JUDGE HUTCHINSON
BURIAL IN VERMONT
Had Been Familiar Figure
At Capitol for Many
Years.

Funeral arrangements for Judge
James Hutchinson, of Randolph, VT,
who died at his home in that town last
Saturday, have not yet been completed,
but it is probable that the services will
be held there tomorrow. Judge Hutch
inson was a familiar figure at the Capt.
tol and for many years spent the winter
months in Washington. He was one
of the most widely known men in New
England. Mrs. Harvey Spalding, his
sister, and William j. Hutchinson, his
nephew, both of this city, left yesterday
for Vermont to attend his funeral.
Judge Hutchinson was on terms of in
timacy with all the Congressional dele
cations that have represented Vermont
for the past thirty years or more, and
had a wide acquaintanceship among
other members of both houses of Con-
gress. For nearly twenty years he was
postmaster of Randolph and president
of the Randolph Savings Bank. He rep
resented his county in the State senate,
was delegate from Vermont to Repub-
lican National conventions, and was a
director in many business institutions
in his section of the country. A close
friend of William Lloyd Garrison, he
was conspicuous in the abolitionist
cause. He sympathized with and as
sisted the women suffragists of his
State and once, to lend his influence in
the advancement of their principles, rep
esented them in their national conven-
ton.
Judge Hutchinson retired from busi-
ness years ago, but retained his judicial
position until comparatively recently,
and permitted his name to remain in the
directorate of some of the business in
stitutions of Vermont.
1t vas while walking to the Capitol in
this city, on his way to meet one of his
closest friends, on January 25, 1910, that
he was knocked down by a velocipede
which a baby was riding and he never
fully recovered from the effects of his
injuries at that time, being confined in
bed for almost four months after the
accident.

Big Liners Crash
Off English Coast

DOVER, England, Jan. 23.-Two At
lantic liners are in port after a collision
in a fog off Goodwin Sands yesterday,
when one of them, the Wilson liner
Tasso, was badly damaged.
The other, the Hamburg
President Lincoln, escorted the Tasso
INTO Dover after tugs had come out in
response to wireless calls for assist
ance. The President Lincoln was not
damaged and will proceed at once to
Hamburg The Tasso, however, was not
able to proceed, but will have to remain
here for repairs.
The President Lincoln's passengers,
who included DR.. Royal NJ. Cohen, of
Newark; DR.. NJ. P. E. Grossman, of
Bloomfield, n. j., and Martin Convoy,
Ernest Napier, Max Thomas. and Ed
ward Zinn, of New York, were much
excited over the accident, but there was
no panic.

FINED FOR SELLING
MEAT UNDER WEIGHT
Bargain Store Fails to Give
Customers Moneys
Worth.

Declaring that the practice of selling
short weight in grocery stores was
outrageous and must be stopped"
Judge Pugh, in the District Branch of
the Police Court, this. morning fined
Joseph Fagelson, a clerk in the store
of Fagelson Brothers, at 800 Barry
place northwest, $40 for selling meat
that was under weight.
According to the story of Inspector
| SchOenthal, of the office of Sealer of
Weights and Measures, an employe of
the office was sent into Fagelson's store,
The Washington Bargain Store" on
Saturday night to purchase some pro-
visions in order to see if the very low
prices which the store advertised were
legitimate or not.
The man returned with two pieces of
meat and several other packages. Upon
weighing the meat on standard scales
one piece which was supposed to weigh
two pounds weighed but one pound
twelve ounces, and the other piece was
three and half ounces short The ar
rest of young Fagelson. who sold the
meat, followed, and the case was tried
this morning.
The inspector stated that the atten-
ton or the department had been drawn
to the store through the circulars is
sued by the concern, advertising eXcep-
tionally low prices for meat and provis-
ions, as well as premiums to be Civ
en- with each purchase of bread or cof-
fee.
In reviewing the case Judge Pugh
said:
We are dealing here with a store
which deals with a class of people who
cannot afford to lose a particle Of the
goods which they pay fors The two
ounces or more of meat which was
short in this transaction might have
meant a meal to some hungry poor
man, while the three or four pork chops
missing from this other piece certainly
would have supplied one man. This
practice must be stopped at any cost.
1t is getting entirely too prevalent and
We're it not for the youth of the de-
fendant l would inaiCt a much heavier
penalty"
Attorney Jones asked the court to
accept Fagelson's bonds, but Judge
Pugh refused, saying that, despite the
fact that this was a first offense, and
the defendant had not been in any
trouble before, he could not allow the
matter to pass unnOticed, and imposed
fine of so, which was paid.

Mine Disasters Due
To Crude Methods

Child labor laws affecting the opera
tions Of mines are disregarded in num-
erous States, it is reported in statistics
made public today by the Bureau of
Labor, and the methods employed IN
mining are often crude, causing many
disasters. The fatality rate in the
United States is 3.11 to 1000 for the dec
ade ended 1908, it is reported, a higher
proportion than that of foreign coun-
tries. Variation in the rates of fatality
in the United States is dependent In
large measure on differing processes OF
mining.
The length of experience of mine
workers is an important factor in their
security, the bureau reports. In sup
port of the statement it cites the fact
that of the 1869 persons killed in West
Virginia mines in the decade reported,
one fifth had worked in the mines less
than one year, and more than 60 per
cent less than five years.

In spite of the talk of an extra ses-
