IL the committee so desired
BOTH FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Senator Gordon also pressed Mr.. Stick
ney for a reason why the Boston &
Maine would not be satisfied with track
age rights over two or more tracks
through the Brattleboro yards allowing
the title to the tracks to remain in the
Central Vermont Tho objection raised
by Mr.. Stickney was that in that event
the trains of the Boston G. Maine would
have to be operated over those tracks
subject to the train orders of the Cen
trail Vermont
Considerable Importance was attached
by the counsel of the Boston &c Maine to
the fact that 1t was a foreign corporation
that was opposing the passage of the bill
but this was in n measure Offset by the
statement of the Central's counsel that II
was as connection of the Canadian Pacific
that the Boston & Maine was so insistent
on having the right to take the land OF
The Central Vermont at Brattleboro.
The whole hearing was marked by the
repeated Interruptions of counsel and the
exchange Of more or less pointed remarks
that showed that both sides were fighting
in the last ditch.
The decision of the committee will not

Of the Senate as Senator Archibald stated
this evening that no meeting OF the com

TAFT ENDORSES
 CAPTAIN PEARY

Washington, January 15.-Emphatic inc dorsement of Capt. Robert F.. Peary as the discoverer of the north pole was voiced by President Taft in a speech at the annual banquet of the National Geo. graphical society last night. The President expressed the opinion that had Captain Peary been an Englishman, a Frenchman or a German he long ago would have been amply rewarded. He said he hoped Congress was taking sure steps, even though slow to recognize Captain Peary' s achievements.
 The banquet of the National Geographic society was in honor of the progress of aviation and among the speakers was Wilbur Wright and Mai. Gen. Leonard IA. Wood, chief of staff of the United States army, who pointed out the benefits of the aeroplanes as an instrument of reco- nassiance in war. Count Won Bernsteroff, the German ambassador, spoke of the ad- vances which Germany had made in the science of aviation and Maj. Gen. A. w. Greedy, retired, paid tribute to the late Lieutenant Selfridge, whom he called 'the father of aviation in the United States army"

MAN WITH WOODEN TEETH WEEDS WIDOW

Louisville, Ky, January 15.-Frank Farbis, the veteran Hart county mail
 carrier of Elizabethtown, Ky, who was
 brought into the lmelight few weeks
 ago on account of being the oldest mail
 carrier in the country. and applying for a pension, was evidently growing tired of single blessedness and few days ago
 was married to Mrs. Sallie Hunt, a
 widow of this section of the country.
 The bride is thirty years old and the groom ninety. The wedding was ani event of unusual
 interest in the community and a large
 number of guests were present to bid
 the couple godspeed upon the marital
 journey. The old carrier has been carry ing the mail pouch between Munfords- vile and Cub Run so long that the mem- ory of man runneth rot to the contrary. This is his second venture in the matri- monial game.
 Forb.s became famous several years ago by making and wearing wooden teeth, which he carved out of seasoned hickory.

Race for Senator

The prospect of Hon. w. G. Brantley, congressman from the Eleventh, enter ing the race for United States senator for the unexpired term of the late Senator A. s. Clay has lent lively interest and color to the situation.
 The politicians are hard at work trying to figure out just what this means.
 One of the causes of considerable specu- lation in this connection is that Con gressman Brantley and Senator Joseph NJ Terrell, whom he would have to op- pose are of the same color of politics. It might be said that they both belong to the Joe Brown schoor as distin- euished from the ''Hoke Smith school"
 Rumors that Governor-elect Hoke Smith would favor the cause of Congressman Brantley are, therefore, almost incredible. It seems highly improbable that there could be any understanding between them, and yet stranger things have hap rened in politics.
 It is rather doubtful If MT. Smith makes the race. It is difficult for him to do SO In view of the fact that he has just been elected governor. And yet it is all most equally certain that he would go as far as possible to compass the defeat of Joe Terrell, even though he had to select a candidate from another school of poli- tics than his own. This is natural. In view of the fact that Senator Terrell did so much to defeat him for governor when Governor Brown was elected two years ago.
 It is suggested too that Mir Smith no doubt realizes that neither Judge W. A. Covington of Mouitrie, nor Congressman T w Hardwick of the Tenth Is strong enough to defeat Senator Terrell; and that 1t will take man with more than a mere local strength to do the work
 Whether or not there is anything back of this conjecture. it is the dope the politicians are putting out on the sena- terial situation at present.

FORCES UNITE FOR THE
 DEFEAT OF STEPHAN

New York. January 15.-(Special)- It was learned today that powerful ef- forts are being made to unite Governor Dix and Mayor Gaynor in an open com pact to defeat the selection of Wm F. sheehan to the United States Senate by throwing their combined strength in the Legislature to Alton B. Parker as the compromise candidate between Edward M Shepherd and Sheehan.
 It is said that the governor and the mayor from the first looked unkindly upon the aspirations of Sheehan and that while neither Is taking a stand in the open, both are quietly at work endeavor- ing to head of the moves of Sheehan by letting 1t be known that Parker is ac- cepta ole to them,
