The most important feature of the
third annual report of Dr. Walter C.
Klotz, medical director of the Vermont
sanatorium in Pittsford, is the stress
laid upon the importance of a longer
course of treatment. OF the patients
who stayed in the institution less than
three months, only 81 per cent were ap-
parently cured and in 22.2 per cent, the
disease was arrested. In the group that
remained for a longer period 20 per cent
were apparently cured, and in S3.9 per cent
the disease was arrested. 1t is evident
under modern methods of treatment that
the patient in the incipient stages of
tuberculosis has good chance to recover
II the prescribed regimen is adhered to
for an extended period. In the institu-
tion in Proctor LOG people have been
treated the past year. the average daily
number of patients being 3771, and
about 40 per cent have been OF the in
ciplent class.

NEW HOPE IN RAILROAD SITUATION
Gov Mead Probably Will Call Legislature in Special Session.
Work New Hampshire Side Suspended by Order Of President
MeIen...PIan for Building on Vermont Side

Developments in the local railroad stu
alton the past week have given new hope
that the Boston & Maine line from South
Vernon to Brattleboro will be built on
the Vermont side of the river. and to
that end it is expected that Gov. John
A. Mead will issue very soon a call for
a special session of the legislature. The
people of this section of the state are
tremendously in earnest about the mat
ter and the counsel for the Brattleboro
railroad committee have secured from
President C. S. Mellen of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford system, a tenn
porary suspension of his order to build
in New Hampshire.
Mellen's Order Suspended.
When The Phoenix announced last week
that Mr.. Mellen had instructed his chief
engineer, George Tompson, to let the
contract for a line on the New Hamp-
shire survey it stated that hope was not
abandoned. 1t believed that the re-
sourcefulness of the committee and
counsel had not been exhausted. At
torney Clarke c. Fits, who was then in
Boston, communicated with President
Melen and stated that If the order
could be suspended an effort would be
made to secure legislative permission to
build on the Vermont side, close to the
river according to a plan which pre-
viously had been worked out, but which
the Central vermont people mad turned
down, although it is no way inter-
fered with yard room or terminal fa
cilities. Mr. Mellen agreed to hold up
his order temporarily and notified Mr.
Tompson to that effect, Several con-
tractors in addition to those who had in
spected the proposed New Hampshire
route were expected here this week, but
they were notified not to come.
Conference With Gov. Mead.
Early this week a conference was held
with Governor Mead with a view to call
ing a special session of the legislature.
The plans which the Central Vermont
road turned down We're explained to him.
These plans are wholly different from
former plans and wsuld not operate to
the slightest disadvantage of the Cen
tral Vermont. Governor Mead saw at
once the injustice that it would work
upon Vermont, particularly the south
eastern part to force the road over into
New Hampshire. with the loss of taxes
and prospective industries which would
be entailed, without in any way bene-
fitting the Central Vermont. and it is
believed he will convene the legislature
in the interests of the state.
The details of the new plan were out
lined in a letter by the committee,
through Mr.. Fits. to Vice President f.
II. Fitzhugh and General Manager G. c.
Jones of the Central Vermont road
March "a. The hope was expressed that
the Central Vermont would meet
the committee in the negotiations
in spirit of fairness Mr.. Fitzhugh and
Mr.. Jones were here last night on their
way home from Providence. but they did
not meet the committee.

WELL DONE, NEIGHBoR.

The New Hampshire legisla ture ad-
journed Saturday in a blaze of glory. A
few weeks before the Senate had been so
dilatory that Gov. Bass issued a special
message calling for action and threatened
to take the stump in an appeal to the
people. The record at the time of ad-
journment was so extremely satisfactory,
however. that the governor INDUCED in a
jubilant speech in which he declared that
no state in one legislative session had
made more rapid advances in progressive
government than has New Hampshire in
the session of the present year. The peo-
pie, not the interests are governing the
state, he said. The remarkable list of
measures enacted included nearly all of
the reforms which had been promised
the law concerning freight rates, a public
service commission for the regulation of
public service corporations, tax COM
mission with power to equalize tax valua-
tions, election laws providing for pub
lcty of campaign expenditures, prevent
ing contributions by corporations and
furnishing corruption at elections, an en-
ployers' liability and workman's compen-
sation act, increased automobile taxes
for the maintenance of good roads, child
labor law and the purchase of Crawford
notch. The New Hampshire legislature
was in session 31a months and it disposed
of more than 1000 bills and resolutions,
most of the measures being killed. Not
"A bill was left unacted upon by the House.
In the closing hours Gov. Bass vetoed
special appropriations aggregating $131,-
500 for the normal school in Keene, for
an atmory at Portsmouth, for improve
ments upon the state house and for a
building for the engineering department
of the state college in Durham.

The man in business looking for a
clerk or Office assistant does not give a
moments consideration to the youth who
is most frequently seen sucking a cigar
ette or with his face partially hidden be-
hind a big pipe of the bulldog variety.
The boys who are wanted in positions
which give promise of careers are those
who are neat in appearance, clean and
courteous in talk and actions. The fresh
and sassy" youth, who brags of his
capacity to absorb beer will wonder one
of these days why II is so difficult for
him to get a decent job. Business men
form their own estimates of the boys who
are going to and from school daily, and
these estimates outweigh all other rec
concentrations when boys are picked out
for positions in stores and Offices.

Proposed Boston G. Maine Line.

The Brattleboro committee, in under
taking to bring about compromise in
the railroad situation of Brattleboro,
have made plans of their own of sucn
a character as to affect to the least
possible extent any territory of the Cen
tral Vermont. The plan in substance is
that the proposed Boston & Maine line,
as it comes from the south, will strike
and cross Central Vermont land easterly
of the Central Vermont engine house,
crossing land which is unused and un-
usable by that company for railroad pur-
poses, being practically in the pond at
the present time. No plan which the
Central Vermont ever made contempates
the use of this land. 1t does not in any
way effect the terminals of the Central
Vermont.
The line then goes through the river
to somewhere near the BarroWs coal
shed and then crosses the corner of the
Central Vermont land to Bridge street,
the length of the line across the Cen
tral Vermont at that point being about
200 feet. 1t practically does nothing to
the Central Vermont except to take the
spur track running to the beef house and
gas plant, which serves several store
houses also.

Offer to Central Vermont.


The Brattleboro committee have of
fered as condition precedent to the
Central Vermont: That they will un-
dertake to provide westerly of the Cen
tral Vermont tracks an equal amount of
space and procure the location there
on of all the industries and storehouses
located on this spur track, cause the
land to be decided to the Central Yer
mont and a spur track built thereon
without expense to the Central Vermont
and all the industries and plants put
thereon with the provision that they shall
pay at least as much rental to the Central
Vermont as they now pay
This can be done by putting Vernon
street into the bank and taking the
Judge property, giving the Central Yer
mont even more room than is taken
from from them. This absolutely saves
the Central Vermont from any damage
and would not in any wav affect the op-
erations of the Central Vermont trains
or terminal facilities. The Central Ver-
mont officials refuse to grant this, but
simply say they will give trackage rights
to the Boston e Maine, the operation of
trains over the tracks across Central
Vermont land to be under Central Yer
mont control.
1t is difficult to see why the Central
Vermont should want to control the
trains of the Boston & Maine across the
no way affect its trains or the opera
tion of its yard. 1t would be an an
noyance and delay to the public and to
the Boston Maine, and what advan-
tage would 1t be to the Central YER
mont? Mr. Mellen says he can build his
line in New Hampshire without any
such hindrance or delay and he will not
come on the Vermont side unless he can
have control of the operation of his own
trains
The Boston & Maine people have come
more than half way on the proposition
They are willing to yield the question
of raising the tracks and Of coming up
according to the plan presented to the
legislature, though II has taken great
deal of urging on the part of the Brat
tleboro representatives to bring that
about, but the Central Vermont will not
yield at all.
An Unjust Position.
The injustice of the Central Vermont
position is illustrated when one con-
siders what the Vermont Valley road
(the Boston e Maine subsidiary line)
gives to the Central Vermont north of
Bridge street. For years the Vermont
Valley has permitted the Central Ver-
mont's West River line to come from
West River bridge down practically to
the arch on Vermont Valley line under
a 99-year lease with an Independent
track, which track is in no way sub
ject to control by the Vermont Valley
or Boston & Maine. There has been no
reason at all why the Central Vermont
