SPECIAL TOWN MEETING
Voters Summoned to Pass Upon
Certain Repairs to School Build
ings, june 10, at 2 p. m.

The selectmen of st. Johnsbury
have callec a special town meeting
to be held at the town hall Saturday,
June 10, at p. M.
The meeting called at the request
of St Johnsbury school directors and
others for the purpose of ascertain
ing the sentiment of the voters in
regard to repairs contemplated on
certain school buildings of St. Johns
bury. 1t was voted at the March
meeting to install modern ventilat-
ing plants in all the school buildings
in town. AS far as authority for
going ahead and doing this work is
concerned, the school directors have
full and ample authority to make
any repairs to the present buildings
or equipment, which, in their judg-
ment, seems necessary or desirable.
The vote at the March meeting gave
the school directors no additional
authority and was only useful as an
indication of the wishes of the pub
lie. The school board wishes to give
the voters the best information OBJ
tainable in regard to the work to he
done and the expense of doing it. The
large proposition of this kind,
thorough investigation should be
made, ample warning given to the
voters and the whole matter thor
oughly discussed. They have, there
fore, requested the selectmen to cali
a special town meeting for this pur-
pose.
The school board have employed
the services of Densmore e LeClear
engineers and architects, of Boston,
to advise in connection with this
work and to prepare an estimate of
the approximate cost. This informa-
ton, supplemented by other infor-
nation, which the school board have
obtained, will be given to the voters
at the special town meeting.
The probable cost of installing
modern heating and ventilating sys-
TENS in buildings where complete
changes are necessary would amount
to, approximately $5,9G0.0G. The
engineers point out that the plumb
ing in these buildings is in bad con-
dition and, in many instances, would
have to be changed soon regardless
of the other repairs. They advise
that this work be done in connection
with the heating and venti1ating
changes as a saving in cost would
thus be made. Entire plumbing and
construction work on all buildings
would cost. approximately, $6,200.OO
in addition to the ventilation ex-
pense.
The engineers recommend that if
the expense of making the proposed
changes is too great, that a part oe
the work be done this year and part
next year, but they strongly urge
doing properly and thoroughly
whatever is done, even though only
one building is altered this year.

Alden Bleihen is Charged by
Grand Jury on Three Dif-
ferent Counts
DEFENDANT GIVES OUT
STATEMENT TODAY
Says Cause of Finding Indictments
Was Because Times Supported Gill
for Mayor and Because 1t Defend
cd Him After He Was Recalled.

Seattle, May 24.-Alden Blethen,
editor of the Seattle Tines, who was
indicted yesterday on three counts,
con5pirlng to protect gambling hous-
es, of maintaining public nu'sances in
the shape of the Arcade dance hall,
and criminally libel,ng Councilman
]. Y. C. Kellogg, today gave out a
stat ment saying that the cause of
finding indictments against himself,
managing editor and city editor of
Times was because the Times sup
ported Gill for mayor and because
it defended him after he was recall
ed. He said evidence is insufficient
to warrant an Indictment and that
he would defeat each case as it is
tried.
Referring to the letter published in
the morning paper in which Blethen
addressed Chief Wappenstein as
Dear Wappy'' and advised him to
remain away from Seattle just before
Wappenstein was indicted, Blethen
charged that DIR. Matthews, foreman
of the grand jury had played into
the hands of the Observation-Disclosures
for political revenge"

quilted Of heresy here yesterday by

LOS ANGELES MANAGER GOES
EAST TO SECURE PITCHERS

Los Angeles, Cal.-Lugging a bag
OF gold large enough to arouse the
coveteousness of even major league
magnate. Henry Berry left today for
the east, where he will pass several
weeks in the pursuit OF recruits for
the Los Angeles pitching staff. Berry
did not visit the clubs strong box for
the wherewith to make desired addi-
tions to his hurting staff, but drew
on his own supply Of coin.
"I don't know just how much Ber-
~ took with him." said Secretary
Parker, who accompanied the Seraph
magnate to the depot, but I believe
he had a big wad with him and 1t
was his own money. not the clubs. If
he fails to return with few good
pitchers 1t will not be because Of the
lack of wherewithal to get them"
Berry displayed an earnestness In
regard to his mission that lead to the
belief that his trip will not be fruit
less.
II may be gone two weeks and
may be gone six weeks" said Berry
at will all depend on my success In
landing the men wanted. I want to
get at least two good pitchers, who
can be depended on to deliver the
goods. l am sick of experimenting
with young players"

RUSSIA SENDS ULTIMATUM
TO TURKEY TODAY

Constantinople, May 24.-Russia to-
day served a demand on Turkey
which almost amounts to an ultima
tum. 1t insists on the immediate dis
avowal of any warlike intentions by
sultan against Montenegro. The Tur-
kish cabinet is considering an answer
1t will probably agree.
More than 10000 Albanias are now
in armed rebellion against Turkey.
Rifles and ammunition are scarce
among them but they are capturing
more from the Turkish troops daily
Guerilla warfare is going on con-
stantly. Many Montenegrians, some
Bulgarians and few Greeks and
Italians are with the rebels. 1t is
said that Montenegro is giving more
than moral support to the rebels. This
caused Turkey to threaten the coun-
try and called for the Russian ulti-
matum.
