IT'S A RAW DEAL.
But Brattleboro Will Play in Bellows
Falls Today Nevertheless.

|
As the result of snap meeting OF
the Twin State league directors held IN
Bellows Falls last evening the Islanders
are going to Bellows Falls THE afternoon
to play off last Thursday s tie game
with the Sulphites. The local manage
ment feels that il is forced into this
action by measures that are entirely
unfair and not in keeping with the by
laws of the league, but rather than tp
he accused of quitting il will have the
team fill the engagement.
The league meeting of last evening
was called on few hours notice al
though the league bylaws distinctly
state that three davs notice in writing
must be given. Martin Austin and j.
p. Ferrter who represented Brattle'
boro at the gathering, told the Keene,
Bellows Falls and Springfield magnates
that they did not consider the gathering
legal and on that account they, would
take no part in it, but after the local
contingent had withdrawn the remain
ing directors made a special rule to fit
the BrattlebOro- Bellows Falls matter
In keeping the engagement at Bel.
lows Falls TODAY the BTattlebOrO man
agement does not recede in the slightest
from its position, which is that the by-
laws of the league contain no provision
for playing off tie games and that no
legal action has been taken to amend
the bylaws. Furthermore, the result of
today's game can have no effect on the
standing of the Bellows Falls team in
the race, Keene being the town that is
most desirous of having the game
PLAYED Last Thursday S game was
called on the suggestion of the Bellows
Falls management, and on that account
the local association feels that there is
no occasion for PLAYING it over again,
but as long as the league directors of
the other clubs have seen fit to combine
to trim BrattlebOro the game will be
PLAYED under protest,

0 INJUNCTION STILL HOLDS.
Matter of Frost Against Power Com
pany Not Yet Settled

At hearing before Chancellor Z. l.
Waterman in the county clerks office
Monday afternoon the Connecticut River
Power company, through its attorney
Clarke c. Fits, asked that the temporary
Injunction restraining the company from
cutting trees on the land of j. o. Frost in
Vernon be vacated The orator, j. o.
Frost, was. represented by Attorneys
Myron p. Davis and H. G. Barber. AT.
torney Fits filed an answer to the bill OF
complaint entered by Mr. Frost at the
time the temporary injunction was granted
He maintained that the trees were cut
executed by Mr.. Frost which gave the
defendant a right of way. Mr.. Fits
claimed that the deed gave the Connect
cut River Power company right to cut
and trim such trees as employees OF the
defendant were engaged in doing when
stopped by order of the court last week.
The orator claimed that the trees in ques-
ton ran parallel to the high tension wires
of the defendant which stretched across
land owned by G.. X. Stebbins in the
town of Vernon. Because the wires hang
from supporting towers above the Steb.
bins land and not across the Frost land
at the point where the trees were cut the
orators asked that the injunction be
not removed ana Une chancellor ulreCl-
ed that it remain in force pending the
report of special master in the matter.
T. Z. O'Brien of Bellows Falls was named
as special master with instructions to re-
port on the first day of the September
term of court at Newfane Chancellor
Waterman said that questions of right
arose which could not be heard where
only motion for the vacating of an in
junction was asked
An action for trespass was brought Mon
day against the power company by j. Q.
Frost, through his attorney, Myron p
Davis. to recover $4,000 damages for 100
trees over which arose the chancery mat
ter mentioned above A plea of the case
sets up substantially the same allegations
as contained in the chancery bill except
damages in above amount are asked. The
papers were served by Deputy Sheriff G..
f.. Manu.

NEW SYSTEM IN FORCE.
Central Vermont Adopts New Methot
of Despatching Trains.

The standard system of single track,
non-automatic block train orders has
been put into use on the Central Yer.
mont railroad and has been in operation
on the southern division between Brat.
tleb0rO and New London since the mid.
die of last week. Local railroad men are
pleased with the new system and claim
II Will tend to prevent mistakes by
dispatchers. The chief difference be.
tween the new and old systems is in the
new clearance cards which are designed
to maintain an absolute station block
between trains, and which bear on their
face the time which trains have cleared
the block
The new train order blanks do not
bear the name of the dispatcher send.
lng the order as was formerly the case.
Under the present system the trains
are handled over the initials of the
superintendent alone. The name of the
operator receiving the order, however,
appears at the head of all train orders.
Another change is that the 81 orders,
for two or more trains are on white
tissue, while the 10 orders for single
trains are on light green paper, in
stead of yellow.
There are now three STYLES of clear
ance cards. One on white tissue shows
the signal is imperative and directs
the train to proceed. The regular card,
which is on green tissue besides the
usual directions as TO the order signal
board being displayed for some other
train. shows the number of the train
ahead, the time il left that station and
the time it arrived at the next station
ahead. This card does not affect pre-
vious orders given the train. and both
conductor and engineer are directed to
see that their train number is correctly
entered in the card.
A terminal clearance card is provided
on green tissue for use at terminal
stations. 1t shows what train the sta
tiOn has orders for the number of such
orders, and the train for which the
order board is displayed. 1t also shows
that all trains of the same class or hav-
ing right of track have arrived and left,
and leaves a place for noting exceptions
if any such train has not left 1t also
shows the time the next train ahead left
and the time it arrived at next station
1t expressly states, however that this
card does not relieve those concerned
from checking the train register and
making sure that trains with right of
track or of the same class have arrived
or left, as stated on the card. The card
does no change previous orders received
by the train.
This new system, which is standard
on the single track roads of the country,
is designed to provide the maximum of
safety without automatic block signals
and taken in connection with the install
lation of the telephone for handling
train orders gives the Central Vermont
IN up-to-da system for handling trains.

ELECTRIC POWER FOR B. & M.
Chace g. Hartman Interests to Furnish
II Next Year,

The Boston 4 Maine railroad has con
tracted with Chace X Hartman. the pro
moters who are building the dams on the
Deeriield river at Shelburne Falls, toI
electric power, according to reports now
current, and it is supposed that the power
will be used for the Berkshire street rail
way company as well as for the Hoosac
| tunnel. The big new power station will
not be ready for service inside of year
at the shortest limit, and it will probably
be Is months. According to 'she informa-
| tion received, the Boston & Maine is the
only contractor for power thus far in
| North Adams but the power transmission
| line is to be extended from North Adams
| to Bennington, VT All OF the power is to
| be generated at Shelburne Falls, where
work on the four dams has been begun.
! When the work there is in full swing it is
stated that there will be farce OF from
| l.O0O to 1000 men on the dams There Is
also to be constructed large storage res
ervor on the Deeriield river at Sears
burg, VT.
The Chace x Hartman company is the
one that is also developing the power pos
sibilities on the Connecticut river at Yer
non. VT There are a number of other
ventures of similar nature in this vicin-
ty. The Northern Connecticut Power
company and the Connecticut River com
pany are fighting for the right of way at
Enfield, Ct The Amherst company takes
its power from the dam at Turner'S Falls.
4 company has been incorporated for de-
veloping the power at French King rapids
on the Connecticut and the Holyoke power
company has secured authority to sell
electric power in Hampden and Hampshire
counties
In crossing private property the compa-
MES cannot compel owners to give them
right of way for the transmission, and the
consent of town and municipal authorities
must be secured in crossing highways or
going over public property. In the first
instance the companies have no redress If
they cannot come to satisfactory terms
with the owners They must 90 around In
the second instance they may appeal to
the state gas and electric light commission.
In many cases of this kind already a settle
ment has been reached in eastern Franklin
and in Worcester counties. There has been
little difficulty in getting the right of way
over public property. however. except
where there were already local power com
panies in the field. In such cases there has
usually been a compromise whereby the
local companies would continue TO supply
the smaller consumers, while the new COM
pany would take care of the large users.
An act was passed by the state legisla
ture this year giving the commission addi-
tional authority. The bill is similar to the
missing link act in regard to trolley and
railroad lines II the towns on both sides
of a third town have given permission, but
the third will not, then the commission
may step in and after public hearing is
given, compel the third town to come to
terms Public interest and public con
venience are thus conserved.-Sprlngtield

J. c. Rockwell's Sunny South Company

j. G. Rockwell s Sunny South com
pany, which is announced to appear in
the auditorium Friday evening, Sept. s.,
is the cOlored organization that ap-
peared here about two years ago and at
that time it gave satisfaction. This
season it is absolutely new and original
in every detail. 1t is bristling with
novel and entertaining features and it
is brm full of laughable situations,
charming musical numbers and excel
lent specialties. If you want to have
good laugh. enjoy the evening and 90
home whistling, happy and contented.
this is where you will get full value for
your money. Mr.. Rockwell does not
believe in putting the greater part of
his salary allotment into one or two acts
and allowing the balance of the per
formance to suffer through the employ
ment of cheaper ones, which always dis
gust the experienced patron, but he has
found that the expenditure of money
for the purpose of making each act and
detail complete pays twice over in the
box office receipts. This explains why
the performance given by the Sunny
South company is always up-to-the min
ute and sends the audience home feeling
satisfied that they have had full value
for their money.

DEPUTY MKAY
ARRESTED WRONG
MAN IN TAX|CAb
Waldo's Assistant Says Some
One Bumped Him on
Broadway Corner.

Deputy Police Commissioner Douglas
/. Mckay landed In the West Forty
seventh street station at 2 o'clock this
morning and for several minutes the
young man played a complex role. He
had brought about the arrest OF Ben
jamin Shffen. chauffeur. of No. 20 West
one Hundred and Fourth street. WHOM
he charged with mallciously and mall
evidently humping into him on a public
~thoroughfsre. The chauffeur denied my
basis OF truth for the charge.
When Mckay made known his idcn-
tity Lieut.. walsh had his doubts. The
young man didn't nave his gold shield
with him. but he managed to produce a
commutation ticket and various other
memoranda. Then the case was ad-
journed to Capt. Burfeind's office. where
II was decided to drop the charge
against the chauffeur and let the case
simmer away in a thick veil of mystery.
Although Mr.. Mckay refused to give
out an Illuminating statement, 1t was
reported unoficially at Police Head
quarters that he had been gathering
evidence against gambling houses In
the Tenderloin, when he suddenly dis
covered that he vas being trailed. He
lodged into the Times Building to avoid
the trailers. and. lodging out again. ne
bumped into a chauffeur. There were
words. and the Deputy Police Commits
sioner got very angry. Before he could
find a policeman the chauffeur had
jumped on his taxi and driven of.
Mr.. Mckay thought he went around
the Times Building and ran to Seventh
avenue to head him off. He saw an
other taxi hat looked just X the one
the humping chauffeur had driven away
in. But 1t was not the same n the
young police deputy had the wrong
man arrested,
