BALL0U REELECTED
AS GRAND MASTER
At the Meeting of Vermont Masons Held
In Burlington To-day, List Remains
Unchanged.

Burlington, June l5.--Henry L. Bal
lou of Chester was reelected grand mas
ter of the grand lodge of Masons to-
day. There was no change in the re-
mainder of the list of officers. :
Taxation OF the Masonic temple in
this city, and the decision of the SUI
preme court of Vermont to the effect
that such taxation is legal, was one of
the topics treated yesterday by Grand
Master Henry l.. Ballou of Chester in
his address before the annual communi-
cation of the grand lodge of this state.
In his discussion of this matter so long
disputed, Mr.. Ballou said,
'The litigation which has been in
progress for some years relative to the
taxation of the temple was decided dur.
Ing the winter by the supreme court
in favor of the city of Burlington. The
decision was a disappointment, and a
feeling of injustice cannot but come to
the minds of those who understand why
the temple was located in this city. The
brethren Of Is years ago were surely
deceived. As true Masons however, we
must obey the law and suffer our benev-
olenees to be crrtailed to the amount
of the tax"
Last evening was devoted to ses-
sion of the Knights of the Red Cross
of Constantine, which had been unex-
pectedly placed on the program, followed
by the annual meeting of the Vermont
Masonic Veteran association, Venerable
Chief Charles H. Heaton presiding. The
usual business was transacted, and the
following officers were chosen for the
coming year:
Venerable chief-W Scott Nay of I'm
derhill
Venerable associate chief-Frank NJ.
Rood of Poultney.

by the grand list book. which was

yealed that Barre's grand list for 1911
makes an appreciable gain over the pre-.
ecding year, the total being $53,595,
or an increase of 1916 0s This show
ing is made possible notwithstanding
that Offsets for debts owing almost
doubled during the year A great gain
Of S5S2255 22 in gross personal prop
erty was entirely wiped out by the
i,crease in debts owing, and in conse-
quence there was an actual loss of
S65,3G7 in personal estate.
The real estate valuation, however,
increased sl56375, to $4,I34,750. which
more than made up for the loss on per
sonal estate. In the matter of polls
a very good showing was made, there
being an actual gain of l72, although
the valuations show only 1853 as

DANGLING AT ROPES END.
John Anderson Shot Himself Before
Swinging OFF.

White Plains, N. Y, June l5.--Work-
men on the New York City aqueduct
at Valhalla found the body of man
dangling at the end of a rope over a
twenty-foot embankment, in the woods
yesterday. The other end of the rope
was tied to a tree four feet from the
incline's edge. When the body was cut
down, @ bullet wound sufficient to have
caused death was found in the mans
right temple.
Coroner Squire is Of the opinion that
tho man calculated where his body
would fall, fixed the rope, stepped to
the edge of the embankment and blew
out his brains, intending that the fall
should break his neck and make death
doubly sure. The body was identified as
that of John Anderson, an employe of
the aqueduct contractors Anderson had
been in poor health for some time.
The police are inclined to accept the
suicide theory, but as diligent search
for the revolver has been in vain, have
begun an investigation.
