The Springfield Republican proceeds
to show the strength of the different
elements of Vermont's population as
follows:
The Senator may not know, but there
are, in fact, other industrial persons in
Vermont besides the farmers. He may
not know it, but these other persons are
numerous enough and economically
valuable enough to be entitled to the
consideration of others if not to that of
the senator. The last available census
figures $1,000 show the people of YER
mont above 10 years of age to be
classified by gainful occupations as
follows:
Total population 10 years and
over 27S, 943
All gainful occupations 134, 933
Of which engaged inIagriculture 40, 800
Engaged in professional service 7,016
Domestic and personal service %, OPS
Trade and transportation 1885
Manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits SO, $50
Thus minority of the States indus
trial population is to be found on the
farms. Only about 40 per cent. in
fact, are to be found there, leaving
60 per cent. for other occupations.
Nearly 80 per cent. of all are found in
manufacturing and mechanical pursuits,
or not so very far short of the number
in agriculture. Fourteen per cent. are
engaged in trade and transportation,
and those so engaged, along with those
in personal and domestic and profess
sional service, make up number just
about equalto the farming class. Bur

corner of Hammond and Centrals
streets, nearly two miles from the start
of the blaze, and there the spread of
the flames was checked at midnight.
But while the rain and the shifting of
the wind to the east saved the rest of
the city from destruction, it only added
to the discomfort of thousands who had
seen their homes go up in flames and
who were hudded together in the
streets. The burning of the churches
and public buildings left many of the

THREE LIVES wE&E LOST.
Three lives are known to have beer
lost, although the names of none of the
victims are known. A fireman was in
jured by falling wall and died on the
way to the hospital; an unknown young
man was crushed to death when one of
the churches collapsed, and an elderly
man from Brewer, who had crossed the
river to watch the fire, was also buried
beneath falling debris.

TEACHER ARRESTED DRIVER
She Stopped Horse as II Dashed
THROUGH School Ranks,

1t was due to the pluck OF. Miss Ger
trude Boonicz, pretty young school
teacher, that driver, who is alleged to
have driven at reckless rate of speed
into the ranks of school children en-
gagged in a fire drill, was arrested and
later fined in the Manhattan avenue po-
lice court today.
Miss Boonicz teaches one of the lower
grades in Public School No. AZ, on Boe-
rum street, near Manhattan avenue,
which is one of the largest schools in the
city, and has on register nearly $500
pupils. When the fire gong was sound
ed this morning the young woman
marched from the building at the head
of her class. AS she crossed the street
she noticed wagon coming along at a
high rate of speed. She waved her
hand as signal for the driver to stop,
but it is alleged he paid no attention to
her. She parted the ranks and the
children by this time had become ex-
cited at the sight of the impending
danger. They scattered to the side
walk, but Miss Boonfcz fearlessly stood
in the path of the horse.
When the animal was within a few
feet of her she stepped slightly out OF
its path, and as it passed her seized hole
of the bride. She was dragged from
her feet, and the driver, it was declared

KILLED IN MOTOR CYCLE
CRASH.
One Man Dead and One Fatally

Philadelphia, April %. One man was
killed and another probably fatally in

The sidewalks were crowded with prom
enaders, and several women tainted
when the machines crashed together.
The dead man, George Bell, was riding
northward when John Moxey approach

Railroads and Extra Sessions.

The Waterbury Record makes a very
sensible and practical suggestion in
relation to the Bratteboro railroad con-
troyersy when it says:
1--WE believe the voters of the State
have expressed themselves freely
know by this time that an extra SEES
sion of the Legislature, called for the
purpose of enacting certain railroad
legislation, would not be a popular
move. We fully believe the public
service commission have sufficient
power to unravel the Bratteboro tan
gle, and to our mind they are the only
officials in the State that should be
drawn into such matters. If Mr.. Mel
len of the New Haven and Mr.. Fitz-
hugh of the Grand Trunk are anxious
to hold get-together meeting, let it
be held under the direction of the pub
lie service commission, which was
created for just such purposes. We
are not out of the way when we say
that in this board the State has men of
ability and who are sufficiently con-
versant with the situation to render a
verdict just to both the railroads and
the public"
This is we'll said. Why put the tax
payers of Vermont to the expense of
an extra session, when we are paying a
body of men to attend to just such
questions as those involved at Brattle-
borol- Burlington Free Press.

missioner of Agriculture o. L. Martin

FOSS AUTO IN COLLISION.
Governor and Family ENDANGERED
When Car Hits That of c: r.
Beokwith.

Gov. Foss, Mrs. Foss and their two
daughters had narrow escape from in
jury yesterday afternoon when their
automobile was in collision with the
automobile of C. F. Beckwith on South
street, Forest Hills, near the entrance
of the Arborway.
The two machines, neither of which
was going at high speed, came to-
gether head on, and Arthur Cornett, the
Governor chauffeur, was able to
swerve his car so that the other auto
mobile struck it a glancing blow, smash
ing the mud guard and the lamp on one
side. -
Gov. Foss was returning from his
summer home in Cohassett and was
crossing the parkway toward his home
in Jamaica Plain. AS his automobile
mounted the hill from Washington
street to the Arborway the machine of
Beckwith swung out directly in its
path.
In the car with Beckwith were E. l..
Bridges of IS Milk street, Miss A. Will
son and Miss M. Sturgis. For a mo-
ment it seems as if the cars would meet
with full force, but the timely turn pre-
vented any of the occupants feeling the
force of the collision.
Gov. Foss's machine was not dis
abled and Mr.. Beckwith's car was lit.

Autos in SwitzerIa nd.

1t will be a gladstone news down
Middlebury way, that the people of the
eastern canton of Switzerland have
voted decisively to continue the excu-
sion. of automobiles. 1t seems that the
people of the canton the most beauti-
full part of Switzerland-have always
been.opposed to autos, nothwithstand
ingIthe.efforts of both the cantonal and
thesI federal government to overcome
the hostility. Wherefore, after regula-
tions1favorable to motorists had been
rejected every time they were pre-
sented nsreferendum, resort was taken
to the initiative. The vote on this
proposition. however, was adverse to
automobiles.
The reasons as summarized by an
exchangeIfor opposition to the motorists
are several. The Swiss roads are in
many instances i'll adapted to motor
traffic. Many of them are narrow,
with.frequent sharp curves and steep
grades, (which greatly increase the dan
ger of accidents. In summer they are
much used by tourists and also by the
natives population as popular prom
enades, and both are hostile to surren-
dering what they consider their
privileges.and rights. Another reason
for the opposition to motor cars,
especially on the part of farmers, is the
fact that the.dust created by the auto
mobiles causes serious damages to vege-
tation in the neighboring fields; and it
is also alleged that the lime in the dust
from the[macadam roads is so injurious
to the animals pastured in the fields
that manyiof them die from the effects.

FRIDAY, MAY S, 1911.
Automobiles and Dust.

The automobile as dust raiser and
dangerous vehicle to have on the street,
as it is now generally run, was the sub
ject of long discussion which started
when residents of lower West street
presented a petition asking if there
were not some way in which the streets
could be sprinkled with water or oil.
Alderman Brislin stated that auto
mobiles speeded so much on State street
that people could not remain on their
piazzas because of the clouds of
dust that were raised continually.
Other aldermen pointed out that this
same condition existed on other streets,
the general danger arising from speed
ing and non-observance of the ordinary
laws of the road by chauffeurs in this
city being also discussed. 1t was the
general opinion that the board could do
nothing towards providing for the
sprinkling of the streets; this matter
lies entirely with F. R. Blanchard,
superintendent Of public works.
After long discussion in which al
most every member had something to
say, Alderman Chaffee moved that the
commissioner of public safety be in
formed that it was the sense of the
meeting that something be done to stop
automobile speeding especially during
the present dusty spell.
On motion of Alderman Dunn a reso-
luton was also passed instructing the
president of the board to appoint com
mittee to frame an ordinance regulat-
ing the running of automobiles in the
city, the president, Mr.. Howe, to be
one of the committee. The other men,
bers of the committee are Aldermen

We are glad to see that the author
tiles at Rutland do not accept the fall
lacy that there is no law of limitation
to the speed of automobiles, which, as
it appeared in hearing before the
Committee on Internal Affairs in the
Legislature, has been upheld in Burling-
ton. Because of this, Mayor Burke
appeared before the committee, urging
such alterations in the law as would
relieve these conditions at Burlington.
Mr.. Burke stated the case very
clearly, appearing exceedingly well in
endeavoring to do all he could to protect
the comfort, lives and property of the
citizens of Burlington. But the Com
mittee paid no attention whatever to
Mayor Burke, which certainly was a
most remarkable thing for them to do,
and very complete evidence that they
