vERMoNT's DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
A Gain Of 2e.e Per Cent In the Value Of
Cattle and els Per Cent In the Value
Of Horses.

OF Horses,
The census bulletin on Vermont farm
animals will be found of uncommon in
terest by many readers.
In the value of domestic animals in
this state, the census shows, great
and encouraging gain in the last ten
years-from s17,373,0OO to s21, 1901, 900, or an
increase Of s4,61S,OO0 266 per cent. Cattle
show a valuation of 81, $4,000 as COM
pared with $10,529, 900 ten years ago, an
Increase of 1913 per cent. The figures of
horses are notable. We have heard so
much of the driving out of the horse by
the automobile that perhaps timid read
ers may fear the total humiliation of
the equine race. Yet the census figures
show a gain of els per cent in the value
of horses in Vermont in the ten years,
1900-1910 The value in 1900 was $500. 900,
while in 1910 it was 1881, 900, an increase
of $3,271 600 The automobile is not
crowding out the Vermont horse by a
good deal. The total number of horses
in 1910 was S0,7S1.
As to cattle, the total number reported
in 1910 was 43O,314. OF these, 265,4S3 were
dairy cows, the total value of which
was 9,52S, 900. and the average value of
$3.50. The number of farms reporting
dairy cows was 27,9i7, or S5.4 per cent
of the total number of farms in the
state. These figures show the impor-
lance of the dairy industry in Vermont.
The sheep industry of Vermont is still
declining. The total value of sheep and
lambs in 1910 was reported as $539, 100,
while in 1900 it was 1881 400 the decrease
amounting to about 3S.S per cent.
In bees. too, decline is reported. The
number of farms reporting bees de-
creased from 1878 in 1890 to 1924 in 1910,
or Az per cent The colonies of bees de-
creased from 1855 in 1900 to 1925 in
1910 a decrease of 20.4 per cent at the
same time the value decreased from
S47, 900 to $4,000, or 5.5 per cent.
on the whole however, the figures are
encouraging. They ought to increase our
confidence in our state and strengthen
our hopes for its future.

When we begin to criticise our fellows,
we begin to lose our keen interest in en-
tire accuracy of statement. Notorious
gossips are never quoted for scrupulous
care in holding to. the truth. For, as we
criticise and run down people, we I'M
consciously but inevitably become more
interested in making out good case for
our criticism than in holding rigidly to
microscopic details of truth and fairness

A Point to Be Considered with Our Lieu

The Waterbury Record remarks that
when Mr. Slack of St. Johnsbury was
made lieutenant governor, mo one sup
posed he or his friends would ask that
he be made governor" There is always
that possibility in Vermont. We never
elect a man TO the second place without
being forced to consider later his capa-
bilities for the first position. We may
as well recognize that point when we
are making lieutenant governors.-[Barre

DYNAMITE CASE
TO GRAND JURY
Government Wants Hearing On Alleged
Conspiracy to Transport Explo-
sive-Action Taken in In
diana

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. S0.--According
to information in the possession of the
United States district attorney, con
spiraey to transport dynamite unlaw-
fully from state to state has existed,
with headquarters in the office of John
y Mcnamara here. This charge is the
substance of petition filed in the coun-
ty criminal court Saturday praying for
possession OF evidence in the case to be
used in federal grand jury investiga
ton
John j. Mcnamara, James b. McNam-
ara, 0rtie T.. MeManigal "and others
working in concert with them" are the
persons alleged by the United States at
torney for this district Charles w. Mil.
Ter, to have engaged in the conspiracy.
Dynamite and nitroglycerine were un-
lawfully transported on passenger trains
in interstate commerce through Indiana,
Illinois. Pennsylvania, Missouri and Cali.
fornia, according to the petitioner.
Admissions, discriminating letters and
other evidence, the petitioner recites, are
contained in books, papers and boxes Of
explosives and weapons seized by the
police in raid on the Offices in this
city Of the international Association Of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, OF
which John j. Mcnamara is secretary
Evidence, it is charged, was also found
in q box at the home Of ID. Jones, an
iron worker, and was fund at the lodg-
ings Of John J. Mcnamara. All Of this
evidence is now in charge of Judge Mar
key Of the criminal court and it is de-
sired for federal grand jury inquiry
to be opened on Nov. I. The dynamite
and exploding apparatus taken in the
raids and now in charge OF the police
department are not sought to be pro-
duced in the grand jury room.
1t was partly on the evidence de-
scribed that the grand jury of this coun-
ty returned an indictment against John
}. Mcnamara, charging conspiracy to de-
stroy property by dynamite. Judge
Marley denied a petition that the evil
dence be taken to California for use in
the trial of the McNamaras there

Wilson Of New Jersey declared Satur-

paign in progress in that state.

PEAR PRICES CUT
BY INDIANA MAYOR
War on Commission Merchants Results
in Half Rates to Con-
sumers.

indianapolis, Oct. Through the ef-
forts of Mayor Shank, the indianapolis
consumers were able to buy high grad
pears on the city market yesterday at
The rate OF 30 cents per bushel On pre-
vious Saturdays, the mayor has been
offering potatoes at rs cents per bushel
in his fight on the commission mer-
chants and in an effort to reduce the high
cost Of living by cutting out the mid
dleman's profit.
The pears which were sold were of the
variety which are now selling at 90
cents. The pears were furnished BY a
producer in the northern part OF the
state, who shipped a carload TO a com
mission merchant at 25 cents, only to
have them refused unless the entire
consignment be sold at a fiat rate of
800 for the $50 bushels The plea was
that the market was glutted.
The offer was refused, and the shipper
wrote to the indianapolis mayor, with
the result that the consumer win be
able to buy the product at half price,
and the shipper will get his original
figure for the pears.

AMHERsTS EASY TIME.
Norwich Unable to Score and victors
Use Substitutes.

Amherst. Mass. Oct. 30.After three
field goals by Madden and 40-yard run
TO a score by Cook on forward pass
from a kick formation, Amherst closed
up its score sheet with Is points, while
Norwich got nothing. In the fourth pc
Rod, the game degenerated into farce
at the entrance of Junior Well who
ended the game by hugging the ball
closely on the side lines. The comic ele-
ments in this quarter were many, and
Norwich was only a side issue in humor-
GUS end runs BY We'll and drop kicks
attempted by Fits.
All Amherst's scoring was done in the
first three periods. Madden shone
brightly in all departments, and though
two of his goals were within easy strik-
ing distance, yet he kicked the third from
sharp angle near the side lines. Am
herst scored its only touchdown when
Madden fell back for field goal on the
40-yard line and Fits executed for
ward pass to Cook, fooling the Norwich
team completely
Norwich was easy enough to allow
many substitutes on Amherst, but their
ends broke through on the purple re-
peatedly, Penalties were frequent and
Norwich was timid when the ball was
in the air, but Amherst showed no sus-
tanned power of attack and even devel-
oped uncertainty and lack OF unity at
times. Few open game plays failed for

COURTS RULINGS ASSAILED
Judges Decisions Against the Defense
After Three Weeks There Are But
Six Men in the Box, All of
Whom May Be Rejected.

Los Angeles, Oct. 30 Strong posi-.
bility OF an appeal for change of Judge
marked the close Saturday of the third
week of the Mcnamara murder trial,
for it ended in a general snarl One
such demand already has been refused
by Judge Walter Bordwell, the refusal
being backed by an affidavit from Judge
George II. Hutton, presiding judge Of

of Los Angeles county, certifying the
impartiality of Judge Bordwell
A further appeal, if made, would be
based, to a great extent, it is known,
upon two rulings made Saturday by
Judge Bordwell. In these he denied
challenges by the defense against A.

jurors, Both were challenged for bias

he would not, and this Is ground for
