LAUNDRY?
MARICOLD IS SUCCEEDED
 BY LEBERUM

All is tranquil, at least on the sur- face, with the members of the Board of Education. The Commissioners, last evening, met for the tlrst une ago, but if there is war among them, there were no signs of it. The hatchet has been buried for a time, but with the sharp edge nearer to the surface
 President William H. Marigold, who has not been able to attend many meetings of the board this season, sent in his resignation as a member, which was accepted. Secretary Elmer H. Havens, on behalf of the Republi- can members of the board, presented the name of Nathaniel N. Bishop. who received the votes of all the members.
 The office of president being un- filled, Commissioner Thomas H. Mac donald then placed in nomination the name of Vice-President William Lieberum. In so doing he said: Gen. tlemen, it gives me great pleasure to name for president man who by his sterling integrity and honesty has made a name for himself and the city, which warrants any honor we can give him.. Commissioner Liebe- rum was elected by an unanimous vote He thanked the members.
 Commissioner John Cullinan, Jr., in naming Commissioner Thomas H. Macdonald for vice-president said: Gentlemen let mo place in nomina- tion the name of one of the oldest and most untiring workers among our Commissioner Macdonald received all the votes cast.
 Prior to the receipt of President Marigold's resignation the board elect ed Commissioner John F. Brady to be a member of the committee on schools. He received the votes of all. Commissioner A. F. Vaness was elect ed to be a member of the committee on school supplies to fill the vacancy caused by Commissioner Brady going to the committee on schools.
 The resignation of President Mari gold is as follows:
 Bridgeport, Conn, April 10, 1911. To the Members of the Board of Edu-
 cation.
 Gentlemen:
 The condition of my health makes it imperative ttat I withdraw as far as possible from all positions requiring time and strength, except those of a business nature. Tor this reason 1 hereby tender by resignation as a member of .he board of education, to take effect immediately
 In seVering my connection with the board, I desire to express my appreci- ation of the uniform kindness and courtesy which I have at all times re- ceived from each and every member, from Superintendent Deane and all connected with the public school sys- tenn. Especially do I value the loyal support and consideration which has been shown me since I have been the president of the board. It has been my desire to administer the office with fairness and full consideration for the opinions of each individual member and in turn have felt that have had the confidence and friendship of all. The memories of nay nearly 12 years of membership will always be pleasant m memories, and in retiring I shall be glad to believe that take with me the same feelings of friendship and good will that I myself feel for every mem- ber

I am very much grieved to learn of MT. Johnson's death. While the end has been anticipated for some time, the shock is none the less se- were. We were almost always oppos- ed on political issues but our personal relations were friendly and we all must recognize in him a very strong forceful character who was untiring in his advocacy of what he thought was right.

(By Senator Pomerone, of Ohio9

(By SenatOr POmerOne, Of OhiO.)
 MT. Johnson was one of the greatest men Ohio ever produced. He did more to bring about reforms in municipal government than the mayor of any of the largest cities in the nation. He devoted himself to the public and its welfare, sacrificing his fortune and his health for the cause and I do not believe I am putting it too strongly when I say that he gave up his life for the benefit of the public as truly as any man who lost his life in bat tie.

He was one of the noblest spirits with whom it has been my privilege to associate during my connection with politics and I regard his death as great loss to the cause of real Democracy. His unselfish interest in public questions and his untiring zeal in the effort to secure remedial leg islation put him in the very front rank as a public man.
 His death will bring sorrow into multitude of homes but his life will continue to be an inspiration for gen, erationS to come.

AN OPEN SWITCH
CAUSED COLLISION
Accident at Montpelier Junction Last
Night Injured No One, but Smashed
Baggage Car.

An open switch sent the southbound
midnight train on the Central Vermont
train into the branch train siding last
night, and before the engineer was able
to bring his train TO halt il had
crashed into the rear OF the local branch
train, which was standing there, held
for the usual connection for Montpelier
and Barre. The baggage car. which was
in the rear, was badly smashed. but no
one was injured, as the passengers wait
ing for transfer to the main line were
either on the platform or in the wait
ing room
The main line train had begun to slow
down for the station at point near
the bridge just to the north of the juno
tion station, so that it was not moving
rapidly when the collision came. How
ever, there was force enough to send
the passengers knocking against each
other. They had just arisen, ready to
leave the train, and the conductor was
in the act of announcing the "Change
cars for Montpelier and Barre when
the application Of the emergency brake
sent him flying. The Spaulding high
school baseball team, returning from
st, Albans, were among the passen-
gers.
The damaged baggage cnr was set onto
a siding and will be sent to the repair
shop. The main line engine was not
damaged to any extent, being sent along
to White River Junction with the train.

UNWIELDY BlPLANE
REFUSED TO FLY
Bonnet Got His Machine Off the Ground
but 1t Began to Tip and He Came
Down With a Hard Bump.

The first flight of an aeroplane in
Barre, which took place late yesterday
at the trottiHg park, was not success.
&c. c. Bennett in biplane OF his own
manufacture cleared the ground after
running along the field three hundred
feet. Immediately began to tilt to the
right and came to the ground with
bump that broke the stays OF a run
ming wheel, snapped several OF the nu-
merous wires and put the machine out
of commission, so that no more trials
could be made.
Seven Thousand people witnessed the
effort, $500 being inside and the other
half outside the grounds and making al
most a complete fringe OF humanity on
the surrounding hills. When Bonnett
bumped to the ground some cried
"Fakel" and otherwise gave vent to
their disappointment, while others
seemed to be satisfied to see the heay-
ier. than-air machine clear the ground at
all.
After the disabled biplane had been
trumdled back to the hangar, the aviator
declared that his trouble was due TO
the rough starting ground. The field
was rough, to be sure; and that eondI-
ton undoubtedly did handicap the get
away. Continuing his explanation, Bon
nett said that when he started to leave
the ground the left wing and then the
right wing bumped mother earth and
pulled out the skids under the wings,
the last contact causing the machine to
tilt perilously toward the right.
The biplane wobbIed in the air per-
haps for distance of twenty-five feet,
with the right wing barely two feet
above the earth and the other tilted at
an angle of fifteen degrees, while at the
same time it began to describe a sharp
circle to the right. The aviator shut
off his engine and came down without
any of the graceful bird-like Gra-
ham White swoop. but with down.
right hard bump, the biplane stopping
almost instantly but the aviator not be-
ing dislodged from his seat.
The damage can readily be repaired,
the main part of the machine not being
hurt at ali, both wings and the elevator
planes being intact, together with the
engine. Bennett said then that he in
tended to stavin Barre and demonstrate
that he can fly. To-day, however, he
started to ship the machine to Pas
sumpsic.

Curtis biplane and is equipped with 4

hour was spent in tuning up the engine,
overhauling the stays and finding the
best starting place in a very rough field;
but the crowd manifested great patience
through it all.
When Bonnet did start he seemed TO
have difficulty in raising it of the
ground and ran half the length Of the
