JAMES B. M'NAMARA GOES TO JAIL FOR LIFE

what the prisoners would say before
being sentenced The plans we're to
sentence James first. In a general con-
ference in his cell last night, partici-
pated in by Attorneys Darrow, Davis
and McNutt and District Attorney
Fredericks, James had told about his
work in blowing up the Times. II was
asserted by his counsel that that was
the only crime of which he had made
clean breast despite many rumors
that he had told about all of his oper-
ations throughout the country as a
professional dynamiter.
The plans before going into court
were that Jim was to get life SEN
tence according to the promise of Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks, who had
pledged himself to ask Judge Bordwell
10 make that promise good. John J.
Mcnamara was to get fourteen years
if the District-AttOrney had his way
Although Judge Bordwell had assert
ed he was party to no agreement
and would "act as he believed the ends
of justice could be best served" it was
expected he would decide that the
prosecutor knew what was best

today from the bribery charges grow

task was enough for today.

Vermont Now Aggressive.

Vermont is taking a big stride for

largely increased the funds which will

agriculture and the state forester Some

this purpose There will be a bona

sanguine would not have believed posi-
BILE two or three years ago. Some nine
cow testing associations are in full swing,
the only limitation of that work being the
inability to get enough of the right
type Of young men to act as official
testers. One of the leading agricultural
men of the Green Mountain state gives 1t
as his honest opinion that Vermont is
enjoying the most constructive legisla-
ton along agricultural lines that has
been witnessed in years. Dr. Hills, di-
rector OF the experiment station at Bur-
lington who has done yeoman service in
bringing about this reawakening, says
1T takes Vermont a long time to wake
up, but she is surely waking up now. 1
do not believe the blister applied by the
New England Homestead and labeled Dry
Rot did any harm; I rather guess 1t did
some good. However, I believe this par
ticular agricultural activity in the leg
islature would have gone through, blister

POWER COMPANY PROSPEROUS.
Earning $4,000 Month In Excess of All
Expenses and the Interest on Its
Bonds

Earning $4,000 Month in Excess of All
Expenses and the Interest on Its
Bonds.
Baker, Ayling & Co., bankers of Boston,
have recently issued the following state
ment to holders Of $50 bonds of the
Connecticut River Power company:
I'VE are pleased to advise you, at the
conclusion of the first fiscal year of the
companys operation, that its complete
success, both physically and financially,
has been demonstrated. Beginning with
a small load with relatively small income
(Which resulted in a deficit in January of
about $4,000 after payment of bond in
teresD customers were gradually con
nected, with the result that the latter
months showed such a profit that the
year was ended with small surplus after
payment of operating expenses, taxes aAd
bond interest. This is quite unusual for
s. large a company, as the time neces-
sary for the customer to actually take
power after making his contract extends
into many months, due to the delay in
the delivery to the customer of the
nect ssary machinery to utilize the power.
"The property is in superb physical
condition Power is being delivered to
some OF the most prominent manufactur-
ing concerns in New England, in addition
to which several important contracts are
signed which will materially increase the
earnings as soon as the customers can
make the necessary connections. The de-
mand for "a hour power in the territory
has been very valuable to the company.
For the month of November, which
we are informed can be considered typi-
cal under normal conditions, with the
contracts then in force. the net earnings
after payment of operating expenses ano
taxes were somewhat more than $4,000
in excess of the monthly bond interest
Of $13, 333,S33.
IA valuable contract has been made
with the Massachusetts, water and sew
age board for power generated at thu
Wachusett dam, delivery of which, to-
gether with favorable steam auxiliary
arrangements, should take care of thu
company's primary contracts under an!
condition"
