The Green Mountain Club

The Green Mountain club has been
in existence only a short time and
yet it has accomplished much for the
promotion of the publicity and popu-
larity of our chief mountain heights.
Mt. Mansfield in particular is being
brought to public attention as never
before as a delightful resort, and if
we are not mistaken the next few
years will see a complete transfer
nation in conditions surrounding this
famous natural beauty of the Green
Mountain state.
A summer hotel on the Underhill
side of Mt Mansfield has already
been seriously considered and it
would do more to help this whole
region as a summer resort than al
most any other project that could be
devised, for it is conceded that the
beauty of scenery to be witnessed
and enjoyed from the summit of
Mansfield is far ahead of that of
Mt Washington.
The Green Mountain club is look
ing to the development of interest in
the mountains in different parts of
the state and the campaign of public
ity which it has inaugurated cannot
fail to bring results. 1t is to be
hoped that the annual meeting of this
worthy organization at Stowe Satur-
day, June 10, may call out a large at
tendance and that steps may be in
stituted to hasten the good work al
ready auspiciously begun.-Burling-

SHE ALONE KNEW

she was going to Burlington.
Mrs. Trayah happened to see her
daughter just as she was boarding
the car bound toward Essex, gave
chase and called to her, but the
daughter did not pay any attention
to her Mrs. Trayah followed the
car into Winooski but could not find
any trace of her daughter until short
ly after three o'clock when the latter
went into the postoffice, where she
was followed by her mother. The
two women walked toward home and
it was upon nearing the house that
the girl stepped back from her
mother, opened her handbag and
pulled out a small bottle holding
about two ounces of paregoric and
drank most of the contents. Her
mother caught her and hurried home,
where DR. Heath was summoned.
Antdotes we're administered in great
varieties and in the evening she was
resting very comfortably and appear

fence.
When asked her reason for her ac-

HEAD OF TROLLEY LINES
Lucius Storrs to be President Of
Berkshire System.


North Adams, June President
Luclus S. Storrs OF the New
England Investment & Securi-
ties Company will resign about July l
from the presidency of the company,
and will be elected vice president OF
the Connecticut Company, the Rhode
Island Company and the Vermont
Company which companies control
the New Haven trolley holdings in
those states, and of which Charles S.
Mellen, president Of the New York,
New Haven 81 Hartford railroad, is
president
Mr.. Storrs will be succeeded by j.
T. Harmer as president of the New
England Investment & Securities
Company, and Mr.. Harmar will have
direct control of the New Haven
trolley roads in Massachusetts, ex-
cept the Berkshire road.
Mr.. Storrs will remain in control
of the Berkshire Street Railway in
order to develop il. This road is now
owned directly by the New Haven
railroad.
The New England investment &
Securities Company has majority
of the stock Of all the Massachusetts
roads controlled by the New Haven
and is capitalized for about $4,000.
President Mellen's progressive po-
icy is the reason for the changes.
The holdings of the New Haven in
trolley roads with those controlled
by the New England Investment q
Securities Company, totals 2200
miles, extending from Westchester
county, just east of New York city,
along the Sound and through the en-
tire state OF Connecticut, except the
Hartford & Springfield road, which
is independently controlled, and is
| financed by Tucker, Anthony & Com
pany of Boston,. all the roads in
Rhode Island, the Worcester Consoli-
dated, the Springfield Street Railway
Company, the Pittsheld and Berk-
shire systems and the 32 miles of
road from this city to Hoosick, Falls
IN. Y.
President Mellen has great faith in
Mr.. Storrs' ability. Mr. Storrs has
been Importantly identified with the
New Haven road and President Mel
len since 1897, as a constructive rail-
road man. Because OF the unsettled
conditions surrounding the New Ha-
ven's trolley development policy in
Massachusetts and the somewhat
hostile attitude OF the state legisla-
ture to the acts of the New Haven
road, it has been difficult for Presi-
dent Mellen to develop the Massa-
chusetts properties as he desired to.
BY his closeness to the New Haven
president in New Haven, Mr.. Storrs
will be able TO devote time and en-
ergy to the development of the Berk-
shire system which the Legislature,
last year, permitted the New Haven
to buy Mr. Storrs was active In
planning for the development of the
Berkshire lines, and for that reason
! it is desirable to place him in posi-
ton where he can carry out his plans
The New Haven officials expect the
Massachusetts Legislature to have a
change of heart within a few years
and allow il to take actual control
of the Massachusetts trolley system.
When that materializes the early
dissolution OF the New England In
vestment G. Securities Company may
be expected and 1t will be probable
that Mr.. Storrs will become vice
president of a new Massachusetts
company.

THE CUMBERLAND MYSTERY
SOLVED.

The mystery OF the Elosser-Twlgg
double poisoning is solved. The deep
mystery OF the tragedy wherein two
young people, Miss NJ. Grace Elosser
ard Charles Z. Twigg, to whom she
was to have been married the following
day, met sudden and mysterious death
in the parlor OF the Elosser home in
Cumberland, Md, on the afternoon
OF December 81, is q mystery no
longer.
Miss Elosser and Twigg were the
victims OF an accident. They lost
their lives because Of the improper
combustion OF gas from natural gas
stove in the parlor, which caused
caroon monoxide gas to generate, q
gas so deadly that one-half OF one
per cent is estimated to be fatal iE a
closed room. Or. ]. II. Littlefield
and Dr.. A. II. Hawkins discovered
,... presence nf the gas III the par!or
OF the EloSser residence, made expert
ments with it. and today backed up
their knowledge OF its deadly acti"n
by twice subjecting cats to It's fumes,
both times with fatal results.
DR.. Thomas W. koon, who is the
city Police Commissioner was in charge
of the autopsy in the Twigg-Elosscr
case. He said yesterday he was more
positive than ever that the pair met
Heath by cyanide poisoning. He states
that the experiment in the EIosser
paror proved nothing, while it took
an hour and half to suffocatc the
cat under abnormal conditions, the
gas burning high AID ieaping over the
top OF tie stovc, the room being closed
tightly.

HUSBAND SENTENCED BY WIFE.
Mrs. Nathan Kirkwood, Of Philadel-
phia. sentenced her husband yesterday
to one year in the House OF Correction.
The woman appeared against her hus-
band in the Manayunk Police Court.
After hearing the testimony the
magistrate called Mrs Kirkwood to the
bench and informed her that she would
have to be the Judge as to the length OF
time her husband would remain in
Jail.
"You 60 to the House OF Correction
for one year." Mrs. kirkwood snapped
at her husband without seconds
hesitation.
Kirkwood pleaded with the magis-
tratr, but the pleading only brought
forth the answer that The sentence was
just and would stand.
According t. Mrs kirltwood, her
husband imbidcd too freely and sold
all the shoes il the house in order TO
get money with which 70 purchase
liquor. He came home early yestcr-
day morning and started to beat his
wife and four children. Mrs. Kirk
wood says she has been forced to sup
port the children and thought that a
year in Jail might make her husband a
better provider.
