SHEEHAN CARRIES
CAUCUS FOR
SENATOR
Nominated by Democratic Legis-
Iative Caucus
WELL ORGANIZE BOLT
Twenty-Five Democrats Refused to
Attend and Issued Mani
festo

Albany, Jan. 17.-William f. Shee-
han was nominated as the Democrat
ic candidate for United States sena-
tor last night at the joint caucus OF
Democratic Legislators receiving 81
votes, four more than a majority OF
all the Democratic members of both
Houses. The fact, however, that 20
members refused to attend the eau
Gus leave a strong possibility that
when the legislature votes in regular
session he may fail to receive the
number of votes necessary for cleo
ton.
The bolt" was organized late in
the afternoon when a number Of sup
porters of Mr.. Shepard and oppon-
ents of Mr.. Sheehan met at down
town hotel. Senator Roosevelt of
Duchess and Assemblymen Fried
man of New York and Drummond of
Cayuga were the leaders in this
movement. Twenty-Five legislators
attended this meeting and at o.
clock sent a committee consisting of
Senators Roosevelt, Murtaugh and
Gittins to see the governor and try to
get from him declaration in favor
of some candidate. The governor
told them that he could not interfere
and declined to indicate the course
they must pursue beyond referring
them to his statement issued earlier
in the day. ut is question for each
legislator to decide for himself said
the governor.
After the committee returned and
reported to the conference all those
present pledged themselves not to
attend the caucus. Just before the
caucus convened there were rumors
that some of the Shepard men were
weakening, but the roll call showed
20 absentees. more than the organi-
GERS of the movement had anticipa-
ted.
Last night twenty of the caucus
"bolters" gave out the following state
ment:
1.-THE undersigned senators and as
semblymen, having at heart the vel
fare Of the Democratic party in the
state and nation, refused to go into
tonight's caucus as distinguished
from conference for the season that
they believed the votes of those who
represented the people should not be
smothered in a caucus, and that the
people should know first how their
representatives voted untrammelled
by any caucus action, and that a ma
jority secured for any candidate
should be credited to the representa-
tives of the people in the Legislature
not to some one outside the body;
and also in accordance with the ex
pressed wishes of Governor Dix as
governor today"
The statement was drawn up and
signed at p. m, but not made pub
lie until after the caucus. Senator
Roosevelt declared that all the sign
ers were pledged to stand together
against Mr.. Sheehan.

SALMON FOR VERMONT
California Game Fish Eggs to Be
Hatched at Roxbury

T1dbSUCu az hONbuIJ
State Fish and Game Commissioner
John w. Titcomb, has recently receiv-
ed at the state hatchery at Roxbury
$4,000 Chinook salmon eggs from the
L. s. Fisheries Station at Baird, Cal
This salmon is more Familiarity known
to the people of Vermont as it ap-
pears in cans under the name of the
Columbia River salmon. Another
name for it is the King salmon, and
it is the largest of the five species Of
salmon which ascend the rivers of
the Pacific coast for purposes of re-
production. This species has been
successfully introduced at Lake Sun
apee in New Hampshire, and during
the past two or three summers ang-
ers have had great sport in catching
them. 1t is intended to introduce
these into two or three of the largest
lakes in Vermont.
1t does not seem to be generally un-
derstood by the citizens of Vermont
that trout can be obtained from the
state hatchery for stocking the pub
lie waters throughout the state de-
liyered free of charge at the railroad
station nearest to the point of de-
post. 1t is only necessary for those
interested in keeping the streams
stocked to secure application blanks
from the commissioner, fill out and
describe the waters to be stocked and
return them to him. The commission
err decides what species is best suited
to the waters, having due regard to
the expressed desire of the appi-
cant. The number assigned is part
ly regulated by the supply and part
ly by the extent Of waters TO be
stocked.
By writing to the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries, Washington, y. c., any
person in Vermont may obtain appli-
cation blanks to stock waters wheth-
er public or private, and the variety
distributed by the federal govern
ment is much more extensive than
those which the facilities of our state
hatchery afford. II is important that
applicants for fish get the applica-
lions on file, both with the state and
federal governments, at an early
date. The distribution of some OF
the species begins as early as April
| The federal government propagates
something like 227 species of which
those best suited for the waters OF
Vermont may be mentioned wall eyed
pike or perch, and yellow perch which
are usually distributed in April OF
May; brook trout, lake trout, land
locked salmon distributed as fry In
May, or if as fingerlings the distrib
Iution comes from June until October
Small mouth black bass are usually
distributed as fry during the month
of July; large mouth black bass are
usually distributed later in the yeal
as flngerlings. A list of application!
comprising the distributions are mad,
up about this season of the year 81
that 1t is quite essential that thos,
who wish to obtain fish any time dur
ing the year 1911 should see tina
their applications are made out at al
early date.

BOSTON AND MAINE
BILL HASPASSED
THE SENATE
Permit to Use Locomotives On
B. and N. A. Trolley Line
THOSE SCHOOL REP ORTS
Legislature Wants to Know Why
They Were Not Distributed in
the House

Montpelier. Jan. 17.-Three bills
were introduced in the Senate this
morning; one relating to the fees of
town and city clerks; one relating to
commitments for misdemeanors and
one incorporating the Tinmouth
Power company.
The Senate has passed H 5S7. This
is the bill which permits the b. and
Nj. to run steam cars into Benning-
ton over the Bennington and North
Adams electric railroad. The Senate
also passed S 145 providing for the
publication of roster rolls of certain
war veterans and LAT relating to
the state biologists.
The amendments to the state con-
stitution were made a special order
for Wednesday afternoon. Proposal
II of the amendments provides for
six year time lock.
One bill was introduced in the
House this morning providing for re-
pairs and alterations on the Frank
lin county court house at st. Adams
H 4l2 to regulate railroad demurrage
charges was read the third time and

Something of a sensation was pro-

when Mr.. Davidson of Dandy intro
duced a resolution that the speaker
appoint committee of five to inves-
tigate and report not later than Fri
| day morning why the report of the
superintendent of education had not
been distributed to the legislature
| but instead had been stored In the
state library. Mr.. Pittridge OF Lei

which was adopted unanimously by
the House.
H $50 providing for the erection of
building for the use OF the library

special order for this morning has
precipitated a vigorous debate which
is now on. II is quite probable that
the measure will be defeated

SIX INCH TROUT
North Adams Fishermen Will Be
Disappointed

The statement with regard to it
being legal the coming spring to take
five and half inch trout in Vermont
is incorrect, according to Harry
Chase OF Bennington, county game
warden. He writes to the Transcript
as follows
my attention has been called to
an item In Fridays issue of the Tran
script In which you assert that a law
has been enacted in Vermont reduc-
ing the legal size for taking trout to
Ave and half inches. This is n very
serious mistake and am afraid 1t
will mislead large number OF your
sportsmen who come TO Vermont TO
fish every summer. The fact Is, no
such law has been enacted by our
legislature and none will be at this
session. There were two bills intro,
duced to reduce the legal size oil
trout but both were killed In the
House where they originated. Our
fish and game commission look upon
such measures as ridiculous and we
were hopeful that we could have the
law amended making the size seven
inches instead OF six. Now, the truth
Is the legal size OF trout will remain
at six inches aud the warden depart
ment has been so strengthened that
the six inch law will be enforced
more rigidly than ever before, so that
those who anticipated retaining trout
under six inches In length will be
somewhat disappointed this year. -

LODGE CHOSEN BY
REP UBLICAN
CAUCUS
Given l25 Out Of 1853 RepubIi-
can Votes
NOT SURE OF MAJORITY
Some Expectation that House VIII be
DeadIocked When 6alIoting
Begins Today

Boston, Jan. 17.--United States
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was NOM
mated at the Republican caucus yes
terday for a fourth term by 125 out
Of 1853 Republican members of the
Legislature or 16 less than a majority
of the House and Senate on a joint
ballot. AS the absentees were nearly
all from the House, 1t Is anticipated
that the majority of the Senate's
votes will be cast for Mr.. Lodge to-
day but that the House will be dead
locked. Whether this deadlock will
continue to the joint convention on
Wednesday was a matter of interest
ing conjecture last night. 1t was
asserted in some quarters that should
Mr.. Lodge be returned he would have
to seek some Democratic support.
Sherman l.. Whipple of Brookline,
a prominent member of the Suffolk
bar, who has never held office but
who has appeared frequently on the
Democratic stump, was selected by
the Democratic caucus as Mr.. Lodges
opponent.
Interest was centered chiefly in the
attendance at the Republican caucus.
OF the 1853 Republican members OF
the legislature rs are Senators and
1877 representatives. After the roll
had been called several times, % SEN
ators and 1913 representatives answer
ed to their names. 1t was subsequent
ly explained that two of the missing
senators had been detained else
where, and that six representatives
had intended to be present. These
missing members were claimed for
Mr.. Lodge but with their votes he
would still lack eight of majority
in the legislature.
