NOT A LEAGUE GAME,
So Understood BY Both Arrangements
Before 1t Was Played.

There has been considerable dis
cussion in regard to whether or not
Tuesdays victory of the local club
over Bennington would count as a
league game. The Referee in the
PittsfieId Eagle has the following to
say on the subject:
Bennington lost to North Adams
5 to 4 on Tuesday and then put up
a cry that it was an exhibition game
When the Berkshire league was form
ed, the managers agreed that all
games played during the season
would be league contests. This plan
would help out on the schedule by
taking the place of the postponed
games"
Inasmuch as the Bennington man
ager agreed to bring his team to this
city on short notice to take the place
of Pittsfield when the latter club can
celled, North Adams will not insist
that the game be included in the
league series. Furthermore, the Ben
nington manager telephoned to this
city before the contest asking that it
should be an exhibition game.-North

MICHIGAN ACCEPTS LEPER.
State Consents To Return OF lien,
Who is In Custody in Buffalo.

Washington, July 26.-The Michi-
gan State Board of Health has STEP
ped in and settled the argument be-
tween the health authorities of Bay
City, Mich, and Buffalo, N Y, over
a case of leprosy, the patient having
escaped from Bay City and been ia
ken in custody at Buffalo.
The Buffalo authorities insist Mich
igan should send a medical officer TO
escort lien back to Bay City, paying
all expenses. The Michigan author
tiles think New York should pay the
expenses if they are so anxious to get
rid of the leper, but they will be will.
ing to assume all obligations to settle
the controversy.
Nothing further was heard concern
ing c. w. Carson, the leper who es
capped several weeks ago from the
leper colony near Denver or of C.
W. Bronson, who has turned up al
San Francisco with the leprosy. The
authorities here believe one man
bears both names.
This incident has led Surgeon-Gen
eral Blue to decide on the desirable
ty Of Federal control of leprosy IN
the United States proper.

who devised a system of real audit
ing of the accounts of the state and
Vermont has never had its accounts
so well and accurately handled as
under MIR Graham's direction. Mr.
Brown is a man whose ability is rec
.ognized throughout the fraternity OF
which he is a member and he too
has had legislative experience. So
the Republicans offer a list of thor
oughly trained officials whose hon
esty in public office has been tested
ard proved genuine. These men are
all interested in further progressive
and beneficial legislation and can
bring to the state all the advantages
of experience and accurate knowl-
edge.
When it comes to platforms of the
two parties we find nothing in the
Democratic platform that promises
more economy, efficiency or public
benefit than the Republican platform
does. We may give a further COM
parison of them in the future.
SO far as We can see the advan-
tages is with the Republican party
which is pledged to give the people
more beneficial legislation and offers
the services of trained men to ac-
complish IT, Therefore we feel IL is
time for every man who has iden-
tilted with the party in the past or
who wishes TO be Identified with the
real progress of the state at this
time to give his thorough and consci-
entious effort to the support of the
Republican party in Vermont. The
party needs active workers and needs
them now Let us all work together
for a decisive party victory.-St
Johnsbury Caledonian.

AUDIENCE THROWN INTO RAVINE
Platform OF Open-Air Theatre Col
uapses In West Virginia.

Wheeling, w. Va, July 27.-Many
persons were injured, number Sc
riously, late yesterday when 200 Ma
sons and their families, seated on a
wooden platform covering a small ra-
vine in front of open-air theatre
at Wheeling Park were precipitated
to the ground by the sudden collapse
of the structure. Thirty persons were
seriously hurt. One of these, Miss
Elsie Little of Benwood, w. Va, sus-
tanned a broken back and will die.
The others received fractures of the
arms, limbs and ribs or internal in
juries and bruises. Scores of others
suffered from scratches and chock
The annual outing of the Masonic
club of Wheeling was being held in
the park. At the conclusion of a
vaudeville program, the part of the
audience sitting near the stage arose.
Suddenly the platform beneath them
began to give way. There was a wild
scramble for safety, followed immedi-
ately by the collapse of the struc-
ture. The mass of humanity drop
ped Is feet and piled in a heap at
the bottom of the muddy ravine.
Assistance was plentiful in the
park, while a score of physicians
were rushed to the scene from the
city. Many of the injured were I'M
conscious when rescued. A park
restaurant was converted into an
emergency hospital. Later the more
seriously hurt were taken to the
hospitals, while others were sent to
their homes in automobiles and am.
balances. An examination of the
collapsed platform showed that the
posts sustaining it had rotted from
running water beneath.

GIRL ELoPEs IN HER NIeHTiE
Scranton Bankers Son Brings Her
TO New York.

Scranton, Pa, July 27.-With The
trunk containing their clothes wait
ing in Detroit, Nelson Peck, son Of
William II. Peck, president of the
Third National Bank, and Miss Mar
tina Richmond. 10 years old, daughter
of barber shop proprietor, are sup
posed to be in New York today get
ting married. No word from them
has reached their parents.
The couple left here at 2 o'clock in
the morning on the Lackawanna train
bound for New York, after they had
missed the train for the West that
carried a trunk in which the clothing
of each had been packed without the
knowledge of their parents. Miss
Richmond had been lying on a bed
fully awake and fully dressed, with a
nightie over all, waiting for her faith.
er to get home from a lodge meeting,
Meanwhile a taxi with Peck. who is
81, stood across the street.
Papa came at last, Miss Richmond
joined her sweetheart and they took
the first train out. Miss Richmond
created commotion in the depot by
appearing in her nightgown, but
raised the garment significantly
while awaiting for the train to show
it was only bluff.
Banker Peck said that it was all
right.
Were waiting to welcome them,
he said. He objected to the wedding,
he explained, because of the youth of
the couple.
