VOTES FOR WOMEN
Suffrage viii Be Feature Of Present
Session.

Montpelier, Oct. 14.-Though few
members of either house have remain
ed in the city over Sunday, there is
evidence in the room of the commit
tee on revision of bills of the activity
of some of the senators and represen-
tatives.
Mr.. Cook of Lyndon is expected to
father the woman suffrage movement
and has prepared a bill which ex-
tends unlimited suffrage to women,
both in town and freemen's meetings.
This measure is expected to have
strong support in both houses, though
no such accurate count has been
made as to warrant any prediction as
to the prospects of its passage in
either body Those who have been
active woman suffragists in past years
are feeling greatly encouraged by the
determination of the progressives to
urge the passage of such legislation.
II is understood to have been def
nitely decided that there will be no
governors ball at this session, and
formal public reception will replace
that official function. This has led to
a cancellation of some orders for ella
borate gowns, but no criticism of the
expected action is heard from the
members of those directly connected
with the State government.
Senator Dyer of Rutland county has
prepared a third bill substituting cleo
trocution for hanging, which differs
from the others in that il provides
no 10 chan ann1N in
cases arising before the enactment OF
the proposed substitute. 1t also APP
propriates $1,000 for the necessary
building and appliances.
Senator House of Washington has
prepared bill raising the pay of jur-
ors from 81 to SO per day and dis
qualifying any one who shall have
been drawn as a juror within four
years instead Of two years as at pres
ent.
Mr.. Gage of Weathersfeld will ask
that his town be reimbursed for its
share of the expense of building an
interstate bridge.
Mr.. Callahan of Montpelier will
seek to regulate the practice of vet
Urinary medicine.
+. p. Adams. the dean of the House
has been called to his home in Marl-
boro by the Illness of his son.
Senator Madison of Bennington
started out with a shot gun this morn
ing. on hearing that a flock of ducks
had been seen in Berlin pond. but up
to this evening had not brought in any
ducks.
Governor Fletcher was not we'll
enough TO be present and speak at the
exercises held by the Daughters of
1912 at the State House on Columbus
day, and is not expected here until
tomorrow morning.

Schrank, Native OF Manchester
Chicago, Oct 16.-The hero of the
attempted assassination of Col.
Roosevelt, the man who is given cred
it for having prevented Schrank from
firing the second shot for which his
finger was straining at the trigger
when he was overpowered, is Ebert
T.. Martin, the colonel's stenographer.
All through the present tour Martin
has been always at the colonels ell
bow, pushing intrusive persons
away. More than once Col. Roosevelt
has reproved him for being too
rough" In Saginaw, Mich, when
Martin threw himself against a man
who was pushing forward and showed
him into a gutter he was rebuked by
Col Roosevelt
Martin declares that the man at
Saginaw and Schrank are the same.
Monday night in Milwaukee Martin
was at the colonels elbow. Henry
F. Cochems was on the other side.
you get into the car first" said
Cochems to Martin, as it was Gus
tomary for the colonel to take the
middle seat. mo, you go first" re-
piled Martin. The politeness gave
him the opportunity TO engrave his
name on the roll of fame, for Coo
hens was out of reach when the shot
was fired and Martin was right at
hand.
Schrank was within seven feet of
the colonel when he raised his hand
...t. IL. Il 1.I ~
Roosevelt's breast. He fired and in
an instant Martin leaped on him and
hurled him to the ground with one
of his arms twisted around the as
sassins neck. Il saw Martin leap
on the man like wild animal" said
Cochems, who himself seized the as
sassin a second later. He dashed
him to the ground, twisting the
mans head back and his free hand
grasping the revolver around the
hammer so that the weapon could not
be fired"
Martin is a former football player
and Schrank was no match for him.
Cochems and a special policeman
wrenched the gun away from Sch
rank and then the crowd surged for
ward bent on having the mans life.
Martin and Cochems joined in drag
ging him to safety under Col. Roose-
velt's protection. Don't hurt the
man. Don't let any one hurt him"
insisted the colonel, and his orders
were respected.
Martin is 29 years old and a native
of Manchester, VT. He now lives at
534 West One Hundred and Forty
third street, New York city He
joined the Roosevelt staff August 16
by the simple process of walking into
progressive headquarters and ask
ing for job. He was given it and
soon after was made the colonels
personal stenographer. Col. Roose-
welt likes aggressive men around him.
That young man looks as If he had
the punch" he said of Martin, and
how the stenographer made good was
shown Monday night
Martin was married this summer
He is not only an expert stenogra-

GIFTS OF $4,000
Governor Fletcher Substitutes chari-
ty for the Annual Ball.

Montpelier. Oct. 16.-In addition to
the $1,000, which il was announced
yesterday had been given by Cover
nor Fletcher to the Home for Desti-
tute Children in Burlington, he has
also presented $1,000 to the Kurn
Hattin Home in Westminster, and
another thousand TO a similar state
institution to be announced later.
These gifts are in place Of the
amount that the Governor would
have been forced to spend on the
Governors ball, which this year will
be done away with, in accordance
with his policy Of simplifying condi-
tons in Vermont and lessening the
power Of the almighty dollar. In dis
continuing this time-honored custom,
Governor Fletcher has set prece-
dent of simplicity, which will make
IL possible for men OF moderate
means to hold the Office OF governor
without financial embarrassment.

George NJ. Gray, chairman of the
republican state central committee
spent few hours in the city Saturday
on his way to his home at Kenmare.
Mr.. Gray is enthusiastic over the pros
poets for the complete success of the
republican ticket at the polls in No
vember. There is not man on the
ticket that will not have a handsome
majority on election day. said Mr..
Gray. "Not in many years has there
been the sentiment on the part of the
republicans of the state to stand to-
gether that there is this year. A vote
will be polled more nearly normal, and
it is the result of a statewide senti-
ment that it is only by so doing the
republican party can be preserved" !"
Mr.. Gray is especially pleased with
the prospects for the elction of L. B.
Hanna, candidate for governor, and
predicts his election by majority
over both his opponents.

COW WAS BURIED IN A 0

: Tower City, N. D., Oct. 16.-When
A. L. Bistodeau threshed near his
buildings one OF his COWS was miss
ed, and he thought at first that she
had strayed away; but upon hearing
no trace of her he concluded that she
had gotten buried under the strawpdle
when he was threshing. He dug into
the strawpf1e for several feet, but
upon not finding her he gave it up
and concluded that II she was in the
straw she must have died, as several
days had elapsed since he threshed.
Eighteen days after the threshing
the cow emerged from the straw pile
SO poor and weak that she was barely
able to walk. At drst It seemed to
hurt her to eat and drink but after
q few days she was able to do this
without, much trouble. i
