That Was Reason Given for Central
Vermont Meeting In Boston.

Boston, March, ga meeting Of the
Central Vermont railway directors with
the directors Of the Central Vermont
Transportation company, both subsidi-
ary of the Grand Trunk railway. was
held yesterday at the Tomaine. Their
reason for meeting in Boston at this

convenience of assembling quorum
here, as some Of the Grand Trunk Off
Gals have been in Boston for some time.
Earl II. Fitzhugh presided. The Cen
trpl Vermont Transportation company is
a steamship company, operating freight
boats between New London and New
York
The purpose of the meeting was to
authorize the purchase of two new
steamers, to be combination passenger
and freight boats, for the accommoda-
ton of seven hundred passengers and
five hundred tons of freight, to operate
between Providence, Il, l., and New
York City.

According to Inference From
Statement at His Headquarters
BELOW SPECIFICATIONS
Instead, the President Endorses the Hill
Bill Which Was Reported by the
Minority Members of Ways
and Means Committee.

Washington, D. c., March 26.-Presi-
dent Taft has definitely decided to veto
the Democratic wool bill, according to
the plain inference from a statement
issued from the Taft headquarters. The
tariff board has reported on wool and
woolens and with that report before
Congress, it was thought the president
might feel justified in signing whatever
bill Congress sees fit to send him in the
light of that report. But, according to
the statement, he has decided that the
Democratic bill, which the Democrats
assert is sufficiently sustained by the
tariff boards report, does not come up
to specifications. Instead. the president
indorses the bill drafted by Representa-
tive Hill of Connecticut and reported by
the minority members of the ways and
means committee.
The statement from the Taft bureau
on the subject of the wool bill comes
in a discussion of the situation in Mon
tana, and is in part as follows;
"The people of Montana realize that
if the president had vetoed the Payne
law, the Dingley law. carrying higher
tariff rates. would now be in operation,
while the Republican party itself would
be split wide open Their wool industry
is one which needs protection, and the
people Of Montana are willing to abide
by n fair decision from President Taft's
tariff board as to the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad. This report
has been rendered and 4 Democratic
House of Representatives will pass a
Democratic bill revising the wool sched-
ule this week. while the Republican mi
nority, standing squarely on the report
of the tariff board have reported bill
fixing a tariff tax on the basis of clean
wool, which not only gives the wool
grower all the legitimate protection he
needs, but at the same time affords lib
eral reductions in the present rates on
wool for the benefit of the consumer
Had it not been for the tariff board
which President Taft fought for and Sc
cured in the Payne law, the wool tariff
would again have been revised on an I'M
scientific and unfair basis, and both the
wool grower and consumer again ieop-
ardized by compromise which could not
possibly be fair to both, and probably
not fair 70 either in all its details"

NEW RAILROAD RUMoR
That Boston & Maine Trains Will Be
Running from No. Adams to Montreal.

Bennington, March 26.-There is a ru-
NOR, backed by prediction of an Off
cial in the construction department, that
Boston & Maine trains will be running
from North Adams, Mass, through this
village and over the Rutland division OF
the New York Central to Montreal in
side of year. According to the Boston
s Maine official the connecting link be-
tween North Adams and Bennington is
to be partially by the way of the pres
ent trolley track OF the Bennington and
North Adams street railway line and
partially over new section OF track
to be built between W-illiamstown, Mass,
and Pownal Center. At Pownal Center
the new section will connect with the
trolley line running into this village
Rumors Of q similar nature have been
in existence ever since the Boston u
Maine company appeared before the leg
islature of 1910 and secured the enaction
of a special measure permitting the OPP
Grafton of steam trains over the Ben
nington 4 North Adams trolley line.
At the time the bill permitting the use
of steam power was before the legis-
lature grave doubts were expressed that
it would be possible to operate steam
train over the trolley line from South
Pownal to Pownal to Pownal Center be-
cause of the heavy grade and the curves.
Between the two villages, a distance OF
two and one half miles, the road climbs
49, feet.
To avoid this grade, according to the
report circulated in North Adams, it is
planned to build short connecting link
between Williamstown, Mass, and Pow
nal Center, joining the present Boston
& Maine tracks and the trolley line at
the latter point This proposed link
would give grade of about one per cent.
Preliminary surveys in the town of Pow
nal have already been made.

To Randolph County Teachers

Dear fellow teachers:
1t will be remembered that the
teachers voted last year to hold the
next Normal and Institute in Poca-
hontas, and l desire to call your
attention TO same, which takes place
from June 3rd to 10th inclusive.
It's the duty of each teacher to
take a personal interest in this work
and get the most possible out of it.
While the Committee has been
fortunate indeed in securing as
instructor Prof. WOmack, who is
at the head of the history depart
ment in the State Normal at Con-
way, and in arranging for number
of fine lectures, the success of the
work depends largely upon the in
terest taken by the teachers midi
vidually.
This will be real treat and is a
Pocahontas star herald., 1912-04-19

rare opportunity of receiving able
normal instruction at home at a
very small cost, and no teacher
can afford to miss single day, even
if the law does release you with five.
Our work last year was fine, and
there is no sensible reason why ii
should not be much better this time.
1t is hoped that each teacher will
take due notice and make prepara
ion to be present on the first morn
ing and remain till the work closes.
Full announcements will appear
soon. Let all the teachers get busy
and do all possible to make this the
greatest work of the kind ever given
in this part of Arkansas.
Yours for better schools,
