The White River Junction
Station.

Zone of the gravest contentious of
the city newspapers and the press in
the more immediate vicinity is
whether White River junction has a
railroad station or not. We cast our
vote with the negative and without
any uncertainty either. They may
call the barnlike structure commodi
GUS, however, without stretching n
point; but that seems to be the only
feature which gives White River
Junction the right to claim Of
having a station. The structure is n
disgrace to one of the largest juno
ton points in northern New Eng
land"
The Barre Times discharges All OBJ
legation incumbent on both the rural
and metropolitan press, and heaves n
rock as il it were duty, a privilege
and pleasure.
How long is the present rank CON
dition Of things at White River
junction going to last?
After the disinfecting fire Of a
year or two ago there were hopeful
prophecies that something would be
done that real union station, such
as the importance of that point calls
for, would rise from the ashes, bui
disappointment has followed disar-
pointment; and a temporary, though
perhaps roomv, shack is now well
coming thousands of Travellers
compromise which our Vermont Off
Gals and the interested railroads
seem to have agreed upon as good
enough.
The Age wonders what our new
governor thinks of the situation, and
whether suggestion from him
might not go a little way toward
abating a nuisance that more or less
affects the whole state
The state railroad commission has
exhausted itself in repeated hear
ings and examinations of the $"
called station and it's surrounding
maze Of unguarded tracks and
crossings Its last supreme effort
was to order the building of an i'm
possible approaching tunnel, AMI
this surprising defiance Of the rail
roads was hurled three or four years
ago. 1t is lost or strayed. and is
better unbound.

READS LESSON TO MOTHERS
Decision Made by Supreme Court JUS
tlee In Brooklyn Something
of Warning.

Supreme Court Justice Marean in
Brooklyn awarded decree of d.
yorce to Mary s. Subway from Har-
old s. Subway, son of Mrs. franklin
Subway of Buffalo, N. Y, $3.50 a
month alimony and the custody of
their two sons. The defendant did
not contest the action, but when the
question of alimony was brought up
he said he was in the real estate
business and was earning 5000 q
month.
Sideways mother, according to his
wife, is worth $5,000,000. Subway
told the court that he didn't think
his mother was worth more than
$1,000,000 and that he was one of
FIVE children. In fixing the alimony
at $3.50 a month Justice Marean
remarked:
eff a woman brings up her son
in idleness with the idea that he is
to inherit something, what the moth
er is worth is clearly admissible in
determining what alimony the son
shall pay"

The grand Jury has reported nine
tue bills found and one not found.
Frank S. Williams OF Springfield
was foreman. The cases have not
yet been spread on the court docket,
but it is learned that there is one for
breaking out of the lookup at
Windsor, and one for obtaining
m oney under false pretenses. The
case not found was that of the man
charged with killing an Italian at
vii der. The jury believed that the
respondent acted in self defence.
The case of II. M Dimick of
Boston VS.. Mrs. Edith Boardman OF
Norwich was taken up Tuesday.
The testimony showed that on
Sunday, November 6, 1910, on Mrs.
l3oardman's farm in Norwich, two
dogs were discovers by Mrs.
Boardman worrying a deer The
dogs were frightened off from the
deer, but were found later on
defendants farm and shot by her
and killed. 1t was conceded that one
of the dogs was owned by MIR.
Munsell, grain dealer at West
Hartford, and did not wear collar.
The other dog was fox hound, a
female, about four years old, and the
principal controversy was as to
whether the female dog had on
collar, having on il the name of the
owner or keeper and the registered
number distinctly marked thereon.
A collar was produced in count
which S. r. Hazen, the keeper OF
the dog. testified was the one worn
BY the dog at the time of the
shooting.
The defendants testimony was to
the effect that the collar worn by the
dog at that time was different
collar and did not have on it the
registered number OF the dog. 1t was
on this issue that the case was
submitted to the jury under the
instructions a the court. RAYMOND

w. c. Morrow of Windsor pleaded

Joseph Adshade of White River
Junction pleaded guilty of having
Intoxicating liquor il his possession
with intent to sell the same and was
sentenced to months in the county
Jail at Woodstock.
This is double the usual penalty
for offenses of this character.

The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-01-28
WHO IS THAT EDITOR?

The Tribune yesterday morning re-
printed from the New York Times 4
statement made TO that New York
paper by Bishop Spaiding of the Epis'
copal church in Utah, The Bishop S
statement related to his effort 10 help
the smeltcrmcn In n smelter center in
Utah, and the way that he was re-
stricted by the company in his intended
good work. 4 feature of the Bishop 5
expla nation OF the hard lines he has
10 encounter here IN his work, cspe-
cially with relation to that proposed
work for the smeltermep. was the very
curious treatment nc received nj the
hands OF an editor with respect TO Il
report OF sermon by the Bishop which
had appeared in the columns of the
paper upon which that editor was EN-.
ployed According to the Bishop, the
sermon which he preached was printed
in garblcd form by reporter who had
aDce made to him Of $40 a month by
the smelter company was shut of. In
an effort to get at the facts of the
business, the Bishop saw the smcltcr
management and explained that the
report was Inaccurate and ovcrdra wn.
The reply he got was, that he himself
had written that sermon, and this
could be proved by the editor of the
paper which had printed the inaccurate
and lurid report of II. On going to
the editor OF the paper which did this
mischief, the editor asked the bishop
10 write out puff for the smelter com
pany, telling what fine work they were
doing for him. The bishop replied that
this was 100 cheap The editor ad.
mitted that it was cheap, but said that
the smelter people were cheap people,
and that was the only way he could
work it for the bishop to get the con
tribution back.
Now, the question is, who was that
editor who acted in such a disGraccful
way; and what paper was it! The
bishop owes it 10 himself aud TO the
fair newspapers Of Utah TO designate
the paper and name the culprit But,
IN fact, does not the dcpravi'v indi-
Gated almost certainly locate the editor
and the paper, both already foully be.
