Former Champion, and Hangs
up New Record

Miss Nettie Hubbell completed "a
hours of continuous piano playing at
o'clock this morning, winning the
championship Of the world with her
remarkable feat of endurance. J. M.
Waterbury, who was the first to bring
the continuous piano playing idea in
to the city, congratulated Miss Hub
bell before he went home to sleep,
about 8 o'clock this morning. He quit
at 2:46, at first declaring that he had
been tricked into stopping, but later
acknowledging that Miss Hubbelfs
victory was fair.
The contest was held with the play
ers In moving picture theatres. Many
became genuine fans over the merits
Of the two players, and heated argu-
ments as to the playing and prospects
of the outcome became frequent in
public places and upon the trolley

popular approval while many accused

Washington, March 1.-The wreck
on the New York Central Railroad of
the Twentieth Century Limited at
Hyde Park, n. Y, yesterday. is said
by officials Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to bear out the report
made by the commissions experts
that the limit Of speed or wheel pres

SURPASSED on rails of the usual width
and shape Of head and that the ten

year Is a y Alarming Of this fact.
Secretary John H Marble has de-
tailed three of the most experienced of
tfe commissions inspectors to go to
the scene of the wreck and take pos
session of the broken rails which
caused the cars to jump the track and
forward them to Washington to be
tested by the bureau OF standards.
1t is the opinion among the commits
sion's experts that the rail generally
described as broken is one with a
defect that las come to light only
within the last few months and to
remedy which 1t will require change
in the making OF steel rails. The new
defect is known as transverse assure"
and is said to be more dangerous than
a .-piped'' ur ether defective rail in
that its weakness cannot be disclosed
by test and can only be developed by
service.
The commission calls attention to
this defect and expresses the opinion
that an exhaustive investigation
should be made at once of the entire
subject with the object Of securing
steel rails free from this and other
defects. The commission suggests
that Congress make an appropriation
for the purpose and that the investi-

fective rails the commission says in a

The attention Of the commission has

instances startling ways to the in
creased number of railroad accidents
due to broken rails The reports affect
ing accidents made to the commission
bv carriers show that in the year ended
June 80 1902 seventy-eight derailments
were caused by broken rails. while in
the year ended June 80, 1911, 249 de-
railments were due to the same Cause
In the last decade 2,059 derailments
have been caused by broken rails and
have resulted in the death of 106 per-
sons and injuries to Alp persons"
1t was stated at the commission
that officials of railroad companies and
of steel manufacturing plants are
making careful investigations on the

Of a family jar on East Washington
avenue, on Monday, with her sister
in-law. Names were passed and fin
ally Mrs. Paternoster, who is a girl of
Is, grappled with her relative and a
hair-pulling match followed.
Following Mrs Paternoster's arrest,
her friend the enemy unintentionally

forfeited in city court yesterday. When
the mistake was discovered, the for
feited bonds were restored and Mrs.
PaternOster was rearrested

a fine of $40 on Mrs. Paternoster and
warned the other family to mind their
own business.

Savings of Foreigners.

To those who are declaring that the
postal savings banks have had the good
effect of keeping more money in the
country because foreign laborers have
not sent it back home, the question may
be asked have these foreign laborers
had so much to send homeY Has it
really been the work of the postal saw
ings bank? Labor troubles have not
been few during the past year; indeed
they have been many and in just those
centers where this foreign labor is usual
~ employed And hundreds of such
workers. instead of having sent their
money home, have gone home, them
selves, to await the full revival in this
country.
As matter of fact, as is shown
BY Senator Dillingham's immigration re-
port, a good share of laborers from Eu-
ropean countries come to these shores
with no other intention than to get as
much money as they can, save until they
have accumulated a sum that in their ma.
tive land will pass as moderate
competence, and then 60 back They
live in un-Americau ways to get the
American money and then back they
90. Would the postal savings bank
make them change their plans or are
they waiting to take their savings out
all at once? Will the l0-year average
show more OF the foreigners money kept
in the country permanently?-St. Al

The Maple Sugar Season.

If the demand for Vermont sugar is
as great as it has been in the past and
the law of supply and demand in deter
mining prices has full play, there is rea-
son to believe that Vermont farmers will
receive good prices this year for the yield
of their maple bushes. The New Eng
land Homestead, in its correspondence
from about the state, conveys the infor-
nation that the crop this year has not
been up to the average of years past as
TO quantity; but in some places the quail
ity is said to be even better than usual.
fair yield might characterize the re-
ports from the towns spoken of in The
Homestesd there by no means has been
anything like a failure.
Seemingly Franklin county has nos
shared any better than some other dis
tricts. Swanton reports that the run is
over after short and not very good
season, while Enosburg Falls says that
not much sugar or syrup has been made
yet; and it is the consensus that the
season is on the brink OF being over.
Riehford has been obliged to content
itself with half crop, and Montgomery
is face to face with the fact that the
season has not been very good" Fair
fax comes forward with the remark thas
the yield has been below the average,
both as to quantity and quality, In
Fairfield scarcely one-half of the usual
crop has been gathered, but there is the
happy qualification that the quality is a
little above the average
So it would seem that the farmers
have been confronted with adverse con
ditons that have resulted in a curtal-
ment Of crop which is of no small
Importance. There is nothing else to
blame, seemingly, than the weather.
But in the long run, nature compensates.
and abundance often follows years of
shortage. Next year record may be

RESTRICTING AUTO SPEED IN
BARRE,

While the efforts of the Barre city
council to safeguard the streets OF the
city from speeding automobiles are in
the right direction and are, therefore,
to be commended, it is possible that the
restrictions can be drawn too tightly and
that they will thus sacrifice some of
their usefulness. As to the need for
curbing many of the drivers OF the motor
vehicles, there can be little doubt; the
speed at which they travel up and down
some of the main thoroughfares is not
safe for pedestrians and scarcely safer
for other street vehicles. But there is a
great difference between that rate of
speed and the rate which the city council
proposes to fix as the maximum limit.
Ten miles an hour is but a little more
than double the rate of a mans average
walk. A man easily walks four miles
an hour. Slightly more than double
that, and you have the speed rate which
the city council proposes to require of
the drivers of motor vehicles. 1t seems
hardly fair to the automobilists to keep
them down to less than dog trot,
while at the same time the drivers of
horses are permitted to maintain a speed
considerably greater, especially since the
motor driven vehicles are as easily and
promptly checked as are horses. As
matter of fact granting that an auto
mobile and horse-drawn vehicle are
travelling at the same rate of speed, the
automobile will be found to be less haz-
ardous to life and limb of persons in the
street. Therefore, the automobilists
should be given at least as much privi-
lege as is accorded to the drivers of
horses, without increasing the hazards
Of the street.
A fairer maximum than ten miles an
hour would be fifteen miles on those
streets which it is especially desired to
provide with restrictions. An automo-
bile going fifteen miles an hour is really
just rolling along, and cars going at
that rate of speed are easily controlled.
Indeed, the fifteen mile-an-h hour car is
practically as stoppable as the ten-mile-
an-hour car. Hence, the danger from the
one is no greater than from the other
II is when the speed amounts to twenty
and twenty-five miles an hour that the
automobile is not easily brought to
halt; and it is then that the machines
become a real menace on the streets
Most of the cars, against which com
plant has been made, are those which

Too Poor to Take Out Naturalization
Papers.

Ray Stannard Baker, writing a report
OF the Lawrence strike in the May Amer.
lean Magazine, shows how poverty
among the mill workers of New Eng
land is at such a stage that many for
eig1lers who are eligible to vote and
would like to vote if they could afford
it are unable to because of the expense
OF taking out naturalization papers.
One very intelligent Pole whom Mr.
Baker asked why he did not become a
voter replied very simply, It costs four
dollars to take out papers, and | have
never seen the time when | could spare
SO much money" As a matter of fact,
only three in ten of the males eligible
for citizenship in Lawrence have taken
out their naturalization papers. Mr..
Baker goes on:
THE result of this condition has been
that Lawrence has for years been gov
erned by saloon keepers, dive-owners and
petty grafters. No sooner does for
eigner become voter than he learns
that voting is to be paid for-if not in
money, hen in beer and cigars. A fine

Don't Trouble Trouble"

From information received from many

| ents, indications show a normal volume
| OF business now in hand while from
/ some sources, especially in the South
word comes that business is extreme
| ~ good, money is circulating freely
and an easy money market is ever a
barometer indicative OF satisfactory

| To be sure, there are strikes and ru-
mors OF strikes, but there is nothing
OF serious nature affecting the mon
umenta trade Every manufacturer,
every wholesaler. and every retailer
should pull together with the one idea
in mind, that business is going to be
good; perhaps the best ever.
Turn a deaf ear to the pessimist who
sees nothing but failure and misfortune
for 1912; conditions are, in a measure,
as you make them, and YOU have it
within your power not only to lift your
self out of the bog Of depression, but
to materially assist your neighbor also.
However there is one disturbing ele-
ment which is now upon us, for ever
and anon as the presidential campaign
looms upon the horizon, the pessimist
makes it his business to impress upon
every manufacturer and every merchant
that business will be below the average,
because presidential election is at hand
When questioned closely, he will adj
nit that he has no more ground for
advancing this theory than he had when
he proclaimed winter would continue be-
cause the ground hog cast a shadow on
Candlemas day, for be it known that
some of our most prosperous business
years have been those during which a
presidential election was held
Any condition of affairs which is bound
to employ labor to put money into cir
culation cannot retard or depress bus

ist has endeavored to illustrate our line
Of argument by showing that this most
absurd fallacy will be buried under by
the volume Of 1912 business. For your
assistance you have the cooperation of
your trade organization and you have
already experienced the result of dis
astrous competition. and should govern
yourself accordingly So with spring
