FIRE CAUSED FOUR DEATHS.
Glen Falls House at Lake Mercy In
Fairlee Was Burned Early Tuesday
Morning With Erlahtful Results.

Fire destroyed the Glen Falls House at
Lake Morey in Fairee Tuesday morning
and caused the deaths of four persons
and the injuring of two others, one
probably fatally. Miss Effie Perkins, 81
of Flushing, l.. l., and Miss Florence
Albee of Springfield, Mass, were burn
ed to death. Miss Perkins's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. c. E. Perkins, were so badly
injured that they died within a short
time.
Miss Bernice Bean of Springfield,
Mass, who jumped from a third STORY
window, probably is fatally hurt. Miss
Alice Perkins was seriously burned.
Trapped by the flames in their apart
ments on the lake side of the hotel, Mr..
Perkins, his wife and daughter, Alice,
jumped from a second-story window in
to the water. With difficulty they were
rescued from drowning. All four Of the
injured were taken to the Mary Hitch
cock hospital at Hanover, N. H., where
Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins died a few hours
later.
The blaze is believed to have origi-
ing the fireplace in the hotel office. The
flames spread quickly to all parts of the
house, and those who did escape with
out injury were unable to save any
property except the clothes they wore.
The hotel was burned to the ground.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
The house accommodated about 60 and
from Aug. l enough guests were book
ed to fill the house for the balance OF
the season. The hotel was owned by
Arthur E. Hale of Bradford, and John
o. Belcher of Springfield, Mass, and
leased to w. NJ. Gale Of Fairlee.

eATcHELpER QUITS ROOSEVELT.
OF the Third. Term Candidate and Re.
fuses to Support Him.


Wallace Batcheider OF Bethel, one Of
the leading and most active Progress
sives Of Vermont, Rough Rider and
warm personal friend Of Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt, has announced that he
can no longer support Roosevelt for
President. The break came when he re-
ceived a telegram from Colonel Roose-
welt confirming the authenticity Of a for
mer telegram to the effect that the col
onel wished no candidates Endorsed who
would not support Roosevelt electors.
Mr.. Batchelder, in his fight against
'bossism" in Vermont, had been advo-
eating the Endorsement by the Progress
sives of the Democratic candidate for
governor, II. B. Howe. Upon Colonel
Roosevelt's confirming the authenticity
Of his first telegram, Mr.. Batchelder sent
him a telegram expressing deep grief at
the SCATTERING of his ideal and renounc-
ing the ex-President as his political
leader. The telegram follows:

ed.
For more than four months, I, who
am a poor man with a wife and two
little boys to support, have worked lit
orally night and day, without fear, ia
vor or hope of reward, for the Progress
sive cause and have believed that you
were that cause personified. have
and am many dollars poorer than 1 was
that evening last March when I dined
with you at oyster Bay after being
summoned there by you.
II supposed that 1 was fighting for
the real rule Of the people and against
bosses and bossism. Your telegram re-
ceived this morning stating that the tel
egram Of July 20, purporting to be sign
ed by you. is substantially authentic,
makes 1t plain that you direct me-and
men in every state-that we must not
vote for any candidate for any office, no
matter how honest, able, efficient or
progressive he may be, unless that can
didate will agree to pay for our votes
by supporting Theodore Roosevelt for
President of the United States again
by supporting Roosevelt electors.
II was member of your regiment in
1898. For IA years I have felt more af-
lection for you than for any other per-
son on earth except the members of my
own immediate family. 1t Is a terrible
wrench, Colonel, but 1 cannot fool my
SELF and l must be straightforward and
frank with you, as you know l always
have been.
with grief, the depth of which you
cannot know 1 have decided, after one
of the hardest fights 1 have ever been
forced to put up, that I cannot longer
support you for President of the United
States.

OverWorked Words,

This is an old, old poem that has
started on the rounds again.
A pretty deer is dear to me,
A hare with downy hair;
A hart 1 love with all my heart,
But 1 cannot bear a bear!
A boy in writing right may write
To write" and still be wrong
For write and rite are neither right
And don't at all belong.
Quail do not quail before a storm,
A bough will bow before it;
We cannot rein the rain at ALL
No earthly power reigns Ger it.
The springs shoot forth each spring, and
shoots %.
Shoot forward, one and all;
Then summer kills the flowers; it leaves
The leaves to fall in fall.

POLICE LIEUTENANT ARRESTED.
Becker Is Charged With the Murder OF
Rosenthai, the Gambler, Who Was
Killed In New York.


RosenthaI, the Gambler, Who Was
Killed In New York.
Police Lieutenant Charles Becker was
indicted in New York Monday night for
the murder of Herman Rosentnal, the
gambler who was shot in front Of the
Hotel Metropole while under an agree
ment to disclose to the district attorney
the system of graft by which the police
collected large sums of money from the
gamblers. Becker was committed to the
Tombs without bail after pleading not
guilty.
The arrest followed full confessions
made by Jack Rose, "Brijgie" Weber
and Harry WALTON, telling how Becker
suggested several times that Rosenthal
should be removed" The three men,
in a state of pitiable terror, were locked
up in the district attorneys office over
night, as they declared they would be
murdered IL they were sent back to the
Tombs.
According to the confessions the MUIR
derers of Herman Rosenthal were Harry
Horowitz or "Gyp the Blood" Frank
Muller or white Jack" Lewis; Lefty
Louie or Louie Rozenzwelg, and "Dago
Frank" Cirohci. The last is under ar
rest, but the others are still at large,
their whereabouts unknown. Rose and
Weber confess they hired the four MUIR
derers.
The price that the underworld pays
for police protection in New York aggre-
gates $2,4Oo,000 a year, according to the
confession of Jack Rose, the agent of
Lieut.. Charles A. Becker, made to Dis
trict Attorney Whitman.
Rose in his sworn statement, says
that Becker himself is his authority for
the tremendous sum that the gambling
and other vicious elements pay annually
in order to keep in the good graces of
those whose duty it is to put them out
of business.
James Verella, proprietor of a cafe on
West Thirty-fourth street. was murdered
on the third floor of his resort early
Tuesday morning. Investigation showed
that he was shot down in revenge for
his betrayal of "Dago Frank Cirofici,
member of the party which killed Her
man Rosenthal.

TAYLOR IS STILL AHEAD.

Soda Springs Chieftain: One candi-
date after another has dropped out of
the governorship race until it now
seems certain that Hon. S. d. Taylor
will be the man. While there are few
professional or ar-professional men
who still insist that the governorship,
as well as nearly all other offices,
should go to a member of the legal
profession, there is such strong senti-
ment among business men and laymen
generally, that the present sad ex-
ample of lawyer as chief executive
is an object lesson that will not be
chance for any attorney at law to land
in the governors chair this year.
Certain self appointed leaders of the
party have tried to injure the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Taylor by inducing cou-
pie of unsuspecting fellows from Bon
ner county to get into the race, but
this is but to be expected, and it is
looked upon as a joke by the people
generally That Paul Clagstone is
nice boy, and that the other gentle
man whose name we have forgotten,
is also a nice man, we admit, but we
also must recognize the fact that we
cannot make governors of all the nice
boys and nice men of the state.
That Paul made a sad mistake in the
last alectiOn first nv THINKING that he
was candidate and second by ''hol-
lering" when he found that he was not,
is also admitted, and we trust that he
will prove himself a thoroughbred at
this time by getting into the ranks and
working for the success of the ticket,
rather than throwing himself in the
way of man from his county who can
win.
AS to the other gentleman from Bon |
ner county, whose name we cannot re-
call, we would not say a word against |
anything against him, or for him, if we |
would, for he is unknown to the major
ity of people of the state. 1t is prob
ably true that he has been a good coun-
ty officer, but he does not know the
work of the various boards of which
the governor is chairman, as does S. d.
Taylor, and besides he is unknown.
The lawyers who are mentioned are

ernor now.

by virtue of executive clemancy, is
going abroad for his health, and
the dispatches announce that
it is expected that he will fully
recover" How easy for the
President of the United States to
find an excuse to justify the pardon
of man with money and influence and
standing in society, but how about the
thousands of unfortunate fellows who
are today in the penitentiary for a
less offense than the wrecking< of a
bank? Morse caused the financial
ruin of thousands. To satisfy a greed
for money he used the funds of his
depositors for speculation, and the
bank went down. He was tried, found
guilty and sentenced to prison. And
the. President of the United States
makes a farce of justice and insults
the laws of the land by giving Morse
his liberty that he may sail to Europe
for his health and enjoy the society
and liberty of decent men and women.
Had Morse been poor man, sentenced
to prison for minor offense, he would
today, we believe, be peering through
the iron bars of a prison cell with re-
lease only through the gate of Death.
If Morse regain his health will he go
back to prison and finish his sentence?
