STATE ROADS STARTED
Plan is Under Way For Fine High
way In PoWnal

Bennington is the first town in the
county to start on the state road.
Work was begun yesterday morning
when Geo. w. Hill started operations
with two teams and nine men.
Selectman Frank NJ. Crawford broke
theg round and wore a brilliant red
tie in honor of the occasion. The
road will be widened and the bad
grades and sharp turns avoided.
Good progress is expected on this
section. The government engineer
visited the section in the afternoon
and was well pleased with the pro
gress made He thinks the town is
fortunate in having so capable man
as Mr.. Hill to assist on the road
work.
County Supervisor D. T. Bates and
the government engineer, Mr.. Win
slow. laid out the state section In
Pownal Monday morning towards
Bennington. AS laid out, this road
will run absolutely straight for 1000
feet with not over two per cent
grade.
II is generally believed the lines OF
the engineer will not be followed and
that a reverse curve will be substi-
tuted. Pending consideration by the
selectmen, the engineers stakes will
stand so the advantage of the loca.
ton can be seen. An appeal for pri
vate funds will be made to secure the
change. If unsuccessful, the engi
neers will run second line as a SEQ

Since the former Baptist minister
of Cambridge received his sentence
of death early in January for the

That the alienists named by Gov

SENATORS MUST Be
CHOSEN BY VOTE
OF PEOPLE
BristOw Amendment Accepted
BY House
SUPERVISION RIGHT HELD
Constitutional Amendment viii BE
Signed by President and Then
Go to State Legislatures

Washington, May 1S.-The long
fight which began in 1926 for an
amendment to the Constitution, pro
yiding for the popular election OF
United States Senators, is nearer
success tonight than ever before in
the country's history, as a result of
the action OF the House of Repre-
sentatives today accepting the direct
elections joint resolution as passed
by the Senate with the Bristow con-
stitutional amendment.
This amendment was intended to
maintain the status quo of the Fed
eral Government as to supervision
over these elections, and was the
snag upon which the direct elections
resolution has been hung, hiah and
dry in conference since last June.
Twice since then the Bristow amend.
ment has been elected by the house
on the theory that it would interfere
with the control of Senatorial cleo
tons by the states. Southern mem
bers, mindful of the malodorous force
bill and reconstruction days, have
been bitter and determined in their
opposition to the Bristow amend
ment.
But today the House, by vote of
237 TO 80, receded from its disagree
ment to the Senate amendment and
concurred in the action OF the Sen
ate. This was the final legislative
step in proposing this new constitut-
ional amendment TO the Senate, and
the joint resolution will go at once
70 President Taft for his signature
Then 1t will be submitted to the
States.
There are forty-eight States and
ratification of the amendment by the
Legislatures of thirty-six of them is
necessary to make 1t valid part OF
the Constitution. One Legislature
that of Louisiana, meets this month
and thirty-four other Legislatures
meet in 1913. 1t is evident that un.
less some other State among those
whose Legislatures do not meet until
1913 calls a special session the direct
election amendment cannot become
part of the Constitution before

BERKSHIRE BASE.
BALL LEAGUE
ORGANIZED
Representatives Of Three Clubs
Meet at Cheshire
HOPE FOR FOURTH TEAM
Bennington, North Adams and Pitts
field All Ready for the Opening
Of the Season

The directors and managers OF the
Bennington, Pittsfield and North Ad-
ans baseball associations met at
Cheshire Monday afternoon and or
ganized the Berkshire Baseball
league. Other teams were repre-
sented by proxies.
The following officers were elect
ed
President-F. NJ Osteyee of Pitts
field.
Secretary-John P. Morrissey OF
Bennington
Treasurer-H. R. Hunt of North
Adams.
1t was decided that a representa-
tive from each of the clubs should
meet at the Wilson house in North
Adams the first of next week for the
purpose of making out the season
schedule and fixing the date for the
opening of the league season.
The meeting was held at the Ches-
hire Inn and there was a general dis
cussion Of details many of which
were definitely decided. A fat rate
guarantee for each team when play
ing away from home was fixed and
salary limit was established.
There is a good prospect that one
other city in the section will be rep
resented in the league when the meet
ing is held to arrange the schedule.
With four teams organized 1t will be
possible to arrange a schedule with
at least four games a week for each
club. Such a schedule, so far as
Bennington is concerned, will elimi-
nate the booking of the travelling
teams and make a much more inter-
esting season. The road clubs have
always been more or less Of a lot
terry; the outfit that came with the
biggest reputation and cost the
most money frequently put up the
poorest exhibition.
With a good league schedule ar
ranged and with nearly all the mem
bers of last years star team in the
Bennington lineup, the Huckleberry
bunch should be able to show con-
siderable baseball in 1912.
