AeIusT + ER SHORTAGE
After Nue. Discussion, During Which
Representatives of Consolidated Co. Did
Not Offer Definite Plans of Relief,
Meeting Adjourned to Tuesday.

Members Of the Granite MaDufactur.
ers' association, Quarry Owners associa.
tion, granite cutters union, and mem.
bers of the Barre Board of Trade at
tended the meeting last night in tho
granite manufacturers rooms in the
Averill block to ascertain the reasons
for the shortage of power which the
granite industry of Barre has been sub
jected to for the past few years. Before
the meeting were Fl. d. Larrabee Of
Montpelier, superintendent of the Con-
solidated Lighting company, and c. L.
Millar, manager OF the Barre Office of
that company.
After general discussion of the stu.
alton, it was decided to hold meeting
next Tuesday night at 1880 p. m. in
the granite manufacturers rooms to lay
plans for forming power company in
this city. All citizens Of Barre inter
ested in the power question are expected
to attend the meeting. There were pres.
ent last night many citizens who made
no pretentions OF concealing their indig-
nation over the present situation. 1t
WIS sIdIeu lildJ at UleetIHg Helu
year ago in regard to the shortage of
power, A. ID. Bennett of Port Huron,
Mich, was present, and to remedy the
question promised to have an auxiliary
generator placed at Montpelier, so that
in times of low water enough electricity
could be generated to offset the loss by
low water. This eontrivance to furnish
the extra power was to have been in /
stalled by May l. The Consolidated com
pany did not comply with their promise.
The representatives OF the Consolidated
company did not offer satisfactory so.
lution for the failure of their concern to
conform to the promise.
The feeling Of the power users in
this city was also said to be aroused
by the fact that the Consolidated people
were constantly diminishing the amount
of electricity furnished TO this city.
They said that instead of increasing
water development, the company is con-
tracing their power in large quantities
to consumers.
As the electrical power phase is one
that deeply concerns the city of Barre
and has great effect on the granite in. !
dustry of this vicinity, it was stated
that large attendance should turn out
for the meeting Tuesday night. The
shortage of power directly or indirectly
affects every occupation and business
in this city.

finest residence on South Hero island,

a fire by pouring kerosene on the wood
The fire spread into the chimney and as
there is no fire department the only help
was by bucket brigade. The fire quick
ly spread to all parts of the house. There
was ample time, however. TO save most
of the expensive furniture. Mrs. kihbe
Allen, who is 80 years of age, suffered
a broken arm in an erdeayor to rescse
some OF her belongings.
Two fires have occurred in the same
on former occasions. The loss
is estimated at $4,000, and is partially

Fully Half Of the Profession
Have Deserted the City
DECLARE THE DETECTIVES
The Gamblers Have Set Themselves Up
in Atlantic City and Other Resorts
The Search for the Other
Sunmen Continues.

New York, Aug. 3.--The gamblers
who have been closed their places here
since the police investigation began, are
busying themselves at Atlantic City and
other resorts, according to the detectives.
In the opinion of the detectives, at least
half the gamblers have left town since
the murder OF Herman Rsenthal.
With Whitley" Lewis and "Dago
Frank locked in the Tombs as two of
the four gunmen, who murdered Rosen
thai, police headquarters professed to
expect to receive news at any moment
OF the capture of "Gyp the Blood and
Lefty Louie" the two who are ia large.
Lewis, who was arrested Thursday
night at resort near Kingston, N. II,
and brought here yesterday, refused to
admit when examined by Deputy Police
Commissioner Doughterty that he had
any knowledge of the shooting and said
that on the day before the murder he
went out of town to visit relatives. He
was very vague, however, as to just
where these relatives lived. He was
held for further examination on Tues
day.
That the two gunmen still missing are
in hiding in the same region where Lewis
was picked up was the belief expressed
at headquarters and it was reported that
a squad Of detectives, still securing the
neighborhood, are hot on their trail.
1t was said by Assistant District At
torney Moss, however, that he had re.
ceived word from Auburn that the men
were hiding in or near that city and it
is understood that detectives from the
district attorneys Office have been try.
ing to run them for several days.
Mr.. Moss took charge of the case yes
terday in the absence of District Attor-
ney Whitman who left for Boston early
in the day, expecting later to 20 to
Vt. TO remain over Sun
day with his family, Directing his Mt
tention to the police graft phase OF
the case brought into prominence by
the allegations of Jack" Rose and
"Bridgie" Weber that the annual levy
of blackmail by the police on illegal
resorts amounted to S2,400,000, Mr..
Moss had brought before him number
Of gamblers and other characters Of the
whom he closely questioned
The assistant prosecutor would not tell.

gained.

Attention has been called in these coll
umns before to the way in which the

days conditions have grown steadily
worse and by yesterday afternoon the
grass was well nigh invisible because of
papers and other refuse 1t is under
stood that proper steps have been taken
to keep the park beautiful during the
summer months, but the caretaker must
depend to some extent on the assistance
of those who daily make the common
lounging place 1t was suggested yes
terday that those who frequent the park
most should deposit few more old pa
