HAVEN'T PLACED RESPONSIBILITY
For Order to "Come 0n,' Which Resulted
in Collision.

| Rutland, Oct. 5.-There was no evil
dence introduced yesterday in Rutland
county court in the negligence case in
which John w. Blanchard of this city
| is the plaintiff and the Rutland Rail-
way, Light & Power company the de-
fendant, to show who gave the telephone
message which was probably the cause
of the fatal collision between a trolley
passenger ear and electric express car
near Castoleton Corners May 6, 1912, re-
sulting in the present suit and several
others which are pending. This message
was: "All right, come on" and it as
sured the crew of the express car wait
ing at Castleton that the track was
clear for them to proceed to Castleton
Corners to meet an eastbound passenger
car. 1t was between these two places
that the cars met few minutes later
Ernest Il. Hall, messenger on the ex-
press ear, was one of the most important
witnesses. He testified that while at
Castleton he saw Motorman George War
rem go to the telephone and that the
latter told him that word had been re-
ceived that the track was clear. AT this
time the express ear had about II min
utes to spare before the oncoming pas
senger car was due at the Corners. The
running time of the express from Cas-.
Teton to The Corners is five minutes.
Motorman Warren testified that he
telephoned as Mr.. Hall stated and that
the message: "All right, come on, came
over the wire in a voice he thought he
recognized as that of the man in charge
of the sub station at the Corners. He
had no hesitation in starting ahead and
there was no doubt in his mind as to the
source of the message.
One of The other suits which hinges
on this case is an action to recover
$4,000 for the death of Earl c. Clark,
the motorman of the passenger ear in
the collision.

WAS WELL REPAID.
Audience Which Saw Bought and Paid
For" Last Evening.

Bought and Paid For" the problem
play by George Broadhurst, was the of
fering that pleased a rather large au-
dience in the opera house last night and
gained for itself much strong applause
because ii differed somewhat radically
from the usual run of such plays where
the hero and heroine struggle against
many obstacles for three acts, only TO
and living happily. Bought and Paid
For" really begins after the marriage
and the husband and wife have lived to-
gether for at least to years.
Therein lies the disparity and it was
the difference probably, that won for
Bought and Paid For" its fair name.
1t dealt with a serious theme in a man
ner that was never cynical or morbid.
The tale is perhaps too ordinary to re-
peat, but its appeal last night rested
in the brilliaucy of its lines and the
charming aptness of its actors. r.
House Peters, as Robert Stafford, the
husband, injected ineisive character into
his acting and the role as interpreted
by him was never oyerdrawn. Miss
Helena De Kay, the wife, acted with
an artists keen insight into human ma
ture and quality in her acting was sell
dom if ever wanting. William Carlyle
as James Gilley, also a husband, toned
the seriousness of the piece with kind
of slapstick humor that was contagious.
The part of Fanny Blaine, his wife, was
acted by Maude Allen, who carried the
role with remarkable fidelity. The ap-
pearanees of Ralph Simone, as Oku,
were too infrequently, but the little
Jap came around often enough to call
the turn on some tensely serious situa-
ton by his delightful salutations and
excuse mes" The stage investiture
lacked nothing as to detail and the set
ting for the first act was one of the not
Bile achievements Of the presentation.

A Nine Year Old Girl Who Could Speak
Eight Languages.

In the department in the October
Woman's Home Companion, which is de-
voted to short biographies of remark
able people, appears an article about
Winifred Stoner, nine year old girl liv-
ing in Pittsburg, who knows eight lon
guages. Following is an extract:
Every little while Pittsburg news
paper men in quest of a good feature
story beg Mrs. James Buchanan Stoner
to talk about her little daughter, Wini-
fred. Hasn't Winifred written a new
book they ask. 'or learned another Ian
guage, or painted a new pictureP And
the chances are that Ninlfrcd has done
one or all these things; for, at the age
OF nine. this little girl is the author OF
two books, is fluent in eight languages,
is skilled in music, painting, the writing
of verse and stories. and modelling in
clay, yet remains a sturdy active jolly
little girl in spite of all her accomplish
ments. Perhaps il was because her
mother lulled her to sleep by chanting
Latin hymns that baby Winifred was
able to scan Nergil when fourteen
months old. But. though Mrs. Stoner
insists that her daughter is no genius.

must really have been a fairly bright
baby to speak distinctly when s:x
months old, and to recite Tennyson's
Crossing the Bar and that with feeling
end emotion at the mature age Of one
year. Before she could read she hal
learned more from pictures than most
children absorb from books in the
primary schools; and in playing with
her dolls-more than a hundred therr
were, all properly costumed-she gained

sharaeters Of Shakespeare's plays.

Large Tract Of Land Near

Extensive travel over the far west

and thorough study of the real es-

Bayley, superintendent of penman-

pleted the purchase of 200 acres
from the Florida Lakeland Homes
company.
Mr.. Bayley's purchase lies just
east of Lake Parker on the Lakeland

from the city and the transaction was

II have made an especially careful

Bayley.
"In my opinion there were great
opportunities for the investor in
western fruit lands several years
ago but those opportunities have
largely disappeared with the rapid
rise in values. These values may 90
