Early This Morning
FIREMEN HAD HARD FIGHT
After Long Run to Pioneer Section They
Had to Lay $50 Feet of Hose and
Fight Flames in Bitterly
Cold Weather.

Occupants of a dwelling house at 81
River street, Montpelier were hastily
driven out into the cold by a fire which
practically destroyed the building early
this morning, the members losing every
thing except two trunks containing vaTi-
ous articles. The house was owned by
L. i. Ala and was occupied by Spanish
family OF the name OF Troulas, Insur-
ance of $500 was carried on the house
with the Vermont Mutual Fire Insur-
ance company.
1t was at 1855 o'clock that the fire
was discovered, and an alarm was turned
in from box 1873. At that time the whole

The fremen had stream of water on

though the run from the station to the
Pioneer section is long distance, and
they were held up by faulty Indicator.
However, they could do little at that
time because the partitions had already
fallen in and the interior of the house
was badly gutted. They laid two lines

all-out was sounded at GAS o'clock. The
fremen worked under hardships because

The origin of the fire is not known,
but 1t is supposed that the flames were
communicated from the stove in the
kitchen. as the fire seemed to be centered
there when discovered. Members of the
Chenette family living across the street
were awakened by the cracking of the
flames. and shortly after that the alarm
was turned in. TIE members of the
Trouilas family had time enough to get
out without injury, although there was
not time to save much of their property

BAR NEGRO FROM MEMBERSHIP.
Assistant Attorney General Lewis Not
Wanted Ip Bar Association.

Washington. d. c.. March la de-
cision by the executive committee of
the American Bar association to oust
William H. Lewis, negro, and an
assistant attorney general of the United
States, from membership in the bar as
sGciation has aroused Attorney-General
Wickersham to the defense of his as
sistant. Lewis is a grad uate of Harvard
and played on the crimson varsity foot
bah team In a spirited letter sent
to each of the 4700 members of the
association, the attorney general charges
the executive committee with an arro-
gance of power unwarranted by the body's
executive sin order to crafty a race
prejudice entertained by some of its
members"
He points out that Lewis was regular
ly elected and the action of the execu-
tive committee can hardly be considered
to tend to uphold the honor of the pro-
fession of the law and encourage cordial
intercourse among the members of the
bar. 1t certainly does not tend to pro-
mote the administration of justice"
Mr.. Wickersham enclosed with each
letter postal card addressed to George
Whitebeck, secretary of the American
Ba- association, protesting against the
committees action and requesting its
revocation. He asked every member dis
approving of the committees course to
sign the card.
Copies OF correspondence between the
attorney general and Secretary White
lcck also accompanied Mr. Wickersham's
letter. On January "a the attorney gen
eral wrote to Mr.. Whitelock protesting
against the attempt to oust Lewis, to
which Mr.. Whitelock replied that none
other than member of the white race
had ever been elected to membership in
the association and added as the com
mittee had elected Lewis in the belief
tl.at he was of the white race it was
felt it could not do less than rescind
its own action inadvertently taken. The
committee had not decided. Mr.. White
lock added, that negro was ineligible
for membership.
Lewis was appointed by President Taft
last year. He has been in charge OF
Indian depredations claims in the de-
partment of Justice Frequently he has
been White House caller and in at
tendance at the White House recep-
ticns.

CHANGES ITS AGENTS.
Central Vermont Places L. o. Morgan in
Barre Office.

Lester O. Morgan, who has acted as
station agent for the Central Vermont
railroad at Williamstown for the past
ten years, came to Barre to-day to as
sumo charge of Central Vermont affairs
here. to succeed Frank J. MeEnany, who
has been appointed station agent at
White River Junction, position which
be has temporarily held since December
/, 1911. Mr.. Morgan takes up his new
duties with an efficient training in rail-
roading He first became connected with
the Central Vermont road in the capae-
ity of a telegraph operator number of
wears ago. He was thus employed at
st. Albans, Waterbury. Roxbury Ran
dolph and Montpelier Junction in the
interests Of the railroad.
Previous to accepting the position of
station agent at Williamstown, Mr.. Nor
gan had been employed in similar
capacity ut AIiddlesex and RoXbury. He
intends to move his family to this city
some time i'm the near future. George
II. Stuart, ir., who has ably directed the
work at the station since the absence
of a regular agent. will resume his old
duties in the freight office.
The information that Mr.. McEnany
had been appointed permanent agent at
White River Junction thus becomes pub
lie. Early in December, Mr.. McEnany
was temporarily transferred to the june
tion town during the absence of the
agent. Since then he has been dividing
his time between White River Junction
and the Central Vermont interests at
Barre. Mr.. McEnany has been in charge
of the Central Vermont station here
since September, 1909. In that time he
has gained reputation as an accom-
modating and well-equipped railroad
man. He came here from st. Albans.
The new position comes as deserved
to Mr.. McEnany.
