John Johnson. colored, was ar
raigned before Municipal Judge E.

burglary under the statute which so
defines the breaking and entering of

cal freight yard by Special officer

railroad company had discovered the
young black, who gave his age as a.
attempting to get out of a freight
car which was part of a train
from Chatham. Johnson was taken
to the gas house and there detained
until officer Gardner arrived.
The car was loaded with a lot Of
miscellaneous freight and when the
door was opened IL was found that a
number of packages had been brok-
en-. A case Of shoes had been open
ed also a box Of soap. II was also
evident that some on had opened a
crate of pineapples and eaten some
OF the fruit.
In court this morning Johnson

drunk in Chatham and that some one
put him in the car. The seal on the
car had been broken.

MANY DEMOCRATS
WANT TO GO TO
BALTIMORE
Party Confronted by Plenty Of
Candidates
COMMITTEESHIP CONTEST
COMMITTEESHIP CONTEST
The Browne-6urke Fight Second
Only to Contest for State Chair
man with Three Candidates

Rutland, May 20.-As the date OF
the democratic state convention June
Is, draws nearer, speculation as to
the results of that convention be-
come rife. Naturally interest in the
outcome Of the fight for the Office OF
national committeeman, now raging
between the adherents of Thomas H.
Browne of this city and James Il.
Burke of West Rutland overshadows
the other issues, but there are other
features of interest to Rutland peo-
pie in the political situation. Attor-
ney p NJ Mellon of this city has
been selected for temporary chair
man of the convention by the state
committee.
Among the names prominently
mentioned in connection with the
Vermont delegation to the national
convention at Baltimore are those OF
j. Walter Lyons of Rutland. Other
candidates. for this Office include
those of Dr. w. B. Mayo of North
field, c. d. Watson of st. Adams, DIR
j. w. Carver of Marshfield, l.. N.
Woods of Montpelier, r. S. Childs
and Michael Moran OF Brattleboro,
Fred c. Martin and John P. Gavin
Of Bennington, Howard Il. Shaw OF
Stowe, Arthur Gleason of ST. Johns
bury and John Higgins of Middlebury
NJ. G. Leary of Burlington, o. C.
Sawyer of Sharon, John Thurston OF
Island Pond, Dr. c. N. Barber OF
Barre town, b. E. Billiard OF Hard
wick
The party has been kept at such
white heat by the Burke-Browne fight
that interest in the gubernatorial
situation is secondary. The only
men prominently mentioned as can
didates for governor are Charles D.
Watson of St Adams, the partys
choice in 1910, and Harland B. Howe
of st. Johnsbury.
]. T. Burke OF Burlington, well
known here, +. S. Harris of Benning-
ton and f. L. Webster OF Swanton
are out for the office of state chair
man. Mr.. Harris is the present in.
cumbent, and has the advantage
which that fact gives him over his
opponents, but a contest is looked
for The present indications point to
la stormy centering around the selec-
ton Of national committeeman. Bota
sides claim that victory will perch
upon their banners, and both sides
produce figures bearing out their
claims.

BEAT RUTLAND q TO 2
Best High School Game Seen in Ben
nington for Some Time

The Bennington high school base
ball team played its last home game
of the present season at Morgan park
Saturday afternoon when it defeated
Rutland high school by a score of
to 2 The game was one of the
best high school games ever played
in Bennington, and the crowd in at
tendance was one of the largest to
witness school game in several
years
Scott appeared to have the little
the better of the pitching argument
but Kennedy, who was in the box
for Rutland, was one of the feature
players of the game. He fielded his
position in excellent style and took
part in two double plays.
The Rutland players were rather
lucky in their batting, several OF
the swats off Scott which went Tor
hits would have ordinarily been outs
had the Bennington fielders put a
little more speed into their work
Murphy lead in the batting with
two singles and a double and his
Nus HSuIcu largely III tllf SCOIulS VI
Bennington runs.
The game was interesting because
of the fact that for several innings
the visitors had lead Of one run.
The star feature of the game was
the playing of Ellsworth, the little
third baseman from Rutland He
handled ground balls with the pre-
cision OF professional and the way
he shot the pill across the diamond
made the spectators sit up and take
notice. The score:

NO GRAND JURORS CALLED
Only Two State Cases for June Term
of County Court

OF county court
There will be no session of the
grand jury at the June term of coun-
ty court which opens at Manchester
on the 4th. This is the first time
in many years that the grand Jury
has not been called for the June term
but there was so little business in
prospect when the assistant judges
were called here on Saturday, that
il was deemed inexpedient to put the
state to the expense of grand jury.
At the present time there are two
persons in the county Jail charged
with a statutory offence but other
wise there are no cases to be prose
cuted by the state. The two prison
ers will be brought before the court
on informations filed against them
by States Attorney w. j Meagher.
The petit jurors drawn for the
coming session are as follows:
Arlington, Sheldon f. Buck, Fred
Cole, Thomas Keough; Bennington,

OHIO PRIMARY IS
TO TAKE PLACE
TOMORROW
Both Candidates Claim a Major
ity Of Delegates
WILL BE HOT FIGHT
Impartial Review Indicates That
Chances Favor Taft as Ohio is
His Home State
WILL BE HOT FIGHT

Columbus, o., May 20.-All the
presidential candidates now in Ohio
rested yesterday after their strenu-
Gus week leading up to the primary
election tomorrow and the campaign
managers began a final. effort 10
instruct the voters how properly TO
mark their ballots. Both republican
and democratic ballots are large and
complicated. On the republican bal
lot there will be three sets of can
didates for delegates in each of the
y districts. These are pledged res
pectively TO President Taft, Col.
Roosevelt and Senator La Toilette.
The names of the presidential candi-
dates will not appear on the ballots.
The six delegates at large will be
named by the state convention in
this city in June.
Besides voting for delegates the
democratic voter will have a special
ballot on which the names Of Cover
nors Harmon and Wilson will APP
pear. The victorious candidate will
name the six delegates at large. Both
ballots are complicated by carrying
full county tickets, names of candi-
dates to county, judicial and state
conventions and congressional candi-
dates The socialists have COM
pete national and state ticket in the
field and expect to poll larger vote
than at any previous primary.
Special elections for bond issues
in many counties are also to be held
at the primary tomorrow and in a
few counties voters will be required
to mark three separate tickets. The
primary will open at $50 a. m, and
| close at $3.50 p. m, but on account
of the complicated nature of the bal
lot II is expected the returns will
be slow in coming to the county
| boards of election.
Although the interest aroused by
the campaign of the presidential
candidates of both parties has been
intense, 1t is not believed that an
extraordinary vote will be polled be-
cause the voters are required to
give their political utilization before
securing ballot and this. it is ar.
gued. with the complexlty Of the bal
lot In many counties, will tend to
keep voters from the polls.
Although leaders declared the cam
paign virtually completed Saturday
night President Taft and Col. Roose
welt will continue their speech max
ing today. President Taft, after his
Sunday in Cincinnati will visit mum
erous points winding up with a night
speech at Dayton after which ne will
return to Cincinnati Col. Roosevelt
will begin at Marietta and finish the
day at Dennison Gov Harmon Is
expected to deliver one more address
but has not yet announced at what
place.
The following is a conservative
estimate Of the standing Of delegates
so far elected:
