The directors of the board of trade
held a special meeting last night at

en- are invited to be present and pre-
sent their views and offer sugges-
tons. A committee composed OF ID.
A Gultinan, w. II. Nichols and K. s.
Harris will represent the board of
trade at this meeting, but they wish

a public meeting and that full and
free expression of popular sentiment

ideas looking toward improvement in
the future, that can be brought about.
The board of trade last night also
took up several other matters. 1t was
voted to elect a committee to cooper
ate with the Troy board of trade in
an endeavor to secure the compile
ton of an improved permanent high
way from Bennington TO Troy. The
committee appointed is composed of
]. c. Colgate, Seymour Van SAINT
voord and Geo. b. Wellington.
This road is now practically all UNI
der construction or provided for. ex
cept about mile and quarter In
bennington and two miles in the
town of Hoosick. II is thought that
the Vermont end can be provided
for II the New York state authorities
will build the two miles in Hoosick.
The selectmen of Bennington were
petitioned to take action to secure il
possible. the out road to Pownal, as a
selected highway to share in the
state maintainence fund.
II was also voted to request the
merchants and householders TO dis

NED DONNElLY HERE
Member Of Cast Producing "Paid In
Full" Last Evening.

The play paid in Full" was pre-
scented at the local opera house last
evening by the Parke Stock company
of Pittsfield, Edward Donnelly for
merly of Bennington appearing in the
role OF Captain Williams.
Mr.. Donnelly carried his part very
creditably and made old Captain Will
liams, the man of brute strength and
contempt for conventions living be-
ing. Mr. Donuelly had the difficult
task Of protraying character whose
success was due 10 passionate brute
force. This characteristic was most
real as depicted by Mr. Donnelly. He
had the further ardurous task of por-
traying such man performing an
act OF real goodness. In other hands.
than those of an artist, the whole
play, depending upon this single in
cident would have become an I'M
convincing stage paradox. AS por-
trayed by Mr. Donnelly, however, 1t
is no contradiction of character,
when the power-loving captain readi-
ly sacrifices a small fortune from
deep-seated understanding of human
nature. No reform was worked in
the character of the captain and we
leave him being good merely as a sell
fish experiment.

ALLOW NE X|CAN
TROOPS NORTH
OF RIVER
On American Soil With Uncle
Sans Permission.
BUT MARCHED UNARM E D
Situation in Mexico Now Thought To
Be improving and Intervention
lis Not Needed.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Permission
given to move 1900 Mexican troops
through United States territory TO
attack the Mexican rebels in the
state of Sonora and the reported re-
pulse and retreat from the border OF
the rebel leader, Gen. Salazar and
his men, combined yesterday to
bring satisfaction to government Of
ficials of the state department. The
permission to move troops was
granted Mexico without hesitation,
and everything will be done to in
sure the careful transportation of
the federals.
While a certain amount of unrest
will exist on the international boun-
dairy line as long as the trouble in
Mexico continues, officials at Wash
ington are deeply gratified that the
scene Of hostilities apparently Is be-
ing removed from the border. With
a considerable force of federals al
ready garrisoning strategic towns in
Sonora, it is expected that the 1900
additional men will be sufficient eth
er to subdue the malcontents or force
them further south. The Mexican
troops will be entrained at Ell Paso,
Tex, and be transported to Nogales,
Ariz. Their arms and ammunition
will be carefully sealed in express
cars so the soldiers will go through
American territory unarmed. In ad-
dition they will be guarded by de-
tachment of United States regulars.
The date for the movement has not
been set
The defeat of Gen. Salazar by the
federals in Ojinaga was learned at
Washington with satisfaction. His
presence on the border has been a
menace to the continuance of peace
relations with the Mexican people
because of his raids into American
territory In the battle resulting
from the attack of the rebels the fed
eral forces occupying the city lost
four men killed, and a number of
horses. The loss sustained by the
rebel forces. if any, was not ascer-
tained. The mayor of Ojinaga
crossed the river after the skirmish
and reported to Capt. Adams in
charge of the American patrol that
the federal force was thoroughly
loyal and was capable of holding the
town against the further rebel at
tacks.

GAYNoR WOULDN'T ANSWER
Mayor Shows Resentment But Gives
No Information.

New York, Sept. 11.-For more
| than two hours yesterday afternoon
| Mayor William j. Gaynor sat in 6
witness chair at the New York city
hall and parted with picturesque
| retort and evasion the attempts Of
| counsel for an aldermanic commit
| tee to learn his views on the police
situation brought to crisis by the
murder of the gambler Herman Ros
enthal. Three times he threatened
to leave the stand because he con
sidered the questions irrelevant
twice he denounced the hearing as a
scandalmongering excursion. and of
ten throughout his testimony he re
peated that attempts to ''scandalize
him would be in vain, for he said he
had lived in the city too long and
had begun his efforts to purify gov.
eminent long before Emory r. Buck
ner, counsel for the committee. was
born.
At no time during his examination
would he admit that the police de-
partment was inefficient. He ex-
pressed renewed confidence in Rhi-
nelander Waldo, commissioner of
police and declared that if the social
evil fourished it was at least on the
decrease and was a lesser evil than
police blackmail. which he had tried
to eradicate. By way of a counter
investigation of the committee.
whose chairman, Alderman William
III. Curran, he denounced Monday,
the mayor before taking the stand
set on foot an investigation of re-
ports that the committee had accept
ed high instead of low bid for its
stenographic work.
Nine out of every 10 questions ask
ed by Mr. Buckner remained unan-
swered. The mayor had formed no
opinions, he said, and had not come
to tell his opinions anyway. If he
were asked about facts or about any
instances wherein the police depart
ment had violated the law, he was
ready to answer. In the absence of
such questions he said he would
leave the chair.
Four things, he said, he had
brought about in the department:
First he had done away with police
violence and clubbing; second, he
had forbidden the practice of police
men degrading themselves to get evi
dence against disorderly houses by
consorting with immoral women;
third, he had insisted on the integri-
ty of the civil service so that "Mur-
ply or anybody else can't influence
appointments; fourth, he had done
away with graft in connection with
the enforcement of the liquor laws.
This graft, he said, had amounted to
100000 annually.
Though the mayor lost his temper
time and again and protested to Mr..
Buckner that he was asking foolish
questions, the young lawyer kept at
his task patiently unruffied by the re-
Bluffs. The crowd, which jammed the
aldermanic chamber until standing
room only remained, frequently
broke into applause at the mayors
retorts, and Chairman Curran raped
repeatedly for order
Il hope you do not think am try
ing to badger you, Mr.. Mayor" re-
marked Mr.. Buckner "Oh, have
to make allowances for your zeal and
everything" replied the mayor la
conically. Il was young once my
self"

SOCIALIST LUNN TO RUN.
Meeting Forces Him to Stay in Race
for Congress.

Schenectady, N. Y, Sept. 1O.-Af-
ter one of the stormiest meetings that
has been held by the socialists since
they came into power in this city,
Mayor George r. Lunn was this even
ing forced by the meeting to with
draw his resignation as the party's
choice for Congress from the 30th
district.
Mayor Lunn will stand for nomina-
ton at the primaries. Bitter passa-
ges of personalities, in which it was
intimated that those favoring Lunn's
withdrawal were moved by personal
ambitions, while those who favored
his remaining in the race were like
wise actuated by personal motives in
another direction.

ANOTHER MoToRpomE VICTIM
Grand Inquest to be Held on the Sun
day Tragedy at Newark.

New York, Sept 1.-THE eighth
oeath as a result of Eddie Hasha's
ride into a crowd of spectators at the
motorcycle races at Newark, N. j.,
last Sunday occurred last night. The
additional victim was Charles +. VIII
liams, 26 years old of Newark, who
died at the city hospital from a frac-
tured skull. Chief Justice GUNNER
of the supreme court decided last
night that with eight dead and four
still in the hospital in a critical condi
ton there should be a grand inquest.
When the new grand jury convenes
Tuesday the chief justice will charge
IL with an INJURY. An autopsy per
formed yesterday by County Physi-
clan Mckenzie on the body OF Hasha
showed that death was due to a frac-
tured skull and internal injuries.
There was nothing to support the
statement of a doctor who had at
tended Hasha that he was stricken
with paralysis while riding.

 Further, l wish to say, the Coun- cil has worked and is still working very hard and faithfully from in- dividual and collective view points for the best interests of the people of NogaIes, in some cases at serious loss of valuable time and neglect of personal interests, for nearly two years, and without pay except, "to be pointed at with scorn," or something of that kind, but it is impossible to please all where opinions so seriously differ, there fore the only thing to be done is the best you know how, and to keep eOjthjn the lo,O, and that is going to be done.

EL PAso has started upon great lumber and paper manufacturing industry. The Pearson interests in Chihuahua are erecting on the American side of the Rio Grande, a great sawmill and wood working factory, to cost $600,0OO, and that will be followed by a great paper mill-the raw material for both to come from the Sierra Madre for ests. It is to be hoped that the new enterprises will cheapen in this region the commodities they will manufacture.
