the polls opening at G o'clock this morn

5 O'Clock in the afternoon. During the
earlier part of that time, there was moth

months of discussion, during which four
of the presidential candidates had been
visitors to Barre, was about to be decided

But in spite of that appearance of ip.

ing at the polls before Z o'clock For
instance, in the second ward 81 votes
were cast before o'clock, the number
being larger than at the same hour on
the September state election and the
municipal election last March. In the
third ward also. there was unusual early
hour voting. This condition was due
to the fact that many workers in the
granite plants stopped on the way to
their places of employment and voted.
During the remainder of the forenoon,
the ward clerks had a rather monotonous
time waiting for the voters, but at noon
the voters came in larger numbers.
The city's total registration in the six
wards to-day was 2,l4l, which was 27

TAFT AT CINCINNATI.
He Will Remain There Until Wednesday
Afternoon.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. president
Taft arrived in Cincinnati shortly before
eight o'clock last night after l2hour
ride across Ohio, during which he ap-
peared on the rear platform of his pri-
vate car to speak TO station crowds more
than a dozen times.
He was driven Immediately to the
home of his brother, G.. p. Taft. where
he will stop until Wednesday afternoon.
One of the largest crowds of the day
greeted him at the station here and to
the blare of brass band the cheers of
his fellow citizens and in a glory of red
fire he was driven to his brothers home.
Although he spoke during the day to
thousands of Ohians, the president re-
Trained from talking politics. He had
many word to say about prosperity.
He remembered the proposed farmers
banks and the duty OF every citizen to
exercise his suffrage, but he avoided any
personal plea and asked the support of
no one. He came nearest to politics at
Columbus where good sized crowd was
waiting at the station to catch glimpse
OF Ohio's most distinguished citizen.
As the president started to speak the
engineer in nearby locomotive car
blew his whistle.
THAT must be bull moose whistle"
shouted a bystander.

a smile, "it makes enough noise
A moment later the president started
his speech.

DEFECTIVE STovEPIPE.
Cause of Fire Burning House of Frank
Halnon at Center Cornwall

Middlebury, Nov. 5.-The fine house
in Center Cornwall. occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Halnon and hts mother. the
widow Of the late John Halnon. was
burned to the ground with most Of its
contents Sunday morning. The fire
caught from defective stovepipe in the
upper story and although the nearest
neighhors gathered around as soon as
possible they were unable to do any
thing TO save the building in a couple
of hours il was in ruins. Some Of the
household furniture was saved, but the
farm produce in the cellar is a total loss,
including potatoes and vegetables. The
hous was probably worth - 500 and it is
understood that there was only small
insurance. One OF the barns at a short
distance from the house caught fire three
times but the neighbors succeeded in
putting out the fire without much dam
age.

MENACE OF COAL FAMINE.
And Shortage of Freight Cars Cause
Warning to Be Issued.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 5.--Shortage
of freight cars, the menace of coal
famine and industrial paralysis in some
parts of the country has become so Sc
rious that the interstate commerce COM
mission has proposed to shippers and
railroads drastic recommendations for
its relief, with thinly veiled intimation
that should they fail to remedy the sit
uation the commission would find a way
to do so.
"The condition is acute" declared
Commissioner Franklin l.. Lane, who for
several weeks has been conducting an
inquiry.
"Great institutions of the country are
practically out of fuel and cannot get il
because there are no ears for its trans
portation. If an immediate remedy is
not found, people in parts Of this coun-
try will be freezing to death because of
their inability to get coal"
The car shortage is said to have been
found to be due in part to delay in un-
loading cars, the slow movement of
freight cars and failure of railroads to
return cars to the lines owning them.

MAKING LAST STAND
BEFORE C0NSTANTIN0PLE
Defeated Turkish Army Reforming at
atalja--Adrianople Is Daily
Expected to Fall.

London. Nov 5.--The prospect that
considerable portion of the defeated
Turkish army will be able to reform
behind the lines of Tchatalja, the last
fortifcations before Constantinople, is
not altogether excluded, but whether the
Turks will be able to maintain there
any serious resistance to the Bulgarian
advance is a question which permits a
doubt.
In the struggle with the allies, the
Turks lost more than half their artil-
lery. This will certainly initiate against
any prolonged stand at Tchatalja.
In q circular note to the Turkish am
bassadors abroad, the Turkish govern
ment maintains that, although embar-
RAISING. the position of affairs is not
desperate and declares that when the al
lies had completed their mobilization
Turkey had barely begun hers. The note
insists that Turkey is still able to main
tain prolonged warfare.
Up to the present hour. there is no sign
that anything has come of the Porte's
appeal to the powers for mediation. No
replies have been received Mt CONSTANT
nople and there Is little doubt that when
they are received they viii embody a
declination to consider the idea of pro-
posing an armistice.
Although fighting is still proceeding on
the Tchorlu-Serai line, the official an
nouncement from Constantinople that
the Turks are withdrawing to the Tchat-
ALA line of forts is not to be doubted,
and it is evident that this fighting is
merely an extensive rear guard action
to cover the movement of the Turks
toward Constantinople.
The fall of Adrianople is expected
daily. The occupation of Suk, on the
railway between Saloniki and Kuler
Burgas, is the last link of the chain
wholly cutting off the Turkish armies
which have been fighting the great bat
ties in the east from the scattered forces
in the heart of the country and to the
west.
Comparative order is still being main
tanned in Constantinople and Saloniki. |
In Constantinople already the govern
ment is seizing great supplies for the
army and the likelihood of famine prices
for food will add to the governments
difficulties. The anxiety has been partly
relieved by the arrival of European war
ships.
1t is considered not unlikely that the |
fear of serious outbreaks in CONSTANT |
nople may influence the powers to use
diplomatic pressure to bring about peace
at the earliest moment.

to Take Over Four Barre and Mont
pelier Electric and Traction
Companies.

The persistent rumors of the purchase
of the three electric light and power
companies and the Barre & Montpelier
Traction company by outside interests
are borne out in large part by the fol
lowing statement in the Boston News
bureau, the financial newspaper. in its
issue of to-day, the statement being
dated from Boston
Charles H. Tenney & Co., of this city,
are understood to be perfecting merger
of the electric light and power and trac-
tion companies centering in Montpelier,
Vt.
"As proposed. the new company will
be capitalized for 81 100000 preferred
and SI,000,000 common stock.
"There are $4,000 bonds outstand-
ing against the companies. which the
Tenney syndicate proposes to take over.
"These companies are the Vermont
Power Light Co., and the Consolidated

trolled by the same interests Cory,

MOST SERIOUS IN YEARS
Was the Fire Which Hit Springfield
Yesterday.

Springfield, Nov. 5.-The most seriou:
| fire in town in years occurred early yes.
terday morning, when practically the
| entire plant of Gilman & Son, Inc, man.
ufacturers of last and gunstock lathes
and other wood working machinery AT
! % River street, was destroyed.
The alarm was rung in at 4:45 o'clock,
and at 6 o'clock, by the most strenuous
efforts, the fremen had the fire practi-
cally under control. 1t was more than
an hour later, however, before the safe
ty of the adjoining office building on the
north was assured.
The burned building was large three
story wooden structure with basement,
built over the bank of the Black river,
and as the floors were oil-soaked and
the fire broke out near the center of
the structure on the river side, the fire.
men were seriously handicapped.
The books, valuable papers and office
furniture were removed to the nearby
residence of the principal proprietor,
Walter w. Slack
The origin OF the fire is unknown, but
a fire was started in the hot water heat
er in the basement about 10 O'clock on
Sunday night and left without further
inspection. and the location of the blaze
would indicate that its source was this
heater.
The total loss is roughly estimated
at $4,000. The plant was insured for
$4,000. Between 40 and 80 men were
employed a short time ago, but not quite
so many had been recently on the pay
roll.
At a meeting of manufacturers Mon
day morning, it was decided to offer
the company every possible facility for
going ahead with its orders by loans
of machines, assembling space, etc. and
it was suggested that a vacant factory
building might be utilized.

Pasha, commanding the right was com.
PEELED to sacrifice the advantage gained
because his troops We're without food
the whole day.
1t is asserted that the Sultan himself
was deceived by Nazm Pasha's optimis-
tic reports and only realized the true sit
uation when an English cruiser brought
the latest news. The Porte then asked
the powers to intervene.
The difficulty in maintaining order is
increasing daily. II is said that a mob
went TO the war Office at Stamboul and
asked for weapons with which TO attack
the Christians, and this was the reason
why Kiamil Pasha asked the ambassa-
doris to have warships at hand.
