TRY TO BLAME
ENGINEER
Blamed for High Speed at the
CrOSSOver
INVESTIGATIONS STARTED
Witness at Inquest Says Engineer Took
Crossover at High Speed, and Dis
regarded Three Signals-Sev-
en- Dead in the Wreck.

Westport, Conn, Oct 5.-Testimony
tending to show that Engineer Clark OF
the Springfield express, wrecked here
Thursday night, ignored the signals set
against him and took crossing at a
high rate of speed was given at the cor
oner's inquest into the death of the
seven victims, yesterday afternoon.
BARLEY Gordon, foreman of section
gang, and Michael Coyle, towerman, tes-
titled. Gordon said when he heard the
express coming he realized its speed was
excessive and ran forward waving a flag
to attract the engineers attention.
The train did not slacken speed and
Gordon was forced to jump down an EN-
bankment TO save his life.
Coyle's testimony showed that three
separate signals were set against the
train to reduce speed, the first being
half mile from the tower, meanings
"Slow down. you may have to stop or
take switch"
The train, which was ~ minutes late,
was going from so to 60 miles an hour"
he said whereas he considered speed
of 35 miles an hour in taking a switch
was dangerous.
No more bodies were taken from the
wreck yesterday, and none of the in
jured is reported in critical condition.
The inquest will continue to-day.

Wilson and Roosevelt Clubs Formed a
University of Vermont.

Burlington, Oct 5.-The old conviction
on the part of many that practical affairs
never find their way into a college at
mosphere is all wrong so far as the uni
yersity of Vermont is concerned. The
campus is seething with the most active
phase OF politics nowadays; eloquent
platform speeches, profusion of litera-
ture, challenges, charges, eounter-charg-
es and the like. The Woodrow Wilson
club was organized Thursday evening in
the presence of thirty charter members.
C. \. Hitchcock 10 of Pittsford was
elected president; +. +. Severance of

with the "Old Vermont and Wilson three

elected officers of this club are r. NJ.

G.. Gibson of Bennington, vice president
and A. II. Davidson of Turner's Falls.

promptly challenged the Wilson club in

eagerly game" This event with condi-

Madison. Wis, Oct. Sin support Of
his claim that Col Roosevelt caused hin
to become presidential candidate
against President Taft when he believed
Taft could not be eliminated from the
race, and that when he believed there
was a chance to sidetrack the president
he threw La Toilette over and became
a candidate himself. the Wisconsin sen.
ator began publication yesterday of the
unwritten history of his recent cam
paign.
In La Follette's Magazine the senator
tells of visiting Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay, where the former president told
him he had arrived at no settled CON
yiction regarding the initiative and ref
erendum.
Roosevelt. La Toilette charges, had
always had 1912 in mind as the time TO
come back to the presidency, but when
he found that bitter opposition to Taft
was manifested, he began considering
means of entering the race.

that the management is certain that less
than half dozen of the tickets allotted

follows:
Undoubtedly there viii be the usual
fake tickets offered to the public at in.
creased prices. We are in a position
to prove whether the ticket was pur-
chased from the club, and the public is
warned not to purchase those offered.
The club will take decisive action as far
as it can against any man found guilty
of selling :or any price that is charged
against his name. Ticket specializing is

Danny Murphy are picked now as the

Maggert is also likely contender, but
the claim is made that he is not con.

tional and in others he is far below
par.
Now that Frank Chance has disposed
of his stock in the Chicago National
team, many are wondering how long
he will remain as manager. Fans think
that soon he will drop the Murphy men,
but Chance has discredited the rumor.
Wise persons in baseball declare that
he is contemplating leaving the Windy

ed to 10 per cent.

The Charms of Walking.

"In Europe, whole families 60 off for
tramps together; in England, every Sat
urday half holiday sees loaded trains of
walking parties starting out of London,
making for Epping forest, or Burnham
Beeches, for the hills of Surrey or the
river banks. Not to walk on holiday
is the exceptional thing. A club of peo-
pie meeting for regular walks finds it
possible to have delightful interchange
of conversation amid the pure joyous
ness of the open air and beautiful wood
lands This community of thought and
interest is, after all, the finest thing so
ciety has to give us."-Suburban Life

VERMONT CROP OUTLOOK.
Statement Made by State Commissioner
of Agriculture.

Plainfeld, Oct. 80. l.. Martin, com
missioner of agriculture, has introduce.
an innovation in Vermont in the shap,
of an official crop report. The mail
points follow:
Indian corn-Crop very late through,
out the state. Cold and wet weather
early in the season delayed the planting
From the first of August, however, fol
lowing rains late in July, the weather
has been more favorable and corn has
grown rapidly, the plants being tall and
luxuriant. If hard frosts should spare
us until late enough to allow the ears
to mature, the corn yield will be excel.
| lent
Hay-The reports are almost unani-
nous throughout the state that the hay
grown this season is OF the first quality,
and of more than usual abundance. 1t
is notable advance over last year.
Still there is no indication that there is
difference enough to have much effect on
the prices.
oats--Crop very uneven and a little
late.
Potatoes-While the early potato crop
has been fair it is nothing unusual. Late
potatoes, however, promise exceedingly
we'll.
Fruit-The plum crop is abundant and
excellent. Grand Isle county reports
apples as its most paying crop, and in
other sections, especially on the west
side of the mountains and in orchards
that have been properly sprayed. the ap-
pie crop is one of the first assets.

Following the potato bug, the most
troublesome pest has been the forest
worm. Next came the tent caterpillar
and the cattle flies. Indian corn is three
weeks late but improving. Nearly 80
per cent. OF the whole crop is for en-.

Aillet heads the forage crops; oats are
second, Hungarian next, and peas, corn
and billion dollar grass" are also raised.
Market garden prices are high but ex
cept for potatoes the year has been a
poor one. The late potatoes are excel
lent, but blight has appeared in seven
towns. Peaches are not grown, and
pears only in small quantities, but
plums are abundant and of fine quality. |
Several new apple orchards have been
set in East Montpelier, four acres in
