about q dozen of these little

Of age who should not be allowed
at q public gathering unless their

time" People who 20 to church

put up with these disturbing

from on board the Olympic in the
English channel last night everything
points to the probability that wireless
messages, tapped in transit in mid
Atlantic by amateur or unshlled OPP
orators at some unknown point and
then jumbled or wrongly read them,
were responsible for the false reports
of the Titanic's safety, which were
circulated throughout the world after
the Titanic had gone down.
Thus a question received on board
the Olympic, Are all Titanic passen-
gers safe?" was transformed into an
affirmative statement. "All Titanic
passengers safe" To this was added
just a fragment from long message
of the captain of the steamship Asian
to the Olympic, wherein he said,
Towing oil tank to Halifax" Omis-
sion OF the words "oil tank" from
this message and the combination of
the latter with the statement about
the passengers made the troublesome
dispatch:
"All Titanic passengers safe Tow

the proposed new 100000 union pas
senger station and the proposed clan-
ges in the local railroad yard were
exhibited yesterday in one of the
show windows OF the Brooks house

OF the proposed expense. The oiiic-
ials OF the railroad companies set
that figure at $4,000 with the oppor-
tunity open for the town to vote $751;
600 additional toward the providing
of a square OF 10000 square feet.
The plans include the abolition OF
the Bridge street crossing by means
of q I'LL from a point in front of the
Brattleboro house to the west abut
ment OF the proposed overpass, con
