LYING AND BRIBERY
interchange of Epithets Between Dix
on and Mckinley

The Taft and Roosevelt national
headquarters at Washington clashed
yesterday over the Maryland result.
The word ''lie" was freely used by
Senator Dixon, head of the Roosevelt
committee. Early in the day the
Taft headquarters put out state
ment on the Maryland gesults, part
of which follows: More than half OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's entire delegate vote
came from the city and county OF
Baltimore, where it is stated the
Roosevelt managers placed $4,000
among their workers at an early hour
yesterday"
Another part said, in Prince
George 'scounty, which definitely de-
cided the contest so far as present
returns indicate, Roosevelt money in
large amounts was poured into the
county. Large rolls OF small bills ac
companied by checks to be used II
needed. were sent from Washington
Sunday, at least one well known lead
err in the district having voluntarily
exhibited such roll in Washington
Sunday afternoon
This statement was duly delivered
in the Roosevelt headquarters abou
noon, the rival organizations having
an amicabe arrangement whereby
they exchange daily bulletins anC
statements. Here is Senator Dixoni
answer: Every one of these state
ments is deliberate wilful lie. Ever.
man connected with their concocuol
and circulation is a deliberate, wilfu
liar These lies are circulated TO
the purpose and for the only purpose
for which liars always lie"
President Tafts managers yesteI
day stated that the president is er
titled to and will receive the votes @
four of the delegates from the stat
of Maryland to the republican nation
al convention. The Taft manager
claim that the naming of soil
Roosevelt delegation by the state co
vention would defeat the espresso
preference of the electors of the tw
districts 1t is understood this poir
will be pressed, and the national con
mittee asked to rule upon 1t unles
four delegates are given TO the pre-
ident.

WHITE PERCH FOR
BENNINGT
co. PONDS
New Variety Of Fish Planted in
Local Waters
SHOULD PROVIDE GOOD SPORT
Large Consignment Of Fry Received
BY Bennington County Fish and
Game Club
,HOuLD PROVIDE GOOD SPORT

A consignment of white perch fry
was received here yesterday after
noon by members of the Bennington
County Fish and Game club from
Maryland and during the early eve
ming the tiny fish were taken to
Woodford and Pownal and placed in
Big pond and in Barber's pond.
The fry were so small that it was
almost impossible to see the little
fish with the naked eye. BY plac-
ing the large cans so that the light
struck the water from the right dir
rection it could be seen that the
receptacles were filed with thous-
ands of small white specks attached
to pairs of eyes about the size of
pin point. The messenger who ac-
companied the consignment stated
that once in his experience a man
who was sent lot of the fry looked
into the cans for his perch and de-
clared that he had been sent nothing
more than lot of fresh water. He
accordingly dumped the water out
on the railroad platform.
| White perch have been used ex-
| tensively in stocking the ponds and
streams of Massachusetts in which
it is impossible to grow trout and the
results have been so satisfactory
that the government is raising large
numbers of the fry. The fish grow
to much larger size than the com,
mon yellow perch and furnish good
sport for light rod fishing.
For years 1t has been impossible
to catch anything but small pickerel
and yellow perch in Big pond and
Barber's pond and the white perch
are being placed in these waters In
the hope that the fishing may be i'm
proved.
