CHARGE DROPPED
After Hearing Had Been Given Timothy
Casey and John E. Mcmahon, Who Were
Accused by Joseph Brunelle--Judge Ad-
yised Arrest of All for Intoxication.

Timothy Casey and John f. Mcmahon
held ON charges of grand larceny, were
discharged by Judge H. w. Scott in
city court this forenoon after hearing
in which several witnesses were placed
on the stand The arrest of the two
men followed an alleged robbery com
mitted upon the person of Joseph Bru-
nellie, also Of Montpelier, in box car
at North Barre Monday afternoon. Aft
er being discharged by the Judge, re-
spondents and the third principal, Bru-
nellie, were held on intoxication charges,
and it is understood that prosecution
proceedings will be brought against GER
tain persons for selling as result of
the hearing.
Grand Juror Hugh II. Carpenter con-
Quoted the prosecution and Earl r. Da-
Wis appeared for the accused men. Bru-
nellie was placed on the stand during
the hearing and he told of falling in
with the men at the Central Vermont
station Monday afternoon. The com
pany made merry in a box car for a
time and later visited houses on River,
Foster and Berlin streets. 1t was from
NAlt IdIAtl HNitHls dNAttAlllR W III hlttits
that the two men led him away to a
box car where. as he asserted, they
knocked him down and went through
his clothing. Brunelle alleged that his
discontinue at being bowled over was
augmented when the pair relieved him
of the ten-dollar bill
Casey and Mcmahon admitted the
events at the station, described the cele-
bration in the box car and told of visit
ing the three streets mentioned by Bru-
nellie. As for the North Box box car
the enticement of Brunelle and the rob
berry, it was joke. They were only
removing the complainant to a place
beyond the vigilant eve of the officers
when they loaded him into the box
car. Both denied stoutly that the mar
was struck. pushed or kicked. They
said he fell to the floor and was APP
parently asleep when they returned to
Berlin street. Other witnesses were
Ralph Loveioy, time keeper for the
New England Telephone Co, by which
Casey had been employed. Off
Ger John. Dineen and Chief of Police
In discharging the men, Judge Scott
said that the state lacked sufficient
evidence to hold the men for appearance
in county court. He advised arresting
all three, however, on intoxication
charges, and warrants were according
made out by Grand Juror Carpenter.
It is understood that Casey and Me
Mahon have been convicted Of prior in

Taft and Roosevelt Opened Their
Campaign There Today
PRIMARIES NEXT TUESDAY
They Began In That State With the
Exact Result in the Ohio Primaries
Unsettled Although Roosevelt is
Leading in Preference Vote.

Newark, n. j., May 23.-The exact
result of the Ohio primaries of Tuesday
was unsettled when President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt moved on to New
Jersey to-day for the next state cam
paign for delegates to the Republican
national convention. Colonel Roosevelt
came into the state this morning, and
President Taft viii open his campaign
at Camden tonight.
A large part OF the campaigning by
the two candidates will be by automo-
bile. Both Taft and Roosevelt will spend
several nights in New York, setting out
each morning to cover the thickly popu.
lated parts of the state within the com
muting zone from New York. The pri-
maries viii be held next Tuesday. New
Jersey has 2S votes in the national con-
vention
Columbus o., May 23.--According to
returns from approximately 44500 Of
the 5l92 precincts in the state, Col.
Theodore Roosevelt's delegates to the
national Republican convention carried
Tuesdays Ohio primaries by a plurality
of about $4,000 votes. 1t now seems
scarcely possible that final results from
the primary will change the number Of
district delegates for either side by more
than one or two. The best figures
available show that Roosevelt has thr-
ty-two district delegates selected and
that President Taft has ten.
Although later returns ON the Demo.
cratic presidential primary vote give
Woodrow Wilson a fighting chance for
one or two more delegates. the New
Jersey governors exact standing will
not be known for several days.
However, Governor Harmon is prac-
tieally assured of complete delegation
Of forty-eight delegates to the Balti-
more convention His lead now gives
him control Of the state Democratic
convention which will select sis dele
yates at large Also il is said that the
convention will provide for the unit rule,
which will force the Wilson delegates,
selected by districts, yesterday, to vote
ior the Ohio executive.

SPOKE OF SUCCESS"
Frank L. Greene of st. Albans Aroused
Enthusiasm at Bennington.

Bennington, May 23.-Col. Frank L.
Greene of st. Albans was the guest of
honor last evening at the annual dinner
Of the Y. NJ. c. A, when about 100
guests were present. Much enthusiasm
was aroused by Colonel Greene's re-
marks. His theme was success and he
deplored the kind that is spelled with
an S with two straight lines drawn
down through.
''The world thinks more of good
shoemaker who can make soles last this
life than a misft minister who guaran
tees to save souls for the hereafter" !"
he said. The world thinks more of
first-class carpenter who can draw
line across and keep his saw ON it,
than of cheap doctor who goes into
the sick room, feels the pulse and scares
one into fits because he can cure fit.
The world thinks more of a frst-class
stonemason, who can drop his line and
fill the wall plumb to it than of the
cheap newspaperman who everytime he
drops a line dips his pen in mud

Bodies of Two Men Who Were Asphyxi-
ated on Way to Barre.

Later dispatches concerning the death
of John Nieora, who was asphyxiated
shortly after landing at New York on
his way from Italy to Barre, were re-
ceived in this city last night. 1t was
learned that Mr.. Nicora, who came to
America for the first time, was accom-
panied by f. Perusei, former resident
of Barre, who was returning to this
country. after an absence of several
years. Details as to the manner of as
phyxiation are not at hand. Louis Nj
cora of Seminary street, brother of
the deceased Nicora, left for New York
last night. Ambrose Banehi, who came
to New York with Perusei and Nicora,
arrived in Barre last night. He states
that his two comrades were coming to
this city over the New York Central
lines, while he chose to make the trip by
way of Springfield, Mass.
According to his story, the two men
bade him farewell as he left for the
station and said they We're to leave
shortly for Barre themselves. 1t is un-
derstood that they were quartered in al
hotel not far from Castle Garden. Nj
cora was 3S years old and leaves wife
and three children in Italy. Their depar-
ture for America was to take place
when Mr. Nicora secured steady employ
ment in Barre. Perusei although wen

BOY BETTER IN MATHEMATICS.
But Girl is More Faithful in Study Of
II

The relative mathematical abilities
of boys and girls and of the white race
as compared with the black race are
among the subjects taken up in mono
graph just issued for free distribution
by the United States Bureau of Educa-
tion. The monograph is entitled "Math-
ematics in the Public and Private Sec
ondary Schools of the United States,
and considers the ability of the boys and
girls as shown only in the type of school
indicated by the title.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that the average boy shows more abili-
ty in mathematics than the average
girl, but also that he does not work
so faithfully" says the monograph I'm
mixed class this greater ability of the
boy and the greater faithfulness of the
girl react most adyantageously on each
other.
Another fact that is noted is this:
In elementary algebra the girl does
as good work as the boy; in geometry
not nearly so good. In advanced alge-
bra and trigonometry, the boy shows an
ability which is far ahead of the girl.
Yet, we are free to confess that his
greater natural ability is often outclass-
ed by the steady, patient endeavor of
the girl. Perhaps it would be safer
to say that the girl does not show as
great an ability as the boy, even though
she may have it.
"In regard to the relative tendency
of boys and girls to choose elective
courses in mathematics the answer to
a QUESTIONABLE indicates that boys are
much more inclined to elect such courses
than girls are"
In Investigating the relative mathema-
teal ability of the colored race, a ques-
tionaire was sent to eleven well-known
negro schools and colleges in the South.
"The general feeling in the institutions
covered by this report" says the govern
ment monograph, SIS that the difference
between the races in the matter of
mathematics, in so far as any differ
ences exist, are due to conditions rath-
er than to race characteristics.
Five of the schools feel that there
is no differences due to race Two are
of the opinion that colored students
generally are not the equals of white
students. One school was not able to
make any comparison. Three did not
reply to the question regarding a com
parison of the races. Replies were made
by both white and colored teachers who
have had years OF experience in eolored
schools and in some cases in white
schools.

An appeal for the proposed new build
ing is made in the following:
This is critical time in the history
of Goddard seminary. 1t is the general
idea that our school is rich. She is rich
in friends, and she needs the help OF
these friends at the present time. She
needs more room and she needs money
to make this room possible. The found
ers of Goddard were farsighted enough
to make it impossible to use for the
running expenses any donations that
should come to the school. All such
money has to go into the permanent
fund. This is the reason
why we have to raise money 10 make
additional improvements or to provide
more room. The proposed new building
means this: Is Goddard going TO grow or
il she going to drop behind and allow
the other schools of her class in the state
to advance ahead of her? Her equip
ment at the present time capnot accom-
modate her pupils. Glasses have to meet
Ia the library and in the teachers rooms
We have to refuse students in the bus
ness courses because I'VE have no desk
-oom for them. This project, the new
building, ought to be dear to everyone of
.he alumni of Goddard seminary"

DECISIVE BATTLE =
is BEING FOUGHT

the Mexican Federal Troops Seemed
to Have Upper Hand.

tween the Mexican rebel and federal
armies was renewed at daybreak TO-

engagement against the insurrectos with
sharp artillery fire, and there was quick
response from the rebels, who were ap-
parently well fortified. The battle is
expected to mark the turning point in
the rebellion.
When night interrupted Yesterdays
combat, it appeared that the rebels were
slowly disorganized by the fierce fire
from the federal front. At this morn
ing the rebels were holding their own,
but the federal artillery fire was grow.
ing heavier.
