CHANGES AT PUTNAM HOUSE
Office VIII Be Enlarged by the Re
moval Of the Bar Room.

Work was begun this morning at
the Putnam house on the contemplate
ed change which will be made by
Landlord P. C. Cornell in anticipation
OF the summer travel. 1t is under
stood that the barroom is to be NOV
ed from its present quarters to the
room toward the south and which
was last regularly occupied by K. E.
Bottom as grocery store. The
room at present used as barroom
will be added to the office and will be
used as a writing room for the com
mercial men and other guests.
The contemplated changes will
constitute a great improvement. The
increase OF business during the past
few years has resulted in crowding
OF the office to the extent of positive
inconvenience. The removal of the
bar from its close proximity to the
office will also be appreciated by
many patrons of the house.
Some extra bathrooms are being
installed on the second floor of the
house and other repairs are being
made to put the house in better con,
dition for summer business.

president of the Vermont w. r. c.,
was in Hardwick on February 2Sth
as one of the speakers at the dedica-

ned the memorial, those who built
it and to those under. whose care it
has been brought to completion.

ton said: "These memorial buildings,
these soldiers monuments in cities

year and the work begun by the w.

pendent ones. To honor the living

REMAINS
New York Primaries Over.
whelming For Taft
SO FOR TAFT 7 FOR 7. R.
Machine Plan For Carrying out the
Organization Slate Went Through
Without a Failure

New York, March 27-Col. Roose-
welt met one of the most decisive de
feats in his career last night as a
result of the first test of the new
primary law in the state. In every
congressional district in the greater
city, where he made a fight his dele
gates were showed completely under.
AS a result of the vote, New York
state will send practically solid
Taft delegation to the Chicago Nat
ional convention Out of the niTciyI
delegates Roosevelt will have only
seven. The Republican organization
in New York county elected every one
of its delegates, the vote being more
than to / against Roosevelt. Pres
ldent Taft got 29,4O2 votes, to Roose-
velt's 1903.
The election was one Of the most
remarkable ever seen at primary
in this city. The voting machinery
almost broken down, for the ballots
we're not distributed to many of The
polling places until hours after The
polls had opened
Hundreds of voters who had waited
patiently for hours went away dis
gusted and did not vote at all in
some of the election districts the bal
| lots and registry blanks were not &c
liyered at the polling places until
within an hour OF the time of closing
the polls, o'clock
President Britt OF the Board Of
Elections explained that the delay IN
distributing ballots was due to the
fact that litigation held them up until
the last minute and the printers did
not have time to get them ready. In
Brooklyn and Queens the delay in
distributing the ballots was even
worse than in Manhattan.
In Brooklyn the Roosevelt people
tried to get Gov. Dix on the long dis
lance telephone to protest the work
ing out of the primary law and tC
have him order another primary eiec
ton. Even leaders of the Republi
can organization admitted that the
new law was in many respects {
failure.
The only delegate the colonel vii
have to the Chicago convention from
the city is Controller William Prem
dergast, who was the candidate Of
the regular Republican organization
ticket in Brooklyn, and who announC
ed that he would vote for the colonel
In Westchester county, the four dele
gates put forward by William L
Ward were elected, of course, ant
they will vote for the colonel.
The colonel carried only one as
sembly district in Manhattan, tn
eighth assembly district, which is
= part of the eleventh, twelfth and thii
teenth congressional districts Hi
vote there was 1888 to 1926 for Taft,
Not only did the Taft organization
elect all of its delegates, but 1t cal
ried through every candidate 70

er. Not a crumb of comfort was LEI

PRoeREssIvEs FOR WILSON
Executive Committee Asks Him to
Appoint Delegates

The executive committee of the
Ohio progressive democratic league
at Columbus yesterday voted to sup
port the candidacy for the presiden-
tial nomination of Gov. Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey at the state
wide democratic primary May 81.
Resolutions adopted, however, leave
loophole for other candidates in a
clause that requests Gov. Wilson in
naming the six delegates at large
from Ohio to select such men as will
support his candidacy as long as he
is a potentiality and who in no event
will vote for a reactionary candidate.
The league maintained its former
policy of not mentioning Gov. Har-
mon by name, referring to "the only
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation from Ohio" as a pronounced
reactionary who refused to vote the
democratic ticket in 1896" and gave
the ticket his active support only in
those years in which he was a can
didate. The circulation OF petitions
to secure the 5000 signatures re
quired in order to assure the name OF
Gov. Wilson being on the ballot was
begun at once.

81 MINERS PERISH
WITHOUT EVEN A
WARNING
Gas Explosion in West Virginia
Coal Mine
FEW BODIES RECOVERED
Cause of Accident Said to Be Un-

Welch, West Va, March 81
Eighty-two men were killed yester-
day by a gas explosion in the Jed

WEIGH Only eleven men escaped
alive and one of those died within
an hour after being brought to the
surface Last night thirty-three bod
les had been located and the rescu-
ers hoped to have them out soon. Ex-
ploring parties had covered all of the
mine by three o'clock this morning
and expect to have all the bodies out
by noon. When the explosion took
place probably only the eleven men
working at the foot of the shaft had
a chance for their lives They read
lily made their way up in the cages,
which were not damaged. Though
some of the blades of the fans were
shattered, they continued to operate,
with the fortunate result that enough
air was present to admit searching
parties Immediately.
Less than nalf an hour after the
news of the explosion had been com
municated to WEIGH, relief measures
were in order. Oxygen helmets and
other appliances were rushed from
the plant of the United States coal
and coke company and a government
mine rescue car was dispatched TO
the mine. On arriving the experts
Immediately conceded that all in the
mine were dead. state mine inspec-
tors promptly organized rescue par
ties and began the exploration of lev
els. AS the gases were cleared out
and they began searches OF the low
er levels, they Immediately began TO
come upon miners killed almost in
stantly Other mines near by sent
experienced foremen to lead hun
dreds of volunteer rescuers, who
flocked to the scene as the news
spread about the countryside
The usual scenes of horror and
grief which attend mine disasters
were lacking yesterday. No families
of the miners crowded about the
mouth of the shaft. Women have
kept within their homes, overcome
with grief and distraction. The mine
was inspected last Friday and pro
nounced safe. Preliminary investiga
tons yesterday have not divulged the
cause of the explosion. Some loca
mine men are inclined to regard 1t as
physical phenomenon. Barome
ters in the vicinity have been show

pheric changes. The families of III,
dead men find themselves in sor'
straits, as work has been very slacl

INCREASE WAGES
ON AN AVERAGE
OF 8 PER CENT
Advance Of Pay to Employees Of
Holden, Leonard Company
WITHOUT SOLICITATION
In Accordance With
Recent Policy Of New England
Wooden Manufacturers

An increase OF wages, which will
average per cent throughout the
working force, has been announced
at the wooden mill in this village
owned and operated by the Holden
Leonard company. The increase was
made without solicitation on the part
of the employees. While the advance
in wages will average per cent
there are individual cases in which
1t will exceed that rate.
The advance is undoubtedly made
by the company to conform with the
policy of other wooden manufacturers
in New England who have recently
granted increases of pay. Inasmuch
as other companies had seen fit to
raise wages the Holden, Leonard Co.
was placed In such position, In its
relation to the trade, that the In
crease, which has just. been made
here was possible.
The advance went into effect so
that it will apply to the wages of the
present week.

the Hotel WlnGham were destroyed

Ottawa, Ont, March 26.-Dr j.

army and navy veterans when the
Duke and Duchess visited Toronto
recently.
The Duke remarked to an officer
that the man had a remarkable mum.
