eral Party met and decided to sup.
port Gomez in HIS contest with the
Veterans.
The Information in possession of
the State Department goes consider
ably further than was indicated by
the statement. 1t is not merely the
defiance by the officers of the army
and rural guard of President Gomez
decree that constitutes the serious
ness of the situation. 1t is the added
fact that the Veterans have demand
ed that that decree be treated as a
dead letter, and have threatened. in
case 1t is not agreed to by President
Gomez, ito make the last resort. 4"
The last resort in Cuba is always a
revolutionary appeal to arms, and
this Government will not stand by
and permit such performance.
AT the State Department this after
noon considerable emphasis was laid
upon the fact that this Government
was extremely anxious to avoid the
necessity for third Intervention.
There has been much talk since the
second Intervention to the effect that
in case the United States goes into
Cuba again it will be for good. 1t
may be said authoritatiyely that such
is not the Administration view of in
tention. But the fear that something
might occur in Cuba, which would
necessitate a third Intervention has
caused the Government to keep an
especially close watch on Cuban af-
fairs.

WILSON ASKED COL
HARVEY TO TAKE
NAME OFF
Harper's Weekly Support Was
Injuring Governor
NO BREAK BETWEEN THEM
Western Democrats Prejudlced by
Wilson's Too Close Friendship
With Harvey.
NO BREAK BETWEEN THEM

New York, Jan. 17.-Col. George
Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly,
made an official explanation yester-
day OF the reason why the name of
Gov. Woodrow Wilson, his longtime
friend, was taken down from the
head of the, editorial columns of the
Weekly, where it has long stood as
an indication that both Mr.. Harvey
and his publication were in favor of
the candidacy of Gov. Wilson for the
Presidency. Mr.. Harvey frankly adj
mits that Gov. Wilson asked that his
name be eliminated from Harper's
Weekly's mast head, because its sup
port was affecting the Governors
candidacy injuriously. This is the
editorial announcement which will
appear in this weeks number of Har-
per's Weekly:
To Our Readers.
1--WE make the following reply to
many inquiries from readers of Har-
per's Weekly:
"The name of Woodrow Wilson as
our candidate for President was TAX
en- down from the head OF these CO.
lumns in response to a statement
made to us directly by Gov. Wilson
to the effect that our support was af-
fecting his candidacy injuriously.
The only course left open to us,
in simple fairness to Mr. Wilson no
less than in consideration of our own
self-respect, was to cease to advocate
his nomination.
I'VE make this explanation with
great reluctance and deepest regret.
But we cannot escape the conclusion
that the very considerable number OF
our readers, who have co-operated
earnestly and Loyalty in advancing a
movement which was inaugurated
solely in the hope OF rendering a high
public service, are clearly entitled to
this information"
Both Gov. Wilson and Col Harvey
declined to he interviewed last night.
More than ordinary interest at
taches to the matter because Col.
Harvey is the original Wilson boomer
and for more than five years has
steadily advocated Wilson for presi-
dent both through Harper's Weekly
and in other ways.
There is no reason to believe that
there is any personal break between
the two men or that the situation is
other than has been stated. Harper's
Weekly has been a Democratic organ
but has always stood by the Morgan
Ryan Wall street branch of the Dem
ocratic party and it has always been
know that Col. Harvey and j. Pier
pont Morgan are close personal
friends.
Under these conditions 1t is not
strange that Harper's Weekly spon-
sorship and advocacy hurt Wilson
among the Bryan Democrats OF the
west and also among the independent
Republicans. II is hardly to be con-
sidered strange that Gov. Wilson
wanted his name taken from the
head Of the editorial column of Har'
per's Weekly.

MUST HAVE A LEAGUE
North Adams Opinion Of the Local
Base Ball Situation.

North Adams Opinion Of the Local
Base Ball Situation.
There is an old saying that zone
must go away from home to hear the
news" and the following dissertation
upon the baseball situation in Ben
nington, which appeared in Tuesday
evenings North Adams Transcript,
will strike the local fans as being a
fairly close description of existing
conditions:
"The baseball fans at Bennington
are wondering II the village will be
represented by a nine this spring
The directors OF the club have not
reached any definite decision as yet
but the general opinion seems to be
that the. team depends on whether OF
not a league is organized. Without
special series of this sort with a
few rival clubs it is not believed that
the village will support a nine and
the baseball promoters Of the town
are anxiously waiting to see what
steps will be taken in this city and
Pittsfield.
"The club finished the season a
year ago with deficit but this
amount can easily be cleared up
There are a number Of fond lovers OF
the game in Bennington who not on
ly have been willing to make up for
such deficiencies in the past, but
who have usually come to the front
to start things moving at the outset
OF the season. 1t is understood, how.
ever. that the most liberal supporters
of the team have decided that, with
out a league, it would be foolish to
try TO put team in the field again
this spring.
ut was clearly showed last season
after the North Adams club had dis
banded that without some big rival
with which to compete, interest in
the game inclined to lag. One move
that might put baseball on its feet in
Remington would be the renewal of
the annual series with the Hoosick
Falls club. These two bitter rivals
have not FLASHED for couple OF
years, baseball relations having been
broken off following an unpleasant
mixup at a contest in the New York
state town. Baseball has been dead
at Hoosick Falls since then and II
seems about time that the two vii
lagos bury the Ratchet for such an
action would result in big baseball
boom throughout the section.
"a four cornered league with Hoo
sick Falls, Bennington, Pittsfeld and
North Adams competing would have
little trouble getting along
A public meeting will be held at
Apollo hall at 1880 this evening,
called for the purpose of electing a
new board of directors for the Ben
nington Baseball Association. Every
person interested in the sport should
make Il point to be present. In or
der for Bennington 10 put a team In
the field the coming season 1t will be
necessary that the project be well
supported And this means not only
good attendance after the games
start but personal interest while
the preliminary work of organiza-
ton is In progress. Baseball In Ben
nington in the past has succeeded be-
cause the community as community
has stood behind the team. Without
united public support such as can
be found in but few towns Benning'
ton would never have been able to
maintain such teams as have been
put In the field here In recent years

BEST BANK IN THE STATE

Those who read the statement in
The Banner few days age of the re-
markable growth of the Bennington
County Savings bank during the past
year, realized that this bank is one
one of the best savings banks in the
country, but a comparison of the
business of the bank with that Of ten
years ago shows the progress Of the
bank more strikingly.
On Jan. 1, 1902 the total assets of
the bank were $S76,531.O5. On Jan
/ this year the total assets were 49,
016,127S0.
Ten years ago the total of deposits
was $S45,24272. Now the total de-
posits are $1,S55,651.15.
In 1902 the total surplus fund was
$31,2S8.3S The surplus has now
grown to s160,476.65. This surplus
fund which is an Indication of the
strength of the bank proves the bank
to be one of the best and strongest
to be found anywhere.
When Charles III. Dewey first en-
tered the employ Of the bank 20 years
ago the total deposits were less than
500. 900

Bill In Congress to Suspend Il for Six
Months-Crop Short.

Washington, Jan. ia suspens-
ion for six months Of the tariff duty
of rs cents per bushel on potatoes
was proposed in bill introduced by
Representative Ayres of New York.
The bill stated that "the scarcity of
potatoes in the markets of the United

almost prohibitive to the consum-
ers."
The United States Government fig
ures for the potato crop of this sea-
son show shortage of $4,000, 900
bushels under last year and $4,000
600 bushels under the previous year.
A firm of international produce deal
