The Fair Haven Era hears that an
effort is to be made to get the Yer
mont electors to vote for Mrs. Mar
garet Zane Witcher of Utah for vice
president but we doubt if their cour-
tesy can be strained to the point OF
voting for a lady for this high office
when they have a candidate of their
own in the person of ex-Gov. John A.
Mead Of Rutland.-St. Johnsbury Re
publican.
Let's see, wasn't it John A. Mead
who went down to Boston year or
two ago and in public address is
alleged to have said that protection
is dead issue? About all the vot
es the Republicans held in the recent
election were faithful because of the
protection issue. But then 1t won't
really make much difference who the
Vermont electors vote for.

INQUIRE MUST
 BEGIN ANEW
SUPREME COURT UPSETS RULING OF SUPERIOR COURT. State,s Attorney Judson Scores Coun- ty Commissioners For Allowing
 Transfer.

As a result of the decision handed down yesterday by the supreme court of errors. the appeal Of the Ma11eab1e Iron Co., in the case of Patrick J. Me Guire's application for a liquor license transfer, will be tried again in the su- perior court
 Attorney c. s. Garfield, Of counsel for the Malleab1e Iron Co.,, said this morning that he couldn't say definite Iy just what the next legal step would be. '@We have sent for a copy of the supreme courts opinion,'' said Attor- ney Garfield. According to the ru1- ing of the superior court, from which but now we are back in court again.
 States Attorney Stiles Judson, also of counsel for the Ma1leab1e Iron Co.,, made a statement yesterday afternoon for their action in grant ing the transfer. He said their de- cision was an outrage and intima ted that powerful interests, such the Connecticut Breweries Co.,, paid Mo Guire's legal expenses in order to break into the West End manufa ctur- ing district.
 When seen this morning County Commissioner John Brophy said the commissioners would probably make a statement later, but nothing would be Pease and Mead who were not at their offices today.
 McGuire originally owned a saloon at Congress and Main streets. He wanted a transfer to 447 Gregory street and a remonstrance was filed by the MaIleable Iron Co. The com missioners granted the transfer and an appeal was taken to the superior court. McGuire's counsel, DeForest & Klein. filed plea in abatement, claiming their client had not been mo- tif1ed of the appeal. After several mo- tions had been filed the court sus- tained the plea in abatement and dis missed the appeal. From this decision the remonstr ants appealed to the su- preme court.

ate We discharged these people At the present time we are running With g. full quota of thoroughly eXper1- enced men in all departments We are under police protection and also have our own guards guarding the property against any danger. We do not expect any violence, but are go- ing to run our business without mo- lestation.''
 ..wiI you deny that the t1, men New York are the gangsters under the leadership of William Kelley, a broth CT of Paul Kelly. leader of a gang side?" asked the reporter. .'They are not. they are all employed through a frst-class agency" said MT Edwards, who continued. We are filling in with Bridgeport people as fast as we can get them. There are at present about 80 Bridgeport women employ ed and we could use 100 more. The reason we have established this com missary department is for the reason that these former employees have been going around intimida ting the board to burn their houses and to do them other harm if they harbor employees who work here"
 Consenting to conduct the reporter through the factory MT. Edwards showed him the imported labor work ing at machines under the supervision of a Bridgeport police officer. Sepa- rated from the first apartIn ent MT. Edwards pointed to about thirty wo-
 men engaged about long tables with cloth and apparently working. Pass ing to the floor below, the guard room was shown to be equipped with modern gas ranges. Long tables were set to accomm odate approximately 100 persons, and long pipe-racks extend ing the length of the room formed a. double tier of sleeping hunks, fur n1shed with mattresses and comforta- b1es. The head of the secret service squad was busily engaged in super vis1ng the culinary operations greeted the visitor, while 1oungihg in various attitudes at the windows and about the building numerous guards were observed to be on duty.

NOT GUILTY VERDICT FOR
 FITZGERALD
Charged With Stealing $173,O0O From United States Sub-
 Treasury 5 Years Ago

Chicago, Dec. 2O.-George w. F,itz- gerald was, today, acquitted of the charge of stealing $173,000 from the United States Sub-Treasury. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty after being out eight hours.
 Fitzgerald with his two daughters, sat pale and tense, awaiting the yer dict. When the words mot guilty came from the jury, Fitzgerald clasp ed his daughters with tears stream ing down his cheeks.
 Edward R. Litzenger, Fitzgerald s counsel, made short speech of thanks to the jury and Fitzgerald and nal discharge by Federal Judge Car penter.
 The acquitta1 of Fitzgerald marked the collapse of five years of endeavor on the part of the government to solve the mystery of the disappear ance of $173,000 from the sub treas ury here.
 The money was lost or stolen Feb. 20. 1907.
 Fitzgerald was then a teller in the sub-treasury. Along with other em- ployes there he was questioned but he told a straight story and was not held.
 Three days before the statute of limitations ran out on Feb. IT, 1910, he was indicted by a federal grand jury and warrants issued for him. Six months later he was arrested.
 The prosecution of the governme ent has cost Fitzgerald his health, most of his fortune and, he says, his wife. A few months ago his wife, worn by the disgrace of her husbands arrest, died.
