wOODFORD POWER BILL
Charter for Development of Electrci-
ty in the Vicinity of
Bennington.

Montpelier, Nov. 13-After some
thing of scrap in the house yester-
day afternoon it was voted to extend
the time for the introduction of bills
once more. making the limit next
week Tuesday. There was lively
debate over the question but the mo
ton was carried by an overwhelming
vote
There are some good reasons both
ways on the question. The members
have gotten in most of their bills. Jut
are being beset by their constituents
with propositions which they want
placed before the legislature. Any
one who has been around the state
house for a term of years comes
more and more to realize that the
faults of the legislature are in the
larger degree the faults OF the peo-
Pile at home,
In the first place the towns send
each year new men, and then begin
to grumble because it takes so much
time for the legislature to get under
way. Then after the legislature does
get well at work business men all
over the state, who might have pre-
sented their matters before the legis-
'lature at the beginning of the session
wait until the last day or two for the
introduction of bills to bring their
measure forward. The result is that
both members and the revision COM
mittee are tremendously flooded just
at this time, and an extension was
necessary If the bills now here are
TO be gotten into proper shape before
they are introduced.
The senate is in the same boat as
the house in this matter, and voted
unanimously to make next week Mon
day the last day for the Introduction
OF bills.
The charter for the power develop
ment in Woodford is here and will
be introduced by Mr.. Martin of Ben
nington within a day or two. AS soon
as the printed coy is available the bill
will be published in full in the Ban
ner, and the people of Bennington
and the surrounding towns should
read 1t over carefully and notify their
representatives and senators If they
find anything Objectionable.
The house voted by resolution
yesterday afternoon to make perman-
ent arrangement for the remainder of
session of adjourning at the end of
each Saturday morning session until
the following Monday evening. This
is a good thing in disposing of the
weekly scrap over the matter, and
the members can now know exactly
what to expect each week
Mr.. Ripley of Poultney introduced
bill in the house yesterday to con-
solidate the various school funds.
and provide for a more equitable dis
tribution of the same in order to give
little more aid from the eight per
cent state tax to those towns which
now pay a heavy school tax. but are
not able, because of their small grand
lists, to keep their schools up to the
standard they desire. This bill is
planned to help those towns most
which show most disposition to help
themselves.

SHAPIRO GOES ON
!. STAND AGAINST
THE GUNNER
Chauffer of Murder Car"
Picks Quartette
HOW R0SENTHAL WAS KILLED
Says Four Identified Men Returned
to Car After Shooting With Re-
volvers in Their Hands.
HOW ROSENTHAL WAS KILLED

New York, Nov. 13.-William Sha-
piro, co-defendant with the four gun
men indicted in New York as the ac-
tual slayers of the gambler Herman
Rosenthal, yesterday turned states
evidence. Testifying at the gunmen's
trial for the murder, Shapiro identifi-
ed the quartet-'Lefty Louie" "Gyp
the Blood, Whitley" Lewis and 'Da-
go Frank" Cirofici-as his passengers
in the murder car" which he drove
tothe Hotel Metropole, where Rosen-
thai met his fate. He saw them get
out of the machine, he swore, heard
the shots fired, and declared that
when they came back to the machine
they had revolyers in their hands.
"Gyp the Blood" Shapiro SAID, had
placed revolver to his head and or
dered him to hurry up and drive
away" He had heard "Dago Frank"
say, he testified, that Police Lieut.
Becker. since convicted of instigat-
ing the murder, had fixed the cops"
Shapiro's appearance as state wit
ness was one of the results, according
to District Attorney Whitman, of the
death of big Jack" Zelig. leader OF
the gang of East-side thugs to which
the four gunner belonged. Shapiro
testified on the stand yesterday that
he had heretofore refused to identify
the gunner because of fear of being
killed
Shapiro told me-" explained Mr..
Whitman, after court adjourned,
that he was afraid If he testified
against the gunner Big Jack Zelig
would have him 'croaked.' When
Zelig was killed Shapiro got his nerve
back and decided to tell the truth"
Mr.. Whitman added that the indict-
ment against Shapiro would in all
probability be dismissed.
The witness told his story in low
monotone. looking straight ahead and
avoiding the angry glare of the four
gunner, who sat bent far forward in
their seats all the time he was testi-
flying. Each man of the quarete,
except "Dago Frank, was identified
earlier in the day by Louis Krause. a
waiter, as men whom he had seen fire
at Rosenthal, and "Dago Frank" was
thus identified by Morris Luban, an
other eyewitness.
Within an hour after the opening
of court, Assistant District Attorney
Moss had completed his address to
the jury and four witnesses had TAX
en- the stand. Among these was DR..
Otto Schultze, the coroner's physi-
clan. who performed the autopsy.
DR. Schultze produced the bullets
now shapeless bits of lead-which
he had taken from Rosenthal's brain
and held them up for the inspection
of the court where the defendants
could see them.
