Their fancy or their muse,
Make odes to Stilton cheese
Or Photographic views;
Or write about the news
Cor politics grows keener)
But as for me, ! choose
To hymn the vacuum cleaner.
How women's work has lightened
Since first this servant came!
And how the face has Frightened
On many a weay dame!
1t rests each aching frame
And cheereth the demeanor,
And SO has won to fame

No more the dust of sweeping
Goes flying through the air
To fill our eyes with weeping,
Our lungs with germ for fair;
The housewife need not wear
Cheap calicoes to screen her,
Nor rags about her hair

Housecleaning time was Hades
Before this neat machine,
And even perfect ladies
We're unfit to be seen;
Our wives were smudged of mien
And Humorous of demeanor-
Come, meni with ardor keen

JUDGE ARCHIBALD
DEALT OUT LAW
FOR PROFIT
According to Revelations Of His
Partner
JUDGE IN BUSHES S
Favored Railroad in Rulings When
Trying to Buy cuIm Bank
From Company
JUDGE IN BUSINESS

Washington, May S.-Startling tes-
timony was given by Edward j. Will
liams, a coal broker, of Dunmore,
Penn, this afternoon at the opening
session of the investigation being con
Quoted by the House Judiciary Com
mittee for the purpose of determining
whether Judge Robert w. Archibald
of the United States Court of Com
merce shall be impeached for tran
sactions involving the Katydid culm
bank in Pennsylvania, his relation to-
a Venezuela land deal and other
commercial affairs.
Williams figured in the various
transactions and had an intimate
knowledge of their details, but it
was apparent that he was not willing
to say anything detrimental to Judge
Archibald, who was present through
out the hearing, accompanied by A. S.
Worthing, leader of the District of
Columbia bar, as his counsel
His testimony, however. was OF the
most astounding character. Almost
every member of the committee par
ticipated in the examination of VIII
liams and, despite contradictions,
testimony of the most damaging
character was elected from the wit
ness. The character If some of the
questions fired at Williams by Repre-
sentative Sterling and other mem
bers of the committee indicated sus.
picion that the witness might have
been tempered with before he took
the stand.
| 1t was developed during the hear.
ing that Judge Archibald was inter.
ested with Williams in a transaction
for the acquisition by them of clum
dump along the Erie Railroad near
Moosic, Penn, from the Hillsville
Coal and Iron Company, in which the
Erie Railroad system is understood
to have a controlling interest; that
Judge Archibald was to receive halt
of the profits; that he put up nc
money in connection with the opt
ions negotiated by Williams for the
acquisition OF the property, and that
this transaction occurred during the
summer of 1911 while Judge Archi
bald was a member OF the United
States Commerce Court
Throughout todays examination
members of the Judiciary Committee
questioned Williams as TO a case In
which the Erie Railroad was inter
ested, which was instituted in the
Court of Commerce, of which Judge
Archibald is a member, a year ago
The case involved an important order
issued by the Interstate Commerce
I Commission against the Erie and 9th
er roads involving the terminal light
erage problem in which they were
all vitality interested in New Yorl
City The Court of Commerce is
sued an injunction temporarily set
ting aside the order of the Inter
State Commerce Commission and tn,
case is now pending in the United
States Supreme Court of appeal.

STORY HOUR ILLUSTRATED
BY Mrs. p. Wellington Bragg Of Rut
land Before Visiting Librarians.

At the suggestion of Miss Angie
Melden. who is much interested in
bringing about a closer relation be-
tween the Bennington Free Library
and the Schools. the State Board Of
Library commissioners invited Mrs
p Wellington Bragg, who conducts
the story hour for the Rutland Ii
brary to give practical illustration
OF her work before the visiting H.
brarians who are here attending the
library school.
With the cooperation of Superin-
tendent A. w. Varney the children of
the primary grades assembled at 1889
yesterday afternoon and listened to
the story of Proserpene, the story OF
Epaminaudos the Mouse pie story and
the half chick. To the children OF
the intermediate and grammar grades
Mrs. Bragg told North Dakota
story representing the coming
] of spring, an Uncle Remus tale, a
story of the American Revolution and
"Bobbie Shaftoe".
The young people paid Mrs. Bragg
the tribute of perfect attention and
short time after the story hour
many Of them went to the library fol
the books in which Mrs. Bragg hat
said they could read for themselves
the stories she had told. This prov
ed from the librarians standpoint
the success of the story hour.

Columbus, o. May S.-Altogether
Mr.. Taft made IL speeches during the
day His voice stood up WELL but
grew a trifle husky just before he
made Columbus tonight.
He swung east and south clear
across the state from Cincinnati to
Ironton and then west and north to
Columbus, stopping at Oak Hill. Jack
son, Logan and Lancaster. His fel-
low Ohioans turned out in good num-
bers and listened attentively TO his
arguments Most Of the late speech
es were much alike but at Jackson,
Mr.. Taft talked frankly about Cana.
dian reciprocity, a subject he has
touched hardly at all.
In this connection, he charged that
Mr.. Roosevelt had been unfair to him
in denouncing the plan after first
promising it his support.
Plans for the presidents swing
through Ohio next week made public
in part here tonight indicate that Mr.
Taft intends TO make spectacular
and strenuous fight to control the
states as delegates to the republican
national convention.
Entering Ohio next Mondty morn
ing at Marietta, the president viii

he has not visited on the tour endet
here tonight The president will
travel more than 1000 miles in Ohi'
by special train, leaving labyrinth
trail across the state from the Obi
river to the Indiana state line ant
from Cincinnati TO Lake Erie. MI
Taft will be in the state nine day
and on seven of these ne will be Il
full action. Estimates tonight wer
that he would speak at least Z
times.
Although details of the trip wer
not completed tonight, the presiden
is expected to find some new sui
jects on which to continue his al
tacks on Col Roosevelt Friends G

There is something about the char

of that period was of such lovable

EXECUTED NEXT
JANUARY
Sentence Of Essex Junction
Murderer Confirmed
KILLED YOUNG WOMAN
Mae LABEL, Hotel Waitress, Re-
fused His Attentions ard Was
Shot to Death

Montpelier, May Sin supreme
court this morning Judge Loveland
Munson read an opinion sustaining
the judgment of Chittenden county
court in the case of Arthur Bosworth,
convicted at the September term of
the murder OF Mae LABEL at Essex
Junction June 7, 1911, and then pass
ed sentence of death upon the res
pondent, who received 1t without a
sign of emotion. He had nothing to
say before sentence was pronounced.
The sentence of the court Is that
Bosworth be taken at once to the
state prison at Windsor and there
confined at hard labor until next Dc
tober and then be placed in solitary
confinement until January "a, 1913,
and on that day, between the hours
of one and three in the afternoon, he
is to be taken to the yard of the
prison and hanged by the neck until
dead.
The only part of the sentence that
appeared to have any effect on Bos-
worth was that which prescribes
J hard labor. He thought it tough
luck" to have to work and be hang
ed also. He was taken back to Bur
! lington at noon and will remain in
/ Chittenden county Jail until the nit
timus is sent for his removal to
Windsor.
/ Bosworth was convicted at the Sep
tnx,hAr 1911 nf (,hfffQn6Rn
county court. The jury found him
guilty of murder in the first degree
} with recommendation OF capital pun
ishment. The crime charged against
him was the shooting and killing of
Mae f. LABEL, a waitress in the de-
pot restaurant and hotel at Essex
} Junction, on June 7, 1911
} Bosworth is an Englishman. He
} resided in Canada two years. Three
months before the crime he came to
: Vermont. He was employed as gen.
: eral utility man around the hotel and
, through his employment at the hotel
met Miss LABEL. She made no ad
5 vances to indicate that she cared fol-
( him, but Bosworth fell in love with
: her. Her evident dislike for him
: troubled him and he made numerous
+ threats against her life, finally buy
ing a revolver. He shot her five
times. Bosworth is quick tempered
0 and gets ratified quickly. He has ex
e pressed sorrow for the crime.
l In denying the exceptions taken BY
:. Bosworth's counsel, the court upheld
v the homicide law passed by the las
d legislature under which the jury ma!
e determine the degree of murder anC
J. recommend with or without capita
+ punishment. The court also over
v ruled the exception taken to the orde
OF the presiding Judge to the sheriff
to call in talesmen before the pane
was exhausted.
The date was fixed for January "a
h so as to allow a session OF the legis
l. lature to intervene before the sen
n tence was carried out, as required b,
e statute law. In case the legislator
l. is in session on January "a next, tn
e governor can stay execution as wa
done in the case of Elroy Kent.

Governor Sanders Tells of Con-

STATE BURDEN HEAVY
Governor Thinks That Nation Should
Protect State From Mississ-
ippl Floods

Baton Rouge, La, May S.-The
State of Louisiana is today bearing
the brunt in the highest food that
has ever come down the Mississippi
River. and a levee system which Fed
eral and State engineers had declared
to be well-nlgh perfect, protecting
twenty parishes Of sixty in the State
of Louisiana, has proved in four
places unable to withstand the strain.
AS a result, several parishes are
affected in some part by water from
the crevasses at Salem in the Texas
Basin in Northern Louisiana, and in
the Torras and some places upon the
Atchafalaya in the Atchafalaya and
Mississippi Basin. The loss of life
has been almost entirely accidental,
due only indirectly to food condi-
tions and not to the crevasses them
selves. The total loss of life in
Louisiana as result of these Gre
vases has not exceeded twenty.
In nearly all instances the accident
al drownings have been due to wo-
men and children upsetting boats or
by falling off houses into the water
The population affected by the crew
asses in Northern Louisiana approx
mates 125,000, out of which number
the Federal Government is feeding
over 10000 practically all negroes.
In Southern Louisiana the popula
ton of the parishes affected is ap
proximately quarter Of million, Of
whom at least 100000 will suffer loss
and probably 10000 will eventually
have to be cared for before they ar,
able to get to work again on thei
lands. In the southern distric
negroes are chiefly the sufferers.
Due TO the crevasses themselves ;
property loss of at least $4,000, 00'
has been suffered, while, II tn,
waters remain up until July, the los
through failure TO be able to plan
will reach three times that sum. Tn
point of the situation is this. Louis
ana like Mississippi and Arkansas
is bearing the tremendous burden o
carrying to the sea the food water
of thirty other States. The sums o
money spent by the Federal Gov
eminent in helping us in our misfol
tune are inconsequential when con
pared with the enormous loss an
setback we are suffering.
