RIOTS AT NEW BEDFORD
Strikers Prevent Operatives Entering
the Butler Mill

New Bedford, Mass, July IL /
riot by 1000 strikers and strike sym
pathizers occurred today before th'
gates of the Butler mill. For more
than an hour the strikers and theil
allies held a position near the mil
and refused to allow operatives &c
enter the gates. During the distur
bance three arrests were made, one
of the offenders being a woman. a
squad of reserves was sent from Pol
ice Headquarters to dispense the
strikers.
Nearly every one participating in
the demonstration either wore the
emblem of the Industrial Workers of
the World or a button bearing the
likeness of Joseph j. Euor. the i'm
prisoned leader of the Lawrence
strike
After the police had taken their
prisoners away in an automobile the
suggestion was made by some one in
the crowd that the prisoners be res
cued from the officers and 400 or 500
strikers marched TO the center of
the city. BY the time the police sta
ton was reached the crowd had dwin
died to less than one hundred and
these were quickly dispersed.

PENSION AFTER Is YEARS
Miss Drumgold, Blind, Put on Roll BY
Special Act of Congress.

New York, July 1S.-After twenty
five years of anxiety Miss Mary Ag-
mes Drumgold of 22S Paramount
Avenue, Newark, blind woman, is
to receive the pension that her father
was entitled to as a vetran Of the
Civil War. President Taft signed
the special act of Congress granting
the pension.
Miss Drumgold has sent letter OF
thanks to President Taft. 1t is writ
ten by the impression method, which
she learned at the School for the
Blind in Manhattan.
Miss Drumgold, who is 40 years old
has been blind since she was g. She
was deprived of her fathers pension
because he ran away from his regi
ment to pay visit to his family. He
intended to return, but his wife per
suaded him not to return to the army
so he joined the navy under the name
of Gould"
When it came to the question OF
pension there were the records In
Washington with Drumgold as a
| "deserter" from the army, but there
| was also a record of Gould who was
honorably discharged from the navy
Through the efforts of William
Kearns, who enlisted the aid of Unit
ed States Senator Frank o. Briggs
and Congressman James A. Hammi
the special act was brought about by
which Miss Drumgold could receive
her fathers pension.

CANNOT STOP ATROCITIES
British Government Says II Is Unable
to Interfere in Peru

London, July lin the House of
Commons today J. Dundas White
QiberaD asked the Foreign secre-
tary what steps it was proposed to
take in relation to the atrocities com
mitted upon native rubber collectors
employed in the Putumayo distrist
of Peru.
Sir Francis Dyke Acland, under Sc
cretary for foreign affairs, said the
published facts related to territories
in which the British government had
no responsibility and in which ii had
no power of direct interference. He
hoped the publication of the reports
would prove helpful by attracting
public opinion and stimulating priv
ate enterprise to establish a mission.
The British government added Sir
Francis, would promise that where
ever sympathy and support could
be helpful il would be readily forth
coming.

NOT THE BODY OF sWARTz
Brother-in-Law Fails to Identify Al
legged Murderer Of Connors Girl

New York, July 1S.-The belief
that the body of a man found float.
ing in the Hudson river on Monday
and taken to a morgue in Hoboken
was that of Nathan Swartz the youth
accused of numbering 14-year-old
Julia Connors in the Bronx early this
month. seemed last night to be un-
founded Henry Alexander, brother
in-law of young Swartz first Identified
the body as that of the youth accus-
ed of the Connors crime, but later
weakened and last night, after a sec
ond inspection of the body, declared
positively that it was not that of his
brotheT-in-law
The resemblance was remarkable,
he said, but there were also differ
ences. chiefly in the teeth, which con
WINGED him that he was mistaken in
his first Identification. 1t was thoughht
at first that young Swartz had taken
his fathers advice, after confessing
the crime. as the older Swartz told
Tuesday and had k He'd himself. The
authorities are continuing their in
vestigation into the case and say
they have eliminated the probability
of Swartz being dead.

1t is claimed that in the aggre

wise for the merchants committed
of the Board of Trade to investigate
| this subject Montpelier Journal.
Local boards of trade can do mucf
TO encourage the spirit of home-trad
ing, but this problem is one that
must ultimately be worked out by
the merchants of each community
Towns and cities, in which the pro
prietors of the local stores keep up
todate stocks, priced at reasonable
margins of profit, aren not likely to
suffer to any great extent from out
side competition. People in Benning-
ton, who have occasion to visit com
munities with populations similar in
size to that of their home town, fire.
quently remark, upon their return
home that the stores here not only
compare favorably with the places of
business they have seen but
in the majority of instances
they are superior. Travellers, who
come to Bennington, frequently, speak
of the general attractiveness of the
stores here and of the extensive
stocks carried by the local mer-
chants. No community can be in
duced to shut itself inside of itself.
The American people like to travel,
in fact. they are the greatest travel
ers in the world. When they are
away from home they will, to some
extent, patronize the stores in the
places they visit This is a charac-
teristic of human nature. particular
~ American human nature, that can
not be overcome by any board of
trade or similar organization. The
spirit of home-buying can be encour-
aged by organized effort and by agi-
tation in the newspapers, but the big
balance of whatever is accomplished
in this direction rests with the mer-
chants of each individual community.
They have got to deliver the goods
and here in Bennington We feel that
they are carrying out their part of
the work he stocks on hand are
varied and the prices are no higher
for the same qualities than are
in the cities. The local
are prepared and equipped
to supply the needs and the wants Of.
the community and there is little
necessity for our people to trade out
of town. This fact is not now realiZ-
ed to its full extent, perhaps, but
there are indications that the tenden-
cy toward home-buying is on the in
crease.
