The recent agitation on the ques
ton of the abolition of capital pun
ishment seems to have resulted in the
retaining of the death penalty by a
more decisive majority than usual in
the Legislature. 1t has been many
years since a bill to do away with
capital punishment has been turned
down so decisively as it was at
Montpelier this week With murder
as common as it is nowadays appeals
for a more merciful law, are not re-
ceived very cordially.

One good feature of the proposed
fish and game law codiiication is the
lengthening of the open season for
deer hunting from ten days to twenty
five. Not many more deer will be
killed and with the hunting extended
over a longer period there will be
fewer men in the woods at any one
time and therefore much less danger
of accidents.

BENNINGTON, VT, NOV. 81, 1911:

Vermont will retain the bounty on
hedgehogs, but with the amount re-
duced to ten cents, which is so small
that it is not probable that the ami
mails will be much hunted for the
sake of the bounty Woodchucks dc
much more damage than do hedge
hogs and if there is to be bounty on
either animal it ought to be on wood
chucks.

OLD TRIANGLE
WILL BE SEEN
To Come Out of Hiding for
Firemen's Parade.

Firemen of this city are waiting
most impatiently for the next popular
appearance OF the old triangle which
Tor years back served as the city's
are alarm. 1t is declared to be in
possession of two or three members
of Eagle Hose and Chemical Com
pany and during the past year has
Deen shifted a number of times to
avoid the possibility of being stolen.
So treasured is the triangle that it's
holders would not even risk divulging
its whereabouts to fellow members,
despite the fast that it is generally
said the Eagles have it."
October "a, and in the firemen's
parade is the time and place sched-
uled for the next public appearance
of the triangle, which has secured
such a mysterious history. 1t was
last displayed in a firemen's parade
on July 4, 1910. The treasured
alarm was given to the city by the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
more than thirty years ago, that it
| might have ample means of summon
ing persons to fight fires. 1t has been
stolen several times. given away and
has been buried on land and under
waters of Raritap river, ever hidden
in the darkest corners OF cellars to
keep it safe from the eyes of those
! who would snatch it from its holders.
According to records 1t was first
stolen from the city by a Totem
| Vile fire company. Through good
management and cleverness, some
members of Protection Hook and
| Y H--on .t~1N IL -NrN TINT
tenville and left In repose In their
care for some time. 1t was later
given to Keyport to summon the
! folks OF that quaint borough to Its
fires. When 1t WAS determined that
Keyport residents had had enough
OF it's service 1t was confiscated by
local firefghters and returned to this
city.
| Members of the Exempt Firemen's
| Association were proud for a long
time, while Jeppe S~ondergaard, a
popular exempt fireman, held it In his
cellar at % Market street. While
flremen of every company in the city
| desired possession of the treasure,
1t was left for the Eagles to steal 1t
| from Mr.. S~ondergaard. They did SO
Just a year ago, at S o'clock In the
afternoon, as Mr.. Sondergaard was
removing from Market street. He
had 1t carefully boxed and secluded
, In the cellar and had intended to
transfer 1t to his new place of abode
under cover of darkness, but the walt
for night was costly, to the extent
of loss Of the triangle. Eagle mem
bers have since buried 1t, kept 1t In
| cellars and done all sorts of things
to keep 1t In their possession. Among
| those most eager to seize it have been
some Of the Lincoln members. They
| even went SO far as to arrange for
a banquet recently, at which to en-
terrain Eagle members while the tri-
4, angle was being stolen, but their
plans failed, for even through the in
timacy Of same Eagle members they
failed to learn of its resting place.

BUILDING CODE
To BE REVISED
Aldermen Name Committee Of
Three for Work.

Amendments win be made to the
building code during the coming
winter SO as to have it in more de-
sirable form by next spring. BY a
motion passed at the meeting OF the
City Council last night Alderman-au-
large Garretson and Aldermen CAL
vim and Seaman were named as a
committee to make such revision.
Some of the principal changes pro-
posed are In relation to single roofs
and tile and cement block construc-
ton In buildings.
Following complaints OF contrac-
tors, which led to conferences be-
tween members Of the Master Build
ers' Association and Building In
spector Michael ]. McNamara, It was
decided that changes should be
made. Contractors desire the right
to construct single roofs on build
ings situated In sparsely populated
parts Of the city and want changes
made In relation to the use OF CO.
ment blocks and tile.
The revision will go on through.
out the winter, according to Acting
Mayor Garretson. The committee
In charge will meet at close inter.
walls as convenient. 1t is intended to
have the work completed so as to
have the amendments passed before
the next spring rush of building
work.
