Benefit Musicale.

The pupils of Miss Ethel Reed
will give piano recital at the Bonde
Hall on Tuesday evening, May 28th.
This will be the third annual recital
given by Miss Reeds class Of piano
students. Owing to the size of the
class Miss Reed finds it necessary
to use a public hall, which will give
room for all who wish to enjoy the
program. All receipts above the ne
cessary expenses for the hall will go
tosthe Willmar Init Inhercnlosiz
Society. Miss Reed is confident tia.
every one of her little boys and girls
will know their selections perfectly
as they have been spending each
Monday evening in rehearsing the en-
tire program for several weeks. 1t
will be interesting to see the pro-
gress the children have made in q
year.
The latter half of the program will
be given by older pupils in selections
with eight hands and two pianos,
four hands and two pianos, two du-
cts, etc. Miss Reed also presents
Miss Ethel Carlson in group of
solos. Miss Carlson shows unusual
talent and there is no doubt a musi.
cal career ahead for her. Another
feature is little Frances He'd, only 6
years. Little Frances has only
studied one year and owing to the
distance of her home from town is
unable to practice regularly. She
will play a group consisting of third
and fourth grade work, and plays as
well as many older pupils who have
studied for two or three years. An
other very talented little girl is Rosa
mond Gerretson, eight years old, who
will appear in solos, trios and duets.
We expect to publish the program
next week.

WITNESSES DARE
NOT GIVE THEIR
TESTIMONY
District Attorney Hampered in
ROsenthaI Case
ONE ReTRACTS ON STAND
Denies That He Gave Certain Facts
Relative To Bridge Weber On
Night Of Murder.

New York, July 25.-Fear of re-
venge at the hands OF East Side gang
sters, ever present in the minds OF
unwilling witnesses in the Rosenthal
murder investigation yesterday tenn
porarily blocked the efforts of Dis
trict Attorney Whitman to draw clos
er the lines about the men who as
sassinated the gambler eight days
days ago. Apparently awed by the
presence of gangsters in the coroner S
court ohm Reisler, a barber known
to the sporting fraternity as"John the
Barber" Tetracted at the coroner's
investigation a statement which he is
alleged to have made a few minutes
earlier to Mr.. Whitman that he had
seen Bridge" Weber, now under
arrest, running from the murder
scene. After Reisler had denied his
earlier statement he was arrested on
a charge of perjury.
Having failed in his attempts to
get desired statements from the wit
ness District Attorney Whitman Sc
cured an adjournment of Webber's
examination for As hours in order
that more witnesses might be secured
to bring out his connection with the
case The examination OF Sam Paul
was likewise put over. 1t is believed
that Mr. Whitman is laying lines to
force from Weber statement
which will implicate those higher
up in the case.
The district attorney stated late
yesterday that he had issued subpo-
enas for all the attendants at the
Lafayette baths, where some of the
men charged with completely in the
murder are said to have assembled af.
ter the killing II had been stated
that Harry WALTON, Bridge" Weber,
Sam Paul and BLACK Jack" Rose had
appeared there soon after the assas-
sination and had remained there for
the night.
Mr.. Whitman announced that pro
cess serYer had gone to New Haven
and had reported that Mrs. Sher-
man, who is said to have been dining
in the Metropole with Detective File
and two other friends just as the
shooting took place in front of the
hotel. and who was practically an
eyewitness of the assassination,
would go to New York and go before
the. grand jury as a witness whenev-

Vermont Republican.

No matter what develops outside,
Vermont is still safely Republican.
The size of the majority is the only
question. Fletcher and Howe ought
to receive the usual majority at the
September election. There is no
good reason why they should not;
nor is there any good reason why
the entire state ticket should not
receive the usual endorsement. OF
course the Windham county Republi-
cans will vote for the county ticket

THIRTEEN MINERS
DIE LIKE RATS
IN A TRAP
CIoudburst Floods Workings at
UniOntOwn, Pa.
ALL LEAVE LARGE FAMILIES
Thirty-seven Who Escaped Forced
To Wade and Swim Their Way
To Liberty.

Uniontown, Pa, uly 25.-Caught
like rats in trap when water rush
ed into the manway of Superba No
2 mine at Evans Station, three miles
north of here, yesterday afternoon,
following a cloudburst, 10 men were
drowned and 81 escaped after a most
narrowing experience. The men
were drowned about 1000 feet from
the mouth of the mines, their only
avenue of escape The majority OF
the victims were married and had
large families. 1t is reported that
at least one more victim, an unknown
foreigner, will be added. He was
passed by other men in the mine
when they escaped, refusing to ac-
company them to place of safety.
The majority of the victims had
large families, and about 80 children
are deprived of their bread winners
by one of the worst catastrophes that
has ever visited Fayette county The
men who escaped were forced to half
swim and half-walk to the pit mouth
through water ranging in depth from
their waists to their necks.
The majority of the miners who es-
capped were knocked down by tim
bers that were sent down the mine
with great velocity in the raging cur
rent. Several men were being carried
back into the mine to certain death
when rescued by their companions,
who risked their lives. 1t was stated
last night by officials of the Superba
company that it will take at least 60
days to clear the mine of water, and
until that time bodies must remain in
the water in which they persisted.

SOCIALIST CAMPAIGN.
Arrangements Completed For Numer-

A number of lecturers and speakers
are to come to Bennington in the
near future to speak on Socialism
and its place in the coming cam
paign. Friday evening Norman Il.
Greenslet, John Spargo and Frank
Hoffman of Chicago will speak on
the post office corner on the issues
of the campaign. Hon. Emil Seidel,
eX-mayor of Milwaukee and Socialist
candidate for the vice presidency,
will speak in Bennington August 2.
Arrangements are being made so that
in case Of rain a hall will be provid
ed. No Socialist state committee
has been permitted more than two
dates from Debs and Seidel so that
it is an unusual thing to have Ben
nington given the opportunity TO
hear both of these men. Mayor Lunn
of Schenectady will also be one of
the speakers on the evening of Au-
gust 2S, as will also Representative
Merrill of New York.
Earlier in August on a date not
yet fixed, State Senator Gaylord of
Wisconsin will speak in Bennington
and make a tour of the state.

IOWA LAUNCHES THIRD PARTY
Platform Declares For Election o
Postmasters BY Constituencies.


Postmasters BY Constituencies.
Des Moines, July 25.-Roosevelt en-
thusiasm' marked the closing scenes
in the first Iowa state progressive
party convention which yesterday
chosea full Sc tot delegates to the
national convention at Chicago or
ganized a working state central COM
mittee, and provided for COMPRESSION
al, district and county organization.
The platform adopted, in addition
to declaring for election of postmas-
ters by their constituencies, con-
dennis the Republica national con-
yention and Republican national com
mlttee at Chicago; severely criticises
President Taft as a reactionary and
denounces what is alleged TO be his
subserviency 10 the special inter
ests: eulogizes Theodore Roosevelt
as 'the foremost man of the world, p"
and declares for his nomination and
election; urges presidential prima-
ries and the election of United States
senators by popular vote; indorses
the initiative and referendum and
asks for physical valuation of rail
road properties and a protective tariff
suited to the fostering of labor in
domestic manufactures, agriculture
and other industries.
The portion of the platform referr-
ing TO President Taft reads as fol-
lows. I'VE here utter solemn pro-
test against what has been done at
Chicago and Baltimore in two ma
tional conventions, and against what
has been done and is being done at
Washington by a president who has
proven recreant to the trust imposed
in him, and who long ago definitely
and completely abandoned the cause
of the people to do the bidding of
the bosses.
