ford When Fire Destroyed the
House

Rutland, Jan. Mrs. Stephen
Packard of Wallingford was severely
burned and partly crazed attempting
TO save valuables in the upper story
of her burning home late last night.
AS the woman is in a critical con-
dition, it can not be learned from her
incoherent remarks what were the
valuables she risked her life to save.
he house with all its contents were
burned to the ground. The fire is
supposed to have started in the chin
ney.
Mrs. Packard who is 60 years old,
was alone in the house and as the
nearest neighbor lives a quarter of
mile away, she had to act for her
SELF She tried to gain the upstairs
rooms of the house but was driven
back Her own clthing caught fire
and she extinguished the flames by
rolling in the snow, put not until she
had been seriously burned.
Mrs. Packard was discovered by
young men from the village in an ap
pie tree with clothesline in her hand
Ehe gave no account of her queer pc
sition but 1t is sppoeed that she was
partly crazed by the pain of her
may have intended to hang herself
The thermometer in that section reg
istered 20 degrees below zero at the
| time of the fire.

STRUCK BY FALLING ROCKS
Men Employed by FraserBrace Com
pany on Dam No. 2

The second fatal accident which
has occurred on the Deerfield river
construction contract near Shelburne
Falls, happened Saturday night about
11:15 at the site OF dam No. 2, about
two miles below the village OF Shell
burne Falls, when two men In the
employ of the Fraser.Brace company
were killed by being struck by rocks
falling from the hosting bucket. JOS
eph Cocordeni, 80, native OF Poland,
and Giuseppe Domenice, 80, an ltal-
ian, were the unfortunate men.
The work of removing the rock and
gravel from the bed of the river at
this point is done with the aid Of
buckets manipulated by a huge der
rick which raises them TO height
OF about 100 feet, and deposits the
contents on the bank of the river.
This particular bucketful had been
raised about 80 feet above the river
when in some unaccountable way he
bucket tipped and emptied its con-
tents back in the river. Pieces OF
rock struck the two men working be-
low. crushing their skulls, one OF
them dying within a few minutes.
The companys physician, DIR. b. e.
Guild. was summoned to treat the
surviving one, but there was no hope
for him, and he died within a few
hours.

LA TOILETTE AND
BRYAN WHISPER
TOGETHER
Much Ado Over Meeting That
Probably Means Nothing
BOTH DENY SIGNIFICANCE
Merely Glanced to Be In Station at
Same Time and Talked Over Mat
ter Of Popular Election Of Senators

Washington, Jan. 7.--Colonel- VIII
liam Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and
Senator Robert M. La Toilette of
Wisconsin had conference at the
Union station tonight upon their ar
rival in the city, the former from the
south and the latter from the west.
The meeting between the three-time
presidential candidate of the Demo-
cratic party and the progressive Re-
publican who is seeking the Republi.
can presidential nomination was said
to be accidental.
No sooner was it known that the
progressive leaders of the two parties
had come together than party talk
flew thick and fast about the hotel
corridors. 1t was not wholly confin-
ed TO members of the Democratic
national committee who were gather
ing for the meeting tomorrow. Re-
publicans, too, showed lively inter
est.
All day the Democratic committee
men had been seeking methods Of
dealing with the several perplexing
questions scheduled to come up at
tomorrow's meeting, but nearly every
possible solution advanced seemed
to depend upon the probable attitude
OF the Nebraska leader. Progress
was slow because OF the general de-
sire to consult Mr. Bryan.
Shortly before six o'clock the Ne
braskan's train arrived. Many prom
inent Democratic leaders were at the
station. After handshakings all
around Mr.. Bryan sighted Senator La
Follette-or, to be exact, they sighted
each other at about the same time.
They rushed toward each other and
shook hands and then lost no time in
withdrawing a short distance from
the crowd, where they conyersed
with evident earnestness for several
minutes.
That there was some CONSERVATION
among the waiting Democrats was
apparent.
When Mr.. Bryan and the senator
parted there was another show OF
good feeling. Mr.. Bryan then ex-
planned tersely that Senator La Fol-
lette and he had talked about the
resolution pending in congress pro-
viding for the election Of senator's by
popular vote. Senator La Toilette
tonight gave the same explanation by
telephone, but in the minds OF some
there remained a little skepticism.

PEOPLE ARE AROUSED
La Toilette Says Progressive Cause
Is Growing

Washington, Jan. 7.-Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin upon his re
turn to Washington tonight from an
extensive campaign trip through
Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana
in the interest of the Progressive Pc
publican campaign issued a state
ment in which he said:
Everywhere the people are arous
ed. They are determined to have
some voice in their government. They
understand the real contest to be to
wrest our government from the spec
ial interests.
"They are enthusiastically in IA
vor of instruments which shall give
to them the means to compel real
representative government the no
mination Of all candidates, from Cor.
oner to President, by direct vote; the
election of United States senators by
direct vote; the initiative, referen-
dun and recall.
THE people recognize that only
through these instrumentalities can
increasing concentration of business
and political control in the hands of
a few men be arrested and effective
measures devised and enforced to re-
establish the business of the country
upon a sound, honest, economical ba-
sis of actual value, fair to big bust
ness and to small business alike and
just to the public
1T is my intention to continue

DR.. YouNe's LECTURE
A Valuable Talk on Social Hygiene"
Before the FortnightIy Saturday

A Valuable Talk on social Hygiene"
Before the FortnightIy Saturday
Or. Evangeline W. Young of Bos-
ton, examining physician of North
field seminary, gave a practical and
interesting lecture on Social Hy-
giene" before the Fortnightly Satur-
day afternoon. DR.. Young. who has
been secured by the Vermont State
Federation TO address the women's
clubs in Vermont on this matter, is
eminently fitted for the work.
This many sided subject was skill
fully handled by DR.. Young and she
took up the economical, as well as
the moral and sanitary phases Of it.
At the present time, there is much
agitation in regard to this question
and there is gradual awakening
among educators, physicians, minis
ters and social workers, to the vital
need OF education and legislation
along this line. DR.. Young predicted
that this agitation would increase in
the future and that radical measures
would be taken by state legislatures,
as means of solving what is today,
one of the gravest issues before the
people of this country. DR.. Young s
remarks were tactful and dignifed
and contained much that was valu'
able on a subject on which there is
much to be said.
At the close of the meeting, those
present were asked to sign petition
for legislation, in regard to this sub
ject, which will be presented before
the Vermont legislature when it con
venes next fall.

NO DIRECT VOTE THIS SESSION
Senate and House Won't Be Able to
Agree on Election of Senators

Agree on Election Of Senators
Washington, Jan. Gail hope OF
agreement between conferees, repre-
sentng the two houses of Congress
on the resolution providing for cleo
ton of United States senators by dir
ect vote of the people has vanished.
The conferees on the resolution pro
viding for the constitutional amend
ment have reached the conclusion
that an agreement would be impossi-
bic and report to that effect is ex-
pected next week The difference be
tween the House and Senate conferees
is based on a question OF congression-
al supervision. AS adopted by the
House the resolution placed a con
troll OF senatorial elections in the
hands of the state legislatures. The
Senate amended the resolution leav-
ing the control with Congress.
This question has been debated by
the conferees since the extra session
and after many meetings representa-
lives on each side have been unable
to offer concessions which would be
accountable.

BRYAN WAS BEATEN
Nebraska Leaders Followers Made
Fight In Committee

Washington, Jan. S.-The Democra-
tic national committee met here to-
day to fix date for the national
Democratic convention and a clash
with the Bryan element before the
session was fairly under way.
Mr.. Bryan moved that James M.
Wetherly be seated as the member
from Alabama Chairman Norman
+. Mack ruled the motion out Of or
der as unnecessary on the ground
that Mr.. Wetherly had been elected
by the Alabama state central COM
mittee and was duly accredited.
Mr.. Bryan raised a point of order
which was overruled. The Nebraska
leader appealed and after hot de-
bate his appeal was rejected by a
vote of 80 to 49, The committee then
went into executive session.

ANOTHER PUMPING PROJECT.

The Rupert Pioneer Record in its
last issue has the following which
has more or less significance to the
settlers on the North Side tract:
''The Pinneer-Recor,l is informed
that there are four parties nf engl'
nerrS in the employ 6f the Kuhn in
tcrcsts surveying the high land above

and which has been reserved 10y the
Government. There is every reason
to believe that this information is
reliable, but the exact purpose ni
such a survey can only he surmised.
"m this connection there seems
to be prevailing opinion that the
object is Ia check up the govern
ment survey with a view of aScer-
tanning Just the acreage which might

of this tract from the Government

partment authority to sell such re-
serves; using storage water from
Jackson lake or some other reservoir
