AUTO TURNED TURTLE.
Rutland Chauffeur and Deputy Sheriff
Slightly Injured.

Rutland, Sept. &c rial j. Lou
tier of Baxter street, a chauffeur en-
ployed by the T. ]. Byrne garage on
Evelyn street and Deputy Sheriff
Henry r. Adams were both injured
when the car skidded around a cor
ner between Fair Haven and White
hall, N. Y, late Saturday night and
was overturned Their injuries are
more likely to be painful than seri-
Gus,
Reuter-, who had just taken an
clipping couple from this city to
Whitehall was returning when he was
met by Mr.. Adams and others, who
were in pursuit of the runaways.
The chauffeur was ordered to return
to Whitehall and show the officer and
his companions where he, Reuter-,
had left his fares.
To prevent the escape of the chauf
feur, who was evidently reluctant to
divulge the whereabouts of the elop-
| ing man and woman he had taken TO
White hall, Mr.. Adams himself enter
ed Reuters car and ordered him TO
drive back to the New York town.
The accident occurred at curve
about four miles on the Fair Haven
side of Whitehall. The car turned
turtle, the deputy sheriff was thrown
out sustaining several minor injur-
les, and the chauffeur was pinned I'M
der his own machine, which was
quite badly damaged.
The clipping couple, to whose pur-
suit the accident may be attributed,
were Harry A. Rowe of Merchants
row, and Mrs. Wesley Holland, wife
of Wesley Holland of Brown St, an
employe of the Rutland railroad.
They left town In each others com
pany late Saturday afternoon, in an
automobile rented from the Byrne
garage. Reuter- went along as driv-
err.
Mrs. Holland seems to have lacked
the confidence of her husbands fam
lily, for the pair were not long gone
when the police and sheriff depart
ments were advised that an elope-
ment was suspected.
Mrs. Hollands husband and father.
in-law did not care to discuss the mat
ter last night beyond verifying the
fact that the couple had eloped.
While not communicative IL did not
appear as If they planned vigorous
measures toward bringing the woman
back.
Rowe was a driver employed by the
Waldorf bakery on Strongs avenue,
and lived on Merchants row with a
woman alleged to be his wife. and
who is out of the city at present.
Mrs. Holland had not been long
married, and leaves after her a year
old baby boy.
In the prosecution of their search
Saturday night the officer and his
companions found Mrs. Holland and
Rowe together in room in a White
hall house.

BUYS N. Y. PRESS.
Frank a. hunsey Gets Paper For j
Roosevelt Organ.

New York, Sept. 16.-Frank A. Min
sey the newspaper and magazine pub
Usher. announced yesterday that he
he'd purchased The New York Press.
That paper contains a statement this
morning by It's previous owner, Hen
~ l. Einstein. announcing the change
oil rroprietorship. Mr.. Munsey, VINO
is ar ardent supporter of Col. Roose.
welt. will conduct The Press In the
future as a Roosevelt organ.
II had been known for some time
t,at MIR. Munsey had been trying 10
purchase The Press. and in state
ment from him which is also publish
ed in The Press today, he says that
he has been trying for years to get a
New York newspaper equipped with
an Associated Press franchise to COM
plete the chain of newspapers which
he already owned.
MIR. Munsey, in announcing that he
would support Col. Roosevelt in his
new organ, said that the present fight
was only n two party fight; that Pres
ident Taft had been eliminated, and
that the struggle for the Presidency
was between Gov. Wilson and Col.
Roosevelt.

Four years ago, and two years ago,
the Sitter advocated more publicity
concerning proposed laws to be enact
ed by the legislature. Today the Sill
ter has the same views. We shall
get much better laws If We let the
people have an opportunity to discuss
the measures before they are passed.
What objection is there to the legis-
lature getting all the bills introduced
and brought up to the third reading;
then taking a recess of a couple Of
weeks to give the people an opportu-
nifty to become acquainted with the
proposed legislation; then reassemb-
ling to pass or reject the various
bills. II this were done, do you be
lieye there would be SO much foolish
LEGISLATION enacted? Would there be
any salary grabs? Would there be
so much petty graft as under the pre-
sent system? Measures favoring an
individual but detrimental to the state
as whole could not theE be rushed
through whenever a favorable mo-
ment arrived. The lobbyists would
not be so effective; the corporations
might begin to worry; and the COM
mon people might think there Is ac-
tually a place for them in the state
which has for its motto, Freedom
and unity" Why not try this method
once?-Londonderry Sitter.
There is good deal of common
sense in what the Sitter says and al
so little error. There isn't any graft
ordinarily, in the Vermont Legislature,
as the editor of the Sitter will learn
after spending two or three months
at the capital. The real need is to
break through the wall of timidity
and over-conservatism that is com
monty the chief weakness of our Yer
mont legislatures. There is always
pressure brought to bear against meas
ures promising advance, while the
sentiment in favor is not active
enough to make itself felt. The rail-
road lobby, the telephone lobby, the
water power lobby, the normal school
lobby and several others will be on
hand and working. The members of
the legislature viii be almost to a
man, honest and patriotic citizens,
but with little experience in legisla-
tive work and they should go to Mont
pelier firm in the determination not
to let interested parties and their
clever agents talk them out of their
convictions or befog the real issues
by raising a lot of false ones. The
state needs a patriotic lobby at Mont
pelier to Offset the work of selfish in
terest, but ii is a hard thing to bring
about.

GIRL DID NOT eETRAY
Allen Gang captives on Way Back to
Virginia Deny Rumor.


Sidna Allen and his nephew. Wes-
ley Edwards, who took part in the
shooting up of the court at Hillsville,
Va, on March IA last, arrived at Gin
cinati, O., Sunday night from Des
Moines on their way back to the
scene of the crime. They were hand
cuffed and guarded by three stalwart
detectives, and accompanied by the
girl who unconsciously gave the po-
lice the clew to their hiding place.
Their trip from Des Moines. Ia,
where they were captured Saturday,
proved uneventful, Chief of Detec-
tives Baldwin stating that the prison
ers were ideal in behavior and far
from being in a dajected frame of
mind. With the exception OF Miss
Maude Iroler, whose love for Wesley
Edwards led the detectives to his
hiding place, the entire party appar-
emily relished their food, and even
the exchanging of jokes was not in
frequent on the trip.
The younger of the two prisoners
as well as the girl herself were so
licitous in having a rumor denied
that she had deliberately betrayed
her sweetheart. Wesley Edwards.
Detective Baldwin corroborated
their statements and told the story of
the events leading up to the capture
to prove that the girl was no traitor
to her lover. He said that when Ed
wards went away from Mount Airy,
N. c., the girls home, he had left
$50 with her to be used to join him
when he was safely secreted The
money was stolen and then replaced
and in this manner Miss Irolers
father learned of it. Detective Bald
win explained that he had two of his
men working on the Iroler farm, and
in this way learned of correspondence
between the girl and Edwards.

EASY FOR ROOSEVELT.
California Strongly for Him Accord
ing to Reports.

ing to Reports.
San Francisco, Sept. 15.-on board
the Roosevelt train, Col. Roosevelt
spent today resting-the first rest he
has taken since he started out on a
trip which breaks the record for speed
in the travels of Presidential candi-
date. He went to church this morn
ing with President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler of the University of Callfor-
MIA, and Hiram Johnson, Jr., son of
the candidate for Vice President He
dined this evening with ex-senator
Parlee and Clifford Pinchot Pinchot
is here to make speeches for the Pro
gressive State ticket, and Parlee is a
he'd hot Bull Moose. This evening at
10 o'clock the Colonel left for Los
Angeles.
A visit to this State at present gets
a strong impression that California
will go for Roosevelt hands down. Al
most every man one meets on the
street in a cigar store, in a barber
shop, is not only for the Colonel, but
shouting wildly for him. The atti-
tude of the Wilson men seems 10 be
characterized by the silence which
stamps the man who fears defeat. Pri
vately they will admit that they
expect Roosevelt TO carry the State.
OF Taft, as usual there is no men
ton.
The recent primaries in California
showed a large increase OF RoOse-
velt's strength over those held in the
Spring. in which he defeated Taft by
1900. The Progressives polled as
many votes in these new primaries
as did all the other candidates com
bined. Democrats and Republicans
included.
When Taft was nominated at Chic
ago the State elected all its delegates
on one ballot instead OF electing by
districts. but the National Committee
insisted on seating two Taft contest
ants from the Fourth District on the
ground that more votes had been cast
for Taft than Roosevelt I'm H. This
was denounced by Gov. johnson on
the floor of the convention as a steal.
but the Taft delegates were seated
In the recent primaries that district
went for the Bull Moose By ace.

PRESIDENT SIS YEARS OLD
He celebrates His Birthday With
Miss Horrey, His Aunt.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 15.-The pres
ident and Mrs. Taft returned to Bev-
erly tonight from Millbury where the
president celebrated his 55th birth
day with his aunt, Miss Della Torrey.
Miss Torrey, Miss Helen Taft, and
Mr.. and Mrs. c. p. Taft came back
with the president.
The president saw no visitors to-
night. White House officials, how
ever, declared, that report from
Washington that the president con-
templated asking Cor the resignation
of Comptroller of the Currency Law
renee o. Murray. had no basis in fact.
They said the president had not ask
ed for Mr.. Murray's resignation and
had no intention of doing so.

Vermont journalism loses strong
personality and a likable comrade in
the removal of Franklin FISHER, for
some years editor of the Burlington
Clipper. Mr.. FISHER returns to New
York city, this time to become asso-
ciated in the publication of a finan-
cial magazine of high standing Mr..
FISHER is a type of man whom 1t
would be well if Vermont could re-
tain.-Randolph Herald and News.
1t is with keen regret that the edi-
torial profession of the state learns
of the approaching departure of Mr..
FISHER. He came to the state only
three years ago but he has made good
here and has added to the strength
and achievement of the craft. The
Clipper has been splendidly edited
while in his hands and the readers OF
that paper will be most sorry to see
him go. That he will do equally well
in his new place his many friends
feel sure.

BENNINGTON, VT, SEPT. II, 1912

In last weeks issue of the Satur-
day Evening Post is an interesting
and valuable article on the impor-
lance of birds in keeping down in
sect pests. The writer figures that
insects destroy fully billion dollars
worth of food crops annually and that
mice and other small verfnin take
about as much more. The smaller
birds, if allowed to increase normally,
would in time practically wipe out
the insect pests, while hawks and
owls feed mostly on the small YER
min. The unthinking and unneces-
sary slaughter of birds and the des-
truction of their nests, probably adds
as much to the cost of living as any
one item.
