COL. OLIN SCOTT
OF BENNINGTON
Death at 81 of Manufacturer Whose
Machines Were Shipped All Over
the World.

BENNINGTON, April l29-Col. Olin
Scott, 81, proprietor of the Bennington
machine works and for so years one of
the prominent men of the town, died
yesterday from the general weaknesses
of old age
Col Scott, who was born Feb. 81.
1892, was identified with the industrial
life of Bennington for a longer period
than any other citizen. The machine
works were established in 1853. The
principal business was the manufacture
of powder and pulp mill machinery and
during his long career he built powder
machines for Russia, Japan, the Span
ish government in Cuba before the is
land became Independent, for the Eng
lish in South Africa and for different
South American republics.
The Bennington shops were especially
active during, the tivil war construct
ing mills which manufactured the pow
der for the federal government, and
Mr.. Scott made numerous trips through
out the country to assist in the recon
/ struction of plants. In 1869 he built
the Lake Superior powder mills at Mar
quette, Wis, and four years later be-
came general superintendent of the
Latin & Rand Powder company of New
York.
/ In 1882 he organized the Ohio Pow
der company Of Youngstown, o., and
! was for several years vice president of
the corporation. He also organized the
/ Pennsylvania Powder company of
! Scranton in 1884. Three years later he
disposed of his interests in PennsyI-
vania and Ohio and became consulting
engineer for the Latin & Rand and the
I DUPONT companies, a position he re-
tanned until 1894 In 1892 he secured
a controlling interest in the LasheI
Stocking company and conducted the
! business until about three years ago.
Col. Scott left two memorials to Ben
nington, the monument and statue of
Col. Seth Warner at old Bennington ded
icated in August, 1910, and the Ma
sonic temple completed only a few
months ago. He carried out every de
tail for the first gift and provided the
funds for the second.
He served the town for many years
as auditor and was a member of the
village board of trustees For foul
years he was captain of Company X
Y. \. G., and served two years on the
staff of Gov. Farnham. A brother anc
sister are the only near relatives sur
viving.

SAYS 1T WILL NOT
CUT THE HIGH PRICES
Murdock, Progressive, Called the Bill
Unreliable, Chaotic tumble of In
consistencies Mr.. Rainey Declared
1t Would Tighten Burdens.

WASHINGTON, April 29-GeneraI
debate on the Democratic tariff bill in
the House wound up last night in
final outburst Of oratorv. Democrats
spent the day landing the measure.
while alternately Republicans and Pro
gressives attacked its provisions.
The House, weary after a week of
tariff oratory, did not produce a nu-
merOus attendance and most of the
speeches of the day were made to
empty benches. However. Representa-
tive Payne, of New York, the ranking
Republican of the ways and means
committee and the father of the pres
en- tariff law, had a good-sized audience
on hand to listen to his denunciation of
the bill. He painted a vivid word pic
ture of ruined industry and impover.
ished labor which he presented as the
inevitable result of the Underwood bill.
Republicans vociferiously applauded
when he declared that the reduction in
the cost of living promised by the Dem
ocrats as result of the tariff revision
was q fallaey.
Mr.. Payne criticized the ways and
means committee for putting wool on
the free list, while leaving on the du-
table list the hair of the angora goats,
intimating that it was the work of Rep
resentative Garner, the Texas member
of the committee. FThere are 5000
600 goats raised in the United States
he said, and | understand that 2,999,-
COO of them are raised in Texas
Representative Murdock, the Progress
sive leader, criticized the tariff policy
of both Democrats and Republicans
He said the Underwood bill was an
unreliable chaotic tumble of inconsist
encies' and urged that the tariff be
placed in the hands of a non-partisan
commission.
Mr.. Rainey of Illinois declared that
the bill represented the dawn of new
era in the government 5 fiscal policy
"making lighter the burdens of taxes
upon consumers and compelling great
wealth to contribute its fair share
toward paying the government eX
penses. He said that no government
that had adopted an income tax system
and had given it a fair trial had re
pealed it. He explained the provision
of the tax in detail.

This appeal puts squarely before Pres

whether he will stand between the debtor
Central American republics and their
foreign creditors or turn them over to
Europeans and let the latter do as they
please.
The British government has been press

he wrote that if the Guatemalan govern

government of the United States to es-
cape its obligations in connection with

Warned California Legislators
Not to Offend Friendly
Nation
HAD NO NEW THEORY
OF THE STATES RIGHT
Advice in the Name of the President
Was All That Mr. Bryan Had to
Offer, Including Several Alternatives
to Passage of Proposed Bill.

SACRAMENTO, Calf. April %
California, in the fullness of her right
as state, may enact a rigid land
law barring Orientals from ownership.
but such action would be against the
earnest wish of the National admins
tration.
This is the substance of the message
William Jennings Bryan, secretary of
state and personal representative of
President Wilson, delivered Yesterday by
secret conference attended only by
GOV. Johnson. Lieut.. Gov Wallace and
the l20 mcmbers of the California leg
islaturc.
Sec. Bryan arrived in Sacramento
at o clock that morning. With his
consent, plans were laid for an imme-
diate hearing, and shortly after IL
o clock the first session of the confer
ence began.
Until the doors of the assembly
| chamber were closed and locked, See.
Bryan refused to give any inkling of
his message to anyone, and even at the
conference he spoke only after legisla-
tors had explained fully the public de-
mand for alien land legislation that
| brought about the present situation.
/ Those who expected See. Bryan to
expound new theory of state s
rights were disappointed, as were
/ those who expected predictions of war.
/ Advice in the name of President Will
/ son was all that Mr.. Bryan had to
/ offer. and the paramount question here
last night was whether such advice win
/ overcome the previously announced de-
termination of the progressive Repub
lican majority to enact an anti-alien
] laud-holding law along lines already
agreed upon.
See. Bryan reaffirmed the state s
right to act in a manner it saw fit,
but suggested several alternatives to
the passage of a bill restricting aliens
i" ineligible to citizenship, baslng ms
reasons on the broad foundation of pub
lie policy.
Briefly, these alternatives in the
order in which they were suggested
are as follows:
l. Delay immediate action and
allow the state department to try
to accomplish the ends desired by
means of a new treaty with Jap
an.
,. Delay immediate action and
appoint commission to investi-
gate the subject of alien land
ownership and act in conjunction
tion with the President in secur-
ing relief.
3. Enact a law similar to the
statute in Illinois, which permits
aliens to hold land for a period
not exceeding six years and ap-
plies alike to all aliens.
T. Enact law similar to the
federal statute governing land
ownership in the District of Co
lumhia, which is a general law,
I applying to all aliens.
Of these alternatives it may safely
be said according to leaders in the
legislature, that the last Two are ou'
of the question. Many Democrats fa
vor turning the matter over to th'
state department, while the progres
d sive Republican majority apparently
remains unchanged in its support of
bin that would apply its restriction
to orientals alone.
