REPORTED SETTLED
Cablegram to Cook, Watkins & Co.
Says That : Resumed Work in
Gram .nts Monday.

A cable received al the Barre
offices of = Watkins q Co., yester'
day fror ranch Office in Aberdeen,
Scotlan. : seys the information that

ers c Scottish granite city termi-
nate : Saturday, the employees re-
tur 5 10 the shops Monday. Details
Of ~ agreement reached between the
manufacturers and the employees were
not included in the message.
What is locally anticipated to be an
amicabe and satisfactory settlement to
both factions marks the end of labor
difficulties that have affected the Scotch
granite center for nearly ten weeks. Be
cause OF the fact that many of the Barre
granite workers came from Aberdeen,
more than passing interest in the
strike has been manifested hereabouts.
In the middle of the present month, a
letter published in the Aberdeen Even
ing Express which advocated the whole
sale emigration of granite workers to
America caused considerable comment
in Barre, where it was reprinted, and by
May 10 mass meeting OF labor men at
polishers' hall voted to extend pecuniary
assistance 10 their fellow workers in the
old country, so.called.
committee formed was instrumental
in circulating subscription papers
through the manufacturing districts and
in comparatively short time sizeable
fund had been cabled to Aberdeen. The
generous response on the part of local
granite workers was in sense an act
Of reparation. for back in 1892 the Scot
tish granite workers subscribed $500 to
aid the Barre workers during the pro-
cnged lockout OF that year.
The termination of the Aberdeen
strike marks the end of the most con-
.entious struggles between the mannfac-
.ures and granite workers seen there in
ione years.

TO TRAP PRES. WOOD

Were Put on the Stand To-day in
the Dynamite Planting" Case.

Boston, May 2s. Daniel Mahoney
general man, and Charles I. Boivin,
chauffeur for President William NJ
Wood of the American Woolen company
were called as state witnesses to-day in
the trial of Wood, Frederick L. Atteax

plant dynamite in Lawrence. They
were asked to tell what took place be-
fore and after the conference at Woods
home in Andover the night of January
10, 1912, the night John J. Breen and
Collins admit planting the explosive.
In the cross examination of the pre-
yious witness, the defense sought to
show that the conference was called pri-
marily for the purpose OF passing upon
a letter which Pres, Wood addressed to
strikers and not, as the prosecution al
leges, in furtherance Of a dynamite
plot The witnesses said that Wood,
Atteaux and several mill agents were
present.
The district attorney sought unsuc-
cessfully to learn from Boivin something
as to the whereabouts of Orville Redding,
a former chauffeur of Pres. Wood, who
was sought as witness.
Judge Chandler of Lawrence court
of justice, told of attending confer
ence at Pres. Woods home in Boston
when Wood was informed by telephone
that warrant was out for his arrest
He heard Wood say in surprise that he
didn't know anything about dynamite,
never saw dynamite, would not know
stick Of it if he saw it and you can tell
the newspapers so.' Chandler could not
recall any comment made by Atteaux.

CONSIDERABLE FAME
Well-Known Peer Died To-
day in London After
Short Illness

London, May 2s.--Lord Avebury died
to-day of heart disease, after short
illness, at the age of 10. Before his
elevation to the peerage, he was known
as Sir John Lubbock, under which name
he was probably the most popular man
among the working people OF the British
Isles, for he in 1871, as a member Of
Parliament, succeeded in having the
hank holidays act passed, adding four
national holidays yearly. Some of Lord
Avebury's works, especially on finance
and education, have been translated in
to nearly all the worlds languages.

SEVERAL CLASHES
HAVE TAKEN PLACE
Outbreak Between Bulgaria

at Any Time

Salonika, May 2S.-fhe most severe
tension still exists between the Greek
and Bulgarian armies facing each other
some distance north Of this city. Sev.
eral clashes occurred yesterday and to-
day, and the Greeks accuse the Bulgar'
ians Of being the aggressors.
The Bulgarian commanders apparently
are preparing to attack Eleftheria with
view to gaining complete occupation
of the dominant position of Mount Pang-
haion.
The belief of the Greek generals is
that the Bulgarians are Systematically
creating the Incidents and endeavoring
to drive the Greeks toward the sea and
seize the operations made by them.

the amount of 100000, as the only SO.
luton Of the financial difficulties of the
road. The immediate cause of the re-
ceiyership was the maturing on June
OF short time notes issued by the rail
road for S2,250,000, which bear five per
cent. interest.
Attorneys Frederick w. Lehman and
Charles Nagel, representing certain cred
itors, said they preferred to have as re-
ceivers men who were in no way connect
ed with the railroad, thus opposing the
appointment of President Winehell and
of Mr.. West, whose trust company has
looked after many of the financial affairs
of the road. The objections of Attor-
neys Lehman and Nagel did not prevail
with the court, who appointed Mr.. West
and President Winchell receivers for the
road Thos T. Fauntleroy OF st. Louis
was appointed special commissioner to
represent the court in the future pro-
ceedings.
The North American company is un.
derstood to hold as collateral on its loan
of $400,000 all the first mortgage bonds
on the railroads federal land grant of

road company, a subsidiary of the Frisco.
The financial difficulties of the railroad
are of long standing and are attributed
in part to the southwestern floods of
1911 and 1912, in which the railroad sus-
tanned severe losses; to the increased
wages of railway employees and to the
nigh price of money. The ownership of
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. it is stat

SCHOOLS MENAcED BY FIRE.
United States Bureau of Education
Makes Complaint.

Surprisingly little provision for fire
proof school buildings is found in recent
school legislation reported to the United
States bureau OF education. Notwith-
standing the Collinwood fire horror OF
five years ago, and notwithstanding the
wonderful development in schoolhouse
architecture, which has made possible
buildings that are artistic as well as
safe, cities and towns in almost every
section of the United States continue TO
put up gingerbread schoolhouses and
fire traps that are constant menace
to the lives of school children.
Ohio is the one state in the union that
has really complete system of control
of safe schoolhouse design and eonstrue-
ton, according to table of state regu-
lations prepared by Frank Irving Cooper,
the Boston architect, although several
other states. notably Massachusetts and
Kansas, are credited with adequate
laws against the fire peril. In Ohio,
where the Collinwood holocaust has not
been forgotten, large corps of inspect
ors enforces a school. l.building code that
assures safety, at least as far as new
buildings are concerned.

oblivious of the fire risk in schools. "In-
