corning two cars OF timbers which
we're supposed TO have been shipped

waiting for them, he came here to finG
that one car was still in the yard and
the other was shipped out early last

The fact that FIVE other cars, which

DEMOCRATIC BIG
GUNS TO STAND
BY WILSON
Will Have Support For His
Tariff Plan
TO ACCEPT FREE WOOL
Also Wilson's Sugar Plan-They Get
Leave to Debate the Other
Items

Washington, April 10.-The Senate's
attitude toward President wilson an
the new tariff bill became fairly Wen
defined today after another meeting
of the democratic members of the n
nance committee. Briefly, the Senate
committee will agree to accept the
view of the president and the House as
to free wool and one cent sugar with
the free in three years attachment, Dut
it will exercise it's right to amend 9TH
er schedules and provisions of the tar
if bill as it thinks best.
The conference with the president
YESTERDAY brought a working agree
ment under which both the executive
and the Senate leaders have yielded
|certain points. The Senate democrats
no not propose to make any general
increase in the rates of the tariff bill,
or to make the Senate liable to the
charge of having impeded the efforts
| of the president and the House tow
lard tariff reform.
Changes will be made in many sche-
dulles, however, the work having been
started today with consideration OF
| the first schedule in the bill. Some of
| the changes regarded as necessary by
| the Senate leaders may be carried
over TO he House and put into the bill
| In the democratic caucus still in prog
ress there.
The Senate leaders reserve the full
right to make changes after the bill
reaches the Senate, when they consid
er them necessary to make the tariff
revision more equitable and scientific.
When the metal schedule was taken
up Representative Webb of North Car
blina, and others tried hard to get
deduction in the rate on card clothing
b material used on the machines of
textile manufacturers. The present
aw taxes card clothing IS per cent
hnd the pending bill would make it
10 per cent. Representative Under
wood said tonight he thought the eau
ius would be almost through with the
pill by Saturday night and that the
House would pass the bill before the
rst of May
Representative Broussard will pre-
ent an amendment when the sugar
chedule is taken up tomorrow.

in your paper of recent date that my
husband has posted me, wish to state
a few facts in regard to the matter.
In the first place ! have not had his
bed for the past Is years and as for
board, | have always earned my own

est labor, so do not see as | have left
either his bed or his board.
On the 22nd of last November by
mutual consent, we moved to the Bar

AS to getting trusted on his account,
| never did yet and it is too late to
try. | always paid my bills by hard
work and / should be afraid to ask
Gibson, Fay, Robinson, Sausvule, Hour

know him too well, and they will all
testify to my not owing them a penny.

P RtyENT DAMAGE
I'm TIMES OF
HIGH WATER
Meeting Of Local Officials To
Devise Plans
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Committee Appointed from Three
Boards to Confer with Property
Owner

There was meeting at the town
headquarters Thursday afternoon OF
the street committee from the board
of trustees, committee from the
board of trustees of the Bennington
Graded school district and the select
men. The meeting was held for the
purpose of devising some method OF
combining the water of the Walloomsac
within its couse in time of freshet and
thus preventing damage to streets and
other public property. The school
trustees are involved for the reason
that the high water two weeks ago did
considerable damage in the graded
school yard.
There has for some time existed a
difference of opinion regarding the re-
sponsibility in the case. The village
trustees are of the opinion that the
town should care for the river in so
far as high water may cause damage
TO highways The selectmen insist that
they have received a legal opinion from
a source which they consider thorough
ly reliable to the effect that they are
not responsible for damage to high
ways inside the village limits.
The problem was discussed in detail
and at the close of the meeting COM
mite was appointed consisting of Ed
ward II. Holden from the board of
trustees, H. w. Webster of the school
board and r. f. Healy representing the
selectmen, who are TO confer with Alex
ander j. Cooper for the purpose of as
pertaining what arrangements can be
made for the construction of retaining
work along the north bank of the riv-
er parallel to Scott street.
