SENATE OVERRIDES
GOVERNORS VETO
And Passed the Bill Giving State Aid
To the Brattleboro Re-
treat.

The Senate yesterday afternoon passed
over Governor Fletcher's veto the bill
to appropriate money for the Brattle-
boro Retreat; killed the bill relating to
the measure Of wood and lumber, and
ordered to a third reading the bill to
create a board of education.
When the Brattleboro Retreat bill
came up Senator Barber claimed the
state no longer permitted feeble minded
or insane poor to be auctioned off to
the lowest bidder; it has record in
caring for her poor of which she may
well be proud. Shall she retract rec
ord which has required half century
to upbuild? II is taking mighty stride
backward to state that we have no con
troll over our charitable institutions. The
Brattleboro Retreat has no shares and
pays no dividends. The test which de-
termines the character of an institution
is its purpose. The purpose Of the re
treat is beneyolence and charity.
Senator Barber quoted from the will
which made the retreat possible "to
create a home for the insane persons OF
Vermont" $4,000 in trust, the trustees
10 fill all vacancies, etc. In 1885 the
was dedicated to a public serv
ice under the name of .'The Vermont
Asylum for the Insane" which name it
Kept until the Waterbury asylum was

HOMES ON OTHERS LANDS.
Many workingmen May Lose Their Saw
ings of Years.

Rutland Feb l2.--There was hear.
ing before Judge Henry L. Clark of Cas-
tleton as special master in this city yes
terday to decide the value OF certain
mortgages in case which is Of greater
interest to the general public than any
other chancery proceeding which has
been filed in Rutland county court in
many years. 1t involves the ownership
of homes which represent the savings of
years on the part Of many workingmen
and women. $. p. Il Fl. T.. Curtis of this
city foreclose on Herbert n. Wander
worker, formerly of Glens Falls, n. Y,
now fugitive from justice, and Is dwell
ling house owners in this city. A war
rant for the arrest of Nanderworker on
the charge Of selling mortgaged property
was issued by States Attorney b. l..
Stafford some time ago but he has since
been in the state OF Washington.
A few years ago Vanderworker bought
OF the Curtis firm tract of land near
the fair grounds in this city which he
cut into building lots, naming the plot
Marble City park. He had big sale,
hiring the city band TO boom things and
lots sold readily. Thinking they had
clear titles his customers built homes ON
the lots. Then the Curtis mortgages
came to light but by the time the swindle
was known Nanderworker had left the
state Most OF the householders are
liable to lose their property.

War and Navy Department Officials
in Washington To-day.

Washington, d. c., Feb. l2.--Rear Ad
mifal Badger, commanding the Atlantic
fleet at Guantanamo, will select two ad
ditional battleships to go to Vera Cruz
Mexico. This was determined upon at
an early conference to-day between the
officials of the state, war and navy de-
partments. The two ships were expected
to leave before noon.
The decision to send two additional
warships to the Mexican waters was
reached at midnight conference at
the White House between President Taft,
Secretaries Knox. Stimson and Meyer
and the officers OF the army and navy.
This viii bring the total number Of
American battleships at Veru Cruz har-
Dor to three.
The dreadnought Virginia is headed
for Tampco, the Georgia is on the way
to Vera Cruz on the Pacific side, the
Colorado and South Dakota are under
orders for Mexican ports and others may
follow. Rear Admiral Sutherland is in
charge of the Pacific side and Rear Adj
miral Winston of the gulf coast.
The quartermaster generals depart
ment reported that arrangements were
for sending two army trans
ports from Newport News Further
steps depend upon to-day's developments
in Mexico. All the measures taken are
merely precautionary. The officials, from
the president down, see no ground yet

en- Service Last Evening.

Rt. Rev. William Farrar Weeks oi
Shelburne. who was recently elevated
to the office of coadjutor bishop of the
Vermont Episcopal diocese, made his
first visitation to the Church of the Good
Shepherd last evening. Bishop Weeks
assisted the rector, Rev. W. J. NJ.
Beattie. in the services and preached a
Lenten homily on Temptation. A large
congregation listened to his address and
after the services, many took advan-
tage of the opportunity to become ae-
quainted with the bishop. The vested
choir was present. The service was the
first Of a series Of Lenten services to be
held every Tuesday evening. when
special preachers from elsewhere in the
diocese are TO be present.
The bishop returned 10 Burlington to-
day. IL is likely that ne will move to
Montpelier and there make his head
quarters. although Bishop Hall viii re-
main in Burlington and Burlington will
continue to he the see city of the diocese
in the event Of Bishop Weeks succession.
II the latter decides to take up his res

YOUNG PEOPLES NIGHT.
To Be Observed at the Stewart Meetings
This Evening.

In connection with the Stewart meet
ings that are being held at the Heddine
Methodist church tonight will be young
peoples night" and every boy and girl
in Barre is invited to attend. Every
body welcome.
The Stewart meetings are we'll at
tended and are growing in interest. Yes
terday afternoon a good company gath
cred at 3 o'clock. Mr.. Stewart led in
song and gave finely rendered solo. DIR.
Stewart took for his theme that part
of Christ's sermon on the mount when
He said: ''Ye are the light of the
world"
The speaker said that If we do the
viii of Christ let patience have her per-
feet work, and although there may not
seem to be things happening for good,
yet quietly good may be happening all
the while 1t is not always the speetae-
ular that counts most for good. People
may be looking for that and not realize
that the sensible way is without sensa-
tionalism and excitement.
Last evening another good congrega-
tion attended at 1880. The solo, My
Only Song Is Jesus" held the close at
tention OF everyone and splendidly pre-
pared the way for great discourse on
"The Naturalness Of the Supernatural"
This is one of series of three or four
sermons that DIR. Stewart proposes to
preach while in Barre. If the others
are like the one delivered last evening
those who are able to attend these meet
ings ought not to miss the opportunity.
The speaker declared that Gods laws
are parallel and so natural that We
overlook the divine element in them just
because of their simplicity. On the
other hand, men have too often pre-
,ented the gospel plan with so many
to be surmounted in its at
as to discourage many from
attempting to seek it.
It is simple, natural course that
ihould appeal to men. First. they should |
.et on good terms with God and the |
,reat trouble with many men is that |
hey are not on good terms with God. /
iod wants men to be reeonciled to Him. /
elf and to bring this about He mani I
ested much of His glory to men by the
erson of His son, Jesus Christ, on the
arth. God is not far from but near those
eady to seek Him. As Helen Keller,
lind and deaf. shut in from the light as
1ost people are privileged to see it and
0 know the truth, was taught by the
reat Phillips Brooks how to know God
nd she said: 81 knew Him all the time
ut did not before know His name" so
simple. natural way we should know
cd and love Him. Ii
1t was a discourse that was worthy {

BUT TOUCH OF A MATCH
All That Is Needed to Start General
Revolution.

Washington, Feb. l2.-Confdential de.
spatches from Mexico. which reached
Washington last night, indicated that the
regular army in the state of Chihuahua
has deserted President Madero, that it
needs but touch of the match of revo-
luton, and that it is prepared to 90 over
almost to man to Felix Diaz.
This was the most alarming bit of
information that has filtered into Wash
ington since Diaz engineered his coup
detat Sunday. Other states of Mexico,
it is feared by officials, may also join
the revolt and precipitate situation far
more serious than the present precarious
conditions confronting Madero.
According to the information received
here, the prospects of revolution in Chi
huahua are so grave that its governor is
prepared to flee at any moment.
He is declared to be convinced that the
friends of Diaz are strong enough to
oyerturn his own forces at any time and
that revolution there is imminent There
are 5000 regulars in Chihuahua, says
the despatch received last night, all of
whom are believed to be devoted to the
cause of Diaz, and 5000 volunteers, most
of whom can be counted to remain 10y
al to Madero.
The experience Of the regulars, how
ever is counted upon by the followers Of
the latest leader of the revolution to
offset the difference in numbers, and the
governor is apparently convinced that his
are no match for the soldiers
Of the republic.
Leaders of the Diaz faction in Chihua
hua claim, according to des, atches re-
,eived here, that at least | 200 armed
men are ready to join the regulars when
hey revolt. They expect to carry into
amp with them not only these 1000
men. but all the field pieces and maehiue
runs in the possession of the regulars

eral Had a Sensational
Escape

Mexico City. Feb. l2.The fedora
troops re-opened the battle with the
rebels on the streets of the city early
this morning with light artillery fire
and the action soon became general, ar
tilery on both sides being brought into
play. The infantry also took part.
The rebels under Diaz began to ad-
vance upon the national palace at Q
o'clock this morning, employing heavier
cannon than yesterday. They directed
their fire toward the palace and higher
buildings in the center of the business
district, where the federal guns We're
mounted. The contendng forces occit-
pied approximately the same position as
yesterday. Diaz and his followers spent
the night in fortifying the palace, and
the federal force strengthened the rein
forcements of artillery and infantry.
Soldiers slept on the pavements and SEN
tinels challenged all on the streets.
Shortly after the firing began the
Mutual Life Insurance company's build
ing was set on fire by a shell from the
rebel field guns. The building was a
four-story structure of concrete.

drawn battle in the heart of the city

We're counted in the hundreds.

DIR. X. II. McCrosson of Lincoln, Neb.,

The escape of Consul general Arnold
Shanklin and staff from the American
consulate building during the battle was
sensational. They broke down the doors
and made their way through an adjoin-
ing building into the street at moment
free from rifle fire As they fed they
carried wounded man who had been
brought into the consulate building for
temporary treatment.
At the close of Yesterdays battle,
Senior De La Barra sent a message to
President Madero saying: in the name
OF humanity and as Mexican. who is
free of all political and revolutionary
parties, | wish to offer my services in
any way possible to effect peace with
out further bloodshed."
Madero replied, thanking him. but de.
claring that no terms other than an un-
conditional surrender could be made
with Diaz.
