NORTH VILLAGE IS
TO CELEBRATE ON
JULY Fourth
Parade with Elaborate Floats
and Patriotic Exercises
FIRE WORKS IN THE EVENING
Program of Sports, Game of Base
ball and Music by the Band
viii Round Out the Day.

If enthusiastic interest in a local
Fourth of July celebration means a
loyal, civic spirit, North Bennington
must be given full credit for that
very desirable spirit.
Last year the North Bennington
celebration was pronounced sue
cess, both in size and completeness,
but this year it will be still bigger
and better. Last years success has
led to more liberal contributions this
year, with the result that the various
committees have more funds with
which to work and they are planning
on more elaborate features through
out. In addition to this, everyone is
taking hold and doing his part
which is really what makes for sue
cess in an enterprise of this sort.
The parade and the fire works are
perhaps the two largest individual
items in the celebration, and both of
these are to be much larger and bet
ter than last year There will be a
number of new features in the par
ade in the way of floats and other at
fractions The committee has secur-
ed male quartette for the morning
exercises, which follow the parade.
and there will be singing of patriotic
songs before and after the address,
which will be held on the graded
school grounds.
The sports committee are planning
on some interesting sports as well as
some of the fun making kind, and
with a baseball game, the band con
cert and the elaborate evening dis
play of fireworks the day will be well
filled.
A unique part of the day is that
everything is free. The celebration
is made possible through voluntary
subscriptions from citizens of North
Bennington, who will gladly contri-
butte in this way for the good of the
community at large. thus giving to
the public at little or no cost a good
celebration at home. Such a plan
cannot fail to help the community. in
which it is executed Since such
elaborate plans are made for the eel
ebration. the advertising committee
is making an effort to see that the
greatest possible number of people
profit by the celebration. With this
in view large posters have been put
out and advertising of other kinds is
being done.
A commendable part of the plans
is the fact that provision has been
made for an orderly day. Everyone
is welcome, but no useless noises or
rowdying will be permitted There
will be officers on hand to see to
this.

WILLIAMS SEEKS 100000
President Garfield at Commencement
Tells Endowment Plans.

Williamstown, Mass, June 25.-
At the alumni luncheon following
the commencement exercises at Will
llams College today President Harry
A. Garfield announced that the col
lege would attempt to obtain an en-
dowment fund of 100000. Half of
the first million appeared to be in
sight, he said The General Educa-
ton Board of New York, Rockefeller
Foundation, had offered 100000
when the college should raise $780,
geo, Mrs. Russell Sage had contribut-
ed $4,000, and 100000 more had
been promised conditionaly. To
this, President Garfield said. $780,
600 might be added from an estate
over which litigation recently end
ed.
The need for $1,000,000, DR.. Gar
field said, was immediate, as that
sum would hardly do more than
make up the annual deficit, and a
second million must be had to do
justice by the teaching force and the
future. The college, he pointed out,
had prospered by buildings present
ed, but giving for endowment had
not been popular and the faculty as
result had been kept on low pay
President Garfield said that while
the salaries OF the teachers at Will
liams had increased more than $780,
900 in the last twelve years, the
maximum paid to any professor was
only $500 in excess of the amount
paid in 1900, and the largest amount
now received by any professor was
$4,000. The President believed il
desirable TO raise this maximum at
once to $4,000, with corresponding
increases to all professors and as
sistant professors.
Williams graduated 115 young
men with the degree of bachelor of
arts. Among the honorary degrees
conferred were these. Doctor of
Laws, Charles B. Wheeler. '73, of
Buffalo. Justice of the New York

VERMONT AUTO LIST
Automobile Club Year Book Is Now
Out.

Automobiles and others have
been eagerly awaiting and will glad
ly welcome the annual Year Book of
the Automobile Club of Vermont,
which is now being distributed by S.
S. Ballard of Montpelier, the secre-
tary and treasurer of the club.
The book contains the usual well
known features, but the form has
been changed in some respects for
the better convenience of users.
The highest registered number
June Is was 5000, an increase of
1900 over the registrations of a year
ago. There is also an increase in
the number of motorcycle owners
and automobile dealers. This is evil
dence of the growing popularity of
the automobile and assures a stead
lily increasing fund to be applied to
the improvement of Vermont high
ways
The secondary list of automobiles
in the Year Book has the cars list
ed under the towns where the own.
ers reside, with the towns arranged
in alphabetical order instead of be-
ing divided by counties as hereto
fore. This makes examination and
Identification easier for all users of
the book and especially for strang-
ers.
The book also contains a carefully
prepared and accurate highway map
of the state which will be of ad-
vantage to every person using an au-
tomobile.
Only members of the Automobile
Club of Vermont are entitled to a
copy of the book, and the number
OF such members is steadily increas-
ing Membership in the club carries
with it not only the book now being
distributed but a handsome brass
and enamel club emblem, member
ship in the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION and subscription to the Of
fetal magazine, The American Mo-
torist. The receipts from member
ship fees and annual dues are appli-
ed to carrying on the work of the
club, and that organization has al
ready accomplished much in secur-
ing improved highway legislation,
better laws for the regulation of au-
tomobiles and use of the highways,
the placing of hundreds of direction
and danger signs on important high
ways all over the state, publicity for
the state in other ways than those
directly connected with automobile
affairs and furnishing information
to tourist visitors.

A HUNDRED
Nine Victims of Buffalo ExplO-
sion Died Yesterday
ANOTHER SCORE MISSING
At Least Twenty Injured in Hospi-
tai With Little Hope for Ulti-
mate Recovery.

Buffalo, N Y, June 25.-With II
known to be dead, Is missing and a
score in hospitals for whose recov-
cry no hope is entertained, the ulti-
mate total of the victims of the fire
and explosion that wrecked the big
plant of the Hustled Milling and Ele-
waiting company Tuesday will likely
exceed half a hundred. Nine of the
60 taken to hospitals succumbed OF
their injuries today.
The police working with company

were in the mill at the time of the
explosion and the police feel certain
that they persisted,
F'iremen poured tons of water on
the smouldering ruins all day and to-
night it is believed that they will
have sufficiently cooled off by morn

ing made. A wrecking company has
been engaged to remove the mass of
twisted steel and torn concrete

are believed to be. Two bodies are
visible. being in an elevated position,
but the intense heat radiating from
the debris baked all efforts to reach
them.
The police department instructed
an investigation into the fire horror
and will report its findings to the
district attorney. Many of the sur
vivors have been questioned and
their statements will be submitted to
the county prosecutor.
The bodies recovered today were
so badly charred that Identification
was impossible.
Tony Kruger and William Wilkow-
sky, both of whom were frightfully
burned, died at the Emergency hos
pital.
High up in a shattered cupola in
the mill two companies of fremen
are battling to recover two and pos
sibly more bodies of dead men. From
the upper windows of the concrete
section of the elevator and from the
Elk street viaduct the bodies are
plainly visible and crowds are watch
ing the fremen creeping steadily tow

from the burning ruins below make
the recovery of the bodies difficult.
Just how many bodies are in the

Two bodies can be seen stretched
out across the floor of enc of the
balconies No men were at work in
the cupola and it is believed those

Firemen poured streams of water
on the ruins all night and this morn
ing but the debris is piled so high
that it will be days before 1t can be
cleared and a complete search made.
This and the nature of the injuries
OF the victims some of whom may
live for days with no ultimate hope
OF recovery, make any estimate of
the number of explosion victims
mere speculation.

Advises DR.. Alsberg

Washington, June 23.-Some hot
weather "don'ts" were issued today
by Dr. Carl Alsberg, who succeeded
DIR. Harvey w. Wiley as chief of the
United States Bureau of Chemistry
DIR. Alsberg would abolish the Their
mometer, because of its dispiriting
influence on the minds of perspiring
men and women. Here are his
"don'ts":
Don't eat to excess.
Don't wear too many clothes.
Don't drink ice cold beverages.
Don't look at the thermometer and
keep thinking how hot it is.
Iced drinks, he says, disorder the
stomach The secret of keeping cool
in the dog days, according to the doc
tor, lies largely in temperate eating,
taking just enough sustenance to
keep off the pangs of hunger.

WITNESS ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Brooding Over Murder Trial Cause
of Rash Act

Keene, N. H., Wednesday, June 25.
William G. Adams, about &c, at
tempted suicide by cutting his throat
from ear to ear about 10 O'clock this
morning at his home on the Brattle-
boro road in Hinsdale. Adams was
alone in the house with the excep-
ton of his sister, Miss Carrie Adams,
and he gave her no warning what
ever. An unusual noise in his bed
chamber attracted Miss Adams and
she found her brother lying on the
floor with a hideous cash in his
throat from which blood was pouring
He is not expected to recover, al
though the doctor says that he has
bare chance.
1t is believed that the deed was the
result of brooding over the murder of
j. Stewart Hamilton ON February S.
Hamilton was as intimate friend and
boarded with Mr.. Adams and his sis
ter, by whom he was greatly admir-
ed. Mr.. Adams was very retiring
young man and the tragic murder
of Hamilton was terrible blow to
him. This and the anticipation of the
prominent part he must take in the
murder trial which is now on in the
county court at Keene are believed
TO have upset his mental balance.
