COL, OL|N SCOTT IS
DEAD At AGE Of
81 YEARS
Was Longest In Business Here
of Any Man
FOR NEARLY 60 YEARS
Great Benefactor to the Town and
Had Given Money For Scores
of objects.

Col Oln Scott, proprietor of the
Bennington Machine works and life
long resident of the town of Ben
nington, passed away this fore
noon at his home on Pleasant street
While he had been physically feeble
for some months his mental faculties,
Notwithstanding his more than four
score years, were retained remark
ably intact until his final illness
which was of short duration. No or
ganic disease came to him and the
end, so far as his physician could
determine, was due to nervous
breakdown incident to old age,
There are few living citizens, per-
haps no other, who have been identi-
fled with the industrial life of Ben
nington for longer period of years
than Colonel Scott. The business
which he was conducting at the time
of his final illness was established
in 1858. For more than half cen
fury the industry, while not one OF
the largest in Bennington, has been
a prominent factor in the community.
Originally established as a foundry
it later developed into factory for
the manufacture of powder mill and
pulp mill machinery. During the
years preceding, while the struggle
was in progress, and Immediately
following the civil war and before
the use of nitro powders became gen.
eral, the Bennington Machine works
acquired a national importance and
almost worldwide reputation. Pow
der mills built at the Bennington
Machine work, in accordance with
the patents developed by its owner,
were for years known to be the SAT-
est machines produced for this dan
gerous business. Machines from the
Bennington plant have been shipped
to every continent on the globe.
Colonel Scott took commendable
pride in the international reputa,
ton made by his comparatively lit
tie plant which has built powder
machines for the czar of Russia, the
mikado of Japan, for the Spanish
government in Cuba before the
island became independent. for the
bh6HsH III oouth ANNA at tuc ulh0
of the Boer war and for different
South American republics.
The Bennington shops were especi-
ally active during the civil war in
the construction of mills which man
ufactured the power for the federal
government and the proprietor made
numerous trips through the country
to assist in the Reconstruction of ex-
Using powder machinery. After the
close of the war he ceased to confine
his energies exclusively to manufac-
turing and became an organizer Of
powder manufacturing companies.
In 1869 he built the Lake Superior
powder mills at Marquette, Wis, and
four years later he became superin-

FRIEDMAN PLANS
INSTITUTES IN
SO STATES
Sale of His Treatment Has
Been Arranged
WILL BE FREE TO POOR
Arrangements VIII Be Pushed in Or
der to Favor Those Who Want
the Treatment.

New York, April 2S.-Dr. Arthur
NJ Simpson of the Public Health
Service of the Federal Govern
ment left late last night for Wash
ington to report to Surgeon General
Rupert Blue on the sale of the Amer
lean rights by DR.. Friedrich Franz
Friedman of his turtle vaccine for
consumption.
DIR. Simpson refused to discuss
yesterday his visit to Washington.
He has been the representative here
for the Government in the tests OF
the Friedman preparation, and
these have not yet been completed.
The Health Service of the Govern
ment, it is understood, will continue
to take an interest in the tests, and
it is not believed that the sale will
prevent the Government from check
ing up the cases treated.
Dr. Friedman gave second treat
ment yesterday to five patients
whom he had treated at the Mount
Sinai Hospital six weeks ago. They
are suffering from various tubercular
affections OF the joints. He did not
treat any pulmonary cases. He said
yesterday that the pulmonary patti
ents were not yet ready for second
treatment.
When DR.. Friedman arrived at
the Hotel Ansonia from the hospital
he was accompanied by Morris Ellis
ner of the firm of Eiener-Mendelsohn
Company, the purchasers of the
American rights to his preparation
He was smiling and appeared happy
He spent the day with Mr.. Eisner
going over the plans for treating the
patients in the Institutes to be estab'
lished by the company in the various
states.
Dr. Friedman refused yesterday
to discuss the sale of his treatment
Morris Elisner also refused TO com
ment on the purchase. Mr.. Eisner
said that he would have a statement
ready for the public today in which
further details of the plans of his
company would be given to the pub
lie.
The associates of DR.. Friedman
said yesterday that an effort would
be made to establish Friedman in
stitutes in as many of the States OF
the Union as possible. and that lib
eral provisions would be made for
giving free treatment to the poor.
Dr. Friedman was greatly disturb
ed by the publication of statement
in several of the newspapers that he
had vetoed plan to give free treat
ment TO the poor. He said that he
had always stood for a system which
would enable the poor to receive
treatment, and that the poor would
receive ample care under the provis-
ions of the sale of his cure.

SUNDAY FLYER IS
DITCHED NEAR
BELDEN'S
Fast Train on Rutland Jumped
Rails
K PASSENGERS INJURED
One ParIor Car Turned Over on Its
Side and Five Cars Off
the Iron.

Middlebury, April 27.-Six persons
were injured, one seriously, when the
northbound flyer, running about 20
minutes late, left the rails a short dis
lance north of the station at Beldenis,
in the town of New Haven, o'clock
this evening. Five cars and the tend
er of the engine were derailed and
ploughed along on the ties for dis
lance of nearly 800 yards. The engine
passed over the New Haven river
bridge before the tender left the
rails. The injured were all in a steel
Pullman chair car which tipped over
on its side and lies about 10 feet
from the rails on the slope OF a rs
foot embankment.
The injured, who were taken to
Burlington hospital on the south
bound flyer, which stopped north of
the wreck on account of the accident
were Miss Clara Eunger of New
York city, seriously injured on the
left leg and back of the head; Miss
E. Derrick of st. Adams, injured on
left leg and right side; Mrs. George
r. Henderson of Montclair, N. J.,
head, back and left arm injured;
Charles NJ. Williams of New York
city, scalp wounds; o. s. Bresley of
Burlington, left side and head injur-
ed; Miss NJ A. Duisseau of Seceao,
p. O., injured about the back and
head. The latters scream attracted
the attention of Baggageman A. M.
Prentiss of Rutland who rescued her
through a window. In the Pullman
in which the persons injured were
riding were Is passengers, seven wo-
men, four children and four men.
The train, which was in charge of
Conductor Edward WEIGH and Engin-
eer George Kennedy, both of Rut-
land, left Middlebury about 20
minutes late and was making I'D
time. 1t is estimated that the train
was travelling about 40-miles an hour
when the accident occurred. The
cause of the accident is unknown
though it may have been caused by
spreading rails. The cars were
twisted across the track and the
rails and ties badly torn up. Two of
the cars remained on the bridge over
the New Haven river which is SO
feet from the water and $50 feet
long. The guard rails probably pre-
vented these cars from going into the
river. The cars derailed were a
combination baggage, two day coach
es and two Pullmans. Several per-
sons in the day coaches received
slight injuries and all of the rs pas
sengers on the train were severely
shaken up and thrown about.

AUSTRIAN FORCES START
Will Send Troops to Drive Out
Montenegrlns.

London, Monday, Arpil 2s.-Spe-
cial Importance attaches to the meet
ing OF the Ambassadors today, as It
is understood that Austria's full
statement in regard to Scutari will
be discussed.
London, Monday, April 27.-An
Austrian naval division has left
Trieste with 10000 troops with the
intention Of occupying Antivari,
Dulcigno, and San Giovanni di Medua
and advancing against Cettinje, &C
cording to a report published in Ber-
lin.
The Strassberger Post asserts that
the German Emperor has received a
telegram to the effect that the Aus
TRANS have already entered Monte
negro
This is premature, but little doubt
is now felt that Austria is determined
to act alone, unless the Ambassador
ial conference at London decides to-
day on European action.

STRIKE IN INTERCHANGEABLE
Mrs. Bloer Arrested for Addressing
Brickmakers on Street.

The strike situation at Mechanic
vile, Saratoga county, where over
500 brickmakers are demanding an
increase in wages and better working
conditions has reached an acute
stage. An attempt will be made to-
day to put a number of strike break
ers to work. Anticipating trouble,
Sheriff Grippin has sworn in 25 dep
uties who will be stationed at the
yards.
The arrest Saturday night of Mrs.
Ella Reeve Bloer of Philadelphia, a
well-known socioligist who was a
member of the Roosevelt commission
which investigated the meat packing
plants of Chicago and other places
has accentuated the trouble. Mrs.
Bloer was delivering an address to
the strikers assembled on the street
when she was ordered by the village
president, William A. Campbell to
desist. Upon her refusal she was ar
rested and arraigned before Police
Judge Warner where bail was fur
nished in court May 10. After her
release she finished her address.

Sacramento, April 27.-At a con-
ference of Progressive leaders this
afternoon in the Office of Gov. John
son, attended by half dozen mem
bers from each house of the Legisla-
ture, it was agreed that no decision
concerning the method of holding
the conferences with Secretary Bry-
an should be made until that official
had expressed his desires after arriv-
ing tomorrow morning. This action
was taken because of the hostile
comments by members of both hous-
es that the Governors clique was
trying to bottle up the visitor and
not allow him to get at the real facts
regarding the Alien Land bill.
Gov. Johnson said after the gather.
ing that everything in regard to dis
cussion of the alien land bill hinged
upon the desires of the States visi-
tor.
Il cannot tell when our conferen-
ces will be held with Secretary Bry-
an, or what their nature will be,
whether public or private" said the
Governor. In the matter of ar
rangements of that kind we are
agreed that Mr.. Bryan's wishes will
be scrupulously and cheerfully OBJ
served, what ever they may be-"

Beavers Falls, Pa, April 27.-Mrs.
John KuzIus, bride of three days, is
in a critical condition and may die as
a result of dancing too much during

In deciding not to have the Four
City league under organized ball, the
promoters are making no mistake.
Half of the players that come to
this section have jumped contracts
somewhere else while the other half
are college men. In case that the
league had protection, neither OF
these two classes would be eligible.
A fine would be imposed If players
owned by other clubs were used
while college men usually steer clear
of organized ball.-North Adams

Hereafter American batters will be
credited with hits on certain plays
hitherto scored as fielders choices
according to a notice sent out by
President B. b. Johnson to official
scorers in his organization. His let
ter in part follows: Official scoreIs
of the American league are requested
to credit the batsman with hits In the
following cases: When, with one or
more runners on bases the batsman
reaches first base on a play to retire
the runner nearest the home plate
and no out results, provided that the
play be made without error by an OPP
ponent: Example: With runners
on first and second, the batsman hits
to pitcher or infielder. who makes a
perfect attempt to retire the runner
going to third. but the runner beats
the play and the batsman reaches
first"

like that in my place. You can stay
here a week or so, but you'll have to
