Three Greek Transports
With Servian Soldiers
Were Lost.
TERRIBLE HAVOC
IN THE AEGEAN SEA
Turkish Cruiser Attacked
Convoy of Thirty
Four Transports

Vienna. March 6.--The Turkish cruis-
cr Hamidieh to-day sunk three Greek
transports loaded with Servian troops,
according to dispatches from CONSTANT
nople. The attack on the transports is
said to have occurred near the peninsu-
lar Hagion Oros in the Egean sea.
From this it would appear that the
transports were proceeding to Gallipoli,
where it was proposed by the Balkan al
lies some time ago to make a flank at
tack on the Turkish troops defending
the Dardanelles.
The convoy of Greek transports con-
sisted of twenty-four vessels which car
ried "a guns. They were encountered by
the cruiser Hamidieh shortly after they
had left the coast, With her powerful
battery guns, the cruiser was able to
create havoc among the practically un-
protected transports loaded with sol.
diers.

VERMONT CUSTOMS
PLUMS ARE SLICED
Taft's Recent Order Abolishes the Fees
and Fixes Salary Of $4,000 in
Each District.

Burlington, March 6.-Senator Dilling-
ham has notified Collector c. II. Darling
that the new order of President Taft in
recognizing the customs department,
abolshes all fees, manifestos and emolu-
ments of the Office of collector of the
customs district of Vermont and substi.
tutes for it salary of $4,000 per year.
The order also settles the contention Of
whether the two Vermont districts are
to be divided in the negative by def
nitely establishing the boundaries of
each.
With the exception Of the change in
the remuneration to the collector, the
order which reduces 1855 customs districts
to 40 in the United States will make
little difference to Vermont except that
few minor supports will be abolished.
Since both districts remain in Vermont,
it follows that Burlington will be the
headquarters for the western district, as
il was only in case of the consolidation
that St. Adams was mentioned as the
probable seat OF the main office
The order of the president goes into
effect at the beginning of the fiscal year
OF lgl4, which is the first of next July.
The counties to comprise the district
are those already included and the ports
of entry will be Burlington, st. Albans,
Alburg, Swanton and Highgate.
The eastern district will consist of Coos
county in New Hampshire, and the coun.
ties of Washington. Orleans, Essex, Gale
donia. Windham. Orange and Windsor
in Vermont. The ports of entry will
be Newport, where headquarters will re-
main, North Troy, Derby Line, Island
Pond and Beecher Falls.
The order appointing the ports of en-
try means that Franklin, East Alburg.
Point and West Berkshire will !
be abolished in this district. None or

"The press of this country is imitat-
ng the American newspaper, which has
so lied against public men, so slandered
hem, that few decent minded men arc
willing to 90 into public life in Amer
ca. If the present campaign in cal
mny continues, this country will end
n civic neglect and corruption, for It
will repel from public life the sensi-
i've, kindly and respectable men who
ormery served their fellow citizens"

|ELKS ARE planning
A $4,000 BUILDING
SPLENDID SITE Is SECURED AND
COMMITTEE is NOW At
WORK.

At the meeting of the Elks last
Wednesday night it was decided to
proceed with the long spending plan to
erect an Elks home here. A very fine
site, one of the best available for such
purpose in the city, is under con.
sideration and it will doubtless be pur-
chased by the order This is cor
ner almost in the business center and
the present plan is to erect upon it a
four-story building. A feature will be
apartments for the unmarried mem
bers, so that it will truly be an Elks
home. The plan as outlined will call
for an expenditure of about $4,000
and with the large membership of the
order here no trouble is expected ID
financing the project. A committee
consisting of G. e. Mathews, John ,B
Rauch, ]. l.. Martin, Emil Saxl and
Andrew Green was appointed to 20
over the matter in detail and report
to the lodge as soon as possible
