THREE FATALITIES ALREADY.
Out of Dozen Cases of Epidemic in Town
OF Readsboro.

Brattleboro, May 22.--The little town
of Readsboro has been stricken with a
throat disease OF virulent form and in
a dozen cases that have occurred there
within a few weeks three deaths have
resulted within the last few days, all OF
them of children. The disease was ter
ribly swift in the fatal cases, death re.
sulting within "a hours after the chill
dren were stricken. The physicians, DIR,
T. +. Crowley and DR.. Perry, the health
officer, agree that it is the aggravated
form of tonsilitis that has been so fear
fully prevalent in Canton, Mass, where
there have been 400 cases and 10 deaths.
The children who have died, were
Marion r. Mini, child named Polo,
both children of Italian residents, and
Carl Sawyer. One other child, Leon
Daley, is very i'll.
DIR. Crowley said that he believed the
disease was well in hand and would soon
be wiped out.

SEEK BRYAN'S AID TO
PRODUCE HARMONY
Secretary of State Is Urged by
congressman to Patch Up
Row Over Currency.

Secretary of State Bryan has a new
pacification job The Administration
apostle of peace is being sought to
patch up the row over the currency bill.
How Bryan's good offices to weld the
warning Democratic FACTIONS in contro-
versy over the currency measure have
been sought leaked out today. Con-
servatives and ''insurgenrs' of tie
House Banking Committee are both
seeking Bryan as a mediator of their
disputes.
Congressman Ragsdale Of South Caro-
lima, co-author with Henry of Texas of
the "insurgent' amendments to the Ad-
ministration currency bill, admitted to-
day that he had had a long conference
with Bryan. He frankly sought Bryan's
support for the agricultural currency"
amendments. Bryan, so far, has Ie-
fused to indorse the scheme
Congressman Bulkley of Ohio, 1t was
learned today, has also sought Bryan's
aid in behalf of amendments to clip
the wings of the central reserve board,
to limit its centralized power. Henry
is another currency leader who has
sought Bryan's moral support.
Bryan has told his currency inter-
viewers that he stands stanchly for the
principal features of the Glass-Owen
bill. He refuses to dip into factional
fights. But he Is willing to use his best
efforts to effect an agreement. He has
asked the two factions to get together
in the interest of party harmony.
Assistance of Democratic Leader I'm
derwood, Of the House. to secure a
Democratic report from the Banking
Committee is also expected to be sought
soon by the Administration. Underwood
has maintained a "hand-off'' attitude, but
his strong leadership may be brought
into play to prevent a serious and open
rupture among the House Democrats.
