FIVE LAW MAKERS
c All CHIT WITH
MARKED MONEY
Big Sensation in West Virginia
Legislature
DETECTIVES SPRUNG TRAP
Prosecutor Alleges That Money Ha;
Been Used to Elect United
States Senator.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb 12.-With
marked money in their pockets, al
legged to be the price of their votes
in the United States senatorial con-
test, four members of the House of
Delegates and one member of the
Senate of West Virginia, were arrest
ed in hotel here late yesterday by
Sheriff Bonner Iiill, iii the presence
of the public prosecutor, Thomas G.
Townsend. They were taken before
justice vi the peace and held in
$4,000 bond The accused men are
Representatives U. S. G. Rhodes OF
Putnam county, David E. Hill of Ma
son county, Rath Duff OF Jackson
county, and Senator b. A. Smith.
Ever since the Legislature assemb-
led there have been rumors that
money was being used to influence
members of both houses in the inter
est OF some one of the senatorial
candidates. but the stories were not
supported by tangible evidence and
the entire matter was passed as an
ordinary feature of hard-fought
political battle. Recently. however
Rhodes is alleged to have said, ac
cording to the prosecutor. that for
something over $4,000 he could
change six votes in the two houses.
Acting on this report, it is stated
Prosecutor Townsend summoned to
his assistance number of private
detectives They had been in Char
lesion watching the senatorial ballot
for several weeks. and were in close
touch with the situation. Details
of their operations were not made
public, but after the arrest, il is
said, arrangements had been made
for the change in the voting this
week Ii was to start with a vote or
two, the first day, followed by other
changes until the necessary number
had been secured, 1t is said.
Part of the alleged program was
carried out and yesterday, the prose
cutor said had been arranged for as
pay day" The men were called to
hotel, and there, it is said, were
paid in the marked bills In an ad-
joining room. Prosecutor Townsend
and Sheriff Hill awaited the signal
that was to lay bare the alleged bri-
berry. They had only a few minutes
to wait, for the alleged transaction
over, the door was opened, and the
men invited to enter.
There stood the sherifl and prose-
cutor, to both of whom all the legis-
lators were known. For a moment
no one moved, and then without hest
fancy the sheriff told the accused
that they were under arrest.
The city was filled with rumors con
corning the sensational step of the
prosecutor. 1t was reported that the
men arrested were TO have voted for
one of the leading candidates for
United States senator and some of the
votes were to have been delivered yes
terday when the House and Senate
in Joint session took its sixth ballot
for senator, which resulted as fol-

N LEICESTER HAS
NO RIGHTS IN THE
COURT HOUSE
Finding of Facts Sustains
County Judges
TOWN MUST vACATE
Suit Brought to Gust Town Clerk
from Room In County
Building.

Chancellor Frank L. Fish. who pre-
sided at the last term of Bennington
county court, has returned his find
ing of facts in the case of the county
of Bennington vs.. the town Of Man
chester and the village of Manches-
ter in the case brought to determine
the title to the county court house
building in the town Of Manchester.
The finding of facts sustains the con-
tention of the orator that neither the
town of Manchester, the village or
the Manchester fire district which
was the first incorporation in the
town has any title to the building.
The suit was brought primarily to
GUST the town clerk of Manchester.
whose Office, according to the chan
cellor's finding of facts, was tenn
porarily located in one Of the rooms
of the building in 1908. Four years
later possession of the building was
demanded by the assistant judges
and the town refused to vacate. This
was the first conflict about which any
right appears to have been asserted
between the town and county au-
thorities. No one appears to have
asserted any adverse rights In the
occupancy of the room now held by
the town clerk. The chancellor finds
that the town of Manchester, village
and fire district never contributed
to the construction, repair or support
of the court house.

PLANS TO FLOOD VALLEY
Development of Water Power In Men
don by Rutland Company.


Rutland. Feb. 11.-If negotiations
now underway are consummated, the
Rutland Railway, Light and Power
company, or some of its allied inter
ests, will in the near future harness
the water power of the north branch
of Cold river in Mendon, which
drains the south and west slopes OF
Mount Killington, by building dam
near the junction of the river with
Eddy brook. This would food a mar
row valley, setting the water back
half a mile and making pond 6O
feet deep. 1t would greatly change
the location of the main highway for
some distance and would flood spots
now occupied by the farmhouses OF
Elmer Hinckley and several camps.
Water rights along Cold river have
been owned for some time by John
b. Reynolds of this city, who has
been endeavoring TO sell them to this
city to increase the water supply II
is understood that the Clarendon
Power company recently acquired
these rights and it is through them
that the Rutland concern may get
them. This company already has a
storage plant in Chittenden, which is
the largest in New England, besides
a smaller one at East Pittsford. and
a power plant at Carvers Falls, West
Haven. IT is to soon God Clarendon
gorge a picturesque spot on Mill
river in Clarendon.
The contemplated Mendon pond
would make another attraction for
the long contemplated hotel at the
foot of Killington as 1t would extend
within a quarter OF a mile of the
mountain.

ARTILLERY FIGHT
IN STREETS OF
MEXICO CITY
hundreds Killed in Seven.H0ur
Battle
THREE AMERICANS HURT
Lloyd Osborn, the Author, Wounded
in Thigh BY Stray
Bullet

Mexico City, Feb. 1.-THE federals
and rebels fought seven hour drawn
battle in the heart of the city today.
when darkness put an end to the fight
ing neither side appeared to have
gained any marked advantage.
Estimates of the casualties run as
high as 1000, although accurate infor-
nation cannot be obtained at this
time. The dead certainly will be
counted by the hundreds.
Foreign residents for the most part
kept under cover, but three Ameri-
cans are known to have suffered in
juries from stray bullets. They are
Lloyd Osborne, the author, who was
shot in the thigh; Dr. r. H. MeCros-
son of Lincoln, Neb., and Mark John
son, a negro of Madison, Ill.
Artillery played the chief part in
the days fighting. but rife fire was
kept up continuously though more or
less ineffectively. President Madero
and his ministers expressed satlsfac-
ton tonight with the days work and
ventured the opinion that tomorrow
would see the overpowering of the
enemy.
Gen. Felix Diaz. in his arsenal
stronghold, appeared as defnant as
at anytime since he was released
from prison by the mutinous soldiers
and promises a repetition tomorrow
of the terrific bombardment, the
fierceness of which is attested by the
many partially destroyed structures
within a radius of half a mile.
The greatest loss of life resulted in
charge of rurales who, with a dar-
ing amounting to foolhardiness,
moved against the rebel battery which
moved down men and horses almost
to extinction
The execution done in the prolong-
ed engagement of today was sufficl-
ent in the belief of Senior DIT LaBarra

and the diplomatic representatives TO
warrant further attempt to prevent
another battle within the city.
Senior DIT La Barr sent 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 without further blood
she'd"
Madero replied, thanking him, but
declaring that no terms other than
an unconditional surrender could be
made with Diaz.
That the president is determined to
make this a finish fight is evident,
though not more so than Diaz who
realizes that there will be no clemeL
cy in case of surrender.
Almost within a stones throw of
each other there two fighting forces,
each armed with more than 20 can
non, are tearing at each others
throat and they expect to continue
the struggle regardless of the Incl
dental loss Of life.
The firing grew much lighter as
the afternoon wore along, but the ar
tillery action always was the domi-
mating feature. For the most part
the artillery fire on both sides was
kept reasonably slow, but not infre-
quently shells screamed across the
city and shrapnel well in districts far
from the zone of fighting.
The cannon of the federals were
eventually silenced by the rebels. but
the extent of the damage to the rebel
artillery is not known outside their
own lines.
The streets in which the fighting
occurred present a dilapidated appear
ance. One of the buildings which
suffered most is that in which the
American consulate general was 10
Gated and from which the consul and
his staff were forced to fee
Ambulances of the Red and White
Cross were early seen whirling away

wounded, many of whom were cti

RECREATION NOTES
Deep Interest Already Shown to
Coming Folk Dance Festival.


An event in which approximately
three hundred people, men, women
and children, will take part cannot
fail to interest whole community
and such an interest is being shown
already in the Folk Dance Festival to
be given in Bennington March 25 at
the opera house.
So far there has been no provision
for boys in the indoor recreation
work, but they will be well repre-
sented upon the Festival program
Sixteen young men from the Acade-
my will give the Oxen Dance. This
dance, most suited for men, had its
origin in the beginning of the last
century, when at the college in Karl
stad, Sweden, the freshmen, nick
named Oxen" were made to perform
the dance before the sophomores.
Hence the name, Oxen Dance.
The boys of the Bennington grad
ed school, upper grade, will perform
an Indian dance. in full costume.
The little folks, the real little boys
and girls, have their dances too and
will open the Festival with a number
of delightful childrens dances.
IF we can enrich childhood by
giving to our children dance games;
If we can give young people whole
some interesting and beautiful group
activities, If we can add to the social
resources for the leisure time OF
adults, then this movement for the
resurrection of the folk dance will be
worth while for IL will helm IN maka

If not, you've never eaten French

Cottolene makes them rich and

If you have been frying and

good, at less than one-third the
