THOSE BAREHEADED FREAKS
Correspondent Insists that Washing
Makes Grey Hair.

Editor of the Banner:-In yester-
days Banner you criticised letter
sent in by one of your readers in re-
gard to girls going bareheaded. The
letter was no advertisement for a
millinery store, as the writer is in no
way connected or related to a MILL
merry store. She still insists, how
ever, that Bennington is the only
place on the map where girls go bare
headed all over the town; also that
constant washing will make the hair
turn gray regardless of what DR..
Woods Hutchinson says, for too much
washing takes away the natural oils.
And any doctor will tell you that in
taking away the natural oils you are
destroying the life of the hair, which
means gray hair OF course girls that
can't afford to buy pretty hat that
looks well on them, is a different
thing, They can dress their hair to
please the men, but there are few
girls in town that would much
rather keep their hair nice and clean,
than to walk up and down the street
seeking the admiration of men. And
when the men get together by them
selves they will make remarks.

MRS. STORY WINS
PRESIDENCY ON
THIRD BALLOT
Conservative Leader Now Head
of D. A. r.
ENDS FIGHT OF FIVE YEARS
Most Spirited War in History OF So
ciety and Struggle That Has
Cost Much Money.

Washington, April 19.-Mrs. VIII
liam Cummins Story of New York
head of the conservative faction, late
yesterday was elected president-gen-
eral of the society of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, defeat
ing Mrs. John Miller Horton of Buff
falo the administration candidate, on
the third ballot. The vote stood:
Mrs. Story, GOO; Mrs. Horton, 449.
Seven vice presidents-general also
were elected to complete the compile
ment of new general officers. They
were: Mrs. Thomas Kite of Ohio,
Mrs. Rhett Goode of Albania, Mrs.
John Swift of California, Mrs. Allen
P. Perley of Pennsylvania, Mrs. Ben.
F. Gray, Jr., of Missouri, Miss Har-
riet l. Lake of Iowa, and Mrs. John
Lee Dinwiddie of Indiana. Three
ce-presidents-gener were elected
on the first ballot
The result of the third ballot was
announced about $50 p. IN. and the
successful candidate was escorted TO
the platform. She was greeted by
Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, retiring presi
dent-general, and began her speed.
She made a plea for harmony and
urged all the new general officers to
do their utmost to bring peace be-
tween the factions that have wageo
an almost continuous warfare for the
last FIVE years. Before closing her
remarks Mrs Story introduced Mrs.
Charles B. Bryan. who withdrew as a
contestant yesterday before the third
ballot was begun. Mrs. Bryan had
been known as an administration
sympathizer, but she pledged loyalty
and support TO the incoming admins
tration. She was followed by the
new general officers and all pledged
their support to Mrs. Story.
The election resulted in a partial
victory for the old administration. in
that more than half of the general
officers and all of the new vice
presidents-general are known as sup
porters of Mrs. Scot. Mrs Story did
not place a complete ticket of vice
presidents-general in the field and
none of the four she put forward
was elected. OF the general officers
on her ticket only four were chosen
Ou tut HISt Ddiluts white I'VE VI luOSe
on the Horton, or administration
ticket, were successful.
The election of Mrs. Story ends a
five-year campaign. She was defeat
ed by Mrs. Scott in the last two cleo
tons. The contest has been the
most spirited in the history of the
society, and has been exceedingly
expensive for the candidates and the
society. While the delegations were
casting their ballots the various state
regents continued making their re-
ports. Several valuable gifts were
given Mrs. Scott, and there were a
number of presentations to the ma
tional society. Mrs. Scott was elect
ed honorary president-general, an
honor held by only five former pre-
siding officers Of the society At the
session last night there were several
committee reports. The congress
will adjourn today after the disposal
of one important subject that was
made special order

Breaks Out Again.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 1.-THE bit
ter fight between Speaker William
Mckinley and Representative Lee
ONeil Browne, of Ottawa broke out
afresh today, when Browne tried to
offer a resolution before the time had
arrived for the presentation of such
documen and Speaker Mckinley rul-
ed him out of order.
81 appeal from the decision of the
chair" shouted Browne.
The House went on with the consid
Grafton of Senate bills and Browne
continued to shout for recognition un
til Speaker Mckinley directed Ser
geant-at-Arms Keim, a Browne ap
pointee to put Browne back in his
seat.
Are you going to carry out my or
ders?" exclaiped the Speaker as
Keim hesitated.

ADAMS WILL PUT
TEAM IN -FOUR
TOWN LEAGUE
Decision Reached at Baseball
Meeting in No. Adams
MONEY ALREADY RAISED
Another Week Must EIapse Before
New League Can Be Perman-
emily Organized.

1t was all but decided at the meet
ing of baseball men at the Berkshire
hotel in North Adams last evening
that the city of Adams would put q
club in the proposed four-town league
to consist of representations from
North Adams, Adams, Hoosick Falls
and Bennington.
The only reason why the league
was not actually put into shape last
night was the diffidcnce of the repre-
sentatives from Adams. There were
only two of them present and they
did not wish to take the responsible
ty without further consultation with
other Adams men who are interested
in the sport.
Last week the Adams fans started
out to raise 5000 in pledges for a
team and it was stated at the meet
ing last night that the sum was al
ready in sight Only a partial can
vas had been made over $500 had
been secured.
There will be a public meeting In
Adams next Wednesday evening at
which an association will be formed
on plans similar to methods of base
ball management in Bennington.
This meeting will elect board of di-
rectors with officers and representa-
tives of this board will be present at
a meeting in North Adams on Friday
evening when the league will be or
ganized.

ILLEGAL LIQUOR
SELLERS GET
BIG FINES
Twenty Four Convictions
Washington County Court
FINES AMOUNT TO $1,000
Seven Hardened Offenders Sentenced
to Work House-All But One
Italians.

Montpelier, April 19.-The biggest
days business in liquor cases in the
history of any county court in the
state was transacted yesterday when
"a respondents, most OF them on
pleas of guilty, were sentenced by
Judge Frank L. Fish, presiding Judge
of Washington County court.
Fifteen respondents were fined
$500 each and costs, five received
fines of $500 and costs, two were put
on probation and two given straight
sentences to the house of correction.
as they were unable to pay fines. The
fines totalled $1,000
Seven who were fined were also
sentenced to the house of correction
for nine to IL months, which sent
ences were suspended pending good
behavior and the respondents we're
placed in the charge of the proba-
ton officer. These were considered
hardened offenders and the extra
sentence was imposed to keep them
out of the liquor business. Under the
Vermont law respondents who fail
to pay the $500 fine and costs must
serve an alternative sentence OF
about three years in the work house.
Evidence in all these cases was
secured through secret inquests, the
most effective weapon yet devised in
Vermont to obtain evidence and to
convictions in liquor cases. Out OF
"a persons sentenced, four only stood
trial and they were convicted. Many
of. the respondents were women with
babies in their arms. One of the re-
spondents, a woman, with a crippled
husband, has 10 children and is now
in delicate health. Her case is being
investigated. Twelve cases were
from Barre and the same number
from Montpelier. The nationality

READY TO WORK
FOR THE CAUSE
Agree to Forget Personalities
of Baltimore
SHAKE HANDS AT BANQuEI
Reconciliation Removes One OF the
Most Embarrassing Problems OF
Administration.

Washington. April 1S.-Speaker
ahamp Clark and Secretary of State
william j. Bryan met at a private
luncheon here today, shook hands and
Issued public statements declaring
they had buried the Ratchet and put
the personalities of the Baltimore
convention with the by-gones. The
sancheon was arranged by Theodore
A. Bell of California, temporary chair
man of the convention in 1908, and
chairman of the California delegation
supporting Speaker Clark at Balti-
more, and was given by Ira r. Ben
aett, editor of the Washington Post.
Interest was aroused in politie2l cir
eles over the reconciliation OF the two
antagonists whose differences became
acute as a result of events at the Bal
Rmore convention.
Secretary Brayan's prepared state
ment issued tonight is as follows
my meeting with Mr.. Clark has
served to clear up a misunderstand-
ing as to my exact position toward
him at the Baltimore convention. |
have tried to make it clear to Mr..
Clark that / have always regarded
and do now regard him as good
clean progressive democrat. If my
language at Baltimore created any
impression that | was charging Mr..
Clark with being in sympathy with
any of the reactionary forces, | am
glad of the opportunity to correct any
such misconstruction of my words
or acts, for ! did not intend to reflect
al hn nDrgnnn1 nnlitinal
integrity of the speaker. 1t is my
earnest wish that there may be cor
dial co operation between the state
department and the speaker in car
Tying out the policies of the admin
stration."
Here is Speaker Clark's state
ment:
ut is beyond the power of Col
Bryan or any one else to correct the
injustice that was done to me at Bal
timore. The loss of the presidential
nomination was a small thing as COM
pared to the injury done to my repu-
tation in the eyes of the world. But
now that Col Bryan in his public
statement as done what he can to re-
move the injurious impressions that
speeches / feel that we can all the
better cooperate for the good of the
administration. can only repeat
what have publicly declared time
and time again, that all personal or
selfish considerations must give way
10 the duty that all democrats owe
10 our party and to our country"
Those who sat at the table with
the others already mentioned and
saw the disappearance of what many
political sages thought the most en-
barrassing situation confronting Pres
ident Wilson's administration were
Vice President Marshall, Secretary
Lane, Senator'S Kern and O'Corman,
Representative Crisp, Secretary Tum-
slty, Assistant Secretaries Osborne
and Malone of the state department,

The most backward educational

the women's colleges. They are
worse than primary schools. They

women's colleges, that the further
