HOLIDAY TRADE IN
BENNINGTON IS
BEST EVER
Stores Sold More Goods Than
Ever Before
NEW POsToFfICE RECORDS
That Bennington Is a Growing and
Prosperous Town Is Clearly
Evidenced

Holiday trade in Bennington this
year broke all records and new
high water mark was set at the local
postofiie, though the business there
Is net yet fully figured up so that ac-
tual details can be given.
Every store in town had a larger
Christmas trade than ever before and
the merchants express their pleasure
at the way people in this buying area
shopped in Bennington this year.
Bennington is clearly growing aud
while the big mill and cooper's have
teen a little slack for the past six
weeks. the additional employment
here. furnished by the building OF the
high school, the scale company's
plant and the postchice put more
money in circulation here than eve.
before
The parcel post cut into the bust
ness Of the express company especial
~ on small packages. but the express
company was far from being put out
eli business. Owing to congestion in
the postal transfer department at Al
bany and other junction points. the
express company was able to beat
the postoilice service in promptncss.
Bennington was never in as good
shape in every way as al present
and the outlook for the coming year is
promising. All four local banks have
increased deposits. there are no va
cant tenements and the merchants of
the town are ARRIVING bigger and
more varied stocks than ever before.

GOV. GLYNN WANTS
WHITMAN HELP
AFTER ALL
Governor Finds Out He Made A
Bad Mistake
NOW TO ASK HIS AID
Whitman Said to Be Likely To Re.
fuse But Willing TO Send One of
His Deputies

Albany. Dec 25.--it became known
In Albany tonight that Gov. Glynn
has reached the conclusion thar ne
has been in error in his attitude tow
ard District Attorney would after all
probably be the right man to run
down the leads from New York City
into the punishment OF grafters in
highway work
When Gov Giynn, with consider
able display Of temper, assailed the
proposition to make District Attor-
ney Whitman a Special Deputy Attor-
ney General, with Statewide powers,
TO conduct his graft Inquiries into the
several counties where conviction of
gliity parties could be Sc cured, the
newspapers throughout the State
took the side OF Mr. Whitman. This
set the Governor to thinking, and
the longer ne thought the more lie
beanie convinced that he had made
mistake
He also appreciated the fact that
the desultory manner in which James
W. Osborne, his Special Investigator
was carrying on an inquiry which
was well nigh farce. was also
harming him in the eyes OF the Gill
zens Of the State. and it was learned
tonight that he began Immortality 10
mend his fences.
Despite the harsh words GOV.
Gov. Glynn had to say about Mr.
Whitman relative to the plan to
make him a Statewide investigator,
the Governor turned to HIM in his
predicament, and made oyertures TO
Mr.. Whitman to take up the special
investigation with Mr.. Osborne has
made such dismal failure of.
Il was said here tonight that the
Governor had antiipated that Mir.
Whitman would not undertake the
Statewide work. though several OF
the men against whom he has evil
denco in his John Doe proceedings
must be proceeded against in other
countries.
Should the overtures to Mr. Whit
man fail the Governor. it IS said, viii
ask that one Of Mr. Whitman's as
sistants or somebody satisfactory to
Mr. Whitman be recommended to him
for designation as special Deputy
Attorney General
This plan would be agreeable to Mr.
Whitman, it is understood and such
a designation is likely to be announc-
cd by the Governor in the immediate
future.

little children, staggering Under an al
most unbearable burden cf distress
and grief

citizens was held this afternoon to OK
press their sympathy and devise nays
and means to amelioratc the suffer

had fallen so heavily.

relNea families and ascertain what

TO have gene up the stairs OF the H..

which is supposed to have started
the panic leading TO the fearful crush
in the stairway and caused the death
of nearly four score men. women and
children. There seems to be little
hope that he will be apprehended.
The other theory that tho cry or
fire originated within the han was
substaniiated today by Matt Sari. a

aster. He declared the cry came
from a group men ana women tow
