Victim of Wilmington Auto
Accident Taken There
Today
ALMOST NO HOPE
FOR HIS RECOVERY
Physicians Find that j. G. Gregg's
Spine is Broken but Will Seek Aid
of Best Specialists Obtainable-Has
Recovered Consciousness.

j. G. Gregg of Pawtucket, Il. l., who
was so terribly injured in the automo-
bile accident near Wilmington Sunday
afternoon, was taken this morning on
a special train from Wilmington to
Boston where he will receive X-ray
treatment and the attention of the best
of specialists.
DR. Harry j. Greene accompanied
DR.. William p. Rothwell of Pawtucket,
family physician Of Mr.. Gregg, to Will
mington yesterday afternoon and it
was decided that it would be easier to
send the patient by special train to
Boston than to have him make the
trip to Brattleboro by ambulance. The
ambulance was sent from here last
night, however, in the event that it
should be decided to remove him to
Memorial hospital.
The diagnosis of the two physicians
conceded in that Mr.. Gregg 5 spine is
broken and that as his mind cleared
rapidly last evening there was proba-
bly, no fracture of the skull. Mr.. Gregg
is paralyzed from above the hips down
ward and his chances of recovery are
extremely doubtful.
The special train left Wilmington
shortly after 9 O'Clock this morning
and connected with the express train
on the Boston & Maine at Hoosac
Tunnel station. A trained nurse from
Springfield and DIR. Rothwell with Mrs
Gregg accompanied the patient.

Against Plan to Narrow Bed
of MILESTONE
Brook
WORK ON OVERPASS
MAY BE DELAYED
Local Mill Owner Said to Fear Damage
to His Property in Case Proposed
Protest.

Objection to the narrowing of the
bed Of MILESTONE brook, called for by
the plans for the overpass at Bridge
street, rs reported in the Reformer last
week, may delay progress on local rail
road improvements. Verbal objection
has been made by w. II. Vinton
through his counsel to the engineers
of the Boston 4 Maine railroad in
charge Of the work. Mr.. Ninton would
not say today whether or not. legal
he did say that he believed that the
narrowing of the bed Of Milestone
brook, as proposed by the plans,
would be damaging to his paper mill
just west of Milestone bridge
The plans call for cutting the bed of
the brook almost in two cast Of Whet-
stone bridge and the removal of the
old dam. M. VinUon. 1t is understood,
fears that the narrowing of the bed at
this point viii damage his property in
high water and for that reason has
caused his counsel to file a verbal
protest with the engineers. Other
lyroperties that might be included In
those liable to damage, if any, arc
those of the Twin State Gas & Elec-
trio company and the \. b. Clapp prop
erty.
| In connection with MILESTONE brook
| conditions it is learned that the pres
ent plans contemplate the erection OF
| a bridge for the additional tracks over
| the brook instead of widening the Oh
arch which has served for so many
years The foundation of the old Cros
| by elevator will be used in part at least
For the abutments of the bridge ut the
| south.
While the IIolhrook, Cabot & Rollins
corporation has plenty to do yet in the
reduction of the grade of Vernon
street the concern would be glad to gel
to work on the overpass itself and thi,
will be done as soon as adjustment n1
the difficulties arising over the narrow
ing of MILESTONE brook has been made

This is the Issue Over Which
Seiectmen and Commit
tee Disagree
LEDGE is TO BE
TAKEN OUT FIRST
But There is Opposition to Town
Fathers Plan to Have a Portion of
The Rock Put Back - Holden
Against It.

To have or not to have-a bank
wall or slope at the rear of the
Brattieboro House site, is question
over which members of the towns
special railroad committee are at odds.
The selectmen recently came to the
conclusion that a slope along the
south side .of the proposed squage
would be better than a wall and at
the same time save the town consider
able expense. Therefore, they made
arrangements with the contractors who
are removing the ledge to dump a
quantity of loose rock at this point.
with the idea that the rock could be
covered with dirt and then seeded to
grass.
L. T. Holden of the special railroad
committee is decidedly opposed to a
slope, believing that a retaining wall
is the proper thing. He contends that
It will be impossible to grow grass
on slope as steep as that which the
town fathers have in mind and saws
furthermore that such an arrangement
will make the park much smaller than
the voters Of the town were given to
understand it would be when they vot-
ed money for the Improvement. Mr..
Holden also contends that the town 3
contract with the railroad company
calls for the removal of the entire
ledge to a level of Main street bridge,
and that this Will not have been done
if the rock is not actually taken away.
NJ. j. Moran of the railroad com
mittee IS insistent that the terms of
the contract between town and rail
read be observed as far as they per
tain to removing the ledge. but he
differs somewhat with Mr. Holden az
to what constitutes a removal of the
ledge 1t is Mr.. Moran s idea that
if the rock is all blasted out it is not
within the provinces of the railroad
committee to say whether or not a por-
tion of it shall be put back, the future
treatment of the park being, in his
opinion. matter in which the select
men alone have authority. However,
Mr.. Moran believes that the appear
anee of the park will be much better
if a wall is built and is not personally
in favor of the selectmen S plans.
Frederick Holbrook of the con-
tracing firm of Holbrook, Cabot &
Rollins said this morning that the en-
tire ledge in the rear of the Brattle-
boro House site would lie removed in
accordance with the terms of the con
tract, and that the fill of loose rock
was being made at the request of the
selectmen.

SOLONS IN SESSIONS
EARLY THIS MORNING
New York's Chief Executive Charged

tions and Diverting Them for Pri-
vate Ends

ALBANY, \. Y, Aug. 12.-The re
port Of the Frawle.s legislative com
mittee charging Gov. Sulzer with hav

to impeach him for ''wilful and cor
rupt conduct in office and for high
crimes and misdemeanors was offer
ed in the Assembly by Majority Lead
er Levy. The Frawley committee re-
the governor with having falsifed un-

forts to bring proof OF his alleged mis-
conduct to light.
The adoption of the report carried
with it a recommendation that Louis -.

refused to answer certain questions
propounded by the committee S coun-
sci, be held IN contempt of the legisla-
ture and punished. Sarecky and Col
well are characterized in the report as
GOV. Sulzer 5 dummies. Never in the
history of the state has her chief ex-
ecutive been impeached.

impeach, Assemblyman Levy asked
that its consideration be postponed.

/ Leader IIinman who had championed
the governor 5 cause, and by Assembly
man Schapp, leader of the Progress
sives Both Hinman and Schapp had
led a two hours fight for postponement
of action on the resolution to adopt the
| Frawley committee report.
The fight in the Senate over the
adoption of the report was brief the
session lasting but - minutes. The
upper house was dark long before the
| question came to a vote in the crowd
ed assembly chamber. For two hours
there a throng that crowded every
niche and Granny of the big chamber
stood patiently and silently-save Oh
one occasion-waiting for the vote
BY vote Of GA to 30 the assem-
bly, passed just before / clock this
morning the motion Of Assemblvman
Levy to consider today the resolution
to impeach the governor. The House

utive mansion was burning low and the

port. Gov. Sulzer had waited there al
the evening contrary to his usual prac
tice of visiting the capitol when the

news over the telephone. He made nc
comment thereon. Before the sun set:

NEW YORK-A first class gambler
onliyened the trip for passengers on

had taken $500 from one OF the Ameri-
cans on board. - Ill., ...~
When the victim learned that he
had been fleeced he sent wireless to
this country stopping payment on a
check he had given for his losses. The

the check this morning.
