ON A NOVEL TRIP.
Riding 10000 Miles Horseback Into
Every State of the Union.

An unusual quartet of men halted in
Montpelier to-day long enough to eat
dinner and hand a letter from Gov. Hay
OF the state of Washington to Gov
ernor Allen NJ. Fletcher of Vermont
on their horseback tour through every
state of the union. The men, who are
cowboys, ride mustangs and it is their
hope TO take one horse through the en-
tire trip Of 10000 miles, claiming that
they are to get one dollar mile if they
succeed in getting the horse through the
entire trip.
Thus far the men-C. C. Beck, J. B.
Ransom, r. g. Rayne and G. w. Beck
have taken the only horse they have left
of their original four. pinto" by name,
over 9.200 miles; but they thought one
while in Lewiston, Me-, that they would
have to give pinto" up. as be took sick.
However. they stayed by him a week
and pinto" came around so that they
could resume their ride With him. The
men rode into Montpelier this forenoon,
having stayed Monday night at st.
and Tuesday night at Marsh
field. Montpelier is the 25th state capi-
tai they have visited.
After presenting their letter to Gov
ernor Fletcher at the State House. the
four men started off on their ride to Al
banv, y. V. where they will visit the ex-
ecutive and proceed southwark. They
expect to travel through the southern
states during the winter. They are due
to arrive in san Francisco on June |,
1915.
Since they left Olympia, Wash. on
May L. 1912, they have lost six horses.

ENTERTAINMENT COURSE OPENS
Large Audience Was Delighted with Bos-
ton 0ctette Concert.

| The entertainment course provided by
| the Barre Woman's club opened auspi'
ciously last night with concert by the
Boston octette, from the White enter
tainment bureau of Boston. The opera
house was well filled, which must have
been source of considera BILE gratitica.
tion to the club, which has worked hard
and undergone considerable difficulties in
time past to conduct a course of the
kind. That the entertainment pleased
was evidenced by the applause, and the
members of the octette were generous
in response to eneores nearly every mum
Der on the program being duplicated.
Each member of the octette was ac-
complished in his or her line of enter
tainment and to give one or another
greater praise would be unfair to the
rest. The vocal selections were well
chosen and represented large variety
of selections, while the responses to en-
cores were mostly old familiar songs,
which always meet with hearty re-
sponse and never lose Stheir attractive
ness. Miss Grace Chandler, soprano, had
wide range, and Marcia West Lewis,
the contralto, showed the power of her
voice in its rich, mellow tones in sew
eral selections which brought out its
volume. The baritone, Herbert Yelling
ton Smith, also was greatly enjoyed, his
solo, "Eyi Tu" un Ballo in Maschera
being one of the most enjoyable selec-
tions of the evening. The rest of the
vocalists, Abbie J. Conley, contralto,
and Henry Behnke, tenor, as well as
Olive Whitley, soprano and violinist,
We're in no way inferior and helped to
make the whole program pleasure.
But the instrumental accompaniments
and separate selections--too much can
not be said of them. The violinist, Olive
Whitley, who also sang the part of sec
ond soprano in 1De Sandman" was GER
tainly yirtuoso and her selections were
among the rarest treats of the evening.
Thoroughly in control of her violin, she
spoke through it to her audience, which
listened almost breathlessIy TO the clear
notes. OF equal ability was Katherine
Halliday, the violoncelist, who rendered
the "Rhapsodie Hongroise" in so skilled
a manner that her audience would glad
ly have heard more of her wonderful
of the instrument
Seldom has it been the good fortune
of Barre to listen to pianist like Her
bert Seller, whose very touch thrilled
and vibrated the keys until they spoke
A language all their own and interpreted
to the audience something of the inspira
tion the composers themselves must have
felt. His touch. phrasing and choice OF
selections were all that could be desired.
The trio, violin, cello and pianoforte,
toward the close of the program, brought
out the wonderful work OF the pianist
as perhaps no other selection did, and
The three instruments made perfect |
blending of harmony and sound.

Ask Court to Set Aside Ver-
diets in Los Angeles Dy-
Mantle Cases
IN ORDER TO PERMIT
RETRIAL OF CASES
Appeal Based on Ground
There Is No Crime Like
That Named

Chicago, Oct 29-Another chapter in
the nationwide story of dynamite plots,
which eliminated in the fatal explosion
Mt Los Angeles in 1910, was written to-
day when the case was called before the
United States circuit court of appeals
of thirty three labor union officials who
were adjudged guilty with the Nc
Namara brothers in promoting the ex-
plosions, to ask the court to set aside
the verdicts rendered at Indianapolis
last December and have a new trial or
dered.
Opposed to them, the federal govern
ment has asked that the convicted men
be sent back to prison at Leayenworth
Kan, to complete their sentences. A
sentence Of seven years, the heaviest
penalty OF all. hangs over Frank NJ
Ryan, who is out on $4,000 bail
The defendants base their appeal on
the claim that there is no such crime as
conspiracy, under which the men were
convicted, namely conspiracy to violate
the law against the interstate shipment
OF explosives on passenger trains.

er at Goddard seminary several years

the trustees of the seminary and the res
ignation was presented to the meeting
of the latter yesterday, at which time
also Mr.. Averill was elected trustee
and treasurer of the school.
Mr.. Averill is the son of Mrs. Stella
c. and the late Artimr C. Averill and
has spent most of his life in Barre. He
was graduated from Goddard in the class
of 1904 and from Tufts college in 1905,
since which time he has been engaged
in teaching at Goddard. A year ago
he assumed the duties of assistant prin-
eipal of the school. in addition to his
teaching in the department of history,
and he was serving his second year in
that position when the opportunity came
to enter the banking business. The
trustees of the school yesterday released
him from contract, as he had asked, thus
permitting him to take up the new work
with the beginning of the new month.
He has met with good success in teach
ing, and with the experience he has
gained in banking through employment
in the Peoples bank during the summers
it is expected that he will have equal
success in the new position.

confidence of the people of Barre with
whom he has come in contact and is

leaves his wife, daughter, Miss Mar,
c. Grigg, of Boston, Mass, and one son
r. James Grigg, who is on the staff o
The Times.
He was born in Liskcord, Cornwall
England, JAN !. 1860. At an early ag,
he went To London, where he receiyee
his education. As Young man he went
TO South Africa, where he remained from
1875 to 1872 Afterwards he came I,
America and was for some time EN-
ployed at Clarke's Island, Me. In 1896
he settled in Concord, n H., where ht
resided until ls9S, when he came tc
Barre. For Is years Mr.. Grigg had lived
in Barre, and during a greater portion
of that time he was employed by Jones
Bros. His marriage TO Frances $. Burns
took place in Milford, Mass, July 4
1887.
The death OF Representative Grigg re-
moves one OF the most active members
Of the Barre branch, G. G. /. A.. and a
man whose name has been linked with
progressive labor legislation in Barre and
elsewhere for many years. In Hollowell,
Me, in Cincinnati, o., in Stony Greek,
Conn, and in Barre he served faithfully
at different times as a member and
chairman Of adjustment cawWittees. In
l00s he went to Quincy, Mass, as a mem-
Der of the committee for the revision
of the O. C.I A. constitution. At that
time he was recognized as one of the abl-
est labor men on the committee and
four Years later the Barre branch again
expressed its confidence in Mr. Grigg by
delegating him to the convention for the
revision of the constitution. The con
vention was held at the home, offices OF
the association in Quincy and again his
voice was lifted in behalf of sane and
progressive constitutional revision.
His connection with the Granite Gut
ters of America began in Monson, Mass,
many years ago, and mp to the time OF
his death he remained one of its most
steadfast members. Recognition of his
ability came early ana throughout his
long aiiiliation with the union he was
frequently honored with the highest po-
sitions. In 1907 he was a member OF
the strike committee in Barre. Five
years later he was nominated TO serve
the city as its representative in the state
legislature at Montpelier. On a labor
ticket, hundreds of workingmen again
had the privilege of registering their
votes in his favor. Thu general assem-
bly, of l9l2-l0l3 was productive of some
of the most advaEced labor legislation
that Vermont has seen in many years,
and Representative Grigg was one of the
men who labored early and late in its
behalf. In other issues of the day he
was equally interested and his influence
was usually felt on the right side. His
loss win be keenly felt in labor circles,
rs well as in other quarters. where he
was held in high regard for his qualities

Commerce Law.

New York, Oct. 20.--The railroads are
losing hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually as the result of an alleged
practice by New York merchants of
shipping merchandise under false
freight rate classification in violation

was asserted by the federal authorities
yesterday when in the United States
district court the firm of Henry A. Dix
& Sons pleaded guilty to the practice

cused of shipping dress forms, buttons,
and other articles under the cassifica-
