ter off Oregon and the upper Califor-
MIA coast instead of some hundreds or
even a thousand miles higher up.
There is another factor pointing
toward this same tendency of the
probability of storm areas striking in
farther south--the cold weather east
of the Rockies. Why? Throughout
the summer and continuing often
through the winter of dryer seasons
the storm areas pass east through
British Columbia and southern Alaska
When the Rocky mountain region is
cold-normally to extra normal
these storm areas cannot pass across
their northerly summer latitudes, as
the high barometer area, the concom-
itant of cold weather conditions, pre-
vents its passage; and thus the low
of the storm area is DETECTED south
erly, as evidenced on the map.
We have often equally copious rains
when low barometer area of consid-
cradle intensity appears off the Van
couver- Washington coast, and is de-
fiected south by the high barometer
over the Rocky mountain region.
1t was cold already over a month
ago at Nome, the Bering sea port.
This cold from recent eastern storm
conditions seems to come down the
whole Rocky mountain system, from
northern Alaska down their east slope.
Last year the whole Alaska coast
was warm and open, and we had cor
respondingly little rain.
1t seems to us that DR.. Ricard, with
all his valuable forecasting, should
weigh the interrelation of the cold
or high barometer areas with the lows.
His theory of sunspots affecting the
earth's magnetism, and the intensity
of this magnetism causing more
storms and intenser ones seems very
probable indeed. And then, further,
he states that the earth, for one i'm
portant center, has its greatest mag
netic center near the Aleutian islands,
causing the birth of cyclonic whirls
of the atmosphere, producing these
storm centers that from here move
southeastward over the land and
whose intensity is calculable by the
sun spots. This is all very true, but
the direction of these storm areas is
still subject to extreme notifications
by high barometer areas. We will
cite single fact. The greatest storm
for any one month at Portland, Ore.
occurred in December, 1882, when
about twenty inches fell. During that
same period to the 3Oth of December
only one inch was precipitated in San
Francisrn, and still less south, owing
to the latter's proximity to persistent
high barometer areas during that
month.
= Our recent storm of the 18th and
18th was not one of great intensity
"a 29S barometer is not very low,
but it came right down into our own
latitude, with a high barometer to
the north, concentrating all its pre-
cipitation in the central and southern
parts of the state
Our contention is, therefore, be the
intensity of the Alaskan storms what
they will, they must come in close to
our latitude or else be DETECTED in our
direction, to give US ample precipita-
ton. We have those indications now
and therefore we can count on a wet
season. L. E. Blochman.

Murder Charge
WILL LEAVE AT ONCE FOR AMER.
ICA-MOB THREATENED
VIOLENCE.

Kiev, Russia, Nov. 11.-Mendel Bel
liss was acquitted Of the murder OF
the boy, Yustchinsky. "Beiliss is not
guilty, but the murder was committed
in the Zaiteff works"
This was the verdict returned short
ly after O'Clock tonight by the jury
after two hours elaboration.
When Beiliss was taken out of the
prisoners room of the court for the
last time and brought along the dingy
corridor, it was seen his guard had
been increased to five soldiers. Two
officers entered the dock with him.
Beiliss was outwardly' calm. The
court room was crowded. Beiliss
standing, seemed to be in state of
coma when the verdict was read,
striving to collect his wits and COM
prehend what was being said. When
he realized the meaning, he sobbed
convulsively.
Anti-semetic agitators many stu

chased the verdict. The governor
of Kiev called meeting of repre-
sentatives of the Jews and promised
everything would be done to prevent

PRESENTED ALIBI; ACQUITTED.
Robert Foley Was Charged With Assault
Henry Robair Held.

Burlington, Aug l3.--Yesterday after
noon in city court Robert Foley was ac-
quilted of a charge Of assisting in the
assault on Henry Daniels. Henry Ro-
bair, who was the other respondent in
the case, had hearing in the morning
and was bound over to county court on
a charge of assault without a dangerous
weapon. Bail in his case was fixed at
$500, which according to last reports,
he was unable to furnish.
The hearings yesterday disclosed little
which had not been said before, with the
exception that Foley succeeded in prov.
ing a pretty COED alibi. Daniels, who
on the previous hearings was more or
less under the influence OF liquor, was
able to tell connected story as the re-
suit of his ten days confinement in Jail
following his conviction for intoxication.
He told of waking up after sleep in
the lot near the Rutland freight yard
and of seeing Robair with his hands in
Daniels pocket. Robair told him that II
he didn't cough up he would strike him
and then proceeded to do so. The two
men had previously visited number of
drinking resorts and Daniels went down
there to sleep off his jag.

WARRINGTON GIRL
RELATES STORY
How She and Other Three Tried To
Avoid Local Scandal in Sacramento
By Slipping Away To Reno,
Nevada.

San Francisco, Aug. l3.--Martha War
rington was the states first witness to-
day in the trial OF Maury /. Diggs, who
is charged with violation of the Mann
white slave act. She continued her story
of yesterday of how she, in company
with Lola Norris, Drew Caminetti and
Diggs, slipped away from Sacramento to
Reno, New, in the hope of avoiding local
notoriety and stirred up scandal which
developed into an affair of nation wide
interest.
Court adjourned last night with the
story at the point where the party OF
four, consisting of Diggs, Caminetti,
Marsha Warrington and Lola Norris
stepped off the train at Reno. The girl
swore that Diggs bought the railway
tickets. She swore she saw the tickets
delivered to the conductor.
Questions and answers preliminary to
and following this point dealt with the
introduction upon the scene of Lola Nor
ris and Caminetti, the latter to be tried
on similar charge later, both of whom
were arrested with them in bungalow
at Reno.
The witness swore that she had left
Sacramento under threats of exposure
and only on promise of marriage. The
narrative of the early acquaintance was
traced in detail and the trip to Reno was
described minutely.

GOOD RACING AT DETROIT.
Frank Bogash, Jr, Won the Chamber OF
Commerce Stake.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. l3.--Frank Bo-
cash, Jr., driven by Thomas w. Murphy
yesterday won in straight heats the 18th
renewal of the Chamber of Commerce
stake for 2;l3 class PAGERS, and estab-
lished new record for the event, 2.02A
The race was the feature of the second
day of the grand circuit meet at the
state fair grounds. Farra easily cap
in the 2:l0 trot, while Eddie billiard
managed to win the 2;06 pace after the
hottest sort of contest.
The struggle for the Chamber of Com
meree prize always was between Bo-
cash, Jr., and Leata j. Each heat was
hard fought all the way. In the first,
Stetbrino Lad led TO the three quarters.
Coming into the stretch, Leata j. and
Bogash pulled away and in the drive
for home, the mare was left a length
behind Not until the distance flag was
reached in the second heat did Muir
phys flag show in front The last half
of this heat was covered in l;O0A.
In the final round, Bogash trailed
Leata j and Stetbrino Lad to the head
of the stretch, when he came around on
the outside, getting on even terms. There
was whipping finish with the son of
Frank Bogash a length TO the good at
the wire. 1t was in the last heat that
Frank Bogash, Jr., lowered the stake

Farra was not extended to win the 2:l6
trot in straight heats.
Ed Geers made his first appearance
of the week behind the colt Etawah In
the 2:l0 trot. Etawah took all three
heats in fast time.
The 2:06 pace furnished the greatest
contests of the day. Knight Onward,

won heat. Only the heat winners came
out for the final heat. In the last
eighth, Dillard forced Onward into a
break and won in common jog, with

NO ONE INJURED
EXCEPT FOR BRUISES
Train Went onto Siding at
West Berlin Last
Evening

! Running at a rate estimated at A!
miles an hour, the New England States
/ limited train on the Central Vernon
railroad was partially wrecked near thu
gravel pit in West Berlin at $3.50 O'CLOCK
last evening when it ran onto side
track, and although six Of the eight carr
in the train were derailed no one wal
seriously injured. The eolored chef OF
the diningcar, r. l.. Washington, wai
somewhat cut and bruised as he wal
bending over the range in the kitchen al
the time and was thrown to the floor
He was taken to nearby cottage anc
soon recovered.
There were about $50 persons on the
| train and while all of them received a
great fright and severe shaking-up they
were all able to get out of the coaches
One woman tainted from excitement
but soon recovered.
The train was late and was making
/ up time between Mortified and Mont
pelier junction, being in charge of John
Granview as engineer. At the gravel pit
in West Berlin there is siding 500
yards long. Into this siding rushed the
train. Whether the switch was open or
but the majority of the opinion seemed
to be that it was open.
On realizing that his train was off the
main line and in danger, Engineer Gran
view lent his energies TO bringing 1t to
a halt before the opposite end of the
switch should be reached. In this he
was successful, thereby averting far
more serious consequences. 1t is said
that the train did not pass over more
than half of the siding before being
brought to a standstill with a grinding
noise,
The locomotive, No. 233, had stayed
on the rails, as has the mail and bag
gage cars. but the six coaches in the
rear were dragged along the ground and
were much damaged underneath. The
wheels of some of them were sunk two
feet in the dirt when they had ploughed
along; the vestibules were partially
wrecked and the airbrakes clIt off. In
side the cars there was considerable con-
fusion as pieces of wreckage were
strewn about.
The passengers got out of the coaches
as soon as possible and stood around
congratulating themselves on their es-
cape from injury. AT nine O'Clock re-
lief train was made up at Montpelier
junction and brought them in, while a
wrecking train was sent to the scene to
repair the damage TO the track. The
damage was confined chiefly to the side
track as the main line and the traffic
was not interfered with to any extent
The wrecked cars stood clear of the
main line One of the cars the diner
was tipped at dangerous angle.
Following the recovery of their poise
by the passengers, they warmly con-
graduated Engineer Granview on his
quickness of action in bringing the train
to a stop. To him was accorded the
credit for averting what might have
been a terrible catastrophe. Many of
the passengers were brought to Mont
pelier, where they remained until later
trains to continue their trips.

EXPERIMENT FARM DESIRED.
Some Rutland County Farmers Prefer 1t
To Agricultural College.

Burlington, Aug 13.-That experiment
farms, instead of more agricultural col
leges, are needed in Vermont was the
sentiment of about 20 representative
farmers at the hearing held in the roof
garden of the Van Ness house yester-
day afternoon before the commission TO
investigate the educational system and
conditions of Vermont. OF the commIs-
sion there were present Chairman John
H. Watson, James B. Estee, Allison f.
Tuttle and George E. Hunt, clerk. The
meeting was to hear the sentiment In
regard to the expenditure of $4,000
which was appropriated by the last leg
islature for the purpose of establishing
a school of agricultural in Addison or
Rutland counties.
All of those present came from Rut-
land county and were in favor of locat-
ing an experiment farm in that county.
The most spirit was shown by the town
Of Middletown Springs, which was rep
resented by seven people. H. c. Cope
land of New York City has provided
a farm of 800 acres in that place which
will be given to the state on condition
that an experiment farm be located
there. The farm is about evenly divided
between pasture, woodland and meadow.
and last winter took care of ll0 head
of cattle. Two houses of IA rooms each
are located on it and with 1000 maple
trees it is valuable property. As an
additional inducement toward getting
the experiment farm into their town,
the people of Middleton Springs have
voted to appropriate $1,000 toward fit
ting up the farm for experimental pur
poses.
