The University Club Dinner.

DR.. John NJ Thomas, president of
Middlebury college, returned Tuesday
from Albany, N. Y, where he was one
of the speakers at the University club
dinner. The speakers were introduced
by Robert E. Whalen, president of the
club, and included Governor Sulzer,
Premier Borden of Canada, President
Hibben of Princeton university and Tai
colt Williams of the School of Journal
ism. The Albany Times Union in its
account of the dinner contains the
following comment on the speech of DR..
Thomas:
"Dr. John M. Thomas delivered a
speech of rare charm, With strokes of
consummate literary skill and touches
of the keenest Yankee humor he made
of the Yankee the guardian of the altar
of patriotism and the custodian of all
American virtues, with his most per-
feet type in Vermont, and that most
perfect type fostered in Middlebury
college. He won from Governor Sulzer
a hearty handshake when he told of the
fact that Silas Wright, whose father
paid his tuition with a load of hay, was
a graduate of Middlebury. and invited
the governor to come and see the record
of his ideal governor in the college
books, and the place where a memorial
hall will be erected to him.

FUSION

New York, Feb. 25.- Theodore
Roosevelt made public letter this
afternoon in which he indorses the idea
of fusion against Tammany Hall in the
municipal elections next fall. At the
same time he adds: Il am utterly OPP
posed to making a deal with any party
or organization to divide the spoils of

The letter is addressed to j. J. O'Con-
nell, president of the Hudson Progress

efficient, upright and Independent men,
chosen without regard to political
affiliation, and standing on a platform
which embodies those Progressive
principles which are of local applica.

Asks $4,000 for Rut in Road

Charles Millang, the well-known Bay
side florist, is suing the City of New
York for $25, 600 before Justice Van
Siclen and jury in the Supreme Court
in Long Island City, as the result of a
serious automobile accident.
Millang told the jury that on the
night of February last year he was
driving his runabout auto along Jackson
avenue. He hit rut in the road at
Forty-fourth street, Corona; the ma
chine was overturned and he was hurled
more than 100 feet. His scalp was
torn partly from his skull, his shoulder
was dislocated and he had other wounds
that required 1873 stitches by the sur
geons.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward
S. Malone contended Millang was going
so fast that, considering the general
condition of the road and the darkness,
he was driving carelessly. Brooklyn

way home from Sunday school had
stopped to slide on the ice. Their COM
bined weight caused it to crack omin-
ously and there was a rush for the
shore.
All got off safely except party of
two boys and two girls, who had been
in the very center of the pond. The ice
collapsed under them so suddenly that
all went through.
Darcy heard their screams and saw
that it would be impossible to reach
them over the ice. Some of the chill
dren had sleds, however, and he took
the ropes from these, tied them together
.and threw one end to the children
struggling in the water. All succeeded
in getting a hold on it; and then Darcy
called those who had escaped to his aid
and with much difficulty dragged the
half-drowned four ashore.
Those thus rescued were Alice Smith,
14-years- old, of 100 Central avenue;
Myra Casey, Is years old, of 207 Central
avenue; George Rodgers, ID years old,
of 103 Pine street, and Frank Curtis, 13
years old, of 81 Cass avenue, Carlstadt.
Darcy's mother is widow, who has
been struggling to give him good edu-
cation. She will have unexpected assist
ance now, as the wealthy residents OF
Carstadt have decided to reward the
boy handsomely for his rescue work.

SUFFRAGE IN MAINE A PARTY

1t will be determined today in Maine,
according to the scheduled legislative
program, whether the question of
woman suffrage is to become a party
issue in that State. This phase of a
complicated problem has happily been
avoided thus far in the States that have
given women the ballot on equal terms
with men, and in the country as a
whole. But in Maine the Democratic
leaders are energetically hustling to pre-
vent the House from giving a passage
today to the suffrage resolution that
was passed in the Senate last week.
Naturally they are working as quietly
as possible, but their efforts are the
talk of political Maine at the present
time.
When the resolution passed the
Senate, the only votes in opposition
were cast by six Democrats and one
Republican. In the House the Republi-
cans are united, or practically so, in
favor of the resolution. They have a
majority of over dozen, but a two
thirds vote is required in such case
Thus the Democratic campaign is to
keep enough of their men in line to pre-
vent two thirds vote, and yet avoid
the appearance of making their oppo-
sition party program. Whatever the
outcome, the Republicans are feeling
very well satisfied with the situation,
for they are convinced that the State
will have equal suffrage sooner or later,
and that the Democratic attitude will
prove Republican asset.
AS might be expected in Maine, this
issue, like almost everything else in the
politics of that good old State, is some
what tangled with the problem of pro-
hibition. The Democrats, who have
long been fighting to get prohibition
out of the constitution, feel that woman
suffrage will only strengthen the forces
of the prohibitionists. The Republi.
cans, who have an instinct for political
pioneering and dash of radicalism in
their nature, wholly aside from Bull
Moose activities in their ranks, are ap.
parently ready to make Maine the first
equal suffrage State east of the Missis
sippi, just as they made Maine the first
State east of Oregon to adopt the initia
tive and referendum. Boston Herald.

Bar Harbor VS. Automohi les.

Augusta, Me-, Feb. 81. - Summer
residents of Bar Harbor voiced their
opposition to the admission of auto
mobiles to that exclusive summer re-
sort in hearing before the judiciary
committee of the legislature. Presi-
dent-elect Woodrow Wilson was quoted
as favoring the plan of keeping auto
mobiles off the island of Mount Desert.
The hearing was on a proposal to
repeal the act passed by the legisla-
ture of 1909 debarring motor cars from
entrance to the island. Gen. Thomas
H. Hubbard Of New York, and DR..
Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus of
Harvard University, represented the
reiAonstrant summer colonists, while all
three members of the board of select
men of the town, as we'll as some bust
ness men and all the-yea round resi-
dents favored the repeal of the act.
The proponents claimed that the town
was deteriorating as a summer resort
on account of the exclusion of the auto
mobile, while on the other hand the
remonstrants claimed that the roads are
not suitable for the machines.
Doctor Eliot read card from Wood
row Wilson in which the president-elect
said he hoped the effort to keep the
automobiles off of Mount Desert island
would be successful.

BIRTHDAY PARTY OF PROGRESS
SIVES.

Boston, Feb. %. The Progressive
party of this State gave its first birth
day party in the South armory last
evening. 1t was the biggest thing of
its kind ever held in this city.
The enthusiasm for the cause was
such that after several Of the speakers
had been heard more than $50, 600 was
raised or pledged to be used in this
State. The largest contributor was
Charles H. Davis of Cambridge, who
gave $4,000.
There was a dinner and a lot more,
and first and last the gathering was
marked by intensity and enthusiasm.
About l, 700 were present, about one
third of them women. They came from
all over the State, from $50 cities and
towns, in special trains from the
western counties and the Cape.
There was music and singing, a great
variety of speaking, cheering galore,
and everybody congratulated everybody
else on the success of the event.
When Charles Sumner Bird arrived
he was given a warm reception and
when Joseph Walker rose to speak he
was cheered.
Over the speakers platform was a
large portrait of Washington decorated
with colors and flags and on either side
were banners bearing optomistic sta
tistics and pungent deductions from the
figures of the last election, State and
national.
Beside the State leaders, there Were
present Henry Allen, State chairman OF
the Progressive party in Kansas; Mary
Antin, the famous Russian-Americar
girl who lived some of the years of hei
young life in Boston snd graduated from
Radcliff; Ernest Kelly, chairman of the

New York, Feb. %. In its cam
paign for the elimination preventable
diseases, which authorities are quoted
as saying would mean an economic gain
of 81, 500, 900, 600 year to this country
the Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents today made public brief in
which an appeal is made for the proper
registration of vital statistics. This
brief will be presented to the Legisla-
lures of the States which are deficient
in recording births and deaths.
A well founded estimate says the
brief shows that $50, 600 of the million
and-a-half deaths each year in this
country are caused by preventable dis
eases. Proper application of scientific
knowledge would make prevention pos
sible if every State aided in keeping
records of diseases, births and deaths,
it is declared.

number of boys, at the Hoffman Boule-
ward and Horse Brook road, Brooklyn,
William Fink, years old, of 7 Browne

automobile. The machine was driven
by Robert Poole of Jamaica, and when
the chauffeur realized that he had
struck the lad he stopped his car and
picked the boy up He rnshed him to
his home and a local physician was called
in. The child was injured internally

Fatalities in Alps Numerous.

Berlin, Feb. 4.-The weather in the
Alps last summer was inclement, and
as result the number of fatal acct
cidents as to mountain climbers was re-
duced from 1872 to 95 Had the weather
been warm and summerlike the number
of tourists would have been normal;
there would have been the usual num-
Der of attempts to scale dangerous
peaks, and instead of 95 fatal accidents
there would have been something like
the 1872, recorded in 1911, or the average
of 1913 for the past ten years.
These statistics have just been made
public by the German-Austrian Alpine
society. BY far the larger number of
the fatalities of 1912 were due to falls
these amounted to SO out of the total OF
95, and the greater part of these &C.
Cured during high-mountain climbs.
Thirteen persons were caught by ava
lanches and killed; eight frozen to
death; three were carried over preci-
pieces by snow-slips, and three died OF
heart failure due to overexertion.
Sudden changes in the weather, par
ticularly unexpected snowstorms, were
the direct cause of many of the
deaths.

Madison, Wis, Feb. "a. Figures
complied by Assistant Secretary of
the State L. B. Nagler show that since
1903 the State of Wisconsin has paid
$40S, Asa in bounties for the destruc-
ton of wolves, wildcats and lynxes.
One-half of the amount was paid out
of the State treasury and the other half
by the counties in which the animals
were killed
Thousands of bounties have been
paid on fraudulent claims, Mr.. Nagler
believes. He tells of an ingenious
fraud whereby house cats are killed
and skinned. the claws partly drawn,
to make them appear long and formid-
able, and the tails folded inward to
make them short and thick like those of
wildcats. A bounty of Sc encourages
the raising of gray cats.
Several western counties pay bounties
on rattlesnakes. 1t is said that rattles
are sometimes removed without killing
the reptile, the rattles are presented
for bounty payment, and the snake is
allowed to grow second crop of rattles
for the bounty swindler.
Mr.. Nagler believes that foxes
should be protected, not exterminated
as they kill rabbits, woodchucks, mice
and other destructive rodents on the
| farms

ALUMNI LETTER.
m iddlebury College Men to Hold
Banquet March


President John M. Thomas has just
issued circular letter to the alumni of
Middlebury college residing in Vermont
inviting them to banquet to be held at
Battell hall on the night of Friday,
March Z, next. The main purpose of
which is to organize Vermont Alumni
association.
President Thomas calls attention to
the fact that the Legislature and Gov
ernor have executed . law giving an
additional fund of $12, 300 annually to
this college, making the total annual
appropriation from the State from and
after the first day of next July $2S, 800.
This is the largest addition to the
yearly income of the college ever
brought about at one time and it makes
possible the largest addition to the
instructing staff and to the facilities
offered to students over affected at
Middlebury in one year. The appropria-
ton doubles the State scholarships,
$2400 being for this purpose and the
! balance of SD, 400 is for instruction in
general subjects.
Following upon the notable gains for
the past few years President Thomas
thinks that this new advance is certain
ly cause for exuberent rejoicing, and he
says that from DR.. Sherman of the
class of 1888, our oldest living graduate
to the last youngster who walked of
with his diploma in last June, from
Roland in Japan and Munroe in the
Philippines to DR.. Barton in his office a
the University club, every man of VI
ought to throw up his hat and every
woman her bonnet. This one appro
pration is half of the total income o
the college only a few years ago ant
the president asks hearers to warm VI
optimism and establish their conviction
that old Middlebury is the growing
college of the east by soul cheering
figures, showing that in 1905 the facult,
consisted of nine members only Their,
were 1lS students and the income of tn
college was $25, 9l4, of which the stu
dents paid $3340 from that year to tn
; present year. The number of profes
sors on the faculty has increased to %
the students to $50, the total income t.
$40, 748, and the income from student
to $26, 000 The general education
board fund has been paid in, the who'll
of the 5000, 900. One fourth of it is il

7O-Foot Steel SIoop

BRISTON, r. l., Sept. 6.-Nat Here's
hofr, cIe yacht designer, Is home from
an extensive conference with some OF
the foremost members of the New York
Yacht Club. bringing with him an order
fo- a steel sloop intended to defend the
Americas Cup against the challenger OF
Sir Thomas Upton In the series of con-
tests at Sandy Hook in 1914.
Designer Herreshoff has been away
n his yacht. the Helianthus. at New
York since last Tuesday. 1t appears
that the craft that Mr.. Herreshon has
designed will be only 20 feet on the
water line. and not IS feet or longer.
Rumor has 1t here that the challenger
NAV have water line shorter than
seventy feet although Sir Thomas Lip
tons early negotiations this year were
for a craft with a seventy-five-foot wa
ter line.
Designer Herreshoff had little to say
about the order, and as soon as he re-
turned from New York he got to work
in his model room. The news at once
leaked out and before dark all the me-
chanics at the boat shops were aware
of the order While another order is
expected at Herreshoff's for similar
defender before long. all energy will be
bent at present on the craft which VI is
declared the New York Yacht Club
sanctions and supports. II 1t really Is
not back of the order. No names of
owners are disclosed. The new defender
will be of similar dimensions to the
seventy footers Yankee and three 9TH
ers built here In 1900
