$4,000 FIRE IN BURLINGTON
Plant Of the Shepard G. Morse Lum-
Der Co. Practically Wiped Out.

Burlington, Feb. 1S.--Fire, which
was discovered at o'clock this morn
ing In the dry kiln room at the Shep-
ard and Morse plant here, practically
wiped out the plant, threw 100 men
out of employment and caused pro-
perty damage of about $4,000. The
loss is covered by insurance, written
in Boston. The cause of the fire is
unknown.
Starting in the dry kiln, the blaze
spread rapidly. in the kiln some $50,
600 feet of lumber were burned. The
machine shop was the next to go and
the band room soon followed. A
shed containing 100000 feet of lum.
Der took fire and was burned to the
ground and several piles of lumber
were also consumed. The total loss
in lumber is placed at 100000 feet
The fire was stopped short distance
from the Champlain Transportation
Co.'s wharf.
1t is thought that this means the
end of the Shepard Morse Co., doing
business here. as the land occupied
by the plant was owned by the Rut-
land Railroad Co., as were also the
buildings; and there Is some feeling
that this fact will operate against
resumption of the business

onel's criticism in finding an echo
at this session of the legislature.
The contempt proceedings them.
selves stirred up lot of trouble
among the radicals and gave point to
criticisms that the court had assum-
ed more power than had been intend
ed in the Constitution. The legisla-
ture now has under consideration pro
posals for a constitutional amend
ment which would limit the power of
the court in many ways, and some
such proposal will undoubtedly be
submitted to the people.
Hostility to the court was sharply
shown over proposal to add two
members to the three now on the
bench. 1t had been represented on
behalf of the judges that they were
overworked and should have assis-
lance. Some legislators, however,
said in debate that IL the judges
should attend strictly to their work
and not endeavOr to enlarge their
powers they would be able to keep
up with their calendar. The resolu-
ton for a constitutional amendment
to increase the court was decisively
defeated in the Senate.
In the warm discussion Chief JUS
tice Ailshie came under criticism
because Of his activity in seeking a
United States Senatorship in the re-
cent contest. Senator Fairchild Of
Ada County said:
Recently one of the judges gave
two months of his time to the ad-
vancement Of his personal political
ambitions, practically TO the exclus-
.on Of other matters.
There is going to be Just indigna-
ton on the part Of the people when
this fact becomes generally known.
When half the attorneys of the state
get behind a judge for political Of
fee and keep him away from his le-
gal work for two months. what will
the people Of the state think when
they ask for help?"

WOMAN ELEcToR LIKED TAFT
Mrs. Witcher Found He Bore No Re-

Mrs. Witcher Found He Bore No Re-
sent ment Against Roosevelt.
Salt Lake, Feb. 17.--Mrs. Margaret
Zane Witcher is glad that she was
one of the handful of electors who
cast their votes for the reelection of
President Taft. She carried the vote
of Utah to Washington and met the
President, and was much struck by
his personality.
Although Utah was swung to Taft
church, Mrs. Witcher is not a Nor
mon. In fact, she was the daughter
of Judge Zane, who was once regard
ed by the Mormons as their greatest
foe.
When she arrived at Washington
she found that the President had ex-
tended a cordial invitation for a
visit. She did not go at once and Mr..
Taft met Senator Smoot and said
Hello, Senator, where is that
charming woman from Utah you
were going to bring over to see me?
Mrs. Witcher at the interview ex-
pressed her disappointment over the
result of the election but found the
President was not repining.
IF the disappointment of Presi-
dent Taft over his defeat for the
Presidency is great, he certainly does
not show 1t" she says. He was ap-
parently bubbling over with good
humor when | met him, and he joked
about the result of the election as II
II made no difference whatever to
him. He struck me as a big, broad
minded man, who is too big and too
broad to allow anything like a de
feat to disturb his equanimity. He
was most cordial TO me, and GER
tainly appreciated it.
There was one thing at the White
House that struck me forcibly. In
viw of the fight made upon President
Taft by former President Roosevelt,
it would naturally be supposed that
President Taft would treasure some
resentment. But If SO there is moth
ing to indicate 1t. For example
saw pictures of Col Roosevelt In
nearly every room that | entered in
the White House. and was not a lit
tie astonished when | observed a
large picture of the former president
over the desk in President Taft's pri-
vate office"

Pittsburg Man Writes Bennington
Physician That Definite Results
Have Not Been Attained.

Berlin, Feb. 20.--It is reported
here that DR.. Friedman, who is on
his way to America to attempt to
cure 95 per cent of a certain number
of patients afflicted with tuberculosis
by means of his recently discovered
serum, has made application to the
patent office in Washington, U. s. A..
for patents covering his formula and
methods of manufacture.
A local physician, writing at the
request of resident of Bennington.
has received in reply letter from
DR.. A. B. Held of Pittsburg, Pa, the
first person in America to use the
Friedman cure. DR.. Held went to
Germany and procured the remedy
in the hope that its use would affect
cure in the case of his wife. He
writes that the results so far are in
definite, but that the details will be
reported in full to the American
Medical association, provided that
organization sees fit TO publish.
The serum, DR.. Held writes, cannot
be purchased at any price as yet. He
has as yet secured no proofs as to
the value of the remedy. Most of
the reports of the progress Of the
case have been based upon news
paper stories with little foundation.
DR.. Held admits that while the re-
suits so far attained are encouraging
to him he is willing to confess that
the apparent improvement may be
due to mental impression on mind
too receptive to hope to judge fairly

THE MUFFLER CUT-OUT.

The increased power resulting from the use of the muffler -cut-out is not enough to warrant it's use, according to Stewart Mcdonald of the Moon Motor Car Go. While there is a cer- tain amount of back pressure in the muffler, the resultant loss of power is not enough to warrant the nul- sance that the constant use of the cut-out becomes, Mcdonald declar- ed. The noise of the engine when the cut-out is in use, is unpleasant not only to people in general, but to the occupants of the car as well. And while the exhaust from the cylinders going directly to the ground as it does when the muffler is cut-out, the dirt on the street is stirred up and the air is contaminated" Many au- tomobilists use the cut-out fors the purpose of attracting attention rath- CT than for the real utility from a power stand point. To many, too, it has become a sort of a, notion that the car is running better when the nuffler' is not working.
