State Factory Inspector Calhoun Nov
Engaged at Quarries.

! State Factory Inspector Allan Cal
noun OF Middlebury last night finished
his inspection of the industries OF Barre
having spent seven days in Barre and
Montpelier alone and still having the
quarry section To look over, whereas he
expected TO finish the work in day and
half. While more or less conversant
with the granite industry, Inspector Cal
houn was not prepared to find such mag
nit,de of business and he was very much
surprised.
And not only was he surprised at the
magnitude OF the city's industries but
he was much pleased at the attitude OF
the people toward factory inspection and
with the general efforts maintained to
secure good working condition. although
be found fault with some particulars,
notably the use of common drinking
ntcnsigs and lack of sanitary equipment
IN few of the granite plants.
Inspector Calhoun commenced at the
north end Of the city and worked through
10 the south end, most of the time being
occupied with granite plants. He said
lie found most OF the granite plants well
huilt and along roderr lines and equip.
ped with necessary appliances for safe
guarding workmen He was gratifed
ut the apparent pains which manufae-
turers have taken to protect their work
men from machinery.
As to the dust menace, the Inspector
reported that he has an engineer en-
gagged in an effort TO devise some means
to do away with the dust and he hoped
TO have an appliance worked out by the
coming fall. He noted the willingness OF
many manufacturers to install equip
ment which would have a tendency to
remove the dust nuisance but he was
forced to confess that the equipment
thus far devised had not filled the bill.
This morning Inspector Calhoun went
to Graniteville 70 begin the inspection
If the quarry section, and he expects to
be engaged in that work for several
lays

MORE SERIOUS CHARGE.
Has Been Preferred BY States Attorney
in Mcleod Woman's Case.

Charges of a serious nature have been
preferred by States Attorney j. Ward
Carver against Mrs. Georgia Mcleod of
IL Railroad street sometimes known as
Goldie Sun. who Is detained at police
headquarters on warrant which accuses
her of keeping house of i'll fame. The
woman was arrested yesterday by Off
icer Harry Gamble and arraigned before
Acting Judge A. A. Sargent in city court.
She entered plea of not guilty and
her detention at the station followed her
failure to secure bonds of $500 for her
appearance at hearing to be held next
Wednesday morning.
| In consequence OF what are said TO
! be sensational disclosures made by one
/ Goldie Whiteman, who was arraigned
Yesterday ON an intoxication charge
complaint has been made BY the states
attorney alleging that the respondent,
Mrs. Mcleod, has violated No. 22S of
the public statutes on two counts, at
least No. 22s is codifed as AN act
to prevent what is commonly known
as the white slave traffic. A war
rant calling for the arrest of the woman
on two counts was placed in the hands
of Chief of Police Samuel Sinclair last
night She is still in custody and it
will probably be served at some time
during the days preceding the hearing
OF next Wednesday
Under the provisions of the act. as
passed by the legislature of 1910. the
two counts constitute felony for which
the offender may receive, IL convicted,
fine Of not less than 5000. nor more than
$4,000. or imprisonment in the state pris-
IL
nor more than ten years. or both. The
charge accuses the respondent of pro-
curing a female for commercial purposes
and intmates that the woman has kept
at least one girl at her house on Railroad
street.
The act under which Mrs. Mcleod is
to be held was passed for the express /
purpose OF suppressirg what is known 1
as the white slave" traffic. although 1
the present case is the first of its kind /
to come up before the local court The /
respondent will likely be taken to the 4
county jail tonight to await hearing on
the first charge.
