oUINcY's TRIPLE PROTEST.
To Be Sent To Washington Against the
Reduction of Granite Tariff.

Saturdays Quincy, Mass, Ledger con-
tains the following account of plans IN
that city to protest against the reduction
OF duty on grantee
''In response to an invitation from the
Granite Manufacturers association, the
special committee Of the Boarl of Trade
and a committee from the granite cut
ters' union met Friday evening IN the
rooms of the manufacturers association
to discuss the proposed duty on dressed
granite as provided in the new tariff
bill which has now passed the national
House of Representatives and is now
before the Senate.
ut was thought at first that the
three associations should compirc and
send letter OF protest setting forth
that the reduction in the tarii ON gran
ite as proposed wculd open the ports OF
foreign countries to competition With
New England. that New England would
be in no condition to meet chat eonpeti.
tion and as a result the effect would
be disastrous on this industry.
''The gentlemen present talked the
subject over in an informal way and
il was finally decided that each asso-
citation should individually send pro-
test. 1t was deemed advisable to send
these letters as soon as possible, but
it seemed necessary to get some statis-
tics before they were sent, that the
matter might be presented in as favor
able manner as possible. 1t will there
fore not be possible to forward these let
tiers to-day, but it is hoped that they
may be forwarded early in the week.
'As now planned the letters will be
sent to Senators Lodge and Weeks and
also to the ways and means committee
of the United States Senate.
at was generally agreed by the gen
tlemen present that reduction in the
tariff as proposed would mean ruination
Of the granite business as far as New
England and Quincy in particular was
concerned

U. S. AND STATE JOIN
In Effort to Clean Up Resorts Near Fort
Ethan Allen.

Burlington, May Estates Attorney
T. 4. Hopkins, Sheriff j. II. Allen, Dep
uty l.. NJ. Ravlin and Lieutenant Conard
OF the 10th cavalry conducted an lnyes-
tigation of some of the resorts in the
vicinity Of Fort Ethan Allen Saturday
afternoon and made three arrests on the
charge OF keeping intoxicating liquor on
hand for illegal sale. The officers of the
post are determined to close these re-
sorts, which are just on the line OF the
reservation, and it was on their com
plant that the searches were made.
The first place visited was in the rear
Of the veterinary hospital and occupied
by Farrier Sessions and his family. Att.
er some search, four cases of beer were
discovered in washtubs in the shed near
the house. and also a quantity OF wins
kew. While the officers were there. a
woman drove up with three cases more
OF beer and some hard stuff, and this
was also seized. Mrs. Retina Sessions
who appeared TO be conducting the place
saw the team driving up and warned
the woman, who told story Of getting
the eontraband goods for the purpose Of
celebrating a wedding. Some questions
on the part OF the states attorney, how.
ever. brought out a different story. anc
Mrs. Sessions was taken into custody
She later pleaded guilty to the seizure
case before Judge Conlin in Winoosk
and furnished bail in the sum of 500 in
the other case
From some OF the information CLEANED
in this investigation, the officers became
convinced that Louise Hindes alias Lou.
Use Dixon. who conducts house oppo'
site the Fanny Allen hospital, was also
selling liquor Illegally and the party
turned their attentions in that direction
Here the liquor and beer was concealed
more carefully and it was some time
before the officers of the law discovered
trapdoor located under mating IN
part of the house where no basement
was supposed to be. Here five cases Of
beer and several bottles of whiskey were
found. George Good, a colored man, who
said his home was in New York City
and that he had been in this vicinity
only a month, claimed the liquor and
was arrested with Mrs. Dixon Hindes
He pleaded guilty in the Winooski court
and was sentenced TO spend three months
in Jail The case against the woman
was mol pressed. Mrs. Hines is the wife
of the man who was arrested for con-
Quoting the restaurant formerly oper-
ated by Slim Braxton and who later
changed his residence in a night from
Colchester to Montreal.

Truck Killing Case.

Burlington. May l2.-An autopsy con-
ducted Saturday on the body OF Frank
Donnclly, who was killed Friday by the
automobile truck going to fire, showed
that the unfortunate mans skull was
fractured and his legs broken in many
places, and that he received other in
juries which caused instantaneous death.
No arrests have been made as a result
of the accident, but hearing will prob
ably be held in city court on some day

The funeral of Mr.. Donnelly was held
at st. Paul's church yesterday after
noon at o'clock Rev. George Y. Bliss

Social league of which Mr.. Dennelly
was member. Burial was in Lake View
cemetery beside Mr.. Donnelly's mother.
During the regular church services Of
st Paul's at II o'clock, Rev George Y.
Bliss spoke feelngly of the late Mr.. Don
nelly's long and faithful service as or
gan blower OF the church for 46 years,
without missing a Sunday. He said
that bronze tablet would be placed
ON the wall in the north transept near
the spot where Mr.. Dennelly had Off
ciated so long as organ blower, in mem
ory OF the deceased.
The extent to which the church was
dependent on Mr.. Donnelly was shown
by the fact that no one could be found
with the requisite strength and skill to
blow the large organ yesterday, and a
small organ from the chapel was used.

Steamer Chiltern Range Narrowly Es-

the Titanic One Year Ago.

Montreal. May H.. The fate OF the
Titanic was narrowly escaped BY the
steamer Chiltern Range in collision
with an iceberg to the east OF tile New
foundIand banks on her voyage from
Hull to this port, where she arrived yes
terday.
The steamer. British freighter. had
bow plates badly dented by the glanclng
blow she struck the berg, and only the
fact that she luckily slid off the ice mass
and escaped contact with any sharp sec
tion Of The underlying portion Of II saved
her from disaster, in Captain Rea's opin-
ion.
The berg was struck in latitude 1910
west in the track Of the ocean liners.
After the collision tne steamer was sur
rounded by icebergs which although they
could not be seen evidenced their pres
ence by the echoes that resounded from
their towering sides at every blast from
the steamers whistle.
I'VE were going dead slow because OF
the dense fog which prevented US from
seeing more than a foot ahead" said
Captain Rea last night in describing the
steamers experience Suddenly an ice-
berg loomed up to starboard which | es-
tmated to be at least from l50 TO. 200
feet high 1t lowered above US. The
vessel touched it with her starboard bow
but fortunately the impact only badly
dentcd a couple of her plates. The Chill
tern Range struck the iceberg glancing
blow. No, we did not reverse the en-
gines, or | should not be here to tell the
tale. We just slid off the berg as it
were. Had the engines been reversed
there would probably have been a stem
