FILLING ITS RANKS
Company D To Be Ready If Called
For Military Service-Plans
For Maneuvers.

Capt. H. A Wilcox of Company d,
is busy these days filling the ranks
of Company D, to the required num-
ber of men and officers in case call
is issued for the militia to serve in
the Mexican war. Before the war
agitation began the company had 55
men and officers but the government
calls for 68 men and officers. Re-
cruits have been coming in since it
was known there was a possibility of
being called out. Last week. six new
men we're added to the roster and
last week more Joined. So the Cap
tain will have the full number when
ever the call comes.
1t will be already for active SER
vice too as a recent inspection show
ed the men fully equipped. 1t is
possible some changes will be
made in the membership in case
of a call being issued because
the military authorities have decided
that no married enlisted men shall
be allowed to enter the United States
volunteer service, whether they are
now members of the National Guard
or not, unless they can show that
their families will be suitably pro-
vided for. Married men who are
already enlisted will not be discharg-
ed at the present time, but cOmpan-
les having such men on their rolls
will take that fact into consideration
in securing of additional men.
In his orders Adjutant-General
L. S. Tillotson also says:
''In addition to securing the re-
ifc dfFnnfnd no nrn0ndfnor
paragraph, you will also secure a list
of suitable men to a sufficient num-
Der to raise your company to at
least war strength. These additional
men will not be enlisted until fur
ther orders and no expense for physi-
cal examinations or otherwise will be
incurred in this respect"
Should a call come the Vermont
men undoubtedly would gather at
the state camp ground near Fort
Ethan Allen and Capt. Wilcox could
have his men entrained within "a
hours from the time of receiving
the call. 1t could be done quicker
but a few members of the company
are out of the state and would have
to be notified.
The regular inspection of Co d,
by a federal officer is booked for the
second week in May and will be held
then unless the call to service comes
before then.
Capt. Wilcox received a letter Mon
day from Adjutant-GeneraI Lee S.
Tillotson saying that the plan was
to call the company out for manouv-
ars with the government troops in
for 10 days during
the first two weeks of August. These |
plans of course are contingent upon
the developments in the Mexican af-
fair.

The gifts included a beautiful
gold-headed ebony cane from the

name and all join in extending con-

on the happy event so happily cele-
brated.
Mr.. and Mrs. Young were married
April 25, 1854 in the old St. Johns

hold their golden wedding festivities
there had not the repairs on the
building prevented. The first year
of their married life was spent in
Detroit where Mr.. Young was hold
ing a position at the time Of his mar
riage in the cattle yards. Returning
to Vermont they purchased a farm
in Waterford where they spent the
next "a years. In 1889 they sold
this TO their eldest son and came
to st. Johnsbury where their two
youngest sons entered school. They
bought a lot on Ely street on which
they built a house and Mr.. Young
started the Summerville Wood Yard.
He sold this business in 1899 and
started the Young woodward which he
retained until two years ago when
he retired and he and Mrs. Young

sachusetts, however, that they came
back to Vermont to be near the old
friends and see the old familiar
places. Mr.. Young was born in
Waterford, August 2, 1889 and has
spent practically his whole life In
this section. He remembers attend
ing the first cattle fair ever held
here and in all the years since has

SHERB THROWN TWICE
Fitz Hanson Too Much For st. Johns
bury's Strong Man

F'itZ Hanson Too Much For st. Johns
bury's Strong Man
Thursday night, Sherb went down
to defeat at the hand of Fitz Hanson,
worlds welter-weight champion. The
match was for the New Hampshire
and Vermont title, and though Sherb
outweighed Hanson, he was almost
continually on the defensive, and the
Swede had the match well in hand
all the time, though he had to work
hard to win. Sherb took a lot of
punishment, especially around his
head, and his face was puffed up
when he returned after the fifteen
minute rest Hanson concentrated
his attack on Sherb's head, figuring
that Sherb is always on the defensive
when the toe-hold is imminent, and
realizing soon after the start, that
Sherb was too heavy to be thrown
by body holds.
Hanson tried various holds but
was unsuccessful Sherb's, strength
freed him from several bad predica-
ments. but the worst hold he en-
counted was a head scissors and arm
hold. Three times, the Norseman
got this hold on SheTb but could not
pin him to the mat. Sherb realized
he was up against a more skillful
man, for he did not continue often
sive operations long for Hanson
would change a hold of Sherb's into
a move to his own advantage with
apparent ease. For Al minutes the
men wrestled with constant shifting
of positions and then Sherb could not
break the head scissors and was pin
ned to the mat for the first fall.
On the return the men were on
their feet for over 5 minutes, both
looking for an opening, and it was
Hanson who caused them to take to
the mat by kicking Sherb's feet from
under him and in IL minutes from
the beginning of the second try Fritz
had another head scissor that Sherb
could not break and the match was
over.

SHERIFF. DOING GOOD WORK
Edwin Temple Located in New York.
Twenty-Six BARRELS of Beer
Seized at the Freight
Station


Seized at the Freight
Station
Some time ago a burglar entered
Roy Brothers boarding house at East
Barnet and made way with several
mileages, a watch, and a revolver
A few days later, someone entered
a room in the hotel at West Burke
and took several valuables. An in
vestigation proved that the same man
did both jobs, and he was traced
thrOught Canada and into New York
state, where he was apprehended at
Fort Ann. He was arrested at that
place and gave his name as Edwin
Temple. Temple was brought to
this place to face the charges against
him and is confined in the jail here.
He will be given a hearing this morn
ing
Twenty-six barrels of beer con-
signed to the Latin-American settle
ment near the Fairbanks Scale Co.
were seized yesterday morning by
the Sherif's department and taken to
the municipal court rooms. Although
on arrests have been made as yet,
it is believed that interesting develop
ments will follow this seizure and in
the meantime the aforesaid colony
is remarkably dry.

SHAW HAS RIVAL
LODGED IN JAIL
Darling Arrested on Warrant
Charging Elopement With
MorristoWn Woman.

NEW YORK, April 2.-The culmi-
nation Of the controversy between
Richard s. Darling, head of several
corporations, and Robert Marsden
Shaw. a banker and broker who lives
in Morristown, N. j., in which the for
mer figured as the defendant in "a suit
for alternating the affections of Mrs
Shaw, came yesterday when Darling
was arrested and locked up in the
Westchester county Jail on charge
of being at the Gedney Farms Hotel
Westchester, with Mrs Shaw. Dar-
ling has not yet been released on bail
Darling was arrested yesterday aft
ernoon while on his way from his
home at 167 West Seventy second
street on a bench warrant based on
an Indictment found In Westehester
county. He was arraigned In court at
White Plains, and his bail fixed at
50, 900. He was unable to obtain that
sum and was sent to jail.
Early last January, Shaw brought
suit against Darling for $50. 900 on the
charge that he eloped with eighteen
year-old Mrs Shaw. 1t was learned
that Shaw had applied vainly to the
United States authorities for action
under the Mann act. The banker
then took the case TO District Attor-

FOR RANSOM BY
villa, ESCAPES

NEW ORLEANS, April Luis
Terrazas, jr., the Mexican millionaire.
whom Villa was holding for ransom.
and whose death had been threatened
by his captor several times, has es-
capped, according to report here.
No details Of the escape are known,
beyond statements that the wealthy
prisoner of the rebels was aided in his
flight by an old servant OF the Ter
razas family, and a follower of Villa,
who was induced to turn against his
chief and aid the prisoner.
The report adds that the three made
their way to Saltillo, which is outside
the zone controlled by the rebels, and
will proceed TO Mexico City.
On March it was reported from
Chihuahua. where Terrazas was held.
that he had only . few hours To live.
A demand for S500,000 pesos (S25o000
in gold) had been made upon the
prisoners father, the aged General
Luis Terrazas, who had fled to El
Paso when the federal garrison evac-
uated Chihuahua.
General Terrazas then declared he
had been stripped of his entire for
tune by the rebels, and was unable to
meet Villas rapacious demand.

TOWNS WON'T GET
PHONE EXTENSION
Utility Board Withholds APP
proval, but Company May
Apply Again.

TRENTON, April 2.-The Board OF
Public Utility Commissioners today
withheld its approval of certain or
dinances of the townships of Hope,
oxford, Knowlton and Blairstown for
the extension of the service of the Pa
irons Telephone Company The APP
proval of the ordinances for the eX-
tens ons were opposed by the West
Jersey Toll Line Company The
boards refusal will not defer the Pa
trous Telephone Company from ap-
plying for permission for the eXten-
sions again, if specified conditions
made by the utility commission are
complied with.
There m ght have been force in the
plea for the approval Of the ordi-
nances says the board, and for set
ting up an independent exchange if
the West Jersey Toll Line Company,
on acquiring the local telephone sys-
tenn in Blairstown, had been negligent
or derelict in improving service. The
testimony is altogether TO the con-
trary.
The board calls the attention of the
Patrons Telephone Company 10 tho
fact that the statute requires every
public utility to obtain from the com
mission approval Of the issue of Sc
curitles The Patrons Telephone Com
pany, by its own admission. says the
board, has outstanding capital stock
issued since the utility law became
effective. Application should at once
be made to validate the stock issues.
Continuing, the report says. The
Patrons Telephone Company. in a
communication to this board, has
asked the board to afford Information
on several matters. In reply thereof
the board would say. first, that 1t can
not see that its asset is necessary to
the termination of the present con-
tract between the Patrons Telephone
Company and the West Jersey Toll
Line Company. The board would say,
Second. that in case such contract is
terminated the Patrons Telephone
Company would appear TO have q
right to exercise duly approved fran
chises covering any territory not al
ready adequately supplied with tele-
phone service.

CALM PRECEDES
STORM IN SENATE
FIGHT ON REPEAL
Wilson's Foes Prepared to
Force Demand for More
information.

WASHINGTON.t April 2.--Informal
discussions of the Panama tolls con-
troversy, centering upon the various
bills awaiting action in the Senate
continued today, pending considera-
tion by the Inter-o Canals Com
mittee on the administrations repeal
bill scheduled to begin next Tuesday
Senators characterized the situation
now existing as the lull that precedes
the storm and declared that once the
actual opening of the fight on the
floor is reached. a spectacular scene
would be staged.
1t was apparent today among both
the administrators and anti-repeal
forces that the issue would not be
permitted to be affected by the lull.
Persistent efforts will be made, it
was said by friends of the bill, to
prevent any unnecessary delay. Sem
ator O'Gorman, chairman of the In
ter-ocean Canals Committee and lead
ing opponent of the repeal. reiterated
his intention to call meeting of the
committee Tuesday, and Senator
Owen, leading the administration
forces, asserted that public hearings
pn Int bl1 NcIt illiitfCtSStlly anu
would serve only to prolong the con-
troversy.
Senator Norris was prepared today
TO demand immediate considerable
OF his resolution providing for arbi-
tratfon of the treaty disputes involved
In the tolls controversy. Senator
PoindeXter was ready to take ad-
vantage of the first opportunity to
bring up his measure calling for a
postponement of consideration of the
tolls question until President Wilson
submits the details of the foreign re-
lations existing between the United
States and other countries affected by
the repeal. Senator Jones furnished
another possibility for action today.
He declared his intention to press his
resolution providing that the Presi-
dent furnish the Senate with the
names of all nations which have pro-
tested against the tolls exemption
clause and was resolved TO force it
into early action
Estimates carefully compiled by the
leaders of the two factions show that
the Administration forces have the
requisite votes to pass the repeal bill
by n narrow margin only.
