an effort to settle the controversy as
we'll as TO prevent further trouble at

1T is an awful situation in COlora-
do. All sides have asked for federal
intervention. Our people are de-
handing protection from the gunner
While the arms OF our people are

will result more dissstrously.
Alarm was added in word from El

Immediately to invade Texas, and as
the protection of the border cities has
been greatly decreased by the send
ing of American troops to Vera Cruz,
thousands OF residents In the south
ern Texas towns face massacre.
Preparations are being made to
rush arms and ammunition to the resi-
dents OF the Texas cities which face
invasion by the Mexieans. Governor
Colquitt and offieisls of many Texas
cities repeatedly have appealed to the
government either for more troops
to guard against such invasion or for
guns and ammunition with which to
protect themselves,
President Wilson answered that the
government supply of war munitions
was limited and that compliance with
the Texans appeals was impossible.
1t Is believed now. however, Ia the.
face OF the recent attempted inva.
sions by Huertistas. that no time will
be lost in sending the arms asked for.

PROTECTING RUTLAND WATER.
City and State to Remove Road Near
One Of the Brooks.

Rutland, Aug ls.--The city is ready
to cooperate with the state highways
department in the town of Mendon in
taking the Woodstock stage road away
from the brook which supplies Rutland
with water according to the vote of the
aldermen at the regular meeting last
night. when not more than ST 900 was
appropriated to change the location Of
about half a mile of highway there.
This was the answer of the city gov
ernment to the proposition of State
Highway Commissioner Charles w. Gates
of Franklin that the state would bear
half the expense in running $500 feet of
road up instead of around the hill east
of the road to killington. The work
will cost about $1,000. The city's share
will be taken from the water fund ac-
cording TO the resolution. The object is
to remove the highway, with its chance
OF contamination, from the brook, as far
as the local authorities are concerned.

NO PRICE COMBINE IN BOSTON
According to, Report to U. S. District
Attorney French.

Boston, Aug. ls.-There has been nc
combination among dealers in this city
for the purpose of advancing the prices
of food because of the war, according
to a preliminary report of an investi-
CATION here which was made to United
States District Attorney French yester-
day.
Special Agent Howard of the depart
ment of justice, who directed the inquiry,
reported, however that there was an
apparent understanding or cohesion of
action among dealers, large and small,
which had the same effect on prices as
would an actual alliance Practically all
the dealers, the agents found, had
availed themselves to some extent of the
opportunity to boost prices.
Investigators found that many mer-
chants had endeavored to obtain large
quantities of foodstuffs, with the pur-
pose of waiting a further opportunity of
prices. Dealers generally re-
ported they tried 10 hold their sales to
a minimum, that they might hoard the
supplies on hand.

Joseph Bioty of West Rutland, was bad
ly and possibly fatally burned yester-
day afternoon, while she and her five
year-old brother, Jack" were playing

alarmed their mother, the little girl was
seriously burned. DR.. j. b. Guiltnian
