MONEY FOR POOR CHILDREN.
Mrs. F. D. Proctor and Daughters Give
$4,000 for Care and Upbringing.

Concurrently with their gift of $780,
600 to the endowment fund OF the Home
for Destitute Children at Burlington,
Mrs. Fletcher d. Proctor and her two
daughters, Miss Emily Proctor and Miss
Minnie Proctor, on Jan. gave the fur
Their sum OF $4,000 to trustees to use
the income ''for the physical care, treat
mcnt and upbringing of destitute small
children of the state of Vermont, and
especially infants" The trustees are
Mrs. Fletcher D. Proctor, Mortimer r.
Proctor and Frank c. Partridge, all of
Proctor.
This gift is made in execution of a
plan which Governor Proctor had formed
and for which he was preparing to make
provision at the time of his decease
In memory of him the donors have des-
gnated the fund as "The Fletcher d.
Proctor Fund for Destitute Children"
1t was particularly Governor Proctor's
wish that itsruse and benefits should be
general TO the state of Vermont, rather
than local.
The trustees are given large discre-
ton in the use of the income. They
have not as yet formulated any definite
plan with respect thereto but expect to
use a considerable part at least directly
for the care and upbringing of individ-
ual children through established homes
or otherwise or for their special medical
or surgical treatment where the neces-
sity for that is indicated.

For Legislation on the
Questions of
Trusts
BILLS COVERING ALL
PHASES OF SUBJECT
Drawn and Ready for Con-
gress-Chance to Fol-
low Morgan Example

| Washington, Jan. 9.--The administers
ton antitrust legislation program was
completed yesterday SO far as the pre-
liminary work by. the House committee
on Judiciary is concerned.
Bills have been prepared covering every
phase Of the trust question and are
ready for submission to the full COM
mittee soon after Congress reassembles
on Monday.
| The judiciary committee members will
confer next week with President VIII
son and the antitrust legislation details
will be made clear.
Representative Clayton of Alabama,
chairman of the committee, authorized
the announcement that in cooperation
with Representative Carlin OF Virginia,
/ chairman of the subcommittee on trusts,
and Floyd of Arkansas, he had finished
the preliminary work of the committee
on the subject of trust legislation. He
said that "bills touching every phase
OF the subject have been prepared" and
that upon the return of the full com
mittee to the city the bills will be tax
en- up for consideration
The views of the president and of
the Democratic party as expressed in the
national platform have been followed in
the preparation of the bills, according to
Mr.. Clayton. He declined to give the
details of the proposed legislation but
said the Sherman antitrust law had
been left intact. He also stated that
ono of the bills would cover interlocking
directorates.
1t is known that this bill has been
drawn so it would not take effect until
two years after its passage, This is
to permit corporations to adjust them
selves to any necessary reorganization.
Members of the committee believe other
large interests will follow the example
OF J. p. Morgan & Co.. and George F.
Baker in withdrawing from direetorates
in other large concerns.

bany, n. Y. Census statistics for 1911
show that the chance of death is greater
in these two municipalities than in any

per 1000 in 1911.
On the other hand if life looks good
Seattle, Wash, is the best bet, for it
had the lowest death rate-S.S per 1000.
New Hampshire led the state group of
% states registered with Ill rate, as
against Washington's minimum OF 80,
Fall River and Lowell, Mass, cotton
mill cities, showed the highest death
rates of children under | year of age

RADIUM CANCER CURE ADVANCE
Exceptional Results Secured in Treat
ment at London Hospital.

London, Jan. 9.-Great progress in the
cure of cancer by radium is reported at
the Middlesex hospital, London, under
the direction of DIR. Lazarus Barlow
Only inoperable cases are admitted, and
while from June to September, 1912, the
mortality rate was 100 per cent, in
the same period of 1913, out of IS cases
admitted, SO died and 32 were discharged.
Most of the discharged patients are pur-
suing their daily occupation and only
one or two cases of recurrence have been
reported. DR.. Barlow is of the opinion
that these might have been avoided il
more powerful doses of radium had been
administered He found that $50 mil
ligrams buried in cancerous tumor
would destroy it. DR.. Barlow protests
against the inflated price of radium,
which he considers "a disgrace to civil
ization."

SPORTING NOTES.

The Dartmouth team will open the in
tercollegiate basketball league on FRI
day night against Yale. Prospects at
Yale are brighter than ever for a prom
Using team. The team is composed of
Margeson, center; Captain "Win" Snow,
and Loudon, guards; Sisson, Grant, Will
liams and Eskelne, forwards. Margeson
may not be able to take the first trip
away and Young will probably be the
choice for the pivot position. Snow and
Loudon are regarded as the best pair
OF ends ever developed at Dartmouth.
Brownell, who appeared in Barre last
season, will not be able to play for a
few weeks because of injuries. Will
liams is former Spaulding athlete.

GREATEST COLLECTION OF
CITRUS TREES PLANTED

The completest collection in the
world of varieties of citrus trees is
being brought together by the Uni
versity of California at its citrus ex-
pertinent station at Riverside. All
these living trees are to be expert
mented with to find and develop still
better and better varieties for Cali
fornia to raise commercially.
Already California produces more
citrus fruit than any other region in
the world, declares Dean H. j. Web
Der of the graduate school of tropical
agriculture in the annual report of the
College of Agriculture, just issued by
the University of California. But
splendid in quality as is this product,
there is still enormous opportunity for
advance. The commercial orchards of
the state are mostly limited to Wash
:ngton navel and valencia oranges,
Eureka and Lisbon lemons, Marsh
seedless grape fruit and the Dancy
tangerine.
"Those are doubtless the best varie-
ties now available" says Professor
Webber, "but it is questionable if they
represent the highest perfection OBJ
tainable."
Hence the great work now under
taken by the University of California
to collect and try out a vast range
of other varieties. Seven years ago
the university planted at Riverside
fourteen varieties in addition to the
ordinary sort. Up to the present year
fifty-three other different sorts had
been tudded at the citrus experiment
station. This year sixty-four stand
ard named varieties and seventy-siX
digerent minor varieties and selected
interesting forms have been brought
from Florida, Cuba and the Isle of
Pines by Professor H. S. Fawcett, and
five to ten trees budded with each
new Lud wood, or seedlings grown
from imported seed.
Numerous varieties brought as bud
wood from Brazil by A. D. Shamel of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture have also been propagated
at the station, for tests of new
varieties.
So by the use of this richly varied
collection of growing trees careful
systematic study of the citrus fruits
is in progress which promises results
of great significance for the vast cit
rus industry of California.
