But the Vermont Democrats
Were Put in Tangle When
Watson Was Presented
SO THEY ADJOURNED
TO THIS AFTERNOON
Adopt Resolution of Sympa-
thy for President
Wilson

Burlington, Sept. 23.--The Democratic
state convention for nominating state
ticket and candidate for United States
senator assembled at the Strong theatre
this forenoon at ll:l5 o'clock, there be-
ing about 450 delegates present out OF
possible 633.
Fred C. Brown of Pownal, chairman of
the state committee, called the conver-
tion to order and announced that P. NJ.
Meldon of Rutland would be Chairman
and T. l.. Howley of Burlington secre-
tary. Mr.. Meldon was received with en-
thusiasm. and soon the temporary or
ganization was made permanent.
The first formal action of the conven-
tion was the adoption of resolutions ex
pressing the sympathy of Vermont Dem
ocrats to President Wilson over the death
of Mrs. Wilson.
The nomination of candidate for
United States senator was then taken
up, but the business was not completed
when adjournment was taken for dln-
ner. J. f. Burke of West Rutland placed
the name of Charles A. Prouty, the Pro-
gressive and Prohibition candidate, be-
fore the convention, soon followed by
John II. Senter Of Montpelier in nom
mating P. M. Meldon of Rutland. At
the close of Mr.. Senter's remarks Mr..
MeIdon declared that he would not serve
as a candidate, and so the nomination
was withdrawn. n. c. Shurtleff OF
Montpelier nominated Charles D. Wat
son of st. Albans for senator.
At this point J. f. Burke of Burling
ton arose and asserted that Mr.. Watson
was slated for another nomination and
he did not think it right to take action
on his nomination for senator until Mr..
Watson's views could be ascertained.
Then Mr. Burke moved that the conven-
tion adjourn until 2 o'clock this after
noon, and thenlotion prevailed.
The Platform.
The committee on resolutions present
ed a platform severely scoring the Re-
publican party for state and national
activities. recommending the abolition OF
the Office of attorney general and sew
eral state commissions, favoring work

ty and municipal judges and eondemninr

Newsboys Actors and Actresses Of the Orpheum Do Spen
did Work; Large Sum Raised For Relief; Palace
Theater Will Have Benefit Tomorrow Half of Days
Receipts to Go Toward Feeding Starving People of
War Zone; Druggist Ktzmiller Gets Into the Good
Work With Contribution Station

The newsboys and the actors and
actresses of the Orpheum Theater We'd
with each other in the streets in the
business section of the city last even
ing selling Telegraphs for the benefit
of the Belgian relief fund. The entire
company of players. some of them in
costume, turned out with big wagon
on which was mounted a plano, pre-
sided over by Mr.. Conlin in a manner
which caused the crowd that congre-
gated about to frequently break forth
in applause. Some of the actors did
a few of their stunts as an added
attraction and the Australian tumbl-
ers built pyramids and delighted Mar
ket street pedestrians with numerous
other feats seldom seen outside of a
first class vaudeville house.
1t was some show and after all the
pennies, the nickels and the dollars
the company had earned the tidy sum
which will pay the board bill for sew
far-off Belgium. All of those who took
part did well, but the laurels went to
Miss Hamilton. who turned in more
than Sc as her share.
The newsboys were not surpassed
either in energy or craftsmanship by
the show people. They knew they
were working in a good cause and they
went at it with a will. Half of all the
profits they made yesterday, by spe-
cial arrangement with the circulation
manager of the Telegraph, went to-
ward the Belgium fund.

ceipts for the whole day will be turn
ed over to this newspaper to be for
warded to the Philadelphia commit
tee that is even now loading second
ship with provisions to be hurried
after the Thelma, which is expected
to weigh anchor and sail out on to the
broad Atlantic this afternoon.
Mayor Royal has agreed to have an
expert from his department audit the
books of the theater for the day and
the amount which he figures as half
of the receipts will be turned over at
once. The Palace is the first theater
of the city to put on a benefit bill for
the Belgian fund and there are many
words of praise for the management
among those who realize the import
ance of quick action in the work now
being done.

EASIER THAN CONDEMNATION

Front street from Kelker to Maclay
street may never be formally opened
by the city to low water mark of the
Susquehanna.
The question will likely be settled,
however, when City Solicitor d. S.
Seitz and City Council confer Tuesday
on several suggestions for settling the
paving assessment problem.
In city circles it is generally agreed
that the easiest and best solution all
around would be for the municipality
to arrange to take over deeds for the
conveyance absolutely to the city of
the park frontages not yet acquired
In return the city would agree to hold
the abutting property owner respon-
sible for the payment of the assess
ment for paving to the middle of the
street only
The latter solution is one of three
suggested to Council last Tuesday by
City Solicitor Seitz in connection with
the stopping by one Front street resi-
dent of the park department men

Pottsville, Pa. Nov. 12.-John Ev-
ans and William Schreiner, Tower City,
coal miners. who had been imprisoned
for four days behind huge fall of
coal in a mine in which they were
working, were rescued alive this
morning.
The men We're engaged in robbing
mine pillars when the accident oc-
Cured They were tearing down the
inner pillar of a breast when the
whole structure collapsed, placing be-
tween them and daylight a vast wall
of coal. rock and debris.
Rescuers felt sure the men could get
enough air to keep them alive for
days and, working in a limited space,
forces of miners dug desperately in
the effort to reach their imprisoned
comrades, the work never halting for
minute.
While the rescuers worked tn.
greatest excitement prevailed at the
mine opening. Hundreds of people.
including the despairing families of
the two men, stood around in suspense
hoping against hope and there was
little sleep in the two mining villages
in which they lived while the fate OF
the miners hung in the balance.
Men HuddIed Together
The men were found huddled to-
gether in a blind heading when the
rescuers broke through the mass of
coal and debris and then a great cheer
resounded through the workings. They
were without food and water for three
days, but were in good condition and
able to walk.
They were forced into the ambu-
lance against their wishes and taken
home, but walked into the house.
Nourishment was provided and they
soon fell into a sound sleep. They
said they chewed their boots and fan
mel shirts to stave off the pangs of
hunger and thirst and were able to
keep track OF the time by removing
the crystals from their watches. They
raped continually. but no sound was
heard by the rescuers.
Schreiner's wife was at the mine and
spurred the rescuers on with her firm
belief that her husband would be able
to find place OF safety and would be
found alive. Both are married and
have two children.

Over the long battle lines of Europe
quiet prevailed to-day ex-
cept in Belgium, where the conflict
continues, still with deadly fury and
still undecided.
On the Servian border sharp fighting
is in progress and the Turks are in
action against the Russians, but on
the main positions through France,
along the East Prussian border and in
Galicta there apparently is a lull. On
the success or failure of the German
attempt to force way to the English
channel at whatever cost may de-
pend the future of the campaign not
only in Belgium but elsewhere.
To-day's official French statement,
the only authoritative word up to
early afternoon, sketched out q battle
line which adhered closely to that pre-
viously reported. In contrast with yes
terday's frank admission of a German
advance, including the capture of Dix
nude, the French statement officially
was noncommittal. Fighting con-
tinues with violence on the western
end of the line, 1t is said. but there are
no indications whether the Germans
have succeeded in pushing further
their advance. 1t is assumed in all
quarters that the utmost energy of
the allies will be expended in efforts
to halt the German movement west of
Dixmude, as the road lies straight to
Dunkirk, on the channel.
Many Minor Engagements
Minor engagements are reported al
other points on the line, but apparent
ly there have been no movements OF
note.
Along the Servian border the only
other point from which heavy fighting
is reported, the Austrians are making
a determined effort to crush Servia
and complete the campaign before the
opening of winter.

troops had defeated the Servians and
were carrying the lighting we'll on Ser.
