ment of the concern in and about Brat
tleboro by the last three storms of that
variety. Five transformers. two of
them very large have been put out of

pense. Previous to these storms the
company had not lost two transformers
in FIVE years which leads the company
officials to the opinion that the sto, ms
have been more severe this year or that
there Is a jinX on its trail.
In spite of this, however, the con-

FOREIGN BUILT SHIPS
TO AMERICAN REGISTRY
Congress is Now Struggling with Bill
to Give the President Important
Powers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The bill
authorizing the President to admit in
his discretion foreign built ships less
than five years old to American reg
istry was before the House again to-
day for its action. One of the amend
ments adopted by the Senate which
aroused strong opposition was that to
require American ownership of "A ma
jority of the stock of corporations
seeking to register vessels hereafter
acquired. Opponents of the amend
ments declare that any such limita-
tions on the Presidents discretion
would destroy the measure s value as
an emergency step to meet the situa-
tion created by the European war.
They claim that the provision will be
stricken out in conference between the
House and Senate. The Senate also
amended the bill 50 as to authorize the
President in his judgment to admit
foreign-built ships 10 the trade be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific and
Gulf and Lake ports.

cernino Trees.

b. \. Chandler of Burlington, who
il connected with the Vermont forest
service, and y ". Sweeton, agri
cultural agent for Windham county,
made a very satisfactory trip around
the county last week for the purpose
of meeting farmers and owners of wood
lots and discussing with them such
questions as might interest them con-
cerning forestry and agriculture. They
believe that the meetings resulted in
material gain to the men who attended
them.
At Vernon rs interested men were
present and the party went over some
chestnut sprout land that is badly in
feeted with the chestnut blight. At
Williamsvillc a smaller party was pres
ent. There a trip over some pine and
mixed growth tracts was made and MIR
Chandler discussed the best method OF
handling them.
In South Londonderry an inspection
of Lee Haven S nine-acre plantation
of young pine was made. a party OF

CHICAGO, August 12-The Harvester
case will be taken to the supreme Court
of the United States as soon as possible,
according to a statement made here to-
day hy Cyrus ii, Mccormick president
OF the international Harvester Co.
He said: The adverse decision Is a
great disappointment As | understand
it. it Is not based on actual wrongs done
in the conduct of the Harvester Com
pany 5 business, but upon the elimination
of competition more than 10 years ago be
tween the companies whose properties
were purchased by it. The opinion ac-
quits the company and its officers and di-
rector~ of charges of over-capitalization
and unfair and oppressive policies and
practices 1t does not sustain the charge
made in the petition of the government
but abandoned on the argument that the
company have charged excessive or unfair
prices The organization of the company
is condemned by majority OF court as Il
violation of sherman act. but the com
pany is not found guilty of having vio-
lated of the law IN the conduct of its
business or of having injured its custom
ers or its competitors. The conclusion
seems to be that the Harvester company
is a good but illegal trust,

HEAR ABOUT ELECTRICITY.
Dummerston Residents Told About Cost
of Installation There.

Fifteen residents of Dummerston met
last evening in the vestry of the church
OF that town and informally discussed
the proposition TO have electric current
brought to the village by the Connect
clt River Power company. lia.old f..
Whitney of the power company and
Horton d. Walker and +. NJ. Good
enough, electricians of Brattleboro,
We're present and participated in the
general discussion.
Mr. Whitney said that the company
was willing to put III a transformer
station at a cost to the company Of
about $4,000 and provide electricity at
a very reasonable figure. Mr., Walker
estimated that the expense to the res
idents would be in the vicinity of So,
500 This meant the construction OF
line two miles in length, the expense
of which must be borne by those de
string the service, or by company
formed for the purpose of buying ant
selling electricity.
| Mr.. Whitney advised the forming O.
a small corporation as a satisfactor,
method and the selling of $lO0 bond
| to such individuals as cared to in
! vest. He believed there would. be II,
difficulty in disposing of sufficien
bonds to more than pay for the in
vestment and there would be no ques
ton that at the low rate the powe
could be bought by the company tn
venture would be profitable to the in
yestors
Mr. Walker reminded the Drummer
ston people that there are few sma
| towns in the country that have the ol
portunitv to obtain electricity at sue

LOGS DOOMED AT PUTNEY.
Until Many Collect There Boating Will
Not Be Interrupted.

A log boom has been constructed at
Putney, as was the case last year, in
order to obsruct the river between
putney and Vernon dam as short a
time as possible during the passage Of
the annual log drive. The river is low
above Bellows Falls, the logs are
trickling through the dam very slowly
and the drivers are having unusual diff
fieulties there. Farther to the north
hundreds of logs are stranded high
and dry in the middle of the river.
1t Will be some time before the boom
at Putney holds enough of them to
make it worth while opening the boom
and until that time boating will con
tinue uninterrupted on the river this
summer.

WASHINGTON, August II. - At
torney General McReyuolds received
word last night from New York that
the directors Of the New Haven rail
road have agreed to his terms for u
peaceful dissolution of the system which
will put an end to the court pfouCc&irgs
begun there several weeks ago.
Department Of justice officials were
asked sometime ago if there was any
possible way to avoid lighting the suit
through the courts and replied that he
only way was to carry out the terms of
the agreement Tor dissolution made
molt tbs ago. Atty. Gen. McReynolds,
however, made his demands regarding
the separation OF the Boston & Maine
bit stronger than formerly.
In the old agreement the trustees
were to hold the New Haven 5 Boston
& Maine stock for two and one half
years. Under the present understanding
the trustees will hold the stock for only
one year. They Will receive nrevoca-
bic provies and exercise every function
OF majority stockholders OF the property
and the attorney general is expected Il
keep close watch to see that they are
in no way interfered with by the New
Haven.
They are expected to dispose of The
stock in II months, but failure to do Sc
upon reasonable grounds probably woulc
lead to an extension of the time.
The interstate commerce commission
under the present arrangement Is to de
eide whether the New Haven shall re
tain its interest in its so-eallcd Scum,
steamship lines This was the way thi:
matter was taken care of in the ole
agreement, but in the bill fled in New
York the court was asked to take thes,
lines from the New Haven.
In the government 5 bill it sought t.
separate the New Haven from the oil,
New England railway, considered vita
part OF its rail system through Connec
ticut and Massachusetts. This was no
in the original agreement nor IN th'
| present one.
