The camp fire in the dining rooms
of the Methodist church last evening
was one of the most successful and
interesting events for men held In
Bennington for long time.
A large electrical campfire blazed
in the center of the room and the col

Massachusetts Commission Digs

$4,000 FOR ADVERTISING
Manager of Boston News Bureau
Says He Made $4,000 on the
Deal

Boston, Jan. 27.--The public se.-
vice commission yesterday resumed
its investigation of the so-called
"other expenses" incurred by the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad during the session OF the
Legislature last year. 1t was announc
ed that forme- Vice-President limo
thy +. Byrnes had been asked to re-
turn from California to testify. 1t
was also stated that Chairman Elliott
of the New Haven road would be
asked to call meeting of the direct
ors of the road for the purpose of
acting on the suggestion of the COM
mission that the officials be released
from the obligation of treating as
confidential their relations as counsel
and clients, IN order that the COM
mission might obtain additional in
formation.
Clarence w Barron closed his evil
dence by stating that the Boston
News Bureau of which he is manager
and allied concerns, had received ap-
proximateIy $4,000 profit in placing
advertising for the New Haven, and
that $4,000 had been paid the news
papers for publishing this advertis-
ing. The witness cha, ged that Chas.
S. Bird. the progressive candidate
for governor, was financially backing
the present investigation. This was
denied by A. ~ Hill. counsel for the
Boston Journal, who was examining
the witnesses.
Walton A. Green, editor OF the
Journal. denied that Bird had any
stock in that paper, or that he was
debating its policy or influencing the
present investigation. All that Mr.
Bid had done in connection with the
Journal. witness said, was to lend
$4,000 to Matthew Hale, publisher
of the paper. on Mr. Hale's personal
notes. This sum was about one-sixth
of the money that went into the pap
er. Many of MIR. Green's answers
were developed by questions from
Clarence W. Barron.
Sylvester Baxter writer, testified
that he had written editorials and
news articles while in the employ of
the New Haven railroad. He rcceiv-
ed $500 q month from the road, he
said, and was paid also by the mag
azines. The editorials were printed
in Boston papers and in a magazine
issued by the Springfield board of
trade. He supposed. but did not
know, that the editors we're aware of
his New Haven connections The
hearing will be resumed Friday morn
ing.
Further payments by the New Ha-
ven road TO members Of the family OF
Bruce Wyman. who recently resign
ed his professorship in the Harvard
law school because of his connection
with the railroad. were brought out
by the testimony of Frederick A. Wy.

ceived 500 week for arranging lee
