EBEN G. RYDER,
A Wonderful Savings
Bank Growth

The Lamoile County Savings Bank
and Trust Company has recently pas.
sed its 25th milestone, having COM
menced business in 1889.
1t has issued to its depositors a
little booklet-which it will send TO
any one asking therefor until the sup
ply is misunderstanding forth certain
facts connected with this Bank.
The booklet contains a portrait of
the President, Gov. Page Vice Presi-
dents, H. NJ. Mcfarland and Russell
S. Page Treasurer Frank NJ. Culver /;
and the other members of the Board
OF Directors, S. A. Fife, Arba A. Pike,
R. w. Hulburd, and D. H. Scribner.
The officials are certainly able to
make very creditable showing. Be-
low we give some of its claims as set
forth in its booklet
Between July I, 1907, and January
I, 1914, the deposits of the Bank in
creased from SS44,158.34 to S2,6o2,-
1880, or more than threefold.
Touching its financial strength it
says that
"Since the Banks organization it
has passed through two disastrous
panics. 1t is a notable fact, a fact
fayorably commented upon by bust
ness men in every section of the state,
that during these panios the HYDE
Park Bank was not only able 10 pay
every depostor calling for his money
without a moments delay, but it kept
its finances so we'll III hand that it
always had money to loan to every
Vermont borrower living within its
proper loaning sphere. 1t takes JUST
fable pride in the fact that during the
panic years of 1898 and 1907 ii was
never tempted to enter Wall Street to
speculate or to buy out,ot-State notes,
which could have been purchased at
most exhorbitant rates of discount.
On the contrary, in those days of great
monetary stringency it loaned its sur
plus funds to the people and banks Of
Vermont, never asking or accepting
more than the legal rate of interest-6
per cenc. The Hyde Park Bank has
always felt that in building up, en-
couraging, and conserving every legiti-
mate Vermont industry and enterprise,
it was building up and strengthening
itself. That this policy has been a
wise one and one which has been most
generously appreciated by the people
of Vermont is fully demonstrated by
the wonderful growth of the Bank,
especially since the panic OF 1907"
When it is considered that during
the panic year, July I, 1907 to July I,
1905, a year in which many banks
made little or no growth in deposits,
the Hyde Park Savings Bank actually
gained in deposits more than $3.50 900,
the above statement should excite no
wonder. 1t simply shows that the peo-
pie of Vermont believed in and impli-
city trusted the managers OF the Hyde
Park Bank and that the managers OF
the Bank on their part rose to the full
opportunity of the occasion and gener-
ously declined to add to its profits by
allowing the Bank to be made the
vehicle for transporting money out Of
the State.
To make long story short, the peo-
pie were good to the Hyde Park Bank
and that Bank reciprocated by being
good to the people of Vermont

OPTIMISM IN MEXICO CITY
Confidently Expected There That Me-
diators viii Effect Amieabie
Settlement.

Mexico City, May 25.-Extreme op-
timism Is manifested in official circles
over the final outcome of the peace
conference at Niagara Falls on the
basis of the preliminary work done
there. The foreign office in particular
Is greatly pleased and confidence is
expressed there that the difficulty be.
tween the United States and Mexico
would be satisfactorily arranged.
A high official said that President
Huerta, actuated by the highest pa
triotic motives. was willing to sacrifice
himself for the good II the country
and a settlement of the difficulty was
now believed to be less difficult than
before the conferences began. Presi
dent Huerta was said to be only con,
cerned with q settlement compatible
with the decorum and dignity Of
Mexico.

ROOSEVELT WILL TOUR U. S.
Prosressives Lay Plans to Wage
Vigorous Campaign Through
out Nation.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 23.-What
Colonel Roosevelt described as Not
exactly a literary discussion" was held
at Sycamore Hill. 1t was perhaps the
most important political conference
in which he has participated since the
close of the campaign Of 1912. 1t
brought together representatives Of
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, the
three states in which Colonel Roose-
welt probably will do his hardest
fighting this fall.
At the meeting were George w. Per-
kins of New York. chairman Of the
executive committee of the Progress
i've party; Charles Brown, member Of
the national committee Clifford Pin
chot, Progressive Candidate for United
States senator from Pennsylvania,
and Z. A. Van Valkenberg of Phila-
delphia, one Of the foremost figures
in the affairs in that state.
1t was decided definitely that the
tentative plans for Colonel Roose-
velt's campaign trip from the Atlantic
to the Pacific should be adopted. This
tour probably will take the former
president into almost every state In
the Union.

PANAMA LOCKS HELD SAFE

Washington, May 25.-The great
steel locks in the Panama canal are
as strong and as safe as engineering
skill can make them, and there is not
the slightest danger to life or property
In their use, notwithstanding the dis
closure of attempted fraud in the sup

This statement was made at the
Isthmian Canal Offices when attention
was called to criminal presentments
found by the grand jury in Pittsburgh
against i've steel makers on a charge
Of conspiracy to furnish inferior ma.
terial for the locks.
Major Boggs, in charge of the canal
Offices here, explained that the at

ings that had not been fully treated

the government inspectors before the
material was worked into the locks.

HOME RULE NEAR PASSAGE
CIVIL WAR MAY COME, AS RE.
suit, IN IRELAND.
Ulster and Nationalist Factions are
Armed for instant
Action.

London, May 25.-In the course OF
a few hours, the home rule bill will
pass its third reading in the house of
due course become a law, despite the
opposition of the house Of lords,
whose veto under the parliament act
is limited to two successive sessions.
There will be a long hard fight, how
ever, possibly civil wal in Ireland, be-
fore a parliament is set up in Dublin,
for the Ulster men are determined
that the Protestant portion of the
province shall be excluded from the
operation of the bill, and threaten to
establish a provisional government as
soon as the bill leaves the house Of
commons.
1t was thought that the Ipswich
election, in which G. F. G. Master
man, lately appointed chancellor Of
the Duchy of Lancaster was defeated
by the Unionist candidate, might in
fluence the cabinet to take a different
course, but this hope was d~issipated
by a letter from the Right Honorable
Herbert Samuel, postmaster general,
in which the minister, quoting the fig
ures of AZ b~ye-elections since the bill
was introduced in 1912, sets up the
claim that $4,000 electors voted for
the candidates who were pledged to
home rule and POI 900 electors voted
for the candidates opposed to home
rule. He concludes his letter by say
ing.
The ayes of England are now turn
ing on Ulster, where arrangements
have been made to assemble the pro-
visional government and mobilize the
we'll armed volunteers. Arms and
ammunition have been distributed and
plans have been completed for the
calling out of the volunteers at a mo-
ment's notice. According to the or
ders to the commanders of the volun-
teers these steps have been taken to
assist in keeping peace in the event
OF disturbances arising out OF the
passage of the home rule bill.
Londonderry and Tyron are dang
er points, for here the Nationalist
and Ulster men are evenly divided
and both are armed. Nationalist re.
joicings over the passage might cas-
lily lead to a clash and extra police
have been drafted for service in these
districts, and, If necessary, the mill
tary will be ordered to proceed to the
assistance of the civil authorities in
case of trouble"

THREE MISSING, TEN HURT nv
NEW YORK PIER ACCIDENT.
Score Plunged Into Hudson-Man
Goes Insane Failing to Rescue
Friends Little Girl.

Hoboken, N. j., May 25.-The
steamer Frederick VIII was about to
start on her voyage over sea when a
gang plank between her main deck
and the pier broke without warning
TO a score or more persons hurrying
across. Men, ome and children
visitors returning ashore, and several
passengers were precipitated into
the Hudson river. A few others fell
back onto the pier and were hurt.
The list of victims contains the
names of three known drowned,
three other persons missing, and at
least ten suffering from injuries or
submersion. Men with graphing hooks
continue to search for those who may
be lost.
The body of three-year-old Annette
Feldschau was recovered.
Those in the hospital include a
junkman, known as Junk" Peterson,
who went temporarily insane after
failing to rescue the Feldschau girl,
daughter of 2 friend. The child
slipped from his grasp while in the
water. He was dragged upon the

was drowned and her body recovered.
Her daughter Mary, three years old,
fell into the water with her and was
swept off by the tide. OF those in
jured three were women, including a
passenger on the steamship.
According to a statement by the
agents of the Frederick Wits own
ers, the Scandinavian-American line.
the accident was caused by the over
crowding of the gang plank, which
the agents said was of steel, re-en-
forced with wood, in perfect condi-
ton. The whistle had blown as a last
warning to visitors to go ashore. AS
they departed, belated steerage pas
sengers rushed aboard.
The sailing of the vessel. which
had what was said to be the largest
number of cabin passengers-500-
that ever left for Scandinavian ports
on one ship from this city, was de-
layed an hour until it could be learned
that none of the passengers was mis-
sing.

FIVE BALLOTS NECESSARY TO
CONVICT HIM OF FIRST DE.

Only Pardon or interference Again by
Court Can Save Former New York
Police Lieutenant From
Chair.

New York, May 25-Twelve men de,
cided for the second time that Charles
Becker was the arch-conspirator re-
sponsible for the Rosenthal murder
which nearly two years ago awoke
New York to a realization of corrup-
ton in the police department and
opened q new era of police reform.
First Degree Murder.
Becker, once a police lieutenant,
was found guilty of murder In the
first degree. Only a pardon or inter
ference again by the court of appeals
can save him from following to the
electric chair the four gunner who
shot Herman Rosenthal, the gambler,

The jury decided that the gunner
were Becker's agents.

Five ballots were necessary to de-
eide Becker's fate. They were taken
almost Immediately after the jurors
returned from luncheon at an uptown
hotel, where they went as soon as SUI
preme Court Justice Samuel Seabury
finished his charge. The fifth was
unanimous for conviction.
Tears streamed down the foreman's
face as he announced the decision and
tears stood in the eyes of several 9TH
er jurymen, but sympathy did not
warp their judgment. They had agreed
that the confederation which the dis
trict attorney failed to present at the
first trial to support the stories of
Rose, Vallon and Weber, the three
accomplices who turned informers,
had been furnished by the new wit
nesses at the second.
Weeks Stay Granted.
Becker's counsel announced that he
would appeal and gained a weeks
stay for the preparation of his future
campaign.
The defendant was granted a short
meeting with his wife and his broth.
