SECOND RECITAL OF
SERIES FRIDAY JAN. IS
Program VIII Embody Work OF
Leading Composers of Romantic
Period

The second concert in the series
of educational rectals given by Pro
lessor and Mrs. Herbst and Professor
Kimbrough will take place next Fri
day evening at SIS in the college
auditorium.
The program will consist of works
by Sphor. Weber, Mendelssohn, and
Schumann, leading composers of the
romantic period. IT,
This direction (the romantic) in
composition was taken after Beetho-
ven, as a higher development of his
style seemed impossible. The COM
posers sought for new idea and
found it, in that they used nature, or
experience in human life as them es
for their instrumental works-sym-
pbonies, etc., and stories of magic and
the spirit-world for their operate lib
rettos. Spohr write, for instance,
among others, the Historical Sym

tener the style observed by compos-
ers Of different periods.
Mendelssokn's Scotch SYMPHONY
and his overture "Meeresstille uni
Gluechliche Fahrt" are illustrative
enough, and he made himself i'm
mortal as a composer in the greater
style in his oratorias, and especially
in his charming music to "A Mid
summer Nights Dream"
Spohr was one of the greatest VIC
linists, and his compositions for vio-
lin are indispensable to soloists on
this instrument.
Carl Maria Won Weber, who cam
into contact with theater life in his
youth, became the most conspicuous
Character in dramatic culture. While
his two predecessors leaned more to-
ward the classical in their style.
Weber combined this somewhat with
the folks-character in his opera
"Freischuetz."
Up to this time the opera had been
dominated by the lighter, more
superficial character of the Italian
and French composers, but Weber

Washington July 16.-Franciseo car
bajal. successor to Gen. Huerta as pro
visional president of Mexico, today ad
vsed the United States government
informally that he intended to retire
in favor of Gen. Carranza, the consti-
nationalist chief. Mr.. Carbajal wish.
es only that general amnesty be pro
claimed, and protection given to the
property of those who oppose the con
sttutionalsts.
This attitude of Carbajal, together
with the announcement from Saltil-
10 that Carranza was willing to enter
into negotiations with Carbajal rela-
tive to the transfer of authority at
Mexico City, was regarded here to-
night as practically assuring a cessa-
ton of hostilities and the restoration
of peace in Mexico.
The views of Carbajal were explain
ed in detail to Secretary Bryan today
by Jose Castellot, former member of
the Mexican Senate, who called at
the state department with a personal
telegram he had received through the
Mexican embassy.
1t was the first communication be.
tween the American government and
the Carbajal administration.
The message incidentally revealed
that Gems. Huerta and Banquet. now
en- route to Puerto Mexico, are plan
ming to go to Europe. The commune
cation, addressed to Mr.. Castellot, q
personal friend of the new president,
was dated last night and follows:
Il have just taken the oath OF office
as president of the republic. Gems.

try. ! have not the slightest ambition

try Please give me your impressions

DR.. c. s. Caverly of Rutland, chair
man of the state board of health,
and J. w. Votey of Burlington. state
sanitary engineer were In Bennington
Thursday and made an inspection of
the county Jail and the new high
school building.
DR.. Caverly declared that the Ben
nington county jail Is unfit to put hui
man beings into. The changes made
few years ago at an expense of
several thousand dollars have proved
ineffective in making the jail fit for
use and Dr. Caverly minated very
strongly that the building would be
condemned.
Both DR.. Caverly and Engineer Vo-
tey were most enthusiastic In praise
of the new high school. They say it
is one of the best and most thorough
ly built school buildings in New Eng
yand and that there is no better in
Vermont.
In the plumbing and sanitary ar
rangements it is as near perfect as 1t
can be made while the system of ven
tllation being put in is the best pos
sible. In all respects they spoke very
highly of the building.
Engineer Votey has inspected the
building several times during its
construction and says that other
towns which are building new school
buildings should send their commit
tees to Bennington and learn how
work OF this character should be
done.

STATE GETS GREAT

AUTO|STS
This Year viii Reach
$4,000

Remarkable Increase of State Income
From This Tax on Auto
Owners

Montpelier. July 16.-Secretary of
State Guy W. Bailey estimates that
the income from automobiles based
on present returns and the ratio of in
crease, will approximate sl50O00 for
the year 1914 the largest sum col
lected by the so-called automobile tax
in the history of the state. Vermont
is one of the pioneer states to rate
automobiles on the basis OF horse
power and Mr.. Bailey is considered
the father of the law which has made
1t possible to place such a great sum
into highways annually, which with
the 100000 highway appropriation
makes a grand total of upwards of
s350,OOO which is Vermonts annual
contribution to the cause of good
roads and making her highways
among the best in New England.
The bulk of the registration is done
in the spring and early summer
months from March to July. For
these four months the fees according
to returns to the secretary OF state,
totalled $11S,19339. exceeding am
previous four corresponding months
in the history of the present law. The
automobile fees from various sources
run about $4,000 day That they
will come in steadily so as to total
$4,000 to $4,000 before the end of
the season is confidently expected,
and in that event the estimate of $3.50
600 for the year will be realized.
This is in addition TO the fees paid
prior to March / which will help com
plete the grand total
For the four big months mentioned
there were 1874 new cars registered
which would represent an expenditure
on the part of Vermont people OF
about $1.100,0OO for automobiles il
the cars averaged to cost $500 each
representing an average expediture
per capita of trifle over SO, based on
the last national census.
The increase in automobile fees in
the past six years has been most re-
markable. In 1909 there was register
