June %, during Commencement week,
will be located on the highest land on
the campus, west of the present chapel.

of marble, will be about SO by 100 feet
and will seat 700 persons. There will
be balcony in the rear overlooking the
main floor. Allen & Collens, Boston ar
chitects. have submitted plans TO Presi-
dent Thomas, DIR. Mead and the former
president, Ezra Brainerd, who will act
as the building committee. A bronze
tablet in the building will contain the
following inscription ''Mead Memorial
Chapel, Erected in 1914. by John Abner
Mead of the Glass of 1864"
President Thomas called the assembly
to order and read DIR. Mead's letter.
The president spoke briefly in expressing
his appreciation of the gift and dwelt
upon the significance OF such building
in upbuilding college life. President
Thomas said that DR.. Mead's gift was
the largest received during the five
years of the present presidents admin
istration.

CASE MUST BE TRIED
In Which Cora K. Porter Sues for $4,000
in Rutland County Court.

Rutland, May l6.--The demurrer in
the case of Cora X. Porter against John
Metcalf of the Fair Haven Era and
Charles Turner of this city, libel. was
argued yesterday in Rutland county
court, and overruled. The case now
stands for trial at the September term
of court.
In the case of John b. Stearns
against the same defendants, a case
growing out of the publication OF the
same paragraph, the demurrer was al
lowed.
The demurrer proceedings in each case
grew out of the contention that the
word affinity" did not necessarily al
lege statutory guilt, as held by counsel
for the plaintiff Earlier in the term the
court held this opinion with counsel for
the defense.
In the article printed in Fair Haven
Era last year it is alleged Mr.. Stearns
was charged with beating his wife, and
keeping an affinity" in his home. The
demurrer temporarily disposed of the
affinity" count in the libel suit, and
on the wife-b beating libel Mr.. Stearns
was given verdict of $500. Had the
affinity part of the paragraph been
ruled out in the Porter case that would
have been the end of her suit.
Mr. Metcalf is editor of The Era, and
Mr. Turner was Rutland correspondent.
Miss Porter sues for $4,000.
Committed as Insane.
An order was made yesterday for the
commitment of Mrs. Eugene Mccarthy
of West Rutland to the Waterbury in
sane hospital until further order of the
court, as a dangerous insane person.
Mrs. Mccarthy killed her sister, Miss
Alice Kerrigan, many months ago. The
grand jury failed to bring in an indict-
ment, finding the woman insane.
In the case of the state of Vermont
against the town of West Rutland, to
ascertain which was liable for the board
at the house of correction of Peter
Latko of West Rutland, the state re-
ceiyed a verdict yesterday. The sum
involved was Sl04. Latko was impris-
oned in the course of civil proceeding.
In the case of the Rutland Railway,
Light g. Power company against the
Williams Slate company in the west end
of the county, the power company got a
verdict. The amount involved, in the
common counts suit, was s735 of a
ST 500 bill, the balance of which was
not contested. The defense was that
payment of the S735 had already been
made, by notes from the Vermont Slate
company, an allied concern now in the
bankruptcy courts. The court held that
the circumstances surrounding the case
did not sanction the consideration of
these notes as full payment. The case
has been appealed to the supreme court.
In the case Of William Walters against
the Eastern Slate company, with quar-
ries in Fair Haven, to recover $500 for
alleged breach of contract, the court
found yesterday for the defense that
there had been no contract. Mr.. Wal
ters' claim was that the concern re-
tanned him for year, then dispensed
with his services before the year had
expired.

The Henry James Portrait.

The John Sargent portrait Of Henry
James, which was slashed and virtually
ruined with a hatehet in the hands of a
militant at the Royal academy eXhibi-
tion on May 2, will be reproduced in an
early number of the Century Magazine.
A cable from London says that Mr.. Sar-
gent has always objected to reprodue
tions of his works, but he has in recent
years made exceptions in favor of the
Century, which has utilized all the skill
of its staff of engravers in order TO Sc
cure adequate reproductions of the great
American painters work.

THIEVES GOT so CENTS.
hen They Broke Into ermont Marble
Co.'S. Office at West Rutland

Rutland, May l6.-Thieves, evidently
amateurs. broke into the Office of the
Vermont Marble company at West Rut-
land some time Thursday night by pry-
ing open window. The only booty
secured was 80 cents. Several weekly
pay envelopes, which had not yet been
delivered, were locked up in a safe in
the office but the burglars were unable
to reach them. Ii is believed that
knowledge of the fact that the envelopes
were on hand may have attracted them,
as there is seldom any large amount of
money in the office.

The Modern Woodmen of America ball
team of Graniteville won handily last
evening over the Spaulding high school
team in a seyen-inning contest at Gaze
ley's park on Milestone hill. The score
was ~ to 2 The Spaulding team was
clearly outclassed in every phase of the
game by the Twilight Stars. The game
was started at the hour of 5:l5 o'clock
and during the last inning the game
was played under a cover OF darkness.
The Graniteville team jumped ahead at
the very outset AID established lead
that could not be overcome. Another
harvest of hits in the fourth inning
greatly increased the chances of the
Woodmen. Spaulding was enabled to
score but twice, and on both occasions
it was through the medium of errors.
Smoke" Beaton was performing for
the Woodmen and was in excellent trim.
His speed was terrific and at times ter
rifed the Spaulding batters with an
occasional wild heave. He was hit safely
but three times and kept them so well
scattered that he was never in danger.
Max Wiley, the second sacker, was the
selection of Coach Agnew for. mound

himself as well as could have been ex-
