B. & M. REORGANIZATION
Planned in Detail by Massachusetts, Pub
lie Service Commission.

Boston, Jan. 22.-The reorganization
of the Boston & Maine railroad by the
consolidation of its leased lines and by
the issuance of bonds to an amount dou-
BILE that of the outstanding stock, in ae-
cordance with recent act OF the legis-
lature, is recommended by the public
service commission in its annual report
given out yesterday. Should the rail
road take advantage of the act it could
issue bonds TO an aggregate of S9s,3l3,-
S2l. which is double the amount of its
capital stock. The company has already
S43, 1886, 900 in bonds outstanding and a
new issue would make available sum
of S54, ,975,S2l.
The fact that the company has S27,-
100000 in short time notes coming due
within few months makes it an APP
propriate time in which to bring about
a reorganization, in the opinion of the
commissioners. Such reorganization
should be the result of agreements rath-
er than through the compulsion of the
courts or the legislature.
A separation of the Boston & Maine
and the New Haven systems, with the
former retaining the Fitchburg Railroad
company, is also recommended.

Suit for Divorce.

New York. Jan. % That papers filed
yesterday at Newport, r. l., would show
al that was to be said of Mrs. Robert
Goeiet's suit against her husband, the
millionaire clubman, for an absolute di-
yorce was the reply of Samuel Inter
meyer, her attorney, to inquiries made
to-day.
Mr.. Untermcyer said Mrs Goelet did
not regard her affair as a matter of pub
lie interest or concern. New York friends
have known of differences between Mr..
and Mrs. Goelet. While they continued
to occupy their Fifth avenue mansion,
their friends say it was only to keep up
appearance of harmony and there was
no hope of reconciliation.
Mrs. Goelet was the daughter of the
late Henry Whelen, Philadelphia bank
err. She married Mr., Goelet in 1904,
when he was two years out OF Harvard.
Goelet was the son OF the late Ogden

S35 100000. and expectations of coming

SEEKING CAUSE OF DEATH.
Rutland Authorities Are Active in Case
of William Hubbard.

Rutland. Jan. 22--The police of this
city and States Attorney B. L. Stafford
are endeavoring to prove that some per-
son is to blame for the accidental death
of William Hubbard of this city, aged 60
years, whose body was found in the road
on Woodstock avenue Friday night. The
first theory was that he fell in the road
and was run over by vehicle of some
sort. Police yesterday took TO the coun-
ty jail for safe keeping, Thomas Cor
coran, aged 25 years. who is said to have
been driving about town recklessly. As
yet no charge except intoxication has
been preferred against him. He has en-
gagged Thomas II. Browne and ]. Dyer
Spellman as counsel.

There have been II baptisms in the
church, Is funerals conducted and IA

Not only has the spiritual life of the
church been active but the financial side

past year. 1t might be of interest to
note that over $4,000 has been raised
during the past year, exceeding the re-
ceipts of the year previous by about
$1,000. Much Of this is due to the pur-
chase Of church properties. The church
has added to its estate by purchasing

purchased a pipe organ which they ex-
peet will soon be in its place A COM

Matheson, presented her annual report.
The total registration of members is
907
The librarians report is as follows:
"Our aim throughout the year has
been to continue the work in the same
spirit that has characterized the admin
istration of the library in the past, in
Producing only such minor changes as
seemed to promise better service and
increased efficiency.
"During the year Dos volumes have been
added to the shelves, making the total
number l0.60S. The sources of the addi-
tions were as follows: Aldrich public Ii
brary, l4O; city of Barre, l24; French
Barre library, IA; gifts, 1.-THE most
notable of the latter being three

and. i'm addition to this, through the
courtesy Of the Barre Daily Times, lists
of new books have been printed for the
benefit OF the public.
statistics are not kept of the many
demands upon us from the reference
room; in addition to the general refer
ence work the school children make con
stant demands upon us and | need not
assure You that it is pleasure to ms
to satisfy their r-quests. The teachers
of the graded schools have given us q
larger opportunity to work with the
children and this is most gratifying to
us as librarians, because we feel that
the mission of the library might be in
finitely greater if an organized co-opera
ton were established between the teach
ers and Librarians.
"The city of Barre contributed the
sum of 5000 to rebind books purchased
bv that corporation for this library.
"Our patrons both adult and Juvenile,
show appreciation of the bulletin boards
which illustrate current and past events,
nature study,-in fact, anything worthy
Of comment. with appropriate literary
selections. Respectfully submitted

FLAGMAN TAKES
RESPONSIBILITY
Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter in Bar
Harbor Train Wreck Last
September.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 22.--Charles
RI. Murray of Holyoke, Mass, fagmar
of the Inflated Bar Harbor express or
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad, which was wrecked at North
Haven last September, exacting a toll
of 81 lives, pleaded guilty to man
slaughter in the superior court late yes
terday afternoon. Judge Milton A
Shumway deferred sentence until later
date.
In the early hours of morning, Sept. 2
1913, the Bar Harbor express, carrying
many passengers returning from sum
mer vacations spent in New England
came to stop in North Haven in a
heavy fog. Following close behind the
train was the fast White Mountain ex-
press. Murray was sent back to set sig
nails to protect his train. 1t was alleged
that he failed to take the usual precau-
tions with the result that the White
Mountain train ploughed through the
standing express.
Murray. Conductor Brace d. Adams OF
the Bar Harbor train and Engineer A. b.
Miller of the White Mountain were all
arrested later, charged with manslaugh-
ter. Bonds of $4,000 each were fixed.
Two weeks ago Murray's bondsman,
Daniel Colwell Of this city, surrendered
his bond. Sinccs tl&t time Murray has
been in the county Jail. After Murray
had entered his plea States Attorney A.
A. Alling asked the court to defer sem
tence, on the grounds that it should first
hear the evidence. The court agreed and
it is thought presentment of the facts
may be made to-day by the states at
torney and Murray's counsel
The trials of Miller and Adams have
not yet started.

BIG PROFIT ON BOND SALE.
State of New York Made 100000 on
$4,000, 900 Block.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 22.--The state
realized profit OF more than S3,lo0,Oo0
as result of the sale yesterday by
Comptroller Sohmer of the $5l 100000
issue of four and half per cent. gold
non taxable state highway and canal
bonds.
The entire issue was purchased by a
syndicate composed of Kuhn Loeb & Co.
and w. A. Read & Co. of New York,
whose bid of $l006077 was among the
highest of the 467 received. A few bids
for small allotments exceed the price Of
ferred by the Kuhn Loeb-Read syndi-
cate. However, the bid of the latter,
made on "all or none" basis showed a
net premium far in excess of what could
have been obtained by any combination
of other bids. The only other offer for
the entire issue was presented by New
York syndicate headed by Harris, Forbes
& Co. Their bid was $l05,537.

iect for government.owned and oper-
