FILLING UP GAPS
MADE BY WATER
Expected That the Williamstown Branch
Would Be Ready for Traffic Late
To-day-Cold Weather Takes
the Water Down.

| BY working late into the night yes
terday and continuing their labors to-
day, section gangs sent from this city
to Williamstown to repair the damage
caused by water hoped to have the
branch ready for traffic sometime this
afternoon. High water overfowing its
bounds near the Grearson 4 Beckett
stoneshed undermined more than 800
feet OF track yesterday. This forenoon
a tranload of stonechips was despatched
to Williamstown from the Central Yer
mont freight yard here. Since the inter
ruption in train service between the two
points occurred. trains have proceeded
only to the Beckett crossing, so-called,
passengers, mail and express being trans
ferred to the station by teams.
Hereabouts there is every indication
that the threatened floods of yesterday
are to be averted. Last night Stevens
branch reached the high water mark and
the decided drop in temperature was
marked by a recession of the water. By
late afternoon, however, the branch at
North Barre was running even with the
brink of its banks. In one or two places
it crept over the bank levels and flooded
the meadows. Near Young Bros. plant
there was an overflow of this kind, but
the property owners in that locality
were prepared for the flood and no dam
age was done. AT the granite manu-
featuring plants of LeClair & McNulty
and Rizzi Bros, water from the branch
got into the steam pits and for several
hours in the afternoon employees OF the
two firms pumped strenuously to keep
it from attaining higher levels. For
time suspension of work in both sheds
was seriously contemplated. This morn
ing the branch had returned to its won't
ed channel and manufacturers ceased
to worry. With cold, dry wind blow
ing, there is a feeling that much of the
water viii be evaporated and that the
danger of flood is now past.
On the NJ. &. w, K. road and the
Barre railroad traffic seems to have been
unaffected by high water. On the Wells
River line. so-caled, the water was un
usually high and the river bed was
swollen somewhat by the washing away
of two dams at North Montpelier yes
terday. This morning the Green Noun
tain express was long overdue, but the
delay is not attributed to high water,
as trainmen reported the derailment of
a car at East Montpelier. 1t was not
understood at the local station that the
deraiIment was due to the ravages of the
water.

LowLANDs ARE FLOODED.
Winoosk River Spreads Out As 1t Nears
Lake Champlain.

Burlington, April 2l.-The rapidly ris-
ing water in the Ninooski river caused
much anxiety on several OF the interval
farms last evening. The water in Che
river began to rise Sunday morning and
last evening was twelve feet eight inches
above the dam at the gorge and still
rising.
At the Calkins farm on the interval
the lowe meadows were completely Gov
cred and in many places the fences could
not be seen In the tenement house on
the farm the family had to be moved
out by team Their belongings We're
also taken out. The stock in the barns
on the lower parts of both this farm and
the Reynolds farm were removed to a
place OF safety. Messages were tele-
phoned to these farms that the two dams
had broken at North Montpelier and
that the water was due TO arrive there
between eight and nine o'clock. At ten
oo'clock the water was still rising but it
was not thought there would be a sud
den freshet.

OLD STOCK NOT INCLUDED.
Subscribers in Former Hotel Projects
Are Let Out of. This.

With the time set for the annual city
meeting only three days away, the much
discussed hotel exemption question is be-
ing discussed more than ever. So far
as an impartial survey of the situation
reveals, there is preponderance of pub
lic sentiment in favor of giving :
movement the impetus that the
porators say is necessary befor st
stone can be turned toward struc-
tion of hotel. 1t is Il ~ opposi-
ton IN isolated quart, oeen raised
against the theory .SSN .ption, but the
weight of sentin., - ems to hold that
the cause is SO al .gether worthy that
the voters can i'll afford to be governed
by arguments against property exemp-
tion as an abstract proposition. What
ever may be the arguments against the
theory OF non-taxable property, say the
proponents of the request, the case in
hand has its extenuating features and
the motive for supporting it should be
solely civic one.
Against the argument that any alleged
shorteoming OF a bare exemption pro-
posal should weigh against the petition
of the hotel ineorporators, men who are
enthusiastically favoring the project say
that exemption means more taxes for
the city in the end, inasmuch as the
revenue from hotel building in single
year at the expiration of the five-ye
exemption period will more than equal
five years taxes from vacant lot.
Among a number of men who have
subscribed for stock in other hotel en-
terprises locally, there has gained cur
rency the impression that their stock is
still held in the newly chartered COM
pany. This is not true. Only the in
corporators whose names have already
been published are interested in the
present project and subscriptions in 9th
q companies are entirely void in the
which is coping before the peo-
pie Friday night. In numerous instances
this impression has existed among peo-
pie who promised to take stock in other
companies. Latterly they have
been wondering whether they, too, were
included in the new company. They are

ORDERED TO SEIZE
CUSTOMS HOUSE
WILSON EXPLAINED SITUATION.
Told of Arrest of Marines at Tampico
Without Provocation.


Washington, d. c., April 2l.-Presi
dent Wilson explained the situation tt
Congress yesterday afternoon as fol
lows:
Gentlemen of the Congress
1T is my duty to call to your atten
| tion a situation which has arisen in oul
dealings with General Victoriano Huerta
at Mexico City which calls for actor
and to ask your advice and cooperation
in acting upon it, On the ninth OF
April paymaster of the y. S. S. Dol.
phin landed at the Iturbide bridge, land.
| ing at Tampico with whaleboat and
boats crew to take off certain supplies
needed by his ship, and while engaged in
loading the boat was arrested by an
officer and squad of men of the army
of General Huerta. Neither the pay
master nor any one of the boats crew
was armed. Two OF the men were in
the boat when the arrest took place and
We're obliged to leave it and submit to
be taken into custody, Notwithstanding
the fact that the boat carried. both at
her bow and at her stern, the flag of the
United States.
The officer who made the arrest was
proceeding up one of the streets of the
town with his prisoners when met by
an officer of higher authority who or
dered him to return to the landing and
await orders and within an hour and a
half from the time of the arrest orders
were received from the commander of
the Huerta forces at Tampico for the
release of the paymaster and his men.
The release was followed by apologies
from the commander and later by an
expression of regret by General Huerta
himself. General Huerta urged that
martial law obtained at the time at
Tampico; that orders had been issued
that no one should be allowed to land
at the Iturbide bridges and that our
sailors had no right to land there.
Our naval commanders at the port
had not been notified of any such prohi-
bition and even if they had been the
only lustifiable course open to the To-
cal authorities would have been to re-
quest the paymaster and his crew to
withdraw and to lodge a protest with
the commanding officers OF the fleet.
Admiral Mayo regarded the arrest as
so serious an atfront that he was not
satisfied with the apologies offered but
demanded that the flag OF the United
States be saluted with special ceremony
by the military commander of the port
Il felt it my duty TO sustain Admiral
Mayo in the whole OF his demand and
to insist that the flag of the United
States should be saluted in such way
as to indicate new spirit and attitude
On the~part Of the Huertistas.
Such salute General Huerta has
refused and | have come to ask your
approval and support in the course l
now purpose to pursue.
There can be in what we do no
thought of aggression or of selfish ag
We seek to maintain the
dignity aud authority of the United
States only because we wish always
to keep our great influence unimpaired
for the uses of liberty both in the United
States and wherever else it may be en-
ployed for the benefit of mankind"

RUSH AERoPLANE CONSTRUCTION
AS Machines Might Be Used in HostiIi-
ties in Mexico.

Dayton, Ohio, April 2l-The possi-
bility that there might be some land
fighting in Mexico was evidenced yester-
day when the government sent instruc-
tions to local aeroplane company to
hurry construction work on an aero
plane and a hydro which are
being built for government use.
Orville Wright said that in his opinion
the aeroplane would serve most use
full purpose in the event of land fighting.
and the government aeroplane ilcet
would be found most necessary part
of the military equipment.

ITCHING eczema
IS DRIED right
UP WITH SULPHUR
USE LIKE COLD CREAM TO SUB
DUE IRRITATION AND CLEAR
THE SKIN.

Constant or intermittent irritation
producing itching and red, angry Ec-
zema patches on the skin is readily
relieved with bold-sulphur cream. The
moment it is applied the itching stops
and the healing begins, says noted
dermatologist.
1t effects such prompt relief, aven
in aggravated Eczema that it is a new
er-ending source Of Amusement to
physicians
For many years bold-sulphur cream
has occupied secure position in the
treatment Of cutaneous eruptions by
reason of its cooling, parasite-destroy-
ing properties. 1t is not only para
siticidal but also antipruritic and anti
septic and nothing has ever been
found to take its place in overcoming
irritable and inflammatory affections
Of the skin. While not always estab-
instance 1t instantly stops the agCniz-
ing itching; subdues the irritation and
heals the inhamed raw skin right up
and 1t is often years later before any
Eczema eruption again appears.
Those troubled should get from any
pharmacist an ounce Of bold-sulphur
cream and apply it directly upon the
| affected skin like you would any ordi-
nary cold cream. 1t isn't unpleasant
and the prompt relief afforded is very
welcome, particularly when the Ec-
zema is accompanied with itching.
