tunity which makes the present a
crisis In our career:
The proprietors of very success
full school for girls want to locate in
ever, that because they want to locate
here they are therefore compelled to
locate here.
Charlotte thinks this school worth
offering fifteen acres of good land and
$1O,000!eO ITO obtain. Salisbury and
other places have made similar offers.
Againstthis we put up our climate
and scenery, which costs us nothing,
and about 100000 in actual cash and
help finance the expense of the change
of location by issuing about $5,00O0o
worth of preferred stock.
For this little investment we shall
obtain a school Of sixty girls, (sixty
now, one hundred later on) each one

FORGERY CHARGE TO BE ADDED
Against Young Negro in Case Concerning
Bennington People.

Bennington, March 3l.--A short para
graph in New York paper describing
the arrest of young negro valet on the
charge of having decamped from New
Haven, Conn, with 5000 diamond ring
and $50 in money belong to his em-
ployer, Felix Davis, caught the eye of
States Attorney w. j. Meagher yes
terday.
The valet gave the name of Chsuncey
Probb and the attorney at once became
suspicious that the youth under arrest
was Chauncey Todd, the ls-year-old ne
gro youth who disappeared from this
village the night of Jan. 80, immediate
ly after cashing the checks, amounting
to $40. The checks were drawn payable
to Todd and signed with the name of
Il. L. Bates, former municipal Judge
by whom Todd had been employed as
office isnitor.
The checks were alleged to be forg-
cry. Immediately after reading the par
agraph the states attorney called New
Haven by telephone and was informed
by the chief of police of that city that
his surmise was correct. Probb and
Todd were the same. Todd will be
brought to New Haven for hearing
the latter part of the week and will be
confronted with a warrant charging
forgery as well as theft.

ACCUSE SPECIAL OFFICER.
Rutland Police Say He Gambled and De-
manded Money Illegally.

Rutland. March 3l.--Charged by one
of his fellow countrymen with conduct
unbecoming an officer, Special Police Off
Ger James Pitaniello was before Francis
Tracy, commissioner of public safety,
for hearing into the matter yesterday
afternoon. The hearing was at the po-
lice station. Commissioner Tracy had
made no formal report of his findings to
Mayor Henry C. Brislin last night, so
the disposition of the case is uncertain.
Vito Manfredo, who runs shoe shin
ing stand in the railroad station, was
the complainant, and the petition asking
that Pitaniello be not again named as a
special officer was signed by half dozen
voters, all Italians 1t was charged that
Pitaniello was guilty of gambling, also
that he demanded money illegally in
cases in which his unlettered countrymen
were at his mercy.
P. F. McManus represented the com
pIainant, and c. " Poulin the defendant
officer. A great many witnesses were
examined by the commissioner in his
search for the truth.
Pitaniello was not reappointed at the
last meeting of the board with the other
officers.

MADE FALSE STATEMENTS.
William Colburn Was Convicted on Two
Counts.

Burlington. March 3l.-In county
court yesterday AFTERNOON William Col
burn was convicted on two counts of
making false statements to an insurance
agent. The jury was out only 10 min
utes. Evidence introduced before the
arguments began consisted mainly Of
scraps of testimony to clear up what
had gone before. George 4. Stratton
was recalled 10 testify as to the re-
spondents statements about having the
furniture, which he was purporting to
insure, in his rooms. Christopher Miles
was called to testify as to statements
which the respondent made in the police
station. Miss Jennie Perelman and Mrs.
Kaplah told again OF the Conversation
in the store when Colburn procured the
furniture. Interesting evidence was
that tending to Identify Colburn as one
Colby who lived on North Bend street
some years ago Edward O'Neil of that
street testified that he remembered the
respondent and that he lived there seven
or eight years ago He said he remem-
bered him because there was a fire in
the house where he lived at that time.
Frank Moran testified to the identity of
the respondent as Colby.

Report Federal Fugitives Slain.

Eagle Pass, Tex, March 3l.-Refugees
who reached Piedras Negras, Mexico,
from the vicinity of Monclova yesterday
reported that General Murgia had wiped
out several bands of federal fugitives
from Torreon.
Murgia has been operating between
Monterey and Torreon and is reported
to have isolated Torreon from all com
munication with Mexico City and other
federal forces at Monterey and Saltillo.
There has been no communication be-
tween Eagle Pass and Torreon over the
government telegraph lines for five days.
All railroads into TOrreon from the
east have been cut.
General joaquin Mas, who went to
re-enforce General Velasco at Torreon,
made the trip overland in armored au-
tomobiles with his 800 men. Murgia
commands a strong force of constitu-
tionalists which, while taking no part
in the attack on Torreon. has been work
ing TO prevent any assistance reaching
the federals in the beleaguered city.
Numerous small bands of constitution
aiists are active around Monterey.

hour approached to-day for closing the
Senate and taking final vote on the
Sims bill, providing for repeal of the
provisions of the Panama canal act ex-
empting American coastwise vessels from

clared that every indication tended to
show that the bill would pass by ma
jority of at least IS votes.

floor to-day in final attempt to defeat
the repeal. The leaders planned to
secure a vote on the bill before adjourn
ment tonight, about five hours for de-
bate remaining when the House met.
The greatest crowd seen in recent
years jammed the House galleries to
hear the final debate an the repeal. Peo-
pie had been waiting in line for hours.

the galleries when the janitors went to
close up at daylight. and permitted
themselves to be locked in until the reg
ular opening time at 10 o'clock.

waiting hours the crowds made them
selves at home. Some brought news.

OHIO PLANS TO DUST STANDARD.
Oil Company Faces Court Proceedings
Late in April.

Columbus, o., March 3l-Judge Dillon
of the common pleas court yesterday
afternoon granted an alternative writ
ordering Attorney General Hogan to in
stitute proceedings to oust the Stan
dard Oil company and its subsidiaries,
including the Imperial Oil company of
Canada, from doing business in Ohio.
The case is set for hearing April 20.
The suit to compel Attorney General
Hogan to file custer proceedings was
instituted several days ago by George
III. Phelps, an attorney of Findlay, O.,
who alleged that the Standard Oil com
pany, Ohio Oil company, Buckeye Pipe
Line company, Solar Refining company
and the Imperial Oil company of Canada
were being operated in this state in vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust law
and the Valentine trust act, an, Ohio
statute.
Mr.. Hogan had announced after an in
vestigation that he would not institute
the proceedings demanded by Mr.. Phelps.
The issuance of the writ by Judge Dill
lon will force him into court to resist
the Phelps application.
