RUTLAND BUDGET REDUCED.
Estimates Pared Nearly $4,000, Higher
Tax Talked.

Rutland, April 2S.-On resolution
offered by Alderman Burditt last night
at the special meeting of the board, and
endorsed by the board, the budget pre-
sented at the last regular meeting by
Mayor Henry c. Brislin, containing an
estimate of the expenditures to be made
during the coming year was pared to
the tune of S9,S5O. The principal cur
tailment comes in the sewer department,
Mr. Burditt,s motion calling for $1,000,
while the mayors budget called for ST.
$50; also, in the general account. the
mayors request for $4,000 was answer
ed by the voting of S33. 900. Sums of
$500 were also cut off the mayors es-
innate of the money necessary for the
conduct of the Sire, police and lights de-
partments.
The author of the motion succeeded in
getting vote only after a good deal of
discussion, and when vote was finally
secured some aldermen who had talked
one way voted another. Alderman Far
rar was bitterly opposed to cutting the
mayors budget in any particular, and
especially in the matter of sewers, which
he said vitality concerned the health of
the general public. There was a good
deal of talk of the necessity of raising
the tax rate if the budget was adopted
as il stood Alderman Farrar spoke OF
the laxity of the assessors. as he termed
il. in not taxing owners of big business
blocks proportionately with the owners
of small homes.

FIREMAN A. A. MORRIS RESIGNS.
Chauffeur of Fire Truck to Take Up Old
Occupation as Printer.

The aldermanic fire committee is in
receipt of resignation letter from Allan
A. Morris. who desires to be released
from his duties as a regular fireman in
the Barre fire department. 1t is likely
that the resignation will be acted upon
at the meeting of the board of aldermen
this evening. as Mr.. Morris desires to
sever his connection with the depart
ment Thursday night. The resigning
member has been a regular fireman for
three years. He qualified as a driver,
and when the auto truck was added to
the equipment, he was transferred from
the horse-drawn truck to the motor car.
Since the car has been installed at fire
headquarters, Morris has driven it to
most of the fires. 1t is understood that
he will begin work May ! as a printer
at the Cummings printery in the old
city hail.
Saturday afternoon the aldermanie
committee will conduct examinations for
the vacancy caused by Morris resigna-
tion. Already there are several applica-
tions. and number of Others will prob
ably be received. The examination calls
for candidate to qualify himself only
for a regular fireman, although it seems
likely that mans ability to handle
the auto truck will count in selecting a
fireman The procedure followed is SIM
liar to that employed in the selection of
a policeman.

THE HOTEL PROJECT.
Board of Trade Committee Prepares for
Active Canvass.

After tonight the Board of Trades
campaign for $4,000 as a boost to the
new hotel project will be in full swing
and the work of canvassing the city for
subscriptions will begin in dead earnest.
Thus far there have been several volun-
tary subscriptions and Others have in
dicated that they were willing to con-
tribute literally if the project may only
become reality. Tonight the directors
of the Board of Trade will meet in
Manufacturers hall to complete plans
for the campaign.
The Board of Trade has the matter
wholly in charge. More than one-half
of the sum which the board hopes to
have in hand at the end of the campaign
viii be used to purchase the lot, the
site of the City hotel. 1t is proposed
to give the lot outright to the incor-
porators, along with the residue of the
fund to be collected in the next few
days. Everywhere there are indications
that good response will meet the efforts
of the canva ssers. Among many men
there is clearly a disposition to give
the project the impetus it deserves at
the outset and to this end citizens are
willing to give generously. 1t is made
plain that subscriptions of the kind solic-
tied by the Board of Trade are not
stock subscriptions. The incorporators
have subscribed the stock necessary for
and the citizens are asked
only to give that the hotel plan may
get a big boost at the very beginning.

MAIL CAR DESTROYED.
Inmates Were Awakened When Choking
with Smoke.

Burlington, April 2s-The total de-
struction OF a mail car with the excep-
tion of the trucks and the narrow escape
from death by w. Il. Edwards. clerk in
charge of the car, and j. II. Hoskinson,
assistant mail clerk. who lives in Lud-
low, were features of the trip into Mont
real yesterday OF the sleeper from the
south which leaves Burlington early in
the morning daily. That large amount
OF mail, including the registered letters,
was not destroyed was only due to cir
cumstanees.
At Alburg the mail bound north from
the United States is transferred into the
baggage car and to this is due the fact
that it was not destroyed. The mail
clerks usually 20 to sleep and travel
north to Montreal for the reason that
they get better hotel accommodations
there. Shortly after Henryville, p. O.,
was left behind Mr.. Edwards was
awakened by choking sensation and
found that the entire center of the car
was in flames. He had been sleeping in
one end OF the car and his assistant was
in the other. He awakened him and
both were obliged to escape without saw
ing anything except their working
clothes, which they had on.
When Edwards awoke he succeeded in
pulling the bell cord which notified the
engineer to stop the train. He also at
to save some of the articles in
the car but in doing so severely burned
one hand. Mr. Hoskinson. who was near
er the flames, had the hair on his head
singed and barely managed TO escape.
As it was the entire mail equipment
with the personal property OF the clerks.
as well as other property, was destroyed
in addition to that of the car.
The accident was n peculiar one and
the source of the fire is not known but
it is attributed to spark which alight-
ed in a gas pocket in which some gas
from the gas tank which is situated be-
low had accumulated The car was one
which had been built by the Rut-
land railroad and the loss to them is in
the vicinity of $4,000 The car was cut
out and left on a siding.

FUNSTON CONFERS
WITH BADGER
Refugees from Mexico City
Continue to Reach Vera
Cruz and Some Tell Sto-
ries of Alleged Weakening
on the Part of Provisional
President Huerta

Vera Cruz, April 2s.-The transports
bringing the fifth army brigade under
Brigadier General Frederick Funston
made fast to the docks shortly before 10
o'clock this morning and General
Funston came ashore to confer with
Rear Admiral Badger,
Refugees Tell Of Anti-Huerta Sentiment.
Five Americans who arrived by train
from Mexico City yesterday we're
virtually expelled by President Huerta.
They had been arrested at Pachuca for
no known cause. They are Dr. Hoskins,
R. Citation, j. FUNSTON, G. G. Smith and
Mr.. Maddox.
DIR. Hoskins was subject to rougher
treatment than the others, because in
his pockets were found papers indicating
that he had once served as surgeon in
the United States army of volunteers.
These men were sent to the capital from
Pachuca, where Huerta told them he
would not hold them, but ordered them
to leave the country.
The more friendly attitude displayed
in the capital towards foreigners in. the
planned, when il was learned from refu-
gees that rebel supporters in Mexico City
had taken steps TO change public
opinion They circulated handbills call
ing upon the people to protect Ameri-
can naval forces at Vera Cruz and also
as the author OF false and intlammatory
statements published in Mexico City.
In the handbills the people were called
upon to Join in big parade in order to
show disapproval of Huerta's attitude
and to indicate their own friendliness
towards Americans The parade took
place Saturday and the fact that it was
permitted by President Huerta was con-
strued as an indication of the weaken
ing Of his power.
Some of the refugees are responsible
for an unconfirmed repert that after a
demonstration Hnerta became so fright
ened that he hid himself in a foreign le-
CATION, fearing assassination.
Refugees say that prior to the change
in sentiment at the capital, four Ameri-
cans were seized by one of the mobs,
which insisted upon lynehing them
Their lives were saved by the interven-
tion OF the police, whose commander
promised the rioters he would shoot the
prisoners, but promptly released them.

ADVISED TO KEEP COOL.
Harvard Students Informed That There
Is No War.

Cambridge, Mass, April 2s.-"Let us
strive to have a little of the spirit that
ills the officers and men of the navy"
said President Lowell in addressing a
meeting of Harvard students called to
consider the Mexican situation last
night. Regular soldiers" said Presi-
dent Lowell, "do not hold torchlight pro-
cessions or make public demonstrations

and of their duty to serve the country.
They would be unworthy if the call of

Formal acceptance by the Huerta gov
ernment of the offer of Argentina, Brazil
and Chile was cabled to Spanish Am
bassador Riano here last night by Por-
tillo Y Rojas, foreign minister in the
Huerta cabinet.
Senior Rojas note was transmitted at
once to the three South American
diplomats, who began conference. Sec
retary Bryan, on the part of the United
States, having accepted the offer of the
good offices when rendered Saturday, the
first step was completed and the way
paved for actual negotiations looking to
peaceful clearing up Of the situation.
Neither Ambassador Riano nor the
peace ENJOYS would make public the
text of the Huerta acceptance. 1t was
said, however, that Senior Rojas replied
briefly, accepting the offer and thanking
the South American plenipotentiaries
and the Spanish ambassador for their
good offices, with reference to "the
real spirit of solidarity between peoples
of same race"
No conditions are imposed in an offer
of good offices, consequently the reply
from Mexico City was not expected to
deal with conditions. The stage will be
reached when the peacemakers formu-
late their plans and make known how
they propose to use the good offices
! which have been accepted.
White House officials let it be known
that they were earnestly desirous of aid
ing the South American diplomats in
every way possible and that no an
nouncements as to points that would be
insisted upon by the United States would
be made or anything else done at this
time which might embarrass their eff
forts. Throughout official and diplo-
matte circles the belief was expressed
that success of the peacemakers so far
necessarily would have favorable effect
upon the situation; that even though
their efforts ultimately failed. indirect
diplomatic communication between the
United States and the Huerta govern
ment has been restored temporarily and
the chance of better understanding in
finitely improved.

VOLUNTEER CROWD
Thus Evening Up Matters
with Their Political
Opponents

Londonderry, Ireland, April 2s. The
Irish Nationalist volunteers, body
similar in organization to the Ulster
Unionists, made matters even with their
political opponents in the course Of last
night by successfully landing large
consignment of arms.
The weapons, which are said to have
been brought from America, were taken
ashore at a remote spot on the coast of
County Donegal in the far west of III
ster. A strange steamer was seen off
the coast on three successive nights. Late
last night a number of fishing craft
and took off the cargo and
succeeded in evading the coast guards
and landing the rifles, which were quick
ly distributed.
The size of the consignment is un-

juries disagreed.

was found guilty charged him with the
theft of $500 and $500 from Mrs.
Szabo's estate The forgery charge was
based on Gibson's signing the name of
Mrs. Szabo's mother, Mrs. Petronella
Menschik, to legal document.

fence. which argued that the evidence
adduced by the state did not show the
commission of the crimes charged against
Gibson. The jury quickly arrived at
