conscious at later hour. Two women
were sent to hospital.
So great was the crush in front of
the building that the half hundred po-
licemen on duty found themselves pow

er articles of clothing after the rush
was over.
The school board voted last night to
name a school in the Mount Auburn dis
trict in honor Of Haggerty.

BUSINESS TO BE FREED.
Capture of Tampico Means Resumption
of Activity.

Ell Paso, Texas. May 1.-THE capture
OF Tampico by General Pablo Gonzales,
reported yesterday. win eliminate any
possibility of complications with foreign
nations and will mean the re-opening of
commercial and industrial pursuits
throughout the interior of Mexico, ac-
cording to a statement made last night
by Roberto V. Pesqueira, confidential
representative of General Carranza.
The tenseness of the international sit
uation, he said, had been relieved be-
cause the entry of Gonzales troops
into Tampico would give absolute as
surance of protection for the oil wells
and other property, no matter by whom
owned and would obviate any friction
or necessity for action by foreign ma
tions.
The capture of Tampico, Mr.. Pes
queira said, not only gave the constitu-
tionalists absolute control of northern
Mexico and by its railroad connections
assured prompt and efficient troop move
ments, but also as free port of entry
gave connection to the markets OF the
world with the centers of business in the
interior
The capture of Mazatlan, on the Pa
cifc coast, was expected within few
days, said Mr.. Pesqueira, and with a
port of entry on each coast the constitu-
tionalists would have undisputed possess
sion of more than half of Mexico

TALK OF THE TOWN

The Barre evening drawing school is
to open its annual exhibit in the base
ment of the Mathewson school building
to morrow. Last month the third wear
of the new schools existence came to
a close and the faculty, as well as the
students, are anxious that the public
have an opportunity to see what has
been accomplished since last September.
More than 40 students have been en-.
rolled in various courses this year and
the scope of the school has witnessed a
corresponding growth over last year. In
the absence of Principal Charles Pam
perl, the exhibit is to be in charge of
the remaining members of the faculty.
Two ample rooms in the basement are
given over to the exhibition, eontribu-
tlons to which are attractively arranged
about the walls. Specimens exhibited
are to consist of drawings and sculptur-
ing.
Through an erratic typographical
transposition of digits, an item in yes
terday's Times made it appear that Per
ley Goslant of Lanesboro lifted a 22Ia-
pound trout out of the waters of Kettle
pond in Marshfield. Apparently the ac-
tual weight of the fish was not appar-
ent to some, so it may be stated that
as a matter of fact it weighed only two
and one-half pounds. This correction is
respectfully submitted TO the reader,
who, declaring the error in question to
be the most colossal of its kind since
the invention of movable type by Gu
tenberg, went on to suggest that the
fish story would have been more coE-
plete had the fisherman been named CO.
some instead of Goslant.

London, May H. "Generap Mrs.

pear in police court this afternoon in
connection with the campaign of mill
itancy and making up her mind not to
appear before the magistrate, she ex-
pected to be arrested and declared she
would remain on Carson's doorstep and
appeal to him for protection when the
police arrived.

who also was summoned to
police court on the charge Of exhorting

FINE ROADS FOR MONTPELIER.
City Council Votes s1s,e6o for Them
$4,000 for Paving State st.

The Montpelier city council, at last
nights meeting, voted the sum of Sl3,-
900 for road work in that city, divided
as follows; $4,000 for the paving of
State street with vitrified brick; 81, 200
for macadam, tar bound. on Elm street
from Main to Spring; $1,000 for sewer
from Whittier to Jay streets and 81 900
for sluice to Brook hill, and the re-
mainder for resurfacng and placing in
repair Elm, Main, East State, Barre,
Fullerton, Kemp, Vine, Summer and
Wilder streets. A resolution was pre-
sented favoring cement sidewalks and
asking property owners to pay one-half
the cost of such walks, but the matter
was left with the street committee. Some
OF the aldermen expressed themselves as
against putting in any more plank
walks.
The matters of regulating the sale of
fireworks for the Fourth of July was
left to the police committee and city at
torney, although it was recommended
that the celebration in Montpelier be
safe and sane one. 1t was voted that
the city send needy woman to the Hea-
ton hospital and pay resultant expenses.

NO RACES CONTEMPLATED.
Granite City Park Leased Merely t,
Train Local Horses.

While the opinion seems to prevail
in certain quarters that there is to be
a revival Of the racing game in Barre the
coming summer, it seems absolutely GER
tain that this is untrue. A few DAYS
ago the lease Of the old driving park off
Ayers street to number of local horse
men probably gave rise to a rumor that
circulated throughout central Vermont
to the effect that string of racing
horses would be brought to Barre at diff
ferent times during the season. When
interrogated yesterday one of the les
sees of the park denied the rumor and
went on to explain that the park had
been reserved because of the desire of
a few horse owners to use it for training
grounds. The fences and buildings with
in the inclosure are in bad state OF re-
pair and for other reasons, also, it has
been decided not to hold any races, al
though it was at first thought advisa BILE
to hold at least two meets here in June
and August.
Those who are most familiar with the
racing situation in Vermont say that
meets held in Massachusetts, New
Hampshire and other neighboring states
preclude absolutely the possibility of
getting good horses to perform over the
local course. The comparatively large
expense of coaxing fine horse flesh away
from some of the bigger meets makes
it plain that races will not be held here
this year. In 1912 the Gentlemen's Driv-
ing club held meet, but soon after
wards the park was sold to the railroad
and the idea of racing was then given
up for all time. as it was understood
that the scene of many a spirited heat
at the south-end was presently to be-
come a freight terminus for the pro-
posed new road to the quarries.

GREATEST SINCE LINcoLN's.
Philadelphia People Turned Out En-
Masse to Honor Vera Cruz Dead.

Philadelphia, May IA multitude
yesterday honored the two sons of Phil
adelphia who died at Vera Cruz, George
Mckenzie Poinsett of the battleship
Florida and Charles Allen Smith of the
New Hampshire. Nearly $4,000 persons
paid tribute to them as their bodies lay

and hundreds of thousands lined the
three smile route over which slowly pro
ceeded the funeral pageant that escorted
the flag g-shrouded collins on their way
to local cemeteries.
1t was the greatest public funeral held
in Philadelphia since Abraham Lincon's
body lay in state in Independence hall.
So great was the crush of people that
scores OF women tainted and many men
We're treated for minor injuries. Two men
were seriously injured. one of whom
will probably die. The procession in
cluded sailors. marines, state militia
Grand Army, Spanish war veterans and
other bodies. Firing squads from the

b~S -er's Lawyer Subjected
the Informer to Sharp
Questioning
WITNESS EMERGED
FROM 1T SMILING
Attorney Manton Did His
Best to Shake the
Testimony

New York, May l4.-After almost six
hours on the witness stand yesterday as
the states chief witness in the trial Of
Charles Becker for the murder OF Ro-
senthal, Jack Rose resumed his place
to-day. He testified to collecting money
for Becker, as did Bridgie Webber, who
followed Rose. When he left the court
house after completing his testimony,
Rose was escorted by detectives who
were assigned to protect him.
The bald headed inforner quietly and
unfalteringly answered every question
asked him by Martin i. Manton, chief
OF Becker's counsel Even when Manton
shouted accusations of murder at Rose
and tried to make him admit that he
had made his living by committing petty
larcenies and by selling opium to the
slaves of the habit Of New York's China
town, the former gambler remained un-
perturbed.
Roses expression never changed DUR
ing all the grilling. His voice was neith-
er raised nor lowered at any time. He
reiterated his story of the underworld.
with a calm and matter of fact air. He
showed no fear, no emotion and no re.
morse, except on one occasion. Then
he said his conscience pricked him when
he thought over how he had plotted to
have Hermon Rosenthal murdered.
Manton managed to get Rose to ad-
NIT that there were minor discrepancies
between the testimony he offered at
the first trial and that he gave on di-
rect examination Tuesday. Rose said
his testimony Tuesday was more COM
plete in places than his former testi-
mony. At the same time, he said. he
told some things at the first trial which
he did not mention at this one
Il know so much about it, and have
talked so much about it, said Rose.
''it is impossible for me not to leave
some things out now and then"
Rose admitted that Sam Paul. gam.
bier. and Rosenthal had a falling out
soon after the latters house was raided.
Rose also said Rosenthal hired Spanish
Louie" to kill Sam Paul. Louie failed
to do it. He told RosenthaI, according
to Rose, that Paul had given him $50
and he would not shoot a man who was
so generous. Then. Rose said RosenthaI
hired Bloody Mike to kill Spanish
Louie The killing followed. Under
close questioning Rose admitted that he
had known Spanish Louie" quite we'll
During the forenoon session he had de-
MED that he had known Spanish Louie
to be "the best rough and tumble pis-
-ol shot in New York"
The witness conceded that he had
broken with Rosenthal after the latter
1ad spread tales that Rose was
'squealer,' thereby putting Roses life
n danger.
