details. Part two consists of the laugh
able musical comedy "Sherlocko, the
first scene being set in a Cabaret res

comedy, interspersed with Sc yeral of the

A few days ago the people of Yer
the stockholders of the Rutland railroad
had been held in the company's Offices
in Rutland, that 55, AIT shares of stock
were represented at the meeting, and
that the following directors were
elected Howard Elliott, New Haven.
Conn. John T. Pratt, New York; T.
Dewitt Cuyler, New York; Alfred H.
Smith, New York; George 7. Jarvis,
Rutland; William Rockefeller, New
York; E. G. Rockland, New Haven; w.
H. Newman, New York; w. Seward
Webb, New York; Harold S. Wander
bilt, New York; P. w. Clement and
Edmund R. Morse, Rutland.
Of the thirteen directors, three are
citizens of Vermont. The other ten are
men of large affairs, directors of many
corporations, whose chief interests are
outside the State. Undoubtedly the
Board represents ably the present
owners of the road and they will con-
duct it efficiently, as they have hitherto.
In Mr.. George T. Jarvis they have a
very capable and broad minded General
Manager, who is a patriotic Vermonter.
But the announcement of the election
of this Board brings to notice the pas
sage of control of American ~transporta-
ton systems from the hands of the

A very small part of the Rutland road
is owned by residents of the Champlain
Valley.
There is money enough in this region
to own the road, but investors have found
it safer as well as easier and more profit
able to deposit in savings banks and buy
western mortgages. So if it were not
for the capital represented by such
men as William Rockefeller and George
F. Baker we would have no road at all.
Nevertheless the situation is not
ideal. Absentee ownership of industries
has led to unfortunate conditions in
many American communities. One
element of strength in the Vermont
Marble Company is that it has always
been owned and managed by people
who live within sight of the quarries
and in the same communities with their
employees. 1t would be better if we
owned our railroad. provided we could
manage it as well as Messers Rookie
Teller, Vanderbilt, and their associates,
with the assistance of Messrs. Clement,
Jarvis and Morse, which probably we
could not do-and that is very likely
why we leave both ownership and man
agement to them.

ATTEMPT TO ROB MAIL POUCH.

What appeared to be an attempt to
rob a mail bag at the local railroad sta
ton occurred about 8 O'Clock Saturday
evening. AS Frank R. Stone, porter at
The Addison, was leaving some baggage
at the station he noticed a man acting
suspiciously and watched him. Mr..
Stone started to return to the hotel
when he saw the mar have in his possess
sion a mail bag and making a hasty re-
treat. Mr.. Stone followed and before
he reached the underpass the fellow
disappeared in the darkness, leaving
the bag behind. The postoffice officials
were notified and one of the clerks was
sent to get the bag. The string had
been cut but the contents were not dis
turbed. 1t is said the bag was thrown
from the north bound flyer.

Saturday Fred C. Smith, secretary of
the Addison County Fish aud Game
league went to Lake Dunmore where
he met State Fish and Game Commits
sioner John w. Titcomb and Senator
w. H. Campbell of Rochester, the OBJ
ject of the meeting being to look over
the outlet of Lake Dunmore and form
ulate plans in regard to placing a
screen at the outlet. Commissioner
Titcomb was in favor of the scheme
and suggested a fiat screen COM
posed of iron bars one-half inch in
thickness and two inches wide in the
form of a V, and about 60 feet in
length, the State to pay 80 per zen of
the cost.

tary Smith went to Lake Dunmore to
make a survey for the proposed screen
to be placed at the outlet.

SUFFRAGISTS DISCOVER FRAUDS
Brattleboro Reformer.

One of the features of the suffrage
special election in New Jersey Tuesday
was the alertness of the women in look
ing for frauds. They got ready for the
election by arming each woman election
inspector as provided by law, with a
camera, that they might take pictures
of every man who voted and of whom
they had the least suspicion as to his
legal right. And the work was carried
out for all it was worth. One woman
found that 10 men were registered
from rooms over a rum saloon in one
voting district, and another brought
out the point that President Wilson
was a voter in New Jersey only by the
process of declaring under oath that his
abiding place was in a room over a
grocery in Princeton, where his brother
in-law rooms, and that the President
has never slept a night on the premises.

faces, artisans from other localities at
work on the various jobs. They all board

THE NEW PRESIDENT OF NOR
WITCH UNIVERSITY.

The trustees of Norwich University
at a meeting held last Friday elected
Captain Ira L. Reeves, U. S. A., Presi-
dent of the Institution and he has in
dicated his acceptance.
Captain Reeves has many qualities
which fit him for the Presidency of a
Military College. He is an able officer
and has proved his worth in the field in
time of war, both in Cuba and the
PHILIPPINES. He has been d thorough
student of military education and is the
author of the most complete treatise on
American military education that has
ever been compiled. AS a Professor of
Military Tactics in several colleges he
has achieved pronounced success. He
is a natural leader of young men, in
spring their confidence and winning
their loyalty. An energetic worker, a
man of high ideals, a courageous and
tactful administrator, his leadership of
Norwich University is likely to promote
the prosperity of the il s~titution and
bring 1t to a more commanding position
among American colleges.

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL.
There, that ones over with.
Randolph Herald.

How many of these serious, sometimes
fatal automobile accidents are due to a
sleeping or sleepy nan at the wheel?
The soporfic influence of driving a car,
especially at night is well known. With
a clear, smooth road, a motor purring
along regularly, the pathway in front
swept by the %searchlights and nothing
for the operator to do but fix his eyes
ahead and steer, he often finds himself
nodding. Many cases are on record
where his sight or his hands have'relaxed
for the instant only necessary to bring
disaster. Especially is there danger when
boys and young men employed as
professional chauffeurs make long and
wearing drives without sufficient rest.
Railroad companies are forbidden to
work their trainmen beyond certain
hours at a stretch. Why not a similar
regulation for garages that send men
out to drive cars when nature demands
they should rest? Asleep at the wheel
is the real cause of many an accident in
motor traffic.
