SALTED--SLATER

y Called before an audience OF
250 stockholders of the Crescent
Oil Co. at hall on Tacoma ave-
nue. on threat that legal action
would be started If a satisfactory
explanation were not made of the
continued delays in getting the
we'll opened, John G. Slater of Sc
attic, manager, last night trans
fixed his hearers by declaring en-
phatically that the Crescent we'll
had been ''salted" with oil
brought from California.
The sailing occurred during
the height of the Tenino '"oii
field" excitement, when the well
had been drilled to a depth of 800
feet. 1t was done to satisfy the
Centralia Commercial club that
the Tenino field really possessed
oil, he asserted.
Subscribe 5000.
LET me tell you something!"
exclaimed Slater, while I'm the

ton of the oil we'll manipulations
II have spent money getting the
evidence. California oil was
brought here and poured down
that pipe to make a showing for
the Centrali Commercial club. II
was done without the knowledge
of Mr.. Williamson"
Despite Slater's declaration
that the barrels of oil pulled up
by the baler at the well last win
ter, and distributed throughout
the Northwest for exhibition and
stock-selling purposes. he fired
his audience with such enthus-
iasm that the stockholders SUBJ
scribed $500 towards paying off
the present Indebtedness and re-
Stunning operations.
Slater answered every question
That was fired at him by the an
CRY stockholders.
At the opening of the meeting
he was Kissed and hooted. When
he finished his explanation, the
crowd was applauding and cling
ing to his every word.

acres OF land at the Crescent dis.
trict. but he promised the stock
holders last night. that in order
to show his good faith and en-
thusiasm In the well, he would
return to the company the 40-acre
tract on which the well is situat-
ed. He promised to hand the
deed to DR.. ]. f. Austin before d

ling statement made by DIR. Geo.
M. Kober of Washington, d. c..
president of the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Proven
tion of tuberculosis, before that
body in convention here today.
In 1913, $4,000 persons died
from tuberculosis in the United
States, which according to Dr..
K0ber, signifies the presence of
about 1,430,000 consumptives in
this country.
Great and grave as the prob
lem may appear, there is GER
tainly hope when we consider
that the death rate from this dis
ease has been reduced from 326
per 1000 population in 1880 to
147.6 in 1919" stated DR.. Kober.
This means that IL the former
rate has been continued the num-
Der OF deaths from this cause
would have been 322,027 instead
of $4,000 in 1913, equivalent to
a saving Of 1902 during one
year."
DR.. William Charles White,
medical director of the Tubercu-
losis League of Pittsburg, de-
clared the universally of the dis
ease established 1t as federal
problem, in which the obstacle
states rights" should not be al
lowed to enter.
Asserting that the most pre-
Quent problem to be solved In
treating the consumptive is food
and its assimilation, DR.. Etahan
A. Gray of Chicago, declared that
even since the campaign against
tuberculosis attained full head
way, forced feeding of highly nu-
tritious food has been the COM
mon prqctice."

Suffrage Notes.

President Elsie Smith and other
prominent suffragists of Lambert
vile, attended the meeting of the
Executive Board of the New Jersey
Suffrage Association, held in Tren-
ton on February %. Many enthu-
siastic suffragists from every county
were present.
1t is planned to canvass every
inch of the State to secure pledges
from both men and women to take
al interest in and support the
amendment when it goes to the
voters next September.
Miss Florence Leech, of Montana,
was the most prominent speaker.
She proved woman suffrage would
raise national standards, for to-day
men resort to the same force to
settle their disputes that was re-
sorted to by Cain and Abel.
She said that after the Wyoming
women have voted for as years, in
grace, charm and in devotion to
duty, no women on earth excel those
of Wyoming. Their people would
as soon think of surrendering their
charter of statehood as of depriving
their women the ballot"
Our nation has seen fit to prohibit
determinations on account of race,
color or previous conditions of ser.
vitude. The nation may, with equal
or greater propriety, prohibit dis.
elimination on account of Sex.

BASKETBALL TIE.

The basketball game in Lambert
vile Thursday night, at Malloy's hall
court, between the Local five and
the fast Empire Tire Company team
of Trenton, ended in tie game at
ter an extra five minute period had
been played, by the score OF SO to
80.
1t was the most thrilling and
sensational game seen here for some
time, and it kept the crowd on edge
from start to finish. The first half
ended Ia to 13, in favor of the visi-
tors.
At the end of the regular second
half the score was 20 each, and
after the extra five minute period,
the score still remained a tie, at 33
each.
The game was called at this point
so as to allow the visitors to catch
the 1915 car back to Trenton, as
some of them had to return to work.
The feature of the game was the
floor work and shooting of Stanley
Holcombe, and Bloomer, for the
Locals, and the guarding of Abbott,
who only allowed Quinn, the Tren-
ton Interstate League star, one
field goal.
Murft starred for the visitors in
field goals.

BAIL FIXED AT $500.
In Case of Rutland Man Charged With
Stabbing Countryman.

Rutland. April l2.-Frank Maiello o.
this city, an Italian, was arraigned be
fore Judge f. G.. Swinnerton in city
court this morning on the charge of com,
hitting an assault, with intent to kill
upon Velardo Valente by stabbing him
twice during an alteration on West
street last Tuesday. Maiello, who was
not represented by counsel, pleaded not
guilty, waived examination and was
bound over to Rutland county court
Judge f. G. SWIMMER fixed the bail at
$500. Maiello could not furnish surety
for this sum and he went to county jail
to await the action of county court.
1t is probable that States Attorney c.
V. Poulin will file an information against
him and that his case win be taken up
at the term of county court now in prog
ress. Grand Juror c. e. Novak appeared
for the prosecution.
The stabbing is alleged to have been
done in the presence of several of the
fellow eountrymen of the respondent and
Valente because of rude remark which
was made. 1t is said that Valente had
a very narrow escape from serious in
jury and possibly death, the knife being
checked in a blow directed at the heart
by the point striking rib.
Valente has engaged Ernest III. 0'Brien
as counsel and it was stated to-day that
he would bring proceedings in county
court against Maiello to recover civil
damages for assault.

MAY SLICE VERDICT.
Which 81 200 Was Given for Damages in
Assault.

| Rutland, April l2.-Jndge F. M. But,
Ter of this city, who presided in Rutland
county court during the first four jury
, trials of the present term, was at the
court house Saturday to hear any mo-
tions which lawyers might have to make
relative to cases which have been before
juries. The attorneys had enough bust
ness to occupy the attention OF Judge
Butler and Assistant Judges Edwin Hor-
ton and Samuel r. Hitchcock throughout
the morning, the most important thing
taken up being motion to set aside
the verdict of $1,000 for the plaintiff
in the case of Harvey Bump of Chitten-
den, who sned Constable Charles O.
Wooster for damages as result of an as
sault committed by the officer on the
plaintiff when serving a warrant at Mr..
Bumps house.
Attorney Walter S. Fenton, who was
was one of the counsel for Wooster, ask
ed the court to set aside the verdict
on the grounds that it is grossly exces-
sive; that it is totally against the
weight of the evidence; that it is mani
testify verdict in reaching which the
jury was moved by passion; that punt.
tive, damages must have been given by
the jury and the evidence did not war
rant damages of this character
After hearing the statements OF coun-
sci the court intimated that the verdict
would be reduced somewhat. No deh-
mite amount has been decided as yet.
There was an argument before Judge
Butler Saturday on motion for GER
tilted execution in the case of Gustayus

A. Haskins VS.. V. s. Weaver, in which
the plaintiff was awarded damages OF
$40 for negligence Of the defendant. The
defense was given several days in which
to file a brief.
The plaintiff asked for a judgement
on the verdict in the case of Leo i.
CAVITY VS.. the Rutland railroad, negli-
genco suit in which $ll9l damages were
awarded because the plaintiff was burned
by the explosion of can of denatured
alcohol. Counsel for the railroad was
given leave to make such motion as de-
sired under exceptions taken at the
trial.
