MUST REDUCE EXPENSES
Brsttleboro and Other Towns in Twin
State Baseball League

The directors Of the Brattleboro
baseball association and fans general
ly believe that there must be change
in the policy of handling the financial
affairs of the Twin State league this
year AS to how this should be ac-
complished, whether through a gener-
al manager or by having directors OF
the several clubs who will stick to an
agreement instead of breaking one, as
has been the case annually, they are
not ready to declare themselves.
President George y. Sherman OF the
Brattleboro club, Vioe-President Il. J
Fenton and Treasurer Glenham Jones
say that salaries and expenses mus
be cut this year Each of them fay
ors four-club league and four game
a week, two of them home games. A.
Mr. Jones said, three home games
could be played without materially III
creasing the expense account, but II Is

count.
Another thing that all OF the direct
ors agree upon is that there win be
more players OF Twin State ability
available this season for salaries with.
in the ability of the league to meet
than has been the case in the past
They do not feel there is any need of
paying salaries out OF all proportion
TO the calibre of the league or of the
players.
Mr. Jones said that neither Brattle.
boro nor any other town in the league
should afford a cent more than $3.50
week for salaries for manager and
layers both. If the manager plays. II
means one less player to carry. With

travellers in other countries and
states The order, decorum, sense of
the proprieties, and the devotion to
duty of the Montpelier legislators
were causes for his congratulations,
and he expressed wish that the
Washington legislators might emulate
them in this respect The congress
men would be surprised could they
see the quiet, studiois attention to
business" said Mr. Greene. THE ma
tional House all day long is like
the stock exchange"
Out of an experience of 20 years at
the reporters table in the Vermont
Legislature and nearly three years as
congressman, Mr.. Greene dwelt fur
Their upon the similarities and differ
ences of the two legislative bodies.
The principles, the essence, the play
of human nature and the interplays
of seIf-interest. local and national,
were just the same in Washington as
in Montpelier
AS New Englander and Yer
monter in Congress, Mr.. Greene found
that he needed no credentials. He al
so realized that his predecessors had
set high standard for him to equal.
The conduct of New Englanders in
Congress was touched upon. They
said little, he declared, but had repu
tation for knowing a lot. Most of
their work was done in committee
rooms. The westerners and southern
ers, he said were great orators.
They also, like all pioneers, had tel.
dency to try to accomplish everything
by legislation to legislate something
out OF nothing.

OF INTEREST TO THIS COUNTY
Several Measures Being Considered
BY the Legislature.

Montpelier, Feb. 22.-Many import
ant bills of interest to Bennington
county are now being considered by
the various committees. Among the
more important of these is bill IN.
troduced by MIR. HOLSTER and entitled
an act to regulate the care of the
poor in Bennington county
The bill is in the hands of spec
ial committee composed of the mem
bers of Bennington county who still
have the matter under considerations
1t is understood that interested par.
ties are to appear before the con-
mittee the first part of March.
No further action has been taken
with reference TO the bill providing
for the levying OF tax on the county
to pay for repairs on the court houses
at Bennington and Manchester. II is
understood that the committees are
awaiting a report on the matter from
the assistant judge before taking ac-
ton.
Three bills introduced by Mr.. Di-
mond of Manchester by request and
which relate to the probating of Wills
have been given a death sentence by
the house having been adversely re.
ported by the judiciary committee
The act introduced by Mr.. Hapgood
OF Peru providing for an exemption
from taxation for Bromley Mountain,
still hangs fire in the committee on
grand list. This mountain has been
decided to this state for scenic and
watershed purposes by Mr.. Hapgood
and he characterized the report
which has been going the rounds at
the state house that he could not
give clear title to the property, as
entirely unfounded.
The act relating to the pollution OF
Peter Brook with slabs and sawdust
is still under consideration by the
general committee and it is now plan
ned to have hearing on the matter
next Tuesday.

'SPECULATORS CAUSE WHEAT ID DECLINE
RumOrs of Foreign Cancella- ti0n of Export Sales
 Affect Prices

Chicago, August 13-Acute weakness seized the wheat market today as re- suit of assertions that export sales of 100000 bushels had been cancelled. Not wthstanding statements that the con tracts nullified were at big premiums for quick shipment by way of the Gulf of Mexico and could doubtless be replaced a little later with northern wheat at much lower prices, the market closed nervous 11sd3ssde1ac under last night with September at 1.07ss and December 1.07A. Corn. finished ssd5sc down; oats off 5sd114c provisions unchanged to 10 cents higher.
 According to a high authority this even- ing the real reason for the wheat cancel lations was to be found in plans of the Italian and French governments to fix maximum prices and to cut off specula- tion.
 Wild rushes to sell smashed wheat prices hard right at the outset this morn inC and caused further breaks later that in some cases amounted to 4a41sc as compared with last night Traders gave but scanty attention to anything except the topsy turvy condition of transactions with the cancelling of export sales might be due to improved chances for the i'm mediate opening of the Dardaneles were not widely accepted Instead, opinion during trading hours leaned to the view that difficulty at present in filling ex- port contracts had a good deal to do With the temporary willingness of for eigners o realize a profit on this side of the water rather than to force de- liveries that had been bargained for
 It was not until long after the close on change that what purported to be the actual motive for the cancelling or export sales was disclosed by one of the leaders here in the foreign trade He said that the Italian government had been relied on to purchase 40, GOO 000 bushels of wheat chiefly from America was taking measures to head off specula- tive Italian importers and to hold down prices. The French government was ex- pected to adopt similar rigid precau- tions.
 Although wheat showed some reaction from the low point of the session the ral- lies were not well maintained The weak foreign exchange situation was one of the depression factors in the late trading On the other hand despite the talk of cancellations, there was new business to the amount of 1S0,O00 bushels in the way of sales here today to eaboard ex. porters.
