DISTRICT
INCREASES TAX
Larger Expenses Necessitated 55-Cent
Rate - Uncertainty Because of
New Education Law.

The annual meeting of the town
school district was held in Academy
hall. West Brattleboro, last evening,
but there was not q large attendance.
Frank d. It. Stowe was moderator and
j. l.. Stockwell was reelected school
director for three years.
1t was voted to raise q 55-cent tax,
as against 50-eent tax last year. The
increase was made necessary in part by
the higher rate of tuition charged by
the incorporated school district in the
east village and partly by the fact
that less money was received from the
state the past year.
A year ago the district closed the
year with a debt of about 5000. This
year, by July l, the debt will be about
81, 500. A 55-cent tax will raise about
81 900. This will pay the increased
tuition and reduce the debt somewhat,
other things being equal, but the new
school law makes the situation from q
financial viewpoint very uncertain.

MRS. J. MI. POWERS
DIES IN HOSPITAL
Was Wife of Prominent Athens Citi-
zen and Mother of Principal Of
Leland and Gray Seminary

Mrs. Phoebe Augusta (BalD Powers.
60, wife of Jerry NJ. Powers of Athens,
died this morning at $40 clock in
the Memorial hospital, where she had
been a patient two weeks. She had
been in failing health since last fall
Mrs. Powers was born in Athens
July 80, 1855, daughter of Dustin
and Lucy (Perham) Ball. She began
teaching in the public schools of the
county at the age of IA years and con-
tinued as a teacher for four years af-
ter her marriage to Mr.. Powers, which
took place in Athens July 80, 1879.
She had always made her home in
Athens, although she spent the last
winter in the home of her son, Prin-
cipal Guy NJ. Powers of Leland and
Gray seminary in Townshend Mrs
Powers had been a member of the
Methodist church of Athens from girl
hood and was an earnest worker in
the Y. p. S. C. E.

in the subsequent fighting.
The contest is still raging.
Domestic politics continue to absorb
attention in England, but there is delay
in attaining definite results and the
membership of the new cabinet has
not been announced This delay is
said to be due to the insistence by
the Unionists on eight places in the
cabinet. A clean sweep is looked for
in the admiralty where it is expected
that Baron Fisher as well as Winston
Spencer Churchill will 60
1t is said that German troops with
heavy guns, aeroplanes and Zeppelins
are already passing through the valley
of the Adige river in the direction of
Verona and that rapid and fierce blows
will be delivered most Immediately at
the Italian center. This the Germans
doubtless believe would serve to hold
off an italian advance from the prov
ince of Venice, where the fiat nature
of the country would give the Italians
greater chance of success.
Throughout Austria and Germany
there is bitter denunciation of Italy
which for the moment has replaced
| England as the most hated enemy. In
the allied countries, on the other hana
Italian intervention is hailed with de
light, and in the Italian quarters OF
London and Paris there have been en-
thusiastic demonstrations and cheering
| farewells to the Italians leaving fol
home to join the colors.
Rumania, Greece and Bulgaria have
made no move yet. The government Of
Bulgaria has reiterated that it vii
continue to observe an attitude of neu
trality so long as Bulgarian interests ar,
not directly affected, and it sees M
reason why they would be- The op
position, however, is voicing the opin
ion that Bulgaria should seize the op
portunity to join the allies
Bulgaria may be drawn in through
an incident which has arisen between
her and Turkey over the seizure b.
Turkey of a number of Bulgarian rail
way ears loaded with goods. Sofi
has lodged a protest against this ac
tion. Rumania may be affected by
change of fortune in the battles i
middle Galicia.

FIRE MAY HAVE
BEEN INCENDIARY
e. M. Anglers Blacksmith Shop Scene
of Dangerous Blaze Last Night
Big Crowd Turned Out

Early discovery of a fire in the two
story frame building on the north side
of Flat street owned by E. M. Angler
and occupied on the ground floor by
Phillip G. Colgrove as a blacksmith
shop and in the front part of the sec
ond story by II. M. Sweetland as a
paint shop, prevented another spectac-
ular and disastrous blaze in that see
ton last evening. The origin OF the
fire has not been determined, but
Thomas Guiheen, who discovered it in
the second story and ran up the stairs,
saws that it looked to him as though
the fire had originated in a pile of
light wood in the rear room, which
was used for storage purposes.
The firemen lost no time in getting
plenty of water on the flames, know
ING well the infIammable nature or the
contents of the second floor and appre-
ciating the danger of q spread to the
building of the Valley Grain company
next east and to the stables and sheds
at the rear. Three strong streams soon
drowned out the fire, which was con-
fined entirely to the rear room of the
second floor. One stream was directed
against the roof from a second story
window in the Valley Grain building.
Mr.. Sweetland s stock of paint in
the front room was not damaged, but
the blinds from the building of Bond
& Son. which We're in the rear ROOM
were burned, as was tool box and
some wooden articles stored there by
Mr. Angler. The fire did not originate
around the tile chimney which goes
through the room from the forge in the
blacksmith shop. The building was
insured.
As it was Monday evening a bis
crowd was on hand promptly, but aftel
the first five minutes there was noth
ing spectacular about the fire. Th'
automobile combination truck agar
demonstrated its usefulness, reaching
| the scene well in advance of the horse
drawn apparatus.

DUNTON ENTERS
PLEA OF GUILTY
Denies Intention of Guilt, However :
Disagreement over Details of
Transaction in Junk.

John B. Dunton, junk dealer and
dealer In furniture and secondhand
goods, was arraigned in the municipal
court yesterday afternoon charged with
receiving stolen property, John Flem-
ing, Is, having confessed in the ju-
venile court to having stolen junk
from Holden & Martin and sold it to
Dunton and his son.
Before entering a plea Mr.. Dunton
told his story to the court and there
was informal discussion of the case by
Mr.. Dunton, States Attorney o. B.
Hughes and l.. E. Holden, who was
present to testify if wanted Mr. Dun
ton said he always had done business
on the square and that while he bought
some lead pipe of the Fleming boy
knowing that it was stolen property
he did so at Mr.. Holden s request, the
latter having told him that pipe was
being stolen from the firm and that if
any was offered him to buy it and note
who the seller was and that he would
be reimbursed
He said Mr. Holden specified that
new pipe was being stolen, and that
the pipe which he had bought was old.
He also said that the conversation on
the subject between himself and Mr.
Holden was on Saturday, May Is, and
later on the same day he bought some
| pipe of the Fleming boy. He denied
| having bought more than one batch OF
pipe of Fleming.
Mr.. Holden asserted that his talk
| with Mr.. Dunton was on Monday, May
| IL, and that Mr.. Dunton already had
bought the pipe but didn t say any
thing about it. He also said he told
Mr.. Dunton that both old and new pipe
had been stolen.
State s Attorney Hughes inquired as
to what Mr.. Dunton did with the pipe
after he bought it, and whether he no
titled Mr.. Holden. Mr.. Dunton stated
that he did not notify Mr.. Holden be
cause he supposed the latter woult
make an inquiry in due time, and h,
said he did not keep it by itself bu
threw it on pile with other junk.
Mr.. Dunton said he wished to peaC
guilty, although asserting that he wa
not guilty. Judge Barber advised hin
to secure counsel if he was not guilty
but Mr.. Dunton preferred to close tn
! matter up at once and entered plet
, of guilty. The court imposed fine o
{ $40 and costs, the total being 5000
which Mr. Dunton paid.

BRIDGEPoRT's MURDER MYSTERY
Police Trying to Discover Identity of
Woman's Body Found by Dredgers.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 25.-The
police today continued their efforts to
unravel the mystery surrounding the
finding here yesterday on the shore of
pond of the dismembered torso of
woman. The body, unearthed by la
borers who were at work dredging, had
only the right arm and hands attached
the head and other members being
missing. 1t was clad in chemise and
night gown, and sewed up in a sheet.
The only clue so far discovered by
the police is the mark B % found on
mans garment dug up not far from
the spot where the body was buried.
The medical examiner after an autopsy
said there was no question that the
woman was murdered. She could not
have been more than 80 years old and
the autopsy showed a normal condition
and normal health at the time of
death.
In the opinion of the police she was
a stranger to Bridgeport and the theo-
ry is advanced that she may have been
murdered on boat and brought here
| for burial.

LIVES IN RICHFORD
Brattleboro Contestants Failed to Win
California Trip-Gov. Gates One
of the Judges.

Brattleboro' pretty girls failed to
score in the beauty contest conducted
by the Boston Traveller and the Boston
Sunday Herald. Several from this
town submitted their Photographic
ikenesses in the hope of winning free
transcontinental trip to the expositions
in San Francisco and San Diego, buc
the features that appealed most to the
judges were those of Miss j. Frances
Hamilton of Richford. Gov. Charles
W. Gates of Franklin was one of the
judges and as no one ever questions
the soundness of his Judgment on Yer
mont products, be they highways or
girls, the verdict will be accepted as
Just even if the winner does come from
the governor S own county. Miss
Hamilton is a native of Richford and
her parents were the late DIR. and Mrs.
j. II. Hamilton. The prettiest girl in
Vermont will leave Richford Sunday
evening with other prettiest girls of
New England and will make the trip
with no expense whatever and in the
best Of company. The other judges
were Rev. Homer A. Flint of Montpel-
ier and Mrs. George H. Smile OF

LONDON, May %, 11.52 a. m. -
Active military and naval operations
are now under way between Austria
Hungary and Italy, but there has been
no contact of land forces of any great
strength. Air and naval raids of q
minor character form the sum total
of the first "a hours of warfare be
tween the former associates of the
triple alliance. 1t is generally under
stood that Italy has arrived at an
agreement with her new allies under
terms of which she will sign the exist
ing pact not to conclude separate
peace.
On the eastern frontier the signs of
a check to what seemed at one time
an overwhelming Austro German often.
sive movement are becoming more and
more apparent. Even the flying wedge
driven into the Russian center along
the river San has been compelled tc
give ground before the energetic coun
ter attacks of the Russians.

ing gases succeeded in penetrating the
British lines at two points, but hC

ITALY lMADES
PART OF AUSTRIA
Penetrates Territory North of Trieste Naval
Raids by Italian Destroyers Germany HuHyng
Troops in Direction of Verona No Separate
Peace for New Ally

Official announcement was made by
the war office in Rome today that
Italian forces had penetrated Austrian
territory along line running about
40 miles from the gulf of Triest, cap
turing four towns within two or three
miles of the frontier
An Italian destroyer raided the Aus
trian port of Buso, near the frontier,
destroying the landings, railroad sta
tion and barracks. Two Austrians were
killed, the first casualties reported in
the new campaign.
1t is regarded in London as proba-
bic that the Austro-German army will
make the frst important move by
striking at the Italian center in the
direction of Verona,
Heavy fighting is in progress once
moro on the western end of the
French Belgian front British and
French forces are making attacks at
various points between Arras and the
coast. There is yet no sign, however,
of general assault by the allies such
as has been predicted. Dispatches
from Athens reiterate the report that
the Turkish attack on Gallipoi PENN
sula, made with the pick of the Otto
man army, was failure. 1t is stated
