In Efforts to Have Belliger-

IN SPITE OF POLICY
ANNOUNCED BY ALLIES
President Insists That Rules
of Warfare May Not
Be Changed

Washington, D. c., March 2.-The
United States will send note to Great
Britain and France, inquiring what
means viii be taken in carrying out the
policy Of holding up supplies being car
ried to and from Germany. President
Wilson told callers at the White House
that the British French note which was
received yesterday outlined in very gem
eral terms the policy but did not define
the means Of carrying it out.
President Wilson refused to discuss
the subject in detail, but said that no
nation has the right to change the rules
of warfare because the methods of war
have changed. He indicated that the
United States win not change its previ-
ously announced position but win con-
tinue to make efforts to have the bell
ligcrents respect American shipping of
a non-contraband character.

ACID DISABLED
MANY FIREMEN
Ten Gallons Were Released in Great
Fire at Woburn Mass,
Last Night.

Wobuin, Mass, March 2.-Ten gallons
of sulpburic acid were released during
fire which destroyed part of the ST.
O0O, 900 plant of the Merrimae Chemical
company last night. The acid was stored
in watts, ready for shipment to Europe,
to be used in the manufacture OF high
explosives, according to officials Of the
company
The acid disabled many fremen, burn
ing their hands and feet and destroyed
hose line. A boy named Warren Allen
fell into pool Of the liquid while watch
ing the flames and was removed TO his
home suffering from serious burns which,
it was feared might prove fatal.
Only one building, the suiphuric acid
house. valued with its contents at up-
wards Of Sl50O00, was destroyed. The
blaze started on the second floor OF this
structure, whether from spontaneous
combustion or some other cause is not
known,
A minor explosion which scattered the
acid about, endangering the firemen, re-
suited ~in orders to the tiremen to work
at safe distance.

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Mrs. Charles Pray of Tilton, N. H., the
Victim.

Tilton. n. H., March 2.-While kind
ling a fire by pouring kerosene oll INTO
a Kitchen stove yesterday, the can ex-
ploded aud Mrs. Charles Pray was en-
veIoped in flames and received burns eN-
tending over the greater part Of her
body. from which she died at s:l5 o'clock
last night at a hospital in Franklin.
Mr. Pray was standing close by when
the accident occurred and attempted to
smother the flames, but did not succeed
in doing SO until most OF Mrs. Prays
wearing apparel had been burned from
her body. She was hsstened to the
Franklin hospital
Mrs. Pray and her husband were clear
ing away breakfast and while she at
tended TO Fastening the fire. he was en-
gagged az the sink few feet away. His
attention was attracted by bright flare
and then his wife gave a scream and sank
TO the floor unconscious. He grabbed
rug and threw IL about her, but the oil
had SO thoroughly saturated her gar.
mcnts that the deadly burns had gotten
in their work aud she was scared from
the top Of her head TO her feet. Finding
that the rug WAS not Of sufficient size
stripped his clothing of and bound Il
about his PROSTATE wife.
This succeeded in accomplishing the
purpose. but when the coverings were re-
moved large pieces Of flesh were drawn
away with them. Hardly an inch of
the front Of Mrs. Pray's body escaped
the ravages OF the flames.
Mr.. Pray was severely burned about
the face, shoulders. arms and hands IN
his attempt at rescue, but he withstood
the pains from his injuries until after
everything possible had been done for
his wife. A physician was summoned.
but found that nothing except first aid
could b, administered al home. and a
hurry cau was sent 60 the hospital IN

burning oh and IN alarm was sounded

FIGHT NOMINATIONS.
Republican Senators Secured Postpone
ment of Action.

Washington, ID. c., March 2.-Republi-
can senators last night opened general
fight against confirmation OF President
Wilson's nominees for the federal trade
commission and continued so tenaciously
that administration leaders after two
hours abandoned the executive session
for the night without a vote.
The names of Joseph +. Davies, Ed
ward N. Hureley w. J. Harris and w.
II. Perry, had been favorably recon-
mended by the interstate commerce com
mission and were ready for disposition
by the Senate. The nomination of George
Rublee of New Hampshire, fifth pro-
posed member OF the commission. was
acted on fayorably by the committee
late yesterday, but when his name was
reported in executive session there was
objection to its consideration and un-
der the rule il wen over until to-day.
Favorable action on the nomination
OF Mr.. Rublee was taken by the inter-
state commerce committee after Senator
Gallinger had again been heard in oppo-
sition. and former Governor Bass and
Winston Churchill had appeared in be-
half Of the nominee and Mr.. Rublee him
self had made a statement.

Barre's Early Voters Not
So Much in Evidence
To-day
LOCAL OPTION VOTE
EXPECTED TO BE CLOSE
There Was Also Promise Of
Close Contest for
Mayor

Weather conditions were favorable to-
day for large vote on questions pre-
tanning to the city Offices as well as on
the open saloon issue. Reports from sew
eral OF the polling places, however, indi-
cate that the total vote polied will be
no heavier than last year, and no one
would be surprised if it were to fall be-
low the figures OF March meeting day
in 1914.
At l0:30 O'Clock this forenoon only
ll0 voters had registered at the polls in
ward 2. Ward officers said that last
year the hour Of 10 arrived with more
than 200 ballots already polled. This
disparity was explained by the fact that
many stoneeutters last year voted be-
fore going to work at o'clock in the
morning. To-day the cutters were not
working, fact which probably explains
the early forenoon detection noted in
practically all of the wards. At the
Church street school, ward | voters had
poIled 100 votes at 1880 o'clock and in
ward a total OF SO ballots had been
cast at 1880 o'clock In both instances
the ward officers thought the voting had
been comparatively slow, If one were to
recall the conditions which obtained last
year.
Speculation as TO the outcome OF the
voting on the license question was one
Of the fayorite topics on the streets this
forenoon. Factions fayoring and oppos-
ing the open saloon have been putting
III their best licks for the past fortnight
and there was feeling Of confidence
on either side The psychological effect
OF the prohibition wave which is said
to be sweeping the country might have
had some effect in bringing out the no
license vote. IL was thought, although
no campaign of long-standing has been
conducted in Barre. The contest be-
tween Frank T. langley. citizens candi-
date and Robert Gordon, the Socialist
nominee for the mayoralty, was admit
edly close. On the ward tickets the only
other close fight was expected to devel.
op in the fifth precinct. where Alder
man NJ. d. keefe. ex-Alderman A. NJ.
Rossi and Richard Ciardi, Socialist can
didate, were running for the sldermanic
office.

Wide Short Skirts This Spring,

In the March Womans Home Compan-
ion Grace Margaret Gould, fashion edi-
tor of that publication, devotes fifteen
or more pages to spring styles. Her de-
partment contains scores OF beautiful
and practical illustrations, together with
the latest news suggestions partleu-
larly directed to telling women how they
NAV have smart clothes at modest prices.
Miss Gould in her fashion talk, re-
ports as follows about the new skirts
for spring wear;
"The new skirts for spring appear in
variety of models, and each and every
one of them cries out You can walk in
met Wide wider widest, aptly fits
into their description. The conservative
skirt measures two and one-half yards
around the bottom, but there are some
skirts that measure five yards. just
think what a Jump we have taken from
the scant yard-around the bottom skirt
"And the skirts are short, too. Oh,
YES. very short, Some are actually six
and eight inches from the ground. You
see. the wide skirt must be the short
skirt If il is 10 be really smart
"How are these skirts made You
ask. Some are circular; some are gored.
but in circular effect some have a panel
front and back with plaits at the sides
or showing fullness gathered there; some
are frilled, and many very many, are
made with hip yoke.
"The majority OF the now skirts show
a higher waist lire than last season and
with few exceptions, they all hang from
an inside belt that Is much wider than
the one used last year"

QUIET PREVAILED
THROUGHOUT CITY
Dissenting Element of the
Union Held Another Meet
ing This Forenoon, and
Granite Cutters Commit
tee Also Talked the Stu
alton Over

The tie.up in the granite industry of
Barre and neighboring towns was with
out change to-day. Owing to the fact
that the city election was scheduled for
to-day no efforts were made yesterday
for any union meeting to-day. The con-
ference committee of the granite cutters
met this forenoon at II o'clock to talk
the situation over. There apparently is
better feeling between the conference
committee and the dissenting element of
the union.
At the Saturday afternoon meeting Of
the cutters in the opera house not all
the members Of the union who went TO
the hall were able to gain admission be-
cause the opera house was not large
enough to hold the entire number; and
this, it is said, was the principal reason
why, when the meeting was adjourned
at midnight Saturday, arrangements
We're made on Sunday with the authority
Of the international executive at Quincy,
for holding ballot Yesterday. The ar
rangement for a ballot was made, it is
further stated, with a view to giving
every member of the union an opportu-
nity to vote on the proposition before
them and which they had not had at Sat
urday's two meetings.
1t is expected that another union meet
ing will not be held until some mutual
understanding can be had with the dis
senting union men. The dissenting union
men held a meeting at Granite street
this forenoon and discussed their side of
the case.
A. far as could be observed on the
streets 10 o-dav, conditions were no differ
ent than ordinarily is the case except
that a larger number OF men than usual
were on the street, which, OF course, was
inevitable when 5000 or more employees
in Barre alone were not working. There
was absolutely no disturbance. From
Yesterday afternoon. when the dissenting
elements parade dispersed on Granite
street until this afternoon there has been
no unusual excitement evident. although
here and there knots Of men were 10 be
seen discussing the situation. Last night,
from early evening. was as quiet as
Sunday night.
This forenoon there were many men
on the streets. either going to or coming
from the polls. or discussing the merits
of the proposition submitted by the
granite manufacturers.

CABINET IN CONFERENCE.
Discusses Great Bhtain's Reply to Ger
man Blockade.

Washington, d. c., March 2--Presi'
dent Wilson to-day placed before his
cabinet the plan OF the allies, as Official
ly communicated to the United States,
to prevent the shipment of all supplies
TO and from Germany, in retaliation for
the German submarine campaign. This
matter was expected to occupy most of
the time of the cabinet session.
1t is considered virtually certain in
official circles that vigorous protest
will be made against what is regarded
as an unprecedented step, and one which
is considered here as one of the most
far reaching developments OF the war,
calculated to work irreparable harm to
the commerce of the United States and
the nations with which She is at peace
1t will work a particularly grave injury
to Americas cotton trade.
If the policy be enforced 1t will no
longer be possible to ship cotton, manu-
.factured articles and commodities hitb-
erto of non-contraband character from
the United States to Germany directly
or indirectly and from the latter coun-
try the supply of dyestufs and other
merchandise for consumption in this
country will be cut of
Assurance given by Great Britain that
Yesterdays note was not u reply to
the recent proposals of the United
States for an adjustment of the entire
situation which led to the retaliatory
measures gave ground for some hopes
that the measures taken might be only
of temporary character. In this con-
nection the state department issued the
following statement;
'The British ambassador has present
ed the following instructions from his
government:
"When presenting joint Anglo French
communication you should inform Unit
ed States government that communica-
tion received from them through the
United States ambassador in London re-
specting possible limitation OF use OF
submarines and mines and an arrange
ment for supplying food for Germany Is
being taken into careful consideration
by his maiesty's government in consulta-
tion with their allies
The text OF the British note, which
was the same as the statement IN the
House of Commons by Premier Asquith,
was given out at the state department
with the information that the French
note was practically identical.
Copies of the notes were immediately
sent by Secretary Bryan to President
Wilson. State department officials ad-
mitted that one of the most complex
problems Of the war had arisen Off
cials were unanimous in their opinion
that the notification could not be called
a blockade" although it had virtually
the effect of the same. IL was noted
generally that the communication did
na use the word blockade and at the
French and British embassies here there
was an avoidance of the same word.
The notes leave much, therefore, to be
explained,
