Boxing Match at Foresters' Hall
Was Short Affair
MAIN BOUT WENT 81 SECONDS
North Adams Boy Stopped by Ben
nnston Opponent in One-Third
OF Round.

1t took kid Foster of Bennington
just 81 seconds to win his match
with kid" Dempsey of North Adams
in the boxing exhibition at Foresters
hall Wednesday evening. The Massa-
chusetts boxer appeared to have the
little the best of his opponent in
weight, but he failed to last much
more than one-third of the opening
round.
Foster went after Dempsey with
the tap of the bell. Vhe boxers spar
red for a few seconds in the center
of the ring and Dempsey made one
swing, which had it landed would
have worried the Bennington boy.
Foster then sailed into Dempsey and
kept up such a fusilade of blows that
the North Adams boy was unable to
make a start Dempsey, during the
last 80 seconds, endeavored to cover
up but he left an opening and a
wicked uppercut landed him on the
canvass for the count
The preliminary match between
two local boys provided considerable
entertainment. Both boxers were ap
parently willing to mix things" but
there were no rough tactics.
The crowd was not so large as
many that have attended boxing and
sparring matches here in recent
years and the management found
the gate insufficient to meet ex-
penses.

Who Won't To Reason His Own Way Destruction But

against the establishment of a State
printing plant, or any other concern
that would break in upon his alleged
printing monopoly. The new tesli,
mony was considered by the Roose
welt forces to be highly damaging to
Mr.. Barnes.
AS another link in their contention
that Barnes was in an alliance be.
tween crooked business and crooked
politics the Roosevelt counsel also
brought out through William II
Hotchkiss, State superintendent OF
Insurance under Governor Hughes,
the fact that thousands of useless
copies of insurance reports had been
printed, only to be stored in the attic
of the State Capitol, and that when
Mr. Hotohkiss tried to get the law
changed so as to cut off the extrava.
gance his bills were held up by Dem
ocratic and Republican legislators.
The Roosevelt counsel openly charg-
ed that Barnes was responsible for
the useless printing and for TIE fate
of the bills.

GUNTHER'S DEATH
IS CHARGED TO I
GERMANS
Died From Shock When His Ship
Was T0rpedOed
AMERICAN CAPTAIN OF GUlFLIGHT
Ship Was Flying Large American
Flag Which Must Have Been
Plainly Visible.

Penzance, England, May 5.-At the
inquest today into the death of Cap
tain Alfred Gunter of the American
oil tank steamship Gulflight, which
was torpedoed on May l off the Sell
ly Islands, the verdict is that his
death was caused by ''heart failure,
accelerated by shock, caused by the
torpedoing OF the ship
Testimony given at the inquest
showed that the Gulflight was flying
very large American flag at the
time she was torpedoed.
Second officer Boness in his testr
mony said it was impossible that the
submarine could have mistaken the
Gulflight for British vessel, be-
cause the weather was clear and the
large American flag which the steam
er was flying must have been visible
for considerable distance.
The Gulfight, he continued, was
torpedoed without the slightest warn
ing. The torpedo struck forward.
Had it struck amidships, none of the
crew, in his opinion would have been
saved, because the naphtha which
the steamer was carrying would have
caught fire and the vessel would
speedily have been ablaze.
The Coroner said the torpedoing of
a neutral vessel was contrary to all
the recognized usages of warfare,
but that no denunciation Of the act
would have any effect in inducing
the Germans to change their meth
DDS. 2
Captain Gunter's body has been
embalmed and will be sent to the
United States.

RUSSIANS IN WEST.
GALIC|A FORCED
TOREFORM LINE
Berlin Claims Are Retreating After
Severe Defeat
BITTER BATTLE AT GORLICE
SIavs Made Stubborn Stand to Hold
Village and Were Shot Down in
Hundreds.

Berlin, May 6.-The great battle in
western Galicia is progressing favor
ably for the AustroGerman forces,
according to the official report, which
says that the attack north of the
wooded Carpathians pierced the
third fortified Russian line and that
the Russians are retreating after de-
feat along the entire front. The Rus
slams are beginning to evacuate
threatened positions on their north
ern flank to the southwest of Dukla
Pass. says this report
The southern wing of the Russian
army in West Galicia has been brok-
en- along a front of Sc ldlometers GA
miles,, according TO dispatch ~
ceived by the Berlin Tageblatt. THE
attack was made with such determin-
alton, says the correspondent, that
the Russians were forced TO abandon
not only their first lines. but also
the villages back of the front, which
served as quarters. Only in Gorlice
did the Russians make stand. This
town was destroyed by an artillery
bombardment and bitter street
fight preceded its capture by ths Ger
mans"
Dispatches to Berlin from the
West Galician battlefelds say that
Russian prisoners describe the ef.
fects Of the Austrian and German ar
tillery fire as appalling. The havoc
thus wrought was particularly severe
at Gorlice, where the Russians fought
stubbornly and for four hours en-
dured terrific fire. In this time,
according to these reports, divisions
dwindled to regiments and regiments
to companies. The Russian center
was so shaken by the reverses sus-
tanned by the two wings that it was
compelled to abandon its positions.
Thousands of prisoners were made
in the center as well as on the
wings. The victory of the Austro-
German forces is considered of es-
pecial Importance because 1t deprives
the Russian army in the Carpathans
of protection against a llanking move
ment.

Falling Hair or
Itching Scalp

Now that Partisan Sage-an mex
pensive preparation that supplies
every hair and scalp need-can be
had from W. l.. Gokay, it is certainly
needless to have thin, brittle, matted,
stringy or faded hair. No matter how
unsightly your hair, how badly ii is
falling or how much dandruff, Paris
ian Sage is all that is needed. Every
trace of dandruff is removed with
one application, the hair roots are
nourished and stimulated to grow
new hair, itching scalp and falling
hair cease
Partisan Sage is certainly one of
the most invigorating tonics, and will
surely make your hair soft, abundant
and radiant with life and beauty.

depression. The Germans admit
that they lost 10000 killed and make

But Wise Man Must Distinguish Between Reason and Bunk
WILL REBUILD BUILDING
Civic League To Replace House
on Playground.

on Playground
The shelter house on the play
ground. which was burned a couple
of weeks ago, was insured with con-
tents, for $3.50 by the Howe lnsur-
ance Co. This sum was allowed en-
tire by them almost Immediately
but unfortunatel ydoes not cover
complete loss which is estimated at
$1O0 additional.
In replacing the shelter house, it
seems best now to take a step in ad-
vance and build a pavilion. There
has been a growing need for some
sort of cool resting place where
mothers may bring their babies and
sewing and watch the older children
play on the hot summer afternoons.
The trees on the playground are SO
young that they afford no shade and
the children should have some place
to sit down out of the sun FOR the
storytelling, hand craft. etc. pa
Wilton also offers a floor for folk
dancing, a grand stand for ball
games and holiday observances, and
a general shelter in case of sudden
showers. Since tic fire necessitates
rebuilding some kind OF shelter for
the apparatus, 1t seems best to build
for all time by building a pavilion
with suitable place to store the ap-
paratus under the floor. The prob
lem is to do this with the limited
funds at hand. The committee in
charge feels that in view of the gen.
erous support which the playground
has always had, they are safe in
building for the future, from the
ground up and is going just as far
this year as they have money to pay
for the work.
1t has been voted by the Civic
league TO apply to the building of tIe
pavilion any money that can be saw
ed in replacing the equipment. The
Bennington playground was the best
equipped for its size of any in this
section of the country. 1t was the
result of four years accumulation
through the efforts of the Giylr
league and the donations of interest
ed citizens. Practically all the stand
ing equipment and large pieces OF
apparatus were made here in town
and in some cases only the material
was supplied by the league, the labor
being freely and generously given.
If any OF the following list of small
equipment and supplies necessary for
the up-keep of the grounds could be
given by parents whose children
have outgrown their use or by inter
ested individuals or organizations,
the money gained thereby will be
applied to the pavilion fund:
Flag, croquet set, quoits, baseball
supplies, including bats. all kinds of
gloves, bases, catcher's mask. foot
ball volley ball and net, tether ball
outfit. tennis racquets and balls, ten
mis- net faba gaba board and bean
bags. lawn mower, wheel-barrow.
spTinkling can, shovel, rakes, bubble
fountain, tennis roller and hose, ten
mis- marker, table, bulletin board,
load of sand.
Anyone interested in contributing
will please communicate with Miss
Vossler, recreation director; Mrs. Fl.
NJ. Richie, chairman of Building
committee; Mrs. Warwick S. Carpen-
ter, president of Civic League.
The league takes this opportunity
of gratefully acknowledging gift of
$40 from the Fortnightly club. This
money will be used in replacing the
jumping standards

London, May 6.-The Russian re
ports. which describe desperate fight
ing, but do not admit disaster, are
being accepted by British military
critics as reducing the German
claims of victory in this battle.
Observers in London are of the OF,
inion that the fact that the Russians
have not been diverted from their
objective elsewhere and that the bat
ties in the Stry region continue with
unabated energy is good evidence
that the situation of the Russians is
not so critical as has been painted,
and the idea is being advanced in
London that political reasons may
have had something to do with the
huge Importance attached to this sue
cess by the German and Austrian gov
ernments in their official communi-
cations concerning it.

London, May 5.-The German Off
cial report issued this afternoon
claims a victory over the British to
the east of Ypres in Flanders, Field
Marshal Sir John French, the British
Commander in Chief, has admitted
that he was compelled to readjust his
lines in the region of Ypres, but the
French communication, far from con
tirming a German victory in Belgium,
says that the German attacks were
repulsed and that the Germans. be-
ing taken on the flank by French ar
tillery, suffered very severely.
a late report from the British War
Office also says that German attacks
were repulsed, although the Germans
used asphyxiating gases and did get
footing by the use of these fumes
on Hill No. 60, southeast of Ypres,
which since the British captured it
recently has been repeatedly attack
ed
There has been fighting all along
the rest of the western front, in all
of which the Germans say they maze
been successful. The French, how
ever, have another story to tell They
insist that their advance continues
both along the User Canal and in the
Woevre, where battles have been
continuous for weeks. In the latter
region, however, they admit that the
Germans took some positions in the
ALLY wood, near st. Michel, and that
at the time of issuing the night bul.
letin the French had recaptured only
a part of them.
