LEG BADLY BROKEN

Section Foreman p. " Perrott Ser
iously Injured This Afternoon.
Patrick V. Perrott. section foreman
| on the Bennington branch OF the Rut-
land railroad sustained a broken leg
and other injuries in an accident just
east of the rock cut early this after
noon. One leg is badly broken above
the knee and the other may be frac-
tured above the ankle The break is
of compound nature and the injured
man lost much blood before the ser
vices OF a physician could be secured.
Perrott and his gang of men were
at work with handcar when they
were warned by whistle of the ap-
proaeh of light engine on its way
from Rutland TO Chatham. The men
hurried to remove the car from the
rails and the engineer applied the
BRAKES but The wheeTes Of the 1ocomo-
tive failed TO grip and slid over the
track to a point a few. feet beyond
where the, car had been standing.
The section men were successful in
removing the hand car before the To-
comotive reached them, bnt Perrott
apparently slipped and stumbled in
front ofsthe engine. He was thrown
from the track by the contact of the
locomotive but the wheels did not
pass over his body.
The injured man was brought to
Bennington on the light engine and
DR. l.. H. Ross was summoned. The
physician at once stated that one leg
was badly broken and he thought that
the other was fractured in the yiclni
ty of the ankle. Accompanied by the
physician the injured man was taken
on the flyer to one of the Troy hospi
tails

FRIEND TELLS HIS VIEWS
Colonel Roosevelt Not a Candidate
and Willing to Support Republican
Not Of the Old Guard

Washington, Dec. 19.-George e
Miller, Washington correspondent OF
The Detroit News, and close per.
sonal and political friend of Theo-
dore Roosevelt for many years, re.
Gently visited the Colonel at Oyster
bay and had long talk with him re-
garding the political situation and his
own attitude toward it, While not at
liberty to quote the Colonel directly,
Mr.. Miller has no hesitation in repeat
ing the views and opinions expressed
by the former President On this
question OF candidates, Mr. Miller
said
Colonel Rooseyelt's declarations
permit me to say that if the Republi-
cans nominate such a man as Justice
Hughes or Ex-Governor Hadley, or
former Secretary of State Knox of
Pennsylvania, on a reasonably pro-
gressiye platform, the Colonel will
support him. believe this to be the
absolute fact. He respects Justice
Hughes's conscientious scruples and
admits it may establish highly dang
erous precedent to go to the United
States Supreme Court for Presiden-
tial candidate, but says the question
OF that precedent might as well be
settled now as at some later time"
Regarding the possibility Of Colonel
Roosevelt's becoming a candidate for
the Republican nomination, Mr.. Mil
Ter said
q do not believe any living man
can say. or induce the Colonel to say.
that he is a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination in 1916, either ac-
tive, passive, or even receptive; yet
many are trying to get such an ex-
preston or admission from him. They
come from all parts of the country
and his Office is thronged with them.

Omcials Of the diocese have made
every effort to find trace Of the
money and state that they have been
unsuccessful. The books and ac-
counts Of the late Father Barron have
also been carefully investigated with
ont disclosing any record which
would account for any such amount
OF money. According TO the officials
