sary changes in the vestibule of the
Bennington opera house in order 10
put in the inclined floor with which
the owners OF the property have ar
ranged to replace the stairs.
Messrs Wood & Whitney, the new
lessees OF the house, were anxious
that the change should eliminate not
only the stairs in the vestibule, but
also the steps leading from the side
walk but measurements showed that
such a change would create too much
of grade. Removing the stairs in
the vestible will make decided inn
provement that will not only add TO
the convenience of the patrons, but
will do away with a condition that
possessed many elements of danger
in case of a panic or fire,
The booth for the moving picture

DEBT HAS DOUBLED
IN NINE MONTHS
OF CONFLICT
Lloyd George Says Great Britain
Owes Five Billions
EXPENSE TEN MILLION A DAY
Tremendous Cost of War Shown BY
Striking Statement Yesterday BY
British Chancellor.

London, May 5.-Dayid Lloyd
George, the chancellor of the exche-
quer, in his budget speech in the
House of Commons yesterday gave
the British public further insight in
to what the war is costing the nation.
The expenditure at present, Mr..
Lloyd-George said, was e2,1O0,0OO
($1O,5 000) daily, and he added
that If the war continued for a year
Great Britain's bill would be upward
of e1000, 100000 sterling (about $5.-
900 700 .O00). The debt of the coun-
try. according to Mr.. Lloyd-George, al
ready had been almost doubled and
stood well over the $5,00O,OO0,000
mark.
The chancellor declined to predict
the length OF the war. He introduce
ed no measures calling for new taxes
although he hinted that such a step
likely would have to be taken. There
was little discussion Of the budget
itself and the usual income tax reso-
lutions were passed before the House
adjourned. Mr.. Lloyd-George said
he was able to report that the rev.
enue of the country had exceeded
the estimates and that the surtax
and income tax payers were sending
in their money with unusual celerity.
One of the most important an
nouncements made by the chancel-
lor was that no fresh taxes were now
contemplated In this connection he
called attention to what he charac-
terized as the wonderful buOyancy of
the income tax and the supertaX, the
actual yield being e69,399 900, or an
increase of nearly 2S.000.000 over
the estimates. He said the income
tax would be renewed in its present
form, with slight modification, but
warned the House that If the war
were prolonged it would be his duty
to consider in what other form the
general community could provide
funds to enable the country to carry
on the war. AS result of the
years operations, the chancellor said
the national-debt was now G1.165,-
S57 900.

LUMBERJAcKs BEING PAID
sons of Martin Gibson Bring Money
to Montpelier.

Montpelier, May 4.-Charles e. and
William Gibson, sons of Martin Glib
son, the Fayston lumber dealer, ar
rived in the city today and brought
with them the sum of $125, which
was used to pay few of the % lun.
berjacks still quartered in this city
awaiting their winter earnings. The
Gibsons assert that on account of the
fact that much of the property has
been attached Mr.. Gibson has been
unable to raise sufficiently large
sum to settle with all the men, but
that he is trying to secure funds
They suggested that the men be al
lowed to go to Fayston and stay at
the lumber camp until settlement is
made. City Attorney George l.. Hunt
and Chief of Police Connolly, how
ever, wish TO be sure of the men OBJ
tanning their wages and they will be
allowed to stay at the City Hall un-
til Mr.. Gibson settles.

Company Did Work
ROOSEVELT ON STAND AGAIN
Patts Letters Being Used in Case
To Prove Barnes Traded With
Democrats.

Theuiore Roosevelt again went up
on the witness stand in the supreme
court at Syracuse yesterday after
many witnesses, including a son and
a former secretary of the late
Thomas C. Platt-"the easy boss
and Franklin ID. Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy, had testified in
his behalf The former president in
tended, under new ruling OF the
court to offer testimony designed TO
show that he harbored no malice for
William Barnes
II was also his intention to tell
about certain things not specified in
the pleadings which. under the origi-
nal ruling were excluded But errors
committed in transcribing his testi-
mony under direct and cross-exami'
nation were pointed out. SO the
colonel used up nearly an hour and
a half of the afternoon session in
correcting them. His counsel plan
ned to have him resume the stand in
the morning
Proceedings in court were disturb
ed by large number of Syracuse
university students marching around
the courthouse and cheering for at.
r. The sheriff was ordered to dis
perse the crowd and did so.
One of the most effective points
scored by Mr. Bowers today was the
linking together of much of the evi-
dence regarding the Albany printing,
and Mr.. Barnes's connection with it,
matters which hitherto had been be-
fore the jury only in fragmentary
form. The Roosevelt counsel was
able to show that the j. B. Lyon
Printing Company OF Albany, in
which Mr.. Barnes held large block
of stock, obtained nearly SS,000.000
of State printing contracts during the
last fifteen years. although several
other printing concerns got the con-
tracts first by bidding lower than the
Lyon concern. The Lyon Company
generally put in bid at high figure
and when the contract went some
where else, usually to what was prac
tically a dummy concern, so it was
made to appear, it was turned over
to the Lyons company

Tense of Pekin
Pekin, Chan, May military Pre-
paTations are bein gmade for the de-
fense of Pekin. According TO Chinese
officials, whose statements have been
corroborated in other circles, the gov
ernment is making no preparations
elsewhere than at the capital for de-
tense, considering that the Chinese
will be unable to oppose the Japan
ese should they make an attack
1t is asserted in high circles tnat
100000 troops have been concentrat-
ed in the environs of Pekin, but with
sufficient ammunition for only brief
resistance. Special police and mill
tary precautions have been taker
throughout the city, especially
around the winter palace, where
President Yuan Shi Kai resides. The
officials declare they are suspicious
that the Japanese may attempt a re-
petition of the Korean coup d'etat.

mously to award the contract TO

the board and requested that sewers
be built so as to give them connec-
tions. They were informed that the

preparation for sewers and that their
only method was to build the sewers

North Adams Boys at the Y. M. c. A.
Last Night.

The Gymnastic Carnival at the Y.
NJ. c. A. last night proved to be
great success and the audience of
100 people thoroughly enjoyed every
number. The North Adams senior
team did splendid work on the ap-
paratus and the Boxing and Wrestl-
ing exhibitions were received with
great applause: the performing of
the pyramid team on the German
horse and the parallel bars were
two of the best demonstrations Of
pyramid work ever seen in the local
gym. and Physical Director Cate of
North Adams deserves much credit
for these two acts. Mr. Cate also
went on in the tumbling with one of
his men and their work was up to
the standard.
Sixteen of the local boys from the
Junior class did well in their march
ing and dumb-bell drill. There were
33 different individuals who took
part.

1t is feared that other trawlers will

Zennebeck, about four miles fiom
Ypres and two miles southeast of st.

the British war office this evening
the statement is made that in the

The victory over the Russians in
Western Galicia, announced by the
Austrians and Germans, grows in
size, according to the official claims.
Thirty thousand Russian soldiers, %
cannon and Ga machine guns were
captured, according to an official
statement given out in Vienna yester
day afternoon.
The official German statement says
that in the first day of the engage
ment the Germanic allies captured
II 500 prisoners. 16 guns, AZ machine
guns and large quantity of war
material a school holiday has been
proclaimed throughout Germany in
celebration of Gen Won Mackensen's
victory.
But Russia has not yet admitted
disaster An official communication
issued at Petrograd last evening con-
cedes that the Austro-German forces
have crossed to the right bank of the
Dunajec river. 1t says, however, that
desperate fighting continues.
A dispatch from London last night
said; There was no mention in the
Berlin and Vienna reports of any
towns. such as Gorlice and Tarnow,
which were close to the front, being
captured. which leads the British mil
itary critics to the conclusion that,
while the Germanic allies have won
important local successes, they have
not driven the Russians very far
back. Should they succeed in doing
this, however, it is asserted, a gener
eral retreat of the Russians would be
imperative and the whole Carpathia.,
offensive would be completely null
fed. The Russian side of the story
is anxiously awaited. for a big sue
cess in the east, it is believed here,
would mean an immediate beginning
of operations on a large scale ir the
west, for which the Germans already
are making preparations
