NEW YORK HAS WOMAN

New York, Aug 25.-M:s. Verbena
King Of No. 1872 Second avenue, moth

to use the police whistle which she
has been carrying for several months
as defense against men who might
accost her on the street. Prior to
that time she contented herself with
merely slapping their faces.

Brady was sentenced by Magistrate
Krotel in Yorkville court yesterday
afternoon to serve thirty days on
Blackwell's Island after pleading gull

Perhaps that was the least of his
punishment, for Mrs. Kings husky

OIL and GAS NEWS

I mission seems to recognize that ii
can have no control of oil after it
, has reached the surface and probably
has no power by which i. can fix a
price for the sale of oil, but under
! this law it does have right to pro-
hibit producers from taking oil from
the sands when it is being sold at a
price which constitutes waste, as de-
fined in the bill.
Healdton field producers base some
hope upon this provision of the oil
conservation act to get relief from the
30c price. If this power becomes
, established in the corporation COM
mission there is no doubt but what
that power will be construed to cover
such contracts as has been made be-
tween the producers and the Produc-
ers Refining company. That contract
which provides for the sale of oil at
SOC was made subsequent 10 the pass
age of the law, to enforce this pro-
vision to vitiate this contract would
not be disturbance of contracts
made prior to the passage of the
law, but would be used 20 vitiate a
contract made in defiance of the law.
The commission has the right to con-
troll oil as long as it remains in the
sand and if producers contract to
sell their production at price which
constitutes waste, the commission GER
tainly has a right, under the terms of
this law, to vitiate the contracts.
There is no attempt to conceal the
fact that efforts are being made to
get away from the contract made with
the Producers Refining company.
Some of the companies are planning
to call meeting of the stockholders
to elect new set of directors, and
a new set of officers, and to rescind
the contract made with Mr.. Thwing
and his associates, and will ask for
an injunction, pleading tnat the con-
tract is a violation of the statutes,
a violation of the rights of producers,
that it is violation OF the rights
of the community, and is opposed to
the public policy OF the state.
Too much hope should rot be at
tached to the proceedings, for the
reason that a vast sum Of money is
involved, and a desperate fight will be
made to hold the contracts, and the
Santa Fe Railway company, which is
interested in the purchase of the res
iduum of the refinery, viii Use all the
legal talent it has to pegDctuate the
contracts for the sale of oil at thirty
cents. The natural trend Of the pipe
line would be to have the courts keep
the pipe line open Will the matter
was being adjusted and this would
require series of months that might
possibly be extended into years The
commission would require much time
to make necessary Investigations
that it might define waste, and if the
decision of the commission were IA
vorable to the lease holders, then a
fight would be made in the higher
courts and there might be a federal
question involved that would result
in taking the case to the federal SUI
preme court.
There is, however, a hope that in
the definition of waste there is
chance of getting rid Of a burden
which depresses Healdton field oper-
ators who are parties to the 30-cent |
oil contract.

What Was Happening 80
Years Ago

Look out for your dogs. Soon the
destroyer goeth forth, and unless
your canine has a check, his little wag
will soon wag no more.
We learn that Mr.. Richardson has
sold out his interest in the hotel
property recently acquired by him
at Littleton, N. H. ,and consequently
will not leave town.
We understand that the scheme
to enlarge the Island Pond Hall and
lay new floor, has fallen through,
for the present. The fact has been
evolved that Island Pond isn't large
enough for two skating rinks.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Cobb were the
victims of surprise party one day
last week, the occasion being the
fifth anniversary of their marriage.
Many valuable tokens of friendship
and goodwill were left with the sur
prised couple as a reminder of the
event. 1t was most enjoyable af-
fair for all concerned.
Beware of busybodies. A man
who NEEDLES in other peoples affairs
is sure to make mischief. He gener-
ally NEEDLES to serve himself and
constantly lputs different construc-
tions on the same things when said
to different people, so that the most
innocent words get distorted into
applications which those who used
them never intended they should
bear.
Owners of dogs can save dollar
by having their canine friends regis
tered on or before the first day of
April. The act in reference to this
matter reads as follows: Every
owner or keeper of dog, shall, on
or before the first day of April, cause
it to be registered. numbered and
licensed for one year from the said
first day of April, in the office of the
clerk of the city or town wherein
said dog is kept; and shall cause it
to wear around its neck a collar dis
tinctly marked with it's owners
name and its registered number, and
shall pay for such license one dollar,
and if not paid as aforesaid, said
owner or keeper may take such
license on or before the fifteenth of
May, by paying two dollars"

Find $25, 900 on Body

Currency bank books and diamonds
amounting to nearly $500 were
found in the clothing of Thomas R.
Tighe, who died last Saturday in a
room in the Merchants bank block,
where he lived alone since going to
st. Johnsbury six months ago. The
body has been shipped to Boston.
He claimed Charleston, Mass, as his
home. He worked around moving
picture houses. He said he was a
former resident of Rockford Falls,
Me-, where he said he owned
an opera house. A search of his
clothing revealed 300 in money,
diamonds valued at $700 and bank
books showing a balance of between
SIS, 900 and $4,000. The mans di-
vorced wife arrived after his death
from Boston. 1t is said that paper
found in his clothing directed that a
part of the property be given to her.
He has brother whose whereabouts
are unknown and a cousin living in
Newburyport, Mass.

No Longer Coos

The postofflce known so many
years as Coos, has been changed by
the postoffice department to North
Stratford, and the orders are now
in force. Some thirty-five years ago
the Office was changed from North
Stratford to Coos, owing to the
similarity of names of North Straf-
ford, which is in Strafford county,
and North Stratford, which is in
Coos county.
Some time since, the office at North
Strafford was discontinued and the
people of NorthStrafford were served
by rural free delivery from Roches-
ter, thus removing the name from
the postoffice directory of North
STAFFORD. Consequently the people
of this vicinity found the opportunity
to change back, and the office now
will correspond with name of village
and save many conflicting conditions
and experiences for strangers.

HEARING BY
COMMISSION

The public service commission
gave hearing at the Stewart House
yesterday morning and heard argu-
ments for, ,and against, the restoring
of trains A and 5 back upon the
Grand Trunk schedule.
The railroad was represented by
Gen'l. Supt. Bowker, ,Supt. Connolly,
Pass. Traffic Mgr. Cookson and So
licitof Sweetzer. Attorney Cook of
Lyndonville and c. R. Powell looked
after the towns interests; several
prominent citizens also testified.
Mr.. Cook asked Mr.. Bowker many
pertinent questions, several of which
the official was unable to answer
satisfactorily.
MI. Bowker read some interesting
figures on the eXpen litures and rev.
enues of the railroad. He stated
that since the inauguration of the
recent retrenchment scheme by the
road, over million passenger miles
had been clipped off different parts
of the G. 7. System, thereby showing
that Island Pond was not the only
one to suffer. He stated that trains
were taken off where the least
amount of traffic existed. He showed
where, according to the figures he
had with him, that trains now run
ming between Island Pond and Berlin
were operated under heavy deficit
In fact, when queried by Mr.. Cook,
he admitted that none of the first
class trains paid through this part
of the road. A recent record, kept
by the officials of the corporation
showed that but two to four pas
sengers were delivered daily to
North Stratford and Grove,t n,
junction points.
Mr.. Cook interrogated the Gen
feral Superintendent and asked if he
could give the actual expense of
operating the trains in question be-
tween Berlin and here, but, Mr..
Bowker was unable to say what the
actual cost was, remarking that the
cost was compiled on a mileage basis,
taking in the, expenditures of the
whole division. He said that this part
of the road was very valuable, ex-
tremely so during the winter season.
Attorney Powell gave evidence of
the personal discomforts experienced
in riding on mixed train, and made
a strong plea for the return of the
trains in consideration of the value
of the right of eminent domain
granted the road by the people, des-
pite the fact of the temporary loss
sustained by the road in operating
these trains.
Sheriff Bemis, H. l.. Hunt, E. F
johnson and Jas. Skillings also tes
titled.
The hearing closed at 11:30. What
the result will be after the commits
sion has deliberated, is unknown
but, we hope that the service will bt
restored, thereby greatly beneftine
the community.

Bradstreet's Report of
Vermont Conditions

Bradstreet's Burlington. VT, of
flee reports no marked change in the
affairs of the manufacturers in this
State. There is, however, slight
improvement in the number of or
derssreceived by manufacturers of
furniture, which business rep orts
volume of trade during the past six
months, has been considerably below
normal. Manufacturers of marble
for interior finish, indicate a good
volume of business on hand, but the
demand for that product for both
monumental and building work has
been slight. There is little change
in the condition Of affairs in the
granite manufacturing line, Manu-
facturers of slate for interior pur-
poses, state the demand is fifty per
cent below normal, and that labor in
this line is employed accordingly, al
though some plants are operating
stock ordersin order to keep organi-
zation. Roofing slate is in fairly
good demand, Slate quarries during
the winter months are reported not
to have produced as much as usual.
Manufacturers of maple sugar ap-
paratus, indicate good demand and
one manufacturing plant IN this line
is working force over time. A small
improvement in demand for goods
made from gray material is reported.
Garment manufacturers are fairly
we'll supplied with business. During
the past week the warm weather has
encouraged some farmers to tap
their maple trees, but the season in
this line has not fully opened. Some
new sugar has been placed on the
market, but thus far but little is in
evidence. Logging operations at
certain mills have been closed for the
season. Weather conditions have
not permitted much early spring
trading, although some activity in a
small way is reported in certain
lines. Generally trade in the rural
districts is reported as only fair.
Complaint of collections is the COM
ment received from those selections.
The summary of failures for the
week ending March II, indicate seven
per cent less failures than for the
week previous. In this State there
were three voluntary petitions in
bankruptcy filed, but in each case,
the failure is not attributed to other
than the so-called natural causes.
Further reports regarding the build
ing work in the United States for
the month of February this year,
indicate that in 148 cities there was
a decrease of $50 in the number OF
permits and 12.4% in volume over
that for the same month of a year
ago. Of the seven groups, the New
England States group, is one that
shows an increase in this line. There
was an increase of little over two
per cent in the amount of money in
volved and an increase of $50 ir
the number of permits granted.
