STEEL CARS AND
WRECKS.

A series OF railroad wrecks
coming in rapid succession
seem to enforce the public's
plea for steel in place OF wood
en- coaches. In every case
many lives were saved. Ans
other side OF the question is
suggested, howeve by the
we'll known railroad writer,
James 0. Pagan, ina letter to
New York paper. Mr.. Fa-
gan wants the question looked
into carefully whether these
wrecks in which SO many lives
are saved by steel cars are not
caused by these Same steel
cars. The point he brings up
is that the tracks are not heavy
enough to stand the pressure
Of all-steel trains, and until
tracks are strengthened such
wrecks will occur with increas-
ing regularity. Certainly it
is matter TO be inquired into
The public demands steel cars
because they do not crumble
up in a wreck, but If steel cars
are the cause of wrecks, the
travelling public is between the
devil and the deep sea Mr..
Pagan wants the commerce
to investigate the

preparedness OF the railroads

Arthur Buttles Fired With Re
volver at Thieves.

BRANDON, Sept 81. - The quiet
of the village was disturbed at
o clock yesterday morning by revolver
shots when Arthur Buttles tried to
stop with cold lead two or moro thieves
who attempted to steal his automobile
after they had taken merchandise TO
the value Of at least 500 from the
hardware store Of T.. IL. Button The
matter was reported to State's Attor
nev c. Y. Poulin Of Rutland early yes
tcrdav and Sheriff f.. c. Fish and Dep
utv David \. Barker Of Rutland came
by automobile to look into the case.
The burglars gained entrance to
the store by prying open a window IN
a dark spot III the rear They evident
" worked undisturbcd and the stole 4
Winchester rifle, two receivers, - In
gersoll watches, and about 30 pocket
knives.
Mr.. Buttles was awakened nv Il
noise and, looking out of the window,
saw the burglars, near the building
where his machine was housed. He i'm
mediately opened fire with n revolver
without result Ne the automobile
building was near the store, it IS pre-
sumcd that the same crooks figured in
both breaks. Mr.. Buttles knew moth
ing of the Button burglary until later

with his cooperation and should be
recognized generally by the nations Of
the world, he would be in most ia
vorable position to seek the presidency
before the people of the country.
The best informed men at the cap
ital are not particularly optimistic
about the situation, although here APP
pears to be pretty general agreement
on the point that the pan-American
conference has probably done the wise
thing in deciding to recognize someone
as provisional president without fur
thcr delay. Everybody recognizes
that the fractional differences il the
country constitute the great stumbling
block TO the program that has been
decided on. it seems certain that Gen.
Villa will not consent to the recogni-
ton of CaIranza, and it would be sur
prising if the Pan-Amcrican confer
ence can get unanimous decision that
any man shall be set no as a tempo
rary president. However, it seems
that the governments represented il
the conference intend to push their
program through.
