BETHEL
Horse Frightened By Auto Did Circus
Performance.

Il
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Alexander OF Roch-
ester were thrown out of their carriage
in the midst of the Saturday night crowd
on Main street about o'clock when
their horse, apparently alarmed by an
automobile standing near the Edison
block, made q quick turn, cramping the
buggy onto Rs hubs. Having tipped out
Mrs. Alexander, the horse, now quite be-
yond control threw out Mr.. Alexander
and continued in circle till it met the
Central Vermont railroad passenger depot
railing, which it partly jumped, being
held by the harness straps and for some
moments was in the painful position
of hanging over the iron railing, partly
supported by its hind legs. There was
nothing to do but to cut the straps and
let the horse fall head first to the lower
level OF the depot drop of seven or
eight feet. Fortunately not much dam
age was done. Mrs. Alexander was
helped up and carried to DIR. Greene's
office, where bruises and scratches were
the worst injuries found. Her husband
was not hurt. The horse apparently was
not injured and the damage to the bug
gy was of a minor nature. The incident
was witnessed by scores Of people who
thronged that part of the street, and it
looked like first-class tragedy. The Alex
anders were guests at r. j. Burnett's
and returned there for the night. The
rig was hired that morning at +. L. Mar
tins livery stable in Rochester.

TARIFF SUPPORTERS
ORGANIZE LABORERS
Republicans Circulating Peti-
tions Asking That High Tar
iff Rates Be Restored.

Chicago. Feb. Wage earners in ev-
cry state are being organized to the
end that demand may be made on
the republican national leaders next
year for platform declaration in ia
vor Of IAN adequate protective tariff
and have that demand backed. on pa
per at least, by several million voters.
Chicago is a center from which much
of this organization work is being di-
rected. No noise is being made by
those in charge.
Vast piles of membership cards have
been received. and when the repubIi-
can chieftains gather next year the
leaders in this movement expect to be
prepared to present a formidable or
ganization demanding protective tariff
legislation.
Catchy slogans have been adopted by
:he National Republican Association of
Labor Men, which is the name OF the
organization. Some of them are. Made
N America" Trade in America" Keep
Our Workers Employed" and Help
Ourselves First" All OF these things
are said naturally to follow the enact
ment of an adequate protective tariff
Membership is restricted to actual
wego earners. Those who vote the re-
publican ticket are solicited first Then
those who have not been identifi I'd with
that party are asked to join.

CH|CAGOANS PLAN
BOYCOTT ON BREAD
Women Considering Extreme
Measures to Keep Down
PriCeS-Urge Housewives
to Do Own Baking.

Chicago. Feb. 2.-While the Chicago
Master Bakers association is planning
to advance the price of ordinary loaves
of bread to cents a loaf and of large
loaves to IL cents, counter activities
in behalf OF the city breadwinners al
so are under way.
One movement against high prices
for bread was made known by Mrs.
II. V. Won Hoist, chairman of the mar
ket committee of the Clean Food club.
Mrs. Won Hoist said the bread subject
will be given attention by the club
at its next meeting and expressed the
belief that the situation may invite
another crusade similar to the egg
boycott.
In the meantime Mrs Won Hoist
Your Own Bread" may become the
price goes up. She also said cooking
classes may be organized to teach
inexperienced housewives how to do
their baking at home.
Among the suggestions are:
l. That graham -four. oatmeal and
COrnmeal be used more freely in sim
pie baking at home.
2. That more attention be paid to
vegetables as partial substitute for
bread
3. That people who have ranges
suitable for bread baking bake their
own loaVes, and use less white flour
and more OF the coarser cereal prod
ucts.

perts of the department Of agriculture

HULL HOUSE ATTENDANTS
JEER At IhME adams
aNt%Nl

Chicago, Feb. Miss Jane Adams,
of Hull House, was derided today bv
the institution which she founded
when she attempted to dissuade at
PENDANTS at a meeting for the unem-
plOyed from parading without a per-
nit. Her advice was disregarded and
n considerable number of men plodded
down town and back through the
slush and rain. They were cheered in
the down town streets. A handful of
mounted police, snug in pOnchOs, rode
behind them, but did not interfere.
Several speakers denounced the po-
lice, but when Miss Adams attempted
to speak she was met with cries and
calls and shouts that the crowd did not
care to hear her.

CHOLERA OUTBREAK
FEARED IN EUROPE
Thousands of Dead Bodies In
Shallow Graves Menace
Health of Continent
Physicians Say.

London, Feb. 2.--It is only a mat
ter of time, in the opinion of physl-
clans who have visited the battle front
of France and Belgium. when cholera
will make it's appearance among the
armies in western Europe and per-
haps cross the channel into England.
The men fighting in the east. notably
the Austrians, have suffered from
cholera, more or less epidemic through
out the region, but so far as is known
there have been no cases in the west
But with the coming of the spring
thaw in France and Belgium, the
thousands Of dead lying in shallow
graves will render a vast field of oper-
atoms highly unsanitary, menacing the
health of those whose powers of resist
ance have broken down or weakened
by the strain OF unwholesome trench
warfare.
Moreover the Germans have from
time to time shifted forces from east
to west and vice versa. In view OF
this it will be surprising if cholera
does not follow these shifts.
The Germans have been criticised
for burning their dead, but even Eng
lish physicians are inclined to admit
that this, after all, is the most humane
method, in that a body once inciner-
ated is no longer menace to the liv-
ing.
Presumably the French and British
authorities are doing all in their pow
er to forestall cholera epidemic, but
they have not inocHated the troops
as the Germans have done in the east
They have met with strong opposition
in their endeavOrs to inoculate against
typhoid, a procedure to which so many
soldiers, supported by anti-vaccination
societies and similar organizations
have violently objected.

SENATORS RESUME
SHIP F|LIBUSTER
Truce Is Ended and Both Sides,
Refreshed, Say Battle Will
Continue Till Other
Yields.

Washington. Feb. 2.-When the Sem
Grafton of the government ship pur-
chase bill, the truce in the historic leg
islative contest over the measure was
declared off and democratic and re-
publican senators alike refreshed after
a recess of "a hours, were ready to con-
tinue the fight anew. The truce began
at midnight Saturday, following a con-
tinuOus session lasting SO hours, and
was terminated when the Senate re-
assembled today.
The democratic leaders have thrown
down the gauntlet to the republican
minority by announcing that the
shipping bill would be continuously
kept before the Senate until May l.
The republicans promptly accepted the
challenge and declare they are ready
to meet any plan of campaign the
democratic leaders may take up.
Both Claim Strength.
The republicans assert that demo
cratic leaders are showing indications
Of weakening. The latter answer this
by declaring that the fight will be
pressed home to the republicans more
vigorously this week thai heretofore
and that the opposition will be forced
to talk continuously until the shipping
bill reaches a vote. They declare that
three or four days Of continuous ses-
sion will force a roll call on the bill and
thereafter the measure will quickly be
brought to final disposition.
I'm line with their plans to defeat
their bill, If possible, the republicans
are preparing for a continuance of their
attacks on the bill. Many republican
senators are prepared to speak on tho
bill for the first time and in addition
those who led the opposition are get
ting ready to talk again. Despite this.
however, the democratic leaders de-
clare that with their parliamentary ad-
vantage at this stage of the contest.
they can soon break the deadlock.
When the Senate met today William
Alden Smith, of Michigan, was ready
to resume the speech he had begun
when a recess was taken last
night.
Democratic and republican senators
alike read with interest the attitude OF
the Washington government regarding
the purchase of ships which would be
provided for under the shipping bill.
The governments position it had be-
come known is that pending passage
Of the bin and It is decided where the
ships are to be bought, 1t will not be-
drawn into diplomatic discussion with
foreign governments over the question
of it's right to purchase belligerent YES
sells Under the bill President Wilson
would be authorized to purchase the
ships and officials it is said, would
view any protest any formal Commu-
nication from n foreign government in
advance of actual purchase as a re-
Election on the integrity OF the presi-
dent.

AGAIN INSIST BAKERS
MUST LABEL BREAD

The city council today in special SEES
siOn authorized Mayor Smith to in
sist upon the bak ers OF the city COM
plying with the local bread ordinance.
providing for the labelling of all lOaves
under Is ounces. This action was taken
following a report by the mayor Of an
Interview he held with William Max
elmer. representing the bakers on Sat
urday.
Mr.. MaXeiner. according to the mayor
proposed that the bakers be permitted
t. place in all stores of the city large
plaCnrds announcing that bread sold in
those shops weighed less than 16
ounces. This would not work hard
ship on the bakers by compelling them
ditional help, the mayor was told.
When the mayor presented this plan
to the council today, 1t met with little
favor. + o. Wesley denounced the
proposition advanced by Mr.. Maxeiner
and declared the ordinance should be
enforced. Other cOunCilmen followed
with similar declarations.
The mayor read the following inter
view given out by Henry Metz:
I'VE have been operating under tn"
federal law and complying with its
provisions since the law was adopted.
This law states that the labels are not
necessary on the pound loaf, but that
in case the loaf weighs less than one
pound the label must state the weight.
So far as we are concerned, we always
have followed the law"
This is just what our ordinance pro
vides," declared the mayor in COM
mcntinG upon the interview. And II
the bakers have been complying with
the federal law. 1t should not ne u
hardship for them to comply with the
city ordinance"

Force Of Habit.

In a recent conversation the sub
ject Of the force of habit came up
for discussion, and the following story
was told:
Miss Marie was a pretty little tele-
phone girl. One night she went to
church, and, being somewhat tired,
she fell asleep during the rather pro-
tracted sermon. Finally the sermon
was concluded, and after the usual
prayer the minister picked up the
hymnal.
Brethren and sisters" he an
nounced, glancing first at the choir
and then at the congregation, I'VE
shall sing hymn 343. Hymn 343."

preachers last words. I'M call you"
