rophe was deep rumbling which
seemed to come from far beneath the
surface. Immediately after ward the
earth began to drop with loud his
sing sound as if water was being
poured on red-hot metal
Officials of the state geologist's
office believe that the power plant
was built on a thin stratum of hard
clay which rested on a limestone
foundation. A small stream known
as Claverack creek ran through the
cement company's grounds, and it is
believed the water OF this creek seep-
ed through the limestone and gradual
ly turned it into quicksand Some
years ago an orchard which stood on
the site of the power house disappear
ed in one night
The building which vanished yester
day morning consisted of large pow
or house, an S0-foot smokestack, an
elevator conveyer with another
smokestack, concrete storehouse
and a large frame barn which held
three horses and an automobile, all
of which were buried. A huge guam
tity of material, including 10000 tons
of trap rock, was also engulfed.

BLAMEs OTHER DRIVER
|. Nj. Loomls Says Maxwell Car Had
Only one-Third OF Road

Editor of The Banner: According
to The report in yesterdays Banner
OF the automobile accident near the
car barn ut North Bennington Satur-
day evening. in which a Maxwell car
driven by CLARK I-oomis and Ford
car driven by Asa Niles collided, there
was evidently some misunderstand-
Ing for the blame evidently seemed
to be placed on both drivers
The facts in the. case are as follows:
According TO actual measurements at
this point in the highway the dist
ance between the curb is "a feet, and
at the time of the collision, according
to the tracks in the road, the left
hand wheel of the Maxwell driven
by Loomis was within feet OF the
curb on his side of the road. Thus
1t can be seen that the Maxwell was
occupying only about one third of the
highway leaving two thirds for the
Ford car to pass.
The blame for such an accident
should be placed where it belongs,
and according TO the foregoing facts
it can easily be seen that the blame
is with Niles, the driver Of the Ford
car.

beyond Chelm in Southeast Poland,
the situation before Warsaw proper
remains unchanged and obscure.

the abandonment of the city, but ap-
parently the time has not arrived for
the Russians to reiinqulslI their in

| Warsaw, July 81. (via Petrograd,
Aug. 2)-'The intimation that the

MIGRATORY BIRDS

Most, If not all, of the migratory
birds have some south for comfort
and people are beginning to follow
them The genial Florida peninsula
opens to the north, while Michigan
in the summer opens invitingly to
the south.
But the birds have gone. 1t does
not cost them two cents a mile
sleeping berths and food extra to
travel but heretofore they have had
to take great risks from shotguns.
OF the forty states which have en-
acted laws to protect migratory
birds, nine, in their game legisla-
tlon, have made special efforts to
harmonic the state bird laws with
federal regulations pertaining to
safeguarding the feathered kind.
1t could be wished that the ncces-
sity of making the state statutes for
bird protection coincide, so far as
possible, with each other and those
OF the United States. had been suf-
tciently convincing to legislatures,
to cause larger number of states to
recognize its Importance.
Nevertheless, nine states is a fair
beginning. 1t suggests there is
higher deeres Of aiertness on the
Uniformity topic, among state legis-
ative bodies, than has usually been
supposed.
And it is certainly matter for
that forty states out
If the forty-eight have not let the
legislation season of the year go by
without doing something for the
afety of the bird kingdom.
