Appointments in This Vicinity An
nounced at Closing Session at
Saratoga Yesterday

Saratoga Springs, April 17.-Ninety-
four churches get new pastors ac-
cording to the list of appointments

Troy Methodist Episcopal conference
hero today.
When the conference was called to
order by Bishop Henderson this morn
ing a resolution was introduced by the
Rev John Lowe Fort to make the
minimum salary in any church of the
conference $500. Many pay as little

ministers and their families. A reso-
luton by the Rev. W. w. Foster Jr.,
was adopted urging the union of all
Methodist bodies in the United States.
Following is the list of appoint.

ROAD MONEY COMING
State Commissioner Will Match That
Raised by Subscription.

State Highway Commissioner S. b.
Bates has notified County Supervisor,
James l.. Davis that Bennington can
have the state money needed for the
west road to meet the amount raised
by subscription. This amount is
$500.
This money from the state is on
condition that the road is completed
from the state line to connect with the
road now built and also that Benning-
ton resurface the road from Benning-
ton village to the Woodford line and
that the main road beyond the new
section on Harwood hill be improved.
All the work must be done TO the sat
istaction of the state and county com
missioners.
This arrangement will enable the
use OF the regular town and state
money on the Woodford road and on
Harwood hill and will ensure the COM
pletion of the west road to the state
limit. Taken as whole it should
mean d greater advance in road build
ing in Bennington than in any previous
year

Bradford, r. l., April IA score Of
persons are reported crushed or burn.
ed to death in a collision of trains on
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad here tonight at 7.3O
O'Clock.
The dead were in the rear car of a
four coach local train bound from
Boston to New London, which had
stopped at the local station when it
was run down by the Gilt Edge EX-
press, bound from Boston for New
York This coach was telescoped.
Great confusion followed the coils
ion and it was long before definite
knowledge of the extent of the disas
ter could be obtained. AS the flames
of the burning cars and buildings died
out, the train yard was left in dark
ness and those who went to the assist
ance OF the injured worked under
great difficulties.
The only telegraph lines in the town
went out of commission with the burn
ing of the station and the only com
munication with the outside was by a
single telephone wire. Over this helr
was summoned from Providence and
New London, the former sending a
wrecking train and physicians and the
latter city dispatching hospital
train.
Estimates of the dead varied widely
and in the absence of positive Off
cial statement the number could not
be determined at midnight. At that
hour the ruins of the burned cars were
still so hot tn hey could not be
thoroughly searched. Four bodies
were early removed and count OF
those who received emergency medi
cal treatment showed that thirty-fve
who escaped were injured. Several ol
these would die, it was thought
New York, April 17.-From one tC
three persons were killed and twelve
others were injured in the collision al
Broadford, r. l., tonight according t
a statement given out here by Gener
al Manager c. l.. Bardo, OF the New
Haven railroad.
Vice President Whaley of the New
Haven railroad declared shortly be
fore midnight that reports to the ef
feet that thirty or more persons haC
been burned to death in the wreck a
Bradford were without foundation.

added, that not more than three per
sons were killed, if that many"

II Paso. Texas. April 17.-General
Gabriel Gayira, Carranza commander
at Juarez, announced tonight that the
Mexican telegraph wires between
Juarez and chihuahua had been blown
down near Pearson about noon, and
that Tor this reason he was unable TO
get any further details OF the reported
discovery of the body of Francisco
Villa
\ telegram filed at Chihuahua City,
presumably before the interruption to
the wire service, was received by The
Associated Press from Consul Letcher
saying that nothing was known in the
State capital regarding the finding Of
the bandits body.
These two circumstances combined
to reinforce the growing skepticism
here as to the truth of the story that
death had ended the career of the fu-
gitive brigand. The story that the
man who is really dead is Pablo Lo.
peg. the notorious butcher of Santa
Ysabel, and that Villa has used Lo-
pez's death as the basis OF false re-
port OF his own demise, was revived.
This story was retold today by an
American owner of large ranch in
the Guerrero district who said he had
received 1t from his ranch foreman
and believed it to be true.
Charles Hickerson, an American
who owns mining properties in the
Guerrero district, arrived at the bor.
der today and declared that he had
seen Villa two weeks ago in a ranch
| house near Cusihurachic and that the
bandits leg was badly swollen at that
time and he was suffering much from
| it. Mr.. Hickerson said the bullet had
entered the knee and that a native doc
tor whom Villa had forced to accom-
pany his band, declared the wounC
had become infected from a particle
| of soiled cloth of Villas trousers, Tho
doctor asserted the infection haC
spread throughout Villas body ant
was causing high fever, The mining
man also declared that the country
around Satevo and Parral was infected
with Villistas and other bandits an(
that the region was not safe for eth
er Americans or native MeXicans.
