New York, July 7.-Infantile pa
ralysis made greater headway in the
city yesterday than on any day since
the beginning of the outbreak. One
hundred and thirty-three new cases and
twenty-four deaths were reported. The
number of new cases was record for
any twenty.four hours since the begin
ming of the outbreak.
Coincident with the announcement OF
the accelerated spread of the disease
Health Commissioner Haven Emerson
said that William G. McAdoo, secretary
of the treasury had offered to the city
the services of the United States Public
Health Service and that the offer had
been accepted.
We've gone the limit in our efforts
to prevent and control the disease DR.
Emerson said, 'and we shall continue
, to 90 the limit, but have no confidence
that it is under control. My experience
with other epidemics of infantile paral
ysis causes me to believe that the pres
ent one will continue through the ho'
weather.

Mutiated Body of Hotel Employe
Carried Ashore by Life Guards
At Spring Lake.

Spring Lake, N. July 6.-Hun-
dreds of men and women and many
children were on the beach this after
noon when swimmer, far out beyond
the outer life lines, raised a cry for
help. George White and Chris Ander-
son, life guards, who had been watch
ing the swimmer closely because of his
distance from shore, launched life
boat and started for him while the
crowd on the beach watched in SUI
spense and fear.
AS the life guards drew near him the
water about the man was suddenly
tinged with red and he shrieked loudly.
A woman on shore cried that the man
in the red canoe had upset, but others
realized it was blood that colored the
water and women tainted at the sight.
AS the life guards reached for the
swimmer he cried out that shark had
bitten him and then tainted.
They dragged him into the boat and
discovered that his left leg had been
bitten off above the knee and the right
leg just below the knee. The shark
also had knipped his side. for there
were marks OF teeth beneath the arm
Women fled when the man was placed
on the beach, but the life guards and
other men tried to bandage his wounds
while doctor was called. Before one
arrived however the man was dead. He
was recognized as Charles Bruder, a
bell boy in a local hotel, who had the
reputation of being a strong swimmer
who often went out beyond the life
lines
The news that the man had been
killed by a shark spread rapidly
through the resort, and many persons
were so overcome by the horror oil
Bruder's death that they had to be as
sisted to their rooms. Swimmers hur
ried out of the water and couldn't be
induced to return.

S1250 STATE TAX
FROM ESTATE OF
HETTY green
Will Bequeaths Vast Properties to
Son and Daughter
new YORK STATE INTERESTED
II Estate Is Subject to inheritance Tax
It Will Amount to $4,000, 900, the
Largest on Record. =

Bellows Falls, July Ca tax Of $3.50
is the extent of the fee which Vermont
may expect from the estate of millions
disposed of in the will of Mrs. Hetty
Green, long known as Americas
wealthiest woman, in the opinion of
state and local officials who read
the provisions of her will today. The
document gave practically the entire
estate to her son, Col. e. H. r. Green,
and her daughter, Mrs. Matthew Astor
Wilkes. This fact made the bulk of
the inheritance exempt as there is no
tax in this state on property willed
from parents to children. Mrs. Green's
bequests totalling $4,000 to relatives,
however, are subject to g j per cent
tax and from this source the state will
realize $3.50.
Although the will expressly stipu-
lated that no inventory or appraisal Of
the estate should be required it was
said today that the extent to which
Mrs. Green had developed her birth
right might be determined through an
order from the probate judge.
In this connection local officials
pointed out that Mrs. Green had claim
ed this village, which is in the town Of
Rockingham, as her legal residence
during the last quarter century COM
ing here annually for few weeks stay.
Each year the tax listers of Rock
ingham placed valuation Of $4,000
on the homestead and also assessed
a tax on 100000 of personal property.
Her average tax payment has been
about $2500 annually, minus dis
count Of per cent for payment with
| in 80 days Mrs. Green always saved
the allowance.
Albany, y, July 6.--Ofiicials of
the state comptroller's Office began an
informal inquiry today to ascertain
| whether New York state is entitled to
! an inheritance tax on the estate Of Mrs
| Hetty Green. II such tax is collecta
| BILE it will amount to more than $4,000,
| 600, it was estimated. The largest in
| heritance tax, heretofore collected by

on the estate Of John Jacob Astor. The
next largest was s2,350,O00 on the
estate of Anthony N. Brady.

REHEARSALS UNDER WAY
For Production of julius Caesar Next
Month.

Rehearsals are well under way for
the big out-ofdoor production of
Shakespeares Julius Caesar to be
given in Clark's woods on the evenings
of Thursday and Friday, August 3 and
4, and the afternoon of Saturday, Aug
ust .. Wednesdays Boston papers
contain articles and pictures OF the
same play given on the steps of the
Boston public library.
1t is regretted that Boston is ahead
Of Bennington in this one matter. but no
doubt the Hub felt ii had to provide
some entertainment for its people on
the Fourth since the North Bennington
parade was too far away for many of
them TO take in.
II is said that Boston had some not
ed actors who took part in their pro-
duction, but in that, certainly Ben
nngton will not be far behind. Watch
for the cast, which will be printed
shortly, and see for yourself.
Ii was suggested TO the cast commit.
tee that it would be difficult to find a
man to take the part of Caesar, most
men having a prejudice against being
murdered. There was no trouble, how
ever, when the man offered the part
found that he had to go through with
the ordeal three times.
One can get used to anything. The
only thing that seems to faze Judge
Holden, our noble Caesar. is learning
to drive four horses harnessed to a
chariot. He fears an untimely end in
the first act, when by rights he should
live until the third. The Judge will be
glad to talk with any safe and sane ex
pert chariot driver who can give him
points on the subject.

CARNIVAL is COMING
Combination of Shows to Be Here a
ASE Full Week.

Sons of Veterans have at different
times in the past held bazaars, picnics
and other events of a similar character
and the members of this organization
through their varied experiences came
to the conclusion that they wanted to
offer their friends something entirely
new for this summer so they have ar
raigned with the La Grou's Exposition
shows to play Bennington the week
of July 18th under their auspices.
This organization is one of the Oldest
established in the far west and the on
ly reason they have left their territory
is the unusual prosperity of this sec
tion of the country.
They offer all the usual attractions
of an organization Of this character,
but their outfit is of a more solid char
acter than any similar show. Included
in their attractions is massive spec
tacular carousel, big ferris wheel, a
motordome where several daring men
ride motorcycles at a speed that would
be pr0hfbitiye on an average race
track, an atheletic show where practi-
cal and strenuous demonstrations of
the modes of defence of different ma
tions is given and a musical show con-
sisting Of first class vaudeville.
All shows are given in comfortable
rain proof payilions and at night with
the thousands of electric lights the
scene is very spectacular.
The Sons OF Veterans have always
given the people the vest best in the
line of clean amusement and in this
attraction they guarantee they will
fully sustain their past reputation.
