Mr.. Hulburd is a son of Spunky

duced many able men. Among those
of his own generation Mr.. Hulburd
ranks high and his qualifications for

He has not been a chronic Office

of force and eloquence has been EN-
Moved in the behalf of friends and
of any cause that enlisted his sym

personal ambition. He has been a
high private and his service in the
ranks has been such as to merit pro-
motion.
His statement in which he an
nounces his candidacy is an honest
and straightforward one, displaying
an ambition to serve his state that
is commendable and which the stand
ard hopes he may realize through
the suffrage of his fellow citizens.

man at Irish Protest Meeting.

Chicago, May 21.-"Jim" Larkin
founder of "the Irish citizen army"
today leaped across the orchestra pit
from the Grand Opera House stage and
attacked Matthew Thomas Newman,
sitting in the fifth row. The disturb
ance occurred at mass meeting OF
protest against the execution of Irish
revolutionists. DR.. X. a. Zurawsh of
the Polish Federation was speaking.
When he said, "the English certainly
murdered the Irish in true Russian
style" the majority Of those present
applauded wildly.
When the applause subsided a dap
per young man in the audience began
to speak with broad English accent
IL was Newman.
81 am as good an Irishman as any
here today he said. Il have lived in
Ireland, and my mother Is from long
line of Ireland's best. But such bally
bunk makes me ill., say, why do you
try to put over such ridiculous drivel?'
Lalkin, who was sitting far back on
the stage, arose, and, in a frenzy OF
anger, ran to the footlights. He
jumped clearing the orchestra pit ant
a high brass railing with apparent ease
A woman in the back of the thearC
shrieked. When she started down The
aisle she was recognized as Mrs
Larkin.
'Be careful what you do to him!
she shouted to her infuriated husband
Jim, jim! Think"
Larkin seized Newman by the throa
| and choked him until he gasped TO
breath. Then he jerked him out of hi
seat and shook him until the Offending
one was speechless. After Larkin ha
torn Newman's collar away he dragge
him to the entrance Of the threatre an
tossed him out into the lobby. The
the meeting was resumed,
Newman was undetermined tonigh
whether or not to sue Larkin.

BURLINGTON GRAND LIST
Loss by 100000 Than List of Year
Auo,

Property values in the city of Burl'
ington subject to taxation will be ap.
proximately $1,0O0,OOO less than a year
ago owing to change of the tax law
enacted by the last Legislature for the
exemption of book accounts.
The city assessors have filed an all
stract Of the grand list with the city
clerk, which shows the total valuation
of property appraised for taxation last
year was S19,627, 7,546 Of which S12,5lo,.
291 was real estate, $5,992,4 personal
property and polls (547D $l,O9LSi0.
The gain in the grand list over tho
previous year was S634,107.
The grand list year ago was the
largest in the history of the city.
The tax rate 81 is also the largest
being a raise Of 20 cents over the year
before
The loss of approximately $1,00O,O0(
in property values this year will make
a difference of $4,000 in tax receipts
cutting off this sum from the city'i
revenue.
The assessors say that some firms II
Burlington have decreased their as
sessable property by $4,000 through
the operation of the new law whicl
would decrease their tax by $1,000.

POSITIONS TAKEN

Austrian troops continue to reduce

Arsiero, says dispatch from the Aus
trian press headquarters Monday The
army of the Austrian crown prince is
following up the advantage gained on
Friday, when the first breach was made
in the line to the northwest of the fort,
and which enabled the Austrians to at
tack some of the outer positions east
ward of the place from both the front
and the rear.
Both wings of the crown princes ar
my also have been going steadily
ahead. The right, or west wing, has
been going forward from the northern
slope of the Col Santo ridge. 1t storm
ed Col Santo itself and already is pro
ceeding against Monte Passubio. The
left wing stormed Saso Alto, the COM
manding hill of the Armentara ridge,
thus depriving the Italians of their last
supporting positions on this ridge and
enabling the Austro-Hungarians to ad-
vance into the Sugano valley and take
Roncegno. The guns already captured
include Is 28-centimeter howitzers.
The Austro-Hungarians are battling
against many disadvantages in rough
Alpine territory against strongly forti-
fed positions, but thus far they have
defeated their opponents both in the OPP
en- field and in the assaults on the forti-
fcations. The correspondents declare
that the artillery of the Austro-Hun-
garians has exhibited marked super
iority over that of the Italians.

New York, May 23.--The state to-
day finished the technical evidence to
prove that John Il. Peck was put to
death by his son-in-Iaw, Dr. Arthur
Warren Waite. At adjournment to-
night everything had been made ready
for the day OF sensations scheduled to
begin tomorrow morning
Then the tall, slender, Indifferent
prisoner ON trial for his life will find
confronting him first his wife, Clara
P. Waite; after her, Margaret Weaver
Horton, the other woman; Percy Peck
his brother in law; perhaps his aunt in
law, Miss Catharine Peck, and the
mysterious X. Adams" whose trench
ant telegram to Percy Peck inspired
the investigation which resulted in the
accusation.
The identity of "K Adams" has been
kept close secret by District Attorney
Swami, because the woman has dread
ed the publicity which would follow the
disclosure of her identity, but after
court tonight it was rumored she will
be found to be woman member of the
household of DR.. Jacob A. Cornell of
Someryille, N. j., lifelong friend of
the Peck family, whose suspicious were
aroused on visits to the Waite apart
ments Immediately before and after
Peck's death.
That John e. Peck came to his death
as the result of the heavy doses of
arsenic found in his organs after death
was the unqualified testimony of the
experts who conducted the autopsies
or analyzed the contents of those or
gans The poison was found in large
quantities and there were evidence of
chlorOform in the brain
