VERMONT REJECTS
TOTAL PROHIBITION
Local Option Wins In Every
County Except One.

Rutland, VI, March Local option
won over prohibition in this state to-
day by a margin Of 1896 votes.
The prohibitory amendment was FIRST
placed on the statute books in 1862,
and was repealed in 1903 by majority
Of 72p. The vote to-day on the ques-
ton Of reenacting the amendment was:
Yes, 1s,503; no, 3l,667; majority, 49,
1914
Every county in the state, with the
exception OF Orleans. gave Il majority
in favor OF local option.
Because Of the narrow margin thir-
teen years ago the advocates OF pro-
hibition were hopeful that the state
would turn against liquor selling. The
result was surprise not only 10 the
prohibitory campaign committee and
the Anti-Saloon League but also TO the
local option leaders. who said they had
not looked for 30 decisive a victory.

Show where he may keep in touch
with the motorst and advise him as
to the requirements as well as the
features of the Aetna policy.
To a Telegraph representative Mr.
Essick said:
Liability insurance is based upon
the horsepower of the engine, the
small horsepower requiring the pay
ment of a lesser premium to get the
same insurance protection that a
stronger car would demand. For in
stance, the rules of the casualty COM
panies concerning automobile liability
insurance provide that for a 16-horse
power car basic charge of $22 per
year shall he made for a liability poll
cy that will protect the car owner up
to the limit of $4,000 for injury done
to, or death suffered by, any one per-
son, and up to the limit of $4,000 for
injury done to, or death suffered, by
more than one person in any one ac-
cident.
But this protection for automo-
bilists is only for injury done to per-
sons. For damage done to the prop
erty of others an additional charge
is made and this insurance is usually
effected by putting an endorsement on
the regular liability policy which says
in effect, that the company extends

VIM. S. Essick Tells of
Auto Liability Insurance

With the general public so well in
formed as TO its rights on the high
ways and byways of the land, and the
congestion existing in many of the
cities of the Eastern States through
which the favorite routes of the auto
mobilists pass, few car owners care
to take the risk which is inherent to
the possession and operation of their
machines, and of the accidents which
may happen and thus there has
sprung up a very large line of in
surance known as automobile liability
insurance, which is written by the
Aetna Accident and Liability Co.

Face or Skin by Using
Stuart's Calcium Waters

one of the greatest blessings a wo-
man can have is to be possessed of
a fine fair skin on face, neck and
arms. A little attention now and
then to the blood condition makes this
possible. Women are great sufferers
from blood disorders and hence their
compilations are marred because of
this fact.

Stuart's Calcium Waters, which are
as pleasant to take as peppermint
give in an exceedingly short time a
complexion that will rival the ideals
of an artist to produce. They act in
such a natural way, by cleaning out
the pores, throwing off all skin dis
colorations and blood impurities, that
they do their work of beauty build
ing almost before you can believe it
possible for them to act at all.
You may obtain a box of these de-
lightful waters from any druggist
anywhere. Price, SO cents.

SOME HOME RUN RECORDS

What was the greatest batting rec ord ever hung up by an individual player in a single game? Most base ball authorities give the credit to Ed DeIehanty and Bobby Lowe, but neith- CT of these major league home run kings quite equa1led the mark set up just twenty-one years ago today, May 12, 1895, by minor leaguer wno answered to the name of Billy Bot tenJs. On the date in question Billy was wearing the uniform of the Buff falo club in the Eastern league. At that period the Eastern was compos- ed of clubs in Buffalo, Providence, Rochester, Toronto, Syracuse. Spring field, Mass. Wilkesbarre and Scran- ton. The Bisons were playing Wilkes barre, and during the course of the pastime Bottenus got four home runs and a double.
 The previous year Bobby Lowe of the Boston Nationals had connected with Pitcher. Chamberlain of the Reds for four home runs and a single. This stands as the major league record, although it was equa1Ied in 1896 by Ed Delehanty of the Phi11ies, whose victim was Pitcher Terry of the Chi cago Nationals. The nearest approach to this record was made by old Dan Brouthers, while with Detroit. Den his getting four home runs in one game.
 Billy Bottenus made another great Eastern league record in 1893, when he was playing with Springfield against Binghanaton. He led off in one inning with a home run, came to bat a second time in the same chap ter and pulled off another homer and in the succeeding inning got an- other drive for the complete circuit. The best batting record for one inn ing in the majors was that of Fred MerkIe of the Giants, just five years ago come tomorrow. In game with the Cardinals, Harmon and Louder milk twirling, Fred made home run and a double in one inning, scoring twice and bringing home five addi- tiona1 runs in one chapter.
 The only modern, swatter to equal the old record of four homers and a single in one game was Jackley, a backstop of the Ironton club of the Ohio State League, in 1913, Nash, of Hamilton, was the twirler whose de- livery was so soft for Jackley.

Losing a Situation.

In the American Magazine is an arti- cle on getting and holding a job by Hugh s. Fullerton; in which he says to men who have been discharged from their positions:
 Don't try to tel me, Some one had it in for me- or. 'The boss didn't like me- or that So-and-so had a pull If you are an office man it cost the firm from $2OO to $25O to sfind out you would not do, and if you are shop worker it cost about $6O. And it will cost the fr1n that much more to try out each person until it finds one that fits and can hold the job. No matter whether it likes you or not, no firm or corpora tion wants to throw away $60 or $25o in time and money.
 .'The firm wanted to hire you and was disappointed becaHse it could not. Every one was pulling for you to make good and was disappointed when you failed. The bosses hoped to find you fit for promotion and were a bit discouraged when they discovered they could not promote you."

PECKlNPAUGH BY
 TIMELY HIT BRINGS VICTORY TO TANKS

New York, May 12-Roger Peck inpaugh bitterly resented pointed insult directed against his batting prowess at the Polo Grounds yester- day, and punching a hit to right field in the ninth inning confounded his traducers and gave the Yankees their first victory of the year over the Chi cago White Sox by score of 2 to 1. It came about in this way. New York went into the last half of the ninth inning with the score tied and Maisel up. He walked to first base, and the fans, taking fresh hope, roared ap- proval.
 Baker then flied out to centre, and the fans groaned when Gedeon pop ped up high foul off third base, which McMulIen gathered in. Maisel in the mean time stole second, and was in a position to score if Waffle Pipp could only drive a safe hit somewhere to the outfeld. Pipp never had the chance. He had made one of the four scattered hits which the puzzling Faber allowed up to that time, and Clarence Rowland, man ager of the White Sox, decided to give him a, base on balls and wait for Peckinpaugh, who looked easier.
 Peck, as said before, felt aggrieved at this slight and went about teach HE E6OW1dQQ duQ dD0T d lesson Ln1L amounted to a rebuke. He picked out a ball to his liking and sent it scuddling on a line to right center. Eddie Collins jumped high in an eff fort to pull it down, but the ball tipped the top of his gloved hand and sped on it's way. Maisel, of course, raced home from second and the fans breathed a sigh of winning satisfac- ton.
 Peckinpaugh did more than reAulee an insult when he s1ashed out that single. He made amends for glarf ing error which gave the White Sox their only run and which threatened for a time to prove damaging. With two outNin the fourth inning he field ed g. slow roller from Jackson's ba. and made snap throw toward first which was as wild as it was hopeless. The ball did not go within 20 feet of the bag and rolled so deep into right field that Eddie Collins, who had walked, scored all the way from first base.
 Nick Cu1Ilop pitched a masterly game for the Yankees. He allowed the White Sox just three hits and one of the three was distinctly of the scratchy order. He mixed a sharp breaking curve with a fast ball that completely mystif1ed the visitors, and further used his head as well as his arm

FUL TON WILLARD BOUT TO BE HELD
 DESPITE ROTEST

New York, May 12.-Despite the ef- forts of sporting writers in all parts of the country who are anxious to keep the sport free from objectionable matches it is evident that the promo ters are bent on staging a Willard Fulton bout. Since Fulton returned to his haunts in the West he has made a great to do over his victory over Al Reich and some of the critics are be- ginning to take him seriously.
 As a matter of fact, Fulton has pro- gressed but little since the attempt to foist him upon the public in a match with Willard at New Orleans last win ter At that time it was suspected that Fulton was the bunk and the match was roasted so badly the pro- moters toook alarm and called it off. Since then Willard has proved himself to be much better fighter than was generally suspected, while Fulton has done nothing to change the original point of view concerning his proW- ess His match with Reich proved nothing and Fulton is just as much a. mystery as ever. Before he met Reich it was announced that the bout would be followed by others with Coffey and Moran. Now it appears that this was merely the usual press agent bunk.

COLLEGE COACHES
 WILL BE ALLOWED TO SIT ON BENCH

Princeaon,, N. J., May 12-From now on in all the championship base ball games among Princeton, Yale and Harvard the professional coach of each team will be allowed to re- main on the bench and direct the play. The advisory baseball com r-littees at a recent meeting in New York came to this decision, which is to go into effect this springg according to the announcement made yesterday. The banishment of the coaches from the bench to the grand stand in all championship games failed to meet the approval Of the authorities. Consequently when the three cap tains met last spring they petitioned their respective athletic committees to have the rule changed, but no re- suits were forthcoming until this ac- tton was taken.
 A communication from a member of the Yale advisory committee states: Lauder will coach the Yale team to play it's own game and to do it's own thinking and not make the players mere puppets run by him. Such practice as having the players, while at bat or elsewhere, constantly looking to the bench for signals and instructions will not be in evidence The Yale coach will act as a. teacher and adviser and will be present on the bench to give the team the benefit of his judgment and experience when point comes up or a. situation arises in a game

POL PERRIT AND
 STROUD IN FORM
 AND GIANTS WIN

f,ittsburgh, May 12.-The New York Plants again defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday, the final tally being B to in their favor. Natures pent- LID forces made no disturbance in the way of earthquakes or lightning when McGraw's men won their third game in succession, but it was something that was utterly unforeseen when they left home burdened with 13 defeats and with only two victories to coun- terba1ance the unlucky figures.
 A high and strong wind gave the helders some trouble, but the Giants made rniscalcuIa ations. Robertson, in right deld, had five good putouts- He made a sensational catch in the sixth inning, using only one hand. The feat certainly had an important bearing on the result of the game
 It. was after Kantlehner, the first batter for the Pirates in that inning. had cracked out a three-bagEer. Bar ney's hit looked like duplication Of in all directions. Robertson followed the gyrations of the ball and finally raised his right hand and lodged it snugIy Kantlehner was unable to score from third on the fly, as Robert son shot the ban back instantly
 Tha pitching of the Giants was strong and careful. PexTitt began the work He was taken out in the sev- enth inning to allow a pinch hitter to hat Only three hxts were made off him Stroud who pitched the last three innings, did not give the Pirates a single hit Two of them got to first base on balls, but to make up for this defect Stroud struck out three men.

Mitchell had come to America the previous year and had defeated many of the best men of his weight, as well as fighting John l.. Sullivan in New York. The Eng lishman knocked John L. down, but lost the decision. The contest be- tween Mitchell and Edwards was stag ed in Madison Square Garden before a big crowd of sports. They fought four rounds under the Marquis of Queensberry rules, and Mitchell won all the way, although Edwards put up a game battle. This was a fine display of clever boxing. It was shortly after this that Mitchell fought -Dominick McCafrey in the Garden and lost the decision, although the referee was never able to find any body to agree with his verdict.

Leadership In a Democracy.

There was a day when the absolute monarch seemed the ideal of human greatness. The names of such are scattered throughout time. But their age has vanished The masses below have surged to the surface-they will not be denied. The age before us is the age of the free and aspiring many. In such an age the strong man is the leader of thought. He wins following by the constraint of 8 powerful mind and a virile character. He appeals to reason and to the higher emotions. He looks far into the future, and his con structtve imagination is a lens through which the people may see clearly things as they are and as they are to be- His qualities must be higher than those of desp0t. The freely followed leader of a free people is greater far than emperor or king.-Harry Pratt Judson, President of the University of Chicago
