Local Option in Vermont

RUTLAND, Vt, March 7.-Local op- tion won over prohibition in this state today by margin of 13,164 votes. The prohibition amendment was first placed on the statute books in 1852 and was repealed in 1903 by a majority of 729 The vote today on the question of re- enacting the amendment was: Yes, 1S,503; No, 3l,667. Every county in the state with the exception of Or leans gave a majority in favor of local option.
 The proposed amendment had been passed by the last legislature and sub mitted to the people in referendum The result of the vote was a surprise not only to the prohibitory campaign committee and the anti saloon league, but also to the local option leaders who said they had not looked for so decisive victory
 The state voted for direct primary elections by majority of 3,700 The system will go into effect for the se- lection of delegates to the national conventions this spring.
 Twenty three cities and towns voted for license this year as against twenty last year. Seven places changed from dry to wet.

ASKS CONGRESS- T0 PROBE EIGHT
 HOUR DEMANDS
| Republican A. p. Leased Wire7


 NEW YORK, March 7.-Daniel Will lard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company, in a statement made public today, urged an immediate congressional investigation of the situ- ation created by the demands of the four railroad brotherhoods for an eight hour wage day and time and a half for overtime, provided the brotherhoods refuse to arbitrate.
 MT. Willard, who has acted as spokesman for the eastern railroads in many cases of public importance, said:
 If such cases of management of in dividual roads as the New Haven, Rock Island, St. Louis and San Francisco and others, involving the interests of limited sections of the public and of comparatively small bodies of stock holders were worthy of attention of congress- why should not a matter in volving the transportation service ren- dered the whole public of the United States and the interests of all holders of railroad securities be considered quite as well worth the attention of the same tribunal?
 Undoubtedly the public is interested in the right of train crews to fair, even good, rates of pay, and suitable work ing conditions. If it should develop on investigation that these men are not well paid considering the nature and circumstances of their service. they should have their wages increased"

Comparative Calm About Verdun.

Comparative Calm About Verdun. | METZ, March 6 (via Berlin. March 1 S)-A period of comparative calm still l continues in the operations around l Nerdun The Germans are devoting l their energies to consolidating and
 strengthening the positions won by ] them last week within the fortress | lines.
 1 The French, after a series of desper ! ate attempts to regain the village of 1 Douaumont. apparently have paused i for the moment to take breath and gather strength before renewing their
 effort to crush back the German wedge
 which has been biting it's way into the i vitals of the proud fortress.
 The viewing point of the battle from 1 which the Associated Press cores pendent has just returned is the ] Chaumes forest. which offers the near
 est possible sheltered point of obser-
 vation to the village and fort Douau-
 mont The fort itself was barely two and one-half miles distant from the correspondents position and the vil- 1 lage only a short two miles away. Closer inspection would have been inn | possible unless the trip was made by

an advance post and not strongly held was apparently the first step
 in a serious effort to storm the long line extending from the Mouse to the Forges brook.
 The fire from the highest points along this crest, the Mort Iomme and Cote De Oie hills, took the Ger mans in the rear when they were at tacking DOuaumont by way of Nach = granville and was partly responsible for their failure of Sunday. while the violent and persistent bombardment of the German artillery had little ef- feet on the fire of the French bat teries along the crest.
 The desire of the Germans to re- duce d natural salient formed by the Mouse north of Verdun was antici pated by the French who are fully prepared for it's defense with every confidence that the German attempt would only result in heavy losses for the attacking forces.
 The German infantry attacks have been greatly increased to the north west of Verdun between Bethincourt and the Mouse.
 The Germans have made a gain in that important section, getting foot hold in the Corbeaux wood. which lies to the southwest of the Cote De l. Oie. The official statement issued by the war office tonight makes this admission, but declares all other at tacks in that neighborhood were re- pulsed.
 The immediate object of the Ger man attacks northwest of Verdun resulting in the occupation of the French advanced post at the village of Forges, appears to be to take the i railway between Verdun and Chalons 1 Forges had 4S0 inhabitants, who lived | in a street of the same name which runs to the Mouse. The houses at Douaumont were strung along each side of the street that winds through the woods of Forges, where the Ger mans have been for some days. From the Cote De L'Oie to the Chalons-Verdun railway there is eight miles of the railway, reported easy to defend. One great difficulty

 SaIandra Replies to Socialists


 Saandra Replies to Socialists
 ROME March ' (via Paris, March S). Premier Salandra, replying today in the chamber of deputies to the demand by socialist groups for an investigation into the conduct of the war, said that he had the right with the consent of the king, to prorogue or dissolve the chamber if necessary to circumvent obstructive tactics on the part of the members. The energetic attitude which the premier displayed aroused some re- sentiment among the extreme groups. but he allayed opposition by announc- ing his desire to hasten the discussion of the country's economic problems. even those connected directly with the war and thus to afford all parties an opportunity to judge and if necessary to criticise the work of the administra tion. The chamber upheld the ministry by a vote of 281 against 25.

scene just then and was told OF the
Predicament. I will 80 buy one he
is said to have replied. Whereupon
he disappeared for a few minutes and
then returned driving big six cylin-
der Franklin purchased during the
interim.
The visit by the local Pythians last
evening was one of a series of jaunts
to neighboring towns being made this
year in lieu of holding a district con-

Sinnott Induces Committee
to Increase the Amount to be
CiUen Oregon School Fund

Through the efforts of Congress
man S.nnott the house public lands
committee was induced yesterday to
raise the percentage Of land grant
money to go to the school fund from
10 per cent to 20 per cent. the am
cunt going to western Oregon coun-
ties for road purposes being reduced
from 40 to 80 per cent.
The following report from Wash
lngton tells OF the action in the house
committee yesterday.
The house public lands committee
in executive session this afternoon
fixed the proportions Of the proceeds
of the Oregon and California grant
lands at 20 per cent to the state for
schools, 80 for land grant counties
for roads 40 for the general recla-
nation fund and 10 for the federal
government.
This division was made after Con-
gresham Sinnott of Oregon, made re-
peated efforts to enlarge benefits fof
the state
Amendments Voted Down.
The committee first voted down an
amendment giving 4O-40 to state and
counties; then 1880 then 25-25.
Mr.. Sinnott then offered an amend
ment requiring the reclamation share
to be used on Oregon projects.
This was defeated, and like fate
met an amendment requiring that
half the reclamation share be spent
in the state.
OregOn's Claims Set Forth.
Mr.. Sinnott spoke for an hour, set
ting forth the claims of Oregon schools
to large share of the funds. He de-
clared the state had suffered incalcu-
liable damage, that the government
long ago decided this land for the
benefit of the people Of Oregon and
should not take away benefits merely
because the railroad has defeated the
original terms.
Mr.. Macarthur also secured a hear
ing before final action and spoke for
a larger school fund, backing up MIR,
Snnott's position.
Half OF Proceeds to State.
The committee was strongly set on
allowing no more than half the pro.
ceeds to Oregon and insisted on a 20
30 division over oregon's protest.
Mr.. Lenroot declared that the coun-
ties are entitled to the greatest share
because they are directly affected by
the delayd settlement.
Mr.. sinnott trid unsuccessfully to
increase the timber allowance on
land classed as agricultural from $780,.
600 feet to 100000 on each forty acre
tract.
The full committee made no chang
es OF importance in the sub-commit-
tees draft. aside from the division OF
the proceeds to the state and striking
out all reference to executory con-
tracts.

Ruling in behalf OF E. W. McCom-
as and the switzler interests as
against the Northern Pacific Com
pany. Circuit Judge C. w Phelps
this morning decided that title to the
$50 acres embracing the main part
Of Switzlers island in the Columbia
river belongs to the local people on
the ground Of adverse possession.
The case is one of much interest
in view Of the long legal fight for
title to the island. The property in
volved in the suit just decided is worth
about $50 per acre and the land is
being farmed by John Switzler who
had previously sold the land TO E. w.
McComas, guaranteeing title.
The land was originally purchased
by switzler from the state as swamp
land. However the state did not fol-
low up the transaction and securing

not be proven on that score. In the
