ELECTRIC CARS FOR
 CHINESE CAPITAL
Pekin to Have Modern System Of
 Passenger Transportation :.

(Correspondence of The Associated plessD Picking, March 21-Peking is again alive with rumors that the city is to have street railway system. AL though the city has a population Of about one million inhabitants, it has never had any sort of street cars RiclIshaws drawn by coolies afford the chief means of transportation. ldfashioned Chinese and Manchus cling to the clumsy Picking cart, which is heavy two-wheel wooden cart, without springs, drawn by single horse or mule. The cart has an ark-like cover, under which pas sengers sit in a crouching position. The driver sits on a small extension in front of this cove with his legs dangling at the horses heels.
 Roads Arc Bad.
 Roads about Peking are so bad and many of the streets are so nar- row that automobiles are little used. and even carriages are not as satis- factory as rickshaws which can worm their way into the narrowcst alleys.
 An American company is nov re- ported to have made overtures for the street car franchise. Several months ago. an English and French combination was bidding for the street car privilege in Picking, and at one time it was reported to have er- tered into a contract with the gov ernment. The minister of the inter ior Gnu Chi-chien, who is acting di- rector of the Picking municipality, has called a general meeting of off, cials for a discussion of the propos- ed street car lines. The Chinese are eager for an improved transportation system.
 Peking has two railway stations which are on the opposite sides of the city, distance of more than four miles apart. This trip requires nearly an hour in a rickshaw. Tn the days when time was of. little value to the Chinese, suggestions concerning cleo tric street railways were ignored. But now time has come to be more of a factor in Chinese life and there seems to be little opposition to electric cars.
 Points of Interest.
 The summer palace, which is prob ably the greatest show place in the vicinity of Picking, is about twelve miles from the legation quarter, and in the vicinity of Tsing Hua college, which is sustained by the Boxers in demnity funds remitted by the Amer ican governme These two points of interest are much sought by tourists, and will probably be connected up by electricity when the city gets a street car system. The Ming tombs the Nan kon Parson, the Great Wall and scores of other points of interest less than one hundred miles from Picking, afford great opportunity for an electric interurban system. Tien-tsin the seaport for Picking, is only eighty miles away.

FIFTY WOMEN WIN
 FRENCH WAR GROSS
Daring Girl Honored for DiSCoV-
 ering German Battery

Correspondence of Associated Press'
 Paris, April 11-About 50 women altogether have been decorated with the War Cross, including Madame Carrel, wife of Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute. The honor nicknamed Madame "Daredevil,' af- ter her death. She like the four Vatel sisters of Vertus in the Marne, earn ed the honor of feeding French and English soldiers, at risk of her life.
 These were all absent from the Trocadero War Cross Fete, but many others were there, including Made moisclle NTarcellc Semmer, a girl of 20 who rendered great service when the Germans came down the Valley of the Sommc Through her daring scouting, the French located a Ger man battery and destroyed It. She provisioned an advance post beyond the first line of trenches over open ground exposed to the enenly'S fire. She was wounded there September 30, 1914 She kept alive 125 old men, women and children of the neiGhbor- hood of Eclusieu who had taken re- fuge in cellars. She furnished CIVIL ian costumes to French soldiers sur rounded by the Germans, and enabled them to escape. In the absence of the lockkeeper, she opened the flood gates of the canal and considerably retarded the advance of the invading forces.
 Three times the Germans caught her almost in the act of hostility, hat she slipped through their hands. F1n- ally she was ordered to be shot. "All right" she said, looking the German officer straight in the eyes without ask and that is that I be shot with French r1es-not German" The French artillery inturrupted the eE ecution, and General Baret a few days later decorated Mademoiselle Semmer with the Cross of the Le- zion of Honor before the troops.
 Louis Dussait of Hainaut, Belgium, members of the Red Cross Commit tee of Ypres, joined a field hospital at the beginning, was cited by both the English and Belgian armies for her heroism during the Lombard ment of Ypres, and finally decorated Dy the French with the War Cross at Calais in the presence of the gar riSOn.
 One nurse among those at tic Trocadero wore the Moroccan medal beside the war cross ana several wore the Cross of the Legion ol Honor.

THREE ARE BURNED
TO DEATH IN FIRE
At EAGLE BRIDGE
Hotel There Destroyed at Midnight
Last Night
MANY OTHER NARROW ESCAPES
Old Wooden Building Burned So Rap
idly That Guests Up Stairs
Were Cut OFF.

Timothy Burns, veteran employe
of the Boston and Maine railroad in
Eagle Bridge; John Johnson, Cam
bridge constable, and Frederick Shep-
ard, an employe of the Eagle Bridge
hotel burned to death in fire which
destroyed that hostelry shortly after
II o'clock last night, Nine other
guests just barely managed to reach
the street in safety but the three vic
tins are believed to have been trap
ped in their rooms on the third floor of
the structure. How the blaze started
or in fact what part OF the building it
originated in, seems to be mystery
Residents of the village state that
when it was first discovered the build
ing was mass of flames. Rumors
were afoat that others had been suf-
focated or burned, but ultimately it
was found that all except Burns, Shep
ard and Johnson had escaped.
William Holsapple. the proprietor
of the hotel. which is located between
two branches OF the Boston and Maine
road, was awakened by smoke which
apparently originated in the rear of
the building An effort was made at
| once to arouse all of the guests, but
before the rooms occupied by the
three victims could be reached the
| flames drove every one from the
building. No sign Of the men was
seen by the people attracted to the
scene of the blaze, and IL is thought
that they did not awaken until it was
too late for them to grope their way
down the halls.
Residents OF Eagle Bridge, ham,
pered by the fact that there is no fire
fighting apparatus there, struggled to
keep the flames from communication
with nearby buildings, and bucket
brigade worked until an early hour
| this morning Efforts were made to
place ladders against the structure in
hope that some of the men could be
| located, but the flames kept every one
at safe distance. Finally the men
were forced to direct their attention
to the buildings located nearby. and
it was only after hard fight that the
/ flames were confined to the hotel,
which was destroyed.
Outside of the loss of life the prop
| erty damage will amount to thousands
of dollars, as not an article of furni-
ture could be saved, and those who
escaped from the building we're forced
| TO do so without even securing any
Of their wearing apparel or other per-
sonal property. Neighbors took the
guests into their homes and did what
they could for them.

TIME TO CUT FROSTED CORN
Any Delay Will Result in Great Loss
OF Palatable Parts Of the Plant

Fields of frosted corn still standing
have been noticed recently by the
agricultural adviser. Such fields
should be cut as soon as possible.
The effect of the frost is freezing the
cells OF the plant tissues, causes the
breaking OF the individual cells and
the evaporation of water that should
be left. The delay in cutting these
fields will result in a great loss Of
the palatable parts of the plant, and
the leaves will become so brittle that
when handled large percentage will
be lost by breaking and falling to the
ground. Should this corn be utilized
for silage purposes, it should be cut
Immediately and put into the silo as
soon as possible. II may require an
additional amount of moisture added
from the well. This is to prevent fer.
mentation by allowing the corn to
settle and so eliminate large amount
of air which il left would enable un.
desirable bacteria and fungi to de-
velop rapidly.

the immediate vicinity. May 80, 1910,
Henry C. Knapp of this village was al
most instantly killed at the crossing

SALISBURY road, was held up by a

few years ago and shot through the
abdomen At the time the wound was
believed to be fatal but Tinkham lived
though he never fully recovered.
There have been but few capital
crimes committed in Bennington dur

sensational was the killing Of Marcus

Rogers was later executed at the
state prison at Windsor April 30,
