Washington. May ?t.-The expense
and trouble Of using BAGS In handling
and marketing cotton seed outweigh
any advantage BAGS may give In re-
ducing the loss from careless hand
ling OF this crop. according TO cotton
seed specialists OF the United States
Department OF Agriculture. They
therefore recommend the use OF BAGS
only in special cases. as for planting
seed. less than carload shipments. and
for river transportation. In such
cases the bags protect and facilitate
handling. Careful studies. however
show that in handling cotton seed In
large quantities the first cost OF tho
bags. coupled with the fact that they
deteriorate quickly and have to be
kept In repair. makes them too expcn'
sive.
Shipping In bags involves an extra
cost and labor In filling. emptyins

Bellows Falls Building and Contents
Damaged $500.

Bellows Falls, Feb. 2l.-The FIRE de
partment was called three times between
2:20 and o'clock yesterday morning to
the building ON Westminster street
owl ed by Dennis Scurletis.
The first alarm was for small blaze
in store occupied by Fred G. Cookson,
a tailor, and H. p Sweet, agent for a
sewing machine. Ten minutes after the
department had left the place a still
alarm recalled the apparatus to tile
building. Upon their return the fremen
found a stiff blaze in progress. The fire
completely gutted the tailor shop. The
stock and fixtures in the millinery store
of Miss Mona r. Hennessey were practi-
cslly destroyed by fire and water. The
Olympian pool parlor was gutted and
two pool tables destroyed. Goodell &
Goodell, who conducted a fancywork
store and undertaking rooms, had
small smoke damage
The third alarm was a still one and
was for a fire in partition on the sec
ond floor, which is occupied as lodging
rooms by Greeks. Firemen claim this
fire was caused by an overheated stove.
The dodgers deny this. The building is
one of the oldest in the business section
Of the village The damage from the
three fires amounted to about 81 800.

John Brown of Brighton, Mass, Killed
at Milton, N. H.

| Milton n. H.. Feb. 2l.-While crossing
the Boston and Maine railroad tracks
on his way to dinner from his work at
ice harvesting at Milton Three ponds yes
terday, John Brown of Brighton, Mass,
an employe of the Potter Ice company of
Boston, was struck by an engine running
as an extra from Sanbornville to Ports
mouth repair shop, about so feet south
of the crossing near the Potter ice house,
one mile above Milton village, and in
stantly killed.
On account of a curve, Mr. Brown did
not notice the approaching engine, until
too late, and the engineer did not have
time TO stop it. A blow in the side of
the head caused instant death, and the
victim was thrown 30 feet. The mans
head and side were badly crushed.
Doctors Buckley and Hart of Milton
were hastily summoned, but their serv-
ices were not needed. The remains were
viewed by Medical Referee Walter J.

cident as the cause OF death, and turned
the body over to an undertaken Mr..

The rapid advance of Russian forces
in Turkish Armenia, following the fall OF
Erzerum, is complicating the task of the
Turks in efforts to reform their scat
tered forces. From Ti1is, the Russian
headquarters in the Caucasus, comes the
report to-day that two Turkish army
corps, on the way to reinforce the gar
rison at Erzerum, turned back when they
learned that the fortress had fallen.
Assuming the accuracy OF this report,
the Turks in eastern Armenia lost the
prospect OF important help in extricating
themselves from what appears to be
perilous position.
Unofficial accounts of the Russian
movements record the advance both to
the south and to the north, in the former
direction toward Diarbekr and the Bag
dad railway 80 miles beyond, and in the
latter in an effort to cut off the retreat
of the Turkish forces operating along the
Black sea coast.
The Russian Duma, prorogued Sept.
l6, has been summoned to meet again to-
morrow.
Berlin reports a raid by German naval
aeroplanes which dropped number of

On the floor leased by the furniture
dealers many hundred dollars worth of
fine furniture was practically ruined. On
the fourth floor water seeped through
the ceiling into the Masonic lodge room,
damaged furniture and carpets, and
caused the plaster TO leave The walls. In
the room adjacent, lockers used by the
Knights of ST. Aldemar for their uni.

contents damaged. Working its way

OPPOSE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Montpelier Officials Will Not Bar Delin-
quent Taxpayers on State Issues

Sixty-six names were added TO the
Montpelier checklists Saturday evening
at a meeting of the board of civil au
thority held in the city council chamber
at the Montpelier city hall, the board
putting in busy session which extended
over two hours. Notwithstanding the
decision handed down by the attorney
general Herbert G. Barber, the board,
advised by two lawyers, Harry G. Shurt-
left and State Librarian George Wing,
voted to have two distinct checklists to
be used March 7 on town meetin day,
one to include the names of delinquent
taxpayers and persons who have removed
TO the city from other towns and cities
within the state since the assessment
was made The board determined to
take that action after Messrs. Wing and
Shurtleff had pointed out that delin-
quents and those who have moved in
have constitutional right that of
freeman, to vote upon the statewide
questions, the Perry prohibition bill and
the primary bill.
Only two members of the board were
opposed to the action taken and they
failed to vote when the question was put
by Mayor Boutwell,, who presided. Law
yers in Montpelier seem practically
united in the belief that Attorney Gen
eral BARRIERS Interpretation of the law
makes the statute as drafted unconsti-
tutional.
OF the SO who appeared before the
board nearly half were persons who
have received their naturalization papers
although some have resided in
Montpelier for 10 and even 20 years. |
The next meeting of the board will be
held tomorrow evening, with a second |
session Saturday. Two other meetings.
will be held. the last to be Thursday |
evening, March 2.
