IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY
Reports at Annual Meeting Showed a
Prosperous Condition.

The thirtieth annual meeting of the
Village Improvement society was held
at the home of the president, Miss Jen
ME A. Valentine. Saturday afternoon
at 4 o'clock Reports of the year
showed that the village cemetery had
been kept in good condition; some un-
slightly places in the village renoyat-
ed; and the condition of some of the
streets improved through the efforts
of the society.
The fence, which it was proposed to
build last year on the Morgan road
side of the cemetery, will be put in
at once. The old stone wall, which
it was hoped the town would replace,
was reported in bad condition and that
it was rapidly underming the lots Dor.
dering it. The society has not suffi.
cient funds for this undertaking and
feel that, if it puts in the fence, the
town should do the wall.
Two entertainments were given dur
ing the year to raise money for the
fence and also if possible to plant
trees in the vacant lot near the rail
road station.
The first of these, tea at the home
of Mrs George F. Graves in August
was not only a financial success, but
delightful social event. In Noyem
Der Miss Valentine opened her home
for Shakesperian reading by Mr.
Woollett, an English reader, whose
rendition was greatly enjoyed by the
lovers of Shakespeare present.
The election of officers resulted a:
follows. President, Mrs. f. W. Brad
ford: treasurer, Mrs. w. ]. Meagher
secretary, Miss Helena l.. Norton; tru'
tees. Mrs. John S. Holden, Mrs. j. NJ
| Ayres; auditors, Mrs. W. B. Walker

The following committees were ap
pointed Village committee. Mrs

The society rendered an unanimou
vote of thanks to the retiring presi
dent, Miss Valentine, who declined
reelection and who has served the sc
ciety in this capacity for the pas
twelve years with great efficiency.

during the year making total men

DENIES LACK OF WARNING
Austra's Official Version of the Tor
pedoing of the lmperator.

i Washington, May THE Aus
trian Government, through American
Ambassador Penfield at Vienna, has
furnished the United States, with its
version of the attack by one of it's sub
marines upon the Russian bark I'm.
perator, from which two Americans,
one of them wounded, were rescued.
Austria denies that the vessel was
fired upon without warning, as was
stated in an official report regarding
the attack made to the State Depart
ment by the American Consul at Bar
celona, Spain. According to her YER
sion the submarine fired two warning
shots at the lmperator, which failed
to lfeave to. A third shot, it is de-
clared, went through the rigging. Then
the members of the barks crew put
away in boat and approached the
submarine. A wounded man who was
found to be in the boat was taken
aboard the submarine and received
medical treatment. Later, the sub
marine took the boat in tow and aban-
doned it only when near steamer.
1t was authoriatively stated tonight
that the United States would proceed
to establish the facts in the case, with
view of taking further action should
II be warranted.
The United States still has pending
with Austria negotiations over the
case of the American tank ship Petro-
lite. A second note on this case is to
be dispatched to Vienna shortly.

CUTS HIS THROAT
Harry 6rousseau, "a, Sewers JuguIar
Vein, Then Walks from House.

y 1lebury, May 5.-Harry Brous-
see So, gest son Of George Brous-
seau, g Throat with razor at his
fathers hc ill street about four
o'clock this Ii. nd died from
loss of blood aboo O'Clock at the
home of DR.. S. S. Eduy, where he had
been taken. The young man, who was
about "a years of age, seemed to have
become insane during the day and his
father was watching him. After cut
ing his throat he left the house and
started onto Main street, which is near
by, and leaned upon the parapet of
the stone bridge crossing Otter
creek His father followed and his
brother, Lewis, who was boarding at
the Logan house nearby, was awaken
ed and together they succeeded in
getting him to Dr. Eddys Office. Doc
tors Walter j. White and Edward H..
Martin were summoned to assist DR..
Eddy, but so much blood had been lost
that they were unable to take any
measures to save his life, the jugular
vein having been partially severed.
Young Brousseau was of such a
cheerful disposition that he had for
years been called Happy" by his
friends. No reason except temporary
alteration of the mind can be assigned
for his act. The deceased, young as
he was, had been a great traveller and
aside from several trips to different
parts of the Far West and eastern
States had few years ago made a
l trip in charge of livestock to South
Africa. Recently he had returned

Just as Anybody Taken Pretty That
RUTLAND WON ts TO 10
High School Baseball Team Defeated
at Morgan Park Saturday Afternoon

Bennington high school lost a base
ball game at Morgan park Saturday
afternoon to Rutland high school by a
score of Is to 10. The game was
characterized by more clean hitting
than is usually seen in preparatory
school contests, and the errors, except
those perpetrated by the Bennington
students in the seventh inning, were
not particularly costly. Each team
secured IS hits but Rutland led in the
total number of bases.
Neither of the pitchers appeared to
have much speed but their control was
good and bases on balls were few.
The Bennington infleld was Outclassed
both in accuracy and speed but the
team made good showing considering
the fact that the majority of the play
ers have had only one seasons eX-
perience and some are taking part in
their first season.
Rutland led after the first inning.
but there was an interesting period IN
the sixth when Bennington tailed
three times and came within one Of
evening the score. In the seventh,
however, Rutland landed on Parsons
for five singles and double and ran
away with the game. The score:
