BOOST FOR PROPOSED
CROSS-STATE ROAD
AS Result of Vote Today Probably
$4,000 or More Will Be Available
to Be Spent in This Town.

Brattleboro did her part today to-
ward coming across with the where
wlthal for showing that the announced
plan to have an up-to-date automobile
highway between Brattleboro and Ben
nlngton was not pipe dream As result
OF the voting in town meeting there will be
available approximately $1,000 for expen-
diture on that road in this town if other
towns do their part toward carrying out
the project.
Under article I, relative to raising mon
ey IN excess of the amount required by law
to be raised for highways, it was voted to
appropriate 1000 Under the state aid
law the state will match that amount. I'm
der article 13, to see how much the town
would appropriate for highway purposes
under Act No. 13S, Acts of 1912, it was
voted to raise two per cent of the grand
list, which will be about 81 700. Under
the automobile law the town will get about
$3.50. This makes total of $4,45O, and
it is believed that the state highway de
partment, which has given the project full
consideration and promised to aid in any
legitimate way, will be able to increase the
total to $1,000 or more

NEW ORDERS COME
STEADILY AT ESTEY'S
Indicate Favorable Conditions in This
Country-Foreign Shipments Cur
tailed-Advance in Zinc

The Boston News Bureau printed in
its issue of March 6 letters from sew
eral business houses relative to the
business situation. The following was
from the Estey Organ Co. of Brattle
boro:
''Our business is about equally di-
vided in the manufacture of pipe or
gans and reed organs and in normal
times more than so per cent of our
reed organs are exported.
''The countries now at war have
been perhaps our best customers. We
have made no shipments since July,
1914, to France, Germany or Russia.
Our business in England would have
been nearly normal, were shipping ia
cilities anywhere near normal, despite
the fact that England has placed du-
ty of 33 l-3 per cent, not only on the
cost of the goods, but on the abnormal
freight charges as well.
''Our trade with Australia has kept
up remarkably, considering the hard
ship that our customers experience in
the way of increased freight rates.
We have thousands of dollars worth
of goods packed and ready for
shipment to Australia, for which we
are unable to obtain space, even at a
freight rate that equals the cost of the
goods.
! "Onr trade in this country is in a
healthier condition. than might seern
reasonable for mandatory of an ar
ticle that may be called luxury, the
bulk of our business in this country
being for pipe organs for churches and
residences.
! NsOur collections could hardly be
better. New orders are coming II
steadily and indicate favorable condi
tions in almost every part of the coun
try. Number of employees slightly
more than a year ago. Full schedule
which was only shortened to FIVE day,
week during the first six or eight
months of the foreign war.
"The tremendous advance in thu
cost of materials has worked consid
erable hardship on our sales depart
ment, although we find our customer
reasonable to the absolute necessity O.

Administration Wins I'm
pOrtant Victory on Test
This Afternoon
DEBATE FIRST WAS
UPON SPECIAL RULE
MIR. Pou Won Applause When He Call
ed Declaration That President Wants
War Infamous Hot Remarks
by Representative Harrison.

WASHINGTON, March . Prompt
ly at IL O'Clock the house assembled
for the all-day fight of the administra-
tion forces TO kill the McLemore reso-
luton TO warn Americans off armed
ships of the European belligerents.
Speaker Clark was in the chair and
Acting Chairman Pou of the rules com
mittee was in his seat ready TO sub
nit the special rules under which the
debate viii proceed.
As soon as the journal had been read
Dr. Pou offered the privileged resolu-
tion containing the special rule.
Mr.. Pou asked unanimous consent
for 90-minutes debate on the rule.
There was no objection and the debate
began. Mr.. Pou took the floor to open
the fight.
The first outburst of applause from
She floor came at the outset of Mr..
Pou s speech when he said: ''All the
imps of hell never devised a more in
famous lie than the declaration that
has been made that President Wilson
wants war
Representative Campbell of Kansas.
Republican member of the rules com
mittee, announced when Mr.. Pou con-
cluded that if the motion TO close the
debate on the rule Were defeated he
would offer a substitute for the McLe-
more resolution, which would be di-
rect warning to Americans to keep off
armed ships
If this rule is defeated, declared
Representative Harrison, Democrat. of
Mississippi, an administration leader.
''you will not only send joy TO the
hearts of the people in foreign cap
ital, but you stab your own President
in the back
In the first test in the house today on
the armed ship question the administration
forces won, 256 to 16S.
Opportunity for amending the McI.emore
resolution to warn Americans off the
armed ships of the European belligerents
was removed and the house turned to de-
bate on the resolution itself with every in
dication that it would be tabled, as Presi-
dent Wilson desires, as a demonstration TO
foreign nations that dissension against his
foreign policy does not represent the ma
jority of congress.
The question to adopt the special rule
was then, put. Representative Campbell
demanded the yeas and nays and the rule
providing for four hours debate on the
motion to table the McLemore warning
resolution was adopted by 271 to 13S. One
man voted present.
With this action the administration
forces won another victory and placed the
McLemore resolution before the house for
debate and vote without amendment
The administration leaders said there
was no doubt the two previous votes
showed they could table it by a large ma
jority.

More than 40 prisoners were in the

vent the spread of disease.
Sheets of flame flashed through the
entire east wing of the prison and al

ing men enveloped in fire.
Surrounding the bath quarters are
rows of cells and ii was in these that
most of the fatalities occurred. Locked

cape the binding sheets of flame
Those who were rescued were found
insensible and terribly burneds About
50 prisoners were taken out unharm
ed and placed in quarters removed
from the bathhouse under heavy guard
The fire department, quartered in the
same building, quickly extinguished the
FIRE and with the assistance Of five
physicians gave aid to the burned vie
tins.
The coroner : inquest and an inves
tigation by city officials ordered for TO
day had to do principally with state
ments made by the guards and sur
vivors, who declared the explosion was
caused by the lighting of match BY
one of the prisoners.
While the investigation to determine
the cause Of the explosion was in
progress on this side of the boundary
civil and military authorities at Juar
ez, opposite here were searching for al
unidentified Mexican who last night
boarded street car near the Juarez
race track ard shot a motorman after
report was spread that 200 Mexicans
had been thrown into Jail here and
deliberately burned. This report spread
so rapidly and caused so much excite
ment in the Mexican town that heavy
military patrols had to be sent out tC
prevent outbreaks against Americans.
