PAGE ACCUSED BY
ARTHUR N. RICH
AN EX-CLERk I:
Says Senator Page Demanded Part,
of His Pay
"fIFTY-FIFTY" WAS DIVISION
Page Reply Says Rich Is a Liar and
That He Got His Agreed on
Salary.

Rutland, Sept. According to an
affidavit by Arthur NJ Rich printed by
the Rutland Herald Monday Senator
Carroll s. Page got Mr. Rich a job as
clerk of a committee at Washington
and then compelled Rich to give up
hall his salary to the senator,
It was a nfty-ffty deal according
to Rich. He got half the pay for do
ing the work and the senator got the
other half to help out on the high
cost OF living.
Through +. w. Lawrence, attorney
for the Rutland railroad, Senator Page
in this mornings Herald makes a re-
ply claiming that Senator Page had an
allowance of $120 per month to pay
for clerk hire for a committee and
that he hired Rich to do half the work
and that the other hall of the money
went to pay Miss Seymour a steno-
glapher for the committee
The reply to the Rich affidavit
says he is liar and is being used as
a lNOi ny illt lCtAltl luAtIGSlS " lTY
to discredit Senator Page. 1t is
claimed that Rich was so well salts
fed with his job that he asked for it
back again the next year under the
same conditions"
The reply also includes what pur-
ports to be copy of letter to Rich
telling him just what he is to get and
the circumstances under which he is
hired. This letter was signed by w.
w. Bean who is now dead so that his
testimony is not available.
Rich in his affidavit declares that
during the vacation of congress he
was compelled by Senator Page to
sign an order transferring his salary
TO Donald H. Scribner of Hyde Park
whose wife is niece of Senator Page
and that Scribner supposedly got the
money and he got nothing.
Rich also alleges that Scribner was
on the payroll as clerk Of another com
mittee, but lived in Hyde Park and
did not even come to Washington ex-
cept once on visit. Rich further de-
| clares that nine-tenths OF his work
was in connection with Senator Pages
private business and had nothing to
| do with the committee with which he
was supposed to be connected.
To the Rich charges relative to
Scribner and to being employed in the
senator's private business the re.
| ply made no answer except to
claim that it was within his moral
and legal rights to do as he did and
that ii is customary for members of
congress to do the same.

After One More Week of Being Called Liars Crooks Tax Dodgers
DEATH OF CHARLES EVANS
Former National League Pitcher Died
in Schenectady.

Former National League fltcnef Oleu
in Schenectady.
The funeral of Charles Evans, bet
ter known in baseball circles as
"Chick" Evans, was held Monday from
the home of his brother, Harry Evans,
at North Bennington. He died at the
Ellis hospital in Schenectady where
he was taken July 30. For nearly a
week preceding his death he had
been unconscious.
The young man, he was only 26
years old, was the son of Albert Evans
of North Bennington and was born in
the town of Arlington. His boyhood
was passed in the village of North
Bennington. 1t was while he was a
student at Burr and Burton seminary
that he first attracted attention as a
baseball pitcher During the seasons
that he played with the seminary
team the school was practically in
vincible on the diamond
After leaving the seminary he
pitched for a season for the Hoosick
Falls club and then went to Hartford
in what was then the Connecticut
league. He developed rapidly and
had a remarkable season, during
which he pitched no-hit, no-run
game. Feats OF this nature were not
so common in 1910 as in more recent
years and Evans was drafted by the
Boston National club. With Boston
he repeated his no-hit no-run perform
ance in an exhibition game with the
Youngstown, o., team. His arm failed
him during the 1912 season and he
was sent TO the minor league, appear
ing with a number of teams He new
er regained the cleverness that made
him one Of the sensations of the base
ball world. At the end of two poor
seasons in the minors he retired from
the game. He had been employed pre-
cedng his final illness in the muni
tions department of the General Elec
trio company in Schenectady.

HE'LL HOLLOW OUTING
Green Mountain Club Labor Day
Hike

Green Mountain Club Labor Day
Hike
Another enjoyable day for the Green
Mountain Club passed into history
when the last OF the party of q men,
0ers and friends returned to the vii.
lage early Monday evening after an
excursion over Trenor Meadows and
an afternoon sojourn at the club camp
at Hell Hollow. Two auto trucks pro-
vided with seats well filled with the
mixers left the corner of Main and
Valentine streets at $40 and took the
party to the old Woodford City road
just above Woodford Hollow.
About one third continued on to the
camp while the majority went on the
hike up the old road TO the meadows
where a half hour was taken up in en-
joying the beautiful view and cooling
breezes. The return trip was made
through the woods and some of the
hikers were surprised when they came
into the Barber camp clearing instead
OF ,Hell Hollow as was original plan
ned, but the pilot fully realized
from experience that Hell Hollow was
rightly named and that hikers, who
by the way, ranged in az efrom sweet
sixteen to siXty-siX. would have been
far later to lunch than they were ii
the descent into the Hollow had been
attempted As II was. lunches were
the first thought on arriving at the
camp and It was not long before all
were busy engaged in the destruction
OF the contents. Punch and hot eof
fee added greatly to the lunches.
a few returned to the village by au.
to but nearly all walked down, some
going by way of the Long Trail to
burgess clearing and eating supper
at the Y. NJ. c. A. camp.

NEUTRALITY STATUS NEARS END
Backed by VenizeIos Party, Premier is
Able to Swing Country as He
Wills.

London, Sept. 5.-Seizing the oppor-
tunity offered by the presence at
Piraeus within gunshot of Athens, Of
large fleet of the entente nations,
Premier Zaimis has assumed unob-
trusively what amounts virtually to
dictatorial powers. All is now in
readiness for the final act to end the
neutrality of Greece While the peo-
pie of Athens were being mildly
amused at the spectacle OF allied sail
ors and secret police pursuing Ger
man agents about the streets of the
city, a profound change in the status
of affairs was effected quietly. Pre-
mier Zaimis is now in position to
swing the whole country as he wills
unembarrassed by any dissenting pop
ular opinion of hostile parliamentary
contro..
The first step which placed full pow
ers in the hands of Premier Zaimis
was taken when he forbade public
gatherings last Wednesday. The ar
rangement of Friday whereby the is
suance of the decree dissolving the
new adjourned Parliament and calling
new elections was postponed indeh-
nitely, disposed enectually OF any par
liamentary interference with the poll
cy OF the government. Finally the
premier on Saturday requested and
received the unqualified support of the
leaders OF the Venizelos party and OF
tho party opposed TO Neaizelos.
