The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-11-14

ret out the occurrences and in a few in
stances men were brought to trial anC
convicted of plotting against American
industries. At the same time the con
Germs engaged in making munitions and
other articles particularly salable to the
belligerents mapped out plans for the
better protection of their factories and
mills The result of this double effort
has been that for six months or more
there has scarcely been a single explosion
or fire in a plant Of this sort, although
the plants have been working to their
utmost capacity and there has been, one
might reasonably expect, as much chance
for accidental disaster as formerly. The
comparative freedom from fires and ex-
plosions confirms the general opinion that
the early outbreak of occurrences of this
nature was to be ascribed almost without
exception to design on the part of some
person or persons hostile to the nations
which were making the purchases from
those plants and factories. The theory
OF accident in the early disasters is itself
pretty well exploded by this time.

THE PLnTrERs SIRnrFn

Shortly after the outbreak Of the war
and when the bellgerents began to de-
mand munitions American business men
grasped the opportunity thereby present
ed and began to manufacture various ar
ticles needed by those of the beligereuts
who could buy and carry away. As it
happened, the entente allies were the
only ones who bought because they were
the only ones who could carry away the
product Almost Immediately thereafter
there came series of disasters 10 the
plants turning out the munitions and
other articles needed by the entente al
lies. The plants were found TO be on
fire; the buildings We're blown up; and
lesser occurrences cropped up which had
a tendency to cripple the manufacture.
Ia almost every instance the report went
forth that the occurrences, the fires, the
explosions and the lesser disasters. were

her apartments at lis Cherry street
Mrs Grace Chelsea an elderly woman
who recently removed here from Essex
was found dead at 80 o'clock yesterday
! morning by her sister, Mrs. NJ. j. Clark
| of 10 South Champlain street. She lived
lalone.
! The woman when discovered had been
dead fully u hours, according to Health
Officer f. j. Ennis, who, with Chief OF
Police P. j. Russell, was called on the
case.
Death, it is presumed, was due to es-
Gaping gas from gas stove i'll the room
and possibly to heart trouble, with
which Mrs. Chelsea was troubled.
Mrs Clark went TO mass at the cathe-
dral yesterday and afterward called upon
her sister She entered her apartments
and called to her. Receiving no answer,
she visited every room. As she opened
the door to the kitchen strong odor
OF gas escaped and she found Mrs. Chel

The woman had evidently just finished
her evening meal and had turned the
gas stove on forgetting to light it. She
had often complained to the neighbors
that she was not accustomed to the gas
stove and didn't know how to run it.
Mrs. Clark called TO Mrs. John Stone
and Mrs Rola Laore, who live in the
other parts of the house, and they sum-
moned the authorities.
Mrs. Chelsea was born at Alburg Cen
ter about GA years ago and most of her
life was spent there, at Bridgeport,
Conn, and in Essex. Her husband died
about seven years ago. She is survived
by her sister, Mrs. Clark, another sister,
Mrs. NJ j Early of Isle La Motto, two
nieces, Misses Grace and Katherine Early

Early.
In her early life. Mrs. Chelsea was a
dressmaker. Hhe husband was a veteran
