AFTER ALL REV. STAFFORD JUST
CANT UNDERSTAND"

Rev. John Paul Stafford, Union av.
Methodist Episcopal church, used his
pulpit last night for defense of Mrs.
Eva H. Thornton, school board mem
Der accused Of conceaing her own
financial interest in real estate she
voted to have the school board buy.
A Day Book reporter got Rev. Stat
ford on the phone today and the talk
ran like this:
Are you correctly quoted in the
morning papers in your defense of
Mrs. Thornton?"
Yes. l believe the attack on her
is throwing of dust into the eyes
of the public"
was it news to you that a school
board member was the owner of
property she voted for the board to
buy?"
Il have not followed the affairs of
the board closely enough so that I
would be informed on details like
that"
Were you aware before your ser
mon last night that Trustee Huehl,
chairman of the sites committee, and
other trustees were entirely in the
dark as to Mrs. Thornton's opera
lions and they are in favor of some
kind of a new system by which it
may be publicly known when a
school trustee is financially interest

board decides on?"
81 accepted the statements Of Pres.
Loeb that the records showed Mrs.
Thornton's activities and Pres.
Loeb's reputation of the charges
against her was proper"
Whatever the records are in this
instance, do you favor complete pub
Hcity for all real estate deals of the
school bOard?"
Il am in favor of letting in the
light on everything public officials
do"
IF you were the owner Of a piece
of property bought by your church,
you would make it a special point to
let all your church members know
that you were the owner Of the prop
erty, wouldn't your"
Naturally. An honest man would
not try to cover up his ownership in
a situation like that.
Then you do not regard the facts
brought out by Aid. Buck as show
ing that a school trustee covered up
her personal financial interest in a
real estate deal?"
q believe Pres. Loeb's statement
that the records show there was no
concealment."
IF the records showed Mrs.
Thornton's interest, why was the
whole deal as brought out in Aid
Bucks report a surprise to Trustee
Huehl and others?"

ITALIANS TAKE A TOWN
Have Fought Their Way to the East Of
Goritzia.

London. Aug. ll.-Both the Italians
and the Russians are keeping up their
strong ofTensives against the Teutonic
allies, respectively. in Austria and Ga
licia--and at last reports both had made
additional important gains.
On the lsonzo front the Italians have
continued to throw their forces across
the river and have fought their way to
the east of the captured city of Goritzia.
In addition southwest Of Goritzia they
have taken strong Austrian entrench-
ments near Monte San Michele and
Monte San Martno and also occupied
the town of Boschini, giving them freer
hand for their operations in the region of
the Doberdo plateau and southwark to-
ward the Monfalcone sector. A large
number of prisoners were taken IN the
fighting.
Vienna in admitting the loss of Gorit
zia says the evacuation followed the re-
pulse of the Italian attacks on the Do
berda plat and that the Strengthening
of the Austrian lines made necessary by
the operation was carried out without
molestation from the Italians. Vienna
also reports that 100 Italians have been
made prisoners in the recent fighting in
this region.
In Galca in the sectors of Stanislau
and Halich the Russians have driven their
forces farther westward in their endeavor
to capture the central portion of the
railroad running from Kolomea to Lem
berg. Passing across the Monasterzyska
Niznioff railway they had forded the Zio-
ia Lipa river, southeast of Halich, and
south of Stanislau have captured the
town of Kryplin on the StanislauNad
worna railroad.
The Berlin official communicated says
that along the front of Archduke Charles
Francis in Galicia, southwest of Welesni-
ow and south of the Dniester, new posi-
tions have been occupied by the Teutonic
allies in accordance with previously ar
ranged plans. Russian attacks along the
Strumen and Stokhod rivers were re-
pulsed with sanguinary losses to the Rus
slams. Another big battle has started
near Brody, in northern Galicia.

was found dead on the bed in her home
by her nine-year.old daughter, under
somewhat peculiar circumstances.
The exact cause of death is not known
although States Attorney Norton OF

his opinion that death was due to alco-
holism, An empty bottle which had con
tanned sweet spirits of nitre was found
near the body and it was said by neigh
bors that the dead woman had been
drinking when last seen.
An autopsy viii be performed by DR..
Stone, the state examiner, and the or
gans sent to the state laboratory at
Burlington, where the contents of the
stomach win be analyzed to see If the
spirits of nitre contained a drug that
would cause death.
The woman's husband is employed as
a section hand on the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad. She leaves a daugh-
ter of nine years and son of about ii
years.

Because of Railroads Re-
fusal to Grant More
Than Arbitration
EMPLOYEES INSIST
ON EIGHT-HOUR DAY
There Is Threatened Rup-
ture of the Efforts to
Secure Peace

New York, Aug. 1.-THE efforts OF the
mediators between the four railroad
Ibrotherhoods and their employers are at
halt, it was reported, because the rail
roads refused to grant any concessions
other than arbitration, while the men
persist in their stand fg the granting
Of their demands for an eight hour day
and time and a half for overtime.
Martin 4. Knapp, one of the federal
mediators, when asked whether there
had been any change in the situation
since the board began its work, replied:
There is deadlock on the face of it..
Whether we can change it lies in the bos-
ON of the future"
Mr.. Knapp said the board had not
been in communication with President
Wilson since it arrived here. When
asked, however. if conditions already
had come to the point where an appeal
would be made to the president" Mr..
Knapp said he could not discuss the mat
ter. He added that the board would CON
tinue its efforts to adjust the differences.
What concessions, If any, the railroad
managers offered to make to The men
could not be ascertained. The mediators
met the managers secretly yesterday
afternoon, remaining in conference, with
them more than three hours. Two guards
were stationed outside the rooms in a
hotel where the meeting was held.
The mediators earlier in the day heard
the side of the brotherhoods, whose chief
demand is for an eight hour working
day and time and half for overtime.
1t was said the brotherhood would re-
main firm in this position.
A. b. Garretson, president of the Or
der OF Railway Conductors and official
spokesman for the men, said that unless
the railroads made satisfactory conces
sions, the men would refuse to bind
to federal mediation, and,
unless something else interviewed the
general strike order would be enforced.
1t was reported that the board, unless
there is an unexpected change soon, was
prepared to suggest to President Wilson !
that he intervene. W. S. Stone of the |
engineers said: "We do not intend to /
wait very long. The temper of the men
IS such that they would not have waited |
4 minute if We had not persuaded them

dered by cries from shore warning he
that she was going beyond her depth

blind girl from the Perkins institut
camp here lost all sense of direction an,
walked into deep water in Pentucke
pond, where she was bathing last evening
with Is other blind members Of the camp
| Her cries brought to her aid Dorothy
Estes, aged %, of Lowell. councillor o
the camp, who, in making heroic efforts
to save the Stenofsky girl, drowned will
her.
The girls. all of whom We're blind ex
cept Miss Estes, had gone to the pond foi
the usual evening dip, and in the first few
minutes of enjoyment it was not noticed
that the Stenofsky girl had become sep
arated from the main party. Observing
her danger, Miss Estes called out to her
and the cries were echoed by the other
girls. The combined warnings frightened
the blind girl and in an effort to respond
quickly to their advice she chose the
wrong direction, stepping into hole Is
feet deep. Miss Estes swan rapidly to
her aid and the other girls. sensing, with
the acute faculty of the blind, that their
companion was in peril, cried out hyster-
ieally.
Their shouts were heard by the only
cottager near, Henry Longfellow, so
years old, who, despite his age, hastened
to the waters edge to help in the rescue.
He also endeavored to reach the drown
ing girl, but was told by Miss Estes to
bring aid from the shore.
When the councillor reached the side of
the Stefnosky girl she attempted to
grasp her, but instead was grasped in the
iron grasp of the drowning. All efforts
to break the grip failed and the two girls
went down together.
Mr.. Longfellow in desperation entered
the water himself, but before he could
reach the place where they had gone
down it was too late. Almost Immediate
ly afterwards, however the body of Miss
Estes foated to the surface and Mr.
Longfellow, with the aid of several other
cottagers, brought her to the shore. Eff
forts at resuscitation were made by Med
ical Examiner Richmond Root without
effect. DIR. Root was assisted by his son,
DR.. Raymond Root.
Boating parties soon began to grapple
for the body of the blind girl After two
hours search a boat in which Selectmen
Michael Buckley and Frank Nealon were
rowing, brought the body ashore.
Barbara Estes, sister of the councillor,
was away from the camp at the time of
the accident, but arrived when efforts
were being made to resuscitate her sis
ter. She assisted to the best of her abil-
ty. After all hope of saving her sisters
life was abandoned she controlled her
grief and declared she would bear the
;orrowful news to her family and started
for Lowell.
The bodies of both girls were removed
10 an undertaking establishment and
messages were sent to both families
Many of the blind girls who We're in
1athing at the time of the accident were
n a state of collapse following it. and
