LOCAL AUTO MEN AN WRONG"
Have Violated Regulations Governing
Operation of Machines.

]. G. Norton of St Adams, who is at
present connected with the Office of
the secretary of state, has been in Ben
nington and vicinity during the past
few days investigating complaints
that number of automobile owners
are not complying with the state regu-
lations.
In the course of his investigation
Mr.. Norton has found 1S instances in
which cars are being run contrary to
Jaw, the principal offence being fail
ure to keep the registration up to date
1t is not probable that there will be
any prosecutions, provided the offend
ers comply with the law in the future.
There has been a pronounced ten
dency by certain owners Of automo-
biles in and around Bennington TO dis
regard the provisions of the statute
and the knowledge of these conditions
has been in possession Of the secretary
of state for some time. Licenses have
not only been allowed to lapse but a
considerable number of cars have been
operated on New York licenses and
the privileges granted in the licenses
issued to dealers in automobiles have
been abused.

London, May lO,-Ireland provided a
number of sensations today. The first
was the announcement of the resigna-
tion of Baron Wimborne, Lord Lieuten
ant, which undoubtedly had been in
Premier Asquith's hands for some time
acceptance being delayed until normal
conditions are restored in Ireland
The second was the appointment of a
commission headed by Lord Hardinge
to investigate the causes of the Irish
outbreak. a third was the admission
by the Government of the truth OF the
report that f. Sheehy Skeffington, edi-
tor of The Irish Citizen, and two other
journalists had been executed in the
Portobello Barracks in Dublin without
the knowledge Of the military authori-
ties and before martial law was actu.
ally in operation.
A fourth was the granting of the vet
eran Dillon's demand for special ses-
sion of the House of Commons to dis,
cuss the executions in Ireland, and
finally the issue of an important mani
festo to the Irish people by John Red
mond strongly denouncing the REBEL
ious movement and eloquently appeal
ing to Ireland to stand fast by constitu
tional means to secure self-govern
ment.
That the country has probably seer
the last of the executions of Irish rebe
leaders was indicated by statement;
made in the House of Commons by
Premier Asquith at the National Lib
eral Club by Home Secretary Herbert
Samuel.
The Premier, replying to question
said there was reason to believe tha
there would be no further necessit!
to proceed to extreme measures, al
though he could give no undertaken!
to that effect. He was able to Civ,
the positive assurance, however, tha
no further executions would TAX,
place before the time OF the debate OF
the Irish question. which was post
poned from last night to today.

ans Team Wednesday Afternoon.

bennington Tli9U WOH IFOIn WITH Au-
ans Team Wednesday Afternoon,
The Bennington high school baseball
team defeated the st. Joseph's school
team OF North fAdams Wednesday af.
ternoon by a score of IS to s. The
game was played at Morgan park and.
was ragged exhibition. The game
was late in starting and it was in the
vicinity of $50 when the contest came
to a close.
The Massachusetts students made a
good beginning by scoring four runs in
the first inning largely due to errors
by the members of the home team.
Bennington filled the bases in the open
ing period but failed to tally.
St Joseph's added three more runs
in the second inning and in the third
the locals came to bat with the score
standing to against them. A bat
ting rally, in which neary every Ben
nington player secured at least one hit
including three-bagger by Armstrong
changed the complexion of things and
put the Vermonters in the lead TO z.
Bennington blanked the visitors in
the fourth and fifth stanzas and added
three more tallies to home team side
of the score. Armstrong was again
the feature, this time with home run.
| st. Joseph scored final run in the
| sixth on an error while Bennington put
over one more on the squeeze play
The game was called at the end of the
seventh inning. The lineup:

Closing Up Prisons.

London, April IA reduction in
the prison estimates of the British
isles for the coming year of $5OO,OOO
or about II per cent-and the shut
ting up in whole or in part of score
of prisons are some of the visible evil
dences of the reduction of crime ow
ing to the war, according to the re-
port of the commissioners of prisons.
Of the 20 prisons closed or in pro-
cess of being closed, II have been
closed entirely, all being situated in
towns of moderate size like Chelms-
ford, Hereford, Stafford, st. Albans,
etc.
The biggest drop in crime was no.
ticed in the year ended March, 1915,
when the percentage was 2S1 per
100000 population. The fiscal year
now drawing to close is expected
to show a still further decrease in
crime, the report says.

GOMPERS DENIES COST
OF LIVING ONLY INCREASED

Washington, April 12.-President
Gompers of the American Federation
cf Labor denied today before House
committee that living expenses have
increased Is per cent in the United
States during the last ten years,
while wages have not advanced pro-
portionately.
"In the last IL years." he said, eva
ges, hours of employment and condi-
tions of labor have improved in the
United States beyond any other pc
riod in the history of the world.
"The trend of essentials since 1870
has been downward. We have en-
larged what the call the essentials
CT life in the last 80 years so that
there is no comparison between what
the cost of them was and what it is
today"
Mr.. Gompers said testimony pro-
duced from friends of the London So
cialistic insurance bill was the work
of "scientific ham fatters." If what
they said was true, his efforts and
those of labor workers were wasted, he
said.
AS substitute for the London bill,
which looks to the establishment of
compulsory insurance, Mr.. Gompers
offered a measure that would make
such insurance voluntary. Both
would provide for exhaustive social
surveys.

Why GallipOli Was Evacuated.

London, April 12.-Additional light
is shed on the withdrawal of the AL
lied forces from Gallipoli in a long
report from General Sir Charles c..
Monro, published in the Official Ga
zette. The report gives the views of
General Monro on the Gallipoli posi-
tion when he arrived there last Oc-
tober to examine the situation. He
says:
"Our positions in Gallipoli present
ed a military situation unique in his
tory. The force held line possessing
every possible military defect. Com
plete evacuation was the only wise
course, as an advance could not be
regarded as a reasonable military op-
Grafton.
"The appalling cost to the nation
involved through embarking On an
expedition with no base for the rapid
transit of stores and personnel made
it urgent that we should divert the
troops locked up. In a November
blizzard 200 men died from exposure;
more than 10000 sick were sent to
the hospital. The progress of the Hell
les evacuation was delayed by the
geather and the loss of a large horse
ship sunk by French battleship.
zone the evening of January 8, the
warship Prince George, which had
embarked 1000 men, was struck by a
torpedo from an enemy submarine,
which failed to EXPLODE"
General Monro pays a tribute to
General Birdwood and all engaged in
the evacuation and also explains how
he urged upon the French commander,
General Sarrail, to withdraw from
Serbia.
