WEEGHMAN ON WAY TO NEW
YORK TO SWING BIG DEAL
BY Mark Shields

by MARX Snl6lQS
President Weeghman of the Cubs
is on his way to New York to attend
the National league meeting tomor-
row. He will meet Manager Fred
Mitchell and the two officials hope
to swing a deal that will add strength
to the Cubs.
Before his departure Pres. Weegh-
man admitted he was considering a
dicker that would. make the Iris
Speaker and Eddie Collins sales look
like pikeTs.' That is some statement,
but must be backed by its cOnsum-
nation before the general fan army
is going to put much stock in it.
No doubt Pres. Weeghman is will
ing to swing such a deal, and no
doubt he would spend his money if
such a purchase were possible, but
in the National league it is impossible
to make a deal that will cause such
! a sensation as the Speaker and Col
Inns affairs. For the simple reason
that the National league doesn't
boast a Collins or a Speaker, and it is
cinch that the American league is
not going to cut any of its stars
BdrifL
Of course, there would be a SEN
satiOn if Weeghman secured AIeXan-
der from the Phillies, but Pat Moran
is hardly ready to shut up shop and
go out of business. Getting Ban
croft, MaranviIle or Hornsby would
be purchases worth more than a
word or two, but they wouldn't be
IN a class with Speaker and Collins.
Any one of the three infieIders
would be good men for the North
Siders. Either would plug hole in
the Cub infeld that may be trouble
some. Workman did well on defense
while he was a Cub. but he does not
stand with HoTnsby, Meanwhile or
Bancroft.

INVESTIGATIONS
NOW A FAD.
Reirden and Miles Both Introduce
Bills. Work Progressing
Slowly.

The persistent and ugly reports
| concerning the treatment of patients
at the Brattleboro retreat will be in
vestigated by duly authorized legis-
latlve committee, consisting of three
representatives and two senators.
Upon the heels of the Brattleboro
complaints comes the story of alleged
abuses at the new state school for
feeble-minded at Brandon and hear
ing has been held by the state insti-
tutions committee of the legislature.
Neither the chairman of the commit
tee nor DR.. Frederick j. Russell, head
of the institution would make any
statement. This is interpreted as
meaning that there may be further
developments.
The effort to hold Saturday ses-
sion of the house in order to speed
things up received a cold shoulder
from a majority of the members as
roll call showed. Orleans county
members were present as follows !:
Cheney of Albany, Wright of Coven-
try, Miles of Glover, Tailor of Green's
boro, Prouty of Newport, Phillips of
Irasburg, and Martin of Westfeld
Mr.. Wright of Coventry has intro
duced an act to provide for the cleo
ton of water commissioners by the
town of Coventry. The town may
elect three water commissioners to
have management and control of the
water system.
The Caledonia county delegation
has unanimously endorsed Edwin
Connell of Lyndon for fish and game
commissioner. For the past eight
years Mr.. Connell has been assistant
to Commissioner Titcomb and is high
ly endorsed by the leading fish and
game men.
Mr.. Reirden Of Barton has intro
duced an act to amend sections 1, 2
and three of No. 167 of the acts of
1894, relating to the electric lighting
plant of the village of Barton and to
extend powers of village in respect
thereto. This bill authorizes the vii
lage of Barton to operate in Charles
ton, an electric light plant for use of
its own and other villages and towns
in Orleans county and for such pur-
pose the village may take, purchase,
acquire and hold any water power,
rights of water, land or rights of way
in Orleans and Essex counties needed
for the construction, maintenance and
operation of it's plant and appurte-
nanceS.

Teeth of Barton Children Most Seri-
Gus Defect

The following summary of the med
ical examination recently given the
pupils of Barton academy and graded
school by Dr. John Blake, as required
by law, will be of interest to the pub
lie. The eyes, ears, nose and throat
were examined. The number of pu-
pills examined was 262. The boys
number 131 and the girls 131. The
number of pupils defective was 1877
and of the number 68 were boys and
50 were girls. This brought the per-
centage of detectives up to 81 1-3
The following summary is given:

The poor condition of the teeth is
the most serious menace to the health
of the pupils. Out of 262 examined
143, or 81 I'll % were found to have
defective teeth, greater number
than the total number of detectives
in all four classifcations given above.
