EXPLOSION IN NEW
JERSEY SHAKES
BENNINGTON
Shock Last night Distinctly Felt
by ,everaI Persons
LIKE A DEFIANT EARTHQUAKE
Blasts from 10000 Pounds OF Smoke
less Powder Shakes Country for
Many Miles.

The shock OF the explosion OF 400,-
600 pounds OF smokeless powder at
the Dupont works at Haskell, N. j.,
was distinctly felt in Bennington.
The shock experienced here was lik-
ened to that of a distant earthquake
but was nevertheless distinct. In
some of the houses In the village the
windows ratified and there were other
evidences OF the disturbance.
Haskell, where the explosion occur
red, is 81 miles northwest of New
York city andsprobably 200 miles dis
tant from Bennington. The shock of
the explosion was distinctly exper-
fenced in Albany, Schenectady and
Troy where dishes were ratified on the
shelves, electric light globes were
shaken from their fastenings and
houses slightly yibrated on their foun
dations.
The Dupont comnany estimates its
loss through the explosion at $780,
600 but so far as could be learned the
disaster resulted in the loss OF but
two lives.

GRAND LIST s2,4ss,s4s
Total For the State Of Vermont For
Year Just Ended.

Montpelier, Jan. 1.-The biennial
report of the commissioner of taxes
has been distributed to the members
of the legislature. In a letter to the
members accompanying the report
Comm ssioner Plumley calls attention
to certain schedules affecting and ap-
pertaining to the respective towns.
He calls attention to the fact that
since the present commissioner OF
taxes assumed the duties of his office,
the valuation OF the real estate has in
creased over S13.000,000. or from
$157 227,O15.31 in 1912, to S170566,-
403.33 in 1916.
The net value of personal property
has increased in the same period
from S45, ,113,472.27 to s5S,951, ,971.21 in
1916.
The valuation OF taxable polls has
increased from s191 900 to s19S,000 In
round numbers.
The grand list of the state has in
creased from s2,214,47S.S1 in 1912, to
$2,493S46.5S in 1916. an increase OF
$279 9.36777, representing an increased
valuation and listing of taxable prop
eTly dHlOuuliHS 10 over 9Ai,oVU,VUV III
the last two biennial periods.
In this connection 1t Is OF interest
to note that for the first biennial per-
iod during which the commissioner OF
taxes supervised the administration
of the general tax law 1910-1912) the
value of real estate increased from
$143, ,3S6564.10 in 1910 to s157 ,277.-
0l5.11 in 1912, or over S14,000,000.
showing an increase insthe grand list
of the state of S144,07S for that per.
iod.
The commissioner of taxes says
that the voters OF Vermont have come
to realize that an illegal grand list Is
too expensive a luxury for the. state
or any town to afford. This lesson
was learned by some towns to their
serious financial sorrow Fa@
1t is fundamental principal in tax
alton now very generally understood
that no assessment Is valid which is
not based upon a valid and legal list.
To attempt to raise money on an IL
legal or invalid list, is like whistling
against 60-mile an hour gale, a
waste of effort.

STRICT VOTERS
Will Be ASKED
TO DECIDE
Special School Meeting Called
For "Wednesday, Jan. "a
AT 8 O'CLOCK IN The EVENING
To See II the District VIII Vote to
Give Up the Graded District
and United With Town

A special meeting Of the voters OF
the Bennington graded school district
is called for Wednesday evening, Jan.
"a at o'clock to see if the district
will vote to give up the charter of the
graded district and unite with the
town district.
This meeting is in accordance with
the vote at the last school meeting
which directed the trustees to investi-
gate and report to a special meeting
The facts found by the investigation
will be printed in the Banner next
week.
For several years, Hon. Mason s.
Stone, for 16 years state superinten-
dent of education has advised this ac-
tion and his successor. DR.. M. B.
Hiliegas, after considering the ques-
ton, has arrived at the conclusion
and gives the same advice.
The graded district was formed 46
years ago when each school district
in the state was independent In order
to provide high and graded schools
here. In recent years the state has
taken over the control of education
in the state and the reason for the
graded districts has passed away.
While the question to be decided Is
whether the voters will give up the
district charter the actual effect will
be TO join the village and the rural
districts in one school unit.
1t will lower the taxes in the village
and increase the taxes in the towns
outside the village, but the state
school authorities believe this to be
just as the village district has been in
the past maintaining a high and grad
ed school of which the town pupils
have had the benefit without the town
paying its share of the expense.
The graded district has school
property amounting to about s250,000
and debt of $4,000. The matter Is
entirely in the hands of the voters of
the district as they withdrew by their
own vote and can go back into the
town system If they so desire.
One graded district in the state
has already given up its charter and
others are considering the same ac-
tion.

at the meeting. The report of the

that during the past year the associa.
ton had made the largest growth
in its history. The treasurer's report
showed balance on hand of ssea75
much larger amount than he had
ever before been able to report.
Upon a motion of ]. Lawrence Girls

period during which he held the floor
was unusually interesting.
Mr.. Carpenter followed the commits
sioner and showed five reels of NOV

Whenever he comes to Bennington
on official business. Commissioner
Titcomb invariably speakes of the as
sistanoe afforded the department by
the members of the county club. II
there were organizations of a similar
nature in other sections of the state
with the same law-abiding spirit that
is behind the Bennington county club
running the department. he says.
would be far more enjoyable job.
During the past IL months there
have been planted in bennington and
vicinity close to a million fry and
lingering brook trout and the work
has been easily accomplished because
of the cooperation of the county club
members.

President Wilson declaring their abb

Germany in deporting into bondage
thousands OF the non-combatant pop

the law of nations and the rights of
humanity. The names of the signers

department of state this formal de-
claration of their adherence of the
recent outrages of Germany in deport-

and since the action, under the most
favorable construction, is In violation
of the spirit II not the letter of The
Hague convention, of which the
United States is co-guarantor togeth-

more it violates the noblest instincts
and most sacred rights OF humanity,
we. the undersigned. request the pres

to declare to Germany that, since she
has placed herself by the abhorrent
action outside the law which regu-

the diplomatic relations hitherto ex-

remain severed until Germany shall
give satisfactory assurances Of her
willingness to respect the law of ma

Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great looked with Sc
rene Indifference on all that his enc.
mics might say of him. One day as he
rode through Berlin he saw a crowd of
people staring up at something on the
wall and on sending his groom to in
quire what it was found it to be a carl
caturc Of himself The placard was
so high that 1t was difficult to read it,
SO Frederick ordered it to be placed
lower in order that the people might
not have TO stretch their necks The
words were hardly spoken when. with
a joyous shout, the placard was pulled
down and torn into n thousand pieces,
While hearty cheer followed the king
as he rode away.
