Not Wise to Accept H. C.
Copeland's Cordition-
al Gif
AND NO AUT sRITY
TO SP7 80 MONEY
State Board g Control Dis
poses Of matter Left
by Legislature

The Vermont state board of control
has notified II. G.. Copeland of New York
that it does not seem advisable for the
state of Vermont to accept Mr.. Cope
lands conditional gift of his farm in
Middletown Springs, the requirements
being that the state expend $4,000 on
new buildings and spend $4,000 year
for maintenance for % years.
Writing in behalf of the board of con-
troll, Gov. Graham said: II am directed
by the board to advise you that they
have looked the property over and con-
sidered this matter very carefully and,
under the circumstances, do not feel that
it would be wise to recommend the ac-
ceptance of this property by the state;
and further to advise you that the board
has no authority to bind the state to
incur the expense that would be occa-
stoned by the acceptance of your gift
1t was evidently the purpose of Mr..
Copeland that an agricultural school
should be established on the farm in
question, the offer having been first made
during the last session of the legislature.

SHOCK FELT
MANY MILES
Terrific Explosion in Small
House at Dupont Co.'s
Plant
ONLY THREE DEATHS
AND ONE MAN HURT
Windows Were Smashed in
Many Surrounding
Towns

Philadelphia, Oct. l5.--An explosion to.
day in the nitro starch dryhouse at the
DUPONT Powder Works at Gibbstown
n. j., resulted in instant death to two
workmen. A third man is missing and
probably is dead. The bodies of the
two men were blown to pieces. Another
man was seriously injured. The de.
stroyed building was small one-story
structure isolated from the rest of the
plant and the force consisted of only
the two men mentioned. There was no
other damage to the plant, and the Du-
Pont company said that there was moth
ing suspicious about the explosion.
Because of the terrific force of the ex-
plosion the most alarming reports as to
its extent were in circulation. In Phila-
delphia, 20 miles distant, the shock was
distinctly felt, and the surrounding
towns in New Jersey reported shattered
windows and other effects of the impact.
Ever since the war began the powder
and munitions around Philadelphia have
been source of apprehension and the
people become excited whenever a report
is heard or felt from down the Della
section where millions of pounds
of explosives are being turned out for
the armies.

CITY SCHOOLS OPENED
Most of the Scholars Reported; Two
Teachers Absent.

Postponed for month because OF
sporadic outbreaks of poliomyelitis, the
city schools reopened to-day and despite
the delay, an average attendance was re-
ported this afternoon by Supt. c. Ii.
Whte.t Spaulding high school begins
the school year with 440 students en-
rolled and while limited number of
parents have expressed desire to keep
their children at home for few days
longer, the attendance in the grades was
regarded as satisfactory. With two ex-
ceptions all of the teachers were present.
Miss Carleton is substituting in the sec
ond grade at the Ayers street school for
Miss Dodge, who is detained at home on
account of her mothers illness, and Mrs.
j. 7. Kenefick has charge of a grade at
the North Barre school, where Miss
White is an absentee. Each teacher is
absent only temporarily and the full
corps of teachers in all buildings will be
on duty within a short time
At noon to-day returns from all of the
schools in the city had not been received
at the superintendent Office, but there
was reason to believe that the aggregate
abundance will compare favorably with
that of recent years. Most Of the teach
ers came to Barre fortnight ago in the
of resuming their duties Oct.

continued the postponement ordered by
the board of health Sept IL. The teach
ers have remained in tn city and during

May Mean Early Resump-
ton of British Drive
in Flanders
GERMANS FORGE
AHEAD NEAR RIGA
Petrograd, However, Is Not
Considered to Be in Any
Immediate Danger

Heavy artillery actions are again il
progress on the Flanders front. The
London official report to-day speaks OF
a strong bombardment of the new Brit
ish positions on the main Passchendaele
Gheluvell ridge, south of Broodseinde
In the light of previous experience, this
may be viewed as indicating German
counter battery work against intensive
British artillery fire in progress prepar-
atory to another push.
The situation on the Russian northern
front continues critical, with the Ger
mans overrunning the island of Oesel
and rapidly pursuing their program of
gaining complete control of the gulf of
Riga. Russian military observers ex-
pected a speedy extension of German
operations to the mainland, probably on
the Esthonian coast, whence a move
ment toward Petrograd might be pushed
Petrograd itself, however, is considered
in no immediate danger, as 100 miles of
ground still lie between the Germans
and the Russian capital.

When Large Barn on H. S.
Soule Farm at Fairfield
Was Burned
LOSS OF $4,000
PARTLY COVERED
Spontaneous Combus tion
May Have Been the
Cause

Fairfield, Oct. l5.--A large Darn on tn.
Harry s. Soule farm, known as the Tier
ney place, located a mile and one hal
from this village, was burned at 43(
this morning. All but two of the 46 head
of cattle in the barn were saved, but all
the other contents were burned, includ.
ing 400 bushels of oats, quantity OF
phosphate, blower for filling the silo
and large amount of hay. The loss is
$4,000, with partial insurance. The
farm was being conducted by A. M. Mar
shall.
The cause of the fire is not known.
Mr.. Marshall was awakened at about
1870 and on looking out of the window
saw flames leaping from window. There
is possibility that the fire was due
to spontaneous combustion. Neighbors
came within short time, but could do
nothing to prevent the destruction of the
barn, which measured l20 by so feet. 1t
is not thought that Mr.. Soule will re-
build the barn right off.

A SHAME TO THE CHURCH.
That Retired Methodist Ministers Are
Not Better Cared For.

Rev. E. w. Sharp, Brattleboro, distric
superintendent, accompanied by Rev
John T. B. Smith, Chicago editor of pub
lications, board of conference claimants
visited Barre on Sunday in the interest
of the Vermont Methodist Episcopal con
ference campaign for 100000 TO pension
the retired ministers and take adequate
care of the widows and orphans of de-
ceased Methodist ministers.
DR.. Sharp presided and had charge OF
the opening of the public service in the
Hedding Methodist church on Saturday
morning and there was special music by
the choir
'The Worlds Debt to the Aged Preach
er" was the subject of the sermon by
Rev. Brabner Smith, who said in part !:
"All the protestant churches and in fact
all the churches throughout the world be-
lieve that God calls and sends men to
preach Jewish called the seers and
prophets of the Old Testament, Samuel,
Isaih, Elijah and Jonah. Our Lord
Christ said He was sent by God. Later
Jesus called several fishermen, members
of nets, a physician and others to preach
the gospel. The church has grown and
the body of Christ has several members
or denominations.
"In the Methodist Episcopal church
there are 100000 members, 100000 ad.
herents and 100000 Sunday school
scholars and II 500 preachers, with prop
perty worth $500 100000. This church rep.
resenting our Lord on earth, calls men
nd
thousand of these preachers have an av-
erage salary of S77l and cannot save
money for a rainy day. The church took
them for life and must take care of them
as long as they live and are good minis
tiers of Jesus Christ. Twelve thousand
of these preachers die in the harness and
do not need pensions, only 5000 live to
be old and retired on the funds Of the
church. They receive $3.50 year
in the Vermont conference the sal
ary is $500 as an average and the re-
tired ministers are paid 40 cents a day
to feed and clothe and house themselves
ers are paid 80 cents day. This is |
shame and unworthy a great church |
Christ said, Inasmuch as We did il unto |
The least of these my servants We did it |
INTO Me- This campaign for 100000
IS to care for these veterans of the |
ross. Vermont gave Methodism Dr.
Timothy P. Frost, and that was a great
lift.
"The protestant churches are all in a
for preachers pensions. The
1piscopalians sought S5,O00,00O and
aised SS,500,O00 The Presbyterians
ave s6,00O,0O0 of a needed Sl0,000,O00
nd the Congregational, Baptist, Luth-
ran, Christian and Hebrew churches are
n pension campaigns. Methodism is
eeking S20,OO0,000 and it has $4,000, 900
n its treasures. Protestant churches
1ill spend 100000 in advertising in
ally and weekly papers the pension idea
