DECIDE TO HOLD FAIRS.
Despite Action of Railroads in Declining
to Run Special Trains.

White River Junction, June 2s.--By
recommendation Of Governor Graham q
special meeting of the executive boards
of the various county, district and state
fair associations of Vermont was held
yesterday afternoon in the Office of Sec
rotary Davis. Governor Graham was not
in attendance and President Estee OF
the State Fair association presided.
The purpose of the meeting was to
consider the matter of holding the va
rious fairs in view of the fact that the
b. & NJ. and Central Vermont roads had
decided not to run any special trains,
nor to name reduced rates.
Those representing county and district
fairs reported the decisions, already
made, to hold the various fairs irrespec-
tive OF the decision of the railroads. The
executive committee of the State Fair
association then voted to hold the state
fair with all agricultural exhibits elimi-
mated, thus combining the show to the
track events, amusement and the mid
way. Before deciding on all the fea
lures Of the coming fair it was decided
to have conference of the state fair
executive committee and Governor Ora
ham in Montpelier Thursday at 10 a. m.
Among those present at the meeting
were James b. Estee, secretary, F. l..
Davis, II. l.. Hatch of Randolph, G, l..
Stuart of Lyndonvile and f. H, Bickford
of Bradford, who constitute the executive
committee of the State Fair association.

Manchester, June 2s.-Bate yesterday
afternoon the state rested, having com.
pleted its evidence in the case Of Fran
els Ketchum, who is being tried for the
murder Fl William Costello last Sep
TENDER. The feature Of the day was the
introduction Of the story OF the killing
as confessed BY Ketchum before several
witnesses while he was serving term
in jail in Salem, y. Y, last autumn, the
story being told by these witnesses aft
er first being heard by Judge Slack with
the jury absent As the story runs, both
Ketchum and Costello were under the in
fuence Of liquor and eventually fought
because the respondent would not fur
nish enough liquor for the victim. Early
in the fight ketchum used his revolver
and then shot Costello twice after he
had fallen to make sure he was dead on
the theory, so the story goes, that
Dead men tell no tales" The autopsy
showed that the first bullet was fatal

the German activities appear more like
efforts to choke of any possible extended
movement by the French than anything
else. On the other hand, General Petain's
occasional strokes give the impression
that all he is trying TO do is to preserve
his vantage points as the basis for re-
Stunning the French advance at some flu
ture time. when that effort seems advis-
able The most important of the recent
French drives was that of Monday, at
Hurtebise, west of Craonne. The Ger

tions taken being fortress of some

prince well as a point of departure for
attacks. No further attempts TO

made Tuesday night, the Germans con-
tenting themselves with a spirited bonn

TROOPS
AN INDEPEND-
ENT COMMAND
They Will Cooperate With the French
as the British Are
Doing.

Washington, June 2s.-The epochal
landing of American troops in France
cannot be fully discussed at this time
for obvious reasons concerning the safe
ty of other contingents.
1t is entirely permissible to say that
they are part of the force which will be
under command OF Maj Gen. Pershing
and for whose arrival the general and his
staff have been arranging ever since they
landed on the other side. The American
troops will be an entirely independent
command just as are the British troops,
working, of course, with the French at
the head of operations, as they are on
French soil. When the troops have had
their period of preparation behind the
lines, they will take place on the battle
front, to be arranged by General Pershing
in consultation with the other military
chiefs there, and probably will be very
soon carrying the stars end stripes in
the assaults which steadily are driving
the Germans out of France and Belgium.

AMERICAN SHIP is
SUNK BY A BOMB
Galena, of lo4s Tons, An Oil Carrier,
Escaped U-Boat Last November
Grew ALI Saved.

London, June 2S.--The American sail
ing ship Galena, l04s tons, was sunk by
a bomb on June 25, when off Ushant is
land, off the coast OF France, 20 miles
northwest of Brest Fifteen survivors
were taken to Brest. There were no
casualties.
The Galena was formerly the barken-
tine Foohng Suey. She left here March
u with cargo Tor Rouen, France. She
carried crew of eighteen men, com
manded by Captain 2, v Marshall,
among whom, according to the records
of the United States commissioner of
shipping here, were eight American cit
Hens. The vessel was built in 1883 at
Glasgow, Scotland, and when launched
under the name Foohng Suey, Queen
Victoria is said to have pressed the but
ton that released her from the stocks.
She was built for the sugar-earrying
trade out of the Hawaiian islands, and
was named by a Chinese merchant of
Honolulu, the name signifying fair
wind, good water" The vessel was bad
ly damaged by a hurricane off the Vir-
ginia capes in 1918, after which she was
sold Tor a barge The European war and
the demand for ocean tonnage resulted
in her again being restored to her status
early this year as sailing ship, under
the name Galena.

End REGIMENT
Band CONCERT

The Second Maine Regimental Band,
always welcome visitors in Gardiner,
because they, by their Sentemanly
bearing, their ability TO please with
sweet music, and the cause in which
they have enlisted, have won d warm
place in the hearts of all true Gardi-
nerites, paid their third visit to this
city on Thursday evening and gave a
concert On the common. Although the
weather was lowery and the air chlEE
for standing out of doors, the large
gathering that had assembled stayed
until the close almost to a man.
Besides the music there was also
several speakers, who were introduced
BY Hon. Charles A. Knight. Mr..
Knight in a few brief words promised
the loyalty and sacrifice Of himself and
his fellow citizens and introduced Col
onel Hume of the Second Maine Regi-
ment. The Colonel proved to be a
forcefu speaker and came at once to
the point in a manner and with an
earnestness that could not be misun-
derstood. He called for the young men
of the city to give themselves to the
had done before them. He predicted
that the war would not be short one
but would probably last from three to
five years and that from eight to ten
million men would be needed. He said
that the war department was at pres
cnt making the most stupendous prep
arations that the world had ever
known He impressed upon his hear
ers that it was more honorable to be
a volunteer than to he drafted. Every
soldier has to he a target and every
resident of Gardiner should have a
mission and that mission should be to
help raise an army. The Colonel pre-
dicted that the Second Maine Regi-
ment would be on French soil within
six months and closed with the words:
We already have 60 men from Gardi-
ner and we want 50 more"
Mr. Knight then introduced Hon. o.
r. Clason, who referred briefly to the
days of the Civil War when he had
seen men enlisted and marching on the
very spot where the audience now
stood He called upon the young mer
of Gardiner to do their duty and called
to mind the fact that in order to aic
our allies we must have more thar
money. We must have men.
