WHO PAYS FOR GUARDS
Power, CONSTRUCTION Co. Said to Have
asked Towns to Bear Expense.

Asked Towns to Bear Expense.
North Adams, Mass, Feb. IT,
The selectInen OF the towns in which
the Rover Construction company has
its holdings on the other side OF the
Hoosac tunnel, have had a surprise
sprung on them by the company. The
company has taken steps to guard its
valuable property, its dams and gen.
Grating and distribution stations as
well as its expensive lines To organ
ize sufficient guard for the large
property of the company, it has been
said that a very large number of the
mea employed by the company have
been sworn in as special officers, or
constable.
The demand made upon the select
towns which have never been very
Charlemont. etc. By the company is
that these towns pay for these guards
cut of the town treasures.
This demand made upon these
town, which have never been very
rich, has sent their officers to the of
fees OF the lawyers who transact the
towns public business These oiIici-
ais are seeking light, and it is under
stood they have been given it.
/ he selectmen have been told by
their lawyers that there Is no obliga-
tion upon the towns to pay for this
work OF guarding.
The officers Of the towns may swear
in certain officers. such as constables
so as to give them official authority
in performing their duties as guard,
the authority to arrest and such other
powers as police officers have. but
that in no case need the charge for
the services of these officers be a
charge upon the towns.
Ii it has not been already done it
is certain that in the future no officer
will be sworn in by the selectmen Of
these towns without it having been
written in the officers commission
that he is TO perform his duties with
out pay from the town.
II the towns could be made liable
for the cost of the guarding of the
Power Construction company's plant
the tax rate would Jump so high that
farms would be on sale on all hands.

CUBAN REBELLION
RAPIDLY GOING
TO PNCtS
InsureCtionists Ire 'urrendering
in Large Numbers
WILSON'S NOTE DISCOUaACIsG
Refusal of U. S. President to Recoq-
nize Opposition Leaders Broke
Their Courage.

Havana, Feb. 20.--The revolution
airy movement in Cuba was compaI-
atiyely uneyentful today. Reports
from the interior dealt only with
movements OF scouting parties.
The American note in which Presi-
dent Wilson announced his policy Of
holding the rebel leaders responsible
for injury to the lives or property of
fol eigners, and explicitly stating that
no government established by revo-
lutionary methods would be recog
nized, seems to have had dishearti
ening effect on the insurrectos, who,
according to reports are surrendering
in large numbers.
Colonel Collazo, in command of the
government forces which captured
Sancti Pasquez a few days ago, esti-
mates the number of killed on the
rebel side in the battle at fifty and
the wounded at seventy-fve. Among
the wounded, according to report
to Colonel Collazo. is Colonel Carlos
Mendieta, the Liberal vice president
ial candidate, who is reported to be
wounded in the leg.

tertainment course given by the

day, Feb. 2S The Stockholm Concert
company are the entertainers.
= The concert company gives varied
musical program OF q high order, con.
sisting of solos, readings, trios and
quartettes. A very interesting fea
ture is their appearance in Provincial
Swedish costumes which are abso
lutely genuine and the novel and
highly delightful program they offer
OF Swedish folk music and ensemble
singing. Never before has anything
of quite this order been presented in
America.
The company consists of Madame
Hausch, cellist, native Of Stock
holm, Sweden and her two daughters
Miss Gurli Hausch, yiolinist and di
rector, also a native of Stockholm and
Miss Ingeborg Hausch, flutist and
reader; the fourth member of the
quartette is Miss Grace Keesler, plan
list and soIoist. Madame Hausch
comes from a family of musicians
many of whom have become dis.
tinguished artists. She is a graduate
of the Royal Conservatory and has
played many times before King Os-
car II of Sweden.
The Chicago papers say OF them
"The ladies' OF the Stockholm Con.
cert company are finished artists,
whose music must satisfy the sever
est critics"
This is one of the most expensive
companies The improvement associa-
ton has even been able to present to
the public and those not holding sea-
son tickets will certainly miss treat
II they fail to hear this noted com
pany.
Reminder the time and place, Fri
day evening, Feb. % in Bank hall,

both directions will wait till the con-
cert is finished.

t,2oo CASES SORE THROAT
St. AIbans infection Due to MIX
PeddIers.


st. Adams, Feb. ia new devel-
opment in the situation in which this
city finds itself by reason of the cpl
demic OF sore throat appeared late to-
day when, as the result of the visit of
Or. Ladd OF the State laboratory TO
the city. the spread of the trouble
was traced to milk infection, II is be-
lleved. There are now nearly 1900
cases of sore throat in the city.
1t was discovered that several Of
the n en- handling Q large portion of
the milk supply of the city had been
suffering with septic sore throat One
OF the results Of this discovery Is the
issuing of orders that no milk deliver
ed over the route of William Warner
is to be admitted to the city until it
has been pasteurized.
In view of these more recent devel-
opments ii Is expected that some ex-
treme action will be taken toward
stamping out the disease II is ex-
pected that orders will be received
from the State board of health prohib-
ting public gatherings.
All of the physicians of the city are
not agreed upon the theory that the
disease is caused by milk infection
There is no doubt whatever that the
ituation is getting upon the nerves of
the people and considerable hysteria
over il exists.
Mayor John K. Mann when asked to
make a statement upon the situation
declined to do so this evening, but
said he would endeavor to do so to-
morrow.

ANCONA SINKING IS RECALLED

London, Feb 2O.-Frederick c.

today to the foreign minister request
ing clear Interpretation as to what
viewpoint the Austro-Hungarian gov

surances given on the Ancona and
Persia incidents are to be regarded as
changed or withdrawn. The foreign

sons aboard being brought into safety
