Hon. Thetus Sims of Tennessee,
chairman Of the House Committee
on Interstate Commerce, opened the
doors of his committee room and
offered the hospitality Of a public
hearing to a campaign issue on
which quite q few Democrats may
think they will have a fighting
chance to hold Congress in Novem-
Der, even If the war is not carried
over until after the election to make
safety for Democracy" the sole
test.
The issue was presented by Hon.
N. Clyde Kelly Of Pennsylvania in
support of his bill to provide further
for the national defense and for the
conservation Of national resources.
This is to be done by taking over
during the war and for two years
at least, thereafter, as many coal
mines, iron mines, copper mines,
gold and silver mines, diamond
mines There is one alleged in Ar
Kansas, copper, lead and zinc
mines, hydroelectric waterfalls,
forests and so forth, including oil
and gas wells, as the President may
find it convenient TO assume respon-
sibility for in addition to his other
functions. He is to compensate the
present owners by agreement. All
functions and labor organize
tons now at work are. to be kept
understurbed and, with a quarter
of billion dollars to start q "re-
volving fund.-" the revolution is to
proceed as in the case of railroads.
Mr.. Kelley and Mr.. Benjamin T.
Marsh, secretary Of the National
High Cost of Living Association,
spoke in favor Of the bill and
against the high cost Of living to
which both are much opposed. They
explained that 1t will disappear only
when unearned profits are cut out,
as they propose to do. experimentally
while using our national resources
''to win the war"
Incidentally, to make more fav-
orable impression of the need for
his bill, Mr.. Kelly offered evidence
that the present methods of food
and fuel control and of price fix
ing" in general are a complete
failure, threatening to become dis
astrous.

against 1t were made by Senators

NO VERMONT STATE
FAIR THIS YEAR
Exhibition Given Up on Account Of the
Uncertainty of Railroad Trans
portation.

MONTPELIER, May 2.-There will
be no Vermont state fair At White
River Junction this year. This deci-
sion was reached when President j.
B. Estee of the state fair commission
had conference with the members of
the organization A carefully prepared
statement of facts was presented tae
commissioners Reasons were given
why the fair should not be held and
also reasons why the fair should be
held The former, from the action
taken, must have overbalauced the lat
ter
The chief objection of the holding
of the fair was the condition affecting
the railroads. The transportation com
panies were unable to promise anything
in the way of excursion trains, reduced
| rates or in the transportation of stock
| under conditions that have governed
in past wears.
| The likelihood of conditions that now
affect the railroads changing to an,
| great extent before September was no'
| encouraging. as explained by railroad
officials. although the disposition o.
these officials was to do everything pos
Sible for the fair in ease it was held

it would be impossible to make as goo,

HOW LIEUT.. CALVIN DIED.
Chaplain DesValles Gives First Par
ticulars Of Co. L Tragedy.

The first news of the circumstances
of how Lieut.. John j. Calvin met his
death in battle a few weeks ago, came
in the form of despatch printed III
tle Boston American. Lieut. Calvin
was a former Brattleboro boy who went
into the service with Company l., Cd
Massachusetts regiment Of Greenfield,
where he had lived several years.
In the despatch Bert Ford, war
correspondent in France gave con-
versation he had with Father Des-
Wales, one of the regimental chaplains,
after the battle III which the l04th sus-
tanned its heaviest list of casualties.
Father DesNalles, who was formerly a
pastor in New Bedford, said that Lieut.,
Calvin came to the dressing station
after fighting valiantlv all day and told
the doctor that he could not hear, and
that it was affecting his work. The
doctor advised him to put warm water
in his ears. The lieutenant replied:
- How am | to get hot water when
can t even get cold. -
With this remark he passed out Of
the dugout, standing just outside the
door to exchange a few words with
the chaplain. A shell burst near BY
| and he was advised to seek shelter
