ISLAND POND, Oct; claire Z 3
Powell, states attorney for Essex
county, and who has been investigat-
ing the shooting of Ralph B. Flan-
ders, the U. S. Customs officer, in
the room of his Island Pond homo
last Tuesday, says "death was due to
accidental shooting"
This decision was arrived at after
a thorough investigation of the facts
and after consultation with the At
torney General at Montpelier.
1t is the belief of the authorizes
despite the autopsy report thai it
must have been homicide OF sui = le,
that the man died when his gun was
accidentally discharged prior to his
retiring early Tuesday morning.
Flanders had been active against
whiskey smugglers.
He was a young man and no mo-
tive could be assigned for his at
etmpting suicide and the nature Of
the wound led the physicians to de-
eide against an accident but the in
vestigation has strengthened the be-
lief of the officials that in spite II
the conflicting facts. the man wa
killed when his own revolver was ac-
cidentally discharged as he was
about to lay it on the bed beside his
other weapons.

Hospital at Newport
Officers Elected

All Newport is grateful to Mrs.
John Young, widow OF the late John
Young, prominent lawyer, fer her
gift to the city of the Green prop
erty on Highland Avenue. This site
which is valued at $4,000 has been
selected as the most appropriate spot
on which to build the proposed hos
pital for the city. Mrs. Young is im-
bued with a fine spirit of generosity
which seems to be quite common
amongst the progressive citizens of
this live community.
Announcement of the gift was
made by Mrs. Young at the usual
meeting of the Newport Hospital AS
sociation which was held in the
School hall last Tuesday evening.
There were about 40 persons pres
ent at the meeting.
The business of the evening passed
off very smoothly and the list of Off
GERS were chosen. The names w6re
selected from list of members pre-
sented to the nominating committee.
All were elected unanimously: They
were: President, Mrs. John Young;
vice president, Hon. Josiah Grout; /;
clerk, DR. Harry F. Hamilton; treas
urer, Earl w. Brown; executive
board, H. S. Root, Mrs. Walter Hin
man, Mrs. F.' E. Alfred, Mrs. J. E.
McCarten, Charles L. Brown, Frank
Sabourin and 7 C. Camp.
Hon. Josiah Grout presented the
charter and read the bylaws which
were accepted. The meeting passed
resolutions expressing appreciation
of the kind act of Mr.. and Mrs. O.
f. Williams in transferring $4,000
and their home valued at $500 to
the cause. Mrs. Young was also
praised for the strenuous efforts she
has made in behalf of the hospital
project. Resolutions were also pass
ed expressing appreciation to all the
citizens of Newport who have helped
in the success of the Victory Tea
Rooms during the past summer. The
rooms closed this week.
1t was reported by Alfred Bi shop,
chairman of the temporary finance
committee that $4,000 now was the
lowest estimate needed for the first
unit of the hospital. He said it was
the belief of the committee that this
sum could be raised by annual mem
bership dues by drive along the
same lines as the war chest campaign
and by the loyal supporters of the
hospital

WOMAN'S CLUB

The October meeting of the WOm-
ans club was held in Pythian Hall,

Five new members were admitted
to membership: Mrs. w. F. Richard
SON, Mrs. Stuart Cheney, Mrs. Ida
Peabody, Mrs. w. A. Ide, Mrs. H. A.
Smith.
The president reported that SIS
had been appropriated to the History
and Literature Committee and $50
to the Art committee. The State
Federation urges that all club MEM
bers sign the thrift pledge card sent
out this week by which women agree
to be economical and thrifty. One
practical suggestion was for junk
dealers to carry thrift stamps to pay
housekeepers instead of money, thus
encouraging the saving of thrift
stamps.
The announcement was also m.ldc
that Miss Annie Lyford has been en-
gagged as District nurse.

The Christmas concert given at the

Tuesday night was complete success.
Much of the credit is due Mr.. Forrest

recent graduate of the Kansas City
Conservatory of Music. He has shown
real merit as a musician and special
talent in leading others. Lamar is in
deed fortunate in having Mr.. Cav as
a leader in music and every encour-
agement ought to be given him to con-
tinue his SPLENDID work.

The choir was assisted by Mrs. W.

are home for the holidays. Lois is
a student in Denver University and
also studies with the leading Cellist

ity in the rendition of difficult solo,

audiences are not often privileged to
hear.
The chorus numbers were well chos-
en- and rendered in a way that showed
real preparation under a capable di-
rector.
Such an entertainment is of more
than passing interest and Importance.
1t has many things to commend it
aside from its merit 1t does much
toward the education of an intelligent
audience. 1t brings before the pub
lie the talent of the city and it creates
desire for better music. We are of
the opinion that no effort should be
spared to make concerts like this be-
come matters of frequent occurance in
our city. Much praise is due every
one taking part in this concert and to
the director that made it possible.
