SEVERAL
BUILDING SITES
Investigating Committee on
Soldiers Memorial
Name Five
SUGGESTION BY
DIR. A. |. MILLER
Might Be Feasible to Use Hines Prop
erty in Connection With New High
School-Committee of Five to Be Ap-
pointed to Investigate.

Sites which might be available for
Brattleboro's S proposed soldiers memori-
al building Were reported by the inves-
tigating committee at a meeting of the
general committee in the board of trade
rooms last evening, and then commun-
ication from DIR. A. l. Miller of the pru-
Dental committee of the incorporated
school district was read suggesting
plan which heretofore has not been
made public.
Rev ID. +. Trout, chairman of the in
vestigating committee reported that the
committee had considered several prop
critics, some of which are not now avail
able, and he named four which the COM
mittee believed might be secured at
prices which he named, or for less.
These four were the o. ]. Pratt lot on
High street, Lindenhurst on Green
street, the Congregational parish house
on Main street and the Fl. r. Lawrence
property on South Main street.
A communication was then read by
Rev. Mr.. Trout from DR. Miller, not as
member of the school board but as a
private citizen embodying ideas which
had occurred to Dr. Miller As is well
known the present high school building
is over-crowded and it is planned at
some future time TO erect new high
school building on the Hines property on
the south side of Green street. which the
school district bought several years ago
with that object in view. This would
| leave the present building free for the
| grades.
DR.. Miller suggested that it might be
! found feasible for the district, the vii
| lage, the town. and the community fund
to erect jointly a building or set OF
| buildings on the Hines property to be
used as a high school and as a commun-
ity center under such regulations as
would insure to the public the same
privileges that would be afforded by q
community building on some other site
not connected with a high school.
This, he believed, would be advanta-
geous TO everybody concerned as il
would be located in practically the cen
ter of population and would have the
assurance of being perpetually used
whereas some memorials fall into dis
use through waning interest. His idef
contemplated giving up the High street
primary school building.
Dr. Miller had not made any inves
tigation to determine whether the plaI
could be worked out, but offered th'
: idea merely as a suggestion, and nearly
everybody present spoke in approval o
the idea.
1t was voted that the executive com
mittee' appoint committee of five t.
thoroughly investigate DR.. Miller s sug
gestion and report to the general com
mittee at later meeting. George /
Dunham, chairman of the general com
mittee, presided

MIND OPEN ON DAYLIGHT.
President Has Not Signed Big
Appropriation Bills.

WASHINGTON, July IL
President Wilson still had before
him today appropriation bills
passed recently by congress and
it seemed doubtful whether any
of them would be signed this
week. He feels that the meas
ures carrying appropriations OF
more than $2,000,000,000 deserve
deliberate consideration.
He is devoting considerable at
tention to the rider on the agri-
cultural bill repeating the day
light saving law. He has before
him many petitions urging that
he sign the bill and Others that he
veto it. So far as could be ascer-
tanned today his mind still was
open.
No appointments have been
made at the White House this
forenoon, but he was holding him
self in readiness to meet the SEN
ate foreign relations committee
and also confer with senators who
might desire to discuss the peace
treaty.
He has not yet begun prepara-
tion of the address to be deliv-
cred to the senate when he pre-
sents the agreement with France.

MAJORITY Is SUFFICIENT.
Senator Lodge Quotes Rules On Amend
ing Treaties.

WASHINGTON, July 1l-Opponents
of the league of nations early challenged
the assertion of the President, made in
his interview with newspaper men at the
White House, that it would take a two
thirds vote of the senate to adopt reser
vations
Senator Lodge, combating the state
ment, cited rules governing senate proceed
ure with treaties, to show only major
ity vote was required to adopt reserva-
tions. lie mentioned Rule 81, which
reads:
'.On the final question to advise and
consent to the ratification in the form
agreed to, the concurrence of two-thirds
of the senate present shall be necessary
to determine it in the affirmative, but
all other motions and questions upon a
treaty shall be decided by a majority
vote, except motion to postpone in
definitely, which shall be decided by a
vote of two-thirds.'
The senator also referred to amend
ments made to the arbitration treaty with
Great Britain when it was ratified by
the senate March Z, 1912, as showing that
majority vote was sufficient An amend
ment, providing for reservations on the
Monroe Doctrine, and purely American
questions, such as immigration, was
adopted, IL to 80. Later, the treaty wa:
ratified by the two-thirds vote
''The President is in error" said Sen
ator Lodge THE senate rule plainl,
shows that majority vote is sufficien
| to amend treaty, whether through res
ervation or any other method The sen
ate votes upon a resolution to ratify
treaty. Amendments may be made t.
that resolution before the vote on ratifi
cation is taken and they can be adopte
by majority vote. 1t is exactly tn
same procedure as in voting amendment
to bill. There is no question whateve
upon the noint"

PACKERS IN CONTROL.
Federal Trade Commission Re-
ports to President Wilson.

WASHINGTON, July H.
Approaching control of all impor-
tant foods in the United States
and an international control of
meat products with foreign coun-
tries by five big packing concerns
seems a certainty unless action is
taken to prevent it, the federal
trade commission declares in part
l of its report today to President
Wilson on the "extent and
growth of power of the five pack
ers in meat and other indus
tries.'
The report reaches the conclu-
sion that the five packers threat
en- the freedom of the markets
and the country's food industry
and of the byproduct industry
linked Herewith.
1t adds that the meat packers
control of other food will not re-
quire long in developing. The
packing firms named in the report
are Swift & Co., Armour & Co.,
Wilson & Co., Morris & Co., and
the Cudahy Co.
