State Highway Commissioner S. B.
Bates has allotted the money to the
several towns in the State which are
entitled to portion of the $4,000
voted by the Legislature for the un-
selected highways or back roads in the
State. There was $2S1.93 carried over
from last year so that the total
amount figures out that the towns are
entitled to $7.40 a mile, but this work
must be done in one piece of road, that
is to say, if a town gets $500 it must
expend it over a short distance instead
of scattering it over the town at the
rate of $7.4O a mile. The sum, what
ever it may be, will materially inn
prove some back road in each town.

EXTRA SHERIFFS CALLED
FOR THE LONG TRIAL
The Action Is Considered Necessary Be-
cause a Large Crowd Is Expected
to Clamor for Admittance
to Courthouse.

Preparations are under way for the
trial of George A. Long in Washington
county court next week on the charge Of
having murdered Mrs Lucina G. Broad
well in Barre the night of May 3-4 Ex-
ira sheriffs are being selected, for it is
expected there will be large crowd at
tending. The court will convene at 8
o'clock Tuesday morning, when the trial
of the case will be commenced. General
ly in a murder trial, there are some mo-
tions to be disposed of and these Will
take some time.
The old jurymen have been released
until o'clock Tuesday morning, so that
if there are motions and they are dis
posed of, then the drawing of the II
men who will decide upon the case can
be commenced. The 81 new jurymen
will report at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Opinions differ as to the probable in
terest in the case. Some believe that
the trial will be so filled with objections
and exceptions that after the first few
days the attendance will not be very
large, while others think that the at
tendance will resemble the Marsh trial,
which occurred several years ago, when
the corridors of the courthouse were
filled at times SO that the officials had
trouble getting to their stations in the
court room

LIGHTNING STRUCK POLE
And Caused Barre to Grope About in the
Dark Last Night.

Lightning struck a pole of the YER
mont Power companys system on the
west hill during the heavy storm at 1880
last evening and eventually threw the
whole Of Barre into Stygian gloom.
For half an hour pedestrians groped
about the streets in inky blackness,
which was relieved here and there by
the rays of light from conveniently To-
Gated gas Jets and kerosene lamps in
stores and homes. Automobile headlights
helped some, and when the street cars
came along people got their bearings
momentarily, only to be lost again as
soon a. the friendly light was gone
Altogether it was the blackest time
Barre has had for long period, as the
sky was completely overcast with swirl
ing black clouds and the rain came down
in torrents.
When the lightning struck, it took the
top and cross arm of the pole completely
off and threw the Vermont company 5
system out Of commission. Then there
had to be a complete shutdown until the
Vermont company's system and the Con
solidated company's system became sep
arated. With this done, the latter car
ried the load in Barre for the remainder

STEEL CORPORATION
SLOW on WAGE RAISE
Union Head Declares 1t Does Not Lead
the Procession, as Judge Gary
Had Claimed.

Washington, d. C., Oct 3.-Giving a
detailed history of union activities in
the steel industry, Michael i. Tighe,
president of the Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers union, to-day told the Senate
committee investigating the steel strike
that the United Saes Steel corporation,
instead OF leading the van in advancing
wages, as Judge Gary has claimed, has
Jagged behind our organization"
"Information given to you by Judge
Gary" Tighe said, was not frst,hand
evidence gained from practical knowledge
of the industry, but instead, consisted
of the statements made to him by his
employees, foremen and superiutendents.
1t was far and away from being the
truth about the industry"
Tighe repeated the charge that the
steel corporation early in its history had
appropriated $20,0OO,0O0 to fight unions,
and gave names of his informants The
unions, he said, had never sought the
closed shops, but union shops.
"When the management signs a con
tract as to scales and working conditions,
it is union shop" he explained.
"The effect is the same as closed
shop, isn't it," asked Senator Sterling,
Republican, South Dakota.
no" said Tighe "We are not ask
ing for closed shops and never have"
w z. Foster, secretary Of the general
strike committee, whose alleged views
as radical have drawn congressional
fire, was present at the hearing prepared
to testify after Tighe had concluded.
Armed with copies Of his book on syn
dicalism, members Of the committee were
ready for sharp cross examination
