FIREMEV'S ANNUAL
BALL BIC SUCCESS
Rowland Hall Was Thronged with Peo-
pie Last Evening in Honor of
Barre Fire Ladies'.

The fremen's concert and dance which
was held in Rowland hall last evening
proved a grand success and certainly was
one Of the biggest events of the season.
There was very large attendance, ap-
Proximately 300 couples being present.
Among the number were many out of
town persons, including Il. d. Moore, a
legislator from Bennington and also sec
retary of the Vermont State Firemen s
association, who was accompanied by a
number of other legislators. Various fire
chiefs from other cities were also pres
ent, both at the preliminary fire and the
dance
The fire early in the evening delayed
matters considerably and also placed the
firemen at great inconvenience. Several
minor parts of the program were not
carried out due to the confusion occa-
stoned by the conAagration.
The hall was quite elaborately dec
GRATED, which plainly showed the ardor
with which the fremen worked to make
this event a success and they deserved
the success that they were favored with.
The, walls were adorned with ladders,
pick axes, helmets and various other ar
ticles used in fighting fire, both ancient
and modern. There were pictures of
different running teams of times when
Barre won state championships and also
cups and other trophies of those times.
Also there was picture of ex-Chief
Clarence b. Gladding, which was draped
in I, s. flags. The stage was very taste
fully decorated with American flags and
numerous other artistic effects, including
the firemen's insignia, which was dis
PLAYED overhead. On the wall to the
rear of the stage were the letters B. +.
D., which were illuminated in red. The
whole had a very pleasing appearance.
The grand march started of at about
$3.50 and was led by Chief L. NJ. Tobin
and Mrs Tobin, who we're followed by
other members of the department in or
der of their rank. Then the dance was
on and when the strains Of the music
reached them, none could refrain from
tripping the light fantastic" The mu-
sic was furnished by the Landi-Forsell
full orchestra, which surely lived up to
its reputation.
Refreshments of punch and numerous
other delicaeies were served during the
evening, in fact, they were placed at
the disposal of the patrons whenever
they felt so inclined.
It was after o'clock when the gather
ing broke up with the fire department re-
eeiying congratulations on all sides, to
which they were justly entitled. Every
one declared that they had never en-
ioyed a more delightful evening and
hoped to have a repetition of it in the
near future. The kmmittee in charge
of the affair consisted of the entire de-
partment of regular tiremen. The pro-
ceeds of the evening are to 60 towards
refurnishing and improving the recrea-
tion rooms of the department at the
central fire station.

FAIRLY. PEACEFUL IN LAWRENCE.
Although Six Women Pickets Were Ar
rested To-day.

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 2l.-Scenes
around the textile gates were fairly
peaceful to-day, although the usual mum
Der of strike pickets kept watch on the
workers, and policemen were on duty.
There was no renewal of the rioting of
yesterday at the common, where strike
sympathizers sought to hold a mass
meeting without a permit from the city
authorities.
In the four mills of the American
Wooden company about one-third of the
number normally employed was said to
be on hand to-day, while in the cotton
mills the workers were estimated at
something over 80 percent, the number
reporting as high as so per cent in
the Pacific mill
Six women pickets were arrested on
charges of intimidating at the mill gates.

Predicted by President of United States

Newark N. j., Feb. 2l.-Prediction
that the nations beer supply would be
exhausted by May ! was made in a
statement issued here last night by
Christian W. Feigenspan, president Of
the United States Brewers association,
announcing that the brewers of this vi
cinity had agreed to pool their supplies
TO allow each concern to stay in bust
ness as long as possible"
After adding that New York, New Jer-
sey, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Connecticut would be ''beer dry" by April
/, the statement continued:
with the country dry of beer by May
you can see what it will mean for the
months of May and June. The country
will be on a straight whiskey basis. And
in these days of unrest it is dangerous to
have steady beer drinkers switch to
whiskey. The results may surprise peo,
pie"

WAITING ON CONFERENCE.
Nothing New in Granite Situation Until
After That.

There is nothing new TO tell to-day in
the matter of the proposed shutdown Of
the granite manufacturing plants OF the
country on March l nor is there likely
to be until after the conference which
is to be held in Boston on Monday.
Barre hoses for the best from this con
ference. At no time since the request
was made here for a S. a day wage has
there been a disposition among the local
union men to break their agreement with
the manufacturers to secure it, though
no formal action has been taken by the
local branches. The record of Barre
branch is exceptionally clean in the mat
ter of keeping agreements. These facts
probably win have their bearing on the
outcome of next Mondays conference.
There are ways enough to prevent
trouble if both sides want TO prevent it.
