only good furtuno could possibly pave

extra weight of Its Grew.
Using Corvo Island as an opcrnt ting
base, the screen Of battleships and
destroyers was sweeping westward in n
great semi-circle in an effort to catch
sight of the NC-3 or pick UP radio dis
tress signals. The high winds and heavy
seas prevailing made the work of the
rescue party most difficult.
The main element Of hope in the situa-
ton as viewed by naval officials tonight.
was the fact that the weather forecasts
predict diminishing winds and abated seas
late in the night and Monday morning.
1t was thought that if Commander
Towers frail craft could successfully ride
out the gale until morning that the
probability of rescue would be greatly
increased since swarm of destroyers
and other naval craft, gathered from
wide distances, was being concentrated
over the area to the northwest of the
Azores Each of the seaplanes carried
sufficient food and water for six days
when the squadron left Trepassey bay.
The condition in which the NC-1
was found was described in the fol-
lowing message to the navy depart

No word had been received from the
NC-3 since 5:15 O'Clock yesterday morn

a few short miles of Corvo headland,

heavy seas running at the time the

Chicago, May 15.-Francis Burton

of the Philippine Islands and Miss Eliza
beth Wrentmore, Is years old, student
of the University of California at
Berkeley. Cal, were married at 5:3C
o'clock this afternoon at the Blackstone
Hotel
The marriage was the climax of an at
tachmcnt said to have begun n year ago
when the governor-general met the present
Mrs Harrison at II dance at the palace
in Manila
The proposed marriage met obstacles
however, and one of them caused the
ceremony to be performed hero instead
of at the home of the governor general
mother. Mrs. Constance Cary Harrison,
author, in Washington, d. c.
Mrs Wrentmore in New York several
months ago said she would not give her
consent to her daughters marriage Mr..
Harrison's age she said was the only
bar
Another obstacle. a more recent one,
was diphthcria quarantine at the
Wrentmore home in Berkeley. Miss
Wrentmore was said by the Berkeley
authorities to have disregarded the quar-
antine when she left a short time ago.
There was a third obstacle. Mrs.
Mabel Judson Harrison, the governor
generals second wife, to-day in San
Diego, Cal, obtained her final decree of
divorce. With that bar surmounted final
details for the ceremony were arranged
at once. Mr.. Harrisons first wife was
Mary Croker of San Francisco, who died
in 1906.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison are expected to
start tomorrow for Washington to visit
his mother. They will probably spend a
few days in New York also Then they
will motor through New England as their
honeymoon trip.

plan to sail on June IL for Manila.

FIND MANY BONES IN
BABY'S BODY BROKEN
An Apparent Case Of Horrible Cruelty
Unearthed in Rutland


Rutland, May 1s.-Because of the in
dignation of physicians and hospital
attaches when the child arrived at the
Rutland hospital, Mrs. John Peryer of
this city has been summoned to appear
in city court Monday morning to show
cause why two-year-old baby should
not be taken from her by the State pro-
baton department and given a home.
The case Is said to be the worst instance
of apparent cruelty to human being
which has ever come to the attention of
the local authorities.
A neighbor is said to have discovered
the child at the Peryer house lying in
a basket without having received a ply
sician's attention. When it was sent to
the hospital by the poor master 1t was
discovered to have a fracture of each
leg, broken arm, n fracture of both
collar bones and two broken ribs. The
mother claims the child received the in
juries by falling. Some doctors say this
would be impossible and Grand Juror
John S. Dorsey has decided to make an
investigation.

new FINANCIAL SYSTEM
All State Bills to He Paid Twice a
MOnth-Auditor to 0. X. Treas
urer's Payments

Montpelier, May l8.-The following
statement was made Saturday relative to
the accomplishments Of the committee
OF the Board of Control upon a new
system in some Of the financial offices
OF the State and the committee Of which
w. F. Scott Is chairman has decided to
make the following recommendations to
the Board of Control for its approval
That all bills be presented and paid ex-
oepting salaries and expenses twice a
month. or the 10th and 25th Of each month !;
that the committee from the Board of
Control go over all bills over the sum
Of. say 500 Or $500. and 20. X" them be-
fore they are paid. The committee had
decided to recommend that a new form
of warrant be used and all bills paid by
the State treasurer after audited by the
auditor.
The drst day of every month the pay
rolls will be made up for payment Of
salaries of all officers and their en-
ployes and that the pay roll of attend
ants in institutions like the State hos
pital will be sent to the State treasurer
on the second or fifth of each month and
the pay roll be completed and checks
drawn for the payment of each one on
the pay roll
The expense accounts will be paid from
one to three months, according to what
seems best. but the expense of employees,
not officers will be paid when salaries
are paid.
All advances, excepting a very few
have been eliminated up to date. Very
likely there will have to be few ad-
vances In expenses like freights, cypress
postage and the like at institutions.
The committee. which completed Its
first setting Friday, has decided to In
vestigate tho Maine system of account
Ing. 1t being nearest to Vermonts cond!-
tons and they probably will be recon-
mendations Of change In the book
keeping systems. There also will be
recommended a checking Of revenue and

lied by popular vote, but their
bid is $152. 242 SO. or nearly
$50. 900 in excess of the amount
of funds made available by the
people. There is a wide diver
gence of opinion over the matter,
some of the citizens being in fav-
or of letting the road commission
go ahead on the matter and raise
the funds by additional taxation,
while others demand that only
the funds authorized by the pop
ular vote be spent. A tempor-
ary injunction was granted by
Judge Tarver, just as the con-
tractors were preparing to go to

TO DEFY LAWS
OF GRAVITY
Wise Legislators Found To
= Have Planned Unique
Sewerage System For
South Pitttsburg

So. Pittsburg, Oct. 2O.-The
So. Pittsburg sewer project. a
$4,000 affair, for which the
bonds were sold recently at a
premium of $40 and accrued in
terest, is now under fire, and en-
gineer W. H. Weatherford, of
Memphis, has been secured by
property owners who wished to
assure themselves of the feasibi-
lity of the scheme. The engin-
eer has discovered that some of
the laterals will run nearly up
hill and during storms that the
heavy flow thru the main sewer
will force the sewerage back in
to the residences unless check
valves are put in. and then
the sewers would fill up with
sand and trash. In fact. he
says that practically all the lat
erals start in the ground lower
than at the sewer end and will
therefore run against the grade,
making necessary deep and ex-
pensive digging. ;" D.
There is also a question over
the area of the Third Street sew
er, the act of legislature, intro
duced by W, M. Cameron, speci-
flying not less than eight by ten,
but not mentioning feet, which
may mean 40 square feet or 80
square feet, which is apparently
double what was intended. The
engineer has also discovered that
no estimates were made as to
the area to be drained, or the
amount of sewerage and storm
water to be conveyed.
Furthermore, he declares the
combined system of storm and
sanitary sewer will be foul and
offensive, especially, during dry
seasons.
Objection has been made by
property owners that the propos-
ed sewer system is not extensive
enough, and this objection the
engineer sustains. In fact, he
says that a complete sanitary
sewer system covering the entire
town and more efficiently serv-
