gross tonnage of $4,000, nearly 1000
more than the Leviathan. which would
have made her the worlds largest

Some Fine Catches Of
Hard Hit Balls.

Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, \. Y, Oct. 6.
The Cleveland Indians, with one
Brooklyn scalp dangling at their belts,
went on the war path again to-day to
tomahawk the National leaguers in the

fondly known in Cleveland, believe

Speaker believes that the edge now
lies with his American league pennant

the Brooklyns over and my men feel
they can take the majority of the
games he said. Brooklyn has fine
hall club, make no mistake, and have
my troubles to find pitchers to beat
them in long series.
The chill of yesterdays defeat and
a cold night did not freeze the enthusi
asm of the fans who came early to the
ball ward. Spectators seeking seats in
the unreserved stands began to form
in line two hours before sun-up, and
shiyered and shook in the Arctic blast
that came out of the north. A ground
keeper, making his rounds at midnight,
heard a heavy snore behind the scoreS
board in left field. He promptly un
earthed four men who had hidden in
the ball park after yesterdays game
and were taking nights rest in nest
of newspapers.
The wind had dried out the playing |
field so that the ground keepers had to
spray it with water to keep down the |
dust. Those who came early to the ]
game bundled themselves mp in great
coats and the players wore heavy
sweaters. 4

JURYMAN STONES
ALLEGED REMARKS
One of Those Who Tried Is T
Alleged to Have Said:
"Of Course He's Guilty

The affidavits of the three persons to
whom Jerome Stone Of Mortified il
alleged to have made statements bear
ing on the H. #. Graham case have
been filed in supreme court as includ-
ed in the petition In which the re-
spondent asks for new trial upon the
claim that Stone, iuryman, had ex-
pressed an opinion before the case
was tried and that he did not test
ify truthfully, when he was examined
as a witness. The statements, accord
ing to the affidavits, set forth that on
July 20, 1919, Stone told w. G.. White
of Mortified in the presence of Gilbert
Bates, that they would never get
Graham; he will be white washed; he
is in the ring and has friends. Of
codrse, "he Is guilty and ought to 90
to states prison"
Mr.. Bates certifes to similar
statement, while Mrs. T. n. Carpenter
of the same town certifies that in
1918 Stone made similar statement
TO her in the matter. His testimony in
tAuHihhtipu' NbrH tHc lui was pultsut
was that he had not formed any opin-
ion, that he had been juryman in
several cases, including criminal cases.
he had not made up his mind and had
not paid any attention to the matter
There are also affidavits that the at
torneys for the respondent did not
know of these conditions until W. c.
White advised them of it Feb. IL. six
days after Mr. Graham was found
guilty,
This morning the arguments com
menced in the st. Adams tax cases.

Probable unappropriated
surplus, Dec. 3lst 49,. 81,

The amount charged off to unexpend-
cd appropriations will probably not
all be expended. Certainly the total
of s504,T for "highways-automo.
bile maintenance fund will not be
paid out. as the claims from the vari-
GUS towns will not be received by
that time
The same thing applies 20 ss3 ,930 90,
unsolicited highways and the bal.
ance of S4l 1880 charged against the
treasury for federal road work. II Ii
also doubtful il SlO,243.6o, unexpended
appropriation for federal aid To edrs
cation, win be expended before the first
oi the year. The other unexpended ap-
propriations cover the various examin.
ing boards, S3,29o.23; supervisor in

way tax, "a ,s22 %; unorganized towns
and CORES, S5,6542l
These accounts overlap from wear
to year and from term to term, so il
seems very likely that there win be
about S2,00o,O00 free money on hand

sity for 40-cent tax and probably
making il possible for the legislature,
BY watching appropriations closely, to
avoid any state tax. or at least to

DIRECT STATE TAX
NAY BE ELIMINATED
Because State Treasury Is Expected
to Have Approximately Two Mil
lion Dollars at Opening of
New Calendar Year.

According to figures taken from the
books Of the treasurer and auditor. the
state of Vermont is likely to have a
surplus of nearly two million dollars
at the endbof the present calendar year,
According to conservative estimates,
this will make state tax unneces-
sary next year if the legislature keeps
within the present budget. This condi
tion apparently results from close fig
uring and strict economy on the part
of the various departments and the
board of control, from large increase
in state revenues and from the state
tax OF 40 cents, which is evidently
about 20 cents larger than was neces-
sary to meet the extraordinary ex.
penses of the war
The following statement shows the
financial condition of the state, July
J 1920, and what is expected in the
way of revenues and expenses:
