DIGGING LIKE MAD
TO REACH NAN IN
VERMONT NINE
There Is Little Hope That Gordon EN-
erson Will Be Rescued Alive at
Johnson-He Was Caught
By Cave.in.

johnson. Jan o. Every man, who
can be put to work, is digging like mad
in the mine of the American Mineral
company in an effort TO get TO Gordon
Emerson, who was entombcd Wednes.
dav~ afternoon about o'clock when
there was caye-in OF hundreds of tons
Of rock in the tale mine, where he was
employed. There is now faint shope
that he is alive and the probabilities
are that he was struck by some of the
rock. but no one can tell what is on
the other side Of the mass of debris and
every effort to reach him is being made.
Al the time the cave-in occurred EN-
crson was working at the head OF the
nine, and two other men were not far
from him. George Hatch and John
Amedon saw signs OF what was going
to happen aud made their escape. En-
erson, apparently, made no attempt TO
move and the men saw no more of him
after they turned 10 fee.
There Is water in the mine, but the
pumps are kept in operation constantly
in order to keep the water from reach,
ing him. There is no means Of getting
air to him and il he lived after the
stone came down il is doubtful if he
has had air enough to last him until
now.
Emerson is married and with him
lived four children OF his wife. He had
no children of his own. He is about 80
years old.

Mr.. Daniels said he had read Gov.
Edwards platform with a great deal
of interest and had found at least 30
per cent Of II" excellent and agreeing
thoroughly with the best principles Of
Democratic statesmen of the past and
present. Naturally. the secretary said,
he could not agree with Mr. Edwards
on the prohibition question, but this
point should not be allowed to over
shadow the great good in the re-
mainder OF the governors platform.

"that Mr.. Cummings acted with per-

FEAR RETURN OF MONARCHY.
Reactionary Coup in Hungary May Be
Attempted.

Vienna,,Jsn. 2l.-There is a growing
belief here that the coming Hungarian
elections will result in the establish.
ment of monarehial government. For
this reason, the activity Of monarchists
in Austria is being watched closely and
there have been rumors that reae-
tionary coup would be attempted.
While Chancellor Karl Renner was
in Prague recently. an agreement was
reached with Czecho- Slovakia by which
that country undertook not to supply
arms TO Hungary, but Austria cove
nanted TO furnish a certain amount of
armament and munitions to the Czechs.
1t is pointed out that this agreement
was significant because. if monarchy
is established in Hungary, Austria
would be the front line OF defense
against the spread of the reactionary
movement.

BRIDGE MEETING FEB. 4.
Barre Voters to Say Whether Structure
Shall Be Built on So. Main st.

A meeting Of Barre voters viii bt
held on Wednesday, Feb. 4, for the pur.
pose of deciding whether a new bridge
shall be constructed over Jail branch on
South Main street, what material shall
be used in case of an affirmative de.
cision on the former question and
finally, what amount of bonds shall be
issued in addition to the Sl4,500 already
authorized, if the citizens decide to
build
Sentiment in the city council is
strongly in favor OF a new bridge to
replace the covered wooden structure
which now spans the stream; and it is
believed that the sentiment is in favor
of a Barre granite structure suitable
for CARRYING the traffic for century or
more and of such design as to improve
the surroundings of that region very
greatly. 1t is exported that if the
bridge is built during the coming sum
mer the street will be altered consider
ably in order to reduce the grade of the
Jockey Hollow hill.
Consideration was given to the bridge
question at an informal meeting of the
city council last night at which were
present representatives of bridge engi-
neers. bridge constructors and City En-
gineer Lee John StOrrs, bridge engi-
neer of Concord, n. H., and another rep
resentative OF his firm were present
with plans for granite bridge of two
arches Mr. Lawes Of the New Hamp-
shire Cement Construction company
also presentedfan estimate OF the prob
able cost of granite two-arch bridge.
City Engineer Lee explained plans
which he had previously drawn for
reinforced concrete structure.
As already stated, the citizens Of
Barre have authorized the issuing of
Sl4.500 in bonds for the construction of
a bridge on South Main street, that sc-
tion having been taken some time ago;
but that amount is not nearly enough
to construct either a granite bridge or
reinforced concrete bridge. IL IS
probable that double that amount will
be required to carry the work through
during N2O. 1t viii be left to the vot-
ers to say on Feb. whether the work
shall proceed.

D'.4NNUNZIO'S CONTROL
HAS BEEN DISASTROUS
People of Fiume Have Little Food and
are Suffering from
Epidemic.

Fiume, Jan. 23.--Captain Gabrielle
D'Annunzio's control of this city has
been disastrous to the people, who have
little food and are suffering from epi-
demic according to Ricardo Zanella,
opponent of D'Annunzio, and leader OF
the Fiume peoples party. He says the
poet- soldier is afraid of assassination
and is constantly under guard, and that
his action in seizing the city has result
ed in international embarrassment for
Italy.
Signor Zanella says President Will
sons program by which the future
status Of Fiume is to be fixed is not
acceptable to the people of the city.
adding that Fiume, which is not impor-
tant to ,Iugo- Slavia, which has better
port at Spalato. must be Italian.
Captain DAnnunzio has violated ev-
ery principle OF free government says
Signor Zannella, who was formerly
mayor of the city. HE has lodged his
legion on our people, has troubled the
city for months and has commandeered
property under threats of violence. The
people are sick Of his regime. There il
little food and much disease and suf
fering while our financial situation IS
appalling. Ninety per cent of the citi-
gens are calling for D'Annunzio and his
men to leave.
Fearing for his life, D'Annunzio does
not sleep in the same place two nights
In succession. and is at all times guard
ed bf Arditi ! do not believe he will
be able to remain in Fiume more than
month A brigade Of soldiers would
be sufficient TO expel him and his
troops He has lost Fiume and has
embarrassed Italy, which will be called
upon for damages amounting TO mil
lions Fiume accepted General Badog-
Hos proposals as TO the control of the
rty, but DAnnunzio refused to abide
bv his decision. I am in favor of an
nexation to Italy. but il seems impos-
sble. and so ! am for the next best
thing. which seems to be the plan ad-
eanced by Foreign Minister Tittoni at
Paris. We cannot accept President
Wilson's plan, for we are surrounded
bv Slavs. We must retain our Italian
character and civilization, which are
threatened. The Jugo-Slavs have other
norts, such as Spalato which are more
important to them than Fiume. and
they could give way in the negotiations
