HOPE TO GET GRANITE BUSINESS
Brattleboro Men are Interested in the
West Dummerston Quarries.

Brattleboro, April l7.-Within a
short time an effort will be made to
interest local capital TO acquire the
West Dummerston granite quarry,
which is now owned by the w. n. Flynt
Granite Co. of Monson, Mass.
After the death of the general man
ager of the Flynt Co. year or more
ago. some Brattleboro men, who had
realized the possibilities for the bene-
fit of Brattieboro in developing the
auarries, entered into an arrangement
whereby they secured an option on the
property when the title passed to the
Flynt Co. from the George i. Lyons
Granite Co. of West Dummerston.
The Lyons Co was heavily indebted
10 the Fiynt Co.. the amount of the in
debtedness being upwards OF s70,o0o,
and in an action in county court at the
last September term the TITLE to the
property was acquired by the Flynt Co.
for the amount of the Indebtedness.
A renewal of activities in the line of
development Of the quarry is now In
contemplation and it is very much TO
be desired that this be done in such a
way thar large benefits will accrue TO

NEW ENGLAND
NEEDS COAL
A Continuance of Railroad
Schedules and Indus
tries in Jeopardy
MUST HAVE RELIEF
BY NEXT MONDAY
More Industrial Plants Are
Closed To-day Because
Of the Shortage

Boston, April l7.-Coal was the
prime requisite to-day of New Eng
lands railroads and industries. Con-
tinuance of present railroad passenger
schedules and the operation of numer-
Gus industrial establishments depended
upon the amount of coal arriving in
this section by Monday. Railroad Of
ficials would make no promises OF i'm
mediate relief.
The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad announced that it would
make drastic cuts in passenger service
on Monday unless substantial
amount of coal came through New
England gateways before that time.
The Boston & Maine system is con-
fiscating commercial coal in transit as
an alternative to an immediate reduc-
ton in passenger schedules.
More industrial plants were closed
to-day, due in most instances to lack OF
fuel. Some, however, were unable to
procure sufficient quantities of raw ma
terials to continue operation and could
not make long haul shipments of man
ufactured products.
The railroads are able to maintain
almost normal local freight service but
cannot move many shipments in or out
of New England gateways, due to the
strike conditions In other states
The strike of marine clerks employed
by the New England Steamship com
pany, a subsidiary of the New Haven,
complicated the situation. The New
Haven has declared an embargo on all
freight by steamers between New Ha-
ven and New York, thus closing an
other point of entry into New England.
Steamship workers at Newport have
Joined those already out at dozen
coast cities.
Food supply of the region is reported
as still sufficient for some days. The
state commission on necessaries OF life
has commenced an investigation here
OF unwarranted increases in the price
OF food as result of the falling off in
receipts.
Mail service was improved on all
roads to-day, but there remained an
accumulation of parcel post matter of
various points. Express service also
was better, although cars were still be-
ing handled as part of passenger trains.
The state has Joined the ranks OF
shippers who were using motor trucks
during the present emergency. Ballots
for the presidential primaries on April
q were being distributed to various
centers by an organized motor truck
service, as the express companies would
not guarantee deliveries. A detail OF
state guards accompanied each truck.

"ovERALLsn IDEA SPREADING.
People are Vowing to Wear Denim Til
Clothing Prices Drop.

Kansas City, Mo-, April l6.--The
"overalls club" movement. intended as
a protest against high prices of cloth
ing, is spreading rapidly throughout
the southwest, according to reports
received here.
Dispatches said clubs had been
formed in numerous places in Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkan-
sas.
The movement In Missouri began at
jefferson City, where State House Off
Gals and employees are signing pledges
to wear denim until clothing prices
fall. Federal employees, both men and
women, at Wichita, joined by 10 en-
ployes of the livestock exchange, re.
ported an overall club, with the move
ment spreading through the Wichita
high schools.
In announcing organization of an
overalls club at Kansas university,
Chancellor Frank Strong said he would
lead the membership among the young
men and that Mrs. Strong would set
an example for the young women by
adopting the cottage apron as the APP
proved garb for both home and street
wear.
The movement in Oklahma is Of
state wide proportions, Oklahoma City
reported
Dallas and Amerillo, Tex, and Pine
Bluff and Hot Springs, Ark, reported
formation of clubs.

velop it for the benefit of some other
community.
Experts have looked over the prop
erty and say that for building pur-
poses, mausoleums and other uses TO
which hammered stone may be put,
there is no better granite outdoors than
the West Dummerston granite. Out
side parties are DESTROYS of acquiring
the deposits, but it is hoped that the
development can be financed by Brat
tleboro capital.
This would mean the construction Of
granite cutting sheds in Brattleboro
and tho shipping of rough quarried
stones here to be finished, and it would
bring TO Brattleboro large number OF
skilled men, who would receive high
wages.
The deposit at West Dummerston o
inexhaustible and the facilities fT
bringing the quarried product to Brat
tleboro are far superior to those IN
many places which have experienced
great benefits from their proximity to
quarries.

FUGITIVE TRIED TO ENLIST.
But Will Be Taken Back to the In
dustrial School.

Burlington, April l7.-William H.
Hardman, aged Is years, was appre-
hended Yesterday at the local navy re-
cruiting station by the police with the
aid of Chief Petty Officers Maynard
and Frazier Hartman escaped Thurs.
day evening from the state industrial
school at Vergennes.
Hartman came to the local navy re-
cruting station early in the morning
and stated that he wished to enlist
in the navy in the electrical branch OF
the service. The two petty officers on
duty at the station filled out the nee
essarv blanks for enlistment for the
lad and while this was being done and
a preliminary physical examination be-
ing held telephone call was received
by Chief Petty Officer Frazier from
Vergennes giving the lads description
and asking the men to be on the look
ont for him as the authorities at Yer
gennes thought that he would try to
enlist in the navy. The applicant at
the recruiting station fitted the de-
scription of the boy in question and the
authorities in Vergennes asked the ON
GERS to turn him over TO the police IN
the city for safe keeping until a man
could be sent for him from Vergennes.
Hartman told the recruiting officer
that he had been working in the rail-
road shops of the Boston & Maine rail-
road at Bellows Falls and that his
home was in Springfield. Later when
he found that he was to be returned to
Vergennes he confessed to his escape
1t seems that the boy was snt to Yer
gennes from Springfield some time ago

Are Working Out for the Baseball

Candidates.

Though the Lincoln campus is triile

Nevertheless Prin. Lyman G. Hunt feels
confident that Spaulding will be repre-
sented by a standard Spaulding team
| in baseball, which means that an or.
ganization equal to any high school
team in the state can be whipped from
the material appearing for practice
each afternoon.
| William Johnston, well known 10
! baseball fans of Barre and vicinity by
his many appearances with the teams
of the Barre Athletic club and those OF
the Italian Athletic club of a few
years ago, has consented to coach the
team with the assistance OF William
| Stuart.
The aspirants for the pitching stan
are numerous, five being in line Tor the
position. OF this number three are
southpaws and two right-handers. Cal
derara, right handler, is the most ex-
perienced pitcher of the group, having
| twirled in numerous games during the
past two years. Orpheus Blzzozero,
another right handler, is also doing con-
spcuous work in the practice. Rob

southpaws, both of whom have good
form in the workouts.

hard to become the regular backstop
OF the season. The four players OF the

Jimmy Greig, center fielder and q
heavy hitter, Calderara, who pitched
and played shortstop last year, the Ty
