Start Independent
County Ticket

A number of the business mer OF
the county, including several ex-ser-
vice men have united in support of
Samuel E. Richardson, Esq, and Ar
thur l.. Graves, Esq, to run on an
independent ticket against the nres-
ent States Attorney and the present
Judge of Probate. Their claim for
Independent votes regardless of par
ty affiliations is based on the fact
that the incumbent of the Office of
States ATTORNEY has held that posi-
ton for four years which is as long
as any States Attorney has ever held
this office in this county. In regard
to the probate judgeship it is claim
ed that half a dozen lawyers sat
around table and placed the pres
ent incumbent in office. The Inde-
pendent Party will appeal to the vot-
ers to choose a lawyer of recognized
standing for the judgeship and have
selected Mr.. Graves as their candi-
date.

JURY DISACREES
INCASE& WEST
CHARLES1GNAN
Louis Davidson Shows Tha1
Ford Car Steering Gear
Was Defective

Orleans County Municipal Court
convened yesterday afternoon be-
fore Judge w. N. Wright of Barton
to consider the case of State VS..
Louis Davidson of West Charleston,
charged with operating an automobile
on the public highway between Derby
Center and Derby Line while under
the Influence of liquor on the night
of Sept. 10 or the early morning of
Sept. II, 1919. The complaint was
filed four days after the date of the
alleged offense, but the case has been
repeatedly postponed. The case was
tried before a jury with States At
torney Frank b. Thompson conduct
ing the prosecution and Attorneys
Smith and Pierce appearing as coun-
sci for the respondent. After three
hour trial, the jury debated for an
hour and disagreed. The were dis
missed by Judge Wright at few
minutes of six o'clock.
The State presented three witness
es, B. E. Renihan, Charles c. Hunt,
and Deputy Sheriff E. H. Crosby, all
OF Derby Line. The meat of their
testimony was to the effect that on
the night mentioned in the complaint,
they, with Mr.. Forsythe, Customs
Officer at Derby Line, were riding
from Newport to Derby Line, and
that after they had passed Derby
Center, they were almost run into by
a Ford car even after they had driv-
en- into the ditch. They turned around
and pursued the Ford, stopDed it and
found the respondent to be driving
it. They searched the car but found
no liquor of any. kind, but Mr.. Da-
wilson, who got out of the car,
-sanellea-ef4ieser and seemed to be
under its influence, they testified.
They sent him home with his COM
panion, Walter Geroux, also of
West Charleston.
The defense showed that the re-
spondent had that day been to the fair
at Richmond, P O.; that the Ford
car had been in bad shape and had
been made worse by the bad roads
which they struck; that the steering
gear fdQ DeeH III peIllouS coHul-
ton and that the car wobbled back
and forth across the road in spite of
the drivers best efforts. They showed
that Mr.. Davidson had not been in
toxicated and had not taken a drink
that day, most of which he spent in
the company of his wife. Testimony
was given to show that after his ar

JAMES O'NEIL, NOTED

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, Aug. 10
James O'Neill, the actor, died at a
hospital here early TODAY. He had
been i'll for two months at the hospi-
tai suffering from an internal dis
order. His wife and sons were at the
bedside. He was 70 years of age. Mr..
O'Neill was left in a weakened condi-
ton nearly two years ago after he
wass truck b.. an automobile in New
York. When his health began to fail
last spring he was sent to hospital
in New York. After <eavir" that in
stitution he suffered relapse and
was brought here.

is very successfully managed by John
T. King, a gentleman who not only
understands paper making, but who
| is vitally interested in maintaining
the most cordial relations with his
employees and is enthusiastic over the
future of Fitzdale and its develop
ment.
The present extensive building OPP
erations are carried on without any
firm of contractors and some idea Of
the extent may be obtained b. seeing
800 men employed on the new
buildings. Besides a large unde-
veloped water power the corporation
gets from the dam above the plant
5000 horse power. The Connecticut
river varies in its flow so much that
this is not a constant power, and a
supplementary steam power is being in
stalled in the new power house. This
is large brick building about 100
feet square above which towers big
chimney 225 feet high. This will fur
nish 5000 horse power to the plant
and its boilers will consume 25,000
tons of soft coal every year. The
chimney is one of the latest in Yer
mont.
The present paper mill has one
large machine which produces AZ
tons of newsprint every "a hours and
80 tons of pulp wood are ground up
daily to produce the paper which is
delivered at the other end of the
building in big rolls. The addition to
the paper mill will have much larg-
Ell paper machine and a capacity of
Go tons of paper dav. 1t is ex-
pected that this addition will be in
operation in the spring. The COM
pany gets some of their pulpwood
from their own forests and the rest
from the country around the sources
of the Connecticut river. Their drive
is just coming into the mill and
through Manager Kings foresight
there is years supnl'- of pulpwood
on hand. This mill employs over 100
men who work on three hour shifts
Since the war the company has
built a large paper bag mill where
60 men and women are now employ
ed. The present factory is turning out
100000 bags a day and this output
will be increased as the employees be-

Greatly aided by the excellent ms

Much is heard nowadays about
what Mr.. Hartness has done for the
town of Springfield. To see real
1920 industrial development one
should 90 to Fitzdale and see what
the big paper firm of |. Gilman &
Co. of No. 86-88 Hudson street, New
York City, owners of the Fitzdale
Paper Co., have accomplished in
Fitzdale.
A model housinp scheme has been
developed which might we'll be taken
as a pattern for the many industrial
towns of Vermont where it is claim
ed that houses cannot be built now.
In Fitzdale, under John F. King, the
resident manager, they are building
model homes for employees at the rate
of 80 at q time. The work is not
even doled out to contractors. Along
with the building of a great power
house, a complete new unit OF big
paper mill and a paper bag factory,
they are building houses that are
little palaces of comfort and con-
venience.
The housing proposition is the
result of most careful planning with
a vision of u satisfied groun of en-
ployees living in comfortable homes
and surrounded with all that is best
in community life. Ten attractive
houses have been finished this season
and 80 new houses are under con-
struction. Eventually there will be
100 of these attractive homes, built
from the plans of the United States
Housing corporations, with some
notifications. The houses contain
hardwood floors, cement cellars, a
bathroom, electric lights, kitchen
range and will be warmed by one
pipe heaters. The plans for this
growing village also include a COM
munity house with an auditorium,
bowling alley and other attractions
for the workmen and their families
A resident doctor is now at Fitzdale,
hospital unit. and the services of a
trained nurse have been engaged An
electric light, water and sewer system
have been installed.
The FitZdale Paper Company is
the outgrowth of a small paper mill
that was built by George Fl .Fitzger-
aid and the late George N. Dale of
Island Pond. In 19l0thi property was
taken over by the new corporation
which is capitalized at 100000 and
