GETS VIEWS
FROM ELIHU ROOT
AS to the Formation of World Court
Under the Versailles
Treaty.

Marion, o., Dec. 13.-Advice on the
plan for an association of nations was
sought by President elect Harding to-
day from Elihu Root, who recently con-
ferred with European statesmen in the
formation of world court under the
Versailles league covenant.
The conference, regarded as one of
the most important to be held by Mr..
Harding in his meeting of minds =
here. is understood to have concerned
chiefly the question of how far the ma
chinery of the present league may be
used in building a world peace concert
acceptable to the United States.
Throughout the league fight, Mr..
Root advocated acceptance of the Yer.
sailles covenant with reservations and
during his world court conference
abroad, he expressed much faith in
some portions Of the covenant. Details
of his talk with Mr. Harding to-day
were not revealed, however, both he
and the president elect saying his rec
concentrations were entirely confiGen-
tial. In asking Mr. Roots advice Hard
ing is understood to have sought IN
particular for information about I'll
practical working of the league as OBJ
served by the former secretary Of state
during his visits to Europe. Cues
tions on the same subject were put by
Mr. Harding yesterday to Herbert
Hoover, who recommended that the
league machinery with changes be used
in rearing the proposed association Of
nations
The visit OF Mr.. Root again brought
his name into prominence in gossip
about the cabinet selections of the in
coming administration It has been
suggested in various quarters that Mr.
Harding might ask him to again be-
come head of the state department, but
their meeting to-day furnished no out
ward evidence to support or decredit
that report.
DIR. John Wesley Hill of New York
also had an appointment with Nj
Harding to-day to discuss the league
and other subjects.

HOLIDAY RUSH
BEGINS IN BARRE
Merchants and Clerks Were Kept Busy
Saturday by Crowds of
Shoppers.

Responding to the efforts of the mer-
chants to get their holiday displays
in readiness early, the shoppers in
Barre stores seem to have begun un-
usually early to make their purchases
for the holidays. There was gradual
picking up of business during the last
week and on Saturday the number Of
people thronging the stores almost at
tanned the proportions of the normal
rush a few days before Christmas.
To be sure, not all the people were
buyers on Saturday. Many came mere
ly to look about and get an idea of
the kind of presents they desired to
give their friends. They ranged
through the well-supplied stores and
if not actually transferring their mon
ey for the goods they made mental
reservations of the articles they in
tend to purchase during the next few
days. But there were good many
buyers in the crowds, those who real
lied that an early selection must be
followed by an early buy" if they
hope to have a chance to get just what
they wish. So, taken all in all, the
volume of business done in Barre
stores Saturday was large and indi-
ative of lively holiday trade during
the ten days remaining to Christmas.
The stores of Barre, as usual, are
supplied with large stocks of goods
from which one can select almost any
thing in the merchandise line, whether
it be useful article or something de-
signed merely for beauty. The ex-
pected rush of people from surrounding
towns--people who have learned to
know the side range Of goods carried
in Barre stores-is likely to set in in
good earnest this week; and those out
siders, together with the residents, are
bound to keep the storekeepers and
their clerks on the hustle from now I'M
til Christmas.

WRECK AT WEST HARTFORD.
Traffic Was Tied Up for Many Hours
Saturday.

Workmen got the wreck at West
Hartford, which occurred about noon
Saturday, cleaned up about midnight
but traffic was tied up so that one pas
senger train each way was detoured

and Boston and Maine railroads by the
way Of Wells River The south bound
New England States Limited left Mont
pelier between and 3 o'clock while the
north bound limited reached there, hav
ing come from Wells River. about 1880
o'clock These trips had to be made
by two engines.
The spill for that was about all it
amounted to. was the derailment Of
some u cars in the dairy train. These
were loaded with corn so that the
farmers in that section viii be able to
get quite a quantity of feedstufi, but
the railway company tried 10 save
most Of II which made the work slow
in replacing cars on the iron. The acci-
dent was not far from where the dairy
train was wrecked a few years ago,
when the cars were loaded with beef.
A train was made at Montpelier by
taking a car from the branch passenger
train which was run 20 the site, carry
ing the passengers who were To 90

tied. This did local work, coming back
and then the through passengers were
able TO 20 north on the limited. The
south bound evening train and the
north bound afternoon mail train ran

sengers walked by il and then the
trains were returned to their terminals,
the mail reaching Montpelier about
O'Clock. The night trains were not de-
layed very much.

MILL WAGES CUT
NOW IN EFFECT
Although American Wool
en- Co. Has Made No
Announcement
LAWRENCE MILLS
START MOVEMENT
And They Are Followed By
Similar Action in Other
Mill Centers

Lawrence, Mass, Dec. l3-First an
nouncement of actual reduction of tex
tile operatives wages by large mill cor
porations was made to-day by the Pa
cific mills and the Arlington mills of
this city. Their 10000 workers, consti-
tuting one half the operatives of this
textile center, were notified that re-
adjustment had been made effective
Dec. 20. In accordance with custom the
amount was not stated but it was un-
derstood to approximate 22ia per cent,
as suggested by manufacturers con
ference last week.
No word of its attitude on the ques-
tion of wage reduction came from the
American Woolen company, the four
mills Of which here employ most Of the
other half of the operatives in the city.
President Wood announced several days
ago that his directors had not consid.
cred the question at that time.
The Pacific and Arlington mills are
makers principally Of cotton cloth but
have worsted specialties under produe-
tion. The notice posted by the Pacific
mills management, which was said 70
be similar to that formulated by the
Arlington mills, follows:
"Dut to lack of orders and on az.
count of stock conditions in the tex
tile industry it has become necessary
to make readiustment in wages to
take effect Monday, Dec, % We hope
this reduction will cause merchants to
feel secure in placing their orders for
merchandise
There are several smaller mills in the
city which invariably have followed
the larger interests and which were
said TO be contemplating similar ae-
tion to-day

London, Dee l3.- British regulars
stood guard to-day over twisted and
blackened ruins left by the fires which
night and yesterday swept
virtually unchecked through the city
l.,ase Cork, Ireland. Charges are made
Fhat police auxiliaries there, maddened
BY the killing and wounding of com
rades by ambushed Sim Feiners on
Saturday loosed the fire demon on the
eity Estimates of the loss run as
high as $l5,0OO,0OO.
Hours of terror were spent by the
people of Cork during Saturday night.
The widest disorder prevailed through
put the city. 1t is said several lives
we're lost and dispatches declare two
brothers, named Delaney, were called
from their homes and shot, one of
them fatally.
Two districts of Cork were swept by
the flames. In the business section
along st. Patrick's street from Cook
), TO Maylor, hardly shop was left un-
;cathed. This was the shopping cen
ter of Cork and In untroubled times
boasted many prosperous stores. South
pf st. Patrick's street the fire ran
uncontrolled along Winthrop street
and other narrow thoroughfares as far
as Old George street. Thus an area
Of three blocks in this part of the
town was reduced to masses of debris.
Il was not in this district, however,
that the loss of the fire was centered.
The magnificent city hall of Cork, To-
rated on the southern end of Parnell
bridge, which spans the river Lee, was
.lso laid in ruins. In addition, the
Carnegie library just across Anglesa
street to the west, was burned and
the corn exchange just behind the city
hall and to the south was at least
partially destroyed. Reports say Al
bert Quoy lying along the southern
bank of the river is mass of desola-
iion.
Dispatches said Cork was quiet to-
lay and that orders had been given the
regular soldiers to shoot looters on
tight. Damaged premises have been
pluudered in some instances, it is said,
but the military is in absolute con
troll at present. Rumors relative TO
the loss of life are conflicting, vague
and conjectural.
Exact details of the events leading
up to the conhagration of Saturday
night have not as vet been received
here. Some reports tend to question
The accuracy of earlier dispatches. but
pthers repeat the story told in first
reports. All indicate that the disor
Hers and fires had a direct connection
with the attack made upon the lOrry
arrying police auxiliaries. Some news
papers are frankly skeptical of these
reports and suggest the fires might
have been caused by the explosion of
e-Sred explosives such as were found
On Saturday in Dublin. Others indi-
.ate their belief that fires were a reply
10 the establishment of martial law
IN southwestern Ireland and it is re-
marked that dispatches have not fur
nished proof that the fires were set by
