change the mature, character, mutual re-
lation or interest of corporation.

all winter, but the conditions which
prevailed Friday and Saturday made
the worst possible combination, the
watersoaked snow freezing to the
tracks.
Yesterday morning it became known
that Manager w. FL. Richardson felt
thaw before undertaking to open the
road. West Brattlebore people felt
that they did not want to wait for
thaw, and the result was that over 100
persons went to the assistance of the
road and from 100 to o clock labored
with pick and shovel, opening the line
from the Centerville car barn to a
point opposite j. L. Stockwell's store
The Twin State company supplied cof
fee for the workers and the women of
the village provided a generous amount
of eatables. The luncheon was pre-
| pared in the Congregational church, the
pastor of which was one of those who
welded shovel.
This morning about % volunteers
| worked down Western avenue, cover
| ing a substantial distance. Big two
horse teams made trips between the
two villages early this morning, carry
| ing school children and employees of
various downtown concerns.
| Saturdays storm left the road in
! such condition that unless its regular
| force is augmented there is no telling
when service viii be established At
| many points the rails are covered with
| several inches of ice beneath the snow
| making breaking by pillow an impos-
| sibility
The advantages of having trolley
| service re-opened as soon as possible
is obvious. In addition to the EN-.
ployes and school children who use the
line daily it accommodates large mum
| Der of persons who come to the trad
| ing section to shop, and its cessation
| will be felt, indirectly at least, by ev,
| erv merchant on the street
Road Commissioner C.. j. DUDE and a
force of men were out breaking roads al
day yesterday with the snow roller
drawn by six horses, and they broke out
the worst places so that the workmer
could reach the factories today. On the
West Dummerston road they encountered
four feet of water near the Wadleigf
place, creek having become clogged anc
having overlooked its banks. In trying
TO avoid this stretch of road the pole Of
the snow roller was broken, but today re
pairs were made and the road was broker
to the Dummerston line. Beyond Their,

nland at Portsmouth.

PORTSMOUTH. March 8.-Lieuten-
ant Commander Thomas Mott Osborne
today announced that he had again
forwarded his resignation as command
ant Of the naval prison here and from
the navy to Secretary Daniels.
Commander Osborne withdrew q pre-
vious request for release pending de-
termination of charges against his con
duet of the prison which Assistant Sec
rotary Roosevelt declared last week TO
be unfounded.
In reciting the record of his two and
one half years command, Mr. Osborne
said that 6.S44 prisoners passed
through the institution, of whom 1904
were returned to service. The only
friction developed during his admin
istration, he said, came not from the
prisoners but from politicians on the
outside.

Take Part in Investigation. -.

WASHINGTON, March S-Virtuai de-
cision has been reached by the American
government, it is said, to permit resump-
ton of trade relations with Soviet Russia

outlined definite policy.
The first step by the allies toward
dealing commercially with Russia, since
the decision on Jan. II to permit trade
with the Russian cooperative societies,
was the announcement last week of the
appointment of a commission to be sent
there to study the situation and report to
the league of nations council Whether
the United States will act upon the invi-
tation of the allies to send representa-
tive, as yet is uncertain, but in any event
it is believed this government will act as
