Help Situation - Criticises
Mayors Utterances.

BOSTON, July 22-President William
NJ Wood of the American Woolen com
pany today declined to meet Mayor
White and the city council of Lawrence to
discuss the reason for closing the com
pany's mills there and the possibility for
an early re-opening- The company head
in a letter to the mayor said he had al
ready written him fully on the subject.
President Wood added II do not readily
see how an interview with the council of
the city of Lawrence or with you can be
of any assistance in controlling the eco
nomic conditions which compelled the
shut down or in any other respect serve
a useful purpose"
Il am confirmed in this conclusion by
several utterances of yours which have
appeared in the newspapers and which
do not seem to me to approach this Inn,

poured into William Jennings Bryan's
office here today urging him to accept the
Prohibition party nomination for Presi-
dent. They came from all parts of the
country and the dominant key note in all

Hall for Drill Purposes.

Arrangements were made this forenoon
whereby the newly organized Company
I, Vermont National Guard, will use the
Hooker house at the corner of Main and
High streets for headquarters for the
present. Later, after ID. r. McElhiny
vaeates the Goodhue house on Main
street the company will use that house
for headquarters. The Hooker house is
owned by John B. Manley and the Good
hue house by the Dunham Brothers Co,
Mr.. McElhiny expects to yaeate the
Goodhue house this fall.
The company will hold outdoor drills
until cold weather comes, unless ar
rangements are made for quarters for
indoor drilling. 1t is hoped that ar
rangements can be made for the use of
Festival hall, and the company is en-
couraged to think that the state will
erect an armory here when the next ap-
preparation is available.
Adit. Gen. II. T. johnson of Montpelier
and Lieut. Col. Easton r. Gibson of the
regular army came here yesterday, and
last evening Lieut.. Col. Gibson gave the
new Company I federal inspection in
Festival hall Two men who had applied
for enlistment, asked to be excused, and
their wish was granted. They were Pri-
vate sylvia A. Gagnon and Private Clar-
ence o. Rinfret The rest of the com
pany, so officers and men, were accepted.
Lieut.. Col Gibson eomplimented the men
on their fine physical condition and gen
eral appearance.
While here Adjt. Gen. johnson and
Lieut.. Col. Gibson discussed with the
local officers the question of q state ar
mory 1t was brought out that while
Springfield and Northfield have applica
tions ahead of Brattleboro for an armory
neither of those places has militia
company and that Brattleboro's need for
an armory is greater than that of either
of the other places. As it is the policy
of the state to erect armories in the or
der of their greatest need the next one
probably will be erected here. No appro
priation will be available, however, until
July / of next year. -
Second Lieut. Edward G. Vail is the
recruiting officer of the company, and
any young men wishing to enlist should
communicate with him at once so as to
be able to make the trip to muster at

stroyed the Colonial house belonging TO

Mortified and East Northfield fire de-
partments responded. A shed which con-
neeted the house and barn was demol-
ished, thereby saving the barn.
The house. which was one of the oldest
on the street and which always had been
kept in excellent condition, contained
much antique furniture, some of which
was saved. Mr. Wright's brother and his
housekeeper, Miss Kenney, lived with
him. The house was only short distance
from the Doolittle colonial house which
was burned three weeks ago.
