DUE TO CARElESSNESS
Bellows Falls Collision Officially Blam'
ed on Gassett's station Agent,
Conductor and nm Engineer

Brattleboro. April 16.-The cause Of the
head-on collision of a freight train and
passenger train on the Rutland railroad
two miles north of Bellows Falls on the
night of March H. when flve members
OF the train crews and hve passengers
were killed was caiclessness on the part
Of the conductor and engineer of the
freight train and the station agent at
Gassett's, according to finding by the
Vermont Public Service Commission issued
here tonight The engineer. George
Cady of Rutland. was killed in the wreck.
The conductor is Charles Y. Phillips of
Rutland and the station agent is Elmer

which shows that the crews Of the pas

at Bartonsville. but that in the orders
in triplicate handed to the freight crew

The commission makes no recommends

that the cause of the accident was the
combined carelessness of the agent at

tor and engineer of extra No. % in pro-
ceeding past Bartonsvllle station when in

NEW SOLDIER
RELIEF MEASURE
VIII sBe Presented to the Hous,
About First Of May


Washington, April 1s-Republican House
leaders to-day tentatively agreed to
present soldier relief measure to the
House about May /.
Besides carrying cash compensation the
bill will include alternative offers of
priority in land settlement, home build
ing. the extension of vocational training.
Two plans for adjusted cash compensa-
ton have been submitted by a sub-com-
mittee of the House ways and means
committee. one granting 500 for each
days service and the other authorizing
payment at the rate Of 81. Is for each day,
with no payments for the first two months
or service. Under the latter plan, mem
bers said. these exempted because their
service was less than GO days and those
serving for longer period would be
treated impartially, no payments being
authorized to anyone for the first two
months service.
1t is proposed to begin cash payment
on January I. 1921. continuing in quarterly
installments. A tax on gross sales it is
said, probably will be the plan to be
adopted by the committee to raise neces-
sary revenues. Democrats, however,
oppose this desiring to present some
legislation imposing further taxes on
excess war profits. Some republicans
also will oppose the proposal of a sales
tax.
The subcommittee considering the most
adaptable method Of raising revenues to
pay compensation has not decided on any
definite plan. Two alternatives are be-
fore the committee. the first tax on
the sale from the retailers to the con-
sumers. and the other tax on all turn
overs" that is. a tax on each resale
from the producer to the ultimate con-
sumner.
The committee is undecided as to which
plan will produce the most revenue and

quarters.
The weather conditions at present do
not favor discarding dresses. but it is
planned to wear the aprons over the
dresses. with view to some saving in
wear and tear on those garments. until
the weather is suitable for wearing the
aprons in place of dresses when the girls
will join the big apron brigade OF the

So far nothing has been done toward
forming an overall brigade in this city,
