SMUGGLING ALIENS THROUGH
VERMONT

Smuggling of liquor into the Unit
ed States from Canada through Yer
mont is not the only kind of Snug
CLING going on; the old game Of SNUG
Cling in aliene continues apace. That
is, the attempts to smuggle in aliens
are being made with more Or less reg
ularity. However, the inspectors in
the border towns of Vermont seem
to be imbued with considerable regard
for the oath of office which they took
and, in addition, they take pleasure
in playing the game against the alien
smugglers. The result is that snug
glers are being caught and halted at
various points, chiefly perhaps at New
port at the present time. The work
ought to be prosecuted with the great
est vigor lest the immigration laws OF
the United States become a mockery;
and the inspectors are to be com
mended for the vigilance they are dis
playing in meeting the wiles OF the
alien smugglers. The smugglers who
get their charges through know that
they have been through a game of
before they land the aliens in
safe territory and collect their coin for
the work, for the inspectors are max
ing it exceedingly difficult to enter by
the regular channels.

No doubt the publisher of the Mid
dlebury Register is justified in adyanc-
ing his foreign advertising rates 100
per cent, as that newspaper announced
last week it would do. Most Of the
country newspapers do not charge
what they should for their space. That
is why so many of them are on the
ragged edge, financially speaking. We
do not mean TO say that the Middle
bury Register is one of the weak news
papers financial; but there are plenty
Of them in Vermont and elsewhere. In
many cases the public looks upon the
newspapers as eleemosynsry instftu-

Bruno Laundry's Buildings Burned
Friday with Heavy Loss.

Bruno Laundry's Buildings Burned
Friday with Heavy Loss.
The house and attached barn of
Bruno Laundry on Baptist street were
burned last Friday afternoon between
2 and 4 o'clock with almost all con-
tents, including clothing, furniture,
household goods, hay and crops, 200
bushels potatoes, best horse and a sum
of money.
Mr.. Laundry. who works on the
quarries and rarely misses q day in
any kind of weather, had started the
day before, Thursday, to visit his par
ents in New Brunswick. The older
children were in school and the wife
was in the field harvesting carrots
with two younger children. She look
ed toward the house and the flames
were bursting from the roof to the
barn. Mrs. NJ. j. Mclean saw the fire
about the same time and blew the horn
to warn her husband, who was at
work on the farm. BY the time they
reached the house, it was impossible to
save anything but a bureau, a con
mode and a bed. A quantity of cloth
ing and shoes lately bought for the
comfort of the children in the coming
winter was burned with the rest, Word
was sent to the village fire depart
ment, who made a quick trip with the
fire extinguishers, but so much time
had passed that when they arrived
nothing could be saved. The loss was
partially covered by insurance in the
Union Mutual company of Montpelier,
through the Dillon agency at Gran
~iteville.
The cause of the fire can. only be
conjectured. Mrs. Laundry looked in
the stove in the kithcen before going
to the field and the contents were well
burned down. There was a high wind
at the time, and it is thought a spark
may have been carried up the chimney
and lodged on the roof, which was Of
shingles and very dry, As there had
been no rain for some time.

BEARS ENCOURAGED
BY CREDIT CONFAB
Bankers Express More Con-
fidence in Conditions-WaIl
\ Street Liquidating.

NEW YORK. May 1a--For time
the market remained steady at
about yesterdays closing prices. then
gradually sagged away for 4 loss of
about points during the morning
hours. There was no great pressure.
but sedate reaction, evidently the
result of the publicity of the Federal
Reserve Board, together with the
urge that the board is making against
non-essential credits.
Bankers general disagree with
the board that there is any good rea
son for nervousness with financial
conditions as they exist today, and
they do not hesitate to express the
view that: in the event of the rail
blockade being lifted in the imme-
diate future, conditions will be very
satisfactory.
During the great bull market that
eliminated some weeks ago on Wall
street. loans were dangerously ex-
tended, hut there the liquidation has
been of the most drastic character
and their imitation is memory. In
like manner the cleanup has ex-
tended to branch offices in other cities
where trades have been largely closed
out or those that are still open mar
gined very heavily or paid for and
these carry no threats.
No Alarm In DeciaiOn.
Thus il is that the decision of the
Federal Reserve Board i'll favor of
further advances in the rediscount
rate in the event of need. has no di
rect effect on the market. other than
encouraging some of the bears. who
recognizing the sold out position of
the market have hesitated to press
for any additional advantage to take
fresh chances.
There were no especially weak groups
in the trading this morning. practi-
cally everything going off from 2
point average for Steel Common, Car
Foundry. American Locomotive. Beet
Sugar. International Corporation.
Royal Shell and Royal Dutch. to and
even 4 points off in Mexican Petro-
leum. Pierce Arrow and Chalmers
Motor. with Pan-American Petroleum
at the maximum loss.
No Symptoms of Recovery.
Entering the noon hour the market
displayed no signs of recovery, and
yet there are many close observers of
conditions who believe that the tech
meal position of the market has been
greatly helped by the short lines put
out this morning and that if any at
tempt is made to cover before the
close of the day. the resulting action
will demonstrate this theory.
Liberties Again Weak.
The first and seconds As and the
victory 3S,- tax free issue made new
lows. and sentiment generally con-
ton in the liberty issues. as does the
entire bond market.
A block of s350.000 fourth 4Ls came
on the market at $3.50. while the sec
ond ~ sold at S2.40. presenting lows
in both cases.
The weakness and throwing over of
large blocks of these bonds by cor
porations needing the cash. has ad-
versely affected the general bond
market also.

BUILDING UP THE RAILROADS.

Even in these days Of talking in billions $4,000 600
advanced to the rrcsds for the purpose of purchasing
cas and locomotives locks like big sIn but in fact
it is but small part of what competent railroad men
say the roads must expend for new equipment and i'm
if they to the needs of the country
This advanced in order to expedite the movement
Of freight the roads themselves being unable present
to expend much money 1t is to be taken from the
volying fund Of $3OoOOO0OO appropriated in the rail-
road bill The remainder Of the fund is be used
maturing obligations of the roads and to provide fac
ties for terminal handling of freight in order to permit
its rapid movement and relieve the prevailing and
almost paralyzing congestion.
This action Of the government is taken as an emer-
gent necessity because the roads the very life arer
les Of the country and the prosperity Of all the people
depends upon their efficient operation We had several
demonstrations Of that fact when strikes have but par
TALLY blocked the roads Every mans job depends upon
the operation Of the railroads. More than anybody else
the wageearner lives by serance of the railroads. with
out whose operation he would both lose his wages and be
deprived of food 1t is this universally of dependence
of the country upon transportation which supplies the
only good argument for public ownership of its facilities
and if the people convinced that better service would
result from such ownership they would speedily adopt it.
Whatever demonstration have had that point has
not been encouraging The present congestion of freight
and inefcency of the lines is largely result of two
years Of operation and permitted decoration
The great transportation problem is to put the railroads
back into private hands, with regulation and supervision
producing greater coordination ard unity of operation
What the country vitality needs is rapid and solid build
ing up of its transportation facilities to point where
they up to the growing needs of industrial
end commercial life The cost is of less Importance than
efficiency.
