WALTER R. WHITE
OUT FOR SENATOR

The race for the nomination for
county state senator has received an
other entry in the person of Walter R,
White of Panton. Mr. White is in
the field because his friends have quite
forced him into the bid for the nomi-
nation For a long time he held out
against their wishes but their impor-
tunity finally won out. He has been
successful farmer and has made a
name for himself as an organizer and
administrator both in public office and
in the many war drives, most of which
he engineered personally to success.
His very modest appeal to the notice
of the voters is as follows
The voters of Addison county
Having been persistently urged by
many friends to become a candidate
for the office of senator from Addison
county l have decided to enter the
contest for nomination. at the Septem-
Der primaries and do hereby announce
my candidacy for the above-named
office. Not claiming any superior quail
iications l will say that l have repre-
sented the town of Panton twice in
the sessions of 1898 and 1899 and in
1917 and 1918. Should | be elected l
assure you l will use my best efforts
to forward and safeguard your in
terests. (Signed Walter R. White.

MARBLE BLOCK CRUSHES
LABORER'S ANKLE
George Alburt Hurt Unloading 200
Pounds of Stone

When a block of marble weighing
200 pounds slipped as he was unload
ing it, George Alburt, an Italian la
borer in the employ of the Middle
bury branch of the Vermont Marble
Company, had his right ankle badly
crushed Wednesday afternoon at 8
o'clock He was taken to the office of
DR.. S. S Eddy where a plaster cast
was placed on the injured foot He
later returned to his home on Sey-

The accident happened when Alburt
attempted to remove the 200 pound
block from the small cars used at the
mill for the transportation of the stone
from one department to another The
block that fell on Alburt's ankle had
just before been sawed and had been
taken to the rubbing bed for further
cutting. Alburt, instead of employing
the crane for the removal of the
block from the car to hand truck
thought to handle it by himself. When
he tipped it preparatory to taking it
off the car he pulled it too near the
edge of the car before he had wheeled
his truck into position to receive it
as it fell 1t landed on his ankle.
The injured man was moved to the
office and Dr. S. S. Eddy, the mill
physician, summoned The doctor as
sisted by Noble Brooks and Felix
Cole, got him into an automobile and
hurried him to his own office, where he
dressed the injury and applied plas-
ter cast 1t will be several weeks be-
fore Alburt will be able to return to
his work.

THIEF GOT COLLEGE
PLATINUM SUPPLY

a new type of organized thieving
which in scope rivals the great auto
mobile thefts came to light last Mon
day when it was made known that
Middlebury college laboratory and the
laboratories of colleges in all parts of
the country had been systematically
robbed of their valuable platinum sup
ply and equipment
Middleburys loss, while complete,
did not amount to more than $4,000,
which is nevertheless unusually large
for a college Of its size No clue has
been obtained of the thief. The au-
thorites did not make an announce
ment of the theft until the secret was
published by Harvard, for thinking that
the theft had been the work of stu
dent the matter was guarded closely
in the expectation of detecting the
culprit. 1t is now generally consider
ed that the local theft was the work
Of a professional gang of platinum
crooks, since many other college labora-
tories were similarly pilfered The
police of the principal cities east of
the Mississippi River were early noti-
fed, as well as the principal dealers in
platinum.
The theft took place in the latter
part of June, 1919 Professor P. C.
Voter, of the Chemistry department,
had locked the platinum in his desk
in his private office, before going to Mt.
Pleiad Lodge for his vacation. Pro-
fessor A. R. Davis of the same depart
ment, the only other person with key
to the desk left about the same time
to attend the Commencement exercises
at Wesleyan College, in Middletown,
Conn. Prof Voters office was locked
as was the main entrance to the chem
istry building.
1t is thought that the robbery took
place while Professor Davis was in
Middletown On his return at the be-
ginning of the Summer Session, he went
to the desk and opened the little cup
board in which the platinum had been
deposited He then discovered the
loss The metal had been in the form
Of apparatus crucibles, wire and foil
On account of its acid resisting pro-
perties it is used in experiments where
no other metal could be employed.
Aside from its value in the laboratory,
platinum is a favorite in high priced
jewelry, having preference over even
gold in many instances 1t is also em-
ployed in the manufacture of sulphuric

GREEN APPLE BRINGS YOUNG
MAN IN SHADOW OF JAIL
Officer Kenworthy Will Not Act as
Target While in Performance of Duty

Traffic Officer John Kenworthy is
determined not to be trihed with by
irresponsible youngsters or by youths
old enough to know better than to
play pranks upon a Guardian of the
Peace. One, on Monday, thought to
joke at the expense of Mr.. Kenworthy,
but he quickly rued the impulse to
make him a target for a green apple.
Officer Kenworthy, who in addition to
being one of the directors of traffic
extraordinary since the tearing up of
Main street, is also a deputy state fire
warden and keeper of the pound,
brushed up his badges and cleared for
action. = y Within the shadow of the
lookup the young man, taken aghast
at the officers earnestness, begged for
mercy and was released on a fervent
promise of good behavior and future
respect for authority.
