Der market, saw mills in this county
are closing down, which is bringing
about a serious condition. A large
number of people have been employed
at these plants and the closing down
at this time will surely bring a fin
ancia crisis to trade, for the reason
that the mills payroll has figured
largely in furnishing ready cash each
Saturday to its employees the greater
part Of which was spent with the
merchants Of the several towns over
the county. During this year an en-

cure a car for shipment, and the re-
suit is he has got his high priced

TO ELIMINATE HAZING.
Secretary Daniels viii Uphold AuthOri
ties At Naval Academy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Declar-
ing that the navy department would go
the limit to uphold the authorities OF
the Naval academy at Annapolis in their
efforts to stamp out hazing at the in
stitution, Secretary Daniels announced
yesterday that instructions had been ~
sued that no hazing would be tolerated,
and that any number of midshipmen
would be dismissed necessary to end the
practice.
Il would rather have the 500 men at
Annapolis who can obey orders than
2.2OO who cannot" said Mr.. Daniels.
When | came into the navy department
there were only 500 students at the aCad-
envy and although there are 2,200 now
the navy would survive if the number
were reduced to 800 again. The pres
ence of inSubOrdinate midshipmen is not
desired. Men who are being trained to
give orders must first of all learn to
obey"
No new cases of hazing have been re
ported as a result of the investigation
now being conducted under the direction
of Rear Admiral Scales Superintendent
of the academy Mr.. Daniels said. One
midshipman already has been expelled,
the secretary announced, adding that he
had entire confidence in Rear Admiral
Scales ability to handle the situation.

COAL CAR ABUSES
Interstate Commerce Commission VIII
Try to Uncover Violations of Car
Distribution Law.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Strong
measures to uncover alleged violations
Of the law in the distribution of coal cars
are to be taked soon by the interstate
commerce commission. g.
Orders calling for an investigation OIL
alleged discriIhhation in the distribution

commission officials explained yesterday
that the press Of other business had pre-
vented the beginning of the Inquiry.
The investigation, which will be made
by Chairman Clark and Commissioners
Potter and Aitchison, is expected to take
the form either of direct examination OF
the books and papers of the railroads and
shippers prior to a hearing or the hold
ing of a public hearing at which such
persons would be required to appear as
the commission might direct. The lat
ter course probably will be adopted, Of
ficials said, and date will be set, Tor
the hearing as soon as the crowded con-
dition of the commissions docket VIII
permit.
Findings of the commission, it was
explained will be published in the official
report of the result of the investigation.
ANY developments warrantlng pros
ecution would be in the hands of the. at

NEW SIGNAL WAS NEEDED.
Bryants Crossing in South Deerfield
Long a Menace.

GREENFIELD, Mass. Nov. ID
Motorists throughout this region and eS-
peCially tourists, will appreciate having a
new warning signal installed at Bryant $
crossing in South Deerficld, the railroad
grade crossing, where numerous fatal
accidents have occurred. as it is on the
main state highway route, which Is con-
Stantly travelled. and even the most eau
tiOuS drivers have always entertained fear
when passing over the tracks. 1t is not
uncommon for express trains over the
Connecticut River division of the Boston
& Maine railroad to run at high speed at
this point and without making a stop in
South Deerfield. The new signal is an
electric bell which rings constantly at the
apprOaclIs of a train and a pendulum. a

ing the word stop on the disc, when u
train is within the mile block signal sys-
TEN. When no train is coming the disc
is out of sight. There is a standard above
the equipment with electric lights that
flash red lights internationally at night
upon the approach of trains. Hereafter
anyone approaching the crossing with a
proper degree of caution cannot fail to
observe the present danger signal. The
South DeeTfeld state road is a part of
the trunk line between Greenfield and
Springfield and is used extensively by
tourists and heavy trucks travelling to
and from New York. Until such time
as the dangerous grade crossing will have
been abolished it is believed the new dan
ger signal will in a measure serve AIDE
quately.
ON this same state highway the public
is warned against careless. use of the old
double and wooden bridge which spans
the Deerfeld river at Cheapside, about
midway Between Deerfeld and Greenfield

100000 U. S. HUNTERS.
Estimate Based on Licenses Issued in
Various States.
WASHINGTON. Nov. %

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-The bio
logical survey of the department of agri-
culture has taken a census of the nimrods
of the United States and found that there
are 7,000000 of them. The estimate was
made from the number of game licenses
issued by the various states. The figures
presented by the department are:
In 1919 100000 state licenses were
issued. and in addition it is estimated that
100000 hunters are exempted under
various state provisions. The returns to
the states from licenses were approx
mately 81. 10000, all of which was ex-
pended by the states in administration of
state laws for the protection of game.
This sum permits the employment of
approximately 1000 Salaried state game
wardens and GOO fee wardens The con
gressional appropriation for federal game
warden service for protection of migratory
birds is $4,000 which permits the EN-
ployment of only - salaried wardens,"

FREIGHT RECORD BROKEN.
Pennsy Averaged $4,000 Cars Daily in
October.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 10 The
highest recorded volume of freight traffic
ever transported by the Pennsylvania
railroad system was handled during DC
tober, according to an announcement by
the company. Reports from all divisions
the statement said. show that during the
month an average of nearly 24.OO0 loaded
cars a day were forwarded to their des-
tinatiOns. This represents more than
$4,000 tons of freight a day loaded on
the Pennsylvania railroad, or accepted by
it from connecting lines.
The nearest approach to these figures
were those of October. 1919 when the
daily average of loaded cars handled
was %, 100.

cause she was. refused safe conduct from
tie city when-the Turks drove ArmenlanS
into exile in the desert.
She is rewarded now by gift OF large
estate in the outlying district, acquired
bv Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany before the
war and which he intended for occupancy
by a German governor of the city. his
scheme of conquest being dashed, the
property would have been confscated ana
the carptal5er persuaded the owner to pre-
sent it to her for relief work center.
Trades schools, mills and farm go with
the estate.
Survivors of the $4,000 Armenians
driven on the march of death SIX years
ago are returning to rehabilitate SlYas.
Miss GRAHAM has been in that country
20 years, and an instance of her Yankee
courage is furnished in her defiance OF
the Turks during the war, when she con
tinued hospital management and missions.
Even the persecution of all Christians
left her immune, because the Turks feared
that any harm done her would bring an
American force into that country.

OLD PAMPHLET REPRINTED.
''LightfOOt and 1ThmderbOlt" of Special
Interest Here.

Charles r. Crosby has issued a reprint
of LightfOot and ThunderbOlt, pamph-
let published in 1917. The original doe
ument was a confession of Michael Mar
tin. who was born in Ireland IN IG9J
and was known as Capt. LightfOOt who,
with Can't. ThunderbOlt. were celebrated
highwaymen who disappeared from Scot
land and Ireland about 1920, says the
BrattebOrO letter in the Springfield Sun
day Republican. 1t is generally believed
that DIR. John Wilson, who Tor manJ
years lived in Windham county. most of
the time in BrattleborO and Brookline,
was Capt Thunderbolt. In the comics
sion of Machael Martin he described
Capt. Thunderbolt as having certain
marks upon his person which would ldeh-
tify him. When DIR. Wilson died there
were found upon his body marks when
correspondent exactly with those described
by DR. Martin. DR.. Wilson was a very
peculiar man, and his eccentricities, com
bined with the tell-tale marks, make II
almost certain that he was the identical

son was born to the union. The remains
of Dr. Wilson are buried in the town
Lurial ground on Prospect hill and are
marked by a square, plain stone.
The action Of Mr.. Crosby in having
the reprint made is most commentaries
inasmuch as the original is very nearly
extinct. Mr.. Crosby says in part, IN the
preface: In 1877 there was a pamph-
let published, giving the history of DE-
John Wilson. 1t is almost impossible
to obtain a copy at the present time, and
he occupied such a prominent place III

THE writers father was beIboy at
the Chase tavern and as n boy remem-
bered DIR. John Wilson well, telling
many interesting stories relative to his
career at Brattleboro and BroOkline.
1T is generally understood that DR..
Wilson had scharge of building the. clrcu-
lar schoohouse that is still in existence
on Grassy brook. He built it in clrcu-
lar form so that there were no obStruc--
tions to his view. He taught school
there"
The Grassy Brook schoolhouse is in
the town of Brooklinc and is a point
Of interest to all travellers in that see
ton DR.. Wilson's abode, picture of
which is in the reprint, was for many
years where the railroad tracks are now
laid. south of the present depot near the
Connecticut river. Copies of the reprint
are being distributed by Mr.. Crosby to
his friends and will be placed in the Ii
brary and other public places.
