TWO BENNINGTON GIRLS
DIE IN AUTO CRASH
Agnes Collamer and Mae {. Finn In.
stanily Killed Near Raymerto~ \.
u Early Sunday Morning. Others
OF Party in Hospital.

As the result Of an automobile acci
dent early Sunday morning about sew
en- miles north Of Troy on the Troy
Hoosick Falls road two young womeI
residents Of Bennington were instantly
killed, an Adams, Mass, man die,
later in the Samaritan Hospital and q
third young woman living in Benning-
ton is at the same institution with &
compound fracture Of the right arm
and numerous bruises. The dead are
Miss Agnes Collamer, %, Of 204
Grove street, Bennington.
Miss Mae c. Finn, 26, Of 204 Grove
street, Bennington.
George Haase, "a, Adams, Mass.
The injured are:
Miss Minnie Hurley, %, Of POI Park
street, Bennington.
Victor Laporte, 30, Adams, Mass.
Francis LaBatt, 30 Adams, Mass.
The accident happened shortly after
4 o'clock near the village of Raymer-
town, a short distance from Troy on
the highway to Bennington. After
leaving the highway, the car, a seven
Hudson, hurdled a wide
ditch, mounted a bank and crashed in
to a tree. After striking the tree the
car overturned. That the car was
travelling at high rate of speed was
evident by the damage sustained by
the vehicle and the fact that the top
Of the tree was snapped off cbout
dozen feet from the ground. Appar-
entity the radiator was wrenched away
and thrown against the windshield as
il was found on the front seat One
theory is that the terrible injuries
sustained by Miss Finn and Miss Coll
amer are due to the fact that they
we're thrown against the radiator by
The terrific impact.
Haase died at the hospital at 1880
o'clock. When the officials arrived
hey found the car a complete wreck.
There was every evidence that the
vehicle was travelling at a high rate
IF speed The speedometer had stop
ped at 79 Miss Hurley after she had
been attended at the hospital and was
able TO talk said that the car was run
ring very rapidly. The party had re-
NAMED longer in Troy than the mem
,ers had originally intended and the
adams men were anxious TO reach
lome before daylight. Relatives and
rends of Miss Collamer visited Miss
hurley at the hospital Sunday after
loon and found the young woman as
comfortable as could be expected.

DECLARATION OF INDEPEND-
ENCE AND AMERICAN CONSTI-
TUITION IN CONGRESSIONAL
LIBRARY.

Washington, Dec. THE originals
Of the Declaration Of independence
and the Constitution Of the United
States have been transferred from the
State department TO the Library of
Congress upon order of President
Harding. This order was issued upon
the recommendation Of Secretary of
State Hughes, because the State De
partment building is subject to fire
risk and, moreover, it has no exhibi-
tion room in which to place such docu-
ments for the benefit of the visiting
public. Thousands Of Americans are
annually expressing a desire to see
these two most valuable documents
connected with the history Of the
American government.
Both the documents were deposited
with the State department September
Is, 1889, and they have been officially
in the custody Of the Secretary Of
State ever since. 1t appears from
Secretary Of State Hughes letter TO
the President, recommending that
they be transferred TO the care of the
Congressional Library, that these doc
uments have experienced a rather pre-
carious existence at times. On Aug
ust 20, 1914, just before the capture Of
Washington by the British, these doc
uments, together with other very val
uably records, were spirited away
from Washington and hidden in an
grist mill on the Virginia
side OF the Potomac River about two
miles above what is now Georgetown.
A few days later all Of these papers
were moved 10 Leesburg, Virginia,
twenty-five miles further Up the river,
and placed in an empty house, where
they remained hidden until the British
had left Washington and the British
feet had left the Chesapeake Bay. For

state headquarters Of the Ameri-
can Legion for the Department Of Yer
mont will be moved from Montpelier
to Burlington sometime during this
week" stated Allen Fletcher, depart
ment adjutant Of the Legion, recently.
Mr.. Fletcher said that for the present
the State headquarters Of the ex-sol-
diers' organization would be located
with the Burlington office Of the Unit
ed States Veterans Bureau at 1877 ST.
Paul street. 1t is proposed, however,
that If a desirable location can be
found within short time to have the
headquarters of the Legion in separate
Offices. The State executive commit
tee has decided TO hold its monthly
meetings in Burlington. II is probabl
that 'heseSleeting, will be held in the
club rooms Of the Burlington Post in
the Hayward building on Main street,
which have been offered the State body
for this purpose. The executive COM
mittee meets the first Friday Of every
month, although il is probable that no
meeting will be held in January, owing
TO the fact that conference of COM
manders and adjutants for the several
posts of the organization in the State
will be held in Burlington either the
last part Of January or first Of Feb
ruary The executive committee will
probably meet with the commanders
and adjutants and this will do away
with the necessity Of calling a special
meeting of the committee.
