CLARENCE. l.. BRIGHAM.
Friend of Late Musician Recalls Incl
dents of His Life,

4 friend of the late Clarence l.. Brig
ham has written a sincere tribute to the
memory of the dead musician who for
many years was a resident of Brattle-
borg. 1t, il reprinted herewith, from the
Greenfield Gazette:
In the death of Clarence l.. Brigham.
Western Massachusetts loses a musician
of more than average ability. As an in
structor Of young musicians he was i'm q
class by himself, being especially good in
teaching yaung people to read music. His
work in the schools of auckland Cole
rain and Shelburne has been very sue
cessful, and the writer doubts if his place
can ever be completely filed.
As u band director and instructor of
young players he had few equals. The
writer has known him and been asso-
ciated with him for 10 years, and can
think of many instances of his versatility
At one time the ShelhuFne Falls band
was engaged to play at Orange, and had
plccolo player coming from Brattleboro.
VT, to play with them. On arriving at
the station, it came out that our mana
ger had forgotten the march books for
this instrument. Mr. Brigham disap-
peared and no one knew where. but on
arriving at Orange he produced manu-
script copies of the piccolo parts for the
marches we were TO use on parade. He
wrote these parts in the baggage car be-
tween Shelburne Falls and Orange. This

Perhaps the reason why the city mar
kets prefer Vermont apples in barrels
instead of boxes is because of the grow
ing belief on the part of the public that
apples packed de luxe in lined boxes with
other filigree work attached are paid for
in proportion to the adornments. But
there can be no denying that apples
packed in the de luxe setting do look
well, even though like a million dollars.

BULL ATTACKS
A. J.DUNTON
OF SHEFFIELD
Farmer Nearly Killed by
Savage Attacks. of En-
ragged Animal

A. J. Dunton, well known
Sheffield farmer, was seriously and
perhaps fatally hurt Monday
morning while going after his
cows when he was savagely at
tackled by large Holsteim bull.
The bull had been considered very
docile, but became suddenly en-
ragged and charged on Mr.. Dunton,
throwing him down. His young
son, Robert, was with his father
at the time and put up most
heroic fight. Mr.. Dunton, fearing
his son would be killed, advised
him to run for help. The boy had
to run quite a distance to get word
to George Delworth. The latter
took pitchfork and started for
the spot. In the meantime the bull
continued its fierce attacks upon
Mr.. Dunton, rolling him over and
over on the ground After a des-
perate fight the bull was driven off
and Mr.. Dunton was taken to his
home. He is in a very serious con-
dition at present.

ADDED TO
HOSPITAL FUND
Highly Successful Weeks
Drive Assures Newport
Fine In stitutiOn

"The hospital for Orleans coun-
ty is fast approaching a reality !,
said Col. Curtis S. Emery, chair
man of the building fund organi-
zation, Monday evening at the
highly successful termination Of
the drive for funds. Carried on
under the personal supervision OF
Sylvanus M. Bard of the National
Service Associates, the ave,
given added impetus bv the hearty
cooperation Of city and county So
licitors, resulted in the pledging of
$21,99.35-the fruit Of exactly one
weeks canvassing. In addition to
the sum Of money already pledged
to the building fund organization,
the total of 3,054.85 is reached.
This amount will be available for
the actual building and for the
equipment of the hospital.
The generosity of towns outside
of Newport City has been unusual
and this fact NAV prompt the trus-
tees to change the name Of the
proposed institution from Newport
City Hospital to Orleans County
Hospital. This was the hope eX
pressed by Col. Emery, who pre-
sided at the final meeting Of the
campaign captains and their nu-
merous city and county com
mittees at the Armory on Monday
evening. The amount pledged
by people in Orleans county out
side of Newport totaled S7,465.7 IS.
The amount contributed by people
in Newport City has totaled
$44,333.
Ex.-Gov. Josiah Grout announc-
ed a bequest of $4,000 from the
will of the late Honorable Charles

ing in silence upon receipt of the
announcement. In speaking for the
trustees, Ex.-Gov. Grout said:
"The late Honorable Charles A.
Prouty, NeWport'S most dlStln-
guished citizen, in his last will and
testament, from the kindness of his
heart, generosity of his nature and
a just and wise conception of the
hospital cause, bequeathed to the
Hospital legacy in the sum of
$4,000, which. in due time, will be
available for building purposes.

LONDON, July 19-Eamonn de
Valera and his colleagues are
marking time in anticipation of the
renewal of the conference with
Lloyd George Thursday morning.
1t is reported that by that time the
prime minister will have certain
propositions to present to the Irish
leader which will have received the
approval of the British cabinet.
The spokesman of the Irish uele-
gates today characterized their at
titude as "still not unhopeful"
with reference to last nights state
ment to the press of Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier. The
spokesmen said, at is not ques-
ton of Belfast being subservient
to Dublin or vice versa, but that
both must be subservient to Ire

SAYS "JAZZ HOUSE" COT OFF With FINE
ASST. SEC. ROOSEVh
ATTACKS RI
WASHINGTON, July


Former Secretary Daniels ans
Former Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt of the Navy are denounced for
the methods used in investigating
the wartime scandal among enlist
ed men at the Newport training
station in the majority report OF
a Senate subcommittee made pub
lie today. The charges made by
clergymen of Providence, r. |. and
the Providence Journal, the re-
port says, "have been proved to the
satisfaction Of the committee AMI
both the clergy and the Journal,
says the report observe the
thanks of the people at large"
At the same time today MI.
Roosevelt issued a statement de-
claring that Senator Fall of Del
aware and Keyes Of New Hamp-
shire, the two republicans who
constitute the majority of the N
vestigating committee, had issued
their findings without giving him
a hearino after promising to do So.
"Throughout their report | ac-
cuse them of deliberate falsifica-
ton of evidence, of perversion Of
facts or misstatements of the
record, and of a deliberate attempt
to deceive" he said.
The majority report charges that
with the knowledge of Mr.. Daniels
and Mr.. Roosevelt, enlisted men of
the navy, were improperly used as
participants in immoral practices
for the purpose of securing evil
dence on which to dismiss offend
ers from the navy. Mr.. Roosevelt
under whose office the investiga-
ton was conducted is held by the
majority to be "morallv RESPONSE
bic for the orders.
Lieut.. Erasmus Hudson of the
Medical corps, who was in direct
charge Of the investigation, the
report says, Showed utter lack
of moral responsibility and should
have been court martialled."
