Senate Investigation of Sit
uation Has Been
Suspended
BECAUSE SENATE
WANTS A RECESS
Views of Only the Railroad
Executives and Security
Owners Taken

Washington, D. G., July l.-Senate
investigation of the railroad situation
was suspended today by Chairman
Cummins Of the interstate commerce
committee until the middle or latter
part of August. This was taken to
mean that there would be no railroad
relief legislation at the present extra
session of congress.
Chairman Cummins said suspension
Of the inquiry was deemed advisable
in view of the inclination Of the Sen
ate to take summer recess.
The investigation to date has de.
veloped the views of the railroad eN-
ecutives and security owners, though
the latter have not completed the
presentation of their case. Representa-
tiyes of labor and shippers are yet
to be heard.
The original plan contemplated
committee report and possibly the pro.
posaI of legislation for consideration
at the present session OF Congress.

Company for Barre in
Doubt

Barre's chances for the $4,000 state
appropriation of 1923 are, fguratively
speaking, hanging on the fence and un-
less a number Of young men come to
the rescue Barre will lose all chances
OF getting Vermont National Guard
company, the $4,000 appropriation,
which the money is given, as several
other towns are anxious 10 annex
state armorv to their community and
are endeavoring to raise company.
IF anyone of them succeeds before
Barre then this city will not know the
advantages of good gymnasium and
state armory, built at the expense of
the state. The chance TO get this still
hangs in the balance and its up to the
young men OF this city to have this
budget fall to Barre.
BY enlistng in the proposed machine
gun company now being organized by
Neale Hooker they can bring 10 Barre
q state armory that will be designed TO
serve As gymnasium, large dance
hall, and an auditorium such as this
city has always needed for athletic
events.
The uncertainty Of this appropria
tion became manifest last night when
il was found that l. of the 50 Young
men who signed UP failed to make ap
pesrance for the physical examinations
at the Legion clubhouse Yesterday, and
with two failing to pass the examina

THEY COULD NOT USE
FOUR SENATOR'S
AGAINST TAFT
When Former President Was Con-
firmed for Chief Justice of
the United States Su-
preme Court.

Washington, D. c., July l.. William
Howard Taft, former president of the
United States, will succeed the late
Chief Justice White as head of the
United States supreme court when
that tribunal convenes in October.
Nominated by President Harding late
yesterday, Mr.. -Taft's confirmation was
voted by the Senate in executive ses-
sion little more than an hour after
wards.
Although elected to the presidency
from Ohio, he will be credited to Con.
necticut as a member of the supreme
court, having made New Haven his le-
gal residence since leaving the White
House.
Senators Borah, johnson, LaFollette
and Watson voted against the nomina
tion and, according to reports. Senators
Borah and johnson expressed criticism
Of Mr.. Taft's capabiity. The rollcall
was 90 to 4 for confirmation.
Senators Borah and johnson are said
TO have led the fight in opposition on
tie floor while Senators Knox, Kellogg
and Willis assumed leadership of those
favoring confirmation.
The opposition, it was said, was cen
tered upon the alleged inadequacy of
Mr., Taft's legal training and expert
ence, Mr., johnson being quoted after
ward as having stated that Mr.. Taft
had not regarded himself as a lawyer
but as politician,
Among the more prominent cases in
which Mr.. Taft will now participate
are:
Coronado Coal Co, case, in which the
United Mine Workers Of America are
from vedict holding that
liable under the Sherman
laws, for six hundred thousand dollars
damage resulting from strike. The lie
gal issue involved whether national
labor organization can be held liable
for damages caused by the activities of
nm affiliated local--has been declared
by labor leaders to be the most inn
portant in the history of organized la
bcr.
