SULLEY'S FAILURE
TO APPEAR MYSTERY
National Cash Register Co. Expresses
Surprise and Disappointment
Hears Nothing from Him

Carl S. Hopkins, president of the Brat
tleboro Chamber of Commerce, has re-
ceived a letter from the National Cash
Register Co. of Dayton. O., expressing
surprise at the non-appearance of G. w.
Sulley. who was to have given a lecture
in the Auditorium Monday evening. June
20. and who failed also TO appear in Keene
the following night. The text of the let
ter follows:
we were certainly surprised and dis
appointed to receive your letter of June
% informing us that Mr.. SulIey. our lee
turer, failed to put in his appearance in
your city for the lecture which was booked
for Monday. June 20.
No word has been received by us CON
cerning Mr.. Sulley's failure to lecture in
for his action. Nothing like this has ever
happened before in our experience.
We can conceive no reason why Mr..
Sulley did not appear, unless it was the
fact that he failed to get mail which Mr..
Brown sent to him. and which contained
instructions and advance report concern
ing the date at Brattleb0ro. We shall
write you again after investigation has
been made Of this instance
We realize of course that You have
been put to a great deal of Inconvenience
and humiliation. and we certainly regret.
more than we can express. this very unfor-
tunate situation.
The mail which you have for Mr.
Sulley may be returned to this Office. We
thank yOu very much for calling our at
tention TO this matter.
Very truly yours.

hundred thousand railway employees. to-
day went to work at reduced wages while
1000 of their union leaders assembled
here for conferences that are relied upon
to keep transportation channels open and
to decide what action railway employees
shall take regarding wage cuts.
While union leaders voiced general dis
satisfaction toward the United States la
Dor boards decision authorizing a wage
cur. there We're predictions that they
would vote to abide by the order with
some formal protest.
Ninety-tive per cent of the membership
of the international brotherhood of fire
men and oilers have voted against ac-
cepting the wage cut. Timothy Healy,
international PRESIDENT made the an
nouncement today as the union leaders
gathered here. to pass on the order. The
maintemance-of-Way men and the shop
crafts will not announce the result of
their vote until after the conference to-

SEASON OPENS FOR
TAKING BLACK BASS
Expected Exodus of Fishermen Halted
by Deluge-Few Good Specimens
Taken from Meadows

The season for taking black bass
opened today with a rush of water. The
heavy rain of the past few days has
raised West river and the Connecticut TO
such a pitch that the bass enthusiasts
who had been planning general exodus
to the fishing grounds today practically
all decided to stay at home The streams
are all at flood and so roiiy that there is
but poor chance to get either trout or
bass. However, a few good specimens of
bass have been taken on the meadows.
During the past month or more the
wardens who have been watching the
spawning grounds of the bass have noted
an unusually large number of fine speci-
mems on the beds. Just where they will
be found after the present high water
subsidies is more or less matter of con-
lecture. Most of the large fish had left
West river before the rain came, on ac-
count of low water. but they may return
there under present conditions. All of
West river is now open to the anglers,
the posting having expired today.
The legal length of black bass is still
10 inches. All sportsmen who have not
already done so should go to the town
clerks office and get one of the new
pamphlets of fish and game laws.

Damage to the extent of more than
$500 has been caused to streets and
roads about town, and 30 telephone lines,
affecting 300 or more subscribers, have
been out of commission because of the

Road Commissioner c. ]. Dube said
today that Highland. Washington and
Birge streets had been washed badly
and that other sections in the village
were showing the effects of the heavy
rain. Two or three pieces of tile car

Canal street into the brook have gone
out. The outside roads have stood the
