BARN, TWO HORSES
AND TOOLS BURNED
Fire Last Night at Farm of Ray C. Bet
terley on Dummerston Hill-PrOp-
erty Was Not Insured

The barn. pair of horses, about FIVE
tons of hay. one hog, pair of work har-
ness. hay tedder and other farming tools
ar Fairview, the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Ray c. Betterley OH Dummerston hill
were destroyed by fire about Q o'clock
last night. The cause of the fire is not
known.
Mr.. and Mrs Betterley were in Brat
tleboro. where Mrs. Betterley is staying
Il few days. when the fire broke out.
Smaller Herrick, who works for his uncle,
Mr. Betterley. did the evening barn work
and retired. About 9 o'clock Miss Grieve
of Dorchester. Mass, who * spending
some time at Fairview. was attracted to
the window by the bright light. She
called Mr. Herrick and sent telephone
fire calls about the neighborhood.
Mr.. Herriclz was able to remove the
COW from the barn to a place of safety.
He returned to the barn, blindfolded the
horses and tried to get them from the
burning building, but his efforts were
fruitless. as the animals refused to be
led from their home. Two shotes also
were saved.
Meanwhile neighbors arrived and as
nothing could be done to save the barn
efforts were turned toward saving a new
shed between the barn and the house.
This was saved by being kept well soaked
with water furnished by a bucket brigade.
Had the shed been destroyed it would
have been impossible to have saved the
house.
Owing to the fact that the weather of
the past few weeks has not been favor
able to harvesting the hay crop the loss
in this line was confined to about FIVE
tons of hay which Mr. Betterley had
bought to carry him through, and two
loads of alfalfa. The horses burned were
a Handsome pair of greys.
Mr.. Betterley estimates his loss at
from $4,000 to $4,000. He carried no
insurance.

WASHINGTON. July 10. Former
Secretary Daniels and Former Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt of the navy are de-
nounced for the methods used in inves-
tigating the wartime scandal among en-
listed men at the Newport training sta
tion, in the majority report of a sem
ate subcommittee made public today.
The charges made by clergymen of
Newport, r. l., and the Providence

proved to the satisfaction of the commit

nal, says the report. deserve the thanks
of the people at large"
At the same time today Mr.. Roosevelt
issued a statement declaring that Sena-

constitute the majority of the ;rvestigat-

without giving him hearing after prom

The majority report charges that with

Roosevelt enlisted men of the navy were
improperly used as participants in inn
moral practices for the purpose of secur-

Improvements to Be Made Near Cold
Spring on Elm Street.
Some important pieces of highway re-
pair work are to be begun within day
or two under the direction of Road Com
missioner Charles J. Dube.
One of these is on Bridge street,
where the retaining wall on the south
side of MILESTONE brook fell into the
brook recently after being pushed out
gradually many years by the action of
frost.
Since the wall fell out the severe storms
have washed the roadway and many of
the paving blocks have fallen down so
that only about twe-thirds of the street
can be used at present. Mr.. Dube has
bought a carload of cement and he will
put in a heavy cement wall The wall
will be several feet thick at the bottom
and Will taper gradually to the top, the
roadway will be filled in with dirt Proper
drainage win be put in
A stretch of asphalt road 1.150 feet
long will be constructed on Western ave-
nue. beginning at the westerly end of the
present concrete road. The road com
missioner already has "a barrels of mate
rial there besides tar kettles and a large
amount of trap rock and fine stone
This work has been delayed for varfeus
reasons. principally because there has
not been enough warm weather at a
stretch TO dry out the trap rock and
stone sufficiently so that the materials
will bind WE'LL
1t was Mr.. Dube's intention to have
finished the work at the west end of the
suspension bridge before now, but the re-
cent damage to highways elsewhere by
heavy storms have made it necessary to
postpone this work and devote the atten-
tion of the road department to localities
which have needed it more than the sus-
pension bridge work.
From six to eight weeks will be re-
.quired to complete this job, which is to
be paid for by the Connecticut River
Power Co. 1t can we'll wait, however. as
the road is in better condition now than
1T ever was before the improvements were
begun. 1t is the policy of the road com
missioner to save this work for his men
to do when they have nothing special to
do elsewhere
Some improvements are to be made
near the cold spring at the southern end
of Elm street bridge. 1t will be neces.

have been undermined by storms. to pre-

Moses tricked the visitors with a
punt from scrimmage formation that

using Anderson as battering ram he
pounded the Brown line to shreds,

the second touchdown. Coach Meehan

Aerial Attack in
Last Period Saves
Penn From Defeat
Wray, Sullivan and Miller
Tie the Score at Seven
All With Swarthmore

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 15-A twenty
six-yard forward pass thrown with un-
erring accuracy by Captain Rex Wray
into the arms of George Sullivan and
the accuracy Of Pos Millcr's good right
foot avoided 4 disaster for Penn on
Franklin Field this afternoon and en-
abled the Red and Blue to tie Swarth-
more in the annual football game
The final figures were Z to T.
1t was in the fourth period that Penn
called on the aerial attack to save it
self from defeat With the ball on
the 26yard line and less than five min
utes to play, Captain Wray set him
self back of the Red and Blue center,
and after receiving the pass heaved the
ball down the gridiron.
The oval seemed to fly over the chalk
lines and Sullivan had to put on extra
speed to get his fingers on the ball as
it went flying over the goal line. He
brought it down to his chest, hugged it
for one brief second, and then touched
it to ground.
Penn still could be defeated, but Pos
Miller poised himself coolly as he
aimed for the posts and the ball sailed
between the uprights for the point that
tied the game.
The IT tie was in reality moral
victory for the little Quakers from the
suburbs. Lester Asplundeh scored the
first huIs-eye in the feud with a score
in the first period.
