Arlington is entitled to congratula-
tions on the result of its vote on the
schoolhouse question. Arlington is no
different from other towns, Each
town has it's own small peculiartes in
which ii lis merely more so or less SO
than its neighbors. In every old New
England town the conservative in
huence is strong and in Arlington it
has taken nearly twenty years to get
a modern graded school but the vote
Tuesday was strong enough so that
the opposition appears to be thorough
ly squelched. Now Arlington should
go ahead and improve its roads, pro-
vide s de-walks, sewers and electric
lights. They cost like the old harry
but what is the use of living ,f We
cannot live under modern standards
and with some Of the modern eonyen-
fences. Bennington isn't Dragging
any. Bennington has been without
decent roads longer than Arlington
has been without a modern school and
Arlington is even now entitled to pont
the finger Of mild scorn at Bennington

them bs interest charges, delay and

the role of the unfortunate victim Of

His counsel, Mrs. Augusta E. Maley,
from time to time sent a fleeting smile
of encouragement across the room to
the man she is defending. When he

beside hers she leaned over and patted
him on the back with a motherly air.
She acted wholly in the capacity of ad-

Henry Maley, conducted the examina-

with one arm on the back of her chair
his wife sat with pencil and paper and
prompted him from time to time. He
frequently stopped to consult her, and
when anything was overlooked she drew
his attention to the omission.

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. 24,-Wil-
liam B. Bassett, vice-president of the
Ihnnix National Dxnk, shot and killed
himself at his home III Kenyon Street
here to-day. He sent bullet through
his right temple.
His suicide was attributed to the
fact that his resignation as an officer
&c the bank had been asked by its
president, Leon F. Broadhurst. Mr.,
Bassett was charged by bank officials
with conduct unbecoming an officer of
the bank" The Phoenix National
Bank is one of the largest banking in
stitutions in New England.
Mr.. Bassett ended his life at a. m.
His resignation was to have been placed
before the board of directors at noon.
When Mrs. Bassett left his room short
iy before o'clock he was in bed, sp-
parently asleep. When she returned q
lew minutes later she found him dead.
He shot himself with revolver which
lay for months in his desk at the bank.
Mrs. Bassett was not aware until after
her husband had killed himself that he
had been asked to resign. Medical
Examiner DR.. Henry N. Costello was
summoned and pronounced the case
one of suicide.
Mr. Bassett was asked for his resig-
nation by President Broadhurst late
Wednesday afternoon. They had dis
cussed affairs of the bank and Mr..
Bassett's personal affairs as we'll for
two hours. They later, left the bank
together, and it is supposed Mr.. Bas-
sett took his pistol with him.
although there was mething of q
scene in the directors ROOM" said Mr..
Broadhurst. land Mr.. Bsssett broke
down compls ely when he learned that
nothing short Of his resignation would
be satisfactory. it could not be fore
seen that such a thing would cause him
to end his life. Mr.. Bassett's private
affairs have been on my mind for some
time, and throughout this period my
first thought has been the welfare OF
the bank itself"
Mr.. Broadhurst said he had no rea-
son to believe that the banks funds
had been tampered with. GAS late as
Washington's Birthday" he said. "audi-
tors and officers, other than Mr.. Bassett,
went through the books and securities"
The former vice president, Mr.. Broad
hurst said, did not complain of unfair
treatment in being asked for his resig-
nation, but was nevertheless deeply
affected.
"It was entirely our interest in the
safety and welfare of the bank that
compelled US to ask Mr.. Bassett's res
ignation," said Mr.. Broadhurst.
Mr.. Bassett played bridge with his
wife tsld friends until 1880 o'clock on

"Dear Mr.. Ritchie," the letter ran,
II would suggest the adaptation of the
inclosed Boston park lighting idea to
your coach system. The lights at pres
ont are far too dim for the public good.

anyway, in draping their arms about
