MARKED GROWTH
IN RADIO INDUSTRY

Some idea of the tremendous
growth Of the radio industry may be
gathered from the following facts
recorded in the Scientific American:
''One concern expects to do a bust
ness Of well over s5o,o00,000 this
year. judging by the returns of the
past few months. There is an ever
increasing demand for vacuum tubes !:
it is estimated that by this writing
$4,000 tubes are being turned out a
month, and that by the time thi
reaches the reader the production will
probably exceed 100000 tubes per
month. Authorities in and out Of
radio are of the opinion that the
radio business as it is now develop
ing is going to be greater than the
Photographic industry. which has
been doing a business in excess of
S400, 100000 per year"
The radio and phonograph indus
tries will tend to help each other,
for one provides temporary enter
tainment while the other employs
permanent records as its particular
feature.

Without 0pposition-But
Two Contests.

Although the polls opened at 6
O'Clock this morning in Montpelier
there was but little stir at city hall
over the city election. At o'clock this
afternoon the regular business of the
city meeting began so that all that oc-
CURED during the morning was the vot
ing for the several candidates in which
little interest il shown.
There were only two contests. These
are aldermen and listers. In the first
instance there were three candidates.
Chandler Brown, George Edison and
John Gowdey, while the other contest
was between William Turney and W.
c. Lsnphere for lister for period of
three years. There was but one candi-
date for the other elective places on
the ballot so that it is safe to say
that Dean X. Lille is elected this aft
G-noon as mayor of Montpelier. while
tine other officers elected will be T.

Vote Was Light in Every
Ward But Fourth Where
800 Had Been Cast BY
II O'cI0ck-More Than
All Rest of City

Without a contest of any kind on
the city ticket and with only two ward
contests, the annual March election in
Barre to-day was quiet affair, and
aside from wards four and six the vote
was small. In the former ward, where
registration was the largest it has ever
been the voting began early and was
active throughout the day, nearly
full vote being called. At II o'clock 300
votes had been east, more than in all
the rest Of the city at that time. Not-
ing in all wards began at 8 o'clock and
closed at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

R. r. TRAFFIC INTERRUPTED.
Ice Formed on Rails--Eo Trains to
Bethel Over w. K. Road.

Bethel, March 7.-Traffic on the
White River railroad yesterday was
carried on between Rochester and
Stoekbridge, but in the woods below
Stockbridge ice had formed between
the rails, and in some places over the
rails, of such hardness and thickness
that trains could not run. A snow.
plow sent down from Rochester ran its
nose into the ledge and was disabled.
Ilt seems improbable that the pillow
would have relieved the ice situation.
All day word kept coming TO Bethel
that the train would arrive a little
later, but no train arrived and late
last evening the accumulation OF mail
express and baggage for points up the
river nearly filled large room at the
G. ". II. station.
Nobody SENS to remember when such
\ thing ever happened before, The
White River officials usually in freshet
time have sent down n team to carry
mail and passengers. General Manager
T.. s. French was said to be i'll at his
home in Rochester, and his we'll known
vigorous administration was sadly
missed.
Among the passengers bound for
Rochester was George H. Hunt, of
Burlington, who came on she early
morning train yesterday and still was
registered at the inn late last evening
Other victims of the adverse traffic
were Misses +. and l.. Cresey. daugh-
ters of Rev. Thomas II. Cresey of
Rochester, on their way home from
for a visit.

CARPENTER NAMED RECEIVER
For Burlington Office of E. H. Clarke s.
Co., Brokers.

Burlington, March 7.--State Banl,
Commissioner George b. Carpenter OF
White River Junction was appointed
receiver yesterday of the local branch
of Il. II, Clarke & Co., brokers', which
closed Saturday, following instructions
from the main office in New York.
This action followed thorough in
vestigation of the books of the local
Office by Commissioner Carpenter and
an assistant, which resulted in the fill
ing of the petition by States Attorney
j. M. Horton, with the advice of At
torney General r, G. Archibald.
An investigation of the company was
made last week by Commissioner Car
penter, after which Mr.. Clarke agreed
to suspend all business in Vermont last
Saturday. This agreement was reached
last Thursday but instead OF with
drawing from the state Mr.. Clarke pc
titioned for receiver in New York
City, thus foiling the attempt of Com
missioner Carpenter to get the Yer
monters who had invested with the
firm off without loss.
Mr.. Clarke, who has purchased a
block of stock in the Riehford Savings
bank, was informed recently by the
state bank commissioner that he could
not serve as director of this bank be-
cause its charter did not allow non-res-
ident directors.
Mr. Carpenter left last night for New
York, where he will check up the bal
ance OF the local office with that at the
main Office. Until this is done, accord
ng 70 Mr.. Carpenter, it win be i'm
possible TO give out any statement as
% the condition Of the local Office He
'xpects TO return to this city in two
,r three days.
~ y. Peterson. manager oil the local
'iifiee, also left last evening for New
York, with Mrs. Peterson, but stated
hat he would return to Burlington on
Thursday.

j. jerome Hahn, chairman of the stat'
board Of mediation and conciliation
to-day issued call for a meeting oi
the board at noon tomorrow, to con
slider new proposal for settlement OF
the Rhode Island textile strike. Mil
owners and strikers have refused thus
far to submit the hour and wage ques-
tions to arbitration.
As a result of meeting last Sat
urday, it was said the state board to-
morrow will have q concrete plan
ready to present to the two parties.
According to reports at the State
House this plan is based on figures
presented to the board by Commits
sioner of Labor George Fl. Webb, and
is in the nature of compromise. 1t
will propose, according to reports, that
the question of hours be left to the
legislature to settle. The strike was
called when mill owners announced a
wage cut of 20 per cent and an in
crease in hours from 4S to "a per
week.
In the matter OF wages, it is stated,
the plan of the state provides for a
reduction Of ten per cent.
State officials vie wing the constant

nothing developed in the way of set
Element tomorrow, the manufacturers
would be asked at the end of the week

GOES TO MARCH TERM.
Case of East Montpelier VS.. Barre and
Montpelier Light Co. Put Over.

The chancery case of town of East
Montpelier against Barre and Mont
pelier Light & Power company was
continued in Washington county court
yesterday afternoon and will be heard
before Judge Fred NJ. Butler as chan
cellor during the March term A hear
ing wac set for O'Clock yesterday aft
ernoon before Judge Sherman r. Moul-
ton as chancellor, but for various rea !
sons very little was done. One of the
expert witnesses for the town is i'll
and could not attend the hearing. Also
it was pointed out by Judge Moulton
that his assignments TO other county
courts would prevent his hearing the
case completely. It was therefore
thought wiser to allow the whole case
TO 60 before Judge Butler in the March
term. In this case the town seeks TO
enjoin the company from damming a
stream. throwing the water back
against a highway, as is alleged. The
dam in question is the upper one Of the
two dams formerly owned
by the Cory -Deavitt- Frost concern.
The case also concerns petition for
damages to she highway.
