changes characterized the opening of
the stock market here today. The
10 per cent reduction in freight rates
ordered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission was without further eff
feet on rails where changes were lin
tied to IL a point in New York an.
reaction of the same amount in
New Haven.
Independent Steels and secondary
equipments reflected pressure, how
ever, Midvale and Pressed Steel car
losing one point each.
The foreign oils, as we'll as IndL-
trial alchohol, Allied Chemical, Davi-
son Chemical, Utah Copper on Amer
lean Smelling featured the markets
stronger side. The beginning foreign
exchange quotations remained firm
on more cheerful advices from Paris.
Slight Cotton Sag.

and somewhat better weather over
the belt caused a gradual sag in the
price of cotton in the first hour of
the session today, July falling off to
1882 and the list making losses of
16 to 10 points. This was last no.
tice day for May in this market but
tenders of only 300 bales appeared.
the strength of July attracted no.
tice as its losses were less than any
other month.

ORCHESTRAS IN
SHERBROOKE
st. Johnsbury Musicians
Have Big Following
In City

SHERBROOKE, P. Q. Nov. q
Musicians here have recently
taken steps to prevent the en-
ployment here of foreign musical
organizations which have been
and are furnishing music at many
of the dances held in this city.
Two of St. JohnSbury, WIS splen-
did orchestras, Burroughs orches-
ira and H. Guy Dunbar and "his
versatile orchestra" have played
frequently to a big following of
admirers.
Many orchestras have in the
past come to Sherbrookc from the
United States to play at dances
given under the auspice, of local
clubs. The Sherbrooke musicians
find that this practice means loss
to them, and consequently they
have written to the immigration
authorities at Ottawa asking that
foreign orchestras be refused ad-
mission into Canada. This matter
is being investigated by the au-
thorities, and it was only by spec
ial permission received by wire
from the Minister at Ottawa was
that an American orchestra was
allowed to play at a dance in
Sherbrooke on Friday evening.
While the local clubs and 50
cieties which Organize these
dances realize that Sherbrooke or
chestras suffer when American or
cheStras are brought to Sher-
brooke, they maintain that the
music furnished by the American
orchestras is of better quality
and that although the prices
charged by the local orchestras
are lower than those charged by
the American organizations, who
have heavy travelling expenses,
they are not warranted by the
standard of music which they put
forth. Moreover, the clubs state,
many of the musicians which play
in local orchestras are held at the
theatres until a late hour, and dur
ing their absence inferior Substi-
tutes are employed.
They feel that these conditions
warrant their importing Ameri-
can orchestras and state that if
the local organizations, wish to
compete with them, they must
raise their standard of music and
improve the service which they
render 10 their pallon-.

PHILLIPS AS
ASSAILANT
st. Johnsbury Man Denies
Attack Upon Little
Girl

Deputy sheriff George Richard
son of East Barnet has arrested
Charles Phillips who gave his res
idence as IA St. Johns Street st.
Johnsbury at Barnet for the alleg-
ed attempted assault on little ten
year old Phyllis Worrell as she
was going to her lunch from
school near Passumpsic at noon
yesterday.
Phillips was brought to St,
Johnsbury and lodged in Caledon-
ia County jail early last evening
by deputy sheriff Byron Smith.
1t is alleged by the little girl
that she was making her way
home from school when she was
met in the road by a young man
who she latter identified as Phil
lips. She said he made improper
advances to hel. She ran away
from him to her home which was
nearby and reported the incident
to her parents. Her father who
had just come in for lunch started
in pursuit
Karl, the nine year old son of
Mrs. Morton Anderson who was
a short distance behind the little
girl, saw young man run across
the field and brook and make his
way toward the railroad station.
A travelling man at the Passump-
sic railroad station saw him pass
the station going toward East
Barnet. William Worrell, an uncle
of the little gir., started in pursuit
of the man and went to the home

Wallace X. Nutting in his splen-

NJ. Nutting praises our roads in

vermont is unique in the quail

where. It is clearly impossible for
state uniquely rural to construct
or even to plan, d general system
of cement roads. The usual thing
how ever, would have been the
building of taTed or composite
roads, such as break up quickly

IN HALL-MILLS CASE

James Cuwan, one of the first po-

Edward W. Hall and Mrs. Elean-
or r. Mills after the pair was
found lying on the Phillips farm
last September was the first wit
ness called when the Somerset
county grand jury today began its
second day investigating the dou-
bic murder.
After the jurors had heard the
stories of John Lathrop, a farmer
living near the scene of the murder
who claims he heard shots, special
Atty. Gen. Mott called DR. A. l..
Smith who performed an autopsy
on the body of the choir singer,
who found that besides being shot

a program Tor shipping to assure
the nations in war and give a
guarantee of commercial independ-
ence.
Personally addressing a joint
session of the House and Senate
the executive declared an actual
saving to the government would
result. He CHALLENGED every in
situation of favorite interests at
the public treasury. The legisla-
ticn, he said, automatically guard
ed against the enrichment of per-
petual bestowal,
sIf success attends and we hope
it will" he added, "the govern
ment outlay in return for the eX-
piration of opportunity, American
transportation by sea will be
maintained. The President as
serted the nations maritime POI
icy was not limited to our own do
main, adding that the maritime
nations of the world were in "com-
plete accord" with the opposition
here to the pending measure.
He declared those nations had
perfect right to strike an attitude
but that they wished to stress the
American viewpoint which he add
ed would bring the viewpoint from
which, he said, one sees American
carriers at sea and the independ-
encc of American commerce and
American vessels for the nations
reliance in event of war. Mr..
Harding declared it would be most
discouraging if measure of
tranScending Importance might
find its fate in defeat.
If government aid is fair term
to apply to organizations aggre-
eating $75,000,000 to provide good
roads, the president added, it is
equally wise to be alive to the
maintenance of American market
highways on the sea.
As to the present government
operations of the shipping board
fleet, Mr.. Harding said there was
the unavoidable task of working
under a $15,000,000 annual loss
and losses "agggregating many
hundred Of millions in wornout
sacrificed shipping. He said the
government ships were being worn
out without any provision for re-
placement and that program of
surrender and sacrifice and liquid
idation would be declared with the
inevitable, un.ess the proposed
legislation were enacted and would
cost scores Of millions. The cost of
the proposed legislation giving
ocean carriers maintained at the
present average, would not reach
$20,000,000 n year and the maxi
mum direct aid in American ship
ping, so promoted, if it carried
one half of the nations commerce
would not exceed $30,000,000 an
