GAG RULE WILL FAIL
Effort to Stop Debate In Senate
Won't Succeed.

Washington, July 6.-Defeat OF the
republican motion for cloture on the
administration bill appeared to be
virtually certain tonight, on the eve
of the vote on the issue, set for noon
tomorrow
Democratic leaders claimed and re.
publican leaders conceded that il
would not be possible to obtain for
the motion the two-thirds majority
necessary to invoke the existing rule.
which would limit debate on the bill
and its amendments to one hour for
each senator.
Leaders on both sides were hopeful
| however. that out of the move would
| come unanimous consent agreement
for the limiting of debate, at least
on the less important items in the
measure. Negotiations looking TO
such an agreement are under way.
IL the cloture move fails, consider.
alton of the tariff will go steadily
ahead, Whether there will be return
to night sessions may depend upon
the outcome OF the negotiations BY
which 1t is hoped to cut down de-.
bate and speed final vote. The bill
received little consideration today
practically the entire session being
devoted to discussion of the cloture
rule, with leaders on both sides an.
nounclng they hoped final vote
could be obtained in the not distant
future.
Debate on the cloture was en'iver
ed by charges by Senator Harrison

the finance committee, had written tC

L.vTURE TO ASSIST
CEMETERY ASSOCIATION
Or. Vincent Ravl-Hooth to Speak
Thursday Evening at High
School Hall.

Please reserve Thursday evening,
July 20, make no engagements for
that night, for the reason that you
already have one. You are invited to
go to the Bennington high school.
pay either one dollar for saat In
reserved rows, or fifty cents for q
general admission ticket, and listen
to a lecture by DR.. Vincent Rayi
Booth on, "The Great Rebel and
Prophet OF Ahe Nineteenth Century.
Who was he? Well that is another
reason for attending this lecture,
and paying good money to hear 1t.
It's a secret!
And what is to be done with the
money? If you will take a walk
through the Old Bennington cense-
terry, you will get your answer. Notice
the 500 old fashioned tomb stones
marking the graves Of the founders
OF this town, and Of their descend
ants. With the exception Of Jede.
diah Dewey's grave, not one OF them
is endowed. Every one of them
would be neglected but for the anx-
ious care of the Cemetery associa-
tion.
1t cost S1400 to care for the ceme-
terry last year, but the income of the
Association was only 5000. That is
the problem 1t was solved last year
by soliciting funds But this year It
is hoped that the lecture on July 20
will bring in a handsome sum, every
cent of which will go for the upkeep
OF the cemetery.

MILITIA Of -FOUR
STATES NOW READY
FOR STRIKE DUTY
Crucial State of Tense Situation
Reached Today
MORE ACTS OF VIOLENCE
PreparationsI Completed for Re-
sumption & Ss6p Work on
Score of Lines
MORE ACTS OF VIOLENCE

Chicago, July 10. (By the Associa.
ted Press) The crucial stage In the
rail strike was reached today. The
natural guardsmen were on duty in
Illinois and under arms In four 9th
er states.
The day brought eminous forebod'
: ings OF impeding crisis at many points
as trouble brewed among the strik-
ers. New acts OF violence occurred
at scattered points and others We're
feared as the situation grew tenser.
The railroads generally prepared
to open their shops with what labor
was available accepting the returned
str kers and filing vacancies as far
as possible with imported workers.
b. NJ. Jewell, head of the railway
employees department of the Ameri'
can Federation of Labor had nothing
to say at strike headquarters here
and no news was forthcoming from
either the carriers or the United
States Railroad Labor board.
While the Sunday holiday was un-
eyentful the rest Of the week was
fraught with possibilities. Today
members OF the labor board who
averted a strike OF 100000 mainten'
ance OF way men at $4,000 signalmen
through negotiations with union 0fiic'
ials last week, are expected TO confer
with h. II. Fitzgerald, head OF the
clerks union, in an effort to prevent
the issuance of strike orders to this
organization. Confidence is express
ed in quarters close to the labor
board that the clerks would follow
the example set by the maintenance
of way employees and signalmen.
With the carriers urging striking
employees to return to work at once,
preparations were practically COM
plete last night on score OF lines to
attempt to resume active shop work
today
Vacancies In the ranks, according
to the railroads will be filed by the
hiring OF new men Realizing the
possibilities for trouble with such a
program, some OF the railroads have
asked for soldiers to protect their
shops, while oslers expected to af
ford private protection to those who
worked.
While the railroads predicted that
many strikers would flock back to
work when assured that protection
would be afforded union headquart
ers here have maintained that the
strike is daily becoming more effec
tive
With the federal courts already in
tervening in a number of places to
prevent picketing by the strikers, the
week was also expected to reveal to
large extent the attitude of the De
partment OF Justice toward the strike
From Washington came The announce
ment that the department was investI
eating reports that strike disorders
were interfering with the mails and
Charles Clyne, United States district
attorney here, said he had RECEIVED
instructions from Attorney General
Daugherty to use force II necessary
to keep the mails and interstate com
merce moving.

outcome OF her contest with Suzanne

In which the French champion demon

match Mrs. Mallory said
81 am sure, | did not play one-third
as well against Mile Lenglen as |
played In. New York, but she played
better against me than have ever
seen her play before. She was heaps
better, than. against Miss McKane or
Miss Ryan. 1t Is when Mile Lenglen
has the, upper hand that she plays
so WELL, 1t would have been differ
ent story had ! got the first two
games.
But 1t could be seen how was
playing when the Frenchwoman got
the first game by my beating myself,
in hitting out widely on the first four
shots. That is not my game. Many
people tell me they thought was
nervous because | seemed to them
not to have the same control over
the ball as had against Mrs. Beam
ish the day befbre.
But 1t wastt not nervousness
Simply felt from the beginning, even
when we were iust knocking over a
few balls that couldn't hit the ball
and was not QpAmy game. Perhaps
was overanxiouA
II am not ,saNsfed with the score

SKETCH AWAKENS
MUCH INTEREST
Pencil Drawing BY Late Judson Loomis
On Exhibition at the Drys-
dale Store.

One of the features of the golden
Of the Drysdale store is
a pencil sketch that has been on ex-
hibition in the northwest window.
The sketch of the River street store
was made in 1887 by the late Judson
Loomis, marble carver, who worked
at his trade for a number of years
in Bennington.
The drawing, executed with un.
usual care as to detail. shows to u
greater degree than photograph the
changes that have taken place in
business methods during period of
35 years.
A third Of century ago window
trimming was carried out for the
purpose of displaying certain articles
carried In stock, and, while the eX-
hibitions were made as attractive as
possible, there was not much at
tempt at elaboration.
The two figures in the drawing are
characterizations of the late proprie-
tor and Michael Healy, an employe
Who afterward left Bennington and
acquired considerable reputation
as a window dresser.
Two large signs painted on cotton
show that the store third of u LSa.
tury ago had acquired the policy q
offering bargains in staples and OF
giving widespread notice of the fact
that 1t had the goods on hand,
To the younger generation the pic
ture means little more than any c.
er well executed pencil sketch but
to many of the older residents, men
and women who remember the River
street store and Mr. Healy, the draw
ing has brought back half forgotten
memories of their youth and Of
friends who have crossed the GreaI
| Divide.
