TO TAKE OWN
LIFE IN NEWPORT

Pearl Ranney of Kirby, who has
been working in the Boston and
Maine railroad yard at Newport
for the past three or four days,
attempted to end his life by drink
ing chloroform last evening. He
purchased the drug at a Newport
pharmacy last evening and went
to his room at S. G.. SCOTS room
ing house on five Central street
where he drank it.
He was found about eight this
morning as he was regaining
consciousness, and called to one
of the inmates of the house.
When found he asked for a gun
remarking that he wished to "put
himself out of his misery" DR..
J. F. Blanchard was called and
chief of police Ora Sweet took
the suffering lad to Brightlook
hospital at st. Johnsbury this
afternoon. Ranney's father, moth
er and brother who were notified
at once arrived in Newport this
noon from Kirby. Neither his re-
latives or those who worked with
him could give any reason for his
action as he was apparently in the
best of health and spirits when
last seen. He is IT years of age.

annual bill reported by the House
appropriations committee.
The president would be asked to
open negotiations with Great Brit
ian, France, Italy and Japan, for
an agreement which would limit
future building of all submersible
war crafts having a tonnage OF
10000 or less and all classes of
army and navy aircrafts.
In its report the committee
pointed out that the Arms Confer
ence did not limit the number or
type of smaller war vessels and
added that information that reach

programs are planned for vessels
up to the maximum size commit
ted under the agreement and that
new and larger types of air SER
vice crafts have begun to put in
an appearance"
"In other words" the report CON
tinues, competition is on again in
the single direction to which the
agreement does not extend and if it
be allowed to GO unchecked the
purse-strings again must be relax
ed and this government like all
others will be constrained to
launch upon new program to the
extent necessary to keep us at
least abreast of any of the other
powers" F"

Teams Collide
On the Avenue

A runaway occurred on the
corner of Eastern Avenue and
Railroad street this noon when the
delivery sled of the F. A. Scott Co.
collided with a big double team
that was watering at the trough.
The Scott team came down the
Avenue at a smart pace and turn
ed to go down Railroad street.
The sled slowed around striking
the larger one that stood at the
trough and overturned. The driver
was thrown out and as the horse
started off at a run the sled right
ed itself. The horse ran as far as
the St. Johnsbury Grocery Co.,
where it slowed up and a passer-
by caught it. No damage was done
but the drivers of both sleds were
apparently very much surprised
when they collided.

NO MATCH FOR
COMPANY D
st. JOhnsbury Team Runs
Up Score of 1913
at ArmOry

Lost on the big Armory sur
face, the Woodsville basketball
team found itself last night utter
ly unable to cope with the un-
usually speedy passing and
teamwork of Company d. 1t was
a walk-away for the militia hoop
sters who ran up total of SO
points to Is. Puss Connor and
Jimmy Foye got into the game and
each scored a quartet of baskets.
The fact that the Woodsville
lads have been playing on a small
surface rendered them ineffective
in thwarting the brilliant pass
work of Coach Burns protegees.
Time after time a st. Johnsbuly
player was left unguarded beneath
the hostile basket. Before a
Woodsville basketeer could rush
down the long court to check him,
invariably the local athlete had
dumped the sphere into the
meshes.
Albert Goslant hurled Is points
into the iron rim and was closely
followed for scoring honors by
Fitz Marshall who rung in IL.
Jimmy Foye was in the game but
one period and scored eight points.

COMPANY D MAY
MEET TARTAR IN
ARMY BASE FIVE
Vocational School and
Academy In Weekend
Contests

The game between Company d
and Woodsville last evening was d
/ disappointment to the manage
ment of the team as we'll as the
fans. Because of the nature of the
games that the Woodsville team
played here last winter, it was ex-
pected that they would give the To-
cal boys a stiff contest.
1t has been extremenly difficult
for manager Burns to secure
teams of the same class and stand
ing as Company d team, first be
cause there are only few teams
within striking distance of ST.
Johnsbury that have organized un-
til recently. If teams from a dis
tance are secured the guarantee is
so large that the receipts at the
gate will not paJ the expenses.
However, rather than continue
playing the class of teams that
have performed on the floor for
the past two games, it has been
decided by the management to get
the best teams available, even if
the guarantee is large. The gen
erosity of this plan is a compli-
ment to the management of Com
pany d, which is figuring to furn-
ish the best possible exhibitions
with the least possible expense.
The members of the basketball
committee are doing all in their
power to make the team a success
and are putting in long hours out
side their own daily routine of
business for which they are not re-
ceiving a cent. Therefore it is up
