BELLOWS FAILS, May 6-The
International Paper Co., are nro-
jecting material changes in the
business of their Bellows Falls
plant. In a personal letter written
from New York by the company 5

the proposed sale of their entire
stock of logs stored on the New
Hampshire side of the river and
says, 81 can make no statement one
way or another as to what may
happen to the Bellows Falls plant.
You may rest assured that after
the treatment we have received we
will not hesitate moment to shut
the plant permanently unless it is
found profitable. We are facing the
introduction of checp European
labor, outrageous labor demands,
ETC.
In justice to Bellows Falls it
can be said that there never oc-
CURED here strike of any i'm
portance in any inuustry except in
the plant Of the international Pa
per Co., and labor conditions have
been of the best except in their
mills.

tablishment of an early summer
baseball organization. There is
much interest in the Sunset
League as was manifest last ev-
ening by the large turnout at

pointed as follows: President, Err
nest T. Tinker, vice president,

clerks of St. John bury.
Games will be held every Tues
day and Thursday and viii begin
promptly at 6.l5 p. m. East con-
test Will be but a five inning af-
fair, in line with the probability
that the baseball tossers will have
to work into the game gradually,
and not try to play nine inning
games right off the bat.
Grand opening of the St.

held Tuesday evening, May 16 at
G.15. The schedule OF games is
being framed and will be in readi-
ness for the initial clash OF the

white girl, whose mutilated body
was found near here Thursday
night.
Curry, the first negro burned,
was taken from the custody of the
officer early last night. 1t was
alleged that he confessed to as
saulting and numbering the girl,
duplicating two others, James
Zaney and Nose Jones.
The mob divested the sheriff of
his keys to the jail and then un-
locked the doors. All three negroes
were then rushed to Kilvin. Curry
was bnrned first. Third degree
methods failed to bring a confes-
sion from the other two. They
were then cremated on the
strength of Curry's testimony.
The negroes were employed on
the farm of J. T. King, the grand
father of the dead girl.
With the exception of a few
shouts and the screams Of the
condemned men there was little to
disturb the early morning quiet of
the backwoods community.
Miss AwSley was riding home
from school Thursday when she
was attacked and her body was
later found by the roadside with
% knife wounds in her head,
neck and chest.

Mrs. Lois S. Parker Des-
cribes Improved Con-
ditiOns In India

Mrs. Lois S. Parker, widow of
the late Bishop Parker, who is
now back in the mission fields of
India after a visit to the United
States, writes this paper an in
teresting letter on improving con-
ditions in India. Mrs. Parker is
native of St. Johnsbury and
has been a missionary in India for
more than so years.
In explaining her reason for
sending this letter at this time,
Mrs. Parker says that so many
false reports are being circulated
in the United States with regard
TO the government of India that
missionaries who have received
not only the protection of the
government, but many favors, es-
pecially in the educational work
they are carrying on, that they
have felt that they ought to let
friends at home have the benefit
of their experience. 80, | have
written few lines that you can
use if you think best"
Mrs. Parker's letter was written
from Hardoi, India, under date of
March 20, and is as follows:
My husband and arrived in
India in 1859 soon after the Eng
Hsh government had taken over
this country. Wherever we went
we found the people rejoicing.
They said that before this there
was no safety for life or prop

prevalent in the country. People

place. where food was furnished.
Officials and missionaries were
employed in distributing food and
giving relief where possible. The
police picked up children left to
die by the roadside and carried
them to the mission to be cared
for. Nothing was left undone that
