STORE AND TENEMENT
IN SHAFTSBURY BURN
Two Children Sleeping on Second
Floor Have Narrow Escape
from Death.

The grocery store and upper tene'
ment. located in the central part Of
South Shaitsbury village, and owned
by Martin Harrington was destroyed
by fire shortly after midnight Sunday
morning
Mr.. Harrington is inclined to lay
the cause of the blaze to defective
wiring, although those who were in
the store last were Of the opinion
that 1t started near the stove where
some say that cigarette butts were
often care,essly thrown.
The store was closed for the night
about 1880 p. m. leaving the build
ing unoccupied save by two sleeping
children whose parents, Mr., ana Mrs.
Ruby Bushee were attending party
in North Bennington.
TIE Bushees returned shortly after
midnight to discover the fire which
had already begun to get under seri-
our headway,
They Immediately gave the alarm,
reused their children and got them
safely out OF the burning structure.
BY that time help came hurrying to
the scene from every quarter. A
bucket brigade was organized but It
Was soon evident that the store was
doomed. The windows and doors
were then broke open in hopes OF
saving some OF the contents. The
open spaces gave free access for
draughts and the fire ragged the
stronger.
The volunteer frefgiters then
turned their attention to nearby
houses which were in danger There
is no doubt that their brave and
quick work saved Samuel Galusha's
home.
The stock in trade and other con.
tents as well as the household fur.
nishing belonging to the Bushees was
almost a total loss. The building was
insured for $1,000
The store had been owned for years
by Newman Hawkins and was better
known by that name than by that of
the new owner, Martin Harrington

The cast is strong. Movie ans
who keep in close touch with screen

height of her ability. She is an ex.

Hundreds of signers to the petit

to the Caledonian-Record office
today Every part of the three
counties was heard from among
the lists of proteStants.
No word has yet been received
at the Caledonan-Record office in
reply to Its protest to the public
Service Commission, which acts
as a stay against the new rates
going INTO effect May 10 and its
request for a public hearing on
the matter of revised rates. 1t
is expected that in view of the
general protest that has supported
the Caledonian Record petition
that a public hearing will be
granted.
Many more letters have been re-
ceived from protestants giving
reason why the proposed rates
should not be allowed to go into
effect. f. NJ. Randall of Passump-

FOR APPOINTMENT

for Chief of L. S.
Fisheries

WASHINGTON, May 12-
Henry O'Malley, native of St.
Johnsbury, and formerly connect
ed with the ST. Johnsbury fish
hatchery, may be the next United
Commissioner OF fisheries.
1t was indicated today from
sources high in the Department
of Commerce that his nomination
is likely to be submitted to the
Senate by the president within a
short time
Thus may be brought to an end
a prolonged delay over this APP
pointment which has obtained
since last fall when the Vermont
ter was summoned from the Pacf-
flc coast where he has been in
charge of government fish culture
work, to Washington for confer
ences with Secretary Hoover on
filing the place of DR.. Hugh NJ.
Smith VINO had resigned from the
commiSsionership.
Warmly supported by Senator
Dillingham; for his post and with
the backing of other influential
senators and congressman from
the New England and other states
Mr.. O'Malley, by reason of his
practical experience, was regard
ed as an excellent choice for
commissioner, and it is understood
that his name was sent to the
president by the secretary of COM
merce a month or more ago.
Since the vacancy occurred
other candidates have entered the
lists, the most prominent of
whom is DR.. George W. Field of
Massachusetts, scientist, who en-
joys a wide reputation for his ori-
ginal researches in marine biology
and kindred subjects.
Henry Malley is a native of
st. Johnsbury, and a graduate of
st. Johnsbury academy. A broth
er graduated at Dartmouth and
subsequently became a professor
in the New Hampshire college.
Two sisters are teaching in the
BAY state. The fish culture work
with which he became associated
there proved to be his life work.
He entered the St Johnsbury
hatchery in 1897 "a an apprentice.
After years service in the Yer
mont station. which is one of the
largest OF the eastern hatcheries
and Specializes chiefly in game
fish, O Malley was transferred to
the fish station at Leadville, Ohio,
and later became fish culturist at
Baker Lake, Washington. At the
end OF five years he was appoint
