ish government is preparing to meet
any outbreak which may occur in the
spring. Troops are leaving daily for

be more serious than any which has
preceded it.

ron in Greek waters is causing tho Porte
uneasiness, as there havo been no ex
planations given for it.

of her niece, Mrs. Henry Knight, in
Barre.
Her life, comparatively obscure and
unknown, stands to those who knew and
loved her, as a blessed memory. Al
ways frail physically, her mind and
heart were ever active. Her great love
of nature, and a keen enjoyment of the
good and beautiful in literature, added
much to her interpretation of life's
meaning. No one, old or young, could
meet her and not be filled with inspira
tion from the over-flow of her joy in
living.
lier only child was taken from her in
infancy, and the mother love that might
enfold him, went out to every child of
her acquaintance. 10 many of them,
now children no longer, . the memory
,of her cheerful helpfulness will never
be forgotten.

FIRE PATROL ON.
Extra Precautions Taken Because of
Water Conditions.
Because there are so many frozen
hydrants and also because of the low
water in the Orange brook reservoir, it
was decided last night to put out a
fire patrol, three men being assigned to
this duty. By this course it is hoped
to avoid any possibility , of a fire at
the present time.
The Pittsburg transformer sent here
for trial in thawing out water pipes,
having proved unsatisfactory, Manager
Frost of the Viles Electric Co., made
one of his own, which was tried on the
city water mains on Dewey, Orange and
Spaulding streets, yesterday. The ma
chine worked all right and the pipes
were thawed out. These had been froz
en so solid they burst the pipes, and as
soon as they were thawed out there was
a leak, which developed into a bad
break on Dewey street, and later an
other on Spaulding street. Before these
were discovered and shut oil considerable
water had run to waste. The water
ia the Orange Brook reservoir is IS
inches lower than it was Feb. 12.
The water department is hard at work
today repairing the Foster street break,
and also thawing out service pipes on
Berlin street.

DE-LIGHTED
WITH HIS TRIP
President Roosevelt Had Fine
Time in New York
IS BACK AT HIS DUTIES
Last Evening He Was Greeted by Im
mense Throng on the East Side,
When He Attended Banquet
in "Little Hungary."
Washington, Feb. 15. Pleased beyond
measure over the reception accorded
him by the Eastsiders of New York,
President Roosevelt returned to Wash
ington this morning to take up again the
cares of his office.
PRESIDENT IN "LITTLE HUNGARY."
First Time That a Chief Executive Has
Visited That Section.
New York, Feb. 15. For the first
time since the days he was police com
missioner of New York President Roose
velt last night visited the heart of
the East Side, where as a guest of the
Hungarian Republican club, he dined
and spoke at the restaurant "Little Hun
gary. Guarded by mounted police and
secret service men, through streets clear
ed and cordoned by patrolmen, he drove
from upper Fifth avenue into the crowd
ed district which lies around Second
avenue and East Houston street, a re
gion of small shops and tenements and
largely populated by foreign born resi
dents.' From the moment his carriage
entered the district he received an ova
tion. Never has a President of the
United States visited this little known
part of New York, and never before
had a fraction of the thousand that
cheered him seen a nation's ruler. Elec
tric lights winked and blinked charac
teristic legends, gaud bunting fluttered
in the wintry wind and the great East
Side showed its enthusiasm by every
imaginable sign and sound. Across Sec
ond avenue at Sixth street a huge elec
tric device blazed forth the single word
"Delighted" a word frequently used in
the decorations. Many small shop keep
ers apparently had seen many a week's
profit spent in elaborate decorations,
and it has been many years since the
East Side saw such a night.
The district through which the Presi
den drove and in which he dined is not
the safest in the city and the police
took no chances. So stringent were the
precautions that not a flashlight photo
graph was allowed to be taken, and uni
formed police, plain clothes men and
detectives fairly swarmed inside aud
out of "Little Hungary." Tbey were
stationed on the roofs and fire escapes
in the neighborhood and for two blocks
on either side of East Houston street a
cordon of police cut off the crowds. The
ordinary police cards permitting entry
into fire lines and similar places were
suspended by order of Police Commis
sioner McAdoo and no one without an
invitation to the dinner or a specially
issued police card was permitted to
piss the tautly drawn line of patrol
men. By six o'clock East Houston street
and the intersecting thoroughfares for
several blocks in all directions were
blocked by as cosmopolitan crowd as
could be gathered in any city in the
world. At that hour the police began
to clear the streets and draw their lines
through which, admission was gained
only by special ticket. A troop of
mounted police rode slowly into the
crowd, and working east and west grad
ually moved the sightseers into the side
streets, where another line was estab
lished to keep them back. Tho crowd
was in the best of humor rind no dis
order or resistance occurred. They al
lowed themselves to be herded back and
in a remarkably short time the streets
before the restaurant and for two
blocks in either direction as well as
for half a block down the side streets,
was absolutely closed.
Every entrance to a residence or a
store within the police lines was guard
ed by an officer, while on the house
tops opposite the cafe stood policemen
to keep these vantage points clear of
any evil disposed persons. The men
took up their station with the cer
tainty of well arranged plans, and
whenever some belated home comer,
whose residence was within the guard
ed zone appeared, he was accompanied
to his door by an oflioer and left with
the caution to remain indoors.
LET THERE BE LIGHT.

toilets of tho ladies and the well filled
lunch baskets, produced a veritable pic
nic ground effect. A flower was pre
sented each guest. One of the most
pleasing features of entertainment was

perplexity to the patrons of the supper,
which, however, was excellent. Nearly
5 people were served. The rooms were
prettily decorated for the O-cassion, the
prevailing feature being hearts. There
was a gramophone entertainment, and

SEVERAL NEW CANDIDATES.
Mark Nichols Would Be First Constable
More Aldermanic Candidates."
There will be no lack of candidates
when the citizens' caucuses are called
Friday and Saturday evening, and it is
a good sign when so many citizens are
ready to sacrifice personal matter to
serve tha city.
Candidates to head the ticket are not
so plentiful as they are for some of
the other offices. The Times asked
Abrarn Mann this morning if he pro
posed to enter the contest. He replied
that be was still undecided. Of course,
if the citizens should select him to stand,
ho will not decline the nomination. Sev
eral leaders in the workingmen's move
ment were questioned this morning re
garding their candidate for mayor. Each
replied that no particular man as men
were being talked of, that the selection
of a candidate would be left entirely
to the caucus when it assembled tomor
row evening.
For the oiliee of first constable, Mark
Nichols ia a candidate. Mr. Nichols
is a well known and substantial citizen
of the city who has had experience on
the police force and is therefore ac
quainted with the requirements of the
position. E. E. Perry who is now sec
ond constable, will not be a candidate
for reelection, and anyone wanting the
position should speak for it.
H. W. Scott has been suggested as a
good man for the position of assessor.
The name of Iieman K. ReynohU has
been suggested for the aldermanic nomi
nation in ward 3.
For the position of , school commis
sioner, the names of L. R. Hutchinson
and I, Gould More are being men
tioned. In ward 6, Win. Brown who was a
candidate for alderman last year, has
consented to stand again for the. nomi
nation, at tho request of his friends.
Victor Lovely is also a candidate from
this ward.
COMPLETES BIG JOB.
W. F. Rowland Back in Barre Again
From New York.
W. F. Ilowland returned last evening
from New York, where he has been set
ting up granite on tho immense St.
John's cathedral, 112th street and Am
sterdam Ave. He set up eight col
umns, each weighing 130 tons. The
work occupied twenty months. The
church will not bo completed for many
years; the. construction has already ta
ken fourteen years. When completed
it will be the finest building in the
country. A remaikablo thing in con
nection with tho setting up of the pii
lurs was that not a man was hurt. It
was the biggest job of tho kind ever
done in the United States.
Mr. Ilowland went to Mauehurik, Pa.,
after completing the New York job and
set up a largo canopy monument hav
ing a twelve foot base. It stands 43
feet high, and is all polished.
Mr. Rowland will remain here for
some time as he has a lot of work at
the quarries setting up cable ways. He
is pretty pleased to get back, as is Miss
Belden, his housekeeper, who has been
with him during his absence. Miss Bel
den has drawn all the money and paid
all the bills, and Mr. Howlatid says he
has hardly seen a dollar while away. He
made w !I on the job.

Strength of. Socialists in

The Socialists held a caucus in their
hall on Granite street last evening, and
voted to put a candidate in the field for
only one office, that of mayor, and the
caucus, declared William Scott as the
choice of the Socialist party to head
their municipal election. f

J i
WILLIAM SCOTT.
Socialist Candidate for Mayor,
tkm committees to represent them at
tha public Socialist caucus, -so at the
last evening's meet ing one of the mem
bers of this committee, Mr. Camininitti,
made the motion that only a candidate
for mayor be put on the party ticket.
He said, moreover, that what the So
cialists wished to find out at the com
ing election wns how many true Social
ists there are in Barre, and the commit
tee thought that one candidate for office
would determine this tetter than, a full
ticket. Mr. Scott did not agree with
the committee, but thought that can
didates for a full ticket should be nomi
nated. Some discussion followed, but
the vote determined that only one can
didate, that for mayor, should run.
Another vote was taken to determine
the choice of men for a candidate. With
little opposition, Mr. Scott was nomi
nated. The only objection to his name
being that it was feared the strength
of the Socialist party would be exag
gerated if estimated "by the vote cast
for him.
A vote was then taken to adjourn,
after a resolution was pasBcd ordering
that the platform of the Socialist party
as drawn up and read at the caucus,
he published.
The Socialist Platform.
Socialism means joint co-operation,
not merely for undertakings of a mo
nopolistic nature, but for all productive
enterprises!. Socialists seek the estab
lishment of industrial democracy
through the instrumentality of the state,
which they hold to be the onlv way
whereby it can be obtained. Socialism
contemplates an expansion of the busi
ness functions of government, until all
business is absorbed. All business is
then to be regulated by the people in
their orsranic ennneifv. ench ...n
each woman having the same rights,
which uny other man or any other wom
an has. Our political organization is
to become an economic industrial or
ganization. Private property in profit
producing capital and rent-prodiicing
land is to be abolished, and private
property in income is to bo retained,
but with this restriction that it shall
not be employed in productive enter
prises. What is desired, then, ia not,
as is supposed by the uninformed, a
division of property, but a concentra
tion of property. The Socialists do not
complain because productive property
is too much concentrated, but because
it. is not suificiently so. There nre four
elements in Socialism, namely, first, the
common ownership of the means of pro
duction; second, the common manage
ment of these means of production;
third, the distribution of annual pro
ducts of industry by common authority;
fourth, private property In the greater
portion of income. Socialists make no
war on capital, strictly speaking. What
Socialists object to is the private capi
talist. They desire to nationalize cnpi
tel and to abolish capitalists as a dis
tinct class, hy making everybody, as a
member of the community, a capitalist;
that is, a partial owner of all the
capital in the country. Our govern
ment owns the postolli'ce; most govern
ments own the telegraph. Nearly all
own the wapn roads, some own the
canals and railroads. Many governments
own factories. Probably even naihmivl
government does t Icist a lift!. nu-
