team won its first important basket ball
victory of the season Saturday night,
defeating by the large score of 211 to
3, New Hampshire State College, which
last week bent Boston University Law
school 40 to 12. If this can be taken as
a fair indication of Vermont's strength
thw season bids fair to be the most suc
cessful in the history of the university,
A great improvement was noticed over
last week's game in the play of all the
men. The floor showed the mojt Im
provement .the support of men trying to
throw goals being practically perfect.
Then Vermont was better at covering,
giving New Hampshire only five or six
shots for goals. New Hampshire played
snappy ball and was good at passing but
when possession of the ball could not
seem to keep it iii Vermont's territory
for any length of time.

TRUSTEE
PROCESS
Bill to Exempt $10. of One's
Wages
PASSES THE HOUSE TO-DAY
Two New Bills in House, One Providing
the Constitution be Printed and
Circulated in Cchools, the Other
Relating to Bills of Officials
Montpelier, Dec. 10. What Is hoped
to be the last week of the present bi
ennial term of the Vermont legislature
started off slowly this morning. Both
branches were late in getting started.
House worked up to the limit. There
was a sharp debate in the House on a
bill relating to the trustee process, and
the House finally paasod the measure
giving an exemption of $10, whereas
there is none now. Mr. Chase of Greens
boro and Mr. Chedel of Stockbridge op
posed the bill, while Mr. Senter of Mont
pelier, Mr. Ricker of Groton, Mr. Porter
of Wilmington, Mr. Jackson of Barre
City, Mr. Mead of Rutland City and
Mr. Latham of Milton favored.
In making a strong defense of the
measure Mr. Senter of Montpelier
stated that he did not take this stand
because of any relation with a labor
union, because he did not believe in the
union idea or any trust idea. He was
sitpjorting the $10 exemption 1-ecanse
he believed it was right and fair and
that be believed the family of the work
ing man nhould not be left destitute. Tt
was stated by the supporters of the bill
that it was not intended to help a few
"dead beats" but the vast majority of
honest men.
An amendment was proposed by Mr.
Latham of Milton that the date of
operation of the increase lie July 1,
1007, instead of on its passage. This
position he took to enable merchants to
get on the cash basin meanwhile. As
amended the bill passed by a fairly de
cisive vote.
Asking for unanimous consent Mr.
Senter of Montpelier was granted per
mission to introduce a bill providing
that the constitution of the state be
printed and distributed among the
schools of the state. Mr. Senter then
asked that the unusual tMi-s; be done
and that the bill lie read through at the
first Teading.
Another new bill in the Houe today
and which is significant in view of the
sensational report which is expected
from the investigating committee on
railroad commissions and others, was
presented today by Mr. Bailey of Es
ses, providing that, claimants for sal
aries from the state must swear to the
bills presented and present the receipts
as vouchers, except in cases of railroad
and steamship tickets, single telephone
anI telegraph charges and single meais.
This investigation report, above re
ferred too, is expected to lie presented
tomorrow.
The Senete received a number of bills
from the House and icferred them to
committees. It also passed live bill and
then adjourned. -
UNDER THE GLITTER
OF THE GILDED DOME.
Hereafter it is likely that a woman
will lie placed on the board of visitors
to state institutions.
The House has thought better of its
slaughter of the bill to experiment with
the planting of nursery seedlings, and
will consider the bill again.
The committee on education wants
the appointment of a commission of five
to invest igate the normal schools of the
state. The House accepted it.
The faithful legislators hung on till
the lust gun was fired Saturday after
noon and did considerable, work. The
House worked until nearly four o'clock
passing ten bills.
The legislators who remained in Mont
pelier over Sonde y were plessed with
a concert at the Apollo club rooms lat
evening, a special invitation having
been extended to them.
The Senate does not take kindly to
the House proposals of amendments to
the cattle commission bill, and on Sat
urday afternoon refused to concur in
any of the five amendments proposed.
The House tins passed the bill relat
ing to railroads making it a requirement
of railroads to get the consent of the
railroad commission as to method of
heating all kinds,. of passenger cars, in
cluding those on mixed trains. This is
to hit, such a case as the recent Rut
land railroad accident at Vergennes.
The House passed in concurrence Sat
urday afternoon a bill designed to pre
vent wrong practices in elections, put
ting the appointment of election of
ofticers in tho hands of board of civil
authority. It is intended to hit cities.
Barre will not be affect ed as the election
oflicera arc named by the civil authority
board.
The bill to create a board of rail
road commissioners will come up as
special order tomorrow morning at
10:30, on motion of Mr. Jackson of
Barre City who introduced tlw bill. Be
sides giving additional powers to the
commission the measure provides an
annual stipend of $1,500 inhtead of per
diem n now.
