GRAND TRUNK BILL
PASSED MASS. SENATE
Bill Now Goes to the House for Concur
rence in the Amendments There
Were Some Sharp Fights
Over It.
Boston, June 4. Friends of the Grand
Trunk bill were strong enough to push
it through the Senate yesterday. With
no hurtful amendments attached, the bill
was passed to be engrossed. The bill
now goes to the House for concurrence in
the amendments.
The attempt of the "insurgent" mem
tiers of the Chamber of Commerce to se
cure amendments to. the bill binding the
Grand Trunk Railway company of Can
ada to aid in the development of the port
cf Boston failed to make much headway.
There were not sufficient votes to' get
n roll-call on the amendment offered by
Senator Mulligan of Natick, which
sought to compel the Canadian company
by contract or written agreement satis
factory to the directors of the port to
do everything it reasonably could to aid
and increase the import and export busi
ness of the port of Boston and to fix
rates that shall not discriminate against
the port of Boston in favor of any other
Canadian port to which it operates lines,
a he vote on the amendment was 3 to H.
Senator Brown of iledford had hi
anti-discrimination amendment taken
out of the special Grand Trunk bill, and
made a part of the general railroad act
fty as to cover not only the Southern
Jvew England, but all other railroads in
Jthe commonwealth. ,
An amendment offered by Senator
Jinkham in order to mpet the objections
of the savings banks to the bond clause
(was adopted. Jt provides that the bonds,
which mav be issued to the amount of
Awiee the capital stock, shall be secured
fry mortgages. The amendment is the
same as that placed on the Boston 4
.Providence electrification bill.
The sharpest fighting of the afternoon
came on the attempt made by Senator
Bennett of Saugus to put through an
amendment striking from the bill the
right of the railroad to buy and sell
steamships and negotiate in steamship
companies. It was urged as a means of
protecting trie public against a trans
portation monopoly. The amendment
was deteated, v to 2.).
TAFT CAPTURED OHIO'S
DELEGATES-AT-LARGE
President Defeated Roosevelt in the Ohio
State Convention at Columbus To
day, 3904 to 362V2.
Columbus. O.. June 4. President Taft
won in the. fight for Ohio's six delegates-
at-large to the Republican national con
vention at the state convention here to
day. The vote stood 390 to 302'.
TAFT'S STRENGTH SHOWN EARLY,
In the Preliminary Skirmishes of Ohio
Republican Convention.
Columbus, 0., June 4. President Taft
showed such strength in the preliminary
skirmishes that politicians last night
declared he was assured of Ohio's six
deleorates-at-lariie. In the new state
central committee, named by county
delegates before the opening of the con
vention, President Taft is conceded 11
of the 21 members. His strength in
the resolutions committee was shown
in the majority report last night. The
committee by a vote of 12 to 9 de
cided to recommend to the convention
that "we do heartily endorse the ad
ministration of William Howard Taft."
The minority members announced that
they would present a report strongly
endorsing Colonel Roosevelt.
In spite of the Taft strength in the
central committee, Chairman Walter F.
Brown, manager of Colonel Roosevelt s
campaign in the state, was re-elected by
a vote of 13 to 8. This was after the
delegates in a test vote had refused
to elect him temporary chairman by a
cte of II to 10.
The Taft forces were also winners in
the meeting of the credentials commit
tee. Seven contested Taft delegates
f:om Lawrence county and four from
Crawford county were granted credentials.
Walter Brown, as chairman, in call
ing the meeting to order, had the first
chance. "Representative government is
on trial in Ohio to-day," he said. "The
isuc- is whether this convention shall
represent the will of the people or
whether it shall misrepresent them. At
tlit primary election on May 21, the
Ropurdicans in 34 out of the 42 districts
declared decisively for former President
Roosevelt. Are you going to thwart the
expressed will of the Republican voters
of the state?"
Roosevelt's name brought forth the
first demonstration. Pro-Roosevelt dele
gates and alternates cheered several min
utes.
The Taft people got their chance a
ittle later, when Senator Burton men
tioned the president and enumerated
some of the accomplishments of the Re
publican party during the last, four
years. Led by the Cincinnati delegation, I
the delegates broke into a cheer which
was a little longer than that for Roose
velt. This was evened up a moment
ater when Senator Burton mentioned
Colonel Roosevelt's name.

James Grant, a Stone Cutter for Marr &
Gordon, Victim on Central Vermont
Track Near Granite Street
This Afternoon.
James Grant, a stone cutter employed
at Marr & Gordon's granite plant, was
run down by a shifting train near the
Granite street crossing of the Central
Vermont railroad at 1:35 this afternoon
and bad his left leg cut off and his left
arm badly mangled. Dr. William Mc
Farland was summoned, and B. W. Hook
er & Co.'s ambulance took the man to
the City hospital.
The accident was witnessed by several
people, among whom was Charles Chiera
velli and a flagman, who were standing
on opposite aides of the track. Grant
was walking up a siding toward the sta
tion, his back being toward the oncom
ing train. The train was backing into
the aiding, a box car leading. Both Mr.
Chieravelli and the flagman called to
Grant to get out of the way; but he
didn't seem to pay attention until just
as the train was upoB him when he
turned around, but too 'late to avoid
being hit. He was thrown down and un
der the wheels.
The train was stopped a soon a
possible, and the injured man wa pulled
out and placed beside the track. He
bled profusely before the arrival of the
physician, as the pool of blood there later
showed.
When asked regarding the accident,
Conductor Russell, who was in chaTge ot
the shifting train crew stated that he
was standing on the crossing and did
not see Grant on the track. The engine
men declared that they did everything
possible to halt their train.

preciation of the services of Supt. 0. D.
Mathewson of the public schools, who
closes his 22 years' engagement in Barre

of the school at Lyndon:
Whereas. Ozias Danforth Mathewson
has been superintendent of schools of
the city or Barre, Vermont, smee me
city was incorporated in 1805, and for
five years preceding he had been prin
cipal of Spaulding high school a period
ot twenty-two years ot enective, con
structive service, during which the school
system of Barre has grown from 12
teachers and about 400 pupils to ti
teachers and over 2,000 pupils, and seven
modern school buildings have been erect
ed. Anl whereas he has now at the call
of opportunity resigned the position he
has rilled so long and with such conspicu
ous success, and the resignation has been
reluctantly accepted, the members of the
board of school commissioners of the city

record their appreciation ot Mr. Matheur
son's exceptional services to the munici
pality, do hereby adopt the following
resolutions:

as a man, his wisdom in council, his in
dustry, his fidelity to duty, his persistent
efforts to bring the schools of' the city
of Barre to the highest possible point
ot excellence.
Resolved, That the unusual length ot
his service has resulted in the constantly
increasing efficiency of the schools in his
charge. He found here an unorganized,
undeveloped school system, lie leaves a
compact, well-equipped, well-organized
school system doing work second to none
in the state of Vermont and this brier
record of achievement is the best com
mentary on his work among us.
Resolved, That his efforts and ability
have been appreciated, not only at home
but in the wider sphere of the county
and the state, as attested by his service
as county examiner of teachers, as a
member of the state board of normal

of education, as well as by his activity
in the councils of the Schoolmasters
club and other educational bodies of the
state.
Resolved, That as he takes up his
new duties, involving grave responsibil
ities and holding promise of still greater
usefulness, he carries with him the re
spect, the confidence, the friendship of
the members of this board with whom
he' has been so long associated, and our
best wishes for the truest success in his
new field of endeavor.
Resolved. That these resolutions be
made a part of the records of the board
of school commissioners and that a copy
be furnished the press for publication.'

And Mrs. Teresa Bertolini Was Bound
Over to County Court
After a hearing in Barre city court
this forenoon, in which a dozen wit
nesses were heard, Judge Scott con
demned the liquor which was seized at
the residence of Mrs. Teresa Bertolini
on High Hollmrn street and ordered it
jdstroved. An appeal in the case was
taken, and bail was furnished, as it
was in the case of State vs. Mrs. Ber
tolini, charged with keeping liquor il
legally. The respondent in the case is a widow
with three children,, one of whom is in
a crippled condition. The woman has
taken in washings to care for her chil
dren, and she has received some aid from
the city. According to the report which
she tol'd to-day, the city paid $8 of her
$12 rent and during the . past winter
bought a little coal for her. She assert
ed that she could not get along on the
assistance which she received from the
city and the receipts from washings.
The crippled child needs a great deal
of attention, and during the winter she
was obliged to assist the child to school,
for fear that he Mould slip on the ice
and become further injured.
Several of the witnesses, heard this
morning, testified that they had secures
liquor of the woman, but on questioning
by her attorney they one and all denied
that they had agreed to help out in case
she should be arrested on the charge of
selling. At the same time they admitted
that they knew they were assisting her
to break the law when they induced hei
to sell them beer. After hearing the evi
dence, Judge. Scott announced that there
was nothing for him to do except to bind
the woman over to county court.
The respondent was represented bv
Attorney S. Hollister Jackson, while the
state was represented by Grand Juror
H. H. Carpenter.
In the case of State vs. A. Simonelli
and Stato vs. Orlandi, the respondents
waived examination yesterday afternoqji
and were bound over to county court.
