Democratic Nominee Declares the Oli
garchy ia in Charge of the Party
Candidate Swinging West.
En Route with Governor Cox, Sept.
The western "swing" of Governor
Cox was opened to day with a before-
breakfast rear-platform address to
railroad station crowd at Toledo, while
the candidate was en route to Michi
gan. "We are in the fight to win," he jiaid.
'We will win because our cause de
serves to win."
In urging the league of nations at
Toledo, Governor Cox referred to the
present disagreement over German in
demnities. "The voice of America," he said,
"must fix it. Now they say that we
should substitute for the league the old
Hague tribunal. That institution
closed up before the war. I imagine
there are bats in it belfry and spider
weba everywhere. It was a distinct
failure. Having failed to prevent war
in 1!H4. The opposition candidate
saya he will go back and open thia old
institution and trv to keep house
there."
Declaring that the league "is the
modern idea of bringing the nearest
guarantee of peace," Governor Cox said
it was a progressive plan and that Sen
ator Harding stood for reaction as he
had done also in opposing the new Ohio
constitution.
The governor reiterated his charge
that Republicans were receiving con
tributions from persons "who would
substitute the bayonet for the golden
rule under a reactionary national ad
ministration." He said the "senatorial oligarchy
has stolen and taken charge of the
Republican party."
He added that, on his trip he was
going to eee thousands of front
porches from coast to coast in the be
lief that the front porch of the peo
ple is the seat, of American sov

BURRELL INQUIRY
GETS STARTED
Hears Statement from Governor Cool-
idge and Then Goes Into Exec-
utive Session.
Boston, Sept. 3. The committee of
five legislators appointed by Gov. Cool
idge to investigate the conduct in office
of state Treasurer Fred J. Burre!!, met
to-day and, after discussing with the
governor the scope of their inquiry,
went into executive session. Gov. Cool-
idge said he had urged on the members
ot the committee that thev get to
work at once.
At the outset of the investigation
the. committee had no documents be
fore it, but reports were expected dur
ing the day from State Auditor Alon-
zo B. Cook on his examination of the
treasurer's accounts, and from Bank
Commissioner Joseph C. Allen on the
amount of state funds on deposit with
various banks at stated times, togeth
er w ith a statement as to which banks
had enraged Treasurer Burrell's adver
tising1 agency to art for them.
The committee is under ordera from
the governor to investigate the conduct
of Treasurer Burrell "in relation to the
deposit of moneys of the common
wealth in the different banks and his
reasons therefore."
It has been alleged that the treasur
er solicited business for his advertising
agency from banks, and that he placed
dspos.it ia excess of the legal amount
with certain institutions.
Boaton, Sept. 3. Captain Paul Hurl
burt was a son of Henry K. Hurlburt,
Boston lawyer, with offices at 33
State street. He was educated at St,
Paul's school at Concord, X. H., and
later entered Harvard. For a time be
was on the staff of the governor of
Xew Hampshire and saw service in
Mexico, and about the time 'of the
breaking out of the war he entered
the regular army and went overseas
and was connected with the 3d cavalry,
immediately being promoted from the
rank of temporary captain to full eap
tain.' He had been at Fort Ethan Al
len for about a year. As the voting
man. who was -0 years of age, had
been in excellent health, no cause can
be ascribed by his family for his act.
BODY OF SUICIDE
GIVEN TO WOMAN
WHO PROVED CLAIM
of
Three Women Asserted That "Flash1
, Rogers Was Their Husband, But
Houston, Texas, Woman
Had the Best Proof.
Boston, Sept. 3. The body
"Flash" Rogers, a boxer, who commit
ted suicide by gas, was given to-day to
Mrs. Ruth E. Rogers of Houston, Tex
as, as that of Manuel A. Rogers, her
husband, after two other women had
claimed it. The description which each
woman gave' of her missing husband
'fitted the body almost exactly and the
names were identical, but the possi
bility that he had married all three
was eliminated by the dates they gave
It required several hours for the au
thorities to dispose of the conflicting
claims.
Rena Rogers of Xew Bedford first
claimed the body as that of the man
she married in that city in 11)13. He
disappeared in 1918. Ruth E. Rogers
said she met the man while he was
soldier in camp at Houston, Texas, in
11(17, and had lived with him since,
except for the time of his service over
seas, and a week before his death
when they separated, after a quarrel
While Medical Examiner William J
Buckley was trying to weigh these
claims, a telephone call came from an
other woman, who had read of Rogers'
death, and said he was her husband
but her claim was thrown out, w-hen it
was found that the body did not show
a scar she mentioned.
In each instance the woman gave the
man's measurements, age and prinei
pal items of description as the medical
examiner had found them. A picture of
Ruth K. Rogers in the effects of the
dead boxer, and a reference to her. .in
ths note which announced his intention
to commit suicide, eventually estab
lished her claim.

recorded.

TOWN LISTER ON TRIAL.
Charged with Undervaluation of Ver
mont Marble Co. Property.
Rutland, Sept. 3. A huge" pile of
marble blocks, estimated bv the state's
expert witness to be valued at $l,l!H,
624 and which is in the list at $20,
000 on which Vermont Marble com--
pany is paying taxes, was the first un
usual evidence introduced in the pros
ecution of the case of State against
illiam R. Dwyer, a lister of the town
of West Rutland, in which he ia
harged by State's Attorney P. M. M.
Phelps of Fair Haven with malfeasance
of office. It is specifically charged that
he understated the value of thia pile
of marble blocks with intent to de
fraud the town of taxes and in favor
of the marble company.
it is a unique case in more ways
than one and when the trial started
yesterday morning the chief counsel of
the Vermont Marble company appeared
as counsel for the respondent His at
torneys now include Attorney L. R.
Xoble and Edwin W. Lawrence, Bert
L. Stafford and Asa Bloomer of the
firm of Lawrence, Lawrence k Staf
ford. State' Attorney Phelps is be
ng assisted by hia partnor, Judge
Leo E. Pratt, in the presentation of
the state's side of the case,
It Is alleged that Mr. Dwyer while
acting with the two other listers, L.
Holt and Fred J. Lanthier, swore
falsely as to the value of the personal
property of the Vermont Marble com
pany in West Rutland and also that
he exempted certain other property,
ncluding the Wcstland quarry and the
ime plant of the same companv from
axation without the authority of the
oters.
It developed yesterday that the
slate's attorney in his investigation of
he ease finds the town of West Rut
land with a strange grand list for the
present year. It is only sworn to by
wo listers and it is said that one of
these is disqualified. . In the years

officer could find no official records of
the town meetings of those two years
and no official document purporting
to be the legsl call for the town meeting.

OVER laoo MOTOR ACCIDENTS

Have Been Reported to the Vermont
Secretary of State.
The automobile acvidents in Ver

Barre , Drug Co. to Have Its Opening
To-morrow Morning.
To-morrow morning marks an epoch
in the life of the Barre Drug Co., when
it opens the,doors of its new store and
invites the public of Barre to inspect
it. Excellent arrangement of depart
ments, tastefully installed illumina
tion and a pleasing amount of floor
space are the mott noticeable features,
of the store. s
In many drugstores some of the de
partments have been sacrificed to oth
ers, particularly the musical depart
ment. This is not true in the case of
the new Barre drugstore.' Every de
partment is on an equal basis, and each
is so situated that there is no enroach
ing or overlapping. Each has its own
particular place.
The entire establishment has reen
fixed up in the most modern manner.
The soda fountain has all the latest
devices. Fruit wells, protected by a
special patented top to prevent the en
trance of dirt and flies, are only one
instance of this. The fountain is a 20
foot united one, is aclf-refrigerating
and made in a manner "which insures
heathful conditions. Two draft sta
tions and two sinks are added features.
The entire stand is, composed of slate
and marble, not a bit of wood being
used in its manufacture.
The new store has branched out in a
new direction with its opening, and has
installed a complete line of Fathe phon
ographs and records. The rear of the
room has been chosen as the best place
in which to show these machines, as
there the customer may have the feel
ing of seclusion desired in many in
stances. The ample space in the build
ing also gives a listener an opportunity
of hearing a record at a slight distance,
allowing a better opportunity to gain
the full tone at its best advantage. It
is safe to say that there ia no better
fitted out record and phonograph de
partment in the city.
Aa a special feature, the managers
office is in the rear lefthand corner,
and is raised to a height sufficient to
allow a survey of every section of the
room. Directly underneath is a mod
ern laboratory for the prcparatian of
prescriptions, well fitted out, and in
easy reach of the various drugs re
quired.
In the" establishment of the tobacco
department the management has again
expanded, in an effort to offer tbe pub
lie the best there is to be had An that
line of soods, and has obtained the
agency for the United Cigar store,
carrying the best of cigars at the most
reasonable prices.
To a customer the appearance of the
new store is one of the best. There is
a large amount of open 'floor space, and
it is in a compact form, rather than in
extended alleyways. The woodwork ia
mission finished in a pleasing green
the walls washed with an attractive
grayish green, and the ceiling of spot
less white, dotted now and then by
modern light fixtures, well placed and
assuring the public of a soft light,
clear, yet not dazzling.
The front of the store contains three
large show windows, and was designed
by E. J. Bolen of Boston, the architect
for the Black Theatre Co., to corre
spond to the front of the new Black
theatre now in process of construction.
Two entrances appear, one fronting
Main street, close to the expected exit
of the theatre, and the other facing
diagonally up toward City square,
The new store will be under the man'
agemcnt of Charles Zanleoni, jr., and
Joseph Zanleoni. They will be assisted
by J. K. Pheulpin, who has been em
ployed in a similar capacity in Boston
up to the present time. The soda foun
tain will be under the direction of
Brunetto Chiardi, who will have Ben
Gmile, formerly employed at Lander's
cigar store, as his assistant.
The store will be opep to the public
for the first time to-morrow morning.
Everyone will have an opportunity to
observe the modern equipment, the well
lighted interior, and the well arranged
departments, and nothing but a good
opinion' of the establishment,
thought, can be formed.
