EVEN JUDGE THINKS SO
Wages Paid Were Higher Than

High Enough
In
Lawrence, Mass., Jan. 23. Even
Judge Mahoney before whom the al
leged dynamite plot eases were
brought now thinks the case Is mere
ly a "plant" , designed either to in
flame feeling or to keep up the ex
citement attendant on the strike.
Lawrence, Mass., Jan. 23. There
were few developments of Importance
yesterday In the strike of 15,000 tex
tile workers, both manufacturers and
strikers remaining firm in their de
mands. While 6000 Btrlkers, enmass
ed upon the common yesterday after
noon voted almost unanimously to re
Ject a proposition to meet the mill
owners in separate committees, the
various mill oilicials continued to em
phasize their assertions that they
would not deal with the strikers as
one body.
Another statement from President
William Wood of the American wool
en company was made public late
yesterday. President Wood said that
although he believes that the wages
In the textile Industry are too low,
he regrets that the demands of the
strikers cannot be granted now ow
ing to dull times. He said that, he
would gladly recommend an increase
of wages when conditions are suflic
lently Improved and declared that he
was ready to meet a committee of
the strikers from his mills. lie de
clared that the reports about the low
wages paid In his mills were untrue,
and added:
"The government reports show
that the wages paid at Law rence are
actually higher than In any other tex
tile district In the country. More
over, the fact that deposits in the
savings banks of Lawrence amount
to over 20,000,000 made largely by
mill employes, and the further fact
that since 1!00 over $800,000 has
been sent out of Lawrence to foreign
countries through the postofllco alone
(not to speak of the large amounts
sent through bankers and other chan
nets) are significant on the question
whether the rate of wages now paid
Is unfair."
Ex-President William D. Haywood
of the western federation of miners,
who was tried and acquitted on the
chargo of murdering Gov. Steunberg
of Idaho, will arrive in Lawrence be
fore tomorrow night to work In the
Interest of the strikers, according to
Joseph J. Ettor of New York. the
principal strike leader.
Investigations were continued last
night In connection with the finding
of three lots of dynamite In the city
Saturday. That tho dynamite was
"planted" Is the general belief
throughout Lawrence. This was
borne out by the fact that when the
eight persons arrested In connection
,wlth the finding of the explosive had
pleaded not guilty In the police court
yesterday, their cases were continued
until Friday. City Marshal Samuel
C. IOgun asked that this action be
taken, explaining that "things are
not yet" satisfactory to the police."
OLEOMARGARINE IN DEMAND
High
Price of Butter Makes Consum
ers Accept Substitute.
Springfield, Mass., Jan. 23. In
creased demand for - substitutes for
butter has been noticeable ns the re
suit of the high prices for that lux
ury, according to tho testimony of
local grocers, to such an extent that
tho number of applications to, sell
oleomargnrlne and that still more
eerie hybrid, butterlne, Is consider
ably larger than usual. The predic
tion Is that If tho prices continue at
their present level, many a small
boy will learn to bo contented with a
slice of bread aud butterlne who
would formerly have scorned that
offering. The substitutes have- never
Hold well In Springfield before, so
that many of the dealers dropped
their licenses, and are now renewing
them in view of tho present condi
tions. With substitutes for nhnost
nil regular household articles of diet
nnd with prices for everything stay
ing calmly up, It seems not far to
tho time when tho larger small boys
will havo to bo satisfied with some
thing like semliTgars and near beer.
Some light on the horizon for
Springfield diet has been seen by a
local dealer In the drop In the but
ter quotations In New York yester
day from 40ti cents to 39 cents.
This was taken as a sign that It was
becoming Impossible to keep up the
artificial booming of the price of
butter, and that wholesale prices, are
destined to drop soon. In this region
at least, the market will go down suf
ficiently, It Is thought to allow of a
reduction In the retail price.

AVIATOR WAS
KILLED
Foolish Stunts In the Air Were
Fatal
VICTIM IS A YALE MAN
Rutherford Page Had Been Trying to
Equal the Feats of Lincoln
Beechy
Los Angeles, Jan. 23: Rutherford
Page, 24, a Yale graduate, registered
from New York and flying as one of
the Curtis aviators, was Instantly
killed when he fell 150 feet yester
day on Dominguez field, a few mo
ments before the close of the third
day's program of tho third interna
tional aviation meet. Page was en
deavoring to "turn on a pivot" when
the swell of air over tho hangars
caught his planes. He made an ef
fort to regain his balance but evi
dently fearing the aeroplane was be
yond control gave up and when
about 60 feet in tho air jumped clear
of the machine and fell flat into the
plowed ground. According to the
doctors he was crushed to death.
Page was flying for the first time
as a licensed aviator, having been
awarded his license Saturday. His
earlier flying was one of the specta
cular features, despite a puffy and
treacherous wind. He was one 'of
the first to leave the ground. In the
first heat of the five miles handicap,
in which he and Lincoln Beachy, the
Curtisa veteran, were the contestants
Page thrilled the crowd by his sen
Rational maneuvers. All the dips and
sharp turns made by Beachy were
duplicated by Page, who was even
more daring.
The more experienced aviators
shook their heads when they wit
nessed Page's apparently foolhardy
evolutions, and when he descended,
Glenn Curtiss, who taught him to fly,
cautioned him against attempting to
nerfnrm fonts nt his first meet which
require much, experience to learn.
Pace laughed and assured Curtiss
that ho was "all to the good." Dur
ing the afternoon the young New
Yorker had told those about the hang
ers that he would beat Boachy or
"break my fool neck."
Page joined the Curtiss camp at
San Diego about six weeks ago, and
there he received his first instruc
Hons in flying. Mr. Curtiss said
Page's death was duo to lack of ex
perience and his " extreme daring
"Ho was more than fearless," said
Curtiss. "He had been called the
second Beachy and it was predicted
by all who had witnessed his early
flights that ho would be a world
beater if 6ome such thing as happen
ed today did not end his career."
Immediately after tho accident the
wreckage of Page's machine was
piled up and burned to prevent its
being carried away piecemeal by
souvenir hunters.

The last time you wrote you were
rather upset about tho wny your new

give you a few hints about the proper
way to treat your gns stove If yon
would have It last for many years.
Keep all gas stops closed tight when
not lu use. so that none of the fuel
will be wasted nud accident from es
caping gas are avoided.
If the itop
In the connecting pipe is turned off
when tho range Is not in use then no
fuel enn possibly leak out.
Turn the gas Into the main pipe nt
least three seconds beforo you attempt
to light the gas In the open burner.
This Is to nllow nil the air to escape
and assure a How of pure gns.
When the burner Is n double one
light the outer circle first nnd allow
the Inner circle to Ignite from that
flame.

It Is yellow nnd starts m( with n roar
there Is air In the pipe. Turn off the
stop, nnd then turn It on ngnln, nl
lowing n flow of gas for n second or
two before applying the mntch.
As soon ns food Hint Is being cooked
comes to the boiling point turn the
gns down to hnlf its full strength, and
the liquid will continue to IhiII gently
nntll the food Is cooked.
When using the oven the burners
should be lighted nt least five min

LA FOLLETTE WAS
GREETED BY
Made FlrSt Onslauqflt in New
York City
ROOSEVELT NOT PRESENT
Gifford Pinchot Introduced Wisconsin
Senator and Declared In His
Favor
New York, Jan. 22. The political
atmosphere in the East was further
charged tonight by the first appear
ance in this section of Seuator Rob
ert M. La Follette of Wisconsin since
he announced his candidacy as a
"progressive republican" for the pres
idential nomination.
In connection with the senator's
coining there was polilhil gossip to
the effect that Colonel Roosevelt
might also appear at the Carnegie
hall mass meeting which Mr. La Fol
lette adressed tonight and possibly
lend assistance to his "boom," but
ihe colonel was not present. He was
instead attending a dinner of several
prominent leaders in charity work at
the National Arts club, as guest ol
honor.
Gifford Pinchot, a clote friend of
President Roosevelt, who has been
regarded as a staunch Roosevelt lieu
tenant, appeared with Senator La
Follette, however, and in fact pres
hjed at the meeting.
If there has been doubt
as to
which man Mr. Pinchot, as common
friend of both Senator La Follette
and Colonel Roosevelt, would sup
port for the presidential nomination,
it appeared to be cleared In the em
phatic statement of Mr. Pinchot in
introducing the senator tonight "as
the candidate I support for the rfr
publican presidential nomination."
The chief aim then, Mr. Pinchot de
clared, was to keep tho progressive
groups from disintegration aud It
soon became plain that the move
ment should havo a candidate for
the presidential nomination. The
best that was hoped for then was
to prevent the nomination of a reac
tionary "but now wo know the man
who, for the sake of principle, was
willing to volunteer in a forlorn hope
has a good chanco to capture tbe
fortress."
While the meeting was under way
the crowd which sought admittance
grew to such proportions that the
police would not allow a further tax
upon the capacity of the large hall
and an overflow meeting was held In
the street, which tho Wisconsin sen
ator addressed while those inside
were hearing Mr. Pinchot and inter
rupting him several times with do
mands to hear the chief speaker.
When the senator was led to the
platform the audience roso nnd shout
ed and cheers were given for him ns
'The next president of the I nited
States."

SETTLE WITH 2
Both Widows of William
Hopkins
H.
WAS KILLE0 NEAR CHATHAM
urlous Case of Man Who Had Two
Wives and Both Legally
Wedded
Tho case of Mary Ann Dillion Hop
kins against the New York Central
Railroad company was settled in the
Onondaga county court at Syracuse
Y., Monday. The suit was brought
the plaintiff to recover damages
rom the defendant company for the
eath or tier husband, William H.
lopkins. an employe who was killed
ear Brainerd on the Chatham dlvls-
on of the Rutland division some two
ears ago.
Hopkins at the time of the acci-
ent which resulted In his death was
ving in this village and his estate
as settled through tho probate
ourt. A settlement was made by
he railroad company with the ad
ministrator who acted in behalf of
he widow.
After the estate had been settled
ho case which came before the On
ondaga county court Monday was
brought by the plaintiff who was able
prove that she was the wife of
lopkins by whom she had one son.
It had developed before the case was
brought that there had been a de-
ree of separation granted to Mary
Ann Dillion and William H. Hopkins
ut that there had never been any
divorce. Such being tho case the
ult was brought on the ground that
Mary Ann Dillion was the legal wife
of Hopkins and that her claim had Id
no manner been invalidated by the
revious settlement with the woman
whom Hopkins later married in the
belief that he bad a legal right to bo
come a party to such a union.
It was this second wife who lived
with him here and not Mary Dillion
lopkins who figures In this settle
ment. It Is a rather unusual thing
for a railroad company to be compell
ed to settle with two widows of the
iimn man.
ENJOYABLE COMEDY
May Irwin Company Greeted
by
Large Audience Last Night
Not In many months have the the-
atregoing people of Bennington had
an opportunity to witness such thor
oughly enjoyable comedy as was glv
en at tne opera house last even
ing by the May Irwin Co,
l'he comedy In itself, "She Knows
Better Now," like most comedies of
tho present day hasn't a large
amount of substance in itself, but
there is a large amount of fun In
tho piece, enough together with the
Inimitable and laugh-provoking ac
ting of Miss Irwin to keep an audi
enco highly amused for an entire
theatro session.
Miss Irwin has a national reputa
Hon as tho fat woman who years ago
went on ihe stage and made people
lauKh becauso she was fat and she
has been at It ever since. She
even fatter today than she was
Is
quarter of a centry ago and her abil
ity to amuse an audience has evident
ly Increased with her avlrdupolse.
Miss Irwin was supported last
evening by a well balanced company.
Arthur Byron as Nicholas Thorn p
klns, the husband of the leading lady
was particularly good. Lionel Glen
ister, as the English butler, wns an
unusually prominent butler even In
comedy and ho carried out the diffi
cult situations of his part in an
exceptionally droll manner.
During the second act Miss Irwin
sang several short songs ana pave
somo recitations which were roundly
applauded. Although sho was at a
disadvantage because of a cold she
nevertheless responded good humor-
edly to repeated encores.
OPTIONS FOR NEW INDUSTRY
National Corrugated Box Co. May Op
erate Factory at North Bennington
Tho National Corrugated Box com
pany, through Harry Hosier who has
directed the corporation's attention
in this direction, ha secured options
en tho old soap works property at
North Hctinlncton nnd also upon n
strip of land on the western side ofi
the railroad track. There has been J
a slight difficulty In straightening out,
Ihe title but It Is expected that this!
will bo done during tho next few
tin vs.
Tho company, which opernte " a
number of factories In different sec
tions of tho east, should havo the
proposed Industry in operation nt
North Bennington early In the spring
provided It Is grouted nn exemption
from taxation for a period of years.
The National Corrugated Box com
pany has been established In busi
ness for several years In tho manu
facture of strnwbonrd boxes which
are used to take tho place of pock
ing case. Its factories are distrib
uted about the country so a to fac
ilitate shipments and It Is for this
reason that It Is looking toward the
locating of another branch nt North
Bennington.
Should tho company decide to lo
rati' In North Bennlnalon Its plans
ns now outlined would call for tho
employment of about 15 men and 35
