In 1870 Mr. Baer, who had already attained prominence In his profession though not yet tbirty years old, prosecuted an action for damages against the Reading Railroad so sbly And successfully that he was made counsel for the railroad company. In this position he was able to extend the field of his operations, and so successfully did he embrace the opportunities offered to him, that be soon became an important factor in many industrial and financial en r. .^V. oiywmi; iU turn Willing companies. For a considerable time Mr. Baer was the confidential adviser of J. Plerpont Morgan. The two co-operated in the plan to unite under one management all the coal-carrying railroads with terminals in New York city. When the reorganisation took place In 1901 Mr. Baer was elected president of the Reading Company, the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company, the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company and the Central Railroad 'Company of New Jersey. In dvery strike and labor trouble i in the anthracite coal field during the past decade Mr. Baer has directed the fight in behalf of the operators. He waged the great fight for the mlqp owners in 1902 and when a general strike was again threatened upon the expiration of the wage scale last spring it was Mr. Baer who negotiated an amicable agree-1 ment with the United Mine Workers. sp=SgL At aa adloeraed hiaetliu of the official baerd of the Christian chefcth, h?ld Wedneedej BUM.

Comparison of returns for five ol the fourteen counties show that the Democrats carried Caledonia county and the Republicans were successful in the Grand Isle, Orange. Washington, Lamoille counties. The result of the election la greatly encouraging to the Progressive party of the state. Both Progressive and Democratic leaders professed to see In the result a good prospect to defeat the Republicans In the Presidential election in November iff Vermont. The fact that the Republican majority in Vermont has fallen below 25.660 Is an indication, according to soma political ohaswer* Progressive* and Democrats, of the defeat of the Republican national administration in November.

Vermont Result Pleases Wilson. Seagirt, N.

The Governor said the big Democratic vote wag "very gratifying." It was dUficult, however, be said, to analyse the results in Vermont on any comparative basis because the total vote was so much larger this year than two years ago, and It was hard to trace the sources of the galas. At any rats, lis said, the Vermont election indicated a heavy vote throughout the country in the coming election, and ho sold that he regarded It g* significant that the Democrats had trr.^Hed ths cities through out Vermont.
