JACK POWERS CASE.

Jack Powers was arraigned in Coun-
ty court about four O'Clock on Monday
afternoon on the charges of a second
otfense of keeping with intent to sell
and maintaining nuisance. After
about two hours conference with w.
A. Lord and +. A. Bailey, his attor-
neys, he decided to plead guilty to
both charges. States Attorney Hoar
and Grand Juror Thomas made a sim
pie statement of the case to the court
and closed by classingsit as an ordi-
nary violation of the prohibitory law.
Powers attorneys followed and call
ed the attention of the court to the
fact that Powers has saved the ex-
pensesof trial to the State, that he
was without means and recommend
ed clemency in sentence.
The sentences given in the cases are
considered light. In the keeping case,
Powers was sentenced to not less than
eight nor more than ten months CON
finement in the house of correction
and to pay $40 fine and costs.
In the nuisance case he was sentenc-
ed to not less than two nor more than
three months confinement in the
house of correction and to pay $40
fine and costs. Thus if he is on good
behavior his entire sentence will
amount to about eleven months
The maximum sentences in these
cases would have amounted to over
five years confinement, counting
three days for every dollar of fine. The
maximum sentence in the keeping case
could have been one years imprison-
ment and fine of 5000 and costs. In
the nuisance case it could have been
a fine of 500 and costs or three
months Imprisonment and fine of $50
and costs. Powers costs will not i'll
clude the expense of his eXtradtion,
about 5000. Powers asked the court
that he be committed at once, and the
court ordered that the mittimus be is
sued some time this week, remarkinp
that there may be others to go, He
will probably be taken to Rutland
next Saturday.

MAY BE MURDER.

Excitement ran high at White River
Junction Sunday evening over the
shooting of +. T. Gosher, a local
painter, by S. d. Waite, the alleged
spotter, ON the Junction House We
randa.
Waite drove in from Woodstock in
the afternoon and took supper at the
junction House. After supper he
started to go for team and met
Gosher on the steps. Some words
passed, when Waite drew revolver
and fired three shots. One struck
Gosher two inches below the navel an
inch to the right, another went
through W. st. Johns overcoat, a
bystander, and the third struck the
floor.
Gosher walked across the street to
DR.. Worthen's office and fell Medi-
cal assistance was called The local
physicians and Drs. Smith and Gile
of Hanover operated at s 40. The
chances are unfavorable for his recov-
cry. Deputy Sheriff Peck was near the
scene of the shooting and arrested
Waite. He took away from him a
long thirty-two calibre revolver, three
chambers of which were empty.
Deputy Sheriff Spafford and Officer
Williams started at once for Wood
stock with Waite handcuffed to the
latter. They had to hurry or the
prisoner would have been lynched
Just before the operation, Gosher said
that he did not expect to live, that
he had not touched Waite, that the
latter deliberately drew a revolver and
shot him. DR.. Smith later said that
there was little chance for Gosher
Waite was the informer on the poker
players raided there December 1, and
is under bail for exhibiting obscene
pictures. He is now in Woodstock jail

THE FATHER DEFEATS SON
ELDER CH1LLINGwoRTH DOES
UP YOUNGER.
Defended Chinese Before Judge WI
cox Today While the Son Prosecuted
Case--Defendant was Discharged.

Father was pitted against son yes
terday i'm Judge Wilcox court end fa-
Their won. IL was in the case against
All Hiu charged with having che-fa
tickets i'm his possession. Deputy She
riff Chillingworth prosecuted the case
while his father appeared FOR the de-
PENDANT
The younger Chillingworth testified
to having arrested the defendant on the
night of the 10th in room in which
several other Chinese were sitting The
defendant was holding in his hands al
the time that the officers entered a
piece of paper with Chinese writing up
on it. AS soon as the officers entered
the man showed this paper in the draw
er at the table where the defendant was
seated, and locked the drawer. When
this drawer was opened Chillingworth
found several che ia tickets. 1t was
claimed by the prosecution that he
defendant had been in possession of
the tickets.
When translated the particular piece
of paper which the defendant had been
holding proved not to be a che-fa ticket
but merely a memorandum of che-fa
tickets. The other slips of paper in the
drawer but which the defendant had
not held were tickets used in che-ta.
The elder Chillingworth first moved for
a dismissal on the grounds that the
alleged offence had been committed in
Honolulu. within the jurisdiction of the
court. Judge Wilcox said that this had
been proved and the records were so
amended as to show it. The motion
was denied.
In his own behalf the defendant
swore that he did not know how to
read or write and had merely been a
caller at the place where arrested.
Wong Loo swore that he and not the
defendant was the owner of the table
and contents. Inasmuch as Wong had
shortly before paid fi~7 of $25 for
having the aforesaid tickets in his pos
session the prosecution could not very
well get around this evidence
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth tried to
prove that All Hiu could write for he
asked if he had not signed his name
at the registry office. The defendant
said that all he could write was his
own name.
The court remarked that he had
known of some men who had held quite
important positions under the govern
ment who could not do much more in
the writing line, and as there was a
doubt as to whether the defendant had
been in possession of the tickets he
would discharge him.

lector There were i've customs ms
pectors detailed on the vessel at the
time. but It Is not any part OF their
duty to watch the Chinese, for whom
the steamship people are responsible.
Collector Stratton has reported the
negligence Of the company's employees
to United states District Attorney
Woodwork, who viii bring action e. re-
cover me penalty of $500 each, prescribe
ed i'm the immigration regulations.
Woodwork says. however that he is
doubtful regarding the result. as the
special legislation covering Chinese inn
migrants throws the burden on the
master of the vessel only IN cases of
gross negligence, or where conspiracy
can be shown to smuggle the Chinese
on shore.
An attempt was made yesterday by
a Chinese on the City of Picking to run
up freight gangplank and escape to
friends waiting on the freight
dock, where he could have eluded cap
ture. Customs Inspector Liddy was too
quick for him, and, with the assistance
of the inspector in charge, caught him
and locked him up.

His Simple Life and Small Board
Bills.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
One of the earliest of the business
strokes which made the material fortune
of Benjamin Franklin was a brilliant
manipulation of his board bill. When an
apprentice to his brother he read a book
on VegetarianiSm and became a convert.
His refusal to eat flesh caused an incon-
v%enience at his boarding house, and he
therefore learned how to prepare food
according to the vegetarian theory. Then
give him half the money paid for his board
he would board himself.
This was done and Benjamin saved half
of the half. He gives in one Of his let
ters the interesting that his
dinner often consisted OF a slice of bread
or a biscuit, a handful of raisins and
a glass of water: In later years on a
becalmed opposite Block island and the
sailors fished for cod. Franklin held to
his vegetarian theories even when the
fragrant odOrs ascended from the frying
one of the fish was opened it contained
smaller fish, whereupon he exclaimed:
IF you eat one another l don't see why
we may not eat you" And then he ate,
and, TO quote Parton's words, after
wards continued to eat h other people
ate"
But Franklin was simple in his eating,
and to a great extent he lived the simple
life. This life of low diet and high thought
has been preached to every generation and
just now we are hearing more about it than
ever. The increased cost of meats is Sc
rious. According to the housekeeper it
takes S25 to buy to-day what could have
been easily purchased for less thar $50 two
years ago. The household expenses have
gone up faster than the household income.
There has been no diminution of appetite,
but, on the other hand, the strange per-
versity of humankind is never shown quite
so strOngly as in wanting a thing most
when least able to get it. A dyspeptic may
dismiss the bill Of fare for days; but let
him know that there is nothing in the
house to eat and he will at once become
hungry. The curious effect of a prohibition
state on men who never drink is that it
makes them thirsty and wicked, and Thos.
3. Reed has stated that the reason they
have liquor in Maine is to save the lives Of
strangers.
There is another difficulty in trying to
drive people back into the simple life,
which in the final form is vegetarian. The
| rise in prices has affected everything. The
vegetable crops have been bad. 1t costs
much money even for a vegetarian to dine
satisfactorily. Thus II happens that the
average man has to accept the best that
comes and be thankful for all he gets. The
simple life is still beautiful but it costs just
the same.

to harass the Philippians. Then an oracle
declared that the sacrifice of Andromeda
would appease Neptune, so she was chained
to a rock, but was rescued by Perseus, and
after death was changed into a constella-
ton. 3. The originator of Sunday schools.
He was born in Gloucester, England, Sept.
IA, 1875, became editor and publisher OF the
Gloucester Journal. and in 1871 founded a
system Of Sunday schools that, before his
death, in 1911, had spread pretty much all
over England.
Will you describe the outfit and methods
or a cold storage warehouse?
Several substances are used in refriger-
ating processes, but anhydrous ammonia
is the one most extensively employed. In
one method of its use the plant includes e
pump for COMPRISING gas, this driven by
a steam engine; a nest Of pipe connecting
with the pumps outlet and so drenched
with cold water as to constitute a con-
denser; beyond the latter's outlet a tank
to collect liquid ammonia, and. next, a
nest of pipe in brine or other fluid that will
not CONCEAL at the lowest desired tempera-
ture. Then series of pipes In which the
cold brine or other fluid may circulate
connect with the rooms to be kept cool. In
operation a tank of liquid ammonia is con-
nected with the cooler and the pump is
started. The ammonia is at high pressure
and its vaporization is rapid, as is the re-
duction of the brine's temperature. When
the last process mas reached the desired
point, the cold brine is circulated through
the refrigerating chambers pipes. The
temperature maintained in these rooms va
ries will the articles stored; meat is kept
at about Is degrees Fahrenheit, beers at
about SC degrees and fish requires a tenn
p%erature near to zero.
