CHIEF DEMER1TT REPLIES

In regard to the statement in the
TELEGRAM few days ago relative to
a Barre man being censured for max
ing TOO much noise in the Capital City
while a band concert was goiug on.
Chief Demeritt makes the following
reply:
Eyes it is also unfortunate that
that some people conduct themselves
in such way at our band concerts
that police officers services are re-
quired there; but such is the case just
because some people, instead OF keep
ing quiet as they should, are visiting,
talking, cracking jokes and laughing,
and in fact, disturbing those who are
lovers of music and are there to enjoy
it, not only from Barre but elsewhere.
Now, if all would keep quiet while
the band is discoursing its sweet melo.
dies, a police officers services would
not be required and all would be bar
mony." G. e. DEMERITT.

WAS A JOKE
SECRET SESSIONS NOT NEEDED
Proposal for Open Sessions Here.

Rules and Senate Goes
Into seclusion.

WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-Mr ClapH
(Minn.) today called up his resolution
providing that further discussion of the
pending Hay-Pauncefote treaty should ba
had in open session.
Addressing the senate briefly, he said
that while the resolution was not intro@
duced as a joke, the country regarded
the executive sessions of the senate as
farce. He did not think there was any
occasion under ordinary conditions for
secret sessions of the senate. Despite
every effort of the senate, the American
people did obtain reports of secret ses-
sions. While his resolution, he believed
would be shelved. he was of the opinion
that the executive sessions will become
part of the tradition and rubbish Of
this great people Of ours
Mr.. Mason Qll) conceded with the
views expressed by Mr. Clapp and de-
clared that the senate's executive ses-
sions were an ancient barnacle' which
ought to be swept away.
Mr. Mason was interrupted by Mr..
Money (N1iss) who raised point of or
der against discussion of the question in
open session, but finally the resolution
was referred on motion Of Mr.. Spooner
(Wfs.), to the committee on rules.
Then, at 1912 p. M, the senate went
into executive session and at 6:23 adj
journed.
