THE Vermont Issue. >

The Anti Saloon League has started
a monthly publication at Burlington
called The Vermont Issue It is to be
edited by G. w. Morrow and II. A.
Durfee. In it's salutatory it says in
part:
'The Vermont Issue enters the field
as the official organ of the Anti Saloon
League of Vermont, to stand as an ex-
ponent and defender of the Prohibi-
tory Law of the state and for the diff
fusion of the principles of Christianity
in the field of temperance.
The Vermont Issue is thoroughly
committed to the belief that the Yer
mont PrOhibitory Law is the best law
enacted in behalf of temperance;
that the people of Vermont believe in
the principle of prohibition and in the
prohibitory law and desire it's impair
tial enforcement"

LIEUT.=GOVERNOR ALLEN INDICTED.

! Lieut.. Gov. M. F. Allen, vice presi
dent and director of the Farmers
National bank, recently suspended,
and J. w. Ketchum, representative to
the legislature from Vergennes and
/ publisher of the Vergennes Enterprise,
were arrested Monday by United
States officers, uuder indictments
charging them with completely with
Cashier D. II. Lewis, in wrecking the
Vergennes bank. The indictments
were found by the United States grand
jury at Windsor last week, and are on
two counts, in each case charging
completely in the embezzlement of
funds of the bank and with falsifying
the accounts. Clerk of the Court
George E. Johnson, accompanied by
Seneca HaZleton, counsel for Lieut.
Gov. Allen, went to North Ferrisburgh
where a hearing was had, bail being
fixed at $4,000. Mr.. Allen immedi-
ately furnished the required amount
of bonds.
Mr.. Ketchum was taken to Burling
ton after his arrest for hearing be-
fore the United States commissioner
in that city. He pleaded not guilty
and was held in $4,000 bonds. AS he
failed to furnish bail he was locked up
in the Chittenden county Jail.
When Cashier Lewis was collector
of taxes at Vergennes, Ketchum was
clerk to Lewis at reported salary Of
$500 year; he also received from the
cashier $500 a year additional for
which he at times assisted in the ad-
ministration of the banks affairs. In
come ction with Ketchum's s knowledge
of the banks affairs, it was stated that
at the time Lewis was examined
before the board of directors of the
bank he acknowledged, among other
things, loans to Ketchum of $500 of

SUPREME COURT DECISION ON
PORTO RICO.

In the United States supreme court
down in all but two of the cases before
that court involving the relation of
the United States to it's iDsular posses
sions The De Lima case was the first
to receive the attention of the court,
and, as it appeared to be quite sweep
ingly opposed to the governments
contentious, many persons precip-
itately arrived at the conclusion that
the government had been worsted all
along the line. This view suffered a
decided change when the conclusion
was announced in the Downes case.
The court was very evenly divided on
both cases, but political lines we're not
at all controlling.
The De Lima case involved the pow
er of the government to collect duty
on goods imported into the United
States from Porto Rico after the rat
ification of the treaty of Paris and be-
fore the passage of the Porto Kican
act. The court said the governments
contention in this case was substan
TALLY claim that Porto Rico is for
eign territory. The entire case turn
ed upon that contention. The court
held that the position was not we'll
taken; that Porto Rico was not at
the time foreign territory, and that,
therefore duty which had been col
Iected must be returned.
The decision in the Downes case fol-
lowed the history of the dealings of
the United States with Porto Rico a
step farther. That case dealt with
the legality Of the exaction of duties
on goods imported from Porto Rico
into New York after the Foraker act
providing for duty upon goods ship
ped from the United States into Porto
Rico and also on those shipped from
Porto Rico to the United States. In
this case the court held that such ex
action was legal and constitutional.
The point Of the two opinions con-
sidered collectively, is that Porto Rico
was never after the acquisition of that
island foreign territory: that until
congress acted upon the question no
duty could be collected, but that as
soon as congress outlined a method of
controlling the islands revenues that
action became binding; in other
words, that congress has power under
the constitution to prescribe the man
ner of collecting the revenues of the
country's insular possessions and has
the right to lay duty on goods i'm
ported into our insular possessions
from the United States or exported
from them into the United States. 1t
holds in brief that for taxation pur
poses they are not a part of the Uni
ted States to the extent that goods
shipped between their ports and the
United States are entitled to the same
treatment as though they were ship
ped between New York and New Or
leans.

the banks money at one time and
$11OO later. When asked if Ketchum
knew of Lewis frauds on the bank
and if the loan was given Ketchum
simply that he might not make these
frauds public, Lewis stated that both
facts were true.
1t is claimed that Lieut. Gov. Aliens
explanation of his position in the
affair is even worse than the offense
alleged. It is claimed he explains the
$4,000 over deposit credited to him by
saying that he did not know how
much money he had in the bank, but
kept drawing nevertheless. Another
singular feature is his alleged borrow
ing $4,000 from Burlington bank as a
loan for the Farmers bank. This
$4,000 was entered on the Farmers
banks books as a deposit by Mr..
Aliens daughter. Later it was cred
tied to his own account and he checked
out $4,000 of it and Cashier Lewis used
in the Burlington bank became due it
was met with the banks funds, but
instead of charging Mr.. Allen or his
daughter with the $4,000, it is credited
to her account again, and again
checked out again by Mr.. Allen.
This deal gave Mr.. Allen $4,000, and
while it is not known just how much
he has overdrawn, it is believed the
sum will amount to between SIS, 1000
and $50, 900. The queer part of his
explanation is said to be that, while
he was checking out the sums he
should claim that he did not know at
the time what his balance in the bank
was

Correct.

In Williston, where 118 cattle affect
ed with tuberculosis were slaughtered
in one day, it is said that farmers who
have suspected cattle are driving
them out of town under cover of
darkness and selling them to whoever
will buy. Burlington suspects that
many of them are being killed and the
affected meat is being sold in the Bur-
ington market. A man who refuses
to have his cattle tested and then will
sell those he suspects are diseased
ought to serve a term in the peniten-
tiarY.-BeLIOlus Falls Times.

Vermont Must Pay 1t.

Acting Comptroller of the Treasury
Mitchell has decided adversely the
claim of the state of Vermont for the
reimbursement of S6,O72 paid to Off
GERS and men of the First Vermont
infantry, national guard, prior to the
date of their assembly at the rendez-
vous named by the governor at the
outbreak of the Spanish war. The
comptroller holds that the reimburse
ment of compensation or pay is limit
ed as to the beginning of such to the
time the officers and men assembled
at the rendezvous.

Significant Statistics.

Fitchburg, Mass; has just ended a
year of license, and the saloons closed
last week. During the year there
were go drunks arrested, while during
the previous no-icense year there
were 458 arrested.-North adams
Transcript.
Didn't we hear somebody arguing a
short time ago that there was more
drinking under prohibition than under
license? Strange that Fitchburg
should prove an exception to the rule
that license advocates are trying to
establish Then again what, in this
that if city or town votes no license,
public opinion will enforce the law?

Women Read Advertisements.

An observing advertiser says that
when a woman takes up a newspaper
she first turns to advertisements
This will not be disputed by persons
who have seen how women crowd the
stores. A part of their business in
life is to buy things, and it is as natu-
raj that they should be interested in
advertisements as it is that the stock
speculator should be interested in the
ticker. Any advertisement which
contains news about desirable com
modities Will be widely read.-Barre

that corporations are soulless" is

Trouble at PekiD.


The United States legation at Pekin
has had its first trouble. Legation
street is being repaired near the lega-
ton and an American sentry was
placed at the point with orders to
direct people around by side street,
Everybody obeyed with the exception
of the Germans, both officers and men
who have caused the American sem
tries much trouble.
One of the German officers drew his
sword and charged an American SOL
der who brought his bayonet to
"charge" whereupon the officer de-
sisted. Subsequently a German SOL
dier charged past the sentry who fired,
hitting another German soldier near
the German legation quarter of
mile off. This was only light flesh
wound. The sentry has been placed
under arrest and Major Robertson has
instituted an investigation.

in their strong propensity TO play
games and were often together engaged
in that pastime. Shortly after the great
game was played Hedges left the city
and was reported to have engaged In
the trotting of horses throughout the
country. For many years he has been
dead to the world so far as any knowl-
edge of his whereabouts is possessed
by the citizens of Newburg. When these
three gathered about the board the big
game progressed as do few poker
games. II went on hour after hour,
getting more exciting every turn OF the
hand on the clock, and when ii came
time to stop Weed was in debt to the
other players round 100000. 1t was
never thoroughly believed that Weed
intended to give up TO his antagonists
that portion of his fortune. His pride
as player and the goading he re-
ceived from the others kept him in the
game and he continued to chip in, with
the hope of ultimately retrieving what
he had lost. But it was the old story,
and he found that his luck had left
him. Try as he would, with an occa-
sional bluff, he failed to get back his
money At last some one proposed to
change the game to see If his luck
would also change. No one ever knew
except the players themselves. who pro-
posed the new game, but it is very
probable under the circumstances, that
it was Weed himself. At any rate, they
set in to play faro, and for hours this
game went on. But ii was no better
for Weed than poker. His luck ran
against him all through, and the longer
he stayed the deeper in debt he got.
At last the time came for halt, and
when il arrived Weed was a loser to
the other men for sum much greater
than his entire wealth amounted to.
He had not only not won back dollar
lost at poker in the faro game, but got
up from the table an additional $500 900
loser. A friend, hearing that Weed was
paying up, started for Newburg TO look
after his friends interests, but before
he reached the city Weed had paid SS0,-
600 of the debt. The friend had further
payments stopped and then the case
got into the courts. 1t has never been
known whether Weed got any of the
$50, 900 refunded, but the general be-
lief is that the game cost him that
amount. 1t is also understood that no
demand was ever made by Hedges and
Scott for any part of the 100000 won
by them at faro.

WEEDS
WATERLOO

The announcement that Francis p.
Weed died at his home In Hartford,
Conn, Monday morning, at the age OF
about 20 years, wildly recalls to the
citizens of Newburg, where he for
merly lived. a gambling episode OF 10
Or 20 years ago which attracted the at
tention OF the world, says the Utica
Globe Mr.. Weed was the son OF Har-
vey Weed. who, while living, had the
reputation of being one OF the closest
listed residents of the place and accu-
mulated a fortune estimated at between
half and three-quarters of million
dollars, a big fortune for any one TO
have in his day. The son inherited
the greater portion of the estate. Until
he left Newburg, eight or ten years
ago, to take VI his residence in Hart
ford, he put in most OF his time as
gentleman of leisure. Occasionally he
took an interest in business enter
prises, and once in awhile flyer in
stock deal, but as rule was not very
successful in them. II there was one
thing more than another he delighted
in it seemed to be quiet little game
Of chance, like poker, or game of bill
lizards. for a consideration a corner He
was a hard loser and correspondingly
elated over the winning OF a trifiing
sum. He frequented Billy Buffers, Nor
ris Verney's and other billiard rooms
then fourishing in Newburg, but his
keenest pleasure was in sitting in"
with a few cronies in a private room or
Office whore the public did not enter.
For many years he was known by the
sports of the town as a player, but
never until he startled the people OF
Newburg and elsewhere by his big
game" did it become known that he
would stand for heavy stakes. He was
by no means a novice or unskilled.
Times without number he so deity
manipulated the cards when up against
good players and a strong game that
his winnings exceeded those of h
competitors But the day came when
he met a terrible Waterloo The game
was behind the drawn shades and with
in the locked doors of Doc" Hedges
Water street dental parlors and the
battle royal was stiff game of poker.
Hedges had a chum named Will Scott,
and these three made the trio who
played the great game. Scott, who is
now dead, was a member Of a good
family in the place, and Hedges was
sporty" dentist who had not always
lived in Newburg. All three were alike
