RELEASED A.. i.
FROM PRISON
Noted English Convict Whose
Frauds Resemble those of
Whitaker Wright

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
LONDON, Oct. 15.-Announcement
is made at the Home Office that Jabez
Balfour will be released from prison
next month, his sentence having been
largely reduced by good conduct. Bal
four was the perpetrator of the motor
ious Liberator building society frauds
and his case was perhaps the most not
able Of it's kind that has engaged the
criminal courts of England in the last
quarter of a century. In the colossal
amounts involved. the case can be COM
pared only to that of the late Whitaker
Wright. but unlike the case of Wright
the losses through Balfour's frauds fell
upon people of the poorer class, thou
sans of whom were ruined through
his acts. Upon the discovery of his
frauds Balfour fed to South America.
whence he was returned to England
after bitter fight, tried and convicted.
At the time of his conviction a decade
ago it was generally believed that he
would never survive his Imprisonment.
A recent visitor to Parkhurst prison,
however. reports that he Is in the best
of health and spirits and il looking
forward eagerly to his release. 1t is
reported that he will make his future
home in America.

among the organizations with participant

general athletics may furnish a variety of
sports for the different seasons and at the

which will eventually be sufficient for pro-
viding an athletic field. and that such a
field, with its opportunity for out door
exercise may be of great benefit to the
boys and young men of the town through
developing them into sturdy physical
specimens, and that it may furnish en-

unquestionable amateur standing.

meeting last week Thursday afternoon at
the Y, NJ G. A. parlors. After the open
ing services of Scripture lesson and sing
ing, with Miss Kimball at the piano, Rev
L. NJ. Keneston of West Brattleboro was
introduced, and spoke in place of Rev. T.
T. Mathison, who was called out of town
for that day. Mr.. Keneston took for his
theme the operation of high license, as
observed by himself.
He drew some striking contrasts from
his own field Of work in West Brattleboro
between past conditions under the pro-
hibitory law and the present deplorabe
workings of high license, and cited some
instances from personal knowledge. of
men who wished to let drink alone. but
were drawn into the net" by appetite
and proximity to intoxicating beverages
Mr.. Keneston handled the law with no
gentle touch" stating it to be inopera-
tive and with drawn teeth" in that,
while Offering the people the right to pc
tition against the location of saloon or
open bar within certain limits of churches
or of property holders Directing, left the
whole decision with the commissioners
He spoke of their condition in West Brat
tlebOro to illustrate this action of our
present license law and how it is null
lifted by the unanimous decision of the
board.
Rev. Mr.. Goodhue followed Mr. Ken
estOn, telling of personal experiences in
our late legislature, when trying with a
ptiful minority to storm the current swell
ing licenscward, and how any amendment
looking towards modification or restric-
ton of the license law was treated by the
majority.
These talks before the members Of the

pleased to attend, are TO be followed by
the other pastors. The last Thursday in

Sational church will give a talk upon
