OHICAGO'S CRIMINALS.

The Chicago Tribune gives some
statistics relative to the chances Of
getting punished for various crimes in
that city which indicate that about
the only criminals that are followed
up with any special effort to secure
convictions are the murderers Re-
Gently, owing to the excitement over
the terrible deeds of the three hoy
bandits, there was revival of the
efforts to enforce the law against car
rying concealed weapons. OF those
arrested about half get off without
any punishment, while of the others
all but few have been let off with
merely rominal fines. But, although
in Chicago a goodly proportion of the
citizens carry guns on their persons,
the whole number arrested is small
enough so that the Tribune figures the
chances about one in 500 that man
will be arrested for violating that
law.
From Sept n, 1908, to Oct. 81 of
the same year 1874 burglaries and rob-
berries were reported to the police.
lightweight arrests were made and
of that number quite part were
found not guilty upon trial Accord.
ing to that the chance of getting pun
ished for breaking into somebody s
house and getting a few thousand or
for sandbagging some rich old man
and emptying his pockets is about one
in ten. Evidently the chances of sue
cess in that business are fully as good
as in any other.
III the last two years there have been
218 homicides in Chicago of which lis
were in the last year. During the
last year eightyone indictments for
homicide were found by the grand
jury and on trial thirty-th men were
found guilty. Somewhat more than
half Of the murderers go free, there
fore. Vermont can show much bet
ter record on prosecutions for murders,
burglalies and robberies.

THE FALL OF SULLY.

Sully has fallen. The man who
tried to make millions in cotton at
the expense OF the manufacturers and
the purchasing public has met the fate
of other men who have tried to con.
troll the market in any of the great
products of the country. Some time
ago Sully became imbued with the
idea that he could force the price of
cotton to phenomenal figures and real
ize great profits by so doing. He had
theory to work upon, for he believed
the price of cotton too low-lower
than it's real worth. He went to work
to carry out his scheme and everything
worked we'll for a while. He secured
associates for the venture from among
the New Orleans cotton dealers. Cot
ton went up to the phenomenal prices
Sully had dreamed of. But there was
one trouble. Whenever Mr. Sully
tried co realize his paper profits the
price would drop, Finally the load
became too heavy and the crash fol-
lowed.
Sully has had many predecessors

debts. But Sully was partly right
in his theory. The price of cotton
is staying much higher than it was
before the boom and undoubtedly
will remain there. There is one in
teresting point in the story which
shows business dishonor as the cause
of Sully's fall. 1t is said that he
realized on some OF his holdings at
the expense of his New Orleans asso-
cistes and so TUNED them against

NO SPECfAL PREMIUMS.

III. @. Bruce of Sharon, president
George Terrill of Morrisville, vice.
president; F. l.. Davis of North Pom
fret, secretary; NJ. A. Adams of Der
by. treasurer, and @. f. Smith of
Morrisville, auditor, of the State
Dairymen's Association, met at the
Pavilion Wednesday after noon and
evening to consider and take action
upon certain proposed changes IN the
future policy of the association. After
thorough discussion it was unani-
mously voted that in the future all
special premiums on butter will be
abolished The money that would
have been expended for these special
premiums and the money received for
butter that has been on exhibition
will in the future revert to the assocl.
alton, and any money that may be con-
tributed by those who in the past have
offered special premiums, will all go
into special fund TO be divided pro
rata each year, according to the
score of the butter exhibits.
In adopting this method the officials
of the Vermont Dairymen's Associa.
ton are practically adopting the rules
now in force in the national associa-
ton. The Vermont association is the
largest in the country aside from the
national association, and the official
have felt for some time that with the
old methods in vogue the Vermont as
ISOLATION was a little behind the
times.
The question OF the place of holding
the next annual meeting was inform
ally discussed. This will without
doubt be here. A formal invitation
has already been received from ST.
Johnsbury. but Montpelier is much
more central and the association and
| is officials will be cordially welcomed
to the Capital City if they finally de.
| eide to hold the next meeting here.

1t was after repeated conferences
with the President that the secretary
of the interior and the commissioner
of pensions arrived at solution of
the service pension problem which has
given considerable anxiety to Con-
gress. A liberal Interpretation of the
present pension laws was determined
upon and an old age pension agreed to.
This will take less than ten millions
of dollars out OF the treasury annu
ally. and will satisfy the promoters
of the new scheme. Claimants over
sixty-two years of age will be rated as
disabled one-half. AS this result
pleases all concerned, there will be no
new pension legislation at this session

NOT THAT KIND OF A DEMO.
Graf.

District Attorney Folk Of Missouri,
Notwithstanding the action of the Su-
preme Court in setting free the Demo-
Gratis whose conviction for bribery
and graft he had secured in the lower
courts, shows no sign of wavering in
his pursuit of the boodlers, and no
purpose of compromising his righteous
principles for the sake of securing the
nomination of the Democratic party
for Governor OF course, he is accused
of being traitor to the Democratic
party by the men whose corruption
he has exposed and denounced, and by
all the adherents of the interruptions
party machine which excuses and pro
notes plumber of the people for selfish
enrichment. With what spirit he
meets the accusation and defies those
who make it, appears from the follow
ing expressions in speech lately
made at Piedmont: If one cannot
be Democrat in Missouri and insist
that the cure of corruption is an issue,
then | am no Democrat. y
If to be Democrat in st. Louis means
to advocate the nomination of men
who have repeatedly worked against
the party in its darkest hours OF need,
then l am no Democrat. 1t
to be a Democrat in St. Louis means
that one must bend the knee to the
ButIer-Hawes crowd, then 1 am no
Democrat 1t is matter of great
moment to the Democratic party of
the whole country whether the Demo-
cratic party Of Missouri will elect to
continue rotten or will face toward
soundness. -Bo1ton Herald

TASK COMPLETED.

On Friday Frederick g. Fleetwood
and John L. Bacon. State insurance
commissioners, completed their ex-
animation of the business of the Ma
tional Life Insurance Company. The
work has occupied the past two
months.
The commissioners were assisted by
Walter O. Wright as consulting actu.
airy, e. e. Sawyer, an expert account
ant, both Of Boston, Jesse A. Harvey,
assistant secretary of State and John
N. Harvey, both of Montpelier.
The transactions of the company
have been thoroughly examined, more
especially during the past five years.
The laws of Vermont relative to
insurance matters require that such an
examination of the various insurance
companies in the State shall be made
by the insurance commissioners at
least once in five years and it was in
compliance with this law that the ex-
animation of the National Life was
made.
While no official information has
been given out, it is thought that the
company was found to be managed by
safe and conservative methods and
that it is in the healthiest financial
condition.
The data obtained has been taken
to his Office in Boston by Nj Wright,
where he will tabulate the figures and
prepare the report.

IN COUNTY COURT.

The evidence in the ejectment case
of Caroline NJ. Wheeler VS.. Edgar
Wheeler was closed on Friday be-
fore tsn o'clock and the arguments
were begun. H. W. Scott spoke first
for the plaintiff and was followed by
G. f. Woodward, Jr., and J. P. Lam
son for the defendant. H. @. Shurt-
left closed the arguments this after
noon on behalf of the plaintiff and
Judge Stafford submitted the case to
the jury soon after. The rental value
of the farm in dispute in this case is,
according to testimony in the case,
somewhere from forty to ninety dol
lars year and consists of about ten
acres of land with some old buildings
back under the hills in Plainfield.
The plaintiff, who is the mother of
the defendant, is about rs years old
while her son is about forty five.
Since the ejectment suit was begun
before Justice in Plainfeld and the
appeal taken to county court the farm
was sold by the plaintiff to Fred Per-
rim of Plainfeld. The question was
raised yesterday afternoon, after those
facts were brought out, as to whether
the plaintiff could continue the pros
ecution of her case. inasmuch as she
had given deed of the premises TO
Perrin, but the case was allowed to
proceed.
In the second division of the court
the following divorce cases have been
heard and disposed of Florence
Tanner vs.. Bert Tanner, bill granted
for intolerable severity and household
furniture granted to petitioner. Flora

Seven or eight hundred miles of
railroads to cost some forty millions
of dollars are proposed as benefit to
the Philippine islands, in the way of
developing trade. New York capital
lists hesitate to invest in the project
unless the u. S. Government wilt in
sure certain income on the invest
ment. Secretary Taft is opposed to
the government building the roads.
Congressman Copper has introduced a
bill providing for four per cent.
guarantee for these railways upon an
investment of forty millions of dol
lars. This burden would probably
fall npon the Philippine treasury. 1t

pines as any of the Congressman after
