Young Misses Sewing Glass Entertained
This Afternoon.

The children's sewing class which
meets every Saturday afternoon in the
Emergency room in the city building,
under charge of the Civic Federation,
were given an Easter social this after
noon after they had finished their sew
ing. Music was furnished from a phon.
ograph and Miss Allie Trow recited se-
lections for the little folks enjoyment.
Refreshments of cake, sandwiches and
oranges were served.
The sewing class which has been held
every aturday since Christmas has about
sixty members and they show the keen
est interest in the work. They are di-
vided into three classes, one class IN
patch work and two in pillow case sew
ing. AS they get to doing good work
they are given aprons to sew and the
parents of many Of the children buy the
aprons after they are finished.
1t is a most interesting sight to see
the room full of little girls working
as busy as bees and they take great
pride in doing their work we'll. The
ladies who have charge of the school
are Mrs. +. NJ. Tayntor, Mrs. +. T,
Cutler, Mrs. G. H. White, Mrs. Henry
Powers and Mrs. w. H. Hoisington
The ladies would be glad of contribu-
tions or cast-of garments from anyone
to use in their work.

SOLDIER is CHARGED.
Alleged That He Misappropriased Funds
Placed With Him.

Burlington, April %. The first SER
geant OF Troop E, 18th cavalry, has
been under arrest in his quarters for
the past week, pending a trial by a
general court martial. The charges are
that he misappropriated some of the
funds ,of his troop. The sergeant on
last pay day called before him several
Of the men in the troop who were heav-
lily indebted to the government and
other parties, and who owed large pool
bills and informed them that If they
paid him a certain part Of the bill he
would fix it SO that they would not
be reprimanded by the troop command
er. The men did this and the sergeant,
it is claimed, failed to turn tie money
over TO his troop commander. The SER
geant has been most capable soldier,
but last December while riding his
horse in Winooski he was thrown and
sustained severe injuries to his head.
He was confined TO the hospital for a
long time and since that time he has
not been the same in mind. 1t is very
doubtful whether be will receive se-
we're punishment owing TO his condi-
tion.

Race Issue Over Liquor Ii
censes In Montpelier.
FIERY TALK WAS HEARD
c. H. senter Objected to Giving privi-
lege Of Selling Liquor Except to
Americans = D. Tomasi Re
piled in Heat.

Heat generated through the raising
Of race issue warmed the room where
the Montpelier license commissioners
net last evening to hear objections to
the granting Of liquor licenses for the
coming year. And the heat grew in
intensity until Chairman Henry Holt
had to shut off the valves. Attorney
Clarence III. Senter, son Of John Senter.
and Dominica Tomasi, rubbing together.
caused the sparks to fly. Young Senter
thought the licenses ought to be granted
to Americans, at the same time oppos-
ing Serafino Massucco's application on
the ground that Massucco had conduct
ed his place this year in disgraceful
manner. Tomasi, who Is an italian,
hadn't anything to say about Serafino's
side Of the case but he did object siren
uously in drawing the race line in giving
out licenses. Tomasi is an applicant.
Senter said he appeared as d private
citizen and not representing anyone
else. Massucco, whose place Of business
Is opposite the formers Office, had, the
speaker said, demonstrated that he was
not fit person to have license, and
secondly he believed that the privilege
of sellirg should be restricted to Ameri-
cans. He spoke of a case where an
old man went into Massucco's place
while under the influence of liquor and
claimed that he was sold more, after
which, too drunk to navigate, the old
man was piled into the street.
Then came Tomasi's fiery reply to
the statement that none but Americans
should be granted licenses. The reply
became so vehement that the chairman
called The speaker to order
The chairman Just before the board
retired into the priyy chamber for con-
ultation announced that as the board
interpreted the law the licenses must
be given in way that the public
would be best accommodated and that the
board would not he warped in Judgment
on account OF the mans name or ma
ti0nality. He further stated that the
successful ones would be informed by
mail, and that the public would know
through the press.
There was one other objection, that
to the application OF J. q. Chimney for
4 first class license in the Laird block.
The obiector was a former chairman
OF the license commissioners, w. r..
Dewey. He represented the wife of the
owner of the French block, and F. A.
Sherburne, a grocer in the same build
ING, which Is next To the Laird block.
Mr.. Dewey also objected to all license
granting within 400 feet of che French
block, the upper stories Of which are
occupied as dwellings,

wITHDRAws RESIGNATION.
Etienne Says That Delcasse Has With.
drawn His Resignation.

Paris, April %. NJ. Etienne, minister
Of the interior, stated today that M.
Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs, has
withdrawn his resignation.
The motives leading up to M. Del
cases sudden determination to retire
from the cabinet, are primarily attri-
buted to internal controversies over the
Moroccan question; and this to some
extent has been accentuated by similar
controversies over French neutrality in
the far East
The Socialist criticisms directed
against NJ. Delcasse, have been partic-
ularly vehement during recent days on
the Moroccan question, and this ap-
pears to have finally decided nj. Del
classe to surrender the question into
other hands. 1t is felt that his retire
ment now would be hailed in Germany
as German triumph, and this is one
of the main considerations leading M.
Rouvier to earnestly appeal to NJ. Del
easse TO remain in the foreign office.

der of her husband at Bennington, will

tended to file this petition with swo
judges of the Vermont Supreme Court

sence of one Of them prevented this
being done. When two of the judges

be filed.
Mr.. Maloney said that afiidavits will
be attached to the petition showing on
what grounds the application for new
trial for Mrs. Rogers is asked, and that
If these are considered sufficient the
case viii probably be retired at the
May term OF supreme court. Should
the judges decide that the afiidavits are
not sufficient and that testimony will
need to be taken, it viii be necessary
for them to grant a stay Of execution
50 that the new trial may come at
the next following term of court.

States Senator oryille Hitchcock Platt

Torrance McKane Gets Yer
dict Over Mari & Gordon.
DECISION GIVEN TODAY
Jury Had the Case Al Hours - This Is
the Third Trial and 1t May Go
Up to Supreme Court
Again.

After coming in once in the morning
for further information, the jury in
the Washington county case Of Terrance
McKane VS.. Marr & Gordon, of Barre,
went back and wrestled with the case
until four o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when they reported that their opinions
were contrariwise and that they couldn't
get together Judge Munson refused to
release them and ordered them back for
further deliberation.
There is no present prospect Of get
ting through with the jury trials before
supreme court conyenes May .. Judge
Munson has denied the request of some
members of the bar that the assistant
Judges sit during supreme court recess
and hear divorce and other minor cases.
If supreme court should last three weeks
as it now seems probable it will, that
viii consume nearly all the time until
Judge Munson has to go to Caledonia
county court in June.
A verdict was returned this morning.
after the jury had had the case for Al
hours. II is for the plaintiff to recover
$3s450 damages and costs. The jury
did not separate after reaching decis-
ion but remained until the verdict was
given. The costs in the case were very
heavy.
This was the third trial. The first re-
suited in disagreement, the second in
a verdict OF $5,e29.16 for the plaintiff
with costs. Whether the case will go to
supreme court or not is not known at
this time. r. A. Hoar and NJ. M. Cor
don appeared for the plaintiff, and
w. A. Lord and Senter & Senter for
the defendant.
The case is one of the best known on
the county court calendar for sa D
time. Terrance McKane was employed
on Marr & Gordon's quarry and was in
iured after a blast.

GAS MONOPOLY PROVED.
New York Inquiry Is Proving Sue,
cessful

A
New York, April %. The investiga.
tion of the gas and electric light busi-
ness is making steady progress. For
mer legislative inquiries conducted in
this city have produced more public ex-
citement, but it is doubtful If a single
one of them has promised more bene-
fetal results at q corresponding stage.
It is known that Mr.. Hughes was not
the committees first choice, but it is
due to him to say that his final selec-
tion was fortunate. With little oppor-
tunity for special preparation he has
showna remarkable grasp Of his subject,
and has succeeded in eliciting from re-
luetant witnesses d multitude Of highly
interesting facts. 1t is worth noting,
moreover. that the investigation has
been conducted quietly, courteously and
without any effort at playing to the
galleries"
II has been shown that the lighting
business is an absolute monopoly: that
handsome dividends have been paid on
"a large overcapitalization that the
price charged for gas and electric light
is far in excess of the cost of produc.
ton and distribution, and that in some
parts of the city, at least, gas is sup
piled at such pressure as greatly to
increase the cost of given amount OF
light 7 is safe to say that these
things have been proved.
