A. Striking Personality

Joseph Battell OF Middlebury is a
striking and interesting personality.
He is probably Vermont's largest real
estate owner, having title to a tract
of 10000 to $4,000 acres of land,
located in Chittenden, Washington,
Addison and Windsor counties, and
covering distance of over 80 miles
north and south. Mr.. Battell
bought the land at a price seldom
over So an acre and frequently less,
but he loves the forests and to-day
he refuses to sell the magnificent
green hills to the rapacious pulp man,
who would give $25 an acre or more
for much of the timberland. Mr..
Battell who is now G5 years old !,
has provided in his will that one
large section of his holdings shall go
to the state of Vermont and another
to Middleburv college.
Mr.. Battell was born in Middle
bury and was educated in the
schools and the college there. His
uncle, who was a member of the Bat
tell family of Norfolk, Conn, passed
the entrance examinations at Yale
at the age of TO- being second in a
class Of 40, but was not admitted on
account of his age. He entered Mid
dleburv, from which he received his
degree, at IA. Mr.. Battell's father
graduated from MiddIebury at IS.
Mr.. Battell's grandfather Horatio
Seymour, a lawyer in Middlebury,
was United States Senator from YER
mont two terms, and his greatuncle,
Horatio Seymour, of New York, was
Democratic candidate for the presi
dency against U. S. Grant.
Mr.. Battell is the author of the his
tory of the Morgan horse and is fol-
lowing up this work with the Ameri.
can Stallion Register, which will be
issued i'll four volumes of 800 pages
each. He is the owner of the finest
Morgan stable in the state, in which
are quartered 90 sleek animals. The
United States government recently
bought from him three specimens of
Young Morgan stations to be used
for breeding purposes in the Philip
pines.
NJ. Battell is the owner of the Mid
dlebury Register, and is sponsor for
the American Publishing company,
which is conducted in connection
/ with the Register. He is the author
of a psychological. work entitled
Ellen; or Whisperings of an Old
Pine" 1t deals with numerous
problems OF life and shows deep re-
search in many directions. After the
completion of a second installment
of this book, on which he is now at
work, he will build a cottage in
Porto Rico which he will occupy dur
ing the winter months. M. Battellis
radically opposed to the general sale
of liquor and in the legislature of
1902 was the author of a billprovid-
ing for a state dispensarv system.
He has been a member of the Yer
mont legislature IA years, serving
three terms as representative from
Middlebury, three terms from Ripton,

Experts use big figures in showing
what can be done with arid lands in
the West by irrigation, These lands
amount to one hundred millions of
acres, and when reclaimed will add
nearly one-fourth to the actual pro-
ducing area of the country. Cut up
into forty-acre plots, the average
size of irrigated farms, the area
would make two and half millions
of farms. The occupants of these
farms would add directly to the pop
ulation twelve and half millions,
and indirectly at least six and a
quarter millions more.

We copy elsewhere from the Brat
tleboro Phoenix an article on Hon.
Joseph Battell. 1t is a pleasure to
call attention to this gentleman be-
cause we believe him to be one of
Vermont's worthiest sons. Few
men have been more liberal and pub
lic.spirited in behalf Of Vermont than
Mr.. Battell. He has bought a
goodly part of the Green M cunt ain
range on the eastern border of Ad-
olson county and is preserving it
against the commercial vandalism
which is fast denuding our state of
her beautiful forests. His voice has
ever been on the side of clean methods
in all political affairs and although
possessed of an individuality that is
peculiar and sometimes striking, he
is regarded as one of the best all
around citizens of Old Addison.

A law went into effect in New
York September LIST regarding the
use of the United States Flag. 1t
prohibits the use of the emblem for
advertising purposes of any kind
and also has heavy fine for mutila-

any way the flag of the nation. The
law also provides that "the flag
shall not be publicly mutilated, de-
faced, de6led, trampled upon or used
CONTEMPORARY either by word or
act" Such a law ought to be in
force in every state in the Union.

tive's Trial.

Was Trying to Get His Money
Back.
ACCUSED TELLS HIS SIDE

The trial or Detective Henry Lacy
was continued before the police trial
board this morning at 10 o'clock in the
gymnasium of the First precinct police
station. 1t was lively and Lacy and
Attorney Chase almost came together.
Lacy. who was testifying in his own be-
half, declared that Attorney Chase ad-
mitted having close relations with the
girl.
Invited Outside.
Chase at once arose and called the
detective q liar and a contemplate dog.
Lacy replied that every word was true
and Chase invited him to step outside
and make the statement.
Lacy appealed TO the board for protec-
ton from Chase's insults and President
Smith ordered Chase to sit down. Chase
refused to sit down and President Smith
told him IL he did not obey the court
he would be ordered out. Chace finally
took his seat.
At the request of Attorney Lambert
for the defense. the board admitted as
testimony a number of letters written
to Lacy by Lena Hewlett and her
mother Mrs. Elizabeth Hewlett
Lacy identified the handwriting on
each letter and Attorney Lambert read
several aloud. The correspondence
showed that Lacy had at different times
pay bills for her daughter, and that
Lacy had assisted IN educating Lena
Hewlett. Other letters showed that the
girl thought a great deal of Lacy, and
frequently asked him TO meet her at
many different times and places.
Wanted Money Back.
Lacy testified that he asked her how
much money she thought he had spent
on her and her family, to which, he
said, she replied about S1,500 He then
told her that he thought it only right
that she should pay him $500. that this
was not coercion. and that after re-
ceiving the money he would have moth
ing more TO do with her.
aLvy denied having cashed any checks
for the girl, and that she had ever lent
him money. Lacy stated that he had
bought all Of Lena Howlett's clothes
ever since a short time after meeting
her.
In replying TO the allegation that he
had held the girls resignation a
teacher and demanded $500 for it's return,
Lacy said he had kept the resignation
for the girls own good.
Never Swore to Her.
Lacy denied using profanity IN the
presence of Lena Hewlett and of accus-
ing her OF misdemeanors
Linwood o. Faulkner. OF the Mutual
Loan Company, testified that Lacy had
paid him about 500, representing a loan
