IN OUR OWN STATE.
HAVE JUSTICES JURISDICTIONS
Apparently They Cannot Impose Fine on
a Man Who Has Sold Liquor illegally
Opinion Asked

Apparently They Cannot Impose Fine on
Man Who Has Sold Liquor illegally
-oplnon Asked.
States Attorney Warren r. Austin has
unearthed a most interesting feature Of
the Observation-Disclosures liquor law that
apparently at least makes the selling Of
intoxicating liquor a matter Of small
moment with or without license.
The general jurisdiction Of a justice OF
the peace under the statutes is limited to
the filming Of a respondent $40. The mini
mum fine under the 1904 license law is
5000. In order that a Justice of the peace
may impose this fine he must be given
the power by the act itself or some other
act must specifically give IT, Section ia
Of the new law apparently intended to
give justices this right but the section
actually reads as follows:
I'm all prosecutions for the violations
Of the provisions Of this act, except for
intoxication, and where the respondent
enters plea OF guilty, justices OF the
peace and municipal and city courts may
cause persons charged with such viola
tons to be apprehended and committed
to prison or bound over with sufficient
sureties for trial by the county court"
1t is plain to be seen that a justice of
the peace, under this section of the
statute, is given Jurisdiction only to hold
not in cases Of intoxication and not where
the respondent pleads guilty. The result
is that where a respondent is arraigned
before a Justice OF the peace charged WITH
selling intoxicating liquor Illegally, the
justice of the peace can do nothing with
him provided he pleads guilty. In the case
Of intoNication a preceding section gives
the justice authority TO impose sentence
provided for that offence.
States Attorney Austin has consulted
several OF Franklin county's best lawyers
about this and there has been much spec
ulation as to what is to be done about 1t.
He has also referred the question to Atty
Gen. Clarke c. Fits Of Brattleboro, whose
reply is awaited with much interest
II 1t should develop that no reasonable
construction OF this act can be made to
overcome this curious lapse, II has been
said that It may even be found desirable
to call a special session of the legislature
to cure list. Adams Messenger.

The Late Mrs. Amelia A. Payne.

Mrs. Amelia Payne, who was called
from earth to her eternal home on Sun
day, March 8, was living at the time OF
her death with two of her daughters in
Waterbury, Conn. She was born in
Stratton, August 4. 1888 Her maiden
name was Amelia A. Estabrook After
her marriage to Benjamin Payne, they
lived for several years in West Jamaica,
where three children were born to them.
When the youngest child was still very
young her husband was taken from her,
and she was left to provide and care for
not only her three children but also a
daughter of her husbands to whom she
was as true a mother as to her own chill
dren. To such an extent was this true
that that daughter was able to say as
she looked upon that dear face now calm
and beautiful even in death, AN own
mother could not have done more for
me than this darling mother did" Dur
ing the years that followed the death of
her husband her faith was often severely
tested but she stood the testing, and her
implicit trust in God was something beau
tiful to know. To know her was to love
her After the marriage Of her oldest
daughter to Merrill Leonard, she lived
with them several years in West Wards
boro, and then In Springfield, Mass It
was while here that they were called
upon to part with Mrs. Leonard Nine
years ago she came to Waterbury, Conn,
with Mr.. Leonard and her two grand
children, to whom she was as a mother.
She was taken sick on Wednesday with
grip which soon developed into pneu-
monia, but she was not considered
dangerously Ill until Sunday morning and
she was called home that afternoon. The
funeral was held from her daughters
residence on Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock, Rev. Davenport of the Congrega-
tional church officiating in the absence
of her pastor The floral tributes were
rare and beautiful and expressed some
thing Of the esteem in which she was
held The bearers were Messrs. Leonard,
Logan, and Corkins, of Waterbury, and
Rev w. A. Estabrook OF Amherst, Mass.
Those from out Of the city who attended
the funeral were Rodney Estabrook OF
New York city, Mrs. Edison Roell of New
York state and A. A Estabrook and
Rev. w. A. Estabrook of Amherst, Mass.
She leaves three heart broken children,
Miss Ella Payne, Mrs. Lulu Henderson,
and Mrs. Edison Roell, also one sister,
Mrs. James Smith of WATERFOWL. n. Y,
and one brother H. w. Estabrook of West
Dover, and many relatives and friends
who deeply mourn her loss. To her II
was not death: II was only going home to
meet her Saviour and the many loved
ones who had gone on before. OF such
lives as hers II hath been wisely and
truly written by the hand OF the Most
High, Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord from henceforth: yea saith
the Spirit that they may rest from their
labors; and their works do follow them"

Predicts Good Maple Sugar Season.

According to statistics. G. II. Grimm Of
Rutland, a maple sugar manufacturer.
says Vermont produced about 100000
pounds OF syrup last year. but as many
producers did not keep account he believes
that fully 10000, 900 pounds were made.
Great as was this flow, he thinks that
this years will be still heavier, and the
best in ten seasons, II not in twenty. His
reason for this belief is that the frost is
deep in the ground, meaning that con-
siderable moisture EXISTS. AS all sap
comes from the roots. the moisture causes
a great flow. Mr.. Grimm thinks that,
because Of improved methods, the sap
this year will be OF purer quality than
before, which will cause a rise in the
price. Sap begins to flow in good shape
as soon as the ice breaks up and when
the thermometer rises to about 60 degrees
in the day time and goes below 80 degrees
at night Sugar snow falls at this period.
coming in the night, and melting by sun

opponent points on the game, and when

good for baskets on the other side. Ellis
seemed to be handicapped more than the
others by the waxed floor, but he scored
twice and made the scorers put down a

Baby Found Frozen on poorstep.

A girl baby about a week old was left
on the doorstep at the home of A. G.
Jones in Sudbury Tuesday night March
z. The child was wrapped in an old
sheet and shawl and when found was in
a critical condition as the result of ex-
posure- Both legs were frozen below the
knees and the child had been drugged. A
physician was summoned and everything
possible was done, but it is believed that
the baby will not survive. There is no
clew to the identity of the parents, but
footprints in the snow prove that the
child was brought to the house by a wo-
man.
