Eiohty- ninth Birthday Celebrated.

Mrs Almira b. Hutchinson OF ST.
monsville celebrated her seth birthday
wednesday, Feb. 1. Mrs. Hutchinson
was born in West Clarendon. Febru-
ary /. 1916, in a log house, and was
one of eight children, her parents be-
ing among the earliest settlers OF
Maine and Vermont.
Mrs Hutchinson says she never
knew what ii was to have pair OF
shoes or a calico dress until she was
12 wears old. The children wore moe
casins made of sheepskin, and clothes
of home made cloth. She says, when
she was six years old she and little
brother were sent mile and half
to their grandfather's home TO procure
a coal of fire to enable her mother to
start a blaze in the old stove, and
that they run all the way home for
fear they could not keep the coal alive.
Mrs. Hutchinson has many quaint
articles. including a bed spread which
was made by her grandmother, and
which is over $50 years odd and in
good condition.
Mrs. Hutchinson has been married
twice and has four children living
among them Frank Davis of Rutland.
Mrs. Eliza Davis Of Londonderry. Jay
Davis of Andover and Noel r. Hutch
inson Of Chester.

The Governors Hearing.

Gov. C. ]. Bell gave a hearing at
the Pavilion hotel. Montpelier at
noon Wednesday. Feb. l, to argu-
ments in favor of a reprieve for Mrs.
Mary Rogers The hearing was set
in response to the request of Lawyer
T. w. Moloney of Rutland. who
claimed to have obtained new and
important evidence in the case.
At the hearing Mr.. Moioney first
read a petition from Mrs. Rogers
herself dated Tuesday, JAM 81, and
signed by her. asking for a reprieve
ON the ground that she is entitled to
a new trial He then presented afii-
davits and made arguments to show
that there was insanity in Mrs. Ros-
ers's family and that she had a ten
dency toward that heredity; that
when she committed the crime she
was less than 20 years old and preg-
nant and that this alone would war
rant a Jury in saying she was not
responsible for her act; also that the
records of the trial in Bennington
county court have never been before
the supreme court for review. ana
justice requires that this be done be-
fore Mrs. Rogers Is executed.
e. B. Flynn of Springfield. repre-
senting the sheriff and deputy sher-
ifs of windsor county. appealed for
a reprieve that Mrs Rogers's coun-
sel may have opportunity to present
her case to the supreme court They
declared that as officers they did not
shrink from doing their duty; but
they were also men and citizens OF
Vermont. Mr.. Flynn declared that
Leon Perham had confessed, the
night before. in his presence. that he
had lied in county court when ne
swore that Mrs. Rogers administered
the chIoroform to her husband and
struck the blow that finished him
that he had to do II TO save his own
neck. and that his story on the stand

MUST CHOOSE NEW sELEcTMEN
Messrs. vnton and Gleason Will Not
Serve Another Year.

Although the annual town meeting
is yet month away there is con
siderable talk about the choice OF
candidates for selectmen. William H.
Vinton and Fred f. Gleason, who
have served on the board for the past
seven years, will not consent to have
their names used again and the ne
cessity of filling their places is a MAJ
ter which confronts the voters OF the
town. The name of Fletcher *. Bar
rows has been mentioned as a SUIT
able man to take Mr.. V'ntons place
as chairman of the board, but MI
Barrows is not anxious for the office
and would probably refuse TO accept
il under any conditions. Warren L.
Walker who was a candidate last
year. Is willing to be one again but
he is not anxious to enter contest.
e. II. Putnam has been a member OF
the board for the past 10 years ana
is willing to continue in that capacity
1t is not likely that any attempt viii
be made to install an entirely new
hoard for the reason that it would be
difficult for it to take up the work
understandingly
There is very little discussion over
the license question but the prevail
ing opinion is that the vote will be
exceedingly close however the out
come Many people who would be
willing to try prohibition if they
thought such a condition could be
brought about by voting no, feel that
existing circumstances would pre-
vent a fair test of the law under
no-license regime. The license COM
missioners have received no COM
plants in regard to the conduct of
any of the licensees. and there is no
doubt that the law is working excel
lently at present. With the amend
ments that become operative next
year none of the drug stores can
hold second class licenses so that
the number of licensed places will be
reduced in any event

n.c;sion AGAINST the Beef Trust.

The supreme court of the United
states at Washington Monday, Jan.
80, affirmed the decision OF the court
below. against the packers, in the
case of the United States VS.. swift
a. Co, known as the beef trust case
Justice Holmes, who handed down
the decision discussed at length the
various contentious OF the pachere
and disposed of them individually.
Ha admitted some of the charges
were less specific than desirable put
said this was necessarily true on ac-
count of the vast extent of the HELD.
He added enough had been shown 10
prove a continuous offense OF such
nature as to justify proceeding. Inc
nrinion continues the injunction
granted against the packers under
fhe sherman antitrust law by the
lower courts. The opinion was con-
Cured in by all members of the
court and sustains the contentious
of the government. Attorney Cen
eral Moody says regarding 1t; Ihe
case decides that the traffic IN llVe-
stock transactions transported from
fhe state or territory of its origin
to another state for sale ana
held there for sale is interstate COM
merce. The decision condemns as an
unlawful restraint of trade the COM
bination between independent deal
ers to suppress all competition in the
purchase of livestock thus situated,
the combination between such deal
ers for the purpose of fixing ana
maintaining uniform prices IN the
sale of meat throughout the country
and the combination between such
dealers to obtain preferential rates
for the transportation of their prod
net bv common carriers. The decis-
ion makes it clear that all combina-
tions between Independent individ-
uals, partnerships or corporations
engaged in Interstate commerce oy
which competition between them IN
such commerce is suppressed, ran
under the prohibition of the so-called
antitrust act

reprieve calmly. The death watch
has been removed but she is kept In

lance. r. w. Moloney of Rutland,
John Fl. Senter of Montpelier and

The governor, in his statement, says
that he grants the reprieve only on
the ground of Mrs. Rogers's claim OF
false evidence produced against her
at the trial But Perham's confession,
even If true, can do no more than
prove her an accessory instead of the
principal in the crimei and under the
law this would not alter the previous
verdict and sentence. The only es-
sential point to settle, then, is the
question of her mental responsibility
at the time the crime was committed.
II there is reasonable doubt of this,
the governor should appoint a COM
mission of experts to decide it. The
matter of producing expert testimony
on this point should not be left either
to the prosecution or defense. but
should be disinterested.

The result in Berkeley county was
something of surprise as most re-
publicans conceded the county to Da-
Wis by one or two hundred and the
prospects warranted that concession.
The republicans were in warning fac
tions and uncrganized, but the lead.
ers worked hard all day to save their
own pr ecinct and thus the slump in
the third ward All their money and
energy were expended at particular
precincts. On the other hand. the
campaign was not thought by many
to be important ard consequently the
democratic organization was poor and
in some precincts there was more.
Had our people have stirred them
selves and organized the county could
easily have given Col Davis three or
four hundred majority.
