FRIDAY MORNING.
John H. seuter restlnes for Mr.. Fits.

John n. Senter Testihes TOR mr. rNts'
John Fl. Senter was called by the de-
Tense at the opening Of court this morning
by courtesy of the commission, as the
Montpelier man was TO take train. He
was called into the case OF Bartlett
against Prescott as attorney for the lat
ter in February 1903. at the request of
John F. Gale. In strong and picturesque
language ne denied any unprofessional
conduct on the part Of Mr.. Fits In the
Bartlett Prescott case, even saying that
mfr Fits was so Jealous in Mr.. Pres
colts behalf that had to hold him down
by the coat tails" Mr.. Senter testified
that Mr.. Fits worked nard in the case,
but he criticized the report Of the first
referee. even saying that he himself had
referred to II as 1.-THE most corrupt re-
port he ever saw" Mr.. Senter learned
of no evidence material to the case that
was not put in. On cross examination by
Mr. Spellman Mr.. Senter recalled that In
the matter OF the IA" and 'Mather
books, to which reference has been made.
Mr. Fits kicked" and even went so far
as to call Mr.. Martin a liar. Mr. Fits at
that time was trying to get the report
recommitted. In answer to questions by
the commissioners Mr.. Senter testified
that he heard no complaint about the
bond that was given to release the trustee
nor complaint about the motion to raise
the ad damnum.
Following Mr.. Senter's testimony the
cross examination OF Mr.. Prescott was
resumed by Mr.. Martin.
At this mornings session Mr.. Martin
gave notice that the respondents side
would require the attendance OF the gem
tlemen who signed the petition and the
commission announced that Messrs. Allen,
Eckels, Hunt, Smith and Stoddard were
present at the hearing yesterday. Mr..
Redmond of the commission brought out
the fact this morning that the complaint
to the supreme court was not signed by

VERMONT SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Result of Tests of Eyes, Ears, Noses and
Threats.

The result of the examination of the
eyes and ears of the school children of
Vermont seven years of age and over.
in accordance with No. 49, Acts of l9Oi
has been made public by State Superin-
tendent OF Education Mason s. Stone in
a circular letter This examination was
also extended to the nose and throat of
each child, and all cases of defect of or
gans examined were reported by card to
the parents of the children found defec-
tive
Although the examination was con-
Quoted by persons unacquainted with the
means provided or methods prescribed,
the results are generally satisfactory.
and, from the reports received from ply
sicians, ii appears that the intent of the
law has been as fully realized as could
have been expected.
Reports were received from 221 of the
GAG towns and cities of the state and the
examinations were conducted in 2,O65
schools, 41,373 children being examined.
The number of children found defective
was 1890. or 345 per cent. Glastonbury,
one OF the smallest towns in the state
population 49,. holds the highest per
cent. of detectives. In a school of four
pupils three were found defective, maxi
ing the record rs per cent. The town
with the lowest per cent of detectives
was Stratton population 27D with two
schools Of Is pupils where the pei cent.
was found to be 81.
The county with the highest per cent.
of detectives was Addison, with S72,
while Washington county holds the low
est record of 300.
OF all the eyes examined 11.1O5 were
found defective.
The total number of ears found defec-
tive was 749; of noses 223; of throats 293.
The larger cities and towns, in spite of
common belief. do not show an excess
OF detectives over the smaller towns; yet
in the former the examinations were
probably more rigid than in the latter.
The percentages of the pupils in the
larger towns and cities that were found
defective are as follows: Burlington. 81
per cent, Barre 20, Brattleboro So, Ben
nington "a, St. Johnsbury 3s. Rutland "a
Montpelier 40. st. Adams city 81, ST. AL
bans town 81.

prise of the spectators, who apparently
had been led to expect some damaging
testimony. -
Mr.. spellman, after a short recess IN
which he was in conference with f. y
Gale, called Daniel p, Prescott as the
next witness and the much discussed case
Of BARTLETT against Prescott was before
the commission. Mr.. Spelman began the
usual questions asked of witnesses about
residence. business, family and other mat
ters. but was hurried along by the re-
spondents attorney, who conceded much
that Mr.. Spellman was trying to bring
out. Mr.. Spellman urged that Mr.. Pres
colt be permitted to tell the story of ms
troubles, while Mr. Martin objected to
retrying of the Bartlett-Prescott case
when SO much of the history Of the case
was a matter Of court record.

his mothers name, Harold Larrabee. 16,
who lives with Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. j. LARA
bee on Clark street, bought a revolver at
Woods hardware store Monday forenoon
and left town without notifying anybody
of his intentions. He was away until
Wednesday night. when he returned, hav-

morning he began work with Mr.. LARA
bee who does a trucking business In the
village About o'clock he disappeared,
and as he did not go home at noon 1t
was apparent that he had run away. On
Tuesday morning Mr.. and Mrs. Larrabee
received a postal card from him, written
i'm Hinsdale, N. H., in which he said he
had bought a revolver and that by the
time they received the card he would be
dead on the mountain. The fact that he
drew money from the bank cast much
doubt on the sincerity of his statement
about shooting himself, and officers were
put at work at once to locate the boy,
with the result as stated. Mr.. and Mrs.
Larrabee received word Tuesday night
that the boy had been traced to Keene,
but had not been caught. A Keene des-
patch said: He was at the Cheshire
House and was paying $3.50 per day, be-
sides having the best of everything which
money could buy. When arrested at the
hotel he had $51 on his person. He claim

With the money he had purchased a
revolver, a new suit Of clothes, gloves
and books. and was also well stocked with
candy. The clue which led to his arrest
was furnished by a local jeweler at
whose store Larrabee had purchased a

It is necessary in producing the best

cause a slow feed into the tank. Again,
the pipe of ingrcss must be bent

create the least disturbance in the

to allow the first fluid emptied into

each hours duties were done with
the precision which left nothing un-

to say nothing OF the other animals.
Everything was transported without
friction or delay, so far as the circus
peoDle were concerned, although diff
ficulties were constantly coming up
by reason of the failure of railroad
facilities.
The military observers were i'm
pressed with the systematic work
which would probably not be possible
in the army, for the reason that men
must be constantly changed, and the
officer who has charge of transporta-
tion today may be detailed to barracl
instruction next year This uncertain
