TEMPERANCE REFORMER
ACCUSED OF CRUELTY
Ida H. Read and Her Husband Relieved
of Horse Which Humane Agent
Fuller Says Is in Pitiful
Condition

Burlington, March II. Humane Agent
John Fuller has under consideration and
has already taken aggressive steps IN
a case Of alleged cruelty to horse,
which involves Mrs. Ida Fl. Read OF
Shelburne, state president of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union, and
her husband, Dir. Read Of that town.
The horse which Humane Agent Fuller
took from DIR. Read in this city Tues
day afternoon is in a pitiful condition
at Whitconib's livery stable, whence IL
was taken BY Mr.. Fuller.
The horse II suffering from either
strained or broken ligaments Of the AM
kle Of one hind foot. The condition Of
the ankle is such that the horse can
bear no weight on that foot. The foot
hangs limp and when the animal at
tempts to walk the foot turns over, all
lowing the weight to fall on the am
kle Joint and causing the animal to
suffer the most excrueiating pain. As
il has lain in the Whiteomb stables
its groans have been heard all over the
place.
Or. and Mrs. Read drove the animal
into Burlington from SheIbnrne Tues
day and the former had consulted a
veterinary about the condition of the
animal ankle, but no professional ex-
animation Of the member was mnds.
Many who saw the horse in its pitiful
condition Yesterday were shocked at the
thought that ii had been driven and
expressed wonder that IL was able to
make the trip from Shelburne.
The horse was viewed in Whitcomb's
stable yesterday by a large number Of
people, all OF whom were horrifed at the
suffering which the wretched beast must
have endured. Among the spectators
was Prof. j. L. Goodrich Of the Uniyer-
sity of Vermont, president OF the Bur
lington Humane society. The horse was
led out from its stall to the barn floor,
and as the professor looked upon the
animal standing there In its anguish he
remarked Evidently Mrs. Read knows
more about whiskey than she does about
horses Later he said If he were a
Judge and the owner of the horse were
brought before him, he would impose a
fine of 5000.

As individuals They Can't be
Prosecuted
ON CONSPIRACY CHARGE
But the Indictments Against the Cor

Down BY Judge Hum

ON CONSPIRACY CHARGE

Chicago, March 22.--All the meat
packers who were indicted by a federal
grand jury last summer on charges Of
conspiracy in restraint Of interstate conf
merce and trade have been granted inn
munity from criminal prosecution under
the indictment. While the individuals
are to 10 free, the indictments found
against the corporations Of which some
of the indicted packers are members and
others are employees stand.
"A decision to this effect was handed
down yesterday BY Judge }. Otis Hum
phrey, in the United States district
court.
In giving his decision, Judge Hum
phrey said:
"The defendants are indicted under
the Sherman act, charged with con-
spirac in restraint Of trade. They have
pleaded that as to them that act should
be suspended because they were com
PEELED to furnish evidence concerning the
matter in the Indictment, and under the
law such furnishing Of evidence gives
them immunity. The law under consid-

the court il called upon to decide, ii the
commerce and labor act. II is clear that
the primary purpose Of this act was TO
enable Congress to provide, through the
channel Of officials charged with the ex-
eeution of the laws, remedial legisla-
tion.
"The act is substitute for one Of
the most cherished rights Of the Ameri-
can citizen which is the right 10 remain
silent when questioned about any sub

nate him. II il conceded thst the priyi-

not be taken from the citizen without
giving to him something equally VAIN
able in return. The privilege of the
amendments permit a refusal to answer
a question relating TO the offense The
privilege must be claimed by the witness

the witness without any claim on his
part.

in this case were volunteers because they

withheld some things. The record lines
show thar, but the fact remains that
every approach was made by the gov
ernment.
Garfield came to the defendants and
held up before them the powers Of his
Office They did not 90 10 him and
volunteer anything. Now, since the de-
PENDANTS volunteered nothing, but gave
only what was demanded by an officer
who had the right to make the demand,

Northern Base Ball League
Now In Working Order
PREPARING THE SCHEDULE
Salary Limit for Players Slightly Raised
and There's 4 Hig Fine for Viola
tion--Opening Game at In VA
tercity Park.

President Lester Fl. Greene represented
the Intercity base ball association at
the Northern league meeting IN Burling-
ton yesterday afternoon, at which ahe
by laws Of the league were thoroughly
revamped. The opening games Of the
season ON June rs were conceded Ia Rut-
land and the Intereity because Burling-
ton and Plattsburgh had them last year
and Ottawa did the same Fourth of
July and Labor day games will be played
in the state, while Ottawa is given Ca.
madam holidays. John p. Taylor OF Bur
iington was again authorized to draw up
the schedule and submit it To the teams
for approval.
Among the business done yesterday
afternoon by the full board Of directors
was the following. The word Tinde-
pendent" was ordered appended to the
league title so chat players may know
that the league is not professional and
a member of the national agreement;
each association, if dissatisfied with lis
representative at the league meeting, can
elect a new one; each association must
deposit $3.50 to cover forfeihWes and
fines; unip,res are to receive $3.50 per
game, with expenses, and $40 for dou-
bic header games; ulnpires shall be ap-
pointed by the president and shall dis
charge on the written application Of
three teams; the Spaulding ball is the
official ball
Besides these, the salary limit was
changed from s4o0 q week "a $500 q
month, which is an increase OF about
&2T a week. Violation Of this rule will
cost Sl00 and each subsequent violation
$50. Seven days must elapse after
the release Of a player before he ear
play with another team.
An important modification regarding
tie hiring OF player.manseers was adopt
cd. Instead OF such q mans salary be-
ing included in the 1880 limit, It was
voted to include only $3.50 each month.
Whatever he is paid above that amount
viii be for his services as manager and
he exempt, the same as Is the salary Of
d bench manager.
Unanimous consent III alI vice nresi-
deftS is required for the change Of any
~ law, which is something new ia the
league regulations and one which viii
w0Tl for the best interests of all con-
cerhed, as combinations to down any
club will thus be eliminated.
Nj Cain Of Ottawa addressed the
hoard on the $1,000 bond. which was
made condition of Oftawas entering
the league, saying that 1t was much too
high, as the travelling expenses Of the
four other teams to and from Ottawa
would not amount to any such figure for
the entire season. After some discus
sion, Il was voted that the Ottawa as
sociation be required to deposit 5000
with the treasurer as a guarantee Of
expenses.

TWO BURLINGTON BOYS
DIED SUSPICIOUSLY
Both May Have Been Poisoned by Eating
Red Candy--Death Certificates Give

OF Death.

Burlington, March e2.--Adolph Stone,
the i0-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Stone, died early yesterday morning at
his home on Conger avenue, In the
same building, III the next room, Ma
poleon Christian lies dead, having died
two hours after the Stone boy. The
death certificates give pneumonia and
heart failure or pneumonia respective
ly, as the cause.
The residents of Lakeside believed
however, that candy containing poison
played a prominent part ia the boys
illness. The statement og Dr. n. Y. Lew
il, who was the FIRST physician to ar-
rive at Mrs. Stones home, strengthens
this theory, he having said that the boy
showed symptoms Of having been poi
soned.
The following story Is told by Mrs
Stone: "Adolph was ten years old and
attended the Catholic school at Lakeside
He had slways been well, but Sunday
morning he was suddenly taken sick.
The boy had bern eating candy and thr
outside was painted red, and am afraid
OF it,"
Mrs. Christian said MY boy had
been well until Monday morning, when
he was taken sick and lost his reason,

OBJECT TO REPORT OF GAME,
NorthfeId Basket Ball Think Man Thinks
II Was Not Fair.

10 the Editor Barre Times: Dear
Sir-In the report Of the basket ball
game in your paper between Company 4
aud the y. NJ G., played here Tuesday
evening, there were several things mis-
quoted. Both teams were forbidden TO
pour large amount Of kerosene on the
noors Of the club rooms. but could use
1t on their shoes if they wished. The
HDdf was not waxed before the game,
and never was in better shape for a
game Of basket ball, having recently been
covered with sawdust, which took off
the slippery surface.
Basket ball has been played here all
winter. and at this game il was the
first time that the audience has made
the least disturbance. Good basket ball
Judges state that had the referee done
his duty two OF the Barre team would
not have been allowed to finish the
game
No report was made OF the basket
thrown by McCurty across the hall, or
those thrown by Hayes. The impress
sion OF those who attended the game is
that Company r team played clean
game and had no desire or did they
exhibit on The floor, as was done by
the \. N. G. team, to fight rather than
play BALL Both teams were evenly
matched. and ii decisions were as they
should have been Companys i would
have won, but they have no kick to
make, only that in reporting the game
II be done correctly The conduct Of
the members Of the Barre team at the
Northfeid House and the railroad sta.
tion before they left was anything but
those Of gentlemen.
All the above can be proven BY reliable
witnesses.
