discovered yesterday which will seri-

is H. Lynde of Dummerston, farmer
who spends spare time reading the
statutes and informing himself con
corning current affairs. He sought
out the Brattleboro deputy sherins
and showed them how their official
services would not gain for them a
livelihood under the new law as print
ed The deputies consulted lawyers
aud the Brattleboro members of the
legislature, but got no satisfaction.
whereupOn they all determined posi-
lively to resign their positions unless
It could be shown that an error had
been made. The Brattleboro deputies
are A. w. J. Wilkins. Chauncey l.
Knapp, Myron p. Davis and Dan p.
Thompson.
The old law, section 62lO, provided
that sheriffs and deputies should be
paid 10 cents a mile for travel in ser
wing writs and be allowed 6 cents for
reading a writ and 10 cents for 100
words for serving copies. On that ba-
sis they made about IS cents for each
Justice writ and 81 for each county
court writ. The amended statute as
printed cuts out all fees except the 10
cents mile for travel, which in no
instance reimburses the officer for his
time or expense. The law went into
effect March l. It imposes penalty
upon an officer of 10 times the amount
of the excess where an excessive fee

WIRELESS FOR SHIPS
BILL PROPOSES TO MAKE EQUIP
 MENT COMPULSORY.
House Comittee on Merchant Marine Considers 1Ir. Burke's Measure and the Auther Makes an
 Agreement.

Washington. Feb. 3.-Following closely the introduction of q bill by Representative James Francis Burke, of Pennsylvania, to require ocean Se- ing passenger vessels to be equipped with wireless teiegraphye the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries today took 1t up for considera- tion.
 An immediate report is being urged SO that the bill may become law at this session.
 MT. Burke attended the meeting to explain his bill. Since its introduc. tion which followed the accident to the Republic of Nantucket. the republi- can congressman has been making an extensive study of the subject and his collected a mass of data.
 since the introduction of my blh'e he told the committee, q have had communications commenting the mea- sure from individuals and commercial bodies throughout the country and l hope for It's passage at this session.
 "Some one has denied our right to carry such a law as is proposed into effect without international agreement. No such agreement Is necessary. We have the same right to require wireless instruments as to require life preser- vera on ships. The french assembly has followed our example and yesteR- day began considration of measure similar to mine. No nation will resent, but all will welcome the passage of this bill by congress. /
 Nor dies the bill work any hard ships It does not impose any unjust burdens. The wireless equipment is splendid form of insurance of ships and cargoes, aside from the protection of life. There can be no extoTtion as there are now several competing com panles engaged in the wireless bust- ness.
 There can be no possible objection to my bill as it affects only vessels carrying at least fifty passengers and whose outgoing journey Is at least 500 miles. It might even be applied to other vessels on shorter trips, possibly on the lakes and in the coastwise trade but all will follow later"
 The cost of equipping ship is about Sl, 900 according to the estimate made by Representative Burke
 The number of people affected by the proposed legislation may be judged, Mir. Burke told the committee from the fact that The ships not now equipped

 Mrs stirlinehas been on the stand for three days.
 Tn spite of the searching question: ing which occasioaniiy broke down her outward composure and caused 3 flood of tears. the defendant almost invariably had ready answer and plausible explanation for seeming inc discretions.
 She stuck to her story that there had been no misconduct between her and Lord North1and and just before she left theS stand raised an outburst of laughter by replying to the question whether she had given up the idea of marrying Lord Northland by saying: T am not free. Lord Northland copld not propose to me yet f."
 \ Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Sttriing's mother. testified briefly to her daughters dis tress on the. receipt of . certain letter while In America and her sudden ra- solve to return to London. This was the letter written by the Stirling's nurse limiting at improper relations be- tween MT. Stirling and Mrs. Atherton. Lord Northlanj also was called for the defense and generally corroborated the testimony given by Mrs. Stirling. He denied he ever had been guilty of misconduct with the defendant. He was still on the stand when the case was adjourned for the day. @
