contest here yesterday afternoon be-

Manchester, N. H.. Jan. 2S.--George Z.
Wallace Of Rochester, one Of the wealth.
est men in New Hampshire, and who is
president Of the Rochester Fair associa-
ton, was yesterday declared in contempt
Of court by Judge Charles F. Stone Of La
coma, fined and ordered to stand com

Mr.. Wallace's former wife, Nellie Hoyt
Wallace of Rochester, who divorced him
more than 20 years ago, petitioned the
court for additional alimony and won
the case. Judge Stone, few months
ago, after hearing a mass of evidence
in the case, and after the matter had
gone to the supreme court, decided that
Mr.. Wallace should pay her $3.50 addi-
tional money, in certain installments.
The first installment to be paid was
$3.50.
Mr.. Wallace, through his counsel,
Streeter & Hollis of Concord and Leslie
p, Snow Of Rochester, took an appeal
from Judge Stones decision. Judge
Stone then ordered that before the case
could be transferred to the supreme court
Mr.. Wallace should pay her counsel fee
Of $3.50 on or before Dec 10. last The
case it is said was transferred without
the payment Of the counsel fee.

Legislature on Its Last Lap
This Afternoon
CONFERENCES BEING HELD
The Taxation Measure Is Likely to Be
Lost in It's Entirety, While the
Salary Measure VIII Go
Through.
State House, Jan. '2s.

State House, Jan. 2S.
The Vermont legislature Of l00s-9 viii
adjourn tomorrow morning at eight
o'clock. This was assured to-day when
the Senate passed the House resolution
referring TO the state of adjournment at
that time. The closing hours Of the as
sembly to-day were taken up with con.
ferring between the two branches in dis
agreements over a few bills, the most
notable Of which were the Bacon-Cush-
man taxation measure and the bill to
increase the salaries OF legislators from
SO to 81 per day.
The impression prevails that the tax
alton measure will fail in its entirety.
The conference committees framed up an
amended bill which win be presented
this afternoonj but it is hardly believed
that it viii be accepted by both branches
The proposal TO raise the salaries of
the legislators was before the conference
committees this forenoon and some legal
phases were labored over by State Audi.
tor Barber and Attorney General Sar-
gent. The particular proposition which
the latter had to consider was whether
the raise should include the employees at
the State House who are not members
OF the assembly. When that question
is settled il is believed that the bill
will pass the Senate, as it passed the
House.
Some labor union representatives, in
cluding 2. +. Mccarthy of Barre, presi-
dent OF the State Federation of Labor,
and z. NJ. Menard of Montpelier, secre-
tary of the organization, were at the
State House last night, discussing the
trustee process bill. They asserted that
the labor union men wanted a $40 ex.
emption or none at all That measure
Is still in the hands of the conference
committees OF the two houses. A bill
which is likely TO die is that relating
to taxation OF water rights in towns
where the plant is located. The munich
palities objected TO the adoption of a
law which should make them pay other
towns for the appraised valuation Of the
property in its improved state. but did
agree to pay on the valuation when first
taken. The disagreement over this Sec
tion is likely to kin the bill.
There was but little done in either
branch this forenoon, they being in ses-
sion only intermittently, as the COM
mittees reported from time to time. The
sedate Senate got real coltish during
the intervals Of waiting and cut up
high links with each other. They win
all cut loose tonight over the thought
Of adjournment,
The conference committees on the nor
NAL school bill reported to their bodies
this afternoon and recommended the ap.
pointment of commission Of five per
sons to be appointed by the governor
with view to devise ways and means
for making the normal schools more ben.
efeial and to report to the legislature
of 1910
