Fees Of Vermont ofacers Seem to
Be Lost by Change in
Law.
FARMER FINDS A JOKER"
May he an EvroP in Preparing Trans
eript Of Laws for Newspaper Sup
plen,r nts-Omcers See No Mon
ey in Serving writs for
Mileage Only.

Brattieboro. March 1A--An apparent
change In one Of the statutes was dis
covered yesterday which will seriously
interfere with the executive branch Of the
State government. unless II proves to
have been a harmless omission IN pre-
pairing the transcript OF the laws for the
newspaper supplements authorized by
the State.
Tho change was discovered by Lewis
n. Lynde OF Dummerston q farmer,
who spends his spare time reading the
statutes and informing himself con-
corning current affairs. He sought out
the Brattleboro deputy shertfYs and show
ed them how their official services would
not gain for them livelihood under the
new law as printed. The deputies con-
suited lawyers and the Brattleboro men,
hers Of the Legislature. but got no
satisfaction. whereipon they all deter
mined positively to resign their posi-
tions unless it could be shown that an
error had been made The Brattlebcro
deputies are A. W. J. wilkins. Chauncey
Thompson.
The old law. section $40. provided that
sheriffs and deputies should ~ paid 50
cents mile TOT trdNei IN seTNins Wits
and be allowed cents FOR reading A
writ and 10 cents for 1oo words for
serving copies. On that basis they
made about 7. 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 70
imburses the officer FOR his time or
expense. The law went into effect
March l. II imposes penalty upon an
officer OF n times the amount OF the
excess where an excessive Zee Il
charged.
Senator r. W GIBSON and Represen-
tative II. G. Barber Of this town say the
original bill was amended many times
but they do not remember Its form, as II
finally passed.

 FOR MONTGOMERY.

 Secretary Is
 Selected.

At a meeting held Friday in Mont gomery, arrangements of a prelimin- ary nature were made for the State Laymen's Interdenominatlonal Confer ence of Alabama to be held in Mont gomery next February.
 One of the incidents of the meeting. which was held by the local Executive Committee. was the selection of F. l.. Siaymaker. of Alexandria. Va. as the Executive Secretary. He will come to Montgomery early in December and from that time to the beginning of the conference will devote himself and his time to the work of preparing for the gathering.
 The Friday meeting was held at the Young Mons Christian Association building and several addresses were made. The first. by Mir. H. c. ostrom. the assistant secretary, was followed by a ringing appeal by the Rev. R. W. Patton, Secretary for the Episcopal Church, in which an urgent appeal was made for the heartiest sort of co-oper- alton in the movement and in the Montgomery meeting.
 The idea of the gathering next Feb ruary has taken hold of the church. men as we'll as the laymen of Mont gomery and the meeting will be one of the most notable and most successful nf it's kind ever held in the South. It is expected that from 1000 to i,500 delegates and visitors will attend, and some of the most gifted and strongest sneakers of the churches of the South will make addresses. These speak CTS will be augmentedsby laymen and dtvines from Canada and many States of the Union.
 The movement is one that appeals particularly to business men. It is launched and fostered by laymen-bus- mess men and will have the directnesE and the incislve force that character izes business men wherever they are found.
