OFFICIAL VISITATION
District Deputies Call on Mt. Anthony
Chapter, o. E. S.

An official visitation to Mount An.
thony chapter, Order of the Eastern
star, was made last evening by the
district deputies, Herbert Eaton OF
Arlington and Mrs. Laura B. Cole OF
Bennington.
The occasion was an unusually
pleasant affair and was also one OF
the largest gatherings ever present
at Masonic hall. One regretable IN.
cident however, was the absence of
the worthy matron, Mrs. H. ]. Potter
because of continued illness.
Following the remarks by the dis
trlct deputies there was informal
speech making by members of the
chapter and others in attendance. A
collation. was served.

ing the woods and started for Gran
vile, \. Y, assuming that Nehalick
would venture toward that. town.
States Attorney J. C. Jones of Rut-
land was quickly notified of the oc-
currence and within a brief space OF
time started in an automobile for
West Pawlet. accompanied by Deputy
Sheriffs e. s. Whitaker A A. Leon
ard and Pascal Ricci but failed to find
him.
Just what Nehalicks motive for
committing the crime was. is not eN-
actly known as the only time the men
are known to have quarrelled was
some time ago when Stulyatsky board
ed at Nehalick's house and their dis
agreement at that time is said to have
been of a trivial nature. People ac-
quainted with the facts of the quarrel
have said that it was of little moment
and that the issue at stake was not of
much consequence to either man.
The cold bloOded manner in which
Nehalick sneaked up to Stulvatsky
while he was at work, alone and un-
armed has aroused a storm of indig
nation among his fellow countrymen
and other residents of that vicinity
What ever Nehalicks grievance was
it is certain that he was just waiting
an opportunity to avenge it and know
ing that nearly all of the men employ
ed at the Rising and Nelson quarries
would lay off Tuesday, he considered
il his opportunity and the theory is
that he was lying in wait to take adj
vantage of it as soon as Stulvatsky's
companion had left him. That the
murder was premeditated and well
planned seems certain.
Stulvatsky who has been in this
country about. 10 years, has family
living in the old country. Both the.
murderer and his victim are about 35
years old.

The New York Sun comments as
follows on the result of Tuesday S
town meetings i'm Vermont:
The liquor question in Vermont new.
er seems to be settled to the satisfac-
ton of either the vets or the drys.
One year Rutland votes for license.
and the next year it swings the other
way. Burlington also oscillates be-
tween the saloon and the water wag-
on in the irrepressible conflict be-
tween Bigelow, Republican and Black
smith Burke, democrat for mayor,
which ushers in the spring Burke
pulled through by eighteen votes on
Tuesday (his fifth battle with Bige-
low and Burlington declared for II.
cense
The solid vote of Somerset's five cit.
liens for rum must have sickened the
soul of prohibitionist but there were
tidings of great joy In the returns
from Baltimore whose eleven citi
zens voted no. We observe that the
mile square city of Vergennes went
wet this year. Why not, when the
procession of the bibulous to the 10.
cal doctors for druggists prescrip.
lions is never ending under a dry ad-
ministration? In fact, all over Yer.
mont where local option means no II.
cense a bee line of worn pavement or
pressed clay can be found between
the doctors door and the druggists
shop.
This is the seamy side of local OPP
ton, and the subterfuge signifies adul.
terated whiskey that corrodes the hu.
man stomach. For that matter, the
drink lawfully purveyed under a see
saw system of license and prohibition
with its heeting profits is none of the
best. Vermont is a great field for
the pure food law If there is an hon.
est desire to enforce It.

"A like condition exists in a number

not go beyond a vigorous prosecution,
for the ultimate outcome lies in the
hands Of a jury. and IL it is a jury

ment of a community which is in fa-

yond that the governor is as power

Il believe the statute concerning
boxing and prize lighting is faulty, in
that it does not clearly define what
shall constitute prize lighting 1t
leaves too much to the jury. 1t ought
to say this or that, according to the
definitions of the law, constitute a
prize fight, and prosecutions and con-
viction in cases of violations would be
easy The general assembly at the
next session ought to remedy the
statute in this respect; it would do
away with all of the trouble we are
now having about prize fighting.
What is true of prize fighting and
gambling is true of Illegal sales OF
liquor. If the community in which the
action is brought against violators is
in favor of the sale of liquors even dur
ing forbidden hours. and prosecutions
are taken before juries which decide
according to the sympathies OF the
communities, under the constitution OF

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind. May 12.-Governor
Marshall has come to the conclusion
that whether gambling, prize fighting
or the illegal sale OF liquor can be
stopped depends entirely upon the
sentiment of the community. The gov
ernor has been giving considerable at
tention to this question lately, as re-
suit of Investigations at French Lick.
South Bend and Indianapolis.
In his inaugural address the governor
declared that law enforcement cannot
90 beyond what the temper of the COM
munity demands, and the results Of the
recent Investigations bear him out In
his contention. For instance, tits next
to impossible to convict a person of
gambling in French lick, because the
people Of that community are not
strongly opposed to gambling; 1t Is al
most impossible to convict a person of
prize fighting in South Bend, because
the people there apparently want prize
fighting; and it is next to impossible to
stop illegal sale of liquor in a place
like Fort Wayne. because the people
there are not so strongly opposed to
Sunday selling.
bury, Judge of Law and Evidence.
we have a constitutional provision
in the state whereby q jury is made
the sole 1udge-of law and thesevtdence,"
said the governor, in discussing the
matter, land it is a wise provision, gen
orally speaking. But out of the pro-
vision has grown condition on which
I based the statement made in my In
aueural address. The jurors who try a
case in a community are drawn from
its representative citizens. and their
finding on any issue is final. The state
cannot appeal. neither can it take a
change Of venue. Consequently when
the state begins an action to put a
stop to any form of law violation it
cannot go beyond the will of the people
of the community as expressed by a
verdict of a jury.
The Case In Orange County.
Il am told that in Orange county the
people are glad to have gambling going
on at the health resorts at French Lick
and West Baden, and that it is extreme
" difficult to obtain information
against keepers of the games because
of the sympathy which the people have
for the practice, presumably because
the games mean more money for the
Orange county resident. and more beau
tifu1 surroundings at the hotels. II 1t
is true that such sentiment exists

jury or ordinary Orange county peo-
pie would return in case keepers Of the
game are brought to trial on the in
