great plant at Vernon. The company has
a capital stock of $4,000 and bonds OF
s2,0O0000. Its 10000 horsepower is de
veloped by water wheels and it is not
compelled to supplement with coal during
low water as is the case in Montpelier
Even if this were necessary, Bratteboru
would seem to have an advantage over
this city, as according to the latest issue
of McGraw's Electrical Directory, the coal
cost for fuel used for power purposes is
S425 to S4.75 in Brattleboro, compared
with S4.75 to $3.50 in Montpelier.

advantages. Montpelier furnishes cheaper
rates for power and lighting than the re.
duced rates of its Windham county neigh

will be used to good advantage by the

PAID FINE OF Sill.
Bogus Real Estate Agent Assessed by
Judge Gibson.

James j. LOCKER. the real estate agent
who was arrested at Wilmington last week
charged with obtaining money under
false pretences and committed to Newfane
Il iail in default of 5000 bonds, was brought
to Brattleboro Saturday morning by Dep
uty Sheriff D. p. Thompson of Bellows
Falls. He appeared before Judge f. w.
Gibson in municipal court that afternoon
and retracted his plea A fine of 800 and
costs of sll44 was imposed, which he
paid. States Attorney Charles H. Will
liams appeared for the state and Il. l..
Bates of Bennington appeared Tor the
respondent. LOCKER decided to plead
guilty rather than stay in jail until the
April term of the county court. Attor-
ney Bates explained to the court that the
man did not intend to deceive his clients
and pointed out that he intended to as
socate himself with some real estate firm
in New York and carry out his advertls-
ing scheme as promised He said that
LOCKER had kept the funds received from
farmers as advance fees for listing their
farm properties for sale and that practi-
cally all of such fees had been returned
to the parties. Mr. Lockers wife was in
court and was Intercepted by Judge Glib
son as to how her husband had used her
during the Is years of their married lie.
The woman said that he mad always Deeh
kind to her, and that he had never been
arrested before.
Several notes were produced showing
that LOCKER had accepted such instead OF
cash. Mr.. Lockers counsel said that ar
rangements had been made for all per,
sons to receive whatever fees they had
paid the man and asked that the court be
enient. Mr.. Bates said that his client
did not intend to cheat those with whom
he dealt and that he had well-developed
plan for advertising farm property and
selling the same He acknowledged that
LOCKER gave high sounding name to his
real estate concern and that no such
company is in existence. The man oper,,
ated in several towns of the county and
solicited the sale of farm properties prom
Using that if he did not find customers
before June he would return the ad-
vance fee which he received The fees
ranged from So to $40. When Judge Glib
son explained to the respondent that the
court was inclined to grant his prayer
for clemency the man thanked the court
and otncials and appeared to, appreciate
the fact that he had escaped prison
sentence.

Reports Finding That All His
Charges Are Untrue.

ago 20 investigate the charges made
by NJ. Fernstrom on the floor OF the
council This report was written FOR

charge. Mr. Fcrnstrom was wrong. In
that the contract was changed, as no
charged. before Il was passed by the
council. and not afterwards. The sec
ond charge made BY Mr.. Fernstrom
was that he had been approached by
n representative OF the Campbell

him n bride I'm connection with the

accepting the testimony OF A. Camp
bell to the effect that 'had a bride
been offered he would have heard of
IT, as corroborating the testimony OF
the foreman.
Mr. Fernstrom's third charge was
that the bill charged FOR work done
between April Is and April 20. and
that there was no work done on those
days. The records OF the council and
the board Of public works show that
the whole matter was taken out OF
the hands of the contractor on April
Is. and tho city engineers records
show nothing done after April 16. IL
was shown. however. that the pumps
were worked on those days, and three
times i'm the same place Mr.. Fern
strom was mistaken"
Not Yet "Out OF Woods
Some Of the members OF the coun-
eli remarked yesterday that Mr. Fern
strom was not yet tout Of the woods.
and this IS possibly explained by the
closing paragraph OF the report
which leaves further discipline for the
further action Of the council.
In its report the committee finds
that Councilman Fernstrom wholly
failed TO substantiate the charge that
the mayor changed the supplemental
contract over the approval Of Il by the
council. as well as the charge that
Fernstrosn was approached by mem
her Of the Campbell Building COM
pany and was offered a bride. The
report cites Emile u. Koch's denial

finds that FernstrOm did not charge
