CONGRESS TAKING NOTICE.
Resolution Providing For Joint Com
mission to Investigate Cause OF
High Prices introduced.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 25.-A res
olution providing for the creation OF
a Joint commission of Congress to in

South Dakota.
The Martin resolution provides for
the creation of joint committee that
will have the same legal status as
the industrial commission created
some years ago. The commission
would be authorized to subpoena
witnesses and compel their attend
ance and to enforce the production OF
books and papers pertinent to The

scab, leaf blight and leaf spot being
due to fungous diseases are amen.
able to fungicidal treatment Bor-
deaux is the best known remedy for
these diseases.
AS to financial returns from pear
orchard, | can say they are largely
governed by the suitability of the
soil and climate, the wise selection OF
good commercial varieties, the Gull
tural care given, up-to-date meth
DDS of harvesting, grading and pack
ing practiced, and nearness to a good
market. Given these conditions, pear
growing should prove more remu-
nerative than that of growing apples.
At all events well-grown pears from
New England orchards, put up in as
attractive packages as those of the
western powers, should and will
command a better price than the
western product.

Plans ViOlinist's Future.

st. Adams musical circles will be
interested in the following news
item: Rudolph Larsen, the we'll
known violnist, left Burlington We'd
nesday for Boston, where he will
study for some time with Martin
Loeffler, the great violinist and conf
poser. 1t is planned that he will
make his debut in Boston and his
progress in the musical world will be
watched with much interest in Bur-
lington by his many admirers. Mr..
Loeffler who will be his finishing
teacher, is considered one of the
greatest masters of the violin now
living. His fame as a teacher is
world wide and he is well known as
composer. The American History
and Encyclopedia of Music calls Mr..
Loeffler, the modern Berliotz, which is
very hattering, as Berliotz was the
greatest composer that France has
ever produced. The same authority
says that few can compare with him
in mastery of the violin. Rumor has
it that number of people who are
leaders in society and in music in
Boston have taken special interest
in Mr.. Larsen"

Saw His Picture in Scotland.

Sidney j. Sumner, steward of the
steamer Vermont of the Lake Cham
plain Transportation Company made
a trip to Scotland after navigation
closed last fall. When in Edinboro
he wrote letter to Manager Daniel
A. Loomis recounting along some of
his experiences, one incident OF
which will be of general interest
Mr.. Sumner attended public lecture
one evening in the celebrated Scottish
city, given by a professor who had
been touring in the United States. Tho
title of the lecture was: under
Wstern Skies" The lecturer des-
cribed many of the interesting places
he had visited in this country, illus
trating his remarks with stereopticon
pictures. Mr.. Sumner was greatly i'll
terested in the lecturers accounts 81
his travels in the great West and the
inspiring views that were thrown or
the big canvas in front of him. He
the regular Vermont yell when he
saw in front of him a picture of good
old Lake Champlain with the well
known steamer Vermont looking al
most as big as life. On the deck he
plainly recognized Captain E. B
Rockwell, Purser Joseph Mooney
himself (Sumner), and Mrs. Sumner
who serves with him as stewardess
Sumner recognized the picture al
one taken some time ago by Miss
Elsbury, now of Plattsburg, whc
formerly was employed on the boat
How it got into the hands of thu
lecturer he was at loss to explain
as it was taken for private purposes
at certainly did look good to me.
wrote Sumner in his account of thu
incident which illustrates again how
small the big world really is.

Claims He is Held Illegally.

A hearing for habeas corpus took
place before Judge j. l.. Martin in the
United States Court chambers Friday
afternoon in the cases of Wong Hee
and Chin Linn, Cinnamon held at the
detention house at Richford District
Attorney Alexander l.. Dunnett of st.
Johnsbury represented the govern
ment and Robert NJ. Moore of Malone,
n. Y, and Chan Kew, Chinese law
yer of Brooklyn, N. Y, appeared for
the Cinnamon. United States Mar
shall Horace w. Bailey and Clerk
Fred l.. Plat of Rutland were pres
ent. Chinese Inspector Arthur l..
Weeks of Richford was the only wit
ness examined. The attorneys for
the Cinnamon claimed that their
clients were illegally held by pure
ly arbitrary ruling of the inspector.
1t was claimed in the case of Wong
Hee that he is a young man of 26
" rs who has spent practically all OF
his life in Massachusetts cities, liv-
ing the greater part of the time in
Pittsfield. The records showed that
Senator Crane of Massachusetts, has
interested himself in behalf of Wong
Hee. A prominent banker of Pitts
field is also interesting himself in
the young Chinaman. The records
showed that Wong Hee made visit
to China in 1907 and in passing
through the port of Richford on his
way to the Pacific coast presented
his papers to Inspector Weeks WIN
made an affidavit thereon that the
man had passed over the border en-
route to China. The mans papers
stated that he was born in the United
States and bore photograph OF
Wong Hee taken when he was 10
years of age. Upon his recent re-
turn Inspector Weeks refused him
admission despite the fact that he
held papers bearing Mr.. Weeks aft
davit that he had passed through
Richford in 1907 on his way to China
A recent photograph of Wong Hee
was exhibited to the court which was
naturally unlike the early picture oil
the man inasmuch as he has reached
maturity and from the fact that the
first picture showed the man dressed

of the trainmen, failing to notice
him, gave the signal to the engin-
eer to back up, and as the train
started, Mr.. Raymond slipped to the
ground, his foot landing on the rail e.
The wheel passed over it, crushing
it terribly, but the station agent, who
saw the whole affair, signalled the
engineer to go ahead, and he was re-
elased the injured man falling into
the arms of the agent He was I'M

Vermont Congressman Would Sup

In commenting on the possible

Representatives Foster and Plum

"'I have very high opinion or Mr..

WORKED SLICK GAME.
Ioung Man of PrepOsscssing Appear
;nce Arrested on Charge OF Col.
letting Money Un0cr false Pre-.
lenses

Erattleboro, Jan. 70 John Locker,
alias J. j. LOCKER, was taken to the
county Jail today from the town OF
Wilmington, charged with obtaining
money under false pretences.
Locker, young man of fine APP
pearance, has been journeying
through the smaller towns about
Windham county for the past few
months, claiming to be a represen-
tative of a large New York real es-
tate firm. According to his represen~
taton his firm was soon to get out
an attractive pamphlet advertising
the value of southern Vermont farms
as homes. To the farmers who would
listen to him, he put up a fine tale,
but the conditions attached to an adj
vertisement inserted in the book were
that the farmer was to pay him any
where from So to $40 to cover the cost
of the advertisement, this money to
be refunded on June /, providing lie
did not find purchaser for the
farm.
In this manner he collected about
| $40 a day, and when arrested in VII
mington Saturday he had worked the
towns of Guilford, Brattleboro, New
fame, South Newfane, Townshend, ia
maica, Williamsville and Whining
ton. j. E. Smiley proprietor of the
Newfane Inn, became suspicious OF
Locker last week and wrote to at
torneys in New York asking that the
! firm be looked up, and gave Lockers
| bank references as a means of ac-
complishing that end. Nothing was
found out about him, however, and
the authorities of Wilmington were
notified.
On complaint of Grand Juror It. A
| Jewell, Locker was arrested by Con-
stable L. w. Boyd and was brought
before Justice j. H. Kidder yesterday
in Wilmington. He entered plea Of
not guilty but cause was found and
he was bound over to the April term
of the County Court in bonds of $500.
He offered bail, but owing to the nu-
merous complaints it was refused
and he was taken to Newfane today.
