MADE coMMANDER-IN-cHIEF
Yuan Given Distinctive Honor on Arrival
in Peking.

Peking, China, Nov l4--In honor OF
the arrival of Yuan Shi Kai, the last
prop Of the throne, yesterday, an edict
was issued appointing him commander
of all troops in the vicinity of the cap
ital. Great efforts are being made to
induce him to accept the premiership, but
he has given no definite answer as yet.
The opinion is held at the legations
that there are serious complications in
store for China and greater suiferings
than she has yet endured. The prospects
of foreign intervention by other powers
than Russia and Japan are beginning TO
be discussed. Winter is expected to
terminate the massed movement of
troops, but there will be greater death
rolls through famine. The people in the
central section are already supplements
ing their food with the bark of trees.
The government continues gathering
Manehu recruits at Peking, but soon will
be unable to meet the payments. 1t is
not believed here that the Chinese can
mobilize large enough army about
Peking to venture an attack, but the
governments inability to collect reye-
nues from a single provincial capital is
almost certain sooner or later to bring
about capitulation.

FIXING DEGREE OF GUILT
IN MURDER CASE
Judge Butler Is Hearing Evidence in
Case in Which Arthur Bean Plead
ed Guilty to Numbering His
Mother and Sister,

Guildhall Nov. l4.--The somewhat un-
usual proceedings of having the court
fix the degree OF guilt in a murder case
were begun to-day in Essex county court,
when Judge Butler OF Rutland listened
to the evidence against Arthur Bean,
the boy who confessed yesterday to muir
dering his mother and his sister. Four
witnesses were examined this morning.
Bean pleaded guilty yesterday after
noon and threw himself on the mercy OF
the court. The l9-year-old Maidstone
boy showed not the slightest sign Of
emotion when he pleaded guilty. The
crime was committed last March, with
no witnesses present.
With rifle slung over his shoulder,
Arthur Bean entered the home of a
neighbor in Maidstone on March 0 and
calmly announced that his mother and
sister had been shot and killed. He said
that he was hunting the murderers.
When the neighbors reached the Bean
home, they found the two women dead
on the floor and Mrs. Beams father, John
Sweet, 1903 years old, in closet The
old mans story was to the effect that
his grandson had ordered him into a
closet under penalty Of getting hurt and
that later be had heard shots fired. The
boy was arrested, but stolidly main
tanned his innocence. IL was said az
the time that there had been trouble
over small amount of property left by
Young Beans father.

WAS LONG IN BUSINESS.
Oliver c. Sheplee Died This Forenoon
After Illness with Pneumonia.

Oliver Clark Sheplee, a long time resi-
dent Of Barre and one Of the pioneers
in the mercantile business of the city,
passed away at his home, 263 North
Main street, this forenoon at II o'clock.
Death followed an attack OF pneumonia.
which had confined Mr.. Sheplee for over
four weeks. As member Of the veter-
an Torrent hose company, Mr.. Sheplee
took part in the Columbus day street
parade, ands it is thought that he ac-
quired cold which later developed into
pneumonia. Besides his wife, he leaves
two daughters, Mrs. I. d. Sartelle and
Mrs, Aida Babcoek both OF this city
A half brother, Orlando Sheplee of Clari-
on, Ia, also survives.
Mr.. Sheplee was born in Calais July 3,
1912. During his boyhood, the family
moved to Barre, where the deceased had
resided greater part Of the time. At
the age of is, he went to Newbury and
four years later was graduated from
historic Newbury seminary, enc of the
best known schools in Vermont at that
time A few years afterwards he went
to Syracuse, N. u, and was graduated
from the Ames Business college. His
marriage to Marcela NJ. Jones OF Thet-
ford took place in Thetford October 20,
1859. The couple came back TO Barre
Immediately and for "a few years MIR.
Sheplee was engaged in business at
South Barre. Sclne time later, he, in
company with Mr.. Jones, established the
furniture and undertaking firm of Shep-
lee & Jones. Twenty years ago they
dissolved partnership and the business
was sold to i. W. Hooker & Co.
From Barre, Mr.. Sheplee moved his
family to Salem, Mass, and established
a furniture and undertaking business
there He continued his reputation for
sterling business qualities in the Massa-
chusetts city for ten years, when he
again disposed of his store and went to
Lebanon, N. H. For a period of three
years, he was engaged in similar busi-
ness, returning TO Barre ten years ego.
During the past year, Mr.. Sheplee had
not enjoyed his usual health, and his
condition at times was far from robust.
The deceased was quite prominent IN
the fraternal life of the city and be-
longed to the Masons and the Order OF
Eastern Star. He was also affiliated
with other organizations of a similar
nature at one time or another during
his residence here. He was Congrega-
tionalist by religious preference. Mr..
Sheplee's death marks the passing of
weli.known citizen and those who will
sincerely mourn his loss are many.

East Bridgewater, Mass, Nov. A.
The school of Central street and sew
eral adjoining outbuildings were burned
down last evening with a loss Of $20,-

Of incendiary origin, and the town off

building and the smaller one adjoining.
Soon after the fire started residents
in the neighborhood tried to enter the
building to save some of the relics and
records it contained, but they were driv-
en- back by the heat and smoke.
When the firemen arrived the inter-
ior Of the building was practically all
afre and they could only prevent it from
spreading The sparks were blown to-

FLETCHER NAMES VIEWS.
Statement by A. M. Fletcher, Candidate
for Governor of Vermont.

Burlington, Nov. 14.-In response to
a reporters request, Allen M. Fletcher
of Cavendish, who recently announced
his candidacy for governor of Vermont
on a Republican ticket, outlined his
views. He said he believed now was
the time for Vermont to show its pro-
gressiveness, especially in the develop
ment of natural resources.
To this end be thought there ought
TO be more publicity; that there should
be greater investment Of capital, both
local and foreign; also further develop
ment Of Fermont's highways for the
benefit of our own people as well as
tourists; general adoption Of modern
and profitable methods Of cultivating the
soil and marketing products, harnessing
OF water power now running to waste
and its use wholly within Vermont's bor-
ders; and the removal Of inequalities
Of the burden Of taxation.
While the state expects much from
its industrial development and the at
traction OF visitors, Mr.. Fletcher holds
that the hope Of the state must continue
to lie in its agricultural development
and the improvement OF It's rural COM
munities. It must have appropriations
TO help guard against pests that have
ravaged other states and are already
beginning TO appear within the borders
OF Vermont. There must be more gem
erous support OF agricultural schools and
colleges, and more thorough application
Of the knowledge thus gained to tile de-
velopment Of our farming interests.
Mr.. Fletcher believes that one 81 the
most effective ways TO help develop Yer
mont would be to pass law something
after the nature OF the New Hampshire
law, which seeks to encourage local in
vestment by exempting from taxation,
money loaned on real estate at five per
cent, or measure to establish some
special rate for money loaned at some
low rate of interest on realty, in such
a manner as not to interfere with our
general way of raising taxes

PRESIDENT MEETS
HIS CABINET AGAIN
Takes UP Consideration of Message to
Congress and Reports of the Cab
met Officers.

Washington, d. c., Nov. l4e--President
Taft met his cabinet to-day for the first
time in three months. The reassembling
Of the cabinet gave recurrence to the
rumor that Secretary Wilson is soon
to resign. This is generally believed
10 be true. 1t is stated that the secre.
tary Of agriculture is only delaying the
announcement of his resignation until
the president has decided upon another
man Tor the place.
Aside from the consideration of many
questions which have accumulated during
the summer, to-day's meeting was large.
" devoted to the consideration Of the
presidents message 10 Congress and the
official reports OF the cabinet officers
The presidents recommendations to Con-
gress for supplementary antitrust leg
slation, will be formed after a thor
ough conference with Attorney General

Republican Tri-CoIor Floats Over
Annoy Today
AND THE CITY is TRANQUIL
There Seems to Be General Feeling OF
Relief-Thirteen Vessels of Imperial
Fleet Went Over to the Revo. r
lutionists To-day.

Annoy, China, Nov. l4.-The republi-
There is no disorder and the shops re.
main open, with general feeling OF
relief.
The excitement that preceded the
change of government was quickly al
layed but the fear Of excesses kept the
populace in a nervous state. For sew
eral days there had been no local gov
ernment. Alarmed at the possibility OF
mob rule, Taotai fled to Hong Kong last
night.
Shanghai, Nov. l4.--Thirteen vessels
of the imperial fleet went over to the
revolutionists this morning. One of the
cruisers steamed up the river past the
settlement and dipped the white insignia
in salute to the foreign warships, to
which none of them responded.
1t would appear as though the situa.
tion in China has about reached a climax
The thoughtful men of both sides are
, anxious for a settlement. The extrem-
lists and the ignorant masses are anxious
to continue the struggle for supremacy
even though it spells ruin, disruption and
wholesale slaughter, which appear iney-
liable unless considerable concessions are
made by both parties.
All eyes are now turned to Picking
where Yuan Shi Kai doubtless viii en-.
deavor to demonstrate to the court the
danger which threatens it, Meanwhile
provincial governments have organized
and viii soon begin to give evidence Of
divergent opinions, which, it is feared, Il
viii be impossible to reconcile.
Throughout the newly reconstructed
provinces business is being carried on
spasmodically, but the tension is in.
crcasing. as the scarcity of food and mon.
ey is felt in the entire southern section
and particularly in Shanghai, where I
is estimated the population has increased
by 100000 in the last week.
This is regarded as one of the most
dangerous features of the situation
Unless the self-restraint of the mob is
greater than is believed, the continued
absence of organized government cannot
fail to result disastrously.
