INsTIGATED BY WOMAN.
Hardwick Man Said She Advised Him
to Commit Burglary.

st. Johnsbury. Jan 49, Many state
cases We're disposed OF in Caledonia coun-
ty court yesterday following the hearing
OF divorce petitions. The eases against
Alec Leeierc and Edward Trombley OF
this place for keeping intoxicating liquor
with the intent to sell We're entered
with a plea Of not guilty and the cases
were continued until next term. Thomas
Morrison. who was arrested in Law
renee, Mass. two weeks ago and brought
here to Jail, was arraigned on three
charges, keeping, selling, and breach of
the peace. He pleaded guilty TO each
Of the charges and was sentenced to
serve not less than eight nor more than
ten months in the county jail in pursu-
ance OF two OF the charges and as to
the other he was fined $500. Sentence
as to this was suspended, and the re-
spondent will be placed in the care OF
the probation officer as soon as his jail
sentence expires.
In the case Of state VS.. Arthur Allen
Of Hardwick there was a plea Of gull
ty to the charge of burglary. The re-
spondent Is twenty-seven years Of age
and said he had done his act as a conse-
quence OF female advice and instigation
and also while in a partial state of in
toxication He was informed by the
court that intoxication was no excuse
for crime and was awarded sentence
to the house of correction for a term
of not less than one year nor more than
one and one-half years. Alphonse Du-
mas Of St. Johnsbury was arraigned on
the same charge, that Of burglary. In
his ease, however. it appeared that he
claimed to have taken eight gallons of
syrup from Leon Pnard's sugar house
because said Pinard owed him. Upon
more careful investigation, he was adj
ysed to change his plea to that OF petit
larceny which he did and received not
less than two and one-half months nor
more than three months in the county
Jail
Edmund c. Morse Of Lyndon was ar
raigned on the charge Of keeping. He
pleaded nollo contendre and was sen
fenced to pay a fine Of $500 with costs
of prosecution Execution of sentence
was stayed and upon condition that the
respondent pay $50 within ten days he
win be placed in the care OF the proba
ton officer.
In the former case Of state vs. Heman
Gaylor Of this place. the respondent was
placed in the care of the probation Off
Ger last June upon condition that he ab
stain from the use Of intoxicating liquor.
1t was learned that he had broken over
last week and warrant issued to bring
him in for sentence Ii was thought
best, however, to give him one more
chance and his probation is extended for
two years.

VERMONT ON RECORD
AGAINST AMENDMENT
Both the House and the Senate Yester.
day Afternoon Voted Against the
Resolution to Ratify Federal
Income Tax Amendment
Income Tax Amendment.

Vermont went on record yesterday
afternoon as opposed to the income tax
amendment to the United States con-
stitution, the House turning down the
proposition by vote of 45 TO 1872, while
the Senate voted 10 to a. In the latter
branch the supporters Of the mendment
were led by Senator John w. Gordon,
who made lengthy and carefully pre-
pared statement, which tended to show
that the adoption Of the amendment
would only restore the United States
constitution to his original shape con-
eerning the imposition OF an income tax
and that it would equalize the burden
Of the taxation
Senator Gordon's points may be
summed up as follows: tl) That this
amendment is only restoration of
power that was taken away by iu-
dicial decision; ~ that the experience
of century demonstrated the safety
and need of that power in the consti.
tuition; (3l that the amendment would
not extend the federal powers to tax
any new subjects Of taxation, but would
only change the mode of exercising those
powers from the slave born rule of ap-
portionment 10 the equitable rule of
uniformity; az that the amendment is
absolutely necessary to enable the gov.
ernment to equalize the burdens Of its
support.
When the yea and nay vote was called
for by Senator Gordon, the following
senators, voted yea, Barden, Daniels,
Field, Hitchcock. Pike, Powell, Sheldon,
Shepardson and Smith. while the fol.
lowing voted against the adoption of
the resolution, Adams. Butter, Archibald,
Clark, Coolidge, Cults, Cushman, Dar-
ling, Edgerton, Grswold, Lyford, Nor
ton, Seayer and Taplin.
The opinions OF Vermont's represent
atives in Congress were quoted in the
debate IN the House, Representative ID.
j. Foster being quoted as in favor of
the amendment and as stating that only
two per cent. Of the people Of the state
would be affected. Senator Dillingham;
was quoted as being opposed to the
amendment first, last and all the time
and as saving that he would feel deep.
ly humiliated if Vermont should vote
for the adoption Mr. Peck Of Bur
liugton said he believed with the dis
senting opinions Of the L. S. supreme
court that no new power is asked for
the constitution.
On the yea and nay vote the resolu-
ton to ratify the amendment was de-
feated nearly three to one.
