T\HE report of conditions in the

"<HE report of conditions in the
Peruvian rubber districts.
made after a two years care
full investigation by the Brit
ish commissioner, Sir Roger Easement,
has attracted the attention of two gov
ernments, that of Great Britain and
that of the United States Of America.
Both have made representations to
Peru, demanding that the atrocities
cease.
Peru has sent DR.. Romulo Paroles
to the Putumayo district with instruc-
tons to make a second investigation
into conditions and report with recon-
mendations before Jan. /, 1913.
DR.. Paroles is well equipped for this
task, having spent several months in
the Putumayo district last year. He
ordered the arrest of many agents of
the rubber company accused Of COM
hitting atrocities against the Indians,
but 1t is said that the changing of
judges at a critical moment prevented
many convictions. The American
agent, Stewart Fuller, has preceded
DR.. Paroles into the Putumayo by
many weeks, and his report will reach
the Washington authorities before
that Of Dr. Paroles is communicated
to the Lima government. DR.. Paroles
in his previous re. ort confirmed the
charges of Sir Roger Easement, the
British consul general.
The British government has appoint
ed select parliamentary committee
to inquire whether any of the respon-
sibility of the atrocities rested upon
the British directors of the Peruvian
Amazon company.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-04-20
Why Should IUSe
CutiCura Soap?

"There is nothing the matter
with my skin, and l thought
Cuticura Soap was only for skin
troubles" True, it is for skin
troubles, but its great mission is
to P1rVent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its deli
cate emollient and prophylactic
properties have rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme purity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan-
tages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy, and the scalp
free from dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making
its use, in practice, most econom-
ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth of these claims may
be demonstrated without cost by
sending to "Cuticura," Dept. M,
Boston, for a liberal sample
cake, together with a thirty-two-
page book on the skin and hair.

GOLF CLUB REGULATIONS.
Several Changes Adopted at Special
Meeting Last Evening.

The nearness OF the goling season was
indicated by the earnestness Of the dis
cussion at special meeting OF the Barre
Golf club in the city council room Thurs
day night. when several amendments TO
the constitution and rules of the club
were adopted, chiefly in reference to the
use of the clubhouse and grounds by non
members and associate members
One OF the amendments grants associ-
ate members the rights of active mem
bers at the grounds from morning to
1880 p. m. except on5Saturdays, holidays
or any day on which there is Il team
match or annual tournament in progress,
Another amendment gives associate mem
bers unrestricted Use OF the club prop
erty and the right to compete in tourna-
ments by payment OF the same dues as
the active members, viz, five dollars.
4 third amendment limits the right of
members to have more than six resident
guests ithose within radius of ten
miles of Barrel during the year, with
the second and fourth Tuesdays of the
month particularly designated as wis
itors days" and such guests barred from
playing on those days barred to associ
ate members; single tickets to be 25
cents, as in the past a fourth amend
ment makes dues of associate members
two dollars, with no initiation fee. These
four amendments are based largely on
the recommendations of the executive
committee.
The meeting was presided over by
President B. W. Hooker, with l.. r.
Hutchinson as secretary.

LABOR NOTES OF
VIDE INTEREST
Vermont State Branch A. F. of L.
to Undertake to Get Enforce
ment of Public Statutes
Relative to Chairs for
Shop Girls.

1t NAV be of some interest to our
long suffering shop girls to know that
the Vermont state branch OF the Amer
Jean Federation of Labor has taken up
the question OF enforcing sec of the
public statutes relating to the employ
mtnt of child labor, and which reads
as follows:
Females under the age of Is years
shall not be employed, permitted or
suffered to work in any capacity where
such employment compels them TO re-
main standing constantly. Every per-
son who shall employ any female I'M
der the age of Is in any place or estab-
lishment shall provide suitable seats,
chairs or benches for the use of the fe-
males so employed, which shall be so
placed as to be accessible to said en-
ployes; and shall permit the use Of
such seats, chairs or benches by them
when they are not necessarily engaged
in the active duties for which they are
employed, and there shall be provided
at least one chair to every three fe-
males"
Considerable investigation has taken
place on this matter all over Vermont
and the federation will soon be in
position to lay long list of negligent
offenders before the state officials. A
further deputation will interview Gov
ernor Mead, SO that no step may be
left unturned which would deter the
spirit of this most humane law from be-
Ing lived up to not only in theory but
in practice.

Crew of Titanic Struggled Under
Cover by Ismay's Order
TO AVOID THE PUBLIC
Answer No Questions "Nobody's
Business" Says an Officer,
When Asked for
Information.

New York, April 20,Incensed by the
few stray bits OF information given
out Thursday night by members of the
crew of the Inflated Titanic, officials
OF the White Star line yesterday kept
the men so thoroughly under cover that
no trace of their whereabouts could be
discovered until late in the morning,
when it was found that a portion of
them had been transferred aboard the
ked Star liner Lapland where they were
held incommunicado.
The four surviving officers of the I'll
tanic. when they arrived on the Car
pathia,, were quickly transferred to the
Red Star liner, where they remained
until they were summoned to appear be-
fore the Senate investigating commit
tee. These officers had been instructed
to refuse to answer any questions ex-
cept those propounded by the commit
tee Of inquiry.
"Where are the members of the crew ?"
one of them was asked
"WhyW said the officer sharply.
Every one is anxious to hear their
side of the story. Their version of the
story might throw some additional light
on the tragedy"
Its nobodys business" snapped the
officer. He declined to talk further and
his mates were equally uncommunica-
tive.
1t developed yesterday that J. Bruce
Ismay, managing director of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine, had in
structed Vice President Franklin of the
same organization to segregate the Til
tanic's men as soon as they arrived on
the Carpathia. Mr.. Ismay urged Mr.
Franklin to make every effort to SNUG
gle the men in secmsion as soon as they
landed on the pier and to make speedy
preparations to get them out of the
country.
