THOSE BUTTER TESTS.
Dr.. B. II. Stone Makes Some Statements
TO Correct Misapprehensions

Burlington, Fcb, 2.--Dr. B. H. Stone,
director Of the Vermont state laboratory
has made the following statement con-
corning report of examination of butter
at his laboratory:
"It has been called 10 orr attention
that possibly some misapprehension ex-
lists in reference TO the report of exam
ination of butter for tubercle bacilli
made at the state laboratory of hy-
giene.
In making this report the actual con-
dition found on autopsy Of th,se animals
was reported as accurately as possible.
These autopsies showed positive evidence
of tubercnlar infection in three instances.
and the presence OF enlarged glands in
five. with absolutely negative results in
case of the other two animals. The
presence Of enlarged glands in the five
animals is not positive proof Of the pres
ence of tubercular infection in the ami
NAL as such LESSONS may be due to the
presence of other and less important
1t would not have been ac-
however, to have reported re-
suits in these cases as negative.
There was no intention in making
this report Of casting any further sus-
picion on any sample of butter examined
than that which the actual findings
:" II has been suggested that the aver
age reader might take the findings in
these five cases a. being positive proof
IF tubercular infection and that this
if such exists, may be cor
rected, we publish this communication"

CRIME ON THE INCREASE
Is Reiteration of Supt. Barss of Vermont
Industrial School

Burlington, Feb. 2.--J, N. Barss, sn.
perintendent of the state industrial
school at Vergennes, delivered last even
ing before the Mems club Of st. Paul 5
church foreeful, absorbing and sir
address upon "The Social Conditl !. ~
Vermont in which he detailed at
many deplorable conditions that nave
very naturally come under his obserya-
tion. Mr.. Barss is naturally a very good
speaker and he presents his facts most
eonvincingly and with no show of striy-
ing for effect. A good deal OF the subs
stance of his address last evening has
been presented before, recently at the
Ethan Allen club and at the First church.
Ii had to do with crime in Vermont, its
increase, and what the state does not
and what it should do.
One-fifth of one per cent. of the pop
ulation of the state, said Mr.. Barss. i
in prison, and five or six out Of every
100 persons are at some time in their
generation behind the bars. The sum OF
100000 was spent by the state Iast
year on account of crime, and this, he
said, did not include any town or eitys
cost in minor ways, nor DR.. Grout's work
~ " ANSiphg " NHttAt - VI sSDuIhG ilduC
necessary partly because of criminal con-
ditions. In considering whether crime
is on the increase. he cited statistics By
counties, irrefutable facts secured by
careful investigation by proper authori-
ties. II was here that he said, with a
great deal OF emphasis, "Oh. to You peo
pie. who say with SO much mock self
c0mplacency these things aren't so, say
they are. Because ] know they are.
Criticism Of Mr.. Barss statements at hi.
recent utterances in this city, statements
that have stirred up good deal of dis
cnssion and in some instances dissenting
opinions, had made him careful, he stated,
to be exact in what he said. Indeed he
said that statistics were not as compre.
hensiye as possible, and that instead OF
oyerstating they frequently understated
Crime is on the increase" he asserted,
"and the man who says it isn't is either
ignorant or preiudiced."

tempts on the part of sympathizers with
the strikers in Lawrence to hold public
meetings in Manchester were effectually
thwarted by the police last night under
the direct command Of the chief OF pc
lice, NJ. ]. Healy.
One of the out of-town speakers

eral organizer of the Industrial Workers
OF the World, was arrested and locked
up. He was charged with obstructing

lice that the charge will be pressed
against him.
Chief Healy told the crowds collect
ed at the several places where meetings
were advertised to be held that they
would be afforded every opportunity to
solicit and collect funds, even to stand
ing with solicitation boxes on the streets.
and he contributed "a from his own
pocket to make up a fund of SIS at one

Patrolman w. B. Scannell, but Lawrence

FORT ETHAN ALLEN NOT
LIKELY TO Be GIVEN UP
Says Report From Washington, and Yer
mont Congressman Are Inclined
to Make Light of Possibility
of Removing U. S. Troops.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2.-Secretary
of War Stimson and General Leonard
Wood have evolved an economic scheme
which is seemingly designed to counter
act the Democratic thunder along that
line Their idea, as conveyed to Con-
gress in recommendation" from Sec
rotary Stimson, is to wipe out about Is
army posts at one fell swoop, and the
gradual dismantling and abandonment
of about 10 more. Marked for ling
ering death in the latter category is
Fort Ethan Allen. The argument of
the secretary is that these posts have
about outliyed their usefulness, If they
ever had any, and the policy of con
ceutration" will enable them to be closed
and thus save their up-keep.
This has a very pleasing sound to
the professional economist. searching for
trouble, but, in the case Of Fort Ethan
Allen at least. there is muci ITO be said
in opposition. Primarily, Fort Ethan
Allen was founded and located in its
present position because of its strategic
value near the northern frontier. This
rea son has fully as much force now
as when it was located, if not more so.
Beyond that another excellent and
yitally practical reason for its continu-
ancc now exists. The forces in the Phil
ippines, after serving in that climate
for certain length of time, are neces-
sarily brought home and located at
some post, where the recovery of the
general health OF the command is of
immediate and especial Importance Aft
er repeated trials at different posts for
this purpose, Fort Ethan Allen has been
found to afford by far the most desra-
biiity from the standpoint Of climate.
Therefore it has come to be common
practice in the service to send troops
who have been enervated by tropical
climate to the Vermont post to regain
their physical stamina.
Again, with the statement that the
Panama canal will, when completed, ne.
cessitate the presence there of at least
10000 troops, the uses for the above
purpose of Fort Ethan Allen is certain
to be largely increased. As to the propo-
sition of the secretary Of war and its
probable result in the light of the above
facts, the members of the Vermont dele
CATION in Congress are emphatically of
one mind.

IS FACING A CRISIS.
Madero Government in Mexico Is Seri-
ously Involved.

Mexico City, Feb. .2.--It is the general
belief here that the Madero government
faces crisis.
The president and members of his
cabinet now admit that the rebellion
headed by Emiliano Zapata has grown
Ito such proportions as to make it the
most formidable menace yet faced by
the present government. The conduct
of the campaign against the Zapatists,
now operating over wide area, and the
uprising at Juarez Wednesday night,
were discussed in special cabinet meet
ing Yesterday afternoon. The president
was not willing to allow that the mu.
ltiny of troops at Juarez was directly
connected with the Zapatista rebellion,
and it was agreed that Pascual Orozco,
and four hundred men whom he has been
ordered to take from Chihuahua to Jua-
rez would be sufficient to restore ordcr
at that point.
The immediate cause of the mutiny
was misunderstanding of orders, ac-
cording to Abraham Gonzales, minister
of the interior The minister and Oroz-
co had been instructed to discharge 300
of the rurales, but to do so very grad
ually Instead of this being done, 10
were mustered out at one time. Min
lister Gonzales believes the post COM
mander misinterpreted 0rozcos orders.
"That affair is not particularly seri-
GUS" said Madero. "It was disagree
able incident, but the rebellious troops
are fighting under no special banner"
President Madero expressed to an As
sociated Press representative his conf
dence in the loyalty of Orozco and in
his ability to handle unaided the situa
ton in Juarez.
Reports yesterday from Chihuahua
and Torreon are that there has been no
disaffection among the troops there, but
a consular report to the American en-
bassy stated that the action of bandits
in the vicinity of Torreon has greatly
alarmed the people of that city. Acting
upon the consuls suggestion, Ambassa-
dor Wilson protested to the foreign of
flee against reported intention to re-
move the garrison.
To unofficial Mexico the significance of
the Juarez revolt lies in the fact that
insurrectionists have gained a port of
entry from the United States, the iden-
teal thing for which Madero fought for
so many weeks.
Zapata has recruited an army which
now operates in the states of Morelos,
Mexico and Guerrero and reaches even
to the federal district.
In an interview published yesterday in
FL Heraldo. Zapata said he had been
fooled by Madero often and did not pur-
pose to be misled by further promises.
IL am not fighting for the state of
Moraloe b,.+ for the entira nation - Ia,
said. "The plan of San Luis Potosi, the
soul of the revolution, has not been
carried out"
The rebel leader declared that the
suspension of guarantees had resulted in
bringing him recruits, since the laboring
element, believing they were in danger
of being shot as suspects, preferred to
join the rebellion.

Writ of Habeas Corpus Was
Applied For Today
IN LAWRENCE, MASS, CASE
Application Was Made on Ground That
Arrests Cannot Be Made as Alleged

Boston, Feb. "a motion for the issu-
ance of writ of habeas corpus to re-
lease on bail Joseph j. Ettor, the leader
of the textile workers strike in Law
renee, and his lieutenant, Arturo Giovan-

Massachusetts supreme court to-day.
The motion alleges that neither Ettor
nor Giovannetti can be arrested as ac
cessories in the death of the woman, who
was shot in the riot until the principal
has been taken into custody.
Judge Braley fixed $50 tomorrow
morning as the time for hearing on
the motion, although G. f. Roewer, jr.
counsel for Ettor and Giovannetti, asked
for an immediate hearing. The prison
ers probably will not be brought to Bos-
