VOTED TO INVITE
De B0ER TO SPEAK
Meeting of Supporters of Montpelier Man
for Governor of Vermont Also
Commended His Qualifications
for the Office.

A representative gathering Of loca
citizens, who favor the nomination o
| Joseph A. DeBoer of Montpelier for tn
next governor of Vermont, was held il
| the Manufacturers rooms last evening
when action was taken looking towarl
the formation of DeBoer club and tn
securing of Mr.. DeBoer's services as I
| speaker on state issues in Barre SOM
time in the near future. A very consid
cradle degree OF enthusiasm was mani
tested in the idea and it is likely tha
some tangible expression of DeBoer sen
timent in this city will follow as I
result of the meeting.
In few words, l. L. Springer outlneC
the purpose of the gathering and gav,
his impressions of Mr.. DeBoer's candi
dacy as it has thus far materialized. ]
p. Marr was chosen to act as chairman
of the meeting and Mr.. Springer wa.
appointed secretary. In his Introductory
remarks, Chairman Marr said that he
believed the rank and file Of voters in
Barre would favor Mr. DeBoer, although
he took eognizance OF the fact that in.
terests We're working for the welfare Of
another candidate. A poll of the senti.
ment of voters from Depot square to
the city hall, however, might not truly
reflect the prevailing sentiment, said Mr.
Mari.
A resolution previously drawn up was
placed before the meeting by Secretary
Springer and a discussion OF the clauses
Incorporated therein followed. After
amending portion of the contents OF
the original the resolution made to read
as follows was adopted unanimously:
BE it resolved by the citizens Of Barre
here assembled, That we welcome the op-
portunity to vote for Joseph A. DeBoer
of Montpelier for the next governor of
this state.
I'VE recognize his especial litness, both
through ability and character
Therefore, be it resolved. That we
avail ourselves of Mr.. DeBoers promise
to meet the people in any part of the
state upon invitation from them, and
that We invite and provide for his APP
pearance among Us Mt his first CON
venience to speak concerning state is.
sues."
Senator John w Carbon moved that a
committee on invitation and arrange
ments be appointed ito fix a date for Il
meeting to consider the question OF or
ganizing a DeBoer club" Douglas NJ
Barclay, H. G. Woodruff and William
Marr were nominated to constitute this
committee. Although heartily endorsing
Mr.. DeBoers candidacy, William Mari
asked that he be excused from serving
and the name of J. p Marr was accord
ingly substituted The members were
elected by scclamation and the resolution
which empowered the committee to act
as already stated was adopted unani-
mously. 1t is probable that the com.
mittee win at once make arrangements
for Mr.. DeBoer's speech and form any
preliminary plans necessary for the or
gtnization of club.
A petition circulated in the city has
received nearly 300 signers, who therein
pledge their individual and collective
support toward the promotion of his
The action taken last even
ing is said to represent the sentiments
expressed by the signers of the petition.

In Relieving Famine Sufferers In China
Red Cross Doing the Work

! Burlington, Feb. 0.--Ip response to the
/ appeal made by President w. II. Taft
OF the American hed Cross for aid to
assist the sufferers from the famine in
China, the Vermont state board met
| yesterday afternoon at the Van Ness
house TO form plans for making the ap-
peal in this chapter, which includes the
state OF Vermont. GOV. J, A. Mead pre-
sided at the meeting and those present
included II. $. Howard, the treasurer,
ana Judge c. H. Darling of this city,
the secretary, G. s. Forbes of st. Al
bans, and H. n Turner OF st. Johns
bury. Letters Of regret at their in
ability to attend were read from Dir.
Henry ID. Holton OF Brattlsboro and
A. NJ. Fletcher OF Cavendish. The other
members OF the board, who, with those
already mentioned will be glad to re-
eeive contributions from the public are
Edward G. Smith of ST. Albaus, Curtis
s. Emery Of Newport and Redfield Proc
tor of Proctor.
The board voted to make the appeal
through the press and to request volun-
tary contributions OF money. Gifts Of
clothes and other articles are not de-
sired as the cost OF shipping would be
excessive and the goods required by
the sufferers can be purchased in the
Orient at much lower cost than they
could be here.
The appeal is made BY President Taft
end is urged on BY tho feet that thous-
ands are reported to. be starving In
Chinas interior. The rivers have over
flowed their banks and destroyed most
of the crops, and heroic steps must be
taken for the relief Of the people. The
chapters all over the United States are
asked to contribute and the work will
be pushed as rapidly as possible An
admirable feature Of the manner in
which this will be carried on is that
every cent contributed will find its way
directly to China Not even money for
postage viii be deducted as the laws
OF the order require that all such ex-
pehses shall be betrayed out of the
money from membership dues.
Vermont chapter has already received
a little more than $50 for the relief
fund.

ENGLISH SHOW RESENTMENT
At Sentence Imposed on British Subject
in Germany.

London, Feb 6-There is rising tide
of anger throughout England over the
sentence to three and half years Of
confinement in the fortress, which was
passed in the German imperial court at
Leipsic upon Bertrand Stewart, a prom
inent lawyer of London, on the charge
of espionage. The feeling aroused prom
ises to give the affair an Importance Sec
only only to that of the Dreyfus case
in France.
The difference, which is grave, is that
instead of racial passions
are now aroused, and there is pOssi-
bility that the incident may prove to be
the last straw in the long aceumulating
burden of Anglo-German hostility.
