HOUSTON RECEIVES
FORESTRY CHARGES
Accusations Against Daniel w.
Adams, lumberman In Serv.
ice, General In Character.

Chief Forester Graves, Of the Forest
Service, has placed in the hands Of Sec
retary Of Agriculture Houston complete
and detailed answer to the charges
brought against the conduct Of forestry
affairs by Daniel w. Adams, Of North
Carolina, who recently resigned a. lum-
herman in the service.
The charges according to Mr.. Graves,
are general and along the same stereo-
typed lines a. the charges by opponents
Of the bureau since conservation first
became an issue. Mr.. Adams, he says,
made application for the position Of
Chief Forester and fled his memoran-

and improvidence, along With his appli-
cation to Secretary Houston.
The entire matter u now In the Sec-
retary's hands for his consideration.
Most Of the charges, Mr.. Graves de-
clared, were either general In character
or a gross exaGgeration Of the facts.
Some Of them were directed against
practices that must be maintained Be.
cause Of the forestry laws, and the
criticism 10 directed 1t the statutes
rather than at the administration.
Secretary Houston n not yet prepared
to make any statement IN the case.

but lack of funds prevented its COM
pletion.
The fact that a wooden stairway
leads into the sattic. which manner of
entry and exit is regarded as dangerous

The Board Of Education is asked to pro-
vide an iron stairway on the outside of

posed to have inclosed. President Burr
requests the board to equip the third

WeIi-known Clergyman Passes
Away at PIattsburq.

Rev. David N. Burke, pastor of the
Roman Catholic church in Lake Placid,
N. Y, died at the Plattsburg hospital
Tuesday night after an illness from
which he had been confined for several
months. Father Burke was born in
Middlebury November 16, 1885, and
was the son of David and Mary Burke,
for many years well known residents
here. He received his early education
in the Grammar school of Addison
county. He graduated from Middle
bury college in the class of 1867, and
Immediately took up the profession of
teaching, which he followed for ten
years. The next two years he devoted
to lecturing in the West, returning in
1879 and again taking up teaching in
Mineville, N. Y, where re remained
until he was appointed in 1886 United
States consul to Venezuela by President
Cleveland which position he held until
the breaking out of the revolution in
Brazil in 1888, when he was transferred
to that country to protect the interests
of American citizens in Brazil and to
close up some embarrassing diplomatic
questions.
Mr.. Burke was continued in this po-
sition by President Harrison at the re-
quest of the then Secretary If State
Blaine In Cleveland s second term he
was commissioned as Consul General to
Spain and later to Morocco, holding
these offices with credit to his country.

DROWNED IN OTTER GREEK
Five -Year-OId Slips into Strea m
While Playing on Rocks.

A particularly sad drowning accident
occurred in this village Sunday morning,
the victim being Theodore Arthur Oney,
the five-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Oney, who reside on Seymour
street, this village. The accident hap
pened near the pulp mill bridge. The
child in company with his ten-year-old
brother, Claude, was playing upon some
rocks and slipped into the water which
was about four feet deep at that point.
The body was recovered Sunday after
noon about 300 feet below where the
child fell into the water, having passed
through a seres of swift rapids.
Between 10 and II o'clock the two
boys were playing on the rocks when
the smaller child slipped into the
stream Powerless to help his little
brother the older boy hurried for assist
ance. Word was sent to the boy S
father, who was at church. A search
ing party was quickly formed and the
older brother insisted that he had seen
the body swept through the rapids.
The searchers, however, were inclined
to ink that the child was mistaken
and for some time their efforts were
devoted to dragging the stream near
where the little fellow fell into the
water. Finally, satisfied that the older
boy story might be correct a search
was made below the rapids and the
body was found by John Forrest in
about 80 feet of water.
The point where the child's body was
found is in the town of Weybridge and
Selectman John James of that town
viewed the body which was afterwards
taken to the home of the child's parents
on lower Seymour street Besides his
parents the child is survived by four
brothers and one sister. Mr.. Oney is
employed by the Vermont Marble COM
pany in this village.
The funeral was held at the home
Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock. Rev.
j. d. Shannon officiated at the grave.
Burial was in the Catholic cemetery
Among those present from out of town
were Mrs. William Oney, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Oney, son and daughter George,
Leonard and Miss Agnes Oney of Rut-
land and Mrs Fred Stone of Warrens-
