I'm the opinion Of the department, I"
said the secretary's statement, "the
criticism of Mr.. Sullivan is entirely
unjust and will not be given weight
by those who take time to acquaint
themselves with the facts.
Minister Sullivan informs me,
without invitation from him, dis

J. Sullivan went to San Domingo
shortly after the appointment of Mr..
Sullivan. This relative Awas for

available who could superintend the
restoring of the trestle, asked the
former roadmaster to undertake the
work as a favor to the government,
and he did so without compensation.

INTERESTING EXHIBITS
Have Been Collected for the Cobble Hill
Grange Fair.

Those in charge Of the Cobbla vHill
grange fair, which opens tonight at the
grange hall on Trow hill and continues
through Friday night, have collected a
large number of articles which make a
very interesting exhibit. Besides that,
there is poultry show in which about
40 coops are placed, and in one of them
is shown the Sicilian Buttercup cockerel
that recently won special prize of a
s5 gold piece.
Many booths have been arranged for
the various exhibits in the fair proper,
including those for vegetables and grain,
fancy work, aprons, food, ice cream and
candy, with opportunity for the people
to purchase lunches, fish pond and an
tique department.
In the antique department are many
exhibits of great age and particular in
terest. For instance, there is chair
which dates back to l777 and bu-
reau of the same age. Then there are
spinning wheels and fax wheels, and il
is expected that demonstrations of the
use of these latter machines win be Civ
en-. OF especial local interest is the
harness which was used by Captain
William Bradford in hauling Barre gran
ite for the State House in Montpelier
from 1882 to 1887. The fair opens at
s o'clock.

Is Recommendation of Com
nittee That Investigated
George Junior Republic
GEORGE ACCUSED
OF LOOSE LIVING
1t Is Also Recommended
That Girls Be Not
Admitted

New York, Dec. 1s.--The removal of
William r. George from active partici-
patton in the affairs of the George Junior
Republic at Freevlle, which was found
ed by him ten years ago, was recon-
mended by the state board of charities
in its report made public to-day.
Georges moral conduct was condemned.
An investigation was begun six mnoths
ago, and more than fifty witnesses were
examined in regard to the charge of loose
living made against George by three
young women, who were former mem
bers of the republic. The testimony is
unprintable and no verdict as to whether
the charges were proved was rendered
by the committee under whose direction
the investigation was held. The board
also recommended that no more girls
be received in the republic.
The George Junior Republic originally
was founded as a refuge for bad boys,
who governed themselves under Georges
direction. Girls, who had strayed, after
wards were admitted.

FIRE KEPT BREAKING OUT.
But Damage Was Kept Down in House
on Plain Street.

For an hour this forenoon a detail of
firemen tussled with the intermittent
outbreaks of a chimney fire in the dou-
BILE tenement house at 2 Plain street
owned by City Clerk James Mackay
Once the fire communicated with the
roof and again it caught on the wall
paper in an upper room. Smoke poured
from the chimney in large billows and
folks in that section who glanced toward
Plain street thought that several build
ings were afre. The fire station got
telephone call around $3.50 O'Clock and
fremen responded at once in the auto
chemical truck. Never once did the blaze
assume the proportions of threatening
fire, but the regulars were kept constant
ly on the alert with chemicals and buck
cts of water. Both were applied sew
eral times. The house is occupied by
John r. bowers. The damage was
slight.
The morning call came on the heels
of a months vacation which the de-
partment has enjoyed from alarms of al
most any kind. Nov. q the truck was
called to Prospect street for a minor
outbreak in the boot shop where Ra-
phael Barsha once cobbled Until to-
day it had not left the station since,
although a lone fireman has occasionally
been called with hand chemical to
watch chimney fire in the month in
tervening. The record is considered un-
usual by the department men.

WILL CONTEST COMPROMISED.
Adopted Daughters Get Larger Share
Than Specified.

Boston, Dec. lS.-The fight to break
the will of the late Mrs. Sarah Ella
Hartsborn, whose $4,000 estate was in
herited from her father, Daniel Sharp
Ford, who built the Ford building and
owned the Youths Companion, was com
promised yesterday.
BY the decree of Judge George of the
probate court effecting the compromise,
the contestants, Ida Upham Hartshorn
and Bertha Hartshorn MacAusland,
legally adopted daughters of the testa-
trix, will receive $4,000 each, instead
of the $4,000 left each of them, and
half of the residue of the estate, instead
of merely the income of it after their
adopted fathers death.
The Northfield schools, which were
formerly known separately as the Mount
Hermon school for boys and the North
field seminary, but were merged in 1912,
will by the compromise receive $4,000,
instead of $4,000, as originally be-
queathed
The husband of the deceased, William
n. Hartshorn, by the will was to receive
the income of the residue of the estate
during his lifetime. BY the compromise
he gets the income of half, and at his
death that half goes to the Northfeld
schools outright.

Because He Expects to Sign
Currency Bill by Next
Tuesday
VACATION PLANS
CONTEMPLATED
Will Leave Washington Just
as Soon as He Signs
the Measure

Washington, D. G., Dec. lS.-President
Wilson will give his first cabinet dinner
tonight at the White House. A few in
vited guests outside of the cabinet will
be present, including Mayor-elect Nit
chel of New York. 1t is the first state
function of the season.
The New Years reception win not be
held this year and there is possibility
that the diplomatic reception, scheduled
this year for January 6, may be delayed a
few days to give the president longer
rest in a southern climate.
The agreement to vote on the currency
bill in the Senate, with the prospects
of its being placed before the president
for his signature by next Monday or
Tuesday made Mr.. Wilson's plans for a
vacation more definite. He will leave
Washington Immediately after signing
the bill and will be away at least two
weeks, possibly three. II is not yet
announced where he will 60, but the
choice is said to lay between some point
in Mississippi and Ashville, North Caro-
lima
President Wilson had few engage
ments to-day. He arranged to take part
in planting an elm tree on the White
House grounds, where the Cleveland elm
was torn from its roots by the storm
several months ago.

BOTH WOMEN HELPLESS.

clan Who Broke Into House.

Winooski, Dec. ls.-Miss Mary O'Sul-
livan and her nurse. Mrs. Riley, were
nearly asphyxiated by coal gas yester-
day morning. Miss 0'Sulliyan, who re-
sides on Hickok street, was not well
Tuesday, and DR.. Heath attended her

call, but on finding the door locked
thought Miss O'Sullivan was resting and
went away Miss Mary Cannon, neigh
Dor, went to the house to call towards
noon. She also found the door locked,
with no signs of any one in the house.

had made call in the morning. DIR.

AMERICANS ARE SAFE.
Assurances Were Received in Washing
ton Official Circles.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 49, Reassur-
ance as to the safety of Americans in
Chihuahua, conveyed yesterday by Con-
sui Letcher, Immediately upon the re-
opening of telegraphic communication
between that city and III Paso, came as
relief to the administration here.
Washington officials had felt that stories
emanating from refugees and federal
partisans, to the effect that Americans
and other foreigners in chihuahua were
being subjected to gross mlstreatment
by the constitutionalists were without
foundation; but in the absence OF any
official information on the subject, 1T
had been impossible to convey definite
assurance to many anxious inquirers.
So far, Consul Letcher has forwarded
the state department no reply OF Gen
eral Villa to its representations regard
ing the treatment of the Spanish resi-
dents of Chihuahua, but it is assured
that he received the message as it is
easy to communicate quickly with the
rebel general, owing to Villas military
activity along the extended line of the
extended line of the constitutionalist
army. Little doubt is felt that General
Villa will heed the admonitions of the
department and extend proper treatment
to the Spanards as well as to other for
eigners. In this connection, department
officials deprecate the demonstrations in
favor of Huerta which are said to have
been made by the Spanish element on
the American side of the border.
Americans and the whole foreign col
ony at Tampieo are now enjoying
period of quiet after the exciting events
of the past week, but the peace of mind
is marred by the news that 1000 con-
stitutionalists are encamped within 20
miles of the town and may renew their
attack upon the federal defenses as soon
as they can replenish their store of am
munition. There is likely to be little
change in the disposition of the vessels
of the American fleet near Tampico for
the present
