 Belgium again refused the Daily Mail says
 It is understood that Turkey has as- sured the British government that the cruisers Goeben and Breslau. which are now in the Dardanelles will be disarmed but there are reasons to be- lieve that Turkey has purchased them and intends putting them into com mission. This, in the opinion of the Daily Mail will be a grave breach of neutrality. "If Turkey intends to en- ter the war as Germanys ally or to pay off old scores against Greece" the Daily Mail says, "she must be warned that in either case retribution will be swift and certain It appears that Germany offered to sell the Goeben to Turkey some time ago. but the deal failed because Turkey stipulated the vessel be delivered with the crew" " The admiralty sent out cruisers which will ply the Atlantic protecting the trade routes The French government has sent warships in search or the German cruisers known to be in the Atlantic.
 ,"The enemy's ships" official report says, Twill be hunted continually and although some time will be necessary to run them down they will be kept too busy to do much mischief Every day the British control of the trade routes becomes stronger, especially of those in the Atlantic"

J. Ogden Armour Issues State
 ment in Which He BIames
 Farmer and StOCkman For Advanced Prices and Shortage
Circumstances of Week Past, States the Pork King, Were
 Beyond Control-ThinkS Con-
 ditiOns Will Become Better

CHICAGO. Aug Receipts at the stock yards for the past two weeks have been approaching the famine basis according to a statement issued by J. Ogden Armour president of Ar mour and Company. At the same time Armour vigorously denied the charge that packers have made the European war an excuse to raise their prices During the last two weeks Armour and Company have killed few CT hogs than during any similar period in the history of the concern.
 Mir Armour said the shortage is due to an actual shortage of live stock with which packers have been contend ing for a year, together with a natur- al tendency of the producer 10 hold back stock in hope of war time prices.
 "The circumstances last week" MT. Armour sad were utterly beyond the control of anybody and directly af- fected live stock and mead prices
 The financial situation everywhere, which is now past. made it impossible for buyers and shippers in stock grow ing sections to send stock to the mar ket Then Washington very properly sent out official advice to the farmers to hold their crops This was ad- dressed to cotton and wheat growers but had its effect on an farm products. Conditions now are fast becoming nor nal and prices will soon be On a more even basis.
 These are facts from our nine plants and will be paralleled by every one of the other packing companies. The other day we were able to fill but one third of our order from one nation at war because the raw material could not be obtained Our business men are as patriotic as any other element and are not looking for a chance to squeeze an extra dollar out of abnor- maj conditions. If all keep cool and avoid mysteries we will pull out of this unusual situation to the satisfaction of everybody"

MUSIC OF HIGH ORDER.
Was Given at 10th Annual Musical Con-
vention at East Montpelier.

The sixteenth annual musical conyen-
tion OF the East Montpelier association
closed last evening with a grand concert
that was thought by many to be the
best ever given. The large East Mont
pelier hall was filed with very appre-
eiative audience and nearly every num-
Der OF the long program was encored,
and many Of them were encored more
than once.
All the surrounding towns aud the
cities of Barre and Montpelier were well
represented by some of their best mu
sicaI talent and each and all OF them
rendered music that was more than
pleasing and also OF high order OF
merit A chorus OF SO voices gave sew
eral selections under the usual efficient
direction of C. +. Dudley.
Especially pleasing was the cantata,
"The Wreck of the Hesperus," with tenor
solos by DIR. ID. G. Jarvis of Barre, a
member of the Temple male quartet OF
Barre and Montpelier, and bass solo
sung by Frederic Edwards of Montpelier
and soprano solos by Miss Blanche Spar
hawk of Randolph; also a duet by the
soprano and bass singers.
Yesterday afternoon there was
chorus rehearsal from 80 to 3 o'clock.
and then matinee from 3 to 4. The
soloists for the afternoon were Mrs. p.
Z. Russell of Burlington, Mrs. Richard
Bradley of Barre and Mrs. J.. G. Ham
nett of East Montpelier Mrs. Russell
played her own accompaniment. Miss
Grace Bliss of Calais sang to her own
accompaniment a sweet bird song of her
own composition, both words and music.
The Temple quartet sang several times
during the matinee.
Miss Blanche Sparhawk, the soprano
soloist of the convention, pleased all who
heard her and the accomplishments for
the matinee and the evening were by
Mrs. X. l.. Cleayes of Montpelier, who
needs no special words of praise, as all
have heard her many times and have
taken much delight in her perform
ances. Several other solos were also
well given.
Following the concert there was dane
ing from 1880 TO a. M, Dudley's or
chestra furnishing music. An oyster
supper was served at midnight, rounding
out the success of the convention.

WANT DEED SET ASIDE.
And Accounting Made in Burlington
Property.

Burlington, Feb. l4.-Papers have
been filed in the county clerks Office in
the case of Thomas Reeves administra-
tor, VS.. Albert Boyer and wife. This is
a bill in chancery to set aside deed

tion alleges that at the time of the
making of the deed which is objected to
the late Henry Patterson, OF whose es-
tate Mr.. Reeves is administrator, was
about 80 years of age and that his wife,
Armina Patterson, was Sc. 1t is alleged
that neither was of mental capacity at
the time to dispose of the property and
that the defendant knew of their in
capacity. Defendant also seems to have
gotten a number of hens out of the
transaction, together with other per-
sonal property, for which an accounting
is asked. The attorneys in the case are
I. L. Hopkins for the plaintiff and
Sherman r. Moulton for the defendant.
Another case entered with the county

A REAL sNowsToRM.
Filled Streets To-day, Making Traffic
Rather Difficult.

The heaviest storm of the winter fol-
lowed on the heels of this weeks cold
snap. The late hours of Friday after
noon saw the mercury seeking higher
levels and by 0 o'clock it was lowering
arour zero with a tendency to climb
rather than to sink. Around midnight it
began showing, fitfully at first, and then
in earnest as the morning approached.
The temperature did not rise appre-
ciably during the forenoon, but thick
falling of snow showed no signs of slack
ening at noon. Apparently only sporadic
attempts We're made to keep the streets
and sidewalks clear of snow. City em-
ployes who ventured into the storm with
snow-plows could keep little better. than
even with the precipitation. The eondi-
tion of the walks offered little induce
ment to pedestrians so rapidly did the
snow descend. Early in the day it be-
came evident that service on both rail
road lines entering the city would be in
terrupted before nightfall. Morning
mails were somewhat delayed and as the
day passed, traffic on the branches and
the main lines became more and more
impaired. The passenger train due from
Williamstown was nearly a half hour
late. Trainmen reported heavy drifts on
the branch. A snow-plow was sent out
ahead of the ll;25 train due for Mont
pelier junction. Everywhere along the
line railroad men reported long delays
on trains going north and south. Mean
while heavy snow clouds continued to
sift their cargo out over the landscape.
Railroad men would not venture to fore
cast the situation tomorrow should the
storm persevere.

Worst Storm of Season Is
Sweeping Over Eastern
United States
NEW ENGLAND HAS
DEEP BLANKET
Boston Had More at s A. M.
Than Entire Snowfall
of the Winter

Boston, Feb. l4.--Close on the heels Of
the winters severest cold wave came a
snowstorm which promised to-day to be
the heaviest of the season. Starting at
midnight, several inches had fallen by
daylight and as the hours went by the
snow came faster, driven before brisk
northeast wind. Street and railroad
traffic were much impeded as the result.
Although the snowfall has been heavy
in northern New England, up to date
the total deposit OF all the seasons
storms in eastern Massachusetts had
been only eleven inches. Up to eight
o'clock this morning the snowfall in
Boston had exceeded the previous total
for the winter.
Snow was falling throughout the New
England states and every means of
transportation was retarded. The storm
brought with it decided rise in tenn
perature, but the weather bureau pre-
dicted resumption of severe cold with
the passing of the disturbance tonight
or tomorrow.
The severity of the storm off shore is
indicated by the hurricane at Block
Island, where wind velocity of 6s
miles an hour was recorded

bury Yesterday.

meeting of the Addison County Fish and

prandial exercises. Il. G. johnson of Will
liston rendered dialect selections, and
responses were made to toasts by several
speakers.
State Fish and Game Commissioner
John w. Titcomb Of Lyndonville gave
statistics from his department, showing
that the annual proceeds of the fish and
game industries in the state are now a
little more than half million dollars,
and explained laws passed by the legis-
lature favorable to the industries and to
the aims of state and county fish and
game leagues. DIR. A. K. Lambert, dean

EAGLES AT BANQUET AND DANCE.
Interspersed Was Very Interesting
Program--Fifty Couples Present

Barre aerie, No. 1853, Fraternal Order
Of Eagles, held its annual banquet and
dance in Eagles hall in the Worthen
block last evening with an attendance OF
80 couples. The early hours Of the even
ing were devoted to feasting and it was
not until 10 O'Clock that the most di
yerting feature of the affair was finished.
There were number of Montpelier
Eagles and their wives present as guests
of the local aerie. One long table abund-
antly loaded down with good things
served the purposes of the occasion. The
banqueters were welcomed by President
Richard Attridge
Afterwards there followed an interest
ing program of musical and literary
numbers. The program included songs,
duets, piano solos and readings. Thomas
Mcdonald was one of the principal So
loists and his contribution to the pro-
gram brought forth much merited APP
plause. The program was wholly in
formal, but nearly every guest responded
willingly to the presidents call for a
contribution. Throughout the eveGing
Harris orchestra furnished an excellent
brand of music and after the program,
when the company repaired to Worthen
hall, across the corridor, the musicians
played for the dancing.
Credit for the successful manner in
which the banquet and dance arrange
ments were carried out is. due largely to
the efforts of the executive committee.
The members supervised the banquet
and acted later as floor man
ayers for the dance. The committee con-
sisted of Charles Scott, David Melon
aid, Richard Attridge and Guy 0ltolini.

and forward upper structure covered
with ice and part of the rail on the
upper deck carried away by heavy
seas, the liner Oceanic, nearly two days
late, arrived at quarantine from South
hampton last night.
The weather was exceptionally bad on
Feb. 7, and three days later while near
ing this port, the vessel ran into an
eighty mile gale, enormous seas and hail
causing reduction of her speed to
eight knots an hour.
A heavy sea was breaking over the
bow of the liner on Feb. ~ caught IL
first cabin passengers in their deck
chairs and carried them along the deck.
The rail prevented their being swept
overheard. The same wave broke three
port lights of cabin, the flying glass
cutting a passenger severely enough to
necessitate the attention of the ships

Litvin, the hackman, who drove two
men TO the house, was held for county
court on the charge of being accessory
before the fact,
In imposing sentence Judge Palmer
said that the case OF the Phillips woman
seemed to be an aggravated one and was
almost inconeeiyable TO human intelli-
gence. The woman, who swas receiving
the charity Of the city. had FIVE small
children, and the city had evidently done
all it could for her, but its charity had
been abused by the dishonest method the
woman had been taking TO earn money.
The only thing in her favor. the court
remarked, was that she had told the
truth on the witness stand, which would
earn her small reduction in sentence
The sentence was that Mrs Phillips be
confined at the state prison in Windsor
for period OF not less than two years
and one month, nor more than four
years. The Young woman was given
the same sentence but with minimum
Of two years.
The defense decided to put in no evi.

Attorney Enright said that he did not
think the man could be convicted in
county court if the statute under which
he was prosecuted were correctly inter
preted He asked that the bail be re-
duced to $500. The court, however, de-
cded to keep the bail at the original
figure, 81 600, and held the man for trial
in county court,
