GOVERNOR AND
STATE TREASURER
IN DISAGREEMENT

Barre May 22.-An acute disagree
ment between Governor Fletcher and
State Treasurer Deavitt, with the
question of the latter's bond rs the
apparent cause of the disagreement, is
becoming more generally known
throughout the state, although it has
been limited at in some quarters for
some time. 1t Is said that the matter
has been brewing for several months
and that on Wednesday, when in Mont
pelier, Governor Fletcher called upon
Treasurer Deavitt to furnish a new
bond, which the treasurer declined to
do
II latterly has become known, too.
that Governor Fletcher addressed a
formal communication TO the Vermont
supreme court about three months ago
under section 1,34l of the public stat
Iutes, in which he submitted the matter
of recalling the treasurer's bond and
requiring a new surety. This COM
munication, it Is said. was not acted
upon by the supreme court; and Gov
ernor Fletcher withdrew 1t recently.
When asked regarding the matter
last night, Governor Fletcher admitted
that such a communication had been
| submitted 10 the supreme court ana
that 1t had latterly been withdrawn;
also that State Treasurer Deavitt has
been asked for n new bond. which that
official thus far has declined to furnish.
Treasurer Deavitt is said to be back
ed up by Attorney General Rufus f.
Brown of Burlington on the ground
that the governor, or any other per-
son, has no right to demand a new
bond and that the bond of State of
ficer once approved and filed. must
stand during the officers term. At
torney General Brown, 1t will be re
called, Is not in close harmony with
Governor Fletcher over at least one
matter. that regarding expenditures
for detective service. ~ being alleged
that $4,000 was spent In that work

THE DEBUTANTE.
(TO All of Them)

She has parted the curtains of child
hood
And stepped, like startled fawn,
Through the rift that closes forever
On days that have vanished and
gone. y
There's no thorn on the rose she is
plucking,
No cloud in the wide blue above;
Life seems like glorius drama,
And the end of the play is love.
For she moves in the radiant glory
OF wonderful dreams come true,
Through labyrinths of pleasure un-
winding
Ariadne's mystical clew.
May she follow it safe to the ending
With never a break in the thread,
May the flowers blow sweet on her
pathway
And stars shine ever oerhead!
