PRINCIPAL WITNESS GONE.
So John Smith, cOlOred, Is Likely to Be
Set Free.

Burlington, Jan 9-Because the prin-
cipal witness in the case cannot be found.
John Smith, a colored man, who has
been in Jail since last October, will be
liberated soon and the case against him
nolle pressed. Smith is charged with
stealing about $50 from H. r. Brown, a
fellow employe at the dam in Essex
Junction. The case was partially tried
but after the examination of one witness
it was continued until Brown could be
produced to give his testimony. The
sheriff went IN search of him and has
been searching ever since without sue
cess. Meanwhile Smith has remained in
Jail but as the officers have given up
hope of finding their man the prisoner
viii be released, probably to-day.
Brown at the time of the robbery had
received a considerable sized amount of
money. He suddenly missed it and at
once suspected Smith. He made COM
plant and a warrant was issued for
Smiths arrest and the negro was placed
in Jail At the trial a witness was pro-
duced who said that he saw Smith with
a large amount of money Immediately
following the robbery and said that
Smith asked him to keep some of it for
him. II looked as though the case for
the state was to be a strong one when
Brown disappeared.

JUMPED FOR THEIR LIVES.
Lumbermen in Stowe Had Narrow Es-
cape from Death in Fire.

Stowe, Jan. 9.-The house at the Chat
fee camp in the "ranch" on the South
branch about two miles from Stowe
Forks and belonging to the G. 4. 4 +. 0.
Hurt laundering company, was burned

house was occupied by Charles Chaffee,
foreman, and eight or 10 men, who slept
upstairs, and Mr.. and Mrs. A. Z. Horner
and son, who slept below, Mrs. Horner
being cook for the camp. The fire is
supposed to have started from clothing
left drying too near the fire.
One of the men upstairs was awakened
by the smell of smoke On opening
the door at the foot of the stairs the
flames rushed up the stairway, cutting
off the retreat that way. The men has
tlly awakened, jumped out of the win
dows to the ground, leaving most OF
their clothing behind. Mr.. Chafiee threw
out his fur coat and landed upon that
narrowly escaping hitting stump. One
of the men dashed back through the
stairway and secured some of the mems
clothing, but not enough to supply them
all, one man being left without pants.
The family below were able to save a
part of their belongings. The inmates
made their way to the MeManus camp
about half mile below, some of them
barefooted. From there two men came
to Stove Forks and telephoned to the

MARKED INCREASE
IN FOOD IMPORTS
Was Noted During November, Condition
Being Particularly Noticeable in
Fresh Beef and Beef Cattle.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 9.-Food inn
portations in November showed marked
increase over the corresponding month
of the preceding year and a material
increase over the figures for October.
This is especially apparent in fresh beef
and beef cattle. Importations of fresh
beef which amounted to 5,666,000 pounds
in October were practically double the
quantity in November, the figures for
November being lS,S56,5l6 pounds, val
ued at S900,2 ,296. OF pork the importa-
tions during November were 10000
pounds and of mutton, $4,000 pounds.
More than one-half of the beef imports
came direct from England, 3,250,000
pounds having been received at New
York and 2,250,0O0 pounds at Boston;
while Canada sent 2,666,000 pounds to
Chicago, 100000 pounds to New York,
and 250,000 pounds to Boston. At the
Pacific coast ports the imports were
$4,000 pounds, chiefly from Australia.
As to the origin of the practically
100000 pounds of beef imported from
England, the records supplied to the bu-
Teau of foreign and domestic commerce
make no specific statement, though the
fact that there were practically no ar
rivals of fresh beef direct from Argen-
tina suggests that at least portion of
the beef coming from England may have
originated in Argentina, which country
is now England's chief source of supply
OF foreign grown beef.
Cattle importations in November also
show very large increase over those
of the corresponding month of 1912, hav-
ing been l23,llS head, valued at 49,
306, 723. against 43,75s head, valued at
$500 35S, in November, 1912. The total
number of cattle imported in October
and November, under the operations of
the new tariff law, was 253,757 head,
valued at S6,704,79O. The value of cat
tie imports in October and November
was greater than that of all the earlier
months of the year, while the quantity
of beef imported was also much in ex-
cess of that of the earlier months of
the year. The value of cattle imports
for the full calendar year will approx
mate Sl5.000,000, while the exports of
cattle will amount to less than 81 ,O00,-
001 value, against S3,500,0O0 in 1912,
$4,000. 600 in 1911, S24,000,0OO in 1908,
and S4l 100000 in 1906.
The importations of wheat during the
month of November were $4,000 bush
els. against 1000 bushels in November
1912. and of flour, l0,s24 barrels, against
G,l90 barrels in the same month of 1912
Importations of oats in November were
5,l32. sos bushels, against 4,266 bushels
in November of the preceding year. The
importations of potatoes during Novem-
Der were 764 .s63 bushels, against l0,66s
bushels in November, 1912.

Is Appeal by Boston Cham
Der of Commerce to
New England
PEOPLE OF SECTION
ARE EXPORTED
Relieve Railroad of Unduly
Burdensome Con-
tracts

Boston. Jan. 0.--If the people of New
England will only pull together, tht
Boston & Maine railroad can be put or
its feet, say the directors of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce in a statement
issued to-day. The directors urge that
The railroads be relieved of contracts
that are unduly burdensome, that leases
OF other lines be readjusted, that the
government pay more for carrying mails
and that freight and passenger rates
should be raised.
Northern New England is good rail
road territory" say the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce. Its industrial
output is large and its people know the
value and use of capital, and can be
depended on to see that investments
in the railroad which serves them yields
a fair return if the necessary readjust-
ments are made and if they are con-
vineed that the road is managed solely
in the interest of the stockholders and
the people of New England, and that
its operations are characterized by eff
eiency and economy.
Contracts which are unduly burden
some-such as the Pullman contract and
the American Express company contract
should be revised; and in view of the
present financial condition of the Bos-
ton & Maine. the community has every
right to ask that this be done and done
at once, before the road is transferred
to new hands.
"We agree with Governor Walsh that
such leases of other roads as looked at
in the light of present conditions, are
incquitable, should be readinsted. This
may prove an important factor, and the
management of the road should use every
effort to bring this about, and the les
sees should be ready to meet the sit
uation with broad spirit
1T is claimed, and generally conceded,
that the amount paid by the govern
ment to the Boston & Maine for carry
ing mails is less than what it costs the
road to carry them, The deficit last
year, before the introduction of the par
eel post, is stated by the road to have
been about 100000. The government
has no right to make the railroads carry
mail matter at less than cost"

J. G. TURNBULL PRESIDENT.
Elected to Head the Vermont Dairy
mems Convention.

Rutland, Jan. 0.--Sessons of the state
COW testing association in the morning
and the Vermont dairvmen's association
and its auxiliary in the afternoon made
a busy day for the hundreds of visitors
in this city attending the 44th annual
convention of the dairymen which closed
last evening with a banquet in the
Shrine temple. Gov. Allen NJ. Fletcher of
Cavendish was here, also State Highway
Commissioner Charles w. Gates of
Franklin and several other prominent
Nermonters.
Late in the afternoon the following
officers were elected by the dairymen. .
President, j. G. Turnbull of Orleans !;
vice president, H. X. Brooks of st. AL
bans; second ce-president, j. B. Can
don of Pittsford; secretary f. H. Bick-
ford of Bradford; treasurer, NJ. A..
Adams of Derby; auditor, #. l.. Davis of
Hartford.
The COW testing association listened
to an address by the president, T. g..
Bronson of East Hardwick, who showed
that interest in the subject is greatly on
the increase among the farmers of this
state.
MIR. Bronson's address came at the
opening of the fourth annual gathering
of the COW testing association in the
Shrine temple at 10 O'Clock He said
that the year 1913 had seen more new
testing associations organized than any
other year. There are three things
which hinder organization: Lack of in
terest on the part of some men whose
assistance is needed; lack of dairies
with sufficient. number of cows to pay
the cost, and lack of young men quail
fed to do the work. Many of our older
testers are obtaining employment with
the government. In small communities
a testing organization may be carried on
by each man paying the cost of the
tester for the actual time spent at the
place.
