THREE COUNTIES INvOL WE'D
Case Of Florence Lansing of Glens
Falls Who Was Found Near

Troy, July 80 Subsequent develop
ments substantiate the story of Flor
ence Lansing, the thirtcen-year.old
girl daughter of Albert Lansing Of
South Glens Falls, who told the Cast
Teton, Vt. authorities Tuesday that

through a window.
Yesterday morning Selectman John

took the child to her parents at

that they had Investigated the girls
story, finding it to be true. They
stated that after she had been

after making her escape, the officials
accompanied her to the house from
which she said she escaped The
place is occupied by William Morgan,
Il farmer, and woman who said that
she was the owners wife, admitted
kidnapping the child. She denied,
however, that her husband was impli.
Gated, but said that the man who ac.

Mrs. Morgan told the sheriff that
he maiden name was Susan Clifford

had no acquaintance with her. When

STATE MAY BRING
SUIT ON MILK
COMP ANY BOND
Boston Concern Alleged TO Owe
Vermont Farmers $4,000
SITUATION IS COMPLICATED
Farmers Charge that Vermont Cor
poration and Delinquent Com
pany are Closely Related

Montpelier, July estate Treas
urer Deavitt returned tonight from
conference at Essex Junction with
Secretary of State Bailey, co-commis-
sioner of creameries, Attorney-Gener-
al Brown and J. E. Cushman, attorney
for farmers, on the matter of non-pay-
ment of patrons by the Boston Con-
densed Milk company when decision
was reached to bring an action on the
$4,000 bond carried with the New
England Casualty company which il
is believed is sufficient to cover liabil-
tiles, amounts to be determined with
in the next few days. Suit will be
filed in Chittenden or Washington
county. Other proceedings are under
consideration.
The local machinery Of the State
will probably be called on to settle
the Vermont complications of the Bos
ton Condensed Milk company, whose
patrons on the line of the Rutland
railroad company from Burlington TO
Bellows Falls are clamoring for their
money. The matter of bringing suit
against the bonding company which
guaranteed the patrons under
the Vermont law has been placed by
the foreign creamery commissioners,
State Treasurer Edward II. Deavitt of
Montpelier and Secretary of State
Guy w. Bailey of Essex Junction, in
the hands of Attorney-General Brown.
The company was Londed in the New
England Casualty company of Boston
for $4,000. Much correspondence has
passed between the commissioners
and the casualty company in hopes to
straighten out the tangle without sue
cess.
The situation is also complicated
by the failure of the Boston Dairy
company. according TO reports made
by farmers to the commissioners, to
pay their patrons. and the farmers
allege that the Boston Condensed
MIX company and the Boston Dairy
company. a Vermont corporation, or
ganized about the same time that the
license of the Boston Condensed Mill
company was revoked in February,
are related to each other. and have
furnished the commissioners with
letters signed by both concerns.
If it should turn out that the Bos-
ton Condensed Milk company did bus
mess in Vermont after its license
was revoked, it may involve the liza
bility company to some extent on
claims that have arisen between Feb
ruary u and April when the per-
mts issued to foreign creameries
cease automatically and when the
bond would automatically cease. The
claims up to February n amounted to
about $4,000, and reports are that
farmers have owing TO them for milk
from ono concern and the other
about $4,000.
The Boston Dairy company. the
Vermont corporation over which the
commissioners have no control, since
their control extends only to foreign
creameries. WIS chartered February
