DETECTIVE. WOOD

OFFICE VOUCHERS
Amusement Derived from DIFF.
ficulties Standing in Way
of Preparing State
ment.

Montpelier, MAY al. H. Wood of the
Wood Morgan detective agency of Bos-
ton, is making an examination Of the
vouchers in the State auditors office inso-
far as they relate to the detective part OF
the administration of justice. which Is at
the present time under fire. This was the
report at the State House to-day 1t is
also said that Mr.. Wood is making the
examination in view of the forthcoming
statement from the office Of Attorney
General r. f. Brown on the same subject
Every scrap of paper relating to detective
work is being gone over.
The fact that the detective is going
. over the detective records to see where
the money went is the cause of consider
able amusement, as some of the States
attorneys say the attorney general or
dered no small part Of the work done
and they are therefore not able to com
ply with his request for statement of
details which he needs to make out the
record, and which, it is held should
have been filed with him before the bills
We're approved.
1t transpires that in one case detec-
tive worked seven weeks on a case in
which the RESPONDENT was willing to
plead guilty, and that attention of the
detective was early called To the fact
that additional evidence was not neccs-
sary but kept on working, saving that
he was obeying orders from the DEPART
ment
1t is claimed that between 5000 AMI
5000 is also due various detectives in
addition to bills already rendered.

Vermont must not forget that religious
faith is the strongest and only permanent
basis of honest character and patriotic
devotion. 1t is the church which Is the
bulwark Of temperance and purity. II Is
the church which fosters thrift and indus
try. 1t Is the church which creates and
preserves in influence the strongest sane
tions of all good morals and right conduct
Remove the churches from any town. and
In five years no man would care to live
there Loss of faith means loss of integ-
rity, without which business prosperity Is
Insecure. 1t is not our laws and our prs-
ons which preserve respect for law; It Is
truth of God and the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
In one OF the counties Of Vermont
are two hamlets, alike in situation and
natural advantages, situated on either
side of mountain. From one Of them
there has not gone case to the county

other village there has gone case after

Of foul and vllainous crimes And the
cause Of the difiorence2 In the first
hamlet there has been for years a little
two window Church--two windows on a

NO man can believe that these are not

VERMONT NOTES.
CastletOn Normal school Has Large
Registration for Next Year.

Present indications are that the Castle
ton Normal school will have one of the
largest entering classes in its history
next September. Already 80 girls have
registered and the dormitory is almost
filled. Last fall the entering class num-
hered a few more than 50. but at the
corresponding time last year not half as
many had registered as at the present
time. Those registered include girls from
Essex Junction. Cambridge, East Rye
gate. MONTGOMERY Center, lrasburg, Mont
peier Wilder, Calais St Adams, Mill
ton, Barre. Bratteboro. East Dover,
Roston, Mass, Proctorsvile, Middletown
Springs, Shoreham. Proctor. Poultney,
Brandon, Rupert, Salisbury, West Pawlet
and Fair Haven.
The above list shows how thoroughly
the school is a State institution. or the
total number registered in the entering
class. "a are from outside Rutland county
and all but one live so far away from
the school that they must live in the
dormitory.
This registration and the present MEM
hership would seem to effectuallY explode
the theory that has sometimes been ad-
vanced that the membership of the school
is Drawn largely from nearby towns.
Such a registration and membership al
so would seem to indicate that there is
a practical demand for the continuance
of the present normal schools.
