OWE VERMONT
FARMERS BIC
SUM OF $4,000
Boston Condensed Milk Com
pany Want Held Up Ship
ments Renewed--CMn-
ference Held.

Rutland, July ga financial state
mcnt from two of the three trustees of
the Boston Condensed Milk company of
Boston, which was given this afternoon
before meeting of between 30 and 40
farmers from this and Addison counties,
includes n debt Of about 100000 to milk
producers in Now England States and
approximately $4,000 is owed to the farm
crs of Vermont y. y. Turner and c. II
Wilbur of Boston. representing banking
houses together with legal representa-
tive met the local delegation this after
noon ana they came to Vermont i'm the
hope of presenting a proposition which
VIII result in the further shipment Of
milk Although no definite action was
taken Mt tn" meeting It Is not probable
that tn" farmers will again begin ship
mcnts, unless the foreign company place
a $4,000 bond properly endorsed in the
hands of the secretary Of State.
Tho farmers who conduct big diaries
and produce milk in this vicinity have
for the last number of years sold milk
to foreign companies in Boston and New
York. Recently the Boston Condensed
Milk company failed to send the monthly
checks ana the milk supply gradually
dropped until on July 0 the Boston car
was discontinued
Since that time the farmers have
been making butter. selling their milk
70 he New York company or making
use of the fluid at tho farm.
Mr.. Wilbur and Mr.. Turner and their
houses sold something like $500 900
worth of stock in this company to
their clients and when the company
went wrong they offered to take IN
the task of getting the concern to it's
feet if such a thing is possible They
stated to-day that they were serving
without compensation and were even
paying their own railroad fares It
was simply an effort to make good
the stock they had sold their friends
IF the formers start the shipment
Of milk into Boston the bankers will
guarantee the monthly payments and
they also promise to pay the back
bills out of net proceeds. When the
law went into effect calling for the
bond this company formed the Boston
Dairy company of Vermont and thus
escaped the filing of a bond. claim
ing the dairy company was local or
Fanization. Now that the fall has come
the farmers have no way of forcing
a collection of the SG5,OOO that is due
them.
In the statement made by the trus-
tees this afternoon they claim that
the company has assets of $125,ooO in
book accounts and such and they also
claim assets of 100000 in real estate.
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Wilbur left on
the northbound flyer. At meetings
held in Middlebury and Verpennes to-
night the same proposition was ad-
vanced to the farmers of that locality.

I'D.
kindly offices to make such a session
short and Inexpensive, is at hand, and

l note that the request does not

right and proper measure. or any
bin which carries with it the approval
of other political elements of this
state nor am I aware that you have
as. yet presented to the people of the
state through the medium of the

Grafton.
Your suggestion as presented to mo
carries with it only the request that
the Legislature be called together to

at an expense to the state of about
$1,000 per day.
There are several questions other

GRAFTON as bearing upon the question

I assume that in making your re-
quest and in anticipating such con

give your request the cons liberation it

CHURCIMEN DEMAND
SPANKERS RESIGN

Los ANGELES, Dec. 16--Resolu-
tions condemning the chastlsement OF
the young son OF the Rev. Baker p.
Lee, rector of Christ Episcopal
church, by teachers OF the Harvard
military school here. and demanding
that they be discharged, have been
adopted by the vestry and rectors'
guild OF the church. Copies have been
sent TO Bishop Johnson asking that
he move toward securing the teachers
dismissal.
The Lee boy was padded when. the
school authorities said, other means
OF correction had failed. His father
secured the arrest OF three teachers,
including Headmaster Gooden, on
battery charges The affair has en-
gendered much factional strife here.
