MANY STORM-TOSSED
PEOPLE DISPLEASED
When Fierceness of Gale Prevented Their
Landing at Plymouth, England,
To-day After a Very
Rough Voyage.

Plymouth, England, Feb. 1.-THE
storm tossed passengers on board the
battered Olympic, who had been eagerly
anticipating relief from the miseries of
their voyage from New York when they
reached here, to-day had to go on to
Southampton, as the fiereeness of the
gale prevented landing for either pas
senger or mail for the first time in many
years.
The weather inside the breakwater
was very severe. The tenders spent
two hours trying to get alongside the
steamer and then gave it up, and the
Olympic proceeded on to Southampton.

old Catherine Wheeler, who was mred
to Boston by promises Of employment

st. Johnsbury yesterday and is with her
father in Passumpsic.
The girls case is a pitiable one Her
father and mother separated some years
ago and five children were placed in diff
ferent homes. Catherine, an attractive
and brightappearing girl, was with a
family in Sutton where she worked
hard
Last November she met Donald Me-
Donald of Maiden, Mass, who was on
visit to friends. He urged the girl to
90 to Boston and week ago came for

deserted her in the North station, tax

Naval Tug Potomac Is Re-
ported Gripped in
Ice Floes
WIRELESS STATION
KEEPS UP EFFORT
The Potomac Was Reported
in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence

Curling, Newfoundland, Feb. ll.--The
Cape Ray wireless station, 1870 miles
south of the Bay OF Islands, reported to-
day that repeated efforts yesterday and
last night failed to locate the United
States naval tug Potomac, which has
been gripped in the ice foes of the Gulf
of st Lawrence for six days. 1t was
reported from Bonne bay, 40 miles north,
that steamer was sighted in the ice off
that place yesterday, and as no other
steamer is known to have been in that
vicinity, it is thought the vessel was
the Potomac. The revenue cutter An
droscoggin, which left Portland yester-
day, will probably arrive late to-mor-
row or Friday.

FAvoRS MAYOR WARD.
Barre Voter Thinks He Should Be Given
Another Opportunity.

Mr.. Editor:
In taking advantage of the invitation
to use the columns of The Times, the
writer at the outset desires to disclaim
any particular acquaintance with either
Mayor Ward or 0verseer Shepard, al
though acknowledging "a measure of re-
speet for the latter, dating from the
time he resigned as chief of police OF
the city of Barre, and does not know
the matron at the city farm from the
ex-queen OF the Sandwich island, but
having scanned the columns OF The
Times with the daily expectation of sec
ing a word of commentator from some
of the supporters OF the mayor, in vain,
and not knowing whether due to conf
denee or "cold feet" the writer from
pure love of fair play and with no ami
mostly to any candidate, has determined
to advocate his reelection.
As we view Mr. Wards adfninistra-
ton, we fail to discover wherein it fails
to compare. favorably with any other
since Barre became city If Mr.. Ward
has failed to come up to your expecta-
tions, why not specify Wherein What
has lie failed to do that he could and
should have done or what grave error
has he committed for which he should
be condemnedg As one OF the jury, we
want to be shown.
The mayor has but very little power
to exercise. There has been no great
flourish Of banners, blare OF trumpets
or fireworks in the council chamber. but
he apparently has given as much atten-
tion to the city affairs and accomplished
fully as much as his predecessors, and
should be in position TO give even bet.
ter service, in the light OF experience, il
given the customary endorsement of a
reelection.
The cry of Economy and low taxa
tion" appeals to the most of US to be
sure, and we are Liable to be stampeded
by III we hold up both hands in favor
and shout huzzas; but the cold fact re-
mains, that Barre is not an economical
city. and, when we cool off little and
commune with ourselves, we are forced
to acknowledge that we are not in IA
vor of it and never have been, and it
will continue to be as elusive as the
sound Of the tree toad which the Irish
man tried to locate upon his first trip
TO the country with a hunting and fish
ing party. In the early evening of his
first day in camp he was greatly excit-
ed by the noise emanating from tree
toads. and, as the rest OF the party pro-
fessed ignorance. he started out TO run
ii down. After running hither and
thither in all directions, until thorough
ly tired out. he returned to camp =and
said nothing until questioned by one
of the party as to whether he found
out what it was, when he replied, Yes,
and upon further questioning as to what
it could be, he said, it was nothing but
a d- noise.
We have also wondered why another
supplementary report has not APP
peared containing the possible further
developments" limited at in The Times
upon the presentation OF the last one.

of their findings for the year 1918. IT
is as follows:
I'VE have carefully examined the books
and accounts of the city clerk, the treas
urer, water department, school commits.
sioners, school treasurer, sinking fund
and trustee of cemetery trust funds and
find them correctly balanced and all ex-
penditmes properly vouched for.
''In the poor department the accounts
and vouchers were rather unsatisfactory;
merchants had been overpaid, or rather
had accepted payment for the same bill
twice, and were, so far as we know, still
in possession of the money.
"We find that the distribution of the
expenditures in the overseer's report is a
little short OF the total expended. On
the other hand, the total of moneys re-
funded to the city treasurer is given as
5000, whereas $53.97 is the amount re.
ceived to date.

GERS. Brennan subpGnacd numbers OF
men who testified to seeing him at the
Hole in the-Wall lunch between and s
o'clock, when the arrest is alleged to
have been made. Among the defend
ants witnesses was Fred Church. the
proprietor. Brennan set up as his de
tense a declaration that officers in Barre
have pursued him relentlesslv for some

bring out every scintilla OF evidence that
would tend to incriminate the man,

vigorous. He made a striking appear
ance.
