place about an hoar and hall
after the event. 1t was then the
witness ascertained, as he says,
this discOntinunity of the clothes
line. Notwithstanding this dis
covery, which was proof conclu-
sive against the theory of an elec-
trocution, for if the clothes line
was in two disconnected sections
the electric current could not pos
sibly have passed from the sec
ton which was in contact with
the electric wire to the one upon
which the sheet was hung, the
witness proceeded to have test
made Of the electric wire for as
certaining it's voltage, and found
the usual voltage of 40.
In his statement regarding this
discontinunity in the clothes line
he is corroborated by the coroner
Of the parish. This official went
to the place, still later in the day,
to investigate. He first ascertain
ed that the clothes line was in two
sections, and made up his mind
that there had been no electrocu-
ton; and then, as he says. pro

certaining whether the woman

that her heart was small and its
walls thin; and it's muscles ''not

in bad condition; she was fabby;

The bill to regulate the sale of
poisonous drugs and narcotics, intro
duced by Representative Holhster of
Bennington, is an important matter.
The improper use of drugs is becoming
national evil and with the laws of
neighboring states more strict than
those of Vermont the natural result
has been to attract the business to this
state. The bill introduced by Mr.. Hol-
lister is somewhat similar to the Mas
sachusetts law which is a reasonable
and proper restraint.

ing:
"Oficials of the government have
been investigating leaks in the state
and treasury departments, from both
of which information has continually
gone to the German embassy.
AT least two persons in the state
department are under suspicion and
at least four connected with the treas

THE government is said to have in
its possession proof that these leaks
have been constant and that important
and valuable information, particular
ly in connection with investigations,
has constantly found its way into the
possession of Count Won Bernstorff
and Captain Boy-Ed.
There have been numerous con-
ferences among cabinet officers with
regard to these leaks for several
weeks. Secretary McAdoo and Sec
retary Lansing have conferred con-
stantly with secret service officials
and every possible effort has been
made to stop this traffic in state Sc
crets.''
