WANTS GUARDIAN FOR
CHAMBERLAIN CHILD
Probate Court in Townshend Today on
Petition of Wesley Allen, Uncle of
Girl in Question.

A petition of Wesley Allen of
Wardsboro to the probate court of the
Westminster district, Judge Zina H.
Allbee, to have a guardian appointed
for Bertha Chamberlain, Is, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. George n. Chamber
lain, was set for a hearing in Towns
hend this morning. Instead of a hear
ing the morning was devoted to an at.
tempt on the part of those interested
to reach some agreement and at noon
this appeared probable.
The girl is one of the children of
the man who attempted to commit
suicide on the platform of the railroad
station in Brattleboro on the morning
of March IL by drinking a mixture of
Paris green and rat poison. Prompt
action saved his life.
At the time of his act his wife was
about to take another daughter to Bos-
ton to have the child make her home
with Mrs. Chamberlain. She claimed
then that her husband had been ia
miliar with the child. The girl, Ber
tha, has been in the home of Wesley AL
len for some time, Mr.. Allen being hel
uncle. He brought the petition, it il
understood, because of his desire tt
have her kept from her mother, but h,
is perfectly willing that the. father ant
brother and sisters shall see her as of
| ten as desired.
C. S. Chase appears for the petitione
| and f. E. Barber for the other side.

suggestion were made and those in favor
outnumbered those against
A vote by ballot was taken and was so
to 13 in favor. The directors explained
that because of rainy weather the receipts
from Sunday games would help the associa-
tion, which is supported by subscription.

ERIE, Pa, August 4.-With the coming

MISS WELLMAN TO
BE SUPERVISOR
Salary to Be $1,000, but Only 5000
Will Be Paid by State New Dis
trict Includes % Schools - Another
District Created.
Especial to The Reformer.) }
MONTPELIER, August

The state board of education held a
meeting yesterday to consider the matter
of supervision for the schools in Brattle-
boro. 1t was decided to constitute the
'Brattleboro incorporated district and the
schools of Centerville and West Brattle-
boro village 10 schools in alll) a state
supervision district and to appoint Miss
Florence Wellman supervisor at a salary
of 81 200 year Ordinarily this salary
would be paid by the state, but in view of
the fact that the prudential committee of
the Brattleboro district had offered to pay
81 600 of the amount and that this plan
makes necessary the creation of another
supervision district, only $500 of the salary
will come from state funds.
This arrangement is a temporary one,
based on the expectation that before an
other year Brattleboro viii qualify to ''go
it alone as a supervision unit by the addi-
ton of new grades within the district, or
by taking in Centerville or West Brattle-
boro, or by merging the incorporated dis
| trict with the town. If this were done
| the state would be obliged to pay 81 200
toward the superintendent salary and
| half the amount in excess up to a maxi
mum Of $1,000. This Is the ratio at which
other large towns in Vermont are receiv-
| ing funds from the state treasury.
| This new district it was decided, will
make necessary the creation of another
district in this section of the state The
towns of Westminster, Dummerston, Put
ney and that part of Brattleboro not In
cluded IN the Brattleboro district proper
Twill make one district, while Guilford, Yer
non, Marlboro and Halifax will constitute
another No superintendent for the latter
district has yet been secured by the state
board. The additional expense to which
the board is put inclined it to accept the
offer of the Brattlcboro incorporated dis
trict with regard to Miss Wellman's salary
The state board, it is understood, is to
recommend to Brattleboro the early intro
Iduction of a teachers training course, for
!, which no additional facilities are necessary
except room for recitation anl confer
ence. So important does the board con
slider this course that it believes the dis
trlct would be warranted in providing q
room outside the high school building, a.
has been done in other towns. Brattle
boro, by the way, is the only large town il
the state, except st. Adams, that has moi
, yet taken advantage of the teachers train
ing course offered by the state.

LONDON, August 4.-Rear guard fight
ing of the Russians to the northwest of
Warsaw has proved so effective that the
German tide seems to have been held up,
while to the south Field Marshal Won
Mackensen's forces, pushing north from
Lublin, are being badly battered. About
the only Austro-German progress chron-
icled on the vast semi-circular front in the
east is toward Riga in the extreme north
and before Ivangorod.
Warsaw still holds on and the hope that
the Polish capital may yet be saved is be-
coming stronger through Russia, France
and Great Britain
From Warsaw itself comes the optimistic
prediction that if the city is able to en-
dure a week longer, and that despatch
was written four days ago, the evacuation
may be avoided

fled, life in the belcaguered capital is pic
