BURLINGTON THOUGHT
TO BE DESTINATION
OF SUSPECTED THIEF

Rutland. April 1.-TWO rolls of money
each containing about $S and a diamond
ring valued at $40 are missing from the
home of Sidney a. Baker of III Park
street and since ten o'clock this morn
ing when he came to the city to deliver
some cut flowers, Christopher Burton,
formerly of Chicago, has been among the
missing One sum Of money belonged to
Mrs Anna Parker, who is employed as
a domestic at the Baker home and the
rest of the money and the diamond ring
were owned by Mr.. Baker, an engineer
on the Rutland railroad, and owner and
manager OF the Baker Seed house. The
theft has been reported to the police
but UP to a late hour tonight they had
been unsuccessful in getting trace of the
man.
This morning Burton went to the city
to deliver a box of cut flowers and he
failed to return. The flowers were de-
livered later before the man made his
hurried exit from the city.
At noon MIR. Baker returned home
from his run. which takes him to Troy,
N. Y, and he noticed that his bureau
drawer had been ransacked. The
money. all in bills. was gone as was
the diamond ring.
Word of the robbery soon reached
the kitchen and Mrs. Parker remem-
bered that she had a considerable sum
of money in valise which was on the
| floor of closet just off her room She
went to the closet and found the valise
opened and the money gone.
| Fred Fitzgerald, who is employed at
the greenhouse, went yesterday after
noon to Burlington. whore he will make
a search for the man. Mr.. Burton said
he was 80 years old. He is about five
feet ten inches tall weighs about 14O
pounds and has scar on his nose

FARM MACHINERY
MEN ON VERGE OF
ILLEGAL PRACTICES

Washington, April 25.-Some of the
practices of nation wide associations Of
manufacturers and dealers of farm ma
chinery are characterized as being of
doubtful legality. tending to limit
competition and increase prices while
"a large part of them are held to be
proper for protection of legitimate in
terests, in a report by the old bureau
of corporations submitted to-day to
President Wilson. The report was
drawn before the bureau was merged
with the new federal trade commission.
Almost every important manufacturer
of farm machinery. the report says, is
a member of the National Implement
and Vehicle association, while the deal
ers have organized the National Fed
Grafton of Implement and Vehicle
Dealers associations. which is COM
posed Of numerous State and interstate
associations. The two organizations
are national in scope and work in close
cooperation.
Efforas of manufacturers to fix whole
| sale prices, control of retail prices, con-
| centrated control of patents, opposition OF
dealers to direct transactions between
| manufacturers and consumers, as well as
efforts to reduce costs of manufacture
and distribution. are reviewed at some
length. The fight of organized dealers
against competition of mail orders houses
the report says, has been carried to the
extent of efforts to have postal rates re-
vised to increase charges on packages
and to curtai advertising facilities of mai
order houses by persuadnf manufacture
turers who sell through dealers not tC
advertise in farm papers which carry
| mail order advertisements.

A message to one OF. the young men,
stating that his mother was seriously
i'll, and that 1t would be imperative

rangements to visit the dam and
power plant when Mr.. Lynch received
the sad news OF the serious illness OF
his mother, and requesting his imme-
date return to st. Louis. The sad
news which has caused them to aban-
don the trip was felt very keenly by
both young men. They had Just time
to catch the boat bound for st. Louis
and did not get a chance to make
their trip over the dam.
The mixers are both genial young
men, 20 to 20 years old. They de-
cided to see IL they could make the
long trip from st. Louis to Harlem.
and were meeting with splendid pro
