LUCKY ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Karl Forsell Hung on Edge of House for
Some Minutes.

Karl Forsell, one OF the best known
musicians in the state and for many
years the leading eornet player in the
Montpelier Military band, escaped vic.
lent death by the narrowest OF margins
yesterday afternoon while working on
his house which is situated on Corse
street. Mr.. Forsell ascended to the roof
of the house to clear the snow OFF and
TO prevent his falling he tied one end
of a rope around his waist and the other
end was fastened to the chimney.
While he was laboring with a shovel,
the rope broke suddenly and .he started
TO fall TO the edge. For some unknown
reason he failed TO 90 over the caves and
hung there unable TO move because he
feared that his hold would give away
and allow him to drop thirty feet to
the ground and possibly roll over the
l00-foot precipice which ends on Elm
street. He called for help for several
minutes before Mrs Forsell heard the
cries and rushed to his assistance. She
finally succeeded in throwing another
rope to him and he eventually crawled
toward the ridge of the roof and TO
safety. The house is built almost at
the edge of a big ledge and had he
slipped off the roof, it is almost certain
that he would have fallen the entire 1870
feet.

HAVE BEEN SAVED
French, in Particular, Are
Praised for Their Skill in
Withdrawal in an Orderly
Manner - Turks Claim
Advantage Over the Brit
ish in Mesopotamia

The BuIgarians are now definitely de-
clared to have stopped pursuit of the
Anglo French forces at the Greek border
An official statement at Athens denies
the reports that Bulgarian troops have
entrenched on Greek soil. Newspapers in
Athens express the belief that neither
the Bulgarian nor the German troops
will cross the Greek frontier.
Accounts of the allied retirement con-
tinue to come from Saloniki and Athens,
describing it as orderly and well con-
Quoted. The skill of the French in eff
fecting the withdrawal is being especial
ly praised. Virtually all the allies war
material was saved, it is declared.
The Turkish war Office declares the
advantage is still with the sultan's
troops in the Mesopotamian fighting, as
they have heen able to approach closely
to the main British position and cut
down the activity of the British artillery
by violent counter fire of Turkish guns.
In the Dardanelles Constantinople re-
ports continued artillery operations, with
sporadic mine and bomb fighting.

NOTE OF PROTEST

United States Government Insists that
French Action Was Without Le-
gal Justification and Asks
for Release of Six Ger
mans and Austrians.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. l5.-The

entation TO the French foreign Office a
note vigorously protesting against the
removal by the French cruiser Decartes
OF six Germans and Austrians from the
American steamships Carolina, Coamo

constitutes fragrant violation Of Amer

Lansing with the full approval Of Presi-
dent Wilson. IL also is understood 30

view emphatically and cites precedents

brink. a German, who was removed from
The American ship Windsor by the
French cruiser Conde in November Of
last year, and released after representa-
tions BY the United States.

To Satisfaction Of Jury in
Case of State VS.. Mrs.
Mary John
CONVICTION REACHED
IN BARRE sURT
Respo,.ent Said Man Stole
Vinegar, Thinking Perhaps
Twas Something Else

A case fraught with several unusual
4 features was concluded in city court
early this afternoon when the jury which
heard the evidence offered in the case of
! State VS.. Mrs. Mary John, charged with
selling liquor illegally, returned yer-
dict Of guilty through its foreman,
George |. Beckley. Attorney r. A. Hoar
moved for an arrest of Judgment in the
interests of his client and the case was
continued until o'clock for the passing
of sentence.
An obscure item in yesterdays Times
was nearly lifted to the dignity Of real
evidence at the beginning of the hearing
when counsel for the defense, addressing
the jury, asked that the newspaper item,
which he alleged to be of nature cal
culated to prejudice jury, be admitted
as an exhibit. Magistrate H. w. Scott
ruled it out, however, and the case pro-
ceeded.
The state was represented by Grand
Juror William Wishart and the first
witness, Harold Edison, testified to hav-
ing purchased whiskey of Mrs. John at
her home on Prospect street. Mr.. Hoar's
determined cross.examination did not
shake the witness. Arthur st. John, the
second to testify, told of purchasing beer
of Mrs. John. George Stone, No 3 on
the witness slate, swore that he went to
Mrs. Johns house with rabbits and
chickens for sale He had to submit to
being treated to liquor before he could
leave the house.
For the defense the respondent, Mrs.
John, was the only witness. She testi-
fed to the alleged falsity of Edson's
statements and contributed story of
his visit altogether at variance with the
first witness version of several visits.
Mrs. John told the jury that Edison had
once and only once in her
house. On the occasion referred to, she
went on, the witness, Edison, stole a
bottle Of vinegar and drained its con-
tents, evidently before he realized that
he had made a mortifying mistake. Mrs.
John was briefly cross-examined by the
grand juror.
The jury had been out about an hour
when the announcement was made that
1 verdict had been reached. The f~low-
ing jurors served; George /. Beckley,

2,221 HAPPY People
DIVIDED ABOUT $4,000
Christmas Saving Club Checks Were Dis
tributed To-day by the Barre Saw
ings Bank & Trust Co.
for Third Time.

Depositors numbering 2,22l had their
hearts gladdened this morning when the
mail man came, for it was the greycoat's
first trip since the Barre Savings Bank &
Trust Co. made its annual distribution
of Christmas savings club checks. This
year the money distributed approximates
$4,000. Depositors were divided into
nine classes and the first deposits We're
made just before the Christmas season
of l9l4. The smallest account to be
carried was worth check for $l2.84 to
the depositor while the largest savings
check was Sl0I.
Despite the unsettled industrial condi-
tions of last spring, conditions which
initiated against the steady depositing
OF money in the club accounts, the bank
officers feel highly encouraged over the
achievement OF the 1915 club. The idea
had its inception, locally, with the Barre
Savings bank three years ago and with
the first deposit in the new club, which
is already opened, the bank will enter
upon its fourth year in the Christmas
savings business.

Says Gompers
ASKS REPRESENTATION
ON COMMISSION
President Wilson Promised
to Consider Matter
Fully

Washington, d. c., Dec. l5.-Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, to-day told Pres.
Wilson that organized labor is ready to
give its support to the defense of the
nation and should be allowed a voice in
making the preparations.
Pres. Gompers asked Pres. Wilson to
appoint representative of labor to the
commission that he may name to confer
with army and navy officers on the mo-
bilization of the nations resources.
Since the war started, said Gompers, the
belligerent nations had included labor
representatives in every important activ-
ity.
Pres. Wilson said he would consider
the question carefully.

MAY GET NEW THEATRE.
Montpelier Hopeful with Filing of In
corporation Papers.

Tangible evidence that definite plans
are underway for the erection of thea.
tire in Montpelier was obtained to-day
with the filing OF articles of association
with the secretary of state by The Play
house. Inc, with Sara b. Leland. John f
Leland and Erwin NJ Harvey signers of
the incorporation papers. The capital
stock is given as $4,000 divided into 200
shares of 800 each. The articles assert
that ii is the intention of the incorpora-
tors to own, operate, lease and maintain
a theatre, opera house, moving picture
house, etc.
Mrs. Leland declined to-day, when
asked for an outline of the plans Of the
company, to discuss the matter, but as
serted that statement would be forth
coming within few days.
The first intimation that the Lelands
We're planning to build theatre came
early in the summer when they appeared
to protest against a highway being laid
out from State street TO Court street be-
tween the Leland and Willard properties.
At that time, when counsel for Mr.. Le-
land made the statement that plans for
the erection OF a playhouse were being
made, not much credenee was placed in
the assertion. Since that time the Mont
pelier Board Of Trade has held several
meetings and Claremont, n. H., parties
were interested in a scheme TO promote
a stock company. Several Investigations
were made as TO possible sites and the
matter is still in the hands Of special
committee for investigation.
