DENIES PRESENCE OF SPIES.
Prominent German in Burlington Says
There are None in That City.

Burlington, Dec. 22--The statement
of Frederick Metzler, one of the Germans
under arrest in New York for alleged
conspiracy to blow up the Welland ca
nal, that Paul Koenig, also under arrest
as a Welland canal conspirator, had
agents in Burlington, elected denial
Yesterday from Herr Anton II. Appel
mann, professor of German language and
literature at the University of Ner-
mont.
Prof. Appelmsnn said that statements
that German agents were at work here
were not true, and that such statements
were unjust TO the Germans in the city.
He said that he knew every German in
Burlington, that several of them were
of military age, and that none of them
would think OF engaging in the opera
tions Of spies. Such activities, he said,
would in fact be detrimental to their
cause.
He offered two solutions OF the Metz
Ter charge. Either he intended 10 ex-
tend his activities to Burlington, or in
looking over maps he saw Burlington as
a contracting link between Montreal and
Boston, and seized upon the name.

Before Committing Suicide
by Hanging from a
Beam in Barn
ROYALTON FARMER
HAD NOT BEEN WE'LL
Henry w. Dutton Had Been
a Prominent Citizen
in His Town

Bethel, Dec. 22.--Henry w. Dutton
aged 6S years. a prosperous Royalton
farmer, who lived four miles from this
village on the well-known Middle
branch" automobile route, committed
suicide yesterday by hanging.
His son-in-law, Chester B. Dodge, who
lives nearby, found his lifeless body in
the large barn at about / o'clock. DIR.
o. d. Greene responded to hurry call,
but found that life had been extinct for
two hours or more. His wife, having
missed Mr.. Dutton at dinner time, had
several times been near his body, but
did not see it, as he had covered his
head and half his body with bran sack
after adjusting the moose, before leaping
from beam near the top of the barn.
He was a very prominent citizen and
had held various town Offices. OF late
he had dwelt somewhat on his growing
inability personally to conduct his large
farming business and lately had written
his elder daughter, Mrs. Frank G. Hyde,
of Jericho, proposing that she and her
husband come and take charge of the
farm.
He had suffered from symptoms of in
sanity at intervals, and at one time was
at the Brattleboro retreat for while. |
Besides his wife and the two daughters,
he is survived by sister, Mrs. Charles
H. Kidder of this village. He and his
wife were here on business Monday aft
arnoon.

''In Belgium and between Scissors and

NORWEGIANS OBJECT
TO NINE. SCHWIMMER
Will Have Nothing to Do with Ford
Peace Party as Long as Austrian
Woman is a Member and
They Ask for Her
Expulsion.

London, Dec. 22.-The Norwegian
peace party declines to have anything tc
do with the Ford peace expedition, ac'
cording to dispatches to the London
morning papers, as long as Nine. Rosika
lSchwimmer is connected with the move.
ment Some of the dispatches state that
a demand has been made for her ex-
pusion, declaring that it is impossible
to give the movement a neutral appear.
ance while a Hungarian woman is an ac-
tive member directing operations.
The Cliristiania correspondent of the
Times says that the main impression on
the Norwegian public is that Ford is an
idealist dreamer, sort OF Tolstoy,
whose honesty and usefulness are beyond
a question, while some OF his followers
certainly fail to give that attractive i'm
preston.
A dispatch to the Mail from Chris
tiania states that the managers of the
mission announced yesterday that the
Ford party would start for Stockholm on
Thursday. 1t also became known, ac-
cording to the dispatch, that Nine.
Schwimmer had sent out invitations to
a hundred prominent business men,
bankers and others of Christiania to at
tend receptions and other functions at
the Grand hotel.
"This attempt to stir up semblance
Of interest in the mission met with no
success" the dispatch declares, "the only
thing the people want is to see the man
who is willing to spend S20,000,000 to
end the war, but Ford remains in hiding.
Another reception was given yesterday,
but neither Ford nor Mime. Schwimmer
attended. Fifteen members of Ford's
Office staff are to be sent back |
% the United States to-day.
"The latest scheme TO end the war 1
S said to be that Mr.. Ford is to APP /
