you say, and stood before the throne
of God stripped of all but sin, did you
confess the crime you committed
against the people of this state and {
lonely widow and little curly headed
boy at Columbia, when you pardonet
his murderer?
MY third question is:
"'When you stood before the throne
of grace, did you also ask the spirit
: of the murdered man to forgive you
, for the death and for the cruel assault
you made upon his memory when you
assailed him, though dead, in your
pardon of the assassin
I my countrymen, Tennessee has
been Inundated by many spectacles,
but the once proud commonwealth is
now draining the dregs of the cup of
humiliation She beholds an ex-gover-
nor, man who has been honored by
Tennessee, disgracing not Only the
high office he held, but the manhood
of Tennessee. This man is chame-
lion charlatain. He has a contempt
for the intelligence of Tennessee and
with blasphemy upon his lips he
mocks even religion itself. Confess
ing only one of his sins, this man
claims to be converted and then pro-
ceeds to coin his conversion into cash
by exhibiting himself, his frailties and
intirmities and his sins at so much.
"Not satisfied with coming bis con-
version into cash, Ex-Gov. Patterson
is now trying to capitalize his CONVEX
sion into political investment that
will yield dividends of political pre-
ferment.

ciples with some men and Mr. Patter-

the impression that this difference
openly expressed was a betrayal

such men nothing. They owe m. this
that they have held their Office by
virtue Of my support. Patterson's OBJ
ject is plain. By accusing falsely an
other Of treachery he wishes to con
ceal his own crimes of betrayal
Patterson betrayed the democratic
party in Shelby county, when he ran

WOULD REDUCE EXPENSE.
Is Strong Argument Advanced for Work
mems Compensation Act.

At a Senate meeting in the State
House at Montpelier yesterday afternoon
much favorable sentiment was shown for
the workmen's compensation bin now be-
fore the Vermont Legislature, both en-
ployers and employees appearing.
Senator Simonds. who introduced the
bin. said it had three obiects-to prevent
accidents, 10 protect employees and their
families. and to protect employers by
riddiug the state of ambulance chasers
He called attention to one typographical
error. In figuring percentages of wages
for indemnities the maximum wage
would be considered as S25 and the min
imum as So But the limits OF $40 and
IS weekly benefits still hold.
Many changes OF detail were recon-
mended by both employers and employees,
none Of them radical.
The fear that the industrial accident
board might be expensive was expressed.
In answer. the work Of the New York
board was cited and The Outlook was
quoted. telling Of tho deciding Of rs cases
by the board in % minutes % years
W ork for court. Senator Simonds said
that in reducing court expenses Sl500n
TO s25.000 would be saved annually over
and above the expenses Of the board.

BILL WAS ADVANCED
TO SENATE TO-DAY
House Vote Passing the Bill
Was 129 to rs, After One
of the Most Strenuous De-
bates of Session-Eugen-
les Marriage Bill Barely
Saved

After tacking on an amendment post
poning operation for dozen years if the
referendum be opposed to the measure,
the Vermont House to-day, by vote Of
12o to 70, passed the statewide prohibi-
tory law, but only after a most stren-
uous debate starting at II o'clock and
ending at 12:52 this afternoon. As now
constituted and as the bill goes to the
Senate, it provides that if the referen-
dunn is favorable the measure will 20
into effect on May /, 1916, and if not ia
yorable that 1t will &c into effect May /,
1927.
The amendment providing for the post
ponement Of operation was offered by
Mr.. Hapgood Of Peru and was supported,
among Others, by Mr.. Wilson of Chelsea,
Mr.. Stone of vergennes and Mr.. Atwell
of Brandon, who took the position that
the clause Of the original bill providing
for operation Of the measure on May 1,
1917, in spite of an unfayorable refereH-
dun, was unfair TO the people OF Yer
mont. The amendment was adopted by
a rising vote.
Before the bill was passed by the
House by the vote given above, FIVE at
tempts to adjourn were lost, as were one
motion to recommit and a motion TO or
der the bill to lie. While the HapgOod
amendment was pending, another motion
was made to dismiss the bill, and that
failed by vote Of i44 to "a. Another
amendment proposed by Mr.. Wilson was
adopted, it providing for change in the
penalty in the bill.

ZEPPELIN HALTED
A DUTCH STEAMER
Huge Air Craft Brought Into New Role
in Germany's Efforts to Enforce
Blockade Threat.

London. Feb. 49, 1929 p. m.--So far
a. known mp to the present time, not a
single German submarine has been sight
ed during the first "a hours of the Ger
man blockade of the British Isles, but
there are increasing signs that Germany
is bending every effort to make good
her threat. These are found in the sud
den activity OF Zeppelins in the North
sea, where il is presumable they are
watching for food-laden crafts moving
toward England. The halting Of the
Dutch steamer Helena by Zeppelin
hove1ng over her mastheads has given
a new role to the aircraft which 80 far
during the war have done little on land
and sea 10 Justify their maintainance.

Francis. who was a foreman on the
loading docks of the Vermont Marble
company in the town, shot himself in
his room at his boarding house, the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis yargo. shortly
after seven o'clock Mrs. Yargo heard the
revolver shot and the sound Of body
falling in the room upstairs. The thor
oughly frightened woman hurriedly sum
moned help for the sight which met her
eyes when she opened the door OF Fran
els room unnerved her. IL was found
when help arrived that the man was ly
ing on his back ON the floor bleeding pro-
fusely from the mouth, the revolver
which he used still clutched in his right
hand.

in this country for seven years, coming

PERISHED
BY SCORES
Cattle, Horses and Swine
Were Burned in Great
Farm Fire
LARGE HOUSE WAS
ALSO DESTROYED
Loss at Harrison Lombard
Farm May Reach
$4,000

Starting in the barn, where men were
engaged in milking, fire this morning de.
stroyed the buildings on the Lombard
farm at Montpelier junction, together
with most of their contents, including 80
head of cows and calves, four horses, six
hogs, a great quantity Of hay, grain and
ensilage, and all the tools and personal
property that might be used on a first
class farm. The total loss is estimated
between $4,000 and $4,000, and the in
surance is $3.50.
The farm is owned and occupied by
W. Harrison Lombard and is known as
one of the best in Washington county.
The buildings were located not far from
the Central Vermont station at the
Junction. the large barn having been
erected 25 years ago and the house some
years prior to the barn. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lombard have passed practically 40
years of their married life at the farm.
Living on the farm with them We're
their son, Earl Lombard, and his wife;
and Ralph Lathrop and John England,
farm hands, and G. M. Clark an em-
ploye OF the Central Vermont railroad.
Mr.. Lombard, sr., was in Mortified at
the time, engaged in buying stock for
the farm, The son, Earl, and the farm
hands were in the barn milking when the
flames broke out in that structure. The
men made valiant efforts to release the
live stock but after loosing two or three
Of the animals they were forced to va
cate the building by the rush of flames.
Earl Lombard was burned about the
face and hands, although not seriously,
in his persistence in trying to get the
stock out.
An alarm was sent to the fire station
in Montpelier, and the general alarm Of
ten blasts was blown at about Gao, indi-
eating that a fire was raging outside of
the fire district The old hand pump
was brought into commission and taken
to the farm, nearly two miles distant. |
After the pump had been placed in posi- |
tion, with suction end thrust into the
river near by, the mechanism refused 10 |
operate and the equipment had to be
abandoned the riremeu turning to with |
the volunteers and. by the hand bucket
hfiGtuts AINiHE No stay bht IftElfSs VI /
the FIRE This effort was in vain, so far
as the large barn and the main house
were concerned, as the buildings were
structures, and the flames
had long since doomed the barn and had
made great headwsy on the house. The
workers did succeed, however, in saving
/ smaller house and outbuildings located
not q great distance away. Practically
nothing oi the contents Of the main
louse was saved excepting some srti-
lies Of clothing The buildings are
burned completely.
The insurance on the property is d.
ided between the Vermont Mutual and
he Union Mutual Fire Insurance com
,anies Of Montpelier. In the latter, the
,um Of $4,000 was carried on the build
ngs and IN the former 500 on stock,
500 on carriages and S475 on household
urniture.
II j. said that some Of the stock
,urned was being held there for other
,arties in Washington county. II. H.
smith of Barre is reported 20 have been !
ne Of those who lost stock.
