WOMAN FOUND DEAD.
Mrs. Eta Vance Of Groton Died Under
Peculiar circumstances.

GROTON, August 10. - Mrs. Eta
Vance, 43, was found dead on the bed
i'll her home by her nine -year-old daugh-
ter, under somewhat peculiar circum-
stances.
The exact cause Of death is not known
although State 5 Attorney Norton of
Lyndonville, who was called, expressed
his opinion that death was due to alco-
holism. An empty bottle which had con
tanned sweet spirits of nitre was found
near the body and it was said by neigh
hors that the dead woman had been
drinking when last seen.
An autopsy will be performed by DR..
Stone, the state examiner, and the or
gans sent to the state laboratory at
Burlington, where the contents of the
stomach will be analysed to see if the
spirits of nitre contained a drug that
would cause death.
The woman S husband is employed as
a section hand ON the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad. She leaves a
daughter of nine years and a son of
about IA years.

l should sell as much of my property
as l could and pay my debts. Among
other properties so sold were some of

this matter and was advised that to sell
any property | owned and pay my debts
was neither morally nor legally wrong,
and acting upon this legal advice, |
made the sales to which Commissioner
Williams refers.

HYDE PARK, Aug. 10. - Senator
Carroll S. Page Thursday NIGHT issued
the following statement in reply to the
public letter from Bank Commissioner
Williams relating to the Senator's al
legged evasion of taxes and misleading
advertising in the matter of the La
mobile County Savings Bank and Trust
company, as published in The Rutland
Herald
Ito THE PEOPLE OF VERMONT:
- have read with keen interest the
arraignment of Commissioner Williams
and feel constrained to enter my plea
of not guilty. There is no better way
to answer the charges than by telling
the simple story of the foundation and
growth Of an institution to which /
have devoted the best efforts of my
life - The Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust company.
Organized in 1889.
This institution was organized JAN
2l, 1889. From the beginning the one
intieXible purpose of my mind was that
its funds must all be invested within
the state of Vermont. For 20 wears,
and up to the time that | was elected
| to the United States senate, every
| dollar of it's assets, according to nv
| best knowledge and belief, was loaned
| III Vermont. All opportunities to
| sWcrvc me from this line of action were
denied without hesitation, and | con
tidcntly challenge any living man to
show where one single dollar was ever
loaned outside the state during this pc
Rod of 20 years.
Heavy Deposits.
THAT the people honored me because
Of my devotion to this principle is
| shown by the fact that for the three
and half years, coving the fiscal years
ending June 30, 1905, June 30, 1909
June 30, 1910, and the half year ending
January l, 1911, approximately 81 GOO
lper day was deposited in the bank in
excess of the Withdrawals.
Williams s Approval.
i These phenomenal deposits, coupled
; with my necessary absence from the
state, brought about a condition which
| could not well take care of, and acting
upon what / understood to be the ap
prevail of Commissioner Williams, | con
scented that frst-class out-of state loans
if guaranteed by a strictly strong, high
class Vermont guarantor, might be ac
cepted.
"When this decision was reached thu
advertising all assets invested in
| Vermont was discontinued. | chal
lenge any one TO show where, in any ad
vertising, the words, all in Vermont
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-08-12
Out-of- State Loans.

''But the time arrived in October,
1914, when the board of directors, fol
lowing Mr. Williams S advice, decided
to open the bank s doors to out-of state
loans. | reluctantly yielded to this on
the condition that the bank should
complete quarter Of century with
ont loaning dollar of paper that was
not based either on a Vermont security
or first-class Vermont name.
Touching the charge of avoidance
of taxation very little need be said.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-08-12
Followed Williams's Suggestion.

Later Commissioner Williams thought
this practice of taking paper with a
Vermont guarantor should cease, and
without hesitation or delay, his sugges-
tions were adopted.
For several years, as Mr.. Williams
states, | personally paid out of my own
private pocket from 1000 to $4,000 a
year rather than have in our bank a
dollar of paper that was not predicated
either upon a Vermont security or a
firstclass Vermont name.
- am glad Mr.. Williams has made
clear this fact because it might have
been difficult to make the public be-
lieve that | would make so large a sac
rifce to maintain my personal views
with reference to Out-of state loans
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-08-12
Money Invested in State.

T." Every dollar I own is invested in
Vermont. Never during my life have
| had dollar invested outside Of Yer
mont. Mr.. Fletcher is probably worth
200 times as much as / am. Today the
records will show that l pay on a list
two and three-quarters times that of
Allen NJ. Fletcher, and l have never
yet failed (as the records will show he
has many times) to comply with the
statute which commands that | make
out, swear to and return an inventory.
u am especially grieved that this
matter should have been brought up at
this time, in view of the fact that Com
missioner Williams admits that the
strength and prosperity of this bank
is now at the pinnacle. The editor Of
The Rutland Herald in the same issue
truly says that the interest Of the de
positers has -at-all-times been taken
care of, and Commissioner Williams
admits that ,his criticisms have been
| needed and. that the conditions com
| planned of no longer exist.

HOW TO PICKLE MONEY.

All the money is not being made in war stocks. Farm and Preside, in a recent issue, says:
 Two pickles for every man, wo- man, and child in the United States will be grown in eastern Colorado this season by the C. E. Frink Cannery of Fort Lupton. This company has al- ready contracted 100 carloads of pick les to the Heinze Pickle Company of Pittsburgh. The Heinze Company pays over $80,000 for this contract. They will be shipped in tank cars. An estimate of the number of pickles in this shipment is made as follows
 "One hundred and thirty casks to the car, with 5000 in a cask, makes 650,000 pickles in a car and 65.000,000 pickles in the train load. The total production of the Frink Company this season will be 230 cars, requiring over 400 acres for this crop. Allowing the cannery 10 per cent profit on the $S0,000 shipment to Heinze, or $8,000, this latest and biggest pickle contract ever made in Colorado will bring SIP, 1000 to landowners, pickers, cannery employees, and others who may be connected with filling the order"
