FARM FOR FEEBLE-MINDED.
State Commission Makes Appropria-
tion of $500 for Equipment.

The state budget commission, which
was created by the last legislature.
held its first meeting Wednesday at
the state house in Montpelier, and dis
cussed the work which is necessary un-
der the provisions of No. % of the acts
of 1915. With the exception of Red
field Proctor, all of the members of the
commission were in attendance, the
commission being composed of the fol
lowing: Gov. C. w. Gates, State Treas
urer Scott, Auditor H. F. Graham, Pur-
chasing Agent d. t. Hanley, Stanley
c. Wilson, chairman of house commit
tee of ways and means, Senator Cady
of the finance committee of the senate
and Redfeld Proctor, chairman of the
house committee on appropriations
The law went into effect July i, 1915
and the members of the commission
went over the receipts and expenditures
for the six months period ending Jan
], 1916.
1t is the duty of the commission to
consider all appropriations and two spe
cifc matters came to the attention OF
the commission Wednesday. When the
legislature appropriated $4,000 for the
purchase of a farm for the feeble-mind
ed, the statute was so worded that nc
provision was made for equipment. The
farm cost but $4,000 and the commits
sion Wednesday authorized the expen
diture of $4,000 for equipment. The
commission also decided to allow the
industrial school at Vergennes, $4,000
The real work of the commission will
be to decide upon the amounts needed
| by the various departments and insti
| tutions and make recommendations tC
the legislature. The commission is re
quired to meet at least every six
months and may meet more often il
necessary.

FOUND EXHAUSTED
ON THE STREET
Man in Police Station Said He Was
Joseph Walker and Was Walking
from Greenfield to Marlboro.

A man about 50 years of age who
gave his name as Joseph Walker and
said that he had walked from Green
field, Mass, was found on Canal
street Wednesday evening in an ex-
hausted condition and suffering from
cramps. The young men who found
him put him in their team and turned
him over to Police Chief George Will
son.
Walker told the chief that he was
trying to get to Marlboro, where he
had worked before, and believed that
if he could reach that town, he could
find employment.
He was in such condition that DIR.
Henry Tucker was called to relieve
his pain. He told the physician and
chief that he had eaten nothing since
breakfast that day and that when he
got near Brattleboro he was attacked
by cramps and stopped at house and
was given some hot drops, which tenn
porarily relieved his pain.
He was allowed to remain in the po-
lice station Wednesday night and was
provided with such food as he could
| eat yesterday. He was much improved
last evening and was regaining his
strength.

POURED ACID INTO
LITTLE BABY'S MOUTH
Julius Clemens, Four Weeks Old, Dead
from Effect of Poison-Assailant
Unknown to Police.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S-Four-weeks-
old julius Clemens died today from the
effects of quantity of acid forced
down his throat by an unidentified
man while the child was sitting in a
go-cart outside of a candy shop in the
Bronx yesterday.
Mrs. Charles Clemens, the child s
mother, had stepped into the shop,
leaving her four-vear-o daughter,
Leonia to watch julius When the
mother rushed TO the street in response
to Leonia s cries she found the baby s
mouth, chin and neck had been burned
by strong acid. A man did it, said
Leonia. He gave the baby some
thing
Mrs. Clemens later recalled that she
saw sallow- w-skinned man, apparently
about 45 years old walking away from
the go-eart but at the time she was
too excited to carefully note the man s
appearance.
The police have been unable to get
a clue to the man s identity or mo-

an act so fendish
This was the first time the mother

More Business for Vermont Hotels.
Barre Times


The remodeling and enlargement of
one of Rutland IS hotels adds to that
sufficiency of Vermont hotel accommo-
dations demanded by the increasing
summer tourist patronage. No tourist
need avoid Vermont for fear of lack of
clean, adequate hotel accommodations,
for the communities on both the east
and the west side of the state have
first class facilities for entertaining a
large number of people. The manage
ment of the enlarged hotel in Rutland
expects that a much increased tourist
trade will come to Vermont during the
coming summer, and the prediction
seems to be well founded. Vermont is
receiving the benefits from greater pub
licity and also from the curtailment
of European travel through the re-
striction imposed by the war. Our no
tells in Barre, Burlington, Rutland, st
Albans, Bennington, Brattleboro, Wood
stock, st. Johnsbury and other place:
should prepare to meet the prospective
increase.

PROTEST ON MAIL BLOCKADE.
Interference Described in U. S. Note
as ''Vexatiously InQuisitoriaI,

as ''Vexatiously InquisitoriaI. :"
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-The text
of the American protest to Great
Britain against interference with
neutral mails made public last night
reveals that diplomatic and consul
pouches have been treated in a man
ner the United States considers "vexa-
tiously inquisitorial.' The note de
scribes the practises of British officials
as, unwarranted interference and
in urgently requesting a prompt reply
points out that "a strong feeling is
being aroused" in this country by
the loss of valuable letters, while
foreign banks are refusing to cash
American drafts because they have no
assurance that drafts are secure in the
mails.
The United States declares that par
eel post articles are entitled to the
exemptions of neutral trade and denies
the right of Great Britain to take
neutral mail ships into British juris-
diction for purposes Of search and
then submit them to local censorship
regulations. 1t also denies that the
British government has any authority
over neutral sealed mails on ships
which merely touch at British ports
