A number Of houses have been burned
in Monroe by incendiaries, it is believed.
Over thirty houses in ell have been de-
stroyed. Monroe is terrorized with the
situation. The police, so far, have been
unable to apprehend the frebugs. Lynch
ings are pretty apt to follow the arrest OF
guilty perpetrators.

The result OF MIR. Bryan's trip to Wash

The result OF Mr.. Bryan's trip to Wash
ington in connection with his opposition to
the war policy OF Mr.. Wilson indicates that
Mr.. Bryan has lost prestige. But few public
men have dropped from grace with the speed
that has characterized the downfall OF Mr..
Bryan. Demogogery is generally legal tender
with the public, but it looks like MIR. Bryan
tried to over do the circulation. !

WOMAN CUT HER THROAT.
Miss Theresa Moore of Randolph Saw
Aged Aunt Removed from Her
House and Then Killed Herself.

Miss Theresa Moore of Randolph
committed suicide Thursday afternoon
by cutting her throat with butcher
knife, and when found by neighbor,
Mrs. Fassett, was dead. Miss Moore had
been taking care of an aged aunt, Mrs.
Coreveau, and, being very tired, it had
been thought best for her to have rest,
and a place had been found for Mrs.
Coreveau at the home of Miss
ENERGY Matthews for her to be cared
for while Miss Moore had relief from
the care temporarily. The ambulance
went for Mrs. COreveau at about $50
and took her there, and it is thought
that Miss Moore committed the act
at once after she had seen her aunt
off. The neighbors went in to see how
she was and not finding her about
pushed open door and found her lying
on the floor. They summoned DR.. Russ
low, and the authorities were at once
called.
Miss Moore had been out of her mind
and several years ago attempted suicide
by taking poison, but she was relieved
from this attempt and was thought to
be all right. She was about so years of
age and leaves one sister living in New
Jersey. She was in very comfortable
circumstances financially.

NEW ARTICLES IN WARRANT.
Relate to Paying for Public Use of
Fair Grounds and to Offering Reward
for Crime Detection.

There are IL articles in the warrant
for the annual village meeting, which
will be held in Festival hall Tuesday,
May 2, at O'Clock in the evening.
The first four are routine and the fifth
relates to appropriating money for con.
certs by the First Regiment band. Ar.
ticle 6 is to see if the village will vote
to arrange for laying the dust on car
tain streets and highways and article
is little broader in scope and is to
see if the village will appropriate mon
ey for Laying the dust upon the
streets and highways within the linn.
its Of the village. " Then comes an
article to see about appropriating
money for spraying the trees.
The two articles that bring up real
ly new matters are 10 and II. Article
10 is to see if the village will vote to
pay the Valley Fair association for
such public use as is made of the fair
ground, and, if so, how much During
the summer and fall large numbers of
the village people frequent the grounds
for recreation, and naturally more OF
less damage is done. The fair associa
ton has threatened to close the
grounds to the public, but it is under
stood that the grounds will be kept
open as heretofore if the association
can be assured of enough to make
good the damage that is done.
Article II speaks for itself. 1t il
follows: "To see if the voters will
vote to amend the bylaws of the vii
lagc by inserting as q part of section
the following clause: The commits
sioners may, when they deem it neces
sary, offer reward not to exceed So
for information which will lead to tn,
apprehension and conviction of partie

Burlington Man Rushed Out of House
with His Clothing in Planes.

George Maynard, 20, died in the
Mary Fletcher hospital in Burlington
Sunday afternoon from burns re-
ceived at his home on Conger avenue Sat
urday evening, Considerable mystery at
taches to the manner in which Maynard
was burned. The first that was known OF
anything unusual was when the man
rushed out of the house screaming for
help, his clothing being in flames, A lively
blaze had started in his apartments on the
second floor. Aid was at once given the
man who was Immediately rushed to the
hospital in the police ambulance while the
fire department responded to an alarm,
The theory is that Maynard, who was
alone in the house at the time, was pre-
pairing a lunch and either tipped over a
kerosene lamp or the lamp exploded
Whatever happened, his clothing became
saturated almost instantly with iiaminS
oil The mans body was burned from
head to foot.

STATE LOSES RUTLAND CASE.
Jury Decides That City Is Entitled to
Keep $3.50 Made as Present by Lii
cenSees

The state lost Wednesday against
the city of Rutland in the suit brought
to recover $3.50 which the liquor Ii
censees made as a present to the city
of Rutland. The costs of the case will
be thrown on the state on the ground
that the city treasurer made a tender
of $4,000, the amount paid in liquor
license fees to the state.
The present board of license com.
missioners set the license fees at the
minimum amount, something never
done in Rutland before. The IL
censees gave to the city the difference
between the minimum fee and the
amount charged the years previous,
to $3.50. The state at
temped to collect after refusing Il ten
der of $4,000, the actual amount of
license money paid in to City Treas
urer Davis for the liquor licenses
The case has aroused great interest
and is of Importance as establishing n
precedent which may be used in other
cities and towns which vote license.

WILSON'S NAME ALONE.
Blank Spaces Will Be Left for the
Votes of the Republican and Progress
sive Parties in Vermont.

Secretary of State Bailey announced
Tuesday that at the close of the
time limit for presidential candidates
filing written assent for the printing
of their names on the ballots for the
presidential preferential primaries May
l6, only one candidate had filed such
an assent Woodrow Wilson, whose
name alone will be printed.
The ballot as printed will consist or
blank spaces for the Republican and
National Progressive parties, Presi-
dent Wilson s name appearing in the
Democratic space between the other
two.
Five hundred petitions are required
to get name on the presidential bal
lot. Up to last night 532 such petit
tons had been filed for Woodrow Viii
son.
There having been some question as
to whether the name of any party
which did not have "A candidate could
be printed on the ballot and receive a
column tbs question was submitted
by Secretary Bailey to Atty Gen. II.
G. Barber for an opinion. Mr.. Bar
Der S opini,n was to the effect that IA
Republican and n Progressive column
could be printed. There will be no
Prohbition.st or Socialist column ow-
ing to the fact that neither of these
parties cast a sufficient number OF
votes at the last election to qualify
as q party under the Vermont law.
Attorney General Barber was asked
as to the use of stickers. Under the
law voters may write in the name of
their candidate if his name is not
printed. The question was whether the
name actually had to be written or
not The attorney general gives it as
his opinion that it is legal to use
stickers, 1t would not be surprising If
such stickers would be circulated
around the state on primary day'
The attorney genera also ruled that
constables in towns must post warnings
for the primaries the same as for gen
eral elections.

STATE NEWS NOTES,
Bethel Chrome Tanning Co. Prospers.

Eugene Fisher, manager of the tan
merry at Bethel, states that the company
has on the road 100000 raw hides and
$4,000 hides for sole leather. These are
all horse hides and over 80 per cent of
them come from the battlefelds of Eu-
rope, mostly by the way of Switzerland
Norway and Sweden or England. Many
of these hides are pierced by shrapnel
bullet holes. At present the Bethel tan
merry is capable of turning out 1900
hides per day, and this new order, with
what other orders come to them in the
course of business, will swamp the con
Germ with work if they do not build an
addition.
Now Mr.. Fisher states that he will
build an addition to the tannery, which
will double the present working force
of 100 men and 20 women, if the town
will vote to exempt the addition from
taxation for a period of ten years. If
it will not vote to do this. he states he
will build elsewhere where he can secure
exemption. This exemption which is
asked for will extend only to the new
building erected, The exemption which
was voted on the present tannery in
1911 expires in 1921.
1t is good thing for business in
Bethel that the tannery is prosperous
for with the work in the stonesheds en-
tirely suspended and with lull in the
tanning business it would be very dull
in Bethel. If the Woodbury. company
resume work and throw three to four
hundred men into the sheds this, with
two hundred and fifty men at work in
the tannery, would send wave of pros
perity over Bethel not known since the
shoeshop times, if ever.

May thy green dome appear
TO all from far and near,
For thou hast not q peer
II all Vermont.
Ofttimes the sunlight's glow,
Stratton, fair Stratton,
Lights up thy crest of snow,
Radiance seems to flow
On all the vale below,
Brightness shedding.
Or when the storms arise,
On Stratton, grand StrattOn
And mists thy crest disguise,
Unseen by mortal eyes,
Firm, calm, serene, still lies
Thy noble form.
So may thy influence shine,
Stratton, my Stratton,
On ali that it may find,
Telling to Humankind,
That life, to make it fine,
Must be like thee.
1t must its splendor beam,
Like thee, dear Stratton,
And shed loving stream,
That all may catch a gicam,
And make the whole world seem
a bit more bright.
And when SORROWS draw nigh,
Stratton, Oh. Stratton
May we, without sigh
Look up. like thee, on high,
Strong, like thee, till we die,
Thy precepts live.
