GIVES INSTITUTION SLIP.
Perlie LaFogg, Sentenced from Brat
tleboro for Stealing Heifer, Faced
Further Detention.

Perlie LaFogg, sentenced Sept. |, 1915,
by Judge Frank +. Barber of the Brattle-
boro municipal court to serve not less
than five months nor more than six
months in the house OF correction at Rut
land and to pay a fine OF 500, has left
the institution. His tine would have been
up Jan. 3, but LaFo. knew that Massa-
chusetts officers WUdis -Sfrest him at the
expiration of his time in the Rutland
house of correction and he cut short his
stay there, it is supposed in order to avoid
further detention in another Jail.
LaFogg was arrested by Sheriff {. f..
Mann and Deputy Sheriff +. l.. Wellman
with Harry Collins for the larceny of "A
red heifer in Marlboro, the property of
Ernest Wade. The heifer was stolen Aug.
Is and sold to Carl Schorlng, Brattle-
boro butcher. The sheriff and his deputy
had been working in conjunction with
Massachusetts officers trying to break up
cattle stealing when they made the ar
rests.
The men admitted the theft of the red
heifer from Wade and also admitted the
thefts in July, 1915, of four heifers from
II. d. Root of Colrain, three OF which
were disposed of to Schorling and one to
Henry G. Clark, they said
MassacnuSelts OlllcelS were Ill Dfdllle-
boro Tuesday seeking information of Capt

be at liberty legally aid the attorney
wrote to Rutland that night for nforma
ton on that subject. He received the re-
ply that LaFogg had just been missed and
! that his time would have been up Jan. .
Collins, who was sentenced to pay a fine
of 500, served short time, when his diff
culties were adjusted.
LaFogg, who had been suffering with
rheumatism, was given outside work
about a month ago and had been in tn,
habit of leaving the guard room about
o'clock each night to lock up the hen house
and look after an oil stove which has beer
left burning in the pump room, which con
tains a dynamo.
Tuesday night about o'clock the pris
oner left the office and was not accompa
MED by any guard A little later neithc
Guards Waterman nor Stringham had seer

He was nowhere to be found and it wa

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Wilson s message which he
read to congress Tuesday is brief and
to the point. Other presidents of the
past 80 years have used thousands of
words in addressing the national legis
lators, but Mr.. Wilson speaks his lit
tie piece each time in a few hundred,
or at the most two or three thousand
words. His latest utterancc concerns
chiefly legislation which he considers
necessary to supplement the Adamson
law, hurriedly enacted to avert a threat
ening crisis.
He stands by the eighthour day for
men engaged in interstate railroad
transportation, but he advises two pro-
visions that may not add to his popu-
larity. He would forbid any sudden
strike, though, when the late threat was
made, his policy was quite the contrary,
gave the President power to draft into
the military service these same men.
The two recommendations look to n
recognition of the imperative need of
unobstructed railroad communication
and they are sound, even if they happen
to come after the campaign is over.
They would hardly have been expected
earlier.
The President feels strongly that the
interstate commission should be en-
larged and its powers expanded, and
there is a growing sentiment favorable
to this in the country. One of the
guesses for the future is that the fed
eral government will control the roads
outright before long. The drift is all
that way.

PREMIER AsoUITH RESIGNS.
David Lloyd George Now Forming a
New Cabinet, Having Accepted tho
Premiership.

The reconstruction of a new cabinet
is now under way in Great Britain.
On Tuesday night the resignation of
Herbert IL, Asquith, who has held the
premiership through eight stormy years
of domestic and foreign trouble, re-
signed. King George summoned A.
Bonar Law, minister of the colonies, to
Buckingham palace, and offered him the
prime minister commission. He de-
clined to take up the difficult task and
it was later accepted by David Lloyd
George, former war secretary. 1t is
expected that the latter will RECOGNIZES
the Unionsts and the Labor party in
making his appointments. The change
is regarded in a way as n victory for
the Tory element in Great Britain, al
though Lloyd George has not been iden'
tilted with that element. 1t is be-
| lieVed that the change will mean q
more vigorous prosecution of the war
than ever before

In recognition of the approach of the

to the ability of those who have had the

Congress will be rushed for time in
which to transact the important busi-
ness of the session and the administra-
tion will be commended in proposing
a suspension of the customary recess
for the Christmas holidays. First of
all measures in Importance, as far as
the general interest of the public is
concerned, is the eight hour law and its
relation to the Adamson act. Doubtless
the supreme court will strain a point
in order that the constitutiOnality of
that act may be determined at once,
Whatever the decision, there will be
need of further legislation on the sub
ject in order to make the act complete
In addition, there will be the regular
appropriation bills, which always oc
cupy much time before the logrolling is
finished to suit the large number of in
terests involved. 1t will be wonder
if there are not foreign complications
which will make delay and difficulty
Congress has enough to do of an urgen,
nature and it is of more Importance
to have the work cleaned up than fol-
few hundred men to have good time
during the holidays. Let them stick t.
their work.
