Seek Tramp Carrier
Of lnfantile Paralysis

New York, Sept. a.-Health authorities
in New Jersey, it became known today,
are searching for' a tramp believed to
have been a carrier of infantile paralysis
germs on the theory that his case pro-
vides the best evidence available that the
disease is spread by adult human carriers.
1t is believed the man transmitted the
disease to three children of farmer near
Patrics Corner, n. j., who at the outset
of the plague had shut his family off
from all outside communication.
The case is being studied by United
States health officials, it is said, and a
widespread hunt for the tramp. described

as saying that care will be taken in the

which would lessen in the least the sover-

The most rigid quarantine was estab-
lished by the farmer on his premise. as
soon as he learned of the prevalence Of
infantile paralysis. Relatives living near
by were barred from communication with
the family and when it was necessary for
provisions to come in they were set in
side the yard by means of a hooked pole
Even letters were barred from the house
The tramp came to the place while the
quarantine was on and in spite of the
rigid precautions which had been taken,
was given employment. He slept In the
barn but was permitted to eat his meals
in the house. He remained only few
days Soon after he left three of the

punitive expedition.
The correspondent says tho Mexican
commissioners have taken a more or
less reticent attitude in the conferences
and have taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity for publicity to exploit to the
world the high ideas OF Gen. Carranza"
and to ''refute the accusations of reac-

The article concludes with the state
ment that Gen. Trevino has demonstrat-

tion and predicts speedy withdrawal OF

FOREST PLANTING.

The report Of the State Forester. TO
Gently published. shows that tho inter
est in forest planting is still increasing
in Vermont More people planted trees
IN l9l5 than in any previous year. Al
together over -four million trees have
been planted in the State by about $40
people since the establishment OF the
forestry department. In order TO give a
better idea Of what this number really
means it may be said that the trees are
planted in rows six feet apart, and there
are, therefore, about i,J", miles of such
rows III the State.
At conservative figure Tor lumber 1t
is estimated that these plantations In
forty years will add at least $4,000 to
the assets of the land owners of Ner-
mont Besides this it means much 10

In these days of increasinS public en-

DOPE VICTIMS HELD.

at COUNTY JAIL

United States Commissioner Joseph 7.

torney V. A. Billiard. Deputy Collector
of Customs Fred Whittemore aud Deputy
Marshal Thomas Reeves Thursday held
a hearing in the cases Of Edward and
Florence Flint at the county Jail where
the couple we're locked UP Tuesday night
for having purchased morphine and
cocaine contrary to tho federal law. The
hearing was held at the jail on account
OF the prisoners condition, they being
unable to leave that institution. Both
admitted 60 all that was charged AGAINST
them and they were bound over - the
May term Of United States court, which
will be held on the third Tuesday in MAY
at Windsor.
The couple are the tN" who w.re ar
rested in Winooski. whore they went Ia
purchase dope illegally. after having
worked as many Burlington druggists as
would stand for it. In all. they have
purchased about 900 grains OF morphine
and about go grains Of cocaine. They said
Thursday that they had not used all they
had purchased themselves but had sent
some of 1t to New York. They make no
pretense OF hiding any Of their actions
and candidly admit to having come to
Burlington with the express purpose of
obtaining dope" which they say. is
more easily obtained outside the lare"
cities
No more pitiable cases than of these
two unfortunates has ever been wit messed
in this city, and when they are seen in
their present condition at the Jail one
does not think of the crime they have
committed but of the horrible condition
brought on by the use of the narcotics
which the government is trying to keen
away from those addicted to their use.
Deep sympathy is felt for these two, who

as possible by the attending physician
