ONLY WILSON'S NAME
:, ON VERMONT BALLOT
Blank Spaces Will Be Left for the
Votes of the Republican and Pro-
gressive Parties

BURLINGTON, April 26.-Secretary
of State Guy w. Bailey announced
last night 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 Nav
10, only one candidate had filed such
an assent, Woodrow Wilson, whose
name alone will be printed
The ballot as printed viii 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 Il name on the presidential bal
lot Up to last night 532 such peti-
tions had been filed for Woodrow Will
son.
There having been some question as
to whether the name of any party
which did not have candidate could
be printed on the ballot and receive a
column, this question was submitted
by Secretary Bailey to Atty Gen. II.
q. Barber for an opinion. Mr.. Bar
ber S opinion was to the effect that !,
Republican and q Progressive column
coulQ De printed. 1nefe Will De No
Prohibitionist or Socialist column ow.
ing to the fact that neither of these
parties east a sufficient number OF
votes at the last election to qualify
as 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 o.
their candidate if his name is no
printed The question was whether tht
name actually had to be written o
not. The attorney general gives it q
his opinion that it is legal to us
stiekers. 1t would not be surprising i
such stickers would be circulatet
around the state primary day.
The attorney genera also ruled tha
constables in towns must post warning
for the primaries the same as for ger
eraI elections.

STATE is BEATEN
IN RUTLAND CASE
Jury Decides That City Is Entitled to
Keep S2,750 Made as Present by
Licensees
Especial to The Reformer. }

* LAM. pun -
The state lost its case today against
the city of Rutland in the suit brought
to recover $2,750 which the liquor Ii
eensees 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 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 this city before. The Ii
censees gave to the city the difference
between the minimum fee and the
amount charged the years previous,
amounting to $3.50. The state at
temped to collect after refusing 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 a
precedent which may be used in other
cities and towns which vote license.

A Rare Event in the British
Courts When Roger
Easement is Tried
IF CONVICTED
MAY BE BEHEADED
Person Found Guilty of This offense
May by Crown Warrant Have the
Penalty Changed from Hanging
Prisoner Now in London.

LONDON, April 26-The fact that Sir
Roger Easement, who was captured while
attempting to land arms from Germany
on the Irish coast has been brought to
England to stand trial and is detained in
military custody, leads to the assumption
that he viii be tried on the charge Of high
treason. This charge has been preferred
less than half dozen times in England in
the last 100 years. The last instance was
during the Boer war, resulting in the con
viction of Arthur Lynch in 1908 Mr..
Lynch, who is now member of the house
Of commons, was sentenced to death, but
the sentence was commuted and a year
later a pardon was granted.
The Express suggests the possibility that
