tinued it ought to have a proper ap-
preparation to conduct it as a high
school. He stated that he was in IA
vor of both schools being maintained.
Sen. Demerritt asked Mr.. Stewart
If he thought Mr.. Vail would be very
much disappointed if the school re-
Verted to him. Mr.. Stewart replied
that if the school could not have a
proper appropriation and have proper
development that he did not think Mr..
Vail would be displeased if it did re-
vert to him.
Sen. Vilar asked as to the value OF
the property given to the state by
Mr. Vail. and Rep. Stewart replied
that it was in the Grand List at about
$225,000 and that the state had ap-
praised the property at $4,000.
Rev. Frazer Metzgar, the represen-
tative, then addressed the Senate. He
said the whole question was one of
state policy, not whether the Vail
School or the Randolph School should
be abolished. He spoke strongly in
favor of retaining both, and then cs-
tablishing another in the Champlain
Valley.
Sen. Peck of Chittenden spoke ia
vorably of establishing the policy OF
Vermont in such a way as to retain
our boys on the farms. He believed
that there was neither evidence or a
decision to absorb the Randolph
school by the Vail school. He de-
clared it to be his intention to vote
for the resolution which has for its
purpose the definite determination OF
the states policy, and that he would
be glad to vote for the establishment
of third school in either Addison
or Rutland counties.
Mr.. Rowland introduced q joint
resolution in the House this morning

Montpelier, Feb. 15.-This after

fore the committee of state institu-
tons TO hear the charges against the
management of the state school for
predetermined children located at
Brandon. Much testimony was taken
from a number of witnesses. DR.. Rus

and the board of trustees appeared.
After a protracted hearing it was
evident that there was nothing sub
stantial to the charges of cruelty and
neglect, but it was evident that some
disgruntled former employees or work
men were bent on doing some mischief
to DR.. Russell.
The House this afternoon held a
long and extremely busy session. -Four

PACKERS WALTON IN GOLD AS A
HOG DOES IN MlRE
New York, March 29.-Swift & Co.,
Chicago packers, is believed to be
contemplating the cutting of a melon
in the way Of another stock dividend.
It is said that Swift & Co.'S earn
ing for the year will be more than
$50 a share, even better than a year
ago. It is understood that the COM
pany has a surplus of $5O,O0O,0OO
The price Of the stock has advanced
81 to $751; a share in a few days.
If there is a melon it is believed it
will be in the nature of a stock diVi-
dend, which would have the effect of
in future apparently reducing the
enormous dividends of the company,
since there would then be more stock
to divide the profits on.
In event Of the United States en-
gaging in hOstilities the profits of
the Chicago packing houses will ex-
perienCe a large and immediate in
crease, for the government would
need a great quantity Of canned
goods. There is a feeling, though,
that the government would not per-
init the packers to boost prices be-
yOnd reason, to either the public or
the government, simply because the
military welfare of this country put
the packers in a position where they
could wiring more profits by boosting
prices.
The Wilson & Co. stock reached a
new high record yesterday, advanc-
ing Sc share to 1872.
