ing Trade and Fixing Prices.

New York, July 6.-Indictments were
dismissed yesterday by Federal Judge
Grubb in the cases of William X Leckie
of Welch, w. Va, and Robert c. Pat
terson of Dayton, o., on trial with a
number of other semi -bituminous coal
operators on a charge of restraining
trade and fixing prices. The indictment
was also dismissed in the case Of S. J..
Patterson Proehontas company and the
Weyanoke Coal & Coke company, in
which Patterson is interested.
Judge Gribb, in dsmissing the indict-
ments, said he believed the government
should do more than show that sales
agents of the defendants and their com
panies committed certain acts.
1T has not been shown that these men
or their companies authorized the agents
to act for them in any alleged con
spiracy," he said.

DEWEY MEMORIAL
BEING CUT IN BARRE
Mausoleum Is to Be Erected in Airing
ton, Va, National Cemetery and Is
Similar to General Nelson
A, Miles.

Barre granite is fittingly specified as
| the material for a memorial to one of
Washington county's most illustrious
sons. The mausoleum to be erected in
the Arlington, Va, National cemetery to
the memory of Admiral George Dewey is
being cut at the plant of Littlejohn, Cd
gers & Milne for Mrs. George Dewey,
who is taking personal charge of ar
rangements for the memorial. In many
respects the finished monument will be
similar to the mausoleum erected to the
memory of General Nelson A. Miles, al
though its lines will be more generous
and the memorial itself will be larger.
Barre granite. instead of Maine granite,
used in the Miles mausoleum, is specified
by Mrs. George Dewey, who expressed
disapproval of the material used in the
famous generals monument, although
she was impressed by the design.
The general sizes of the Dewey mauso-
leum are u feet. inches, by Is feet,
with a height of IL feet. II is after the
Ionic order, with Ionic pilasters on the
four corners, fiuted and highly carved.

NO NEW RESTRICTIONS
HAVE BEEN IMPOSED
BECAUSE OF POLIO
State Board OF Health Conferred with
Local Boards OF Two Counties at
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sugges-
tions Made.

A general scheme OF precautions 10 be
taken against the spread of iniantile
paralysis was outlined at meeting OF
Washington and Orange county health
officers at the capital yesterday, when
members OF the state board OF health
were present TO discuss the situation
with those who are most familiar with
the epidemic in this section. DIR. j. w.
Stewart, the local health officer, DIR. 4. II.
Bailey of Barre Town and DIR. w. o.
Hutchinson of Washington were among
those who attended. OF the state board,
Drs. Caverly, Dalton and Kidder were
present, along with DIR. Taylor of the
Rockefeller institute.
Thus far Barre is free from poliomye-
litis, according TO the statement made
to-day by DIR. j. w. Stewart, and for the
present no more restrictions with refer
enee to public gatherings are to be made.
While no hard and fast rules have been
made, il is the feeling of the health Off
Ger and other members of the board that
Barre people should be advised to stay
away from Montpelier and South Barre
unless urgent business calls them there.
BY the same sign people living in Mont
pelier and in South Barre are requested
to stay away from Barre City If their
business here is not urgent. Co-opera-
tion of this sort, it is argued, will solve
one OF the problems confronting the
board Just now. DR.. Stewart stated to-
day that the Montpelier and Barre Town
authorities seem to be enforcing an eff
cient quarantine and that the care used
in those places will tend to keep the
plague out of Barre.
For the present there Is to be no ban
on moving pictures, dances and other
public entertainments, although the re-
strictions which apply to children under
l6, as announced last week, are to remain
in force.
Results of a post mortem examination
made over the body of the little Bartlett
boy, who died in South Barre yesterday,
have not been announced. DR. Taylor,
assisted by DR.. Bailey and DR.. Stewart,
conducted the autopsy and some OF the
organs we're taken to Burlington for fur
her examination. The child died un- |
Thursday forenoon and soon |
ifterward the house was put under quar-
lntine. A private funeral service for the |
oaby is to be held tomorrow afternoon.

ONE CHANGE AT GODDARD.
Leslie E. Kinney Resigns to Enter War
Sevice-Succeeded BY c. E. Farley.

| Trustees of Goddard seminary are CON
tinuing their policy of retaining good
teachers, fact which is emphasized by
conditions which are to obtain when the
school reopens in the fall with only one
change in the faculty. Leslie j.. Kinney,
who recently completed his second year
at the seminary, plans to enlist in an
officers training camp. Earl F. Farley
of st. Lawrence university II, is to
take his place in the scientific depart
ment Mr.. Farley specialized in the
work during his college course and comes
to Goddard highly recommended. At st.
Lawrence Be was a varsity man in foot
ball and baseball for four years, cap
tanned the baseball team last spring and
was first-string pitcher. On the foot
ball team he played at guard and tackle
and was captain of his class basketball
team last year. Also he has worked con-
sideraby in track and hockey. He will
assist Coach Charles Hoernle in football
and baseball and is to coach the hockey
and track teams.
The unusual growth of Goddard has
made necessary the employment of an
other teacher. The executive committee
at the July meeting voted to employ an
extra teacher of English for next year,
the new teacher to have charge of the
physical culture work among the girls.
The Foster prize scholarship, which is
granted to a member of the senior class
in the college preparatory course if the |
standing for the year averages 95 per |
cent. was awarded Everett Wallis of |
Waitsfeld. The University of Vermont |
were won by Alice Jennings |
of Orwell and Everett Wallis. The |
Laura Olds>Tuttle prize, which is award
ed the student in the senior or Junior
classes who shows the greatest proficien
cy in the studies of the year, was award
ed Miss Rachel Hollister of Barre,
member of the junior class. This is the
income OF $500, which is to be invested in
books.

Growing a Character.

Character is what you are Repu-
tation is what folks think you are.
Sometimes they are so well balanced
that you can't tell one from the 9th
er, says Grit But more often the one
is a libel on the other. Folks exalt
virtues that do not exist and condemn
follies that are purely subjective and
personal Much depends on who re-
ports you. Friends are always chart
table and interpret our lives to best ad-
vantage Enemies can see no good in
US and report as they see. So repu-
tation may f1atter or condemn. Not
so with character. This is something
beyond external observation. 1t is the
life itself as lived amidst its motives
and obstacles. Few people can know
its real value, for even you do not al
ways know just what yOu are capable
of being until the emergency demands
display your worth. What you are in
the face of severe testing is character.

University functions

What is the matter with our univer-
stiles is that all the students are
schOolbOys. whereas it is of the very
essence of university education that
they should be men, writes George
Bernard Shaw. The function of a uni
versity is not to teach things that can
now be taught as well or better by
university extension lecturers or by
private tutors or modern correspond
ence classes with gramophones. We
go TO them TO be socialized; to acquire
the hall mark of communal training /;
to become citizens of the world in
stead Of inmates of the enlarged rab-
bit hutches we call homes; to learn
manners and become interchangeable
ladies and gentlemen. The social pres
sure which effects these changes
should be that of persons who have
faced the full responsibilities of adults
as working members of the general
community, not that of barbarous rab-
bic Of half emancipated schoolboys and
unemancipatable pedants.
