MORE PEACE HINTS
MADE PUBLIC BY
GERMAN CENSOR
They Report Catholic Centerists as 0p
posed to Won Bethmann- Hollweg
as Chancellor When Peace
Conference Comes.
Conference Comes.

Copenhagen, July l3.--Berlin Lokal
Anzeiger says communication from the
Austro- Hungarian government has been
received at Berlin, declaring that Won
Bethmann Hollweg's continuation in of.
flee as chancellor is important and his
retirement is possibly a fatal mistake.
The newspaper attributes the telegram
to Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister.
Germania, the organ of the Catholic
center of the Reichstag, denies that the
party has demanded the chanceIlor's res
ignation, for which at present there was
no compelling ground, but says the party
considers him not fitted to participate in
peace negotiations. The distinction drawn
indicates that the centerist leaders be-
lieve the chancellor may remain for the
present but should resign before the ac-
tual peace conference.

MISS VARNEY
INDICTED; PLEADS
NOT GUILTY
Was Held Without Bail to Meet the
Charge of Having Murdered Mrs.
Pauline Keyes of Brook
line, Mass.

Dedham, Mass, July l3.-Harriet A
Varney, a hospital attendant, was indict
ed late yesterday for the murder of Mrs
Pauline Keyes at Brookline on June 10
Immediately after the jury reported
Miss Varney was arraigned before Judge
Keating, charged with first degree muir
der. She pleaded not guilty and was
held without bail for trial.
George H. Keyes, husband OF the muir
dered woman, was held in $4,000 bond
as a material witness. Bail was furnished
by Mrs. Pauline Meisenbach, Mrs. Keyes'
mother, and Francis Edwards, both of
Boston.
The body of Mrs. Keyes with bullet
hole in the head and wound in the
right hand was found by neighbors in
the dining room of her apartment an
hour after the shooting. She was seat
ed at a table and revolver lay within
we're of suicide and medical examiner
so reported, but the police did not ac-
cept this theory and conducted a secret
investigation largely upon information
furnished by George H. Keyes.
The mystery grew after the arrest of
Miss Varney when the authorities
learned for the first time that she had
been known for several years as the
wife of Keyes and that she had had
luncheon with him in Boston on the
day of the shooting. Mrs. Keyes is
thought to have been killed about noon
and the police theory was that Miss
Varney went to Brookline and shot her
just before or after the luncheon with
Keyes. Keyes established what was ac-
cepted by the district attorney as com.
plete alibi
A note written by Mrs. Keyes and
found near the body figured prominently |
in the inquiry. 1t referred to domestic |
troubles and indicated that the writer |

that the message was written under |

Burlington, July l3.--"You may put
that as strong as you please: The state

| state commissioner of education.
DIR. Hillegss announced that com.
mittee of three consisting OF Luther B

St Johnsbury and himself had been ap-
| pointed to determine the site of the new
dormitory, get plans and specifications
! for it and report to the state board OF

mendations to the state board of con-
troll. The committee hopes to push mat
ters so that the dormitory may be con-
strueted and ready for use as near the
date of opening of the school as possi-

The report for the period ending June

pointed, the state board would be able
TO readjust the state funds at their dis

sum to one or both of the state agri-

The appointment of this commission
has been delayed, and plans which any
state might carry out for the expendi
ture of its share OF the fund would be
executed at its own risk. All such plans
