anese. has been in Brazil for nine
years studying all its Industrial af-
fairs. lie is the representative OF
the two great transportation COM
panies of Japan and has now left
for home by way Of the United States
to put in operation his plan for
establishing a steamship line between
Japan and Brazil. The first steamer
is expected to leave japan next Feb
ruary, carrying 900 emigrants in ad-
dition to its freight cargo. Arrange
ments have been made, it is said,

Father of One of Millionaire Kids
Comes to Montpelier.

| II was expected this morning that the
| four boys who have been in county Jail
under the names OF Kohut, Coyaliski,
Robaceski and Gillispi would be brought
into county court this afternoon on a
charge connected with their actions since
coming to Montpelier. The father of the
Covalski youth arrived this morning,
He told the story of the affair from the
Peabody point of view, namely, that his
son had taken from him 1.-THE father
$3.50, which may account for the money
which the youths had to spend They
were called the millionaire kids" about
Montpelier because of their easy manner
of spending the money.
Their stories did not ring true at all
to the officers, who have pressed them
pretty hard for the last two days, with
the result that they would tell different
story about every time they were
brought before the officers. They were
very willing TO explain where they had
spent their money and would give the
amounts, but when asked to account for
how they were able to spend SO much
more money than they claimed to have
had when they lefsQ1aeahody, they were
unable TO make any accounting. 1t was
found after the police in Peabody were
telephoned TO, that three of the boys
were from that town, while the fourth
was from Lawrence, Mass. When they
were told that the police of that town
claimed they had stolen money in Pea
body it seemed to rufile them somewhat, |
but even then their stories did not break |
down 1t is thought that kohut had |
nothing TO do with the stunt.
One of the boys, who claimed to have |
but $50 when he left Peabody, account
I'd for the expending of sl96 and still
had $40 in his pockets when he was
Thorough searches have been
made of the youths clothing, and al
.hough they claimed to have turned all
he money over TO the officers, Deputy
