Measure Goes Through Senate on a
Strict Party Vote.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The ad-
ministration revenue bill, designed to
raise $35O,000,000 through special taxes
and bond issues was passed by the SEN

Immediately after the vote which

the legislative situation for considcra-
ton of the armed neutrality bill

| Then motion to adjourn until 12.5s
a. m. was carried by vote of so tC
q. There were protests in the Repub
lican ranks against the tactics of then
leaders and Senators Borah and Fal
told their colleagues they were tired OF
seeing time wasted and wanted the sen
ate to get down to business.

UNION BUILDING
CHANGES OWNERSHIP
Bought by Amedeo and A1vira DeAnge-
hs-Evidence of Successful Bust
ness by Shoe Repairer.

The Union building property on
Main street, which was bought last
July by Major Frederick w. Childs
of the rick-Wyman heirs, was
bought yesterday by Amedeo and FL
vira DeAngelis. Mr.. DeAngelis said
this morning that he and his wife made
the purchase yesterday and that the
papers would be fled for record to-
day in the office of the town clerk.
When Major Childs bought the prop
erty last summer he said that he had
bought it as an investment. It was
transferred to him by the heirs of the
estate of Seth N. Herrick and by Ed.
ward c. Crosby, administrator Of the
estate of G. w. Wyman.
The building contains, besides Mr..
DeAngelis s shoe repair shop in the
basement, Donnell & Davis s millinery
store, e. j. Fenton & Co.'S clothing
store, Ebert Simons' s confectionery
store, S. w. Edgett s real estate office
DR.. c. R. Aldrich s office, DIR. G. F.
Barber dental office, w. H. Robin
son s printing office, c. E. Shorey s
photograph studio, and some living
rooms.
Mr.. DeAngelis says he has no plans
for any changes in the building and
that Major Childs viii act as agent fo1
the property.
Mr.. DeAngelis came to Brattleborc
from Italy in 1902 and entered the EN-
ploy of his uncle, B. Mancini, who con
Quoted shoe repairing shop in thu
basement of the property Mr. Dean
gels now owns. Three years later Mr.
DeAngeGs bought the shop of hi
uncle and has since conducted il. II

parents in Italy, being absent abou
two months and being accompanied b,

CELLS, who had been set up in busines
by Amedeo. Two of the children re
mained in Italy, and their father vii
go there after them when the war j
over.
The purchase of this property is evi

that President Wilson S action in break
ing off diplomatic relations was
"brusquc' and harsh and that they
were informed of no "authcntic rca-
sons for his action.
The evidences at hand are that if
Mexico, as Germany suggested, com
municated to japan the proposal for an
attack on the United States it met with
a reception in Toxic which was quite
contrary to what Berlin had expected.
Observers here believe that the break
down of the scheme so far as Japan
was concerned was signalizcd when the
Mexican government suddenly reversed
its attitude and announced that it had
no intention of cutting off the British
supplies of naval fuel OIL as had been
plainly indicated in Gen. Carranza s
proposal to make peace in Europe by
cutting off exports of food and ammu-
nitions from ncutrals.
/ The communication of Germany to
Mexico and Japan proposing an alliance
against the United States, as published
today, was brought mp in the senate
when it convened by Senator Lodge
who introduced resolution proposing
that the President inform the senate

Senator Swanson of Virginia Informed
Senator Lodge that the Democratic sen

Former Patient and Attend
ant Told About C0ndi-
tiOns in the Retreat,
HE SAID PATIENTS
WERE UNDULY ABUSED
What They Should Be Ex-Iieut.
Gov. Howe Thought Institution Funds
Insufficient.
Especial to The Reformer.)
MONTPELIER, March /

NUN MarcH /.
Several witnesses We're examined by
the investigating committee this morn
.ing, the most substantial witness being
Charles E. Ray of Brandon Mr.. Ray
was for five years patient Mt the
Brattleboro Retreat and after his re-
lease was employed by that institution
for four years. During this time Mr..
Ray had occasion to 90 through the
various wards and he testified that he
had seen patients unduly abused, that
the food was poor and the sanitary
conditions not what they should be.
There has been considerable COM
ment about patients not receiving fow-
ers sent to them, fruit and other ar
ticles and Attorney Gibson, in cross
examining Mr.. Ray, brought out the
fact that the flowers sent TO one Atkins
were oftentimes put in his room only
for him to destroy, or perhaps to eat.
Other witnesses this morning were
| Mrs. Annie Williams of Woodsville, n.
| H., and Frank D. Bowker of st. Johns
bury.
This afternoon the committee ex-
poets to complete testimony Of part Of
witnesses which they have summoned.
Yesterday afternoon the invest gat-
ing committee held no hearing, as the
witnesses summoned did not arrive, but
Just before adjournment in the fore
noon the testimony of former Lieut.
Gov. Frank Il. Howe of Bennington
proved among the most valuable re-
eeiyed.
Mr.. Howe had no startling charges
to make but from a long period Of oh.
seryation he has concluded that the
Brattleboro Retreat does not have
funds sufficient to conduct the institu-
tion as it should be conducted Tho
attendants must be Of an inferior ordet
from the wages paid. That the build
ings are infested with vermin is a COM
mon report in Brattlehoro, Mr.. Howe
testified, also the sanitary conditions
are extremely poor.
When questioned about the food the
, witness told of visits to the institu-
tion when he saw the stores of sup
plies and Judged the quantity sufficient
but of poor quality. Further, he
thought complaints against the table
fare were justified.
Mr.. Howe in his visits to the Retreat
has never seen a dungeon although his
mother had told him, when working
! there many years ago, there was a
, dungeon room in the cellar, or more
I properly termed a padded cell. +
Considering the expense of food,
medical attendance, supervision, cloth
ing and overhead charges, Mr.. Howe
, does not feel the state pays enough for
: the care of the state patients. -Four
: dollars per week is insufficient and his
remedy would be to take the Retreat
over as state institution.

that the United States government re-

the tuition and incidental expenses of
students at institutions of higher learn
ing within the state, such amount not

in the house by vote of 101 to %
this morning after opposition from Mr..

politics the aid would be extended to
the ones who could bring the most
pressure to bear.

This astounding document dated Bcr-
lin, Jan. 10, 1917, contents of which
have for some time been in the pos
session Of the Emitted States govern
mcnt, shows plainly that Germany,
while making repeated protestations to
the United States that she had no in
teution Of resuming her sea campaign
of uthlessuess. was making the final
arrangements for its execution two
weeks before il was announced and had
even gone SO far in consideration of the
consequences that She proposed to meet
them by the attack with Mexico and
Japan upon the United States.
To American officials the startling dis
closure throws new light on Germany :
real attitude toward the United states.
Il shows that while the administration
has been going TO utmost lengths to
avoid an armed clash with Germany
even to the extent Of repeatedly en-
during ilagrant violations Of American
rights on the seas and breaches Of ncu
trality on American soil, Germany has
been numbering the United Statcs

awarded at the Valley fair, in addi-
tion to the prizes offered by the Yer

bers of the state club. So far as is
