REVENUE MEASURE
ASSURED IN HOUSE
Finale Vote Probably Will Be
Reached Early This
Afternoon

Washington, April 13.-Eight
hours of debate on the seven billion
dollar war revenue bill in the House
today developed so little opposition
that passage Of the measure to-
morrow by an almost unanimous
vote became a certainty. Action in
the Senate probably will follow
early next week.
When the House adjourned to-
night general debate had closed and
the leaders had agreed to begin dis
cussion of amendments under the
five-minute rule at II o'clock to-
morrow morning. The vote probably
will be taken in the afternoon.
Amendments approved today by
Secretary McAdoo to limit distribu-
ton Of the proposed $3,Oo0,ooO,ooo
foreign loan which the bill would
authorize to countries actually at
war with Germany and only during
hostilities will be added to the mea-
sure Representative Lenroot Of
Wisconsin and others insisted today
that without these limitations the
secretary Of the treasury might
make loans to European neutrals
Immediately or continue loans to
other countries after the close of
the war. Trainers of the bill insisted
that such a course never would be
considered, but they finally agreed
to insert the specific prohibitions.
Absence of partisan spirit marked
the debate. Democratic Leader Kit
chin and Representative Fordney, of
Michigan who for years have bat
tied from opposite sides of the
House on financial questions, were
the principal supporters of the mea-
sure. Efforts to inject political dis
cussion into the debate and swerve
the leaders off on the tariff and
other issues were unavailing.
An ovation was accorded Mr..
Kitchin when he opened debate in
behalf of the bill. He explained that
the measure carried a proposal bond
issue of $5,0OO,OOO,OOO, ont of the
proceeds of which $3,000,000,000
was to be loaned to the Allies with
their bonds as security, the remain
ing $4,000, 100000 obtained from
the sale of bonds to be added to
the proceeds of a proposed $4,000
100000 certificates Of indebtedness
issue and expended in the prosecu-
ton Of the war by the United
States. All of the issue will carry
3 1-2 per cent interest.

Who killed Cornelia Alster
This is the problem that battles
the most skilled detectives.
1t puzzles all spectators and keeps
them keyed up with excitement and
wonder until the end of the photo
play.
The grim finger of suspicion
points at five persons.
Then comes the great denoue-
ment, revealing the real slayer.
This gripping revelation comes
as a startling surprise to all.
Yet the reason for the crime
proves so obvious and logical that
one wonders why that particular
person was not before suspected.
The mystery throughout is SO in
tensely fascinating that none will
rest until the solution is known.
The drama is powerful, gripping, in
tense.

superstitious Mexicans promptly de-

500, 900 FIRE LAID
At GERMANS DOOR

Leesville, La, April 13.-The
sawmill plant, including an adjoin-
ing engine room, of the w. r. Pick
ering Lumber Co., located at Picker
ing, some eight or nine miles south
of Leesville, was destroyed by fire
at ~ O'Clock Thursday night with
an estimated loss of 100000, par
tally covered by insurance.
Mill officials telephoned thc
sheriffs office to send men to the
scene of the fire as they had gray
suspicion regarding the origin OF
the fire. It SENS that there have
been a few German employees there
who have been heard to remark that
they "would destroy all of the saw
mills in the country" and as this
company had received orders from
the government for certain shi!
timbers there was suspicion tina
these persons had something to d.
with the destruction Of the plant.
Detectives have been put to worl
on the case. All of the German EN-
ployees have been discharged. Fed
eral authorities have also been mott
fled of those who it is alleged hav'
been heard to make certain remark
detrimental to the best interest o
the country and especially agains
the sawmills Of this section.

Some merry sonster singing in the

Bring back the sunlit smile of

Take time to plant some lilies by the

The world is weary like a man

And many pilgrim fain would pause
to pray
Where stainless petals clasp heart

Take time to scatter sunbeams ere

For life is dark with many brood

And Swallowed hearts somehow forget

When slvery laughter ripples ev-

For thorns and thistles ne'er provok-

The world grows weary of the clash

Let Love, the gardener, work little

Lest, often fighting, men should

COUNTY COURT.

Court opened Tuesday of last week
with Judge Fish in the chair and W.
T. Miller Of Troy and c. W. Tenney
OF Albany as assistants.
The first case coming 10 trial was
Ezibe Lemaire and Avila Leduc
against Edmund Gardner. 1t seems
the defendant sold the Lemaire and
Leduc q farm near Derby Line and
the purchasers claimed the acreage
was short of the number Gardner
claimed. The jury brought in a YER
dict for the defendant.
The case now on trial also grows
out of a farm sale in Coventry. Ma
tnaniel Rowell sold a farm for $12,-
600 to Harry and Georgiana Auger
and the purchasers claim Rowell rep
resented that the farm would keep
more stock than it viii actually carry.
The term viii probably be very
short.

THREE BARTON RECRUITS.
Naval Recruiting Officer White,
Medal of Honor Man Here.

]. c. White, petty chief officer IN the
u. S. navy. arrived here the first of
the week and opened recruiting sta
tion for three or four days at the
postoffice.
White IS one Of the few medal of
honor men, in the country. He re-
eeived the medal by an act of Con-
gress when he saved the torpedo boat
destroyer, u. S. S. Smith with 81 men
on board, by going through hot steam
to cover a gasket which had blown.
'Scotty,' which is his name among ma
Wy men, got out Of the trouble all
right, but when he went into the hole
most of the men thought he wouldn't t
come out In addition to the medal
of honor 'sScotty" has medals for hav-
ing been in the battle of Santiago,
when he helped chase the Spanish
feet at the time he was stationed on
the Brooklyn.
He was in the border uprising and
was also at Manila Bay. He has been
four times around the world and there
are few places where u. S. ships have
been that 'Scotty' hasn't paid a visit.
He has been 26 years IN the service
Three Barton men have gone to
Burlington to take their examinations
for the service, MalcolmBuck, George

Tomorrow White goes to Orleans
where he remains until Monday and
then he goes to Newport for a week

How Orleans County Helped.

The Vermont Association for the
Prevention of tuberculosis has given
out the results of the sale of Red
Cross seals in the state. Each town
where more than one seal per capita
was sold is listed and Orleans county
is well up toward the front
Newport leads off with the largest
sale of 1914 seals, or approximately
two seals per capita. Barton is sec
orld with a sale of 5000, or 1.8 seals
per capita. Derby is third with 5196
seals sold or 1.6 seals per capita The
Craftsbury, 1450; Greensboro, 1245;
Glover, 1925; Irasburg, 1000.
The total number of RedCross
Christmas seals sold in Vermont to
date is 599, 1877. There are still a
number of seals that have not been
heard from and when all returns are
IN the total viii probably give Yer
mont fourth place IN the list of states
having the highest per capita sale.
Vergennes IS the banner place In
the state In the number of seals sold
per capita, the returns showing 5.5
seals per capita or total of 8,242
seals sold. BrattIeboro leads the
towns and cities of over 5000 popula-
ton, selling two or more seals per
capita with 4.5, while Bennington re
turns show Al; Rutland; %; Bur
ington, 2.8; St. Adams, 2.7; st.
Johnsbury, 2.2; Rockingham, 2.1; and
Barre, 2. The greatest number of
seals was sold in Burlington with a
total of 57,770, while Rutland was
second with an aggregate Of sc, ,621.
