Walter S. Wyman, general manager
of the Central Maine Power, was the
first witness of the remonstrance at
the evening session. He compared in
considerable detail the rates charged
by the hydro-electric commission Of
Ontario and those charged by his own
company
He said that the place where the On
tario commission charged low rates was
in the large towns near Niagara Falls
and that they made saving where any,
body else could make a saving.

SUFFRAGE PICKETS AGAIN
AT WHITE HOUSE GATES
Permitted to Display Their Banners
Without Interference From
the Police.

Twelve pickets, members OF the Ma
tioslal Wofnan's Party. yesterday re-
sumed their position in front of the
White House gates, with banners. There
was no disorder. The police permitted
the p!ckets to retain the stands they
took and ordered the crowds to keen
moving.
1t was the first time since the Rus
sian banner was destroyed, when citi-
Zens deemed it offensive. that the pick
cts were permitted to display their ban
ners unmolested. The pickets remained
at the White House gates from about
/ o'clock to the middle of the after
noon.
II is understood that since President
Wilson pardoned the sixteen members
of the wcmen's party sentenced to serve
sixty days in the workhouse for their
activities the police have been ordered
to pay no attention to the pickets 80
long as they do not display banners
with inscriptions insulting to the
President or reasonable.

AlmOn Smith.

Almon Smith, whose death occurred
September 27, 1917, following an
operation three weeks previous at
Brightlook hospital St. Johnsbury,
was born in Burke, April LIST, 1841.
He married Martha Laid Dec. LIST,
1874, and for many years they lived
in this village, where he was en-
ployed by the Grand Trunk::Railway
Co. Their only child, a daughter,
died in infancy.
Like many men of few words, a
long acquaintance brought out his
good qualities. Loyal and true he
was to all with whom he had any
dealings.
In younger days he attended old
fashioned singing school and no form
OF entertainment had the same charm
for him. Possessed of fine voice,
ne was always ready Ito assist in
church choir or choral work.
He seemed to have a strong de-
sire to spend his last days in the
vicinity where he was born, and for
some years prior to his death he had
lived on farm In Lyndon.
The funeral services were conduc-
ted by the Rev. ]. J. Hutchinson at
the home of Charles Laid in Lyn-
donville. Interment was in the fami-
ly lot in Island Pond, with prayer
by Rev. Robert Lawton. The floral
tributes were many and very beau
tiful.
He is survived by his widow and
two brothers, Volney Smith of West
Lebanan, N. H., and Osman Smith
of Island Pond.

TO INQUIRE INTO
WAR ON P|CKETS

Charging that Government clerks
and employees, soldiers, sailors, and
others have been unlawfully mobbing
members of the National woman's
Party. who have been picketing the
White House, and that such IawIess.
ness in the Capital OF the United
States is indefensible and outrageous,
Congressman Baer OF North Dakota,
today introduced in the House a reso-
luton providing for an investigation
by a committee of seven. to be ap-
pointed by Speaker Clark.
Under the resolution the committee
would be required to investigate all
the facts relating to alleged violence
and unlawful acts in the recent at
tack on the Cameron House and 9TH
er acts of interference with the wom-
en-, and make the earliest possible
report upon the conditions with a
view to bringing mob violence to an
end.
Mr.. Baer in a statement denied
that he is working for or against the
National woman's Party as an or
ganization when he insists that mob
violence in defiance OF law should not
be tolerated under any circumstances.
