NARROWED TO TWO
And Charles Adams of Waterbury Is
Said to Lead for States Attorney.

Gov. H. +. Graham arrived in Mont
pelier this forenoon to consider matters
at the State House. The governor may
make an appointment of states attor-
ney for Washington county to-day to
succeed Fred +. Gleason, who presented
his resignation some three weeks ago to
take effect June L.
Although there were many names mem
TONED as candidates two weeks ago it is
predicted on good authority that the

GoRKY DECLINED.
To Betray Russia to German Intrigue for
Separate Peace.

Petrograd via London, June MAX
i'm Gorky, the noted Russian author
publishes a sensational account of an at
tempt by ID. Rizow, the Bulgarian min
lister at Berlin, to inveigle him into clan
destine negotiations for separate peace
The peace proposal was delivered Gorky
declares at Petrograd in duplicate by tive
German agents, acting individually. In
the Noyaia Zhizn, OF which Gorky is the
editor, he prints Rizow's secret dispatch
occupying three columns with concrete
peace proposals, and although he him
self is an almost fanatical advocate OF
peace, denounces Rizow.
Rizow begins by proclaiming that al
ready in January he had approached the
Russian ministers at Stockholm and
Christiania with proposal to conclude
"an honorable peace" between Russia
and her foes. He received a rebuff. I'M
mediately after the revolution, Rizow
renewed his attempt with the Russian
minister at Ghristiania, who was an old
acquaintance, and got through the min
lister, reply from Prof. Paul Milukotf,
then the foreign minister in the tempo
rary government, that there could be no
question of a separate peace.
Notwithstanding his two repulses, Ri
zow, announcing himself as Russia's real
friend, now approaches his acquaintance
Maxim Gorky He attempts to refute
SUCCESSFULLY the arguments customarily
used by the Russians and the allies
against separate peace. He offers to
guarantee that Germany and Austria
will not again undertake an offensive
against free Russia and adds that both
powers are willing to evacuate the oc-
cupied territory without the expenditure
of another drop of Russian blood.
He declares that Germany and Austria
in no wise menace Russia's new free
dom. He accuses England of being the
real militarist state, not Germany, and
declares that Russia has no moral obll-
cation to keep her treaty with the allies,
because treaty breaking has been com
mon in the present war.
The provisional government adds Ri
COW must be forced to answer the ques-
tion: "Who, after three years mas
sacre, gave you the right to continue
Russian bloodY"
Rizow thereupon makes the following |
concrete proposal:
Russia to conclude an immediate ar
nistice with her foes, both belligerents |
their present fronts, and to
summon Immediately Russian constit-
tent assembly with the aim of deciding
IN peace or war"
This, says Rizow, is the only means TO
ave the Russian revolution from dis
Ister. He invites Gorky to meet him at
stockholm or some other Swedish town,
r, if that is impossible, to send repre-.
entative, who must be Russian of au-
hority. He invites Gorky to aeknowl-
dge the dispatch and appoint meeting
lace by telegraph to certain Grecoff,
esiding in the Strandvag in Stockholm,
nd suggests that lie CONCEAL his identity
y signing the telegram with his Chris
ian name Alex1, or by the name of
lax.
In his newspaper Maxim Gorky char
cterizes Rizow's dispatch as ''base and
tupid,7 and declares that his only reply
ill be its publication.
