STOPS PAYMENT OF
ILLEGAL BOUNTIES

Helena, March 14.--Attorncy Cen
cral S. c. Ford today advised Sccre-
tary d, w. Raymond of the state
board of stock commissioners that it
is necessary for bounty claimants to
present the entire skin, including the
feet before bounty inspector can
legally issue certificate of bounty:
Mr.. Raymond said:
There is much illegal bounty COL
lected IN Montana. This illegal COL
lection of bounty can be easily made
on account of the different require
ments in the states of Idaho, Wyoming
and Montana. The Idaho law pro-
vides that anyone presenting skins for
bounty must present the entire skin
with the four paws attached.
wyoming has the same provision.
In cancelling skins, which have been
presented for bounty idaho requires
that the four paws be cut off. Wyo-
ming provides for the severing of the
scalp. Montana also provides for the
severing of the scalp. You will
readily see that skins which have been
presented in Idaho and bounty COL
lected upon them, may easily be pre-
scented again in the state of Montana
and bounty collected"

On the
Spur.of the
Moment

Perhaps.
Dewitt Van Oodle Mennyrpx loved
Janet Jay De Vorce,
Though she was wealthy that was
not the reason.
He loved most true and SO did she,
they were wed and then, of
course,
Their wedding was the SWEETEST of
the season.
Their wedding gifts were opera boxes,
motor cars and yachts,
A few estates, ten million from her
happy,
Three dozen eggs, n load of coal. some
highly valued lots,
And everybody hoped they would be
happy.
The years sped on. they often do,
and wealthy couples too.
How could they hope, such very
wealthy mortals,
How could they hope to live in love
as poorer people do:
So seldom love will enter lavish
portals.
Yet so they did and what is more it
came to pass they say,
Proud Dad was he and She happy
Mother,
And though indeed we seem to hear
of few that so this way
Perhaps they're just as many as the
other.

TO ASSIGN Nays
BUILDING PROGRAM
Navy Department Will Make
Awards as Soon as Sur
vey Is Completed.
CRUISER BIDS IN NOW
Contracts for Dreadnoughts
and Submarines Depend
on Yards Capacity.

Washington. March 1.-THE navy
department is preparing to assign to
American shipbuilders such portions of
the great building program authorized
by congress as each plant is best fit
ted to handle. Bids for six scout
cruisers received today were within the
limit of cost fixed by congress, but no
awards will be made until the survey
of the entire shipbuilding industry has
been completed.
Representatives of all major ship
building companies will confer again
tomorrow with Secretary Daniels. Full
information as to the present capacity
and possible extensions of each plant
has now been furnished. On the basis
of this data. a plan for distributing
among the plants the eight capital
ships. six scout cruisers. IS submarines
and Is or more destroyers will be
mapped out.
The low bidder today for scout
cruisers was the Cramp company Of
Philadelphia. The firm offered to
construct two scouts. but pointed out
construction of battle cruiser at the
same time. 1t was indicated at the
department that because Of the neces-
sity of getting five battle cruisers on
the ways in the shortest possible time.
il might be necessary to assign one to
the Cramp plant. leaving the scouts
to other companies not equipped for
larger work.
Engines Scarce.
The chief difficulty is in securing
engines for all types of navy craft,
including the new coast patrol boats
soon to be ordered in considerab BILE
numbers.
A plan for the CO. ordination of the
engine building capacity of the country
may be necessary.
The department has sought informa-
ton from the Electric Boat apd the
Lake Torpedo Boat companies, the two
concerns building navy submarines, as
to the number of boats each could
complete within six months. Replies
have not been received as yet. Con-
eress provided that the IS new boats
all should be Of the S0O-ton type and
the departments present specifications
call for increased speed and other
changes from the three boats of the
same size already ordered. In the in
terests of speedy construction, how
ever. the new plans may be abandoned
and last years boats be duplicated.
$4,000 Ton Battleships.
Plans for the three 10000 ton bat
tleships are not yet ready for distri-
button to builders. 1t is indicated that
attention is to be turned to other parts
of the building program for the pres
ent as the battleships, in any event
will require a long time to construct.
More than Is destroyers probably
will be ordered at once. Congress
provided specifically for this number,
but granted additional authority UNI
der its emergency appropriation clause
for the construction of small craft

FUNERAL OF C. L. cURRIER.
Attended By Large Number of Business

Men prominent in the business and
professional life of Barre gathered Thurs
day afternoon to pay tribute to the
memory of Charles L. Currier, long
time resident of this city, whose death
Wednesday morning at the age of 81 re-
moved a citizen of varied activities. The
funeral was held at the Currier home
on Washington street at 2 o'clock, Rev.
J. w. Barnett, pastor of the Barre Con-
gregational church officiating. Those who
were affiliated with Mr.. Currier as a
banker, railroad director and member of
the city government were present. Dur
ing the hour Of the service, the Office of
the Granite Savings Bank 6 Trust Co.
was closed and men from that institu-
tion. which the deceased helped to found,
acted as bearers. They are: John Trow,

the allies, and that by arming such ships
the United States would commit an act
of war. Representative Campbell con
tended that passage of the bill would be
equivalent to surrender by Congress of
its right to make war. A little group of
avowed paciists opposed unalterably the
use OF arms for any reason. but played
only small part in the fight.
The House leaders, expecting the SEN
ate to pass its bill as substitute, say
they can put through the Senate bill if
it comes to them.
The House bill, besides eliminating the
phrase "other nstrumentalities," also
carries committee amendment which
would prohibit insurance of munition-
carrying ships under the war risk fund
to which the president is authorized to
transfer part of the Sl00,00O,000 de-
rived from the bond issue provided for in
the bill. Such vessels are not being in
sured by the government now, but the
amendment is considered undesirable by
the administration.
The final vote was preceded by a roll
call on motion of Representative Coop
er to send the bill back to the foreign
affairs committee, which was beaten, 295
to l24.

Yarrowdale Men Tell of the
Hardship and Suspense
While Kept Prisoners
60 OTHER AMERICANS
ARE IN PRISON CAMPS
The Four Were Released by
Germany Because They
Ranked as Officers

Copenhagen, via London, March g.
Four Americans from the steamer Var
rowdale who have been prisoners in Ger
many three months, arrived to-day.
They are DIR. John Davis, 0rville Nc
Kimm, DIR. p. d. Snyder and Richsrd Ia
briskie. All were virtually destitute
with only the clothes they wore. They
owe their release before the remainder
of the 72 Americans who were on the
Yarrowdale to the fact that as physi-
clans or veterinaries they ranked as Of
fcers and were confined in an officers
camp at Karlsruhe. The horse tenders
and sailors who composed the bulk OF the
American captives still held in quar-
antine at the prison camp for enlisted
men at Dulken.
The men told dramatic tale OF ad-
venture, hardship and peril at sea. The
sport of cannons on land an a new
danger from the sky, they lived for more
than two months in prison camps in
Germany ON the meagre fare provided by
the government and passed through four
airplane attacks during which the bombs
rained on all sides of their camp. During
all this time they were ignorant whether
their government was doing anything
TO obtain their release or whether the
United States had not already entered
the war.

SLIGHTLY SMALLER CHECK LIST.
Barre Has a,IIo Persons Eligible to
Vote.

A gain of as over the aggregate of
voters in March, 1916, and detection of
II from the total at the November cleo
tions are noted in the footings of the
ward check lists recently revised by the
board of civil authority. Next Tuesday
2.ll0 citizens will be eligible to exercise
the suffrage, as against the 2,l22 who
were registered last November and the
2.062 who were entitled to vote at the
March election in 1916. Wards that have
gained in voting strength since Novem-
ber are the third, fifth and sixth, al
though the increase in the sixth ward is
barely appreciable Wards that have in
creased their voting strength since March,
1916. are the first, third, fifth and sixth.
In the second ward there has been a
noticeable falling off in numbers, while
in the third and fifth wards the gains
have been marked. The fourth ward is
not holding its own, but there has been a
steady, if slow, gain in ward five. 1t
cannot be said that the sixth ward is
gaining greatly in its voting population,
there are eight more voters now
han i'm November and one more than in
March, 1916. For purposes of compari-
.on, the following tables are given.
