TRIBUTE TO FIR. AUDET.
st. Francis Xavier Church in Winooski
Was Crowded.

Winoosk, Jan 3.-Winooski yester
day paid its last respects to the late Rev
Jean Frederic Audet, the venerable rec
tor of st. Francis Xavier CHURCH. which
congregation he founded nearly so years
ago. Business activities throughout the
village ceased yesterday morning, when
the funeral was held. The American
Wooden eompnays mills, the Porter
Screen company, the Stevens Machine
company, and the Perfection Overgaiter
company, all shut down. Although the
hour for the funeral was 10 o'clock, fully
two hours before then people began to
crowd the large edifice. At the hour APP
pointed for the services, the church was
crowded to its capacity.
The aisles were occupied and the rear
of the church, as well as the gallery.
There were present people of all faiths
and representative business men. 1t was
one of the most impressive services ever
witnessed in the village. The Rt. Rev
j. J. Rice, bishop of Burlington, ofliciat-
ed, assisted by several priests of the
diocese. Rev. d. j. O'Sullivan of st.
Adams and Rev. c. H. Provost of Ben
nington were deaeons of honor, and Rev.
n Proulx of Rutland and Rev. J. B. Pou-
lot of Essex Junction deacon and sub
deacon, respectively. The assisting priest
to the bishop was Rev. j. F. ellis of
Burlington, and Rev. w. Fl. Cassidy of
Burlington was master of ceremonies.
Inside tie chancel rail were also about
20 priests. Among them were Cannon
Descelles, superior of st. Hyacinthe, p. O.,
college, where the late priest was gradu-
ated. Following the high requiem mass,
the benediction was given by the Rt. Rev.
j. j. Rice. The priests with lighted can
dies marched from their places inside the
chancel rail to the center aisle, forming
on both sides of the casket. They were
followed by the bishop and assistants,
who blessed the remains.
The Very Rev. Z. NJ. Salmon, S. s. f.,
delivered the eulogy, in French. He took
as his text a passage from Heb. 1877:

civilian organization proves Impractical
! bic.
Transfer of locomotives from the west
and south, where congestion is not so
serious and weather less inclement, was
planned by Director General McAdoo and
his staff. With the equipment will come
a number OF employees from those dis
| tricts to assist the overburdened east.
| Reports of frozen boilers in locomotives
and trains stalled in snow, led to spe-
cial consideration of plan OF augment
| ing the available motive power on trunk
| lines east of the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio river An immediate EN-
barge on movement of a number OF nom
essential products also was discussed.
Despite the weather freight actually
is moving faster than before the govern
ment assumed management, according
to reports from interstate commerce com
mission inspectors. Congested switch
yards are being cleared without regard
to old priority orders. At least ten trains
carrying in all 500 cars of coal reached
New Jersey terminals during the day,
and many were either routed through the
Pennsylvania passenger tunnel or ferried
to the East river for transfer to Brook
lyn or dispatched to New England
Nine ships were pledged by the ship
ping board to carry coal from Hampton
Roads to New England. Director Cen
eral McAdoo devoted almost his entire
time Yesterday in consultation with
members of his advisory board and Fuel
Administrator Garfield. To-day he will
turn his attention for while from OPP
Grating and traffic problems TO discuss
the labor situation under government op.
erations with heads of the four railwa(
brotherhoods who were invited to cone
fer with him. They will be told of the
pressing necessity not only for retain
ing all present workmen, but for draw
ing new employees into the service, and
for sustaining high order of efficiency
under the governments operation plan.
Wages probably will not be discussed
at the conference except in general
way, but the brotherhood heads may be
told that the entire problem of readjust
ing wages will be taken up by the rail
road administration as soon as the more
immediate operating and traffic questions
are disposed of.
Officials are anxious that railroad en-
ployes shall not get the impression that
any wholesale curtailment of jobs or sal
aries is in prospect. Although a number
of railroad agencies which are not con-
sidered now that competitive conditions
have been abolished. may be eliminated
it is considered probable that
The employees will be transferred to 9TH
ar branches of the service. This rear
applies particularly to traffic
solicitors, publicity bureaus and legal adj
'isers.

PREVENTED SUFFERING,
Morrisville Municipal Wood Yard Proved
a Big Help.

The experiment Of a municipal wood
ward in Morrisville is thus described by
the Morrisville Messenger:
what would the people, especially the
poorer people, who buy wood in small
Quantities, have done had it not beer
for the establishment of municipal
woodward?
Last Saturday night there were TWEEN
tv families in this village without wood
dry or green. Some borrowed of their
neighbors and some used oil stoves. 4
few were supplied by the village during
the evening and nearly all the rest during
Sunday, G. n. Foss putting in the whole
day with such help as, he could get, sup
plying these families with enough green
wood to tide them over till into the
week.
"These families waited until too late,
in most cases, before applying to the vii
lage for wood.
''We are advised that farmers and
wood men have brought into the village
more wood during November and Deem
Der than ever before during these
months; that it was quickly snapped
up and, without the 1000 cords that the
village cut and held for just such an
emergency, there would have been great
suffering here, and work for the Red
Cross right at home.
Coal has been doled out during the
past week TO families having babies and
no wood stoves for heating the houses,
300 to 500 pounds to family.
"The village has cleared off one wood
lot and has bought the stumpage on an
other and purchased all the fourfoot
wood offered at a reasonable price. 1t
has all been sold in small lots except
few cords being sawed in the wood yard
now"

trains were ordered moved eastward
ahead of all other freight last night after
conference between the director general
of railroads and the fuel administration
on further plans for speeding coal TO
New England and other sections short of
coal in the midst of a blizzard. The
railroads were directed to give preference
so far as possible to shipments from
mines nearest the destination TO curtail
hauls and promote efficiency.
The organization of a great army of
laborers loaned by cities and corporations
to unload freight at congested termi-
mails now is under consideration. and
