EASTMAN DESIRES
CASE CONTINUED
Rutland Man Charged with Perjury
Says Material Witness, Through
Illness, Cannot Attend Hearing.

Attorney General II. e. Barber was
notified today of a motion by the de
fenSe in the case of the state against
George p Eastman of Rutland, charged
with perjury, for continuance of the
trial on the ground that Attorney
Ernest II. O 'Brien of Rutland, a mate
rial witness for the defense, was i'll in
a hospital. Judge Zed S. Stanton re-
Gently set the case for trial on Nav
20, but the defense says that Mr..
O Brien will not be able to be in court
at that time.
This case grows out of the trial of
the ease of George 7. Eastman and T.
w. Clement against the Vermont
Marble company, which case was won
by the Vermont Marble company. 1t
is claimed that Eastman committed
perjury in connection with a document
involving boundary line. Had the
plaintiffs won that ease it would have
given them marble land worth approx
lmately a quarter of million dollars.

STEFANSsCN RECOVERING.
But Explorer Will Not Be Able to Con

NEW YORK, May 13.-Viljhalmur
Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, who
was stricken with typhoid fever on the
Herschel islands early this week, is re-
covering slowly, but will not be able
to continue the expedition he had under
taken, according to a telegram received
by the Explorers club Yesterday The
message, dated Saturday, was signed
by the explorer himself, and said that
he is convalescing at the Episcopal hos
pital, Fort Yukon, Alaska He was
taken there last month
Stafansson who started last fall on
on Arctic expedition under authority
of the Canadian government, expected
to complete his explorations and make
lecture tour of the United States and
Canada, starting in September, for the
benefit of the Canadian Red Cross and
other war charities. His message stat
ed that his doctors have advised him
that three to six months must elapse
before he can undertake any hard
work or serious responsibility without
grave danger.
The explorers s telegram said that he
IS established with delightful sur
roundings and competent doctors and
nurses. 1t is an ideal place for a rest,
which is now the main thing. There
seems to be no danger of a setback,
but recovery is slow. | am the guest

DESIRE TO HAVE
HOTEL REBUILT
Townshend Citizens Appoint Committee
to Seek Donations-Brattleb
Man Makes an Offer.

Townshend people are desirous of
having Frank Mclean rebuild the
Townshend Inn, but just how desirous
they are remains to be demonstrated
The hotel was burned early in the
morning Of Saturday, May 4, together
with its contents, and at the same time
the town hall and DIR. l.. J. Parker s
residence were DESTROYED
On Saturday evening some 30 resi-
dents of Townshend assembled in Sem
mary hall to discuss ways and means
of inducing Mr. Mclean to rebuild the
hotel. John II. Ware was chosen chair
man and w. NJ. Sparks secretary:
1t was brought out that Mr.. Mclean
would receive between $4,000 and
$3,400 insurance and that Charles r.
Crosby of Brattleboro had offered to
give the town $500 toward rebuilding
the town hall, provided the citizens
would see that the hotel was rebuilt.
The hotel barn was saved, together
with the electric power plant for light
ing the hotel and premises. 1t is es-
timated that a new hotel would cost
about $4,000. One man has offered TO
donate 5000 feet of lumber, and Others
have offered lumber and labor.
AT the meeting Saturday night
the chairman, Mr.. Ware. and R.
/. Fitch, c. G. Robinson and c. H.
Willard were appointed commit
tee to find out how much cash,
lumber and labor can be obtained as
donations toward new hotel and to
report next Saturday night, and if Mr..
Mclean IS willing to accept them and
rebuild, special town meeting will be
called to consider the question of ex-
emptlng the property from taxation
for 10 years. At the same time the
question of building another town hall
probably will come up.

lNTERCLASS MEET
WEDNESDAY, AT 2.3O
Coach Died. Stolte Has Developed
Some Good Athletes and Rivalry
Is Sure to Be Keen.

Tn Wednesday afternoon at go o'clock
there will bc some mighty keen competi-
uon at the fair grounds when the high
school classes contend for the highest
honors in track and field events. Tick
cts are being sold by the pupils and any
one who misses the chance to buy one
loses an opportunity to spend an enjoy
able afternoon and fails to encourage the
boys The need of athletics is emphasized
by the government from President Will
son down, and the draft examinations
have shown the value of sports in build
ing up men and preventing ailments
Every person at the grounds makes the
competition kcener between the contest
ants and gives them encouragement
and for that reason it is to be hoped that
a record crowd will attend the meet.
Coach Died Stoltc has developed
some mighty good athletes on the team
and spectators will get the chance to see
some of the local stars in action. An in
tcrclass meet Is always full of keen rivalry
and II has great value in bringing out new
material This meet will be particularly
interesting because people will be given
a chance to s'Ze up the boys who will
represent the Brattleboro high school in
the Yale interscholastic meet at New IFa-
ven Saturday. The men selected will meet
some OF the best men in high and prep
school track in one of the most important
meets Of the year. They are good enough
to make those who have watched them
in practice believe that they will not
come back empty handed Winning some
points IN this meet would put our high
school on the athletic map for some time
to come.
The proceeds of the sale of tickets for
the nterclass meet Wednesday will be
used to send our stars to New Haven

Retlres from Office of AttOr-
ney General When the
Term Ends
SUGGESTION FOR
STATE TO CONSIDER
'iouio furnlsh Assistant or Take Away
Criminal Business, Mr.. Barber Saws
-Rumor that Other Officials Nav
Seek Another Term.

Although rumors are current in va
nous parts of the state that most of tho
state officers viii be candidates for re-
election, Attorney General Herbert q
Barber of Brattleboro states that ba
VIII not serve another term. but will
devote his time to private practice at
the close of the present biennial period
Feb. ], 1919.
With one exception each attorney
general since the office was created has
served two terms of two wears each
mat one exception was in the case Of
Attorney General Rufus E. Brown of
Burlington. Mr.. Brown served two
years and on account of so much criti
clsm Of his expenditures for detective
service he declined to be candidate
for reelection. Governor Allen NJ
Fletcher appointed Mr. Barber to fill
out the interim between Dec. /. 1914
and Feb. l, 1915, when the change in
the constitution making the biennial
period begin February / went into Of
two years and reelected at the expira-
tion of that term.
When asked today relative to the
amount Of time required by the duties
Of the office Mr.. Barber stated that in
the past two years he had tried only
two or three private eases, devoting all
the rest of his time to state work. He
said the work was constantly increas
l1x- - AZ,
that the state ought either to furnish
the attorney general an assistant or not
require the attorney general to look
after the criminal business.
During Mr.. Browns incumbencv of
the office the expenses for detective
service amounted to about $4,000 an
nuallv. Mr. Barber was not prepared 70
give without notice a review of his
work for the state. but it is known to
have been very ereditable and The Re-
former Will take occasion to say more
about it later.
When asked for figures showing the
expense for the detective service Mr..
Barber submitted the following: For
the IL months from Dee |, 1914, through
Dec. ~, 1918, $2,75s; Jan. /, 1916, to
Dec. 81, 1916, $500; Jan. !, TO Dee. 81,
1917, 1858.
There are now pending three murder
eases, the Bennington county case of
the state against Frank Ketchum, the
Orleans county case of the state against
Francis McMann, and the ease in Mid
dlesex where John Q. Hobart was 'mur-
dered on the evening of April %, in
which the defendant is not vet named.
There is also pending the important per
jury case against George B. Eastman of
Rutland.
