TO DROP CASE AGAINST o'BR1EN
State Will Not Press Perjury Charge
Againgt Former Lawyer.

Attorney f. II. O'Brien of Rutland
with Offices in the Quinn building, re-
ceived notification Wednesday through
one of his attorneys, Joseph C. Jones,
that the state is to ask that a nolle pros
be entered in its case of perjury against
him which had been set for trial in
Rutland county court.
With this action the state s. attempt
to convict the attorney and George p.
Eastman, the wcll-known marble pro-
ducer of Rutland, of perjury in con
ncction with the lougdrawn out litiga-
ton between the Eastman interests
and the Vermont Marble company over
disputed boundary line in West Rut-
land, falls fiat. Mr.. Eastman was a
few months ago acquitted by n jury in
Rutland county court on the charge of
perjury after the state spent thou
sands of dollars in an attempt to prove
that the respondent had testified false
ly in chanccry hearing.
When the charge of perjury was
made against Attorney OBrien by
former Attorney General H. G, Barber
of Brattleboro the supreme court did
not wait ahc action of the county
court but proceeded to try the lawyer
on the charges of unprofcssional CON
duct and as a result disbarred him from
practice. With the decision of the
state to drop its action against Attor-
ncy O'Bricn his professional brothers
are wondering just how the supreme
court is to Justify its action which was
the result of OK parte proceedings.

Barber Park is an amusement resort
maintained by the electric railway COM
pany, situated about . l-2 miles from
Bellows Falls on the Saxtons River
road. The closing of the single high
way leading from the Saxtons River
road to Barber Park would eliminate all
auto travel, and would mean increased
traffic for the car line. The highway
in question is in poor condition and is
considered dangerous by some.

RECITAL PLEASES AUDIENCE.
Organist Frank M. Cram and Miss
Katherine Denning, Soprano, Render
Delightful Program.

The organ recital by Frank Merrill
FRAN, given Monday evening in the First
Baptist church, was very largely attend
ed by delighted audience, and the seem
ing brevity of the program-thc desire
for more-was proof of the listeners
pleasure.
The Allegro from the 10th Concerto
was truly Handclian in its norid type
and displayed the facility both ON manu-
ais and pedals acquired by Mr.. Cram, az
did the olga movement in the Coveli
suite at the close Followed as it was by
the beautiful Meditation by Drumm, the
combination of the two numbers was de
lghtful; the latter evidencing another
marked accomplishment of the performer
in registration
The exquisite and familiar string quartet
by Tschaikowsky was especially possible
because of the peculiar richness of the
string tones in the memorial organ which
were introduced most delicately.
The big number of course was the
Suite by Cavclli in five divisions and was
presented in manner faithful to the
authors conception.
Miss Katherine Dennlng, soprano, con
tributed not little to the pleasure of
the evening by her rendering OF three
numbers, Ave Maria. Roses, and the bird
song, Why Singest Thou. With a voice
ranging from A fiat below the staff to
b fiat above, the singer has great pos
siblitcs and it is to be hoped that her
studies may be prolonged
All in all it was an evening to be re-
membered very pleasantly and the evident
message for Mr.. Cram is "Come again"
The players father and mother were
interested and delighted listeners.

DONE Progress is the accomplishment
of things that others have not reached.
In this connection Rev. Mr. Brownell
cited Columbus as an explorer, Lincoln
rs n rcformcr, and the airplane as an
invention.
Then speaking directly to the class
Rev. Mr.. Brownell said:
"Members of the graduating class of
the Brattlcboro high school:
81 congraa alatc you upon the advan-
tagcs YOU have enjoyed, of which others
perhaps have been deprived. | commend
you for your perseverance i'll the pur-
, suit of your studies. If you have been
benefited more than others by the splcn-
did opportunities which this town Of
fers its youth. it has been according to
| the measure that you have embraced
| them. As you have improved your OPP
! portunitics YOU have improved yourself
and your equipment for life's duties
and possibilities.
Whatever the tasks to which you
may give yourselves in the immediate
| future, let me urge upon you the i'm
portancc of eager, earnest, intense eff
| fort in the early years of your life. AS
the morning hours are the best part of
| the day for labor, so in any field of ac-
| tivity, the best part of your lives is
those morning years when the respon-
siveness and the resiliency of your body
and soul are at their height
! Whose answers not God : earliest call
Forfcits or dulls that faculty supreme
OF lying open to his genius.
"The attainmcnts of any person at
sixty are cclpsed by what he or she
| did or failed to do before he was thirty
more than by any other factor. Every
| hour that is wasted is so much sub
| tractcd from the years that constitute
our mortal span. He that kills time
has taken Il portion of his own life,
and is already committing the crime of
suicide. The value of day is not meas
urcd by the price you may receive for
your labor, but by the honest useful
toll which you may give to God and
man, and by the satisfaction you find in
what you have done and what you have
become. Is not that day best in which
you have done more than others?
/ 81 have read that when the compos
' or, Anton RubcHstcin, was in America
many years ago he was taken by n
friend to church on a Sunday morning.
A week later the same friend invited
the musician to go with him to church,
to Which the composer replied: Yes, /
will 90 with you, but take me to some
church where the worship and the mes
sage will tempt me to do the impossi
| bic. In the days of your youth with life
before you with this challenge of Jesus,
what do We more than Others, tempt
! you to do the impossible God grant
that your love and your labor, your
prayer and your pleasure your useful
ness and your blessing may always be
more than others.
