PUNISHMENT FOR EX-
KAISER BEING DIS
CUSEED AT MEET

PARIS, Jan. 29.-The next plenary
meeting of the peace conference is
not expected for a week or longer,
when the league of nations question
will be submitted.
Lord Robert Cecil is understood to
have a series of resolutions prepared
forming the basis of the league, but
probably it will be found that America
and France will submit resolutions
with similar object Then all three
sets will be referred to a strong COM
mission of the plenary conference
after it has affirmed the main princi-
pies.
In the meantime most of the smaller
powers, like the big ones, have already
prepared in advance memoranda on
the subject of responsibility for the
war, the economic losses incurred and
the indemnity suggested. These also
will be referred to the commission for
investigation and report.
Trial of the kaiser is understood to
be recommended by all the powers, big
and little, but there is likely to be a
difference of opinion respecting the
character of the punishment to be
meted out to him if he is found guilty.
Belgium and France, naturally, favor
the death penalty for him and for the
crown prince, but Punishment to some
undesirable climate under rigorous
conditions probably will be the ulti-
mate decision
The controversy over press rights
seem likely to result in duel between
two of our irascible French confreres
M. Saint-Brice, a distinguished writer
on LIE Journal. bitterly complains that
in L'Humanite and La Verite, two
Socialist organs, the actions of one
of the French delegates at the press
conference was grossly misrepresented
by asserting that he was in favor of
secrecy. Saint-Brice, after vindicat
ing himself, adds Significantly:
I'm not one of those who consider
as sufficient reparation the exposure
of the defamer, and 1 reserve to my
self the right of further action"
This is taken to mean challenge
to duel The American correspond.
ents are determined to attend this
event if it comes off as, after all, it
would be an offshoot Of the peace con-
ference to which the publicity rule
would not apply.

WHY GRAHAM CASE
WAS CONTINUED
Former Attorney General Barber Says
Plea Was Expected Which Would
Not Require a Trial.

Former Attorney General Herbert c.
Barber was asked today why the state
asked for a continuance of the case against
former Governor Horace +. Graham
charged in the Washington county court
with Incorporating state funds when
the attorneys for the state knew that
the case was set for trial tomorrow His
reply was that while he did not wish to
speak for Attorney General Archibald and
while he did not know definitely that he
was to assist in the case until last Thurs
day, he had been given to understand that
the case would be disposed of on a plea
satisfactory to the state without a trial
For that reason, little preparation for
a trial had been made by the state and
when Mr.. Graham's plea in bar was filed
which Mr.. Barber says does not answer
the indictment and which he believes vii
avail nothing, it was considered neces
sary to make careful preparations for {
trial, which could not be done without
continuance.

RECTIFIES REPORTS
REGARDING DUNTON
John B. Dunton, Jr., Says Father AL
ways Maintained Order in Home,
but Never Unreasonably.

To the People of Brattleboro:-
| am taking this means to rectify a
number of reports and rumors which
have been circulated through this town
during the past few months regarding
nv father, John B. Dunton, of this
town.
First:-M father was not born in
Germany. nor were his parents Ger
mans. He was born in Hope, Me-, and
his forefathers lived in Maine for at
least four generations before him.
Second:-He has never to my know
ledge treated anyone or anything bru-
tally He has been stern and strict and
always maintained order in our home,
but never unreasonably. He has always
obeyed the laws of common decency
and expects those about him to do
the same.
Third:-The recent civil suit against
him was not settled out of court be-
cause we feared the outcome, but rather
because a decent respect for the family
name impels us to protect it as much as
possible from scandal and public com.
ment. We are not entirely barbarians
even though newspaper accounts seem
to make us out so.s
Fourth:-I did not refuse to testify
or be mixed up in this ease as a recent
article in the local paper stated. THAI
was only one of many lies circulated by
those interested.
In closing l wish to assure everybody
| that / am in no way ashamed, but ra
| ther proud, to be known to the public
