Report Culbcrson An "Anti."
With the republicans presenting n
solid front OF forty nine votes. n ma
jority of two, the weakening of the
democratic forces demanding the un-
qualified ratification of the treaty be-
came still more apparent II was re-
ported that Senator Sulberson, oil
Texas, one OF tho "old fashioned"
democrats, was ready to Join some OF
his southern colleagues in supporting
reservations to bring about the promp,
ratification OF the treaty. When asked
about these reports, Senator Culber-
son said:
Il am not yet ready TO be inter-
viewed on that subject"
Lodge Report in Tomorrow.
Senator Lodge will report the treaty
as amended. with the reservation pro-
gram at its head, on Wednesday. The
treaty will be accompanied with a re-
port setting forth the purposes Of the
reservations and amendments. empha-
sizing their necessity for the clear
protection of American interests. Sem
ator Hitchcock will make the minority
report on the following day and all
will then be set for the beginning OF
the hattie.
Efforts were afoot to bring the con-
test to a speedy close, but prospects
were not very bright. Despite the
desire Of both sides to get the pact
out of the way. II seemed likely thae
individual senators would have. so
much to say about certain pet aver
slons in the document that final ac-
ton would hardly be reached before
Oct l.
The two Iowa senators, Cummins
and Kenyon. seemed little impressed
by President Wilson's visit among
constituents. Senator Cummins said
he not only favored the Lodge pro-
gram. but would like to see II
strengthened In some respects. Sem
ator Kenyon likewise favors the en-
tire program and expects TO make q
speech within few days. declaring
his antipathy towards any proposal OF
a mild" or "tepid" character TO pro-
tect american interests.
Senator Kenyon said that the presi-
dents reception in Des Moines conio
not be regarded as an index OF the
Iowa sentiment because he had Ions
ago believed the city Of Des Moines
favored the league.
Can't Meet in October.
II Is now virtually certain that the
first meeting Of the league of nations
will not be held in washington IN
October as originally planned. Should
the senate ratify the treaty In time to
permit delegates to arrive FOR meet
ing In November. It probably Will be
held then. but If the discussion Is much
protracted. the meeting time is cx-
pected to go over until the first OF the
new year some time In January, 1920
There probably could be no meeting In
December because II Is irconvenient
for some Of the foreign delegates to
come at that time. The first meeting
OF the league council. however. can be
called anytime after three OF the prin-
cipal powers have ratified the treaty.

CAPT. CHAMBERLAIN'S
EXPLOITS INVESTTC4TE
Stories Of Conspicuous Conduct in Battle
Have Been the Bone of Contention
for Some Time.
for Some Time.

London, Feb. 5.-For some time there
has been talk of an investigation con
eerning the case of Captain Edmund G.
Chamberlain of San Antonio, Texas, an
officer of the United States marine corps,
who was reported last summer as hay
ing, while on furlough, joined British
aviation squadron on the battle front
and achieved a notable victory in the air
over the Germans and, when forced to
land by reason of a damaged machine,
made his exploit more brilliant by taking
a German prisoner and carrying back to
the British lines a wounded Frenchman,
notwithstanding the heavy fire of the
enemy directed against him.
To-day the headquarters Of the United
States navy here gave The Associated
Press the following statement on the
case
"Some time ago report was received
that Captain Chamberlain had rendered
conspicuous service in France Later
there arose certain questions as to the
authenticity of the circumstances, as re-
ported.
For the benefit of Captain Chamber
lain, as well as for the good of the naval
service, it was decided that full and
complete investigation should be made
of all the circumstances in the case. This
investigation now is in progress, with
the object Of clearing all doubt.
Captain Chamberlain is in France as.
sisting in the investigation, He is not
under any sort of restraint
A dispatch from London, Aug. 81 last,
said that the then Lieutenant Chamber
lain, who is a graduate of Princeton and
the University OF Texas, had received 81
multaneous recommendations for the
Victoria cross and the Congressional med
al Of honor for an exploit July 20 over
the British front in a battle with Il
German machines Lieutenant Chamber
lain, it was reported, destroyed five OF
the enemy planes and damaged two 9TH
ers, and, sweeping earthward with his
own plane damaged by the German fire
scattered a detachment of enemy soldiers
The dispatch added that Chamberlain
after landing successfully fooled three
German soldiers whom he encountered
into believing his compass was q bomb
forced two of them to flee, and captured
the other. Then, still keeping his captive
Chamberlain found a wounded French Of
ficer and carried him back to safety into
the British lines, crossing a stream under
heavy fire by the Germans, 1t was as,
serted that he refused to give his name
to the British officer in command of the
aerial forces on that sector, because Of
fear of being reprimanded by his own
commander, The major, however. was
unable to keep the matter quiet, accord
ing to the story, and the full details
were made part of his official report ot

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 5.-Merrick w

bank of this city, of which he was the
chief teller, was to-day sentenced to i'm
prisonment for five years by Judge Ed
win S. Thomas in the United States
court in this city. Chaplin was arraigned
on five counts. He was sentenced for a
year and a day on the first, and FIVE
years each on the other four, all SEN
tences to run concurrently, making a to-
tai of only five years. His wife was in
the courtroom.
In a plea to the court for clemency,
Edward w. Broader, counsel for Chaplin,
declared that the man used the money
for the support of his family and that
be was not "an eXtravagant liver" as
had been charged by District Attorney
John F. Crosby. Mr.. Broader said that
the accused had never denied his guilt or
sought to escape its consequences. Cha
pin received his sentence without word.
Chaplin was connected with the bank
for about 80 years, up to his arrest a
few weeks ago, He was greatly respect
ed and the revelation Of his embezzle-
ment was q shock to society.

London, Feb. 5.--There was no inn

in London. All the tubes and under
ground lines except the Metropolitan,
which has only one line running into the

The hotels and restaurants, while able

Director General Hines of the Railroads
Agrees That the Railroad Ques-

Presidential Election.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 5.--Out OF a
colloquy between Director. General Hines
and Senator Pomerene of Ohio, at hear
ing to-day before the Senate interstate
commerce committee, developed a elarii-
cation of diverging views on the ques-
tion of extending government control of
railroads.
Senator Pomerene, speaking as a legis-
lator, said he could not understand why
the director-ge general should ask Congress
to turn over to him for five years the
management Of tremendously valuable
properties in order to permit him to work
out some plan OF reorganization not yet
fully formulated.

GIVEN FAREWELL DINNER.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Abbott Guests of
Quarry Bank People.

A farewell dinner in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. p Abbott, who are soon to go to
California to reside, was given at Hotel
Barre last night by the directors and en-
ployes of the Quarry Savings Bank &
Trust Co., in which institution Mr. Alb
bott is a director. There were "a in the
party, all the directors and officers Of
the bank being present with a single ex-
ception.
At each plate was placed an attractive
menu card folder depicting on the upper
cover a pretty Dutch scene and bearing
on the other pages the menu, the officers,
directors and attaches Of the bank and
space for autographs OF those present.
The menu had more or less California
favor, nearly all the food served having
some familiar California name affixed to
il on the menu card, while oranges and
lemons were served with every course. 1t
should be stated in this connection that
Mr.. Abbott is planning to operate fruit
ranch in California. At the bottom Of
the menu card was the notification: "All
fruits from the Abbott Daylight Grove,
California"
After the serving of the dinner Presi-
dent Ben A. Eastman of the bank pre-
sented diamond stickpin to Mr.. Abbott
in behalf of the board of directors and a
bouquet of handsome flowers to Mrs. Alb
bott. for which response was made in a
very feeling manner. The banquet was a
most delightful occasion, although tinged
with regret over the prospective depart
ure of Mr. and Mrs, Abbott from the city.

MRS. MARY PREsTINI
Died at Her Home on Short Street Last
Evening of Pneumonia.

Mrs. Mary Prestini of II Short street
died at her home last evening of pneu.
monia, after an illness of about a weeks
duration. 1t came as great shock to her
many friends, as from last reports she
was resting more comfortably than she
had been during any other part OF her
sickness. Mrs. Prestini was born in Be
sano, Italy, in 1866. She came to this
country and TO Barre in 1888 and was
one of the earliest Italian women resi-
dents in this city. She was very well
known among the Italian colony and also
among other nationalities and was es.
teemed highly by everyone who knew
her, She was a model mother and wife.
She did not belong TO any societies, be-
cause she considered that her duties were
to her home. She buried her husband Ia
years ago and since that time has kept
house for her son and daughter.
She is survived by two sons, Italo, of
this city and Bennie, who is serving in
the L. S. army in France; a daughter,
Rosie, of this city; two brothers, Peter
Albinola of kellogg, Idaho, and Edward
Albinola of Wallace, Idaho; and cousin,
A. Albinola of Berlin street, this city.
The funeral is to be held at p. m,
Friday. and interment will be in the
Catholic cemetery.

So the Government Is Having Difficulty
in Transferring from Berlin to
Weimar, Where the National
Assembly Is to Meet.

Weimar Monday, Feb. Thy the As
sociated Press The process of tempo
rsrily transferring the German seat of
government from Berlin TO Weimar,
where the national assembly is to meet
Thursday, is expected TO be virtually
completed tomorrow when Count Brock
dorf Rantzau, the foreign secretary, will
reach here. The five members Of the
cabinet and the executive officials under
Chancellor Ebert arrived to-day and es-
tablished quarters in the palace,
The physical difficulties accompanying
the task OF the temporary transfer of
the government here comprises chiefly
an apparent shortage of manual labor
ers willing to haul and carry baggage.
The city has furnished an over supply
of candidates for posts Of honor, but the
members of the government have had
to search diligently for men willing
TO transfer the official baggage from the
station to the palace.
However, the cabinet, minus its official
records and other documents, managed
to hold an executive session in the pal
ace late to-day.
The present government considers that
its mandate expired with the convening
Of the constituent assembly and its first
task viii be to move the immediate ap-
pointment Of new coalition govern
ment, in the organization Of which party
interests will be eliminated.
The majority socialists will hold their
first party caucus Tuesday morning. The
German democratic faction will hold its
party meeting at Erfurt, near here.

PICKETS SNATCHED
DINNER PALS
OF the Textile Mill Workers at Law
renee, Mass, Until the Police
Interfered.

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 5.--~Strike
sympathizers who gathered about the
gates of the Arlington mill, one of the
IL textile plants here against which
strike was instituted on Monday to OBJ
tain 54 hours pay for as hours work,
attempted to snatch dinner pals from
operatives reporting for work to-day
and caused considerable excitement. The
police interfered before serious trouble
developed.
The Pemberton mills. employing 1900
hands, closed to-day for an indefinite
period because Of lack of sufficient help
to operate. The print works Of the Pa
cific mills also were shut down and no
effort was made to reopen the Everett
mills, which were closed all day yester-
day. The four mills OF the American
Woolen company opened their gates, but
the employees who reported for work
were sufficient to operate only few de-
partments.
