the municipal court here last night, was
held by Judge Addison L. Cudworth for

ceny. The court fixed bail at $500. The
woman could not furnish bail and was
locked up by Sheriff Frank l.. Wellman.
Mrs. John is one OF party of 20 or
more gypsies who have been travelling

when the officer was coming through the
town Dwight Kelsey, farmer in that
town, said one Of the women robbed

COMMUNITY HOUSE REPORT
Was Submitted to a Meeting of Barre
People Last Evening.

At the city court rooms last evening,
the community house committee, as well
as many interested in the project, among
whom were group of high school boys,
assembled to learn of the progress of the
proposition. The reports of the commit.
tee appointed to examine the Buzzell
property now under consideration to be
used as a community house were read.
Figures showing the annual expenditures
for the year and the approximate in
come of the Hotel Buzzell, Hotel Otis,
the brick building next to the hotel, the
two.tenement house and the five-tene-
ment house, as well as all the automo-
bile stalls in front and behind the build
ings, disclosed the fact that should the
city decide to purchase the property for
the project in view, the income of the
property would more than cover the ex-
penses for the year and the interest on
the money, and, in time, pay for itself.
After thorough examinations of the
buildings, furnishings and surroundings,
the committee was favorably impressed
with the entire lot, as it proved the
buildings, inspected by Contractor A. b.

provements, though there is need for a
few changes. All Of the rooms in the
buildings are furnished, and the furnish
ings would be sold as part of the prop,
erty. No definite price has been set.
The fve-tenement house at the corner
Of Pearl and Summer streets was believed
to be as well equipped building for a
girls dormitory as could be procured in
the city
The adaptability of this property is
not as good as was at first thought, but
after various views had been exchanged
it was concluded that with the bowling
alleys removed and some changes in the
building a good-sized gymnasium could
be made, while the places now occupied
by saloons could be converted into large
reading rooms.
Mayor Glysson suggested that three of
the present committee of seven be ap-
pointed to investigate the sources for
financing this proposition, whereupon the
following were elected: Guy Varnum,
+. G. Rowland and Mrs. w, +. Shepard.

KOLCHAK GOVERNMENT
NOT FULLY RECOGNIZED
Allies Cannot Do That, Some Opinions
Hold, Because Recognition Has to-
Come from Individual Nations.

Paris, Friday, June 10 tBy the Asso-
ciated Press There is division Of
opinion in peace conference circles as to
the degree OF recognition accorded the
all ll-Russian government at 0msk by tho
note sent to Admiral Kolchak by the
council Of five. Some delegates insist
that ii the action of the council were
really recognition Of Kolchak govern
ment, it should be given representation
in the conference Others maintain the
conference cannot give recognition to any
government, as individual nations must
take such action separately.
Boris A. Kakhmeteff, former Russian
ambassador to the United States, said
the reverses suffered by the Kolchak
troops on the southern branch of the
Trans Siberian railroad were due to a
too speedy movement westward without
adequate protection to the army's line
of support He said that the two north
ern columns Of the Kolchak army were
moving against the yolga region with
success.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
is A LIBERATOR
Declared John Randall Dunn, c. S., in
Address Last Night at Rowland
Hall--Applies Doctrine to
Present Day Conditions.

An address on Christian Science was
given at Rowland hall last evening by
John Randall Dunn, c. s., of St Louis,
Mo. The lecturer was introduced by
Clayton s. Meaker, who said
Long ago, the prophet, Isaiah, wrote:
"Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come ye
to the waters, and he that hath no mon
ey; come We, buy, and eat. Yea, come
buy wine and milk, without money and
without price" To-day Christian Sci
ence is repeating this message and offers
to the world the priceless understanding
of Truth.
You have been invited to this lecture
to listen to one who is able to tell you
something of its principle and rule.
1t now gives me great pleasure to in
troduee to you, John Randall Dunn, c. s,
of st. Louis, Mo, member of the board
of lectureship of the First Church of
Christ, Scientist Of Boston, Mass
The widespread interest in the subject
of Christian Science in this and other
lands, is traceable directly to the fact
that enslaved mortals are finding in it's
spiritual teaching that liberator graph
ieally pictured by Isaiah as sent ito
preach good tidings unto the meek;
:. I. to bind up the brokenhearted to pro-
claim liberty to the eaptives, and the
opening OF the prison to them that are
bound" The attempts of some mis-
informed critics to prove that Christian
Science is not this liberator, that the
sick are not healed, the SHINING reformed,
nor the sorrowing comforted through its
ministrations, are of course of little mo-
ment in the presence of an ever increas-
ing host Of witnesses testifving to the
fact that whereas they were bound ply
sically, mentally, or morally, now they
are experiencing through the teachings
of Christian Science a greater measure
of health, freedom, and happiness than
they have ever known.
This Tragic Moment in History.
We are without doubt living in one of
the most tragic moments in history. On
all sides are evidences Of the most ter
rife upheaval the world has ever wit
messed. Desolation and disturbances of
nature seem to prevail, and want, woe,
and discord stalk abroad in the earth
What does it mean? How are we to
stand? Christian Science gives the only
rational explanation of this mighty
worldwide fermentation. 1t tells us not
to be dismayed, but to realize that as
the mud in rivers bed must be stirred
and brought to the surface in order to
purify the stream see Science and
Health, p. 540), just so must the latent
errors of the earth, national as well as
individual, be brought to the surface and
