TOOK MONEY FROM COLLEAGUE
E. o. Chester Fined $50 for Grand Lar
ceny, on Pleading Guilty.

L. o. Chester, a veteran of the Cana
dian army, who carries q bullet wound
received in action. was before Barre city
court to-day on the charge of grand lar
ceny from one of his colleagues in pic
ture-enlarging campaign which has been
conducted off and on in Barre since Mon
day of this week. The circumstances of
the affair we're so involved that Judge
Scott was inclined TO show leniency and
imposed fine of $50, with costs Of 81 .05,
the alternative, sentence being 300 days
in the house of corrections.
Chester, whose home il in Ottawa
where he has a wife and four children,
has been with the picture enlarging house
only since March 3, and he claimed to
Grand Juror Wishart that he was dis
satisfied with the business being done
and wanted to get back 10 the headquar-
ters of the house in Syracuse, n. ", so
he took a pocketbook from the clothing
of Robert H. Field, the leader of the
canvassing party in Barre, while the lat
ter was asleep in the Buzzell on Pearl
street, and had gone as far as Montpelier
when he was apprehended last night.
Field claimed there was $3.50 in the
poeketbook, but Chester, in admitting
before the court to-day that he took the
poeketbook, said there was only S83.
When searched after his arrest, the sum
of S77 and some cents was found on his
person. Field still insisted in court that
there was $3.50 in the pocketbook yester-
day afternoon.
When permitted to address the court,
Chester readily admitted that he took
four $40 bills and three 81 bills, and no
more. He also absolyed Harry Lambert,
another canvasser, of any blame in the
matter. He had tried TO induce Lambert
to 90 away with him, but Lambert had
backed out at the last minute, Chester
told straightforward story in court
and said he was willing to take all the
blame.
Grand Juror Wishart recommended a
light fine. He said that Chester served
in the Canadian army and still carries a
bullet in one hung, the German missile
being so near the heart that an opera
tion could not be performed, He was
not able to reconcile the statements of
Field aud Chester as to the amount of
money in the stolen pocketbook, but he
thought there might be chance that
Field was mistaken in the amount At
this point Chester asked for permission
to speak to the court, and he said that
only two hours had elapsed between the
time Of the taking of the pocketbook
and his apprehension in Montpelier, so
he said it would have been scarcely pos
time. Moreover, he said, he would have
been just as willing to splead guilty to
taking $3.50 as SS3.
After consultation with the grand iur-
or, Judge Scott imposed the fine as
above mentioned and mol pressed the
case against Harry Lambert, who was
spprehended in Barre at 10 o'clock last
night.

RECOMMENDS KEEPING
BOTH STATE SCHOOLS
And That the State Adopt a Fixed Policy
as Regards Randolph and Lyndon
Agricultural Schools.

The report Of the special committee
from the legislature appointed to VI !
the Vail agricultural school at Lyno
and the Vermont school Of agriculture Al
Randolph recommends that both be re-
tanned as state schools on the basis of
their present appropriations and that a
fixed policy on the part of the state be
adopted in regard to these schools.
This committee also recommended that
the direct management of the Vail
school and farms be vested in the state
board of education and that the board
of control be given authority to start
an investigation with the view Of ascer-
tanning the nature of the fund now in
possession of the lessons as stated in the
lease given by the trustees of the Orange
county grammar school and trustees of
the state normal school at Randolph to
the state Of Vermont.
The committee reports excellent condi-
tions in both the Vail school and the
state school at Randolph and thinks that
the attendance should be larger at both
these institutions. It is suggested that
the reasons why the attendance has not
been larger during the last year or two
is on account of war conditions, unrest
and uncertainty about the future of the
institutions themselves, lack of knowI-
edge about them and erroneous impress
sions.
To remedy this situation and increase
the attendance during the coming year
the committee urges fixed and staple
policy on the part of the state, as above
noted and a promulgation of literature
stating the truth about these institu-
tions.

ARE PROLIFIC WRITER'S.
American Troops Are Also Active Collec'
tors of Souvenirs.

Washington, d. c., March 22.-Smee
the American troops overseas have
stopped fighting they have taken to let
terwriting and remembering friends at
home with souvenirs from the battle
fields in France. This was indicated to-
day by postofice department an
nouncement that the amount of mail
from the American expeditionary force
had increased more than 20 per cent
since cessation of hostihties.
The volume of souvenirs sent back to
the United States by parcel post may
be measured by the ton, the department
asserted and they consist Of all manner
of odds and ends Curios sent most by
the soldiers are shell cases, parts of rifles
and reviewers, bayonets, uniform but
tons and small fragments Of demolished
German airplanes Captured German hell
NETS, however, are the most priced tok-
en-. Nearly 100000 Of these have come
through the mail since the war began.
Postal requirements have been relaxed
so that they now can be sent unwrapped
with only a shipping tag for the address.
Soldiers who cannot obtain souvenirs
to send to all their friends at home con-
tent themselves with writing letters. In
February nearly 22,000,000 letters were
sent from Bordeaux alone Frequently
II to Is letters day have been sent
by a soldier, and one private estab-
lished a record by writing 30 in single
day.
Mail from this country to the troops
overseas now is being delivered with
few delays, the officials said, since ad-
dresses Of soldiers are not changed as
often as before the armistice. Improper
addressing of the mail now is the only
source of trouble, it was stated.

BRITISH DOMZNOMS MAY
DECLINE TO TAKE PART
IN A GENERAL LEAGUE

day. One possible solution Of the prob
lem now under consideration is that mil
itary experts of the supreme council,
who have discharged themselves of Ger
man war issues, should at once consider
the Italian claims, under instructions to
present solution in time to secure ac-
tion upon them simultaneously with the
disposition of the German peace treaty.
One difficulty is the lack Of a competent
government in Austria with which to ne
gotiate. Another is the distribution
among the new states formerly part of
Austria of the proper share of war in
IDENTITIES which they must assume.
In the meantime Rear Admiral Philip
Andrews, who has been in command Of
the American naval base at Cardiff,
Wales, is going to the Adriatic to take
command of American forces there, re-
Heving Rear Admiral Albert P. Niblack.

PRESENCE OF CHARLES
IN AUSTRIA DESIRED
Pressure to Force Him to Leave the
Country Has Not Been Brought
Some Insist That He Change
Remuneration of Throne
to Abdication.

Copenhagen, March 22.--The Vienna
government has once more notified for
mer Emperor Charles that it is desirable
that he quit the country, but no pres,
sure has been brought to bear to force
him to leave, according to. telegrams
received here from the Austrian capital.
It Is declared that the maintenance Of a
court at Eckartsau which it has been
said former Emperor Charles would hold,
is contrary to the new constitution
adopted by the national assembly. Some
commentators insist that the former EN-.
peror convert his remuneration of the
throne last November into an abdication
for himself and the house of Hapsburg.

DRAMA LEAGUE OFEERS PRIZES

Such plays as Los Pastores" are to
have a worldwide revival if the
Drama League has its way. Prizes
of $500, $3.50 and 500 are offered
by the league for the best three plays
along that line submitted. Strictly
speaking, it is a religious play that is
wanted, a miracle play such as in
structed, delighted and amused the
masses centuries ago, not only in
Spain and Italy. but also in England
and right here in New Mexico. The
word religious is used in its broadcast,
-seetarian sense, signifying spirit
ual drama, with the Bible directly or
indirectly the source of the subject
matter and inspiration. 1t is stated
that the plays may be either one-act
or full length, although only full
length plays may receive first prize.
The Drama League takes this step
as an impetus to the growing appreci-
alton of the spiritual as the highest
and deepest of all stage motives as
we'll as to end the long period of
enlargement between the church and
the stage. English-speaking drama
began with an expression Of the
spiritual instincts of man, and its first
home was in the church. The belief
is expressed that in this era there is

structure as it appeared the day that
General Kearny raised the stars and
Stripes over it on August IS. lS46.
The half-tone is taken from Twiteh-
ellis "The Military Occupation of New
Mexico" There are biographies and
pictures of two New Mexico heroes,
James Walton Humphrey and Ward
c. Turner, who gave their lives in the
great war. The usual literary art and
historical notes give a rapid-fire re-
view of cultural matters in the south
west. The New Mexico Journal of
Education is also from press this
week. As customary it gives one page
to New Mexico art and artists, and an
other page to New Mexico verse, upon
the theory that proper state pride Is
the basis for real patriotism and that
New Mexico IS as much a literary and
art center as any of the great states
of the east. A powerful plea for bet
ter pay for teachers is given promi-
nent place. Miss Cassie Spencer. of
the New Mexico Normal university,
continues her admirable and helpful
articles on rural education and prob
lens. Several pages. including Illus
trations, are given to Raton's new
gymnasium, the finest IN the south

an expenditure of 1000. There are
