Have Been Other Disturbances
Along the Adriatic Coast.

lomatic negotiations, made this known
in long conversation with one OF the
American peace commissioners before his
departure The particular reason ad-
vanced by the Italian peace delegate was
the increasing friction between French
and Italian troops in Fiume, and else
where along the Adriatic further evi-

FOOD PRICES CUT;
ITALIANS ARE HAPPY
Kings Commissioner Decreed Reduction
of so Per Cent in Eatables--Res-
taurants and Cafes Ordered to
Lower Their Rates 80
Per Cent.

Florence, Monday July shops in the
city were to-day overrun with bargain
hunters. Many stores had completely sold
out their stocks before noon. The cor
respondent visited thickly settled sec
lions of the city to-day and saw the
violent eagerness of men, women and
children, seeking TO secure eatables,
clothing, .drygoods, shoes and chocolates.
These articles were sold only on the
presentation of q card from the prefect' 8
office, SO that only residents of Florence
will be able to benefit from the price re-
duction.
1t was learned to-day that working
mems committees deliberately chose the
stores they wished to have ransacked.
These included places which were al
legged to have violated governmental reg
ulations and war restrictions in selling
prohibited articles of food at exorbitant
prices, thereby making fabulous profits.
The kings commissioner for Florence
issued proclamation to-day placing the
population on rations and decreeing re-
duction in prices approximating so per
cent in eatables. Restaurants and cafes
were ordered to lower their rates 30
per cent.
The civil authorities have admitted
that they were unable to cope with the
disorders during the last few days and
the merchants, seeing IT was impossible
to prevent enforced sales, placed their
stocks at the disposal Of the working.
mems committees to the best advantage
possible, They admitted that the arbi-
trary reductions Of prices which have
been decreed are certain to cause enor-
nous losses

There is apparently no really consti-

ONLY TACIT AGREEMENT.
That Trial of Ex-Kaiser Should Take
Place in London.

Paris, Monday, July What pur-
ports to be an authentic account Of the
incident in the allied council upon which
Premier Lloyd George based his recent
statement that former Emperor William
would be tried in London has become
available from usually reliable source.
1t is stated that at a meeting of the
council last week the British premier
said to his fellow conferees something
as. follows;
II suppose you have no objection to
the trial of the kaiser in London"
The premier looked about the circle,
the account continues, and no one OBJ
jected Indeed, it is said, Premier Gle
menceau gave his oral approval.
This tacit agreement was never re-
corded in writing and Sir Maurice Han
ky, the British secretary, did not in
clude it in his regular report Of the pro-
ceedings in the council The assumption
is, however, it was added, that Premier
Lloyd George later had unofficial CON
versations on the subject with one or
more members Of the council,

panies in Montpelier and Barre since
1911, will complete his services with the
companies the last Of this month and
viii about Aug. | 60 to Norwich, Conn
where he is to be general manager OF
two companies, the Eastern Connecticut
Power company and the Shore Line Elec.
tric Railway company. The two com
panes are similar to those of which Mr.
Larrabee has been in charge here. The
companies are connected with the Plant
estate, one of the biggest of southern
New England
This comes in the line of promotion
for Mr.. Larrabee, for he goes to bigger
concerns. The power company does a
wholesale business and is disposing OF
about $4,000 kilowatts against about 49,.
900 sold here in retail market, while the
business is increasing all the time The
street electric railway company has 24G
miles of track against that operated be.
tween Montpelier and Barre.
Mr.. Larrabee came to Montpelier Aug
|, 1908, and was in the electrical busi.
ness for time and then July 3, 1910
became connected with the Consolidated
Lighting & Power company and the Viles
plant, which had been purchased, and
known as the Vermont Power company
He was first employed as superintendent
and in March, 1911, he was made man.
ager of the interests here. Since that
time the companies have been reorgan
lied so that his field of work has beer
increased to considerable extent.
During the II years he has been asso.
ciated with the electrical business In
Washington county he has become quite
factor in the activities in Montpelier
having been a director of the Board oi
Trade for some time. He has put forth
a great deal Of work in this organiza
tion. He has also entered into other ac
tiyities not only in Montpelier but ii
the other places where the companies dc
business. These included considerable
committee work on war activities. Mrs
Larrabee has also been associated with
considerable of Montpelier's social life
also with the Red Cross and other wal
work. Both have made large circle Of
friends in Montpelier, who regret theil
departure but wish them success in the
new home.
Naturally there is some speculation a:
to who will succeed Mr.. Larrabee. and il
is known that 4. A. Harris, Office man
ager, and Charles Cookson, superintend
ent, are being considered by the company
to take up the work when Mr.. Larrabee
