lessly in the sea. Three men, Lieutenant
j. S. Buchanan, Ensign John G. How
ard, and Bernard Tornes, radio oper-
ator, were in the machine. Searchers
who were in constant communication by
radio with the station, reported several
hours after they started that they had
found no trace of the flyers.
The first news that the seaplane was
in trouble came yesterday afternoon in q
wireless message from Lieutenant Blu.
ehanan, who said that engine trouble
had compelled him to land in the water
about halfway between Plymouth and
Provincetown. Patrol boats were imme-
diately sent out, but returned at dark
without locating the flyers. Meanwhile
another message from Lieutenant Bu
chanan said that the high wind was
carrying him toward Provincetown.
Fears were expressed to-day that a
change in the wind had driven the plane
out to sea.
The missing machine is Of the II type,
one Of the largest and most seaworthy
in use here, and officials at the air sta
tion said it would require an unusually
heavy sea to sink it. Extremely cold
weather prevailed off shore last night.
To-day snow storm added to the Diff
eulties OF the planes which were CON
ducting the search.

REPORTS FROM
ROME OMINOUS
Paris Fears Popular Demonstration at
Home May Sweep Away the
Prospects of Peace.

Paris, April 26.--The peace conference
is watching with intense interest the re-
suit of to-day's developments in Rome
morning and where the events of the day
are expected to disclose whether the
hopes of reconciliation can be realized
Reports received here from the Ameri-
can embassy in Rome are somewhat ON
inous as to the general state Of public
feeling there, as crowds have been pa
rading the streets, crying: Down with
the Americans" and "Down with the
English" and "Viva Sonnino," the for
eign minister who with Premier Orlando
pressed the Italian demands under the
secret treaty of London.
These reports are particularly disturb
ing, as the American and British delega-
tions to the peace conference are said to
have had reason to believe that Premier
Orlando might adopt a course before the
Italian parliament which would lead to
an amicable adjustment. Premier Lloyd
George was particularly hopeful that
these results would be brought about.
The reports of the popular agitation
at Rome and many other Italian centers,
however, have led to fears that the Ital-
ian prime minister's conciliatory atti-
tude may be swept away in an outburst
of feeling by the populace, which will
insist upon demands far beyond those
the council of the powers or President
Wilson will feel themselves able to ac-
cept.
1t has just developed that the British,
American and French admirals in com.
mand in Adriatic waters had formulated
a plan for giving Italy certain of the
Dalmatian islands, which would have in
sured Italy of control of the Adriatic
such as she desires. This joint plan was
presented to the Italian representatives
and was rejected as not sufficient.
Meanwhile the plans for receiving the
German delegates to the peace congress
are proceeding, it being thought probable
that meeting with the Germans will take
place next Wednesday, April 30, by
which time the complete draft of the
treaty Of peace is expected to be ready
The chief task of the council of three
to-day and tomorrow will be to settle
a large number of small details still re-
naming open, together with some larger
questions, including the disposition OF
the first line German warships.

NAN SHOT TO DEATH
At ESSEX JUNCTION;
ANOTHER ARRESTED
Charles H. Clifford, Aged SIS, Was the
Victim and Daniel Farnham, Aged
1o, Is Alleged to Have Done
the Killing.

Essex Junction, April 26.--A family
quarrel last evening about o'clock at
the home of Mrs. Mary Sherman on East
street resulted in the shooting and death
of Charles II. Clifford, aged 55, who
lived at the Sherman residence. The
shooting was done by Mrs. Sherman's
son, Daniel Farnham, aged 10. Two shots
were fired with a 80 2-calibre revolver. One
passed through the head under the left
eye and the other through the heart.
Death was instantaneous.
After the young man had accomplished
the deed he walked across the street and
looked up Constable j. P. Flynn, who
happened to be standing in w. S. Fletch-
er's store. He asked that the constable
accompany him to his home, where his
mother wanted to see him. Upon their
arrival at the Sherman house, Mrs. Sher-
man told her tale of what had happened
and Showed Mr.. Flynn the dead mans
body in an adjoining room.
A warrant was issued by States At
torney Allen Martin for the arrest of
Farnham, who was thereupon lodged in
Chittenden county Jail. The body of
Clifford was removed to A. d. Douglas
undertaking rooms, where an autopsy
was performed to-day by DR.. B. II.
Stone
The people concerned in the affair
moved into town three weeks ago, com
ing here from Worcester, Mass, previous
to which time they had lived in New
Hampshire.
Young Farnham has been employed by
Ernest Martin in the street department
since his arrival here. The older man,
Clifford, did teaming and odd jobs OF
garden work.

PRES. WILSON'S
ACTION "ENDORSED
EVERYWHERE
AS the Result of the Receipt
of This Message, the Ten
sion Which Has Prevailed
in Administration Quar-
ters in Washington for
Three Days Was Relaxed.

Washington, D. c. April 26.-The Ital-
ian situation in the peace negotiations is
clearing rapidly" according to advices
from Paris, received to-day at the White
House.
II was stated that the action taken by
President Wilson was endorsed every
where" Just what developments were
taking place was not disclosed, but it
was evident that as a result of the mes
sage, the tension which has prevailed in
administration quarters for the past
three days was completely relaxed.
Sec Lane Issues Statement.
Secretary Lane to-day issued brief
statement explaining as he said, "one
or two matters connected with the Fiume
situation that should not be overlooked" /"
He said:
"Fiume was not to be given to Italy
by the secret treaty made on Italy's en-
trance into the war, called the London
treaty. Under this treaty Fiume was to
90 to Croatia, which now is part of
Jugo Slavia. And this is where Presi-
dent Wilson wishes it to go now.
THE question of giving Fiume to Italy
thus becomes a question of Judgment,
and President Wilson and Premiers
Lloyd George and Clemenceau unitedly
concluded that to give Fiume TO Italy
would be unjust to the new republics
east of the Adriatic, as Fiume is the
only port on the eastern side of the
Adriatic which can be serviceable as a
sea entrance to Jugo-Slayia and adjoin-
ing countries.
"The Italian claim is based on Italian
desire, not on any right other than the
claim that as its people are Italians they
should become part of Italy as they
were hundred years ago. But to graft
fy this desire now would be manifestly
to wrong others and thus maintain sore
spot on the Adriatic which would cause
constant irritation. Italy, with Venice
and Trieste, can live happily and inde-
pendently without Fiume, while the
young republics on the east of the Ad-
riatc could have free life without ac.
cess directly to the world by water"

pointment of receiver and the granting
of an injunction against John B. Eames
as manager of the Park Amusement
company. Inc, was concluded yesterday
before Chancellor Frank L. Fish at

Amusement company, John B. Eames
and Elizabeth F. Goodwin, denied the al
legations of the plaintiff, Charles Zan-
leoni, and submitted the audits Of
Messrs. Burley and Hanson ut Mont=
peier and other evidence to show that
all receipts and disbursements since the
corporation began business in the fall OF
1915, were correctly kept and accounted
for and that the corporation is solyfnf.
The chancellor decided that there was
no cause shown for the appointment OF
receiver or for the granting of an in
junction and Mr.. Eames will continue as
manager of the Park Amusement CO.

"The Cottage as Place for
Saloon Protested by the
Morse Block Owner
MONTPELIER LICENSES
AWARDED TO-DAY
Barre's List Is Likely to Be
Cut Down, as Montpel-
ier's Quota Was

Objection against one location, "The
Cottage" at PAS North Main street, was
the only protest presented before the
Washington county license commission
ers at the regularly advertised hearing
on the applications for liquor licenses in
Barre to date from May I, which was
held yesterday afternoon at the city
court room. The objection to "24S" was
from the owner of the Morse block,
Clyde w. Perry, and from one Of the
commercial tenants, A. w. Badger, the
protest of the owner being in written
form and that of the latter in an oral
statement from Attorney H. W. Scott
In addition, Mr.. Perry protested that
Commissioner Ward was disqualified
from sitting on the deliberations con-
cerning "The Cottage on the ground
that he is the owner Of the property.
Mr.. Perry's objection to the placing of a
saloon of any kind at that location was
based on the contention that the Morse
block is a dwelling occupied by Is fam
lies, besides three business concerns,
and, moreover, the building is located
within % feet, to wit, 10 feet, from the
proposed saloon building In making a
statement for Mr.. Badger, Attorney
Scott said Mr.. Badger knew that the To-
sation of a saloon so near would injure
his business as much rs $4,000 year
because of the "drunks" who would gath
er in that neighborhood and prevent ap-
proach to and from his store under cir
cumstances that would be satisfactory.

number granted viii be less than that.
