SOUGHT TO REMOVE NAME
O'Brfen Asked to Take Name From
Roll Az AttOrney-Denied Dis
barment Hearing to Proceed

Montpelier, Jan. 2l-Another petition
was presented by Ernest O'Bren of Rut-
land to-day in Supreme Court in which
he asked the right to have his name
stricken from the role as an attorney in
this State, which was denied him. Then
he was allowed to file an answer to the
complaint which the State has made
against him In the disbarment uproceed-
ings. OBrien's attorneys asked that his
name be removed because he is not in
condition to defend the proceedings now
under way.
The court questioned the attorneys
closely as to why the action was taken.
He did not ask that the disbarment pro-
ceedings be stopped nor that perjury
charge be dropped, but wanted the right
to have his name removed from the roll,
which the State commended was an action
to continue the disbarment proceedings
until after the perjury charges were dis
posed of. He did not want to have the
petition granted II 1t carried with II that
O'Brien was guilty Of the complaint made
against him. Following the decision that
he could not allow his name dropped from
the roll the court offered him the chance
to re-enter his answer against the bill OF
complaint or to enter ''nollo contendere'
to the charge. He elected the former. so
that the hearing at Rutland will go ahead,
the attorneys having left here tonight to
begin the hearing that will probably take
10 days.

MANY FLU CASES At RANDOLPH
One Hundred and Sixty six Cases RE-
ported There and At Randolph
Center-SchOOls Close

Randolph. Jan. 19.-The influenza sit
uation has not improved in the last
few days. but the conditions are the
same, with large number of cases,
which, though with fewer fatalities,
are serious. At Randolph Center there

ton on his farm buildings, aside from

ton, in connection with the income tax,
Is that wear and tear caused by use in
earning income is a real expense in the
earning of that income. The rate is
determined by the number of years
that the property ordinarily would be
useful. and the cost of the property is
the basis of the computation. II the
property suffering depreciation was
bought or acquired prior to March I.

Is used, instead Of the cost, in figuring
depreciation.
