QUARRYM4N'S BURNS
RESULTED FATALLY
Wilber Clark, Aged so, Died in Barre
Hospital Last Night-Inhaled Flames
and Powder Fumes from Pre-
mature Ignition.

Wilber Clark, quarrSman wBo was
severely burned by the ignition of pow.
der at the No 10 quarry of Boutwell,,
Milne & Varnum in Graniteville Thurs
day, June 10, died at the City hospital
last night at midnight from the effects
Of the burns, The mans light side and
right arm and right side Of face were
badly burned, and it was supposed that
he inhaled flames and fumes from the
powder.
The accident happened while Clark was
placing powder into a seam hole for a
blast after having placed dirt in the hole,
according to the custom, No one knows
how the powder became ignited as the
exploder had not been placed in the
hole. One theory is that match dropped
out of Mr. Clark's pocket as he was
pouring the powder into the hole and was
ignited by being stepped on and another
is that his lighted pipe fell into the
hole with the dirt
Mr.. Clark would have been 81 years
old Dec. l3, and he was born in New
Hampshire. He had been employed for
more than % years in the Barre Town
quarry district and was an experienced
Guarryman, He leaves his wife and six
children, all of whom reside at home
with the exception Of daughter, Mrs.
Ernest Dickie, whose home is in Granite
Vile.

EVIDENCE DIDN'T HELP
In Reaching Judgment, and Case Will Be
Submitted on Briefs.

After Thursday afternoon had been
spent before the court in the trial of the
case of Harlan W. Kemp, trustee of the
trust fund in favor OF Harriet Putnam
against the estate of James W. Brock, it
was agreed to submit the matter on
briefs. The case is to recover $4,000
fund, which was left in trust for Harriet
Bailey by her father. G. G. Putnam, jr.,
was trustee, and the fund was never tax
en- from the property which for years
has been under the title Of G. G. Putnam
& Son. The defense used Virgil Ayers of
Barre as one of its witnesses. Mr.. Ayers
as an appraiser of the bankrupt estate
of G. G. Putnam & Son told of the ap-
praisal of the property, but could give
little evidence that helped on the case.
Ralph Brown was also witness. H. c.
Shurtlef, as the plaintiffs attorney,
placed written evidence before the court.
The Judgment which was entered some
weeks ago in the case of Jennie NJ. Cut
ting of Northfield VS.. John A. j. Cutting
of Ohio was allowed to stand with a
certain modification, which was that the
orator do not press his claim on the ac-
counts against Mrs. Cutting as admins
tratrix Of the estate Of Harvey Cutting
until after Nov /, 1919 The claim which
Mr.. Cutting had against the estate
amounted to $4,452, to which Mrs. Cut
ting filed an offset and took the case
into chancery court. The Judge recently
telephoned Mrs. Cutting about the filing
OF a Judgment which was directed, and
then yesterday Mrs. Cutting took excep.
tions to the judgment and the matter
was Strengthened out as stated above.
John Cutting for some years bought
mineral water of Harvey Cutting in st.
Lawrence county, N. Y, where it is esti-
mated that Harvey Cutting had half
million dollars worth of property. This
mineral water was shipped'to Ohio, John
Cutting loaned money to his brother, and
it was this money that he sought to re-
gain in probate court, which claim was
allowed.

CROWN PRINCE

Report of His Flight from

IS AT RESIDENCE ON
ISLAND OF WIERINGEN
Statement Sent Out by the
Dutch Government at
The Hague

The Hague, June 27.--Frederick vii.
liam Hohenzollern, the former German
crown prince, whose escape from Hol-
land to Germany had been reported, was
still at his residence on the island of
Wieringen in the Zuyder Zee this morn.
ing, it was officially announced here this
afternoon.
The fact that the former crown prince
was still at Wieringen was disclosed by
an official investigation made by the
Dutch minister of the interior.
Thursdays report OF the escape of the
former German crown prince from his in
ternment in Holland, it appears from
the available adyices, came from British
official sources in Paris. The accuracy of
the news apparently was accepted with
out question in peace conference circles.
As the hours passed without details of
the reported happening, doubts began to
arise that the British advices were cor
rect. One of the Paris newspapers even
suggested that the ex-crown prince had
been out on a lark within Dutch terri
torial limits and that this had given
rise to reports that he had fed into
Germany.
Until fuller cable advices are received,
however, the circumstances surrounding
the origin of the report can only be a
matter of speculation here.

WILSON BABE FAREWELL
TO FRANCE At BANQUET
Pres. and Mrs. Poincare Gave Dinner
Last Night in Honor of the Amer
ican President and
His Wife.

Paris, June 26.-The allies duty to be
vigilant in enforcing the peace terms
with Germany and tribute to American
participation in the war were among sub
iects discussed by President Poincare at
the dinner which he and Madame Poin-
care gave to President and Mrs Wilson
and delegates to the peace conference at
the presidential palace here tonight.
President Poincare's speech preceded that
of President Wilson, who bade formal
farewell to France and the French peo-
pie and gave as his thought the belief
that the work of the peace conference
had created friendship that would
make for an increasingly more intimate
sympathy between the peoples and great
er cooperation, economically.
The dinner was given in the great
Halle Des Fetes at horseshoe shaped
table with 230 covers laid. President
Wilson and President Poncare were seat
ed at the head of the table President
Poincare, in giving toast to President
Wilson, asked that he be allowed, at
the moment when his guest was prepar-
ing to leave Europe, to render homage
once more to the high spirit of justice in
which President Wilson had prepared,
with other representatives of the allied
and associated powers "this great labo-
rious peace in which the justice saved by
our victory is going TO definitely IN
scribe its will in favor of reparation."
After paying tribute to American par
ticipation in the war, reviewing the work
of the peace conference and outlining
what still remains to be done, President
Poincare said: "The treaties, once signed,
must be wholly applied and persistence
on our account will be no less indispen-
sable to their execution. The delegates
of the victorious countries have not met
during these long months and have not
convoked to Versailles the delegates of
conquered Germany in order to retain in
their hands nothing but a simple piece of
paper.
"The disposition shown by violations
in advance of a treaty that one is going
to undertake to respect, makes it our
duty to watch carefully to see that Grim
inal bands do not rekindle, sooner or
later, the confagration which has smoth-
cred.
