THREE SECRET TREATIES
A STUMBLING BLOCK
in All of Them the British Government
Figures as a Party-One Is Treaty
With Japan Over North
Pacific Islands.

Paris, Jan. 29.-In connection with the
territorial questions before it, the peace
conference is confronted by no less than
three secret treaties, says the Paris edi-
tion of the London Daily Mail to-day.
"The first is the treaty between Great
Britain, France and Italy, disposing of
the Adriatic coast, which conflicts vio-
lently with Jugo-Slav and Czecho-Slovak
interests" The Mail continues. "The
second is the treaty between Great Brit
ain and Japan, under which Japan gets
the German islands in the north Pacific
The third is the treaty between Great
Britain and the king of the Hedias, I'M
der which Damascus forms a part of the
territory given to the Hedias kingdom.

Matthews Found Preacher
on Bridge and Halls
Wife on Rocks
HALL TOLD WITNESS
HIS WIFE HAD FALLEN
Murder Trial at Saco, Me-,
Is Making Good
Progress

Saco, Me-, Jan. 29-Ernest J. Mat
thews, who discovered Henry Fl. Hall, the
lay preacher, on the embankment of a
brook at Wells Depot on the evening of
June IL, and the senseless form of the
preachers wife on the rocks 20 feet be-
low, was recalled to the stand when the
trial of Hall for murder was continued
to-day.
The state charges that Hall. having
beaten and choked his wife, threw her
from railroad bridge into the shallow
stream. This, according TO the prosecu-
tion was in furtherance of the preachers
plan to dispose of wife who was not in
good health and who was aware of his
attentions to other women.
Matthews, who is a railroad section
foreman, said he was crossing the rail-
road bridge near the station when he
noticed the preacher, who explained that
his wife had become dizzy and fallen
over the embankment. Hall said she had
struck in the water and that he had
dragged her out on the rocks. Matthews
found that Mrs. Hall was alive, and he
and Hall removed her to the parsonage.
She died at a hospital the next day.
Under cross examination to-day Mat
thews said that he first became aware Of
the presence of Hall near the bridge,
where he heard the preacher calling for
help.
Matthews testimony was corrobOrated
by his I6-yesr-oId daughter, Ida, who
was with him at the time. She said Hall
called to her father after they had passed
him.

SUPREME REGULATORY
BODY WITH MORE POWER
That Is Recommendation for Interstate
Commerce Commission By Edgar
!. Rich of Boston.

Washington. d. c., Jan. 29.-Mainte-
nance of the Interstate commerce com
mission as the supreme regulatory body,
with greatly enlarged powers, was rec
commended as the solution Of the railroad
problem upon the return of the carriers
to private ownership, before the Senate
interstate commerce committee to-day
by Edgar J. Rich of Boston, representing
the Associated Industries of Massachu-
sets.
Under his proposals the commission
would be given executive control over
both state and interstate rates and over
the issuance of securities; complete pow
'er to prescribe conditions for the COM
mon use of equipment and terminals by
the carriers, and authority to appoint a
board to make wage adjustments. Re-
gional commissions would be created to
handle details. MIR. Rich favored repeal
Of the ti-pooling and antitrust laws
in so far as they relate to the railroads.
While the interstate commerce COM
mission, Mr. Rich said, has been very
much criticized in certain quarters be-
cause it has not always been alive to
certain transportation problems, it has
established itself in the public's conf
denee, because of its integrity and the
fact that it has never been accused of be-
ing influenced by partisan political CON
siderations.

O. ". GRANCER'S LICENSE
HAS BEEN REVOKED
On Evidence from an Elderly Man That
He Bought Liquor By the Bottle at
a Saloon of First Glass.

The first.elass liquor license OF 0. n.
Granger, who operated a saloon at 4 Mer-
chant street, was revoked by the Wash
ington county license commissioners late
yesterday on the allegation that he vio-
lated his license by selling liquor by the
bottle. The license was revoked without
a hearing, in accordance with right Civ
en- to the license commissioners, in which
case the licensee is entitled to a pro rata
refund on his license fee, the amount in
this instance being $3.50.
The action was taken by the commits
sioners on statement by Abner Perkins
Of New Hampshire, man 63 years Of
age, who was recently before the Barre
municipal court. He carried some liquor
in bottle and when asked where he got
the stuff he readily consented to go with
an officer and point out the place They
made the rounds and when they came to
the Granger saloon the elderly man said
that was the place. Although no hear
ing was given, the license commissioners
acquainted Mr.. Granger with the nature
of the evidence; and he denied all knowl-
edge of such a transaction as Perkins
told about Notwithstanding that denial,
the commissioners revoked the license
and went before the city council in spe-
cial session last night to start the ma
chinery of operation so that the licensee
will receive his pro rata refund.
The procedure included the drawing of
a city warrant for $3.50. after which the
city win go to the state for reimburse
ment of the amount paid back to the
licensee.
This is the first time during the pres
ent license year that license has been
revoked in Barre, although during the
preceding year two licenses were revoked
for like cause; and the commissioners
gave warning that they would not stand
for any more Of the same kind of action.

WILSON is PLANNING
FOR SECOND TRIP
LATE IN SPRING
Much Will Depend on Progress Made BY
Peace Congress During the Next
Fifteen Days, Before He Re-
turns to United States.

Paris. Jan. 29.-Much as President
Wilson still hopes to avoid a second trip
to Europe, it begins to look as if the
trend Of peace conference affairs would
cause him to feel impelled to re-cross the
Atlantic in the early spring
The president is waiting to see what
the remaining fifteen days of his stay in
France will bring forth before finally de-
Gliding on his course.
He is said to have told American Off
cials that If events indicated the need of
his return he felt that his course would
be found fully justified when he ad-
dressed Congress, as he plans to do al
most Immediately on his return to the
United States. He has abandoned the
idea of returning by way of England
and stopping at Oxford to receive the de-
gree which that university desires TO
confer upon him. If his present plans
hold, therefore, he will sail from Brest
on the steamer George Washington, now
on her way to France, between Feb, 10
and Is, going direct to the United States.
The steamer will probably take the
southern route, which she followed on
her way over, to avoid bad weather.
President Wilson's arrival home with
plans for departing for Europe again
would bring up the question of-an extra
session of the new Congress with Repub-
lican maiorities in both houses. The best
available opinion here is that if an ex-
ira session should be thought inevitable
the president would call it before his re-
turn to France, probably setting the date
ahead to some time in June, expecting to
finish the business of the peace confer
ence in time to return to Washington
and being in the White House when the
new Congress assembled.

PART OF BONDS WILL
HAVE TO BE REFUNDED
The Combined Sinking Funds
Amount to About $4,000
Many Annual Reports
Were Submitted at the
Aldermen's Meeting Last
Evening.

A budget including an estimated in
come of $500, ,SS4.65 and an estimated ex,
penditure of S456,0020l, with tax rate
of $3.50 was submitted to the Barre
board Of aldermen last evening by the
finance committee in making recommeu-
dations for the year 1870 These expen-
ditures would be large increase over
the payments made last year, the total
then being S383,llO.27.
As it happens, too, practically two
fifths of the city bonded and note debt,
including old water department bonds,
becomes payable during the year 1919.
This calls for approximately $4,000,
and to meet that amount there is a reg
ular sinking fund of $lOl ,030.3l and
water department sinking fund of So,
75l.09, leaving an unproyided for amount
approximating SG4, 500 The finance com
mittee recommends refunding bonds ia
this amount.
In making its report the finance com
mittee stated: In presenting for the
consideration of the voters our report for
the past year and estimates for 1919, we
find that it will require a tax of $3.50
on the dollar to carry on the business of
the city, upon the estimates which We
have made, and we have kept them as
low as we possibly could and maintain
the needed efficiency in the various de-
partments.
I'VE have made provision for paying
the school department the equivalent OF
a tax of 81 on the dollar as we have
been advised that they will need that
sum to meet theiE steadily increasing eX-
penses.
I'VE see little hope OF being able to
reduce the cost Of the poor department.
below last years high level.
I'VE recommend that S64 500 Of the
bonds and notes maturing this year be
refunded, to mature on such dates as
the finances of the city will surely be
able to meet them. This years payment
on the cemetery trust funds will com
plete the refunding which was started
six years ago, so that Shey will no longer
he an annual charge as heretofore
Provision has been made to meet the
City's share in the creation Of a tuber
culosis sanatorium for the county which
we expect will be erected this year, There
are no signs that the direct state tax viii
be lower than ii has been and we have
made provision for a 20-cent tax; should
the levy be less, it should enlarge the
balance at the end of the year.
There are a large number of improve
ments which we believe should be carried
out, but the conditions are such that we
do not feel warranted in pressing them
at this time, unless the citizens insist on
them and provide the means to carry
them out, which would mean a higher
tax rate or increase in debt.
I we hope that now that the war is
over conditions will again return to nor
NAL and the purchasing power of a dollar
have something like its former value
The estimated expenses for the year
1919 are as follows:
