EL PASO. Texas, June 13.-Andres Garcia. consul for the Mexican govern ment in Fl Paso today made the follow ing statement to the Associated Press:
 Stories of fighting in the neighbor- hood of Juarez are false. There has been no engagement, big or little and I know that up to last night no force of rebels of any consequence has been within 30 miles of Juarez. Scouting parties are out now and as soon as they return we shall know more about the whereabouts of any Villista forces that may be sauth of the city across the Rio Grande river. In any case, there is no expectation of an immediate attack.
 My information is that between 400 and 1 500 Nillistas were concentrated at Villa Ahumada several days ago, but were said to have moved to the north. There has been no fighting.

WAS HOST" 37 YEARS

Nashville, Tenn.-How a man was Host" for thirty seven years has been uncovered in suit for S13,31S1S. filed by the state of Iowa against the Nash vile Trust company, guardian of Louis Laitenberger. Iowa's claim is for thirty seven years maintenance of Laitenberger in the Iowa State hos pital for the insane at Mount Pleas ant. During the greater part of that time he was being sought by relatives and by lawyers. Less than year ago he was found and brought back to Nashville, for he is sole heir to large estate. Laitenberger's mind was hope lessly unbalanced, but the court ap- pointed the Nashville Trust company as his guardian, and he was placed in a local hospital. Now the state of Iowa, which for thirty-seven years has been boarding and caring for Laiten- berger at public expense, seeks to col lect from his estate the regular charge made for keeping the insane who are able to pay for their maintenance in the Mount Pleasant institution.

FORD CAR OYERTURNS
WHEN WHEEL BREAKS

A new Ford car owned by Stokes
& Co., and driven by Harold II. Searles,
an employee, turned somersault on the
East Middlebury road last Monday
evening, due, it is declared, to the
breaking of a wheel Searles was rem
dered Unconscious but his passenger,
Benjamin Hope, fortunately escaped
with only a slight bump on the head.
The aCCiden occurred at the foot of
Blind Baker Hill, near the Sessions
farm, on the turn toward East Middle
bury. Searles, who was carrying Hope
to his home in East Middlebury, de-
clares that he was Coasting down the
hill and running at a speed of about
eighteen or twenty miles an hour. He
believes that either the tire came off one
OF his front wheels and let the weight
of the car down on the rim, or else the
spokes OF the wheel gave way, In any
event, the wheel collapsed and sent the
car into the ditch where it turned a
complete somersault, and landed right
side up. The top of the car. however
was so iammed down that it pinned
Searles fast, and the twisted frame of
the wind shield had caught him around
his neck. Hope, who had been thrown
clear of the car, quickly recovered him
self and ran to the relief of Searles
whose unconscious form he disengaged
from the wreck.
H. E. Sessions, who lives on the farm
near the corner witnessed the accident,
and Charles Brush who came along in
his car carried Searles to Middlebury
where DR.. R. W Prentiss treated his
bruises. Searles had sustained
slight conclusion of the brain, and his
right shoulder was badly strained, but
it is not believed that he will suffer any
permanent i'll effects.

Praise Avery Appointment

Those who have come into contact
with him know him as conscientious,
capable and hard working official,
Governor Clement is to be credited
with having made a good appointment.
There is promise OF good service to
be rendered to the state. Avery has
the ability, the ambition to make a
good official and the knowledge Of gen
eral taxation problems which justify
one in predicting that he will fill the
office in acceptable manner and that
if he is left in office will make Vermont
tax commissioner OF exceptional
merit. st. Adams Messenger
Governor Clements appointment OF
John NJ Avery as tax commissioner
is commendable from every point OF
view. John Avery is one OF a fine
group of loyal young Vermonters who
always think OF their state and seldom
of themselves. Clean, modest, able
and industrious, he will make good
wherever placed. Gov. Clement made
an exceptional choice when he selected
John Avery to succeed Mr. Plumley
as tax commissioner Bennington

Mountain climbing in Vermont be-
comes still more preferable to us than
scaling the Alps when we read that in
the past eight months 275 mountain
climbers have been killed in the Central
Alps, and the season OF this form OF
suicide sport is not yet over. 1t is
really an astounding death toll, making
Alpine scaling far more perilous than
transatlantic arplane flights In COM
parison, the ten years history of the
Green Mountain Club has not, so far
as we know, chronicled single fatal
ity, or any serious casualties and to our
mind much of the same eXhilaration
that is obtained from mounting into the
mundane glaciers might easily DE
had from more extensive use Of our own
mountains as a winter play ground In
any event one has a lar greater chance
of coming out alive.

Bastile Day Observed.

The celebration of July IA, the great
national French holiday which marks
the fall of the Bastile, has become a
regular fixture at Middlebury's Sum-
mer Session where this year the festivi-
ties were given unusual interest by the
presence of five young men from France
who participated in the program.
The celebration began with dinner
at Battell Cottage where members of
the French School competed for the
best decorated table, the first prize
going to the one over which DR.. G. D.
de la Iarrie presided.
The rest of the program was carried
out in Pearsons social hall which was
crowded. La Marseillase was sung in
French and Professor H. P Williamson
de Nisme made a few Introductory re-
marks followed by an address by DR..
de la Jarrie.
One of the French boys, WAN de
Bire, read an original poem which was
greatly applauded and another of the
boys, Robert Ehrmann, gave a solo on
his cello. The next numbers were a
defamation by Mademoiselle Janin and
several piano solos by Professor Baker.
A third French boy, Maurice Stephan,
gave two prose poems which also won
applause while the closing event OF the
evening was the reading by Professor
de Visme of a letter to the French
School from Monsieur lie Sous, Project
OF the Seine ct Disc, France A letter
of thanks to the Project was signed by
all and the meeting adjourned.

POTATOES AND
SUGAR ARE SCARCE

Reminders of the recent war times
are still present in local markets where
prices continue high and where short
ages in some lines of foodstufis are not
infrequent, Many household shoppers
this week found it difficult to get sugar,
and potatoes either new or old, were
entirely lacking on some days this
week. The sugar situation is said to
be due to the fact that the wholesale
jobbers failed to stock up on sugar
this year. Usually in January or Feb
ruary when sugar is low in price they
buy in large quantities with purpose
to sell at profit when the canning
season demand in the summer sends
the price up. Last January, however,
the price of sugar was so high that the
jobbers were afraid to buy, fearful
that the price would drop before sum-
mer and mean loss to them In
consequence, the sugar refners, unable
to sell to the jobbers, were led to sell
sugar on foreign contract at even higher
prices than they could get at home,
and the jobbers naturally found them
selves short of sugar this summer. 1t
is probable that sugar will not be nor
mally plentiful for a month or more,
if it does get plentiful at all this sum
mer and the local stores are dealing it
out in very limited quantities.
Potatoes are equally scarce. The new
potatoes from the south have been
sold as high as 80 cents peck, and the
new local crop is not yet ready, while
the old crop is practically exhausted.
