HARD COAL SHORTAGE
IN VERMONT TOWNS
Some Without Anthracite for
Two Weeks Because of Short
age of Cars at the Mines
Burlington Dealers Unable to
Give Much Help

Vermont is In a worse predicament for
hard coal than for soft according to in
formation available from the different
coal dealers in the State, and lied T..
Pierce of the elias Lyman Coal company
left Sunday on trip to see If some
relief could not be obtained for the smaller
places some of which have been without
anthracite coal for ten days and two
weeks at n time.
One of the chief contributing causes for
the hard coal shortage in Vermont is the
fact that the cars are tied up with ship
ments of btuminous coal about the coun-
try and are not yet available for the use
of the hard coal miners. Small dealers
haven't>the storage facilities of the bigger
coal men and cannot handle a supply
which will last for months, as is done in
Burlington. In many towns the dealers
get in car of coal and distribute 1t at
once. Before that Is exhausted they or
der another and keep along that way.
This year the allotment is made for
or any other place wants to let his coal
go to those who are short of II. and as
a result the small towns must go with
out. In many cases wood has been burned
extensively but this is a hanlship on the
large number in rural communities which
have furnaces whose owners have become
used to coal.
Burlington and the large places In the
States are fairly we'll supplied with soft
coal, apparently, but even here there is
none too much anthracite and 1t is i'm
possible 10 get certain sizes of coal.

AUTHORITIES CLEAN
UP BOLTON FAMILY
Four Children and Man Living
Under Depraved Conditions
Disposed Of-Father Sent to
Prison-MOther Dead--Insti-
tutions Take Others

with their mother dead as the result OF
the epidemic Of influenza and the father.
Arthur Kimball, sentenced TO not less
than two nor more than four years in the
State prison at Windsor for adultery.
Pauline, Edward and Lena kimball, aged
eleven, ten and five years. were placed in
the hands Of the state Board Of Charities
and Probation in city court Friday
afternoon by Judge j. +. Ladd. while the
oldest daughter, Sadie, who admitted she
had been guilty of prostitution although
only IL years old was sent to the In
dustrial school at Vergennes for the re-
mainder of her minority.
The officials OF the town Of Bolton,
States Attorney Martin and Mrs. Austin
and Miss Ross Of the state Board Of
Charities and Probation were all engaged
in cleaning up what appears to be the
most depraved case brought into court in
some time.
Kimball himself is suffering from a
venereal disease and his arrest was ac-
complished after the cleanup of Rose
Bessette's place on First street a few
days ago, when she and her daughter were
sent to prison. Kilnbail was CO.
respondent in the case. OF late his condi-
ton has been such that he could not
work and earn anything. Sadie admitted
her guilt, apparently without any attempt
at concealment and without any idea that
she had really done anything wrong. Kim
ball did not seem to be over conscious of
being guilty of anything and told the
court when presented with the charge
yes That's all true | won't lie about
it."
| DR.. Sidney Mitchell of Richmond
testified to visiting the home from time
to time and said that conditions were
deplorable. There did not seem to be
much of anything there in the way of
provisions nor was there clothing enough
to keep the children warm. What there
was so dirty as to be unhealthful. The
beds had no sheets on them and the quilts
which served their purpose were very
dirty and ragged. Poormaster f.. s. Green
testified along the same lines and said
that Sadie had told him of associating
with men. Sadie wore a straw hat into
court and was thinly clad. but the other
children appeared to have recently
acquired some clothing.
The three young children. who were
adjudged delinquents will be cared for
under the supervision of the state board
and one-half of the expense will be paid
by the State and the other half by the
town of Bolton. This is according to the
State law. Sadie will have about five years
in the INDUSTRIAL school and the father
will he in prison until he is cured. 1t may
be two or more years The entire family
will therefore he taken care of by the
public in one way or another.
kimball and his family moved to Bolton
only a few months ago from Lincoln but
he has lived there lust long enough so
that town will have to help support his

GOV. STONE ON THE WAR
Most Daring Event Was BOttling Up OF
German Submarine Bnscs

Lieutenant Governor Mason S. Stone OF
Montpelier spoke at the Ethan Allen club
Saturday evening. following the usual
Saturday night dinner. his talk being
based upon his observations during his
three months in France, from the first of
April to the first of July, this year. Dur
ing that time. he had the opportunity as
an educational director attached 10 the
A. X. F.. to see many of the battlefields
OF the war and to gather n vas. store of
information concerning the great conflict
Among other things, Mr.. Stone gave
unlimited praise to the American soldier
In France, not only for his service there
but also for his personal conduct The
speaker also had much praise for the
allied troops. especially for the Aus
tralans and for the Canadians.
The most daring event OF the entire
war, in the opinion Of Mr.. Stons, was the
attack upon and the botting up of the
German submarine bases at Zeebrugge
and Ostende by four boats of the British
navy.
The United States was partially re-
sponsible for this war. said Mr. Stone
being an. accessory before the fact in
that We first defed autocratic power as
used by George the Third German king
OF England. and set up for ourselves a
government In defiance to all autocracies
on earth and under the guidance of the
Declaration of independence. In this way
we opened war upon autocracy OF ever,
nature and this world war was wal
against The greatest autocracy on earth
expressed by Germany, so that we were
directly concerned from the first. Wher
our forces finally did get into the fight
we went in at the moment when we were
most needed to turn the tide of battle, ant
we did it.
"And there is still patriotism enough
In America to keep her going for ages
to come" were the closing words of Mr.
Stone.

Vermont Railroad Pay Up

lard, the United States government has
filed suit in United States court against
the Central Vermont railroad for two
fines of $500 each. which were imposed on
it for violating the 2S-hour law which

made from St. Adams and "a cows died in
transit. The railroad was found guilty

SUPPLY CUT OFF
Shortage Of Sugar Practically Tics Up
Plant Of Chocolate Company

BY recent ruling Of the Equalization
Board for the distribution Of sugar, all
manufacturers of candy and chocolate
will be cut off from further supplies Of
sugar for manufacturing purposes until
the arrival Of the new Cuban crop, which
will soon be in the market in large GUAM
titles. Relief may be expected by manu-
facturers about January 1st. but until
that time comes It will necessitate almost
complete tie-up of the plant of the
Vermont Milk Chocolate company. It
has also beeen ruled that chocolate pro-
ducts are a food and a necessity in the
market: so there is the belief that pro-
ducers Of chocolate will be given supplies
Of sugar Just as soon az relief has been
afforded to household requirements.

Interutate Commerce Commission
A hearing was held Monday in the
United States court room before W. s.
Workman of New York. delegated by the
Interstate Commerce Commission to take
evidence in the petition of Bryant &
Chapman, who operate a creamery at
Gloverdale, in Underhill, against the Cen
trail Vermont and Boston 4 Maine rail-
roads.
The creamery men are complaining be-
cause a refrigerator car is put on the
railroad only every other day when they
need one every day The petition is to
obtain an order for a daily car or some
other arrangement by which their cream
can be shipped each day.
The railroad attorneys claimed that the
business on that line did not warrant
daily car. The creamery business
amounts to between 75 and 100 cans of 40
quarts each, while the commission has
, already laid down a line at 5.l0O cana,
according to the attorneys.
