SAMUEL CARSWELL.
Well Known Barre Man Passed Away
This Morning.

The death Of Samuel Carswell of Ayers
street occurred this morning at 6 o'clock,
the end following a period OF failing
health that dated back to August 1918,
at which time he had severe attack Of
bronchial pneumonia.
Mr. Carswell was born in Dalbeattie.
Scotland, Jan. 28, ls4s, and came to this
country with his family 80 years ago,
He at once became a citizen and always
took keen interest in all city and ma
tional affairs. Throughout his adult life
he followed his trade in the granite in
dustry. He was very active man and
until age compelled him to stop he took
great enjoyment in many outdoor sports.
He was endowed with wonderful
memory and natural talent as a story
teller, and this, together with the fact Of
his being a well read man, made him
what so many knew him to be, won
derful entertainer; and his many friends
will mourn his passing away.
Besides his wife, he leaves one daugh
ter, Mrs. Donald Smith Of Barre, and two
sons, William NJ Carswell, assistant SUI
superintendent of the Prudential Life In
surance company, New York City. and

WILL WITHDRAW AFT
Err HEARING POINCARE
Then the Conference viii
Proceed to Take Up the
Important Work of Franz
ing a Treaty of Peace.

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE question Of Russia
continues to be one of the most impor-
tant before the supreme council of the
peace conference. The problem at pres
ent principally concerns how and when
she shall be represented before the con
ference, for opinion in conference circles
is that she must be represented.
The position of the council regarding
publicity is considered to-day as likely
to be modified, and it was believed, with
the assembling of the council to-day,
that the press would be admitted on
Saturday to hear President Poincare's s
speech before the full assemblage. In
such case, however, the newspaper men
would withdraw when the real business
before the conference was taken up.
The separate representation accorded
the British colonies in the peace confer
ence having unfavorably impressed the
French colonial world. the Havas agency
has issued a note pointing out that by
reason of the interchangeability of the
delegates the French government can,
when necessary, call in specially qualified
plenipotentiaries, and that thus the diff
ferent colonial problems will be discussed
with all the necessary safeguards.

cree Suspending Constitutional
Guarantees for That

London, Jan. 1.-THE Spanish govern

Barcelona and other parts Of Catalonia
early in December, the Spanish govern
ment offered to submit the demands of
Catalonia to parliamentary committee.

matter would be brought before the
Spanish Parliament when it resumed its

ing for an Increase Of zone express rates

NOT FORCING DOWN PRICES.
Nor Miners Pay, Says Director General
Hines.

Washington, D. c., Jan. l7.--Reports
that the railroad administration plans
to force down coal prices and consequent
1y miners pay, drew a formal denial
to-day from Director General Hines.
1T is the policy Of the railroad ad-
ministration," said the director general,
''to avoid at this time any undue con
centration of its purchasing power Of
coal and to accomplish this purpose by
permitting each road to purchase its
own coal II is further the policy Of the
railroad administration to require that
all bids made and accepted shall be
based on the existing scale of wages.
"There can be no excuse, therefore, for
making the claim that coal operators are
forced to reduce wages by reason Of the
railroad administration accepting any
prices which may hereafter be offered it
for coal. It is already fully understood
that the railroads are not to use the car
supply as a means of affecting prices"

AMERICANS ARE READY
FOR THE OPEN SESSIONS
or. PEACE CONFERENCE
They Are Said to Be Supported by the
British--Rule of Secrecy Is Held
in Allegiance at Request of
President Wilson.

Paris, Thursday, Jan. Is (by the Asso-
ciated Press) AT the instance of Presi-
dent Wilson, the supreme inter-aIlied
council decided to-day to hold in abey-
ance the proposed rule for virtual secre-
cy regarding its deliberations beyond in
formation given in official statements 1t
was also decided to request representa-
tives of the British, American and Ital-
ian press to present some plan for re-
porting the meeting.
1t was said in American circles here
to-day that the stir caused by yester
e days action was not unwelcome to the
British and American officials, who were
willing to work for q broader rule which
would open the proceedings to public
view.
British correspondents met and adopt
ed resolutions that one British press rep
resentative be admitted to sittings of
the congress. American correspondents
also adopted resolutions, declaring they
would be satisfied with nothing less than
free access to all deliberations.
These resolutions were brought before
meeting attended by representatives of
the press from all the nations associated
in the war against Germany.
In American official circles, it was re-
called that before President Wilson's de-
parture for Europe it was announced Of
ficially at Washington that, at the presi-
dents personal request, both the British
and French governments had raised all
censorship restrictions onnews dispatches
to American concerning the peace con-
gress.
President Cemenceau spoke this after
noon in the chamber of deputies on the
decision to keep proceedings of the peace
congress sercet.
1--WE have not yet found final form
in which communications from the peace
congress will be made he said, but in
general way, the principle of publicity
has met with favor
Here he was interrupted by Deputy
Mistral, who said; Except by you, NJ.
Clemenceau."
81 have the honor to emphatieally deny
that statement" the premier rejoined.
1--WE all should like to keep proceedings
secret, so that it may not be said that
such and such a conutry made such and
such a proposition, which has been
fought by such and such other govern
ments. We are unanimous in thinking
that that might create bad feeling We
think that in the preliminary conyersa-
tions we must, at all costs, arrive at an
agreement so that there shall be a solid
front at the general discussion.
''If we wish to form a league of ma
tions, writing phrases is insufficient
There must be a prevailing spirit which
will insure the life of this league of ma
tions. We would like to finish this war
by full agreement of the civilized ma
tions for a supreme ideal of better
humanitY."

DESIRE TO MEET IN BARRE.
vermont-New Hampshire Retail Monu
ment Dealers Association.

ment Dealers Association.
The annual meeting of the Vermont
New Hampshire Retail Monument Deal
ers' association is expected to be held in
Barre next year if the recommendations
made at the annual meeting just held in
Manchester, n. H., are carried out. The
matter of selecting a place for the next
convention was left to the executive com
mittee with an expression of desire to
meet in Barre if the national association
decides to hold its next convention in
Barre, as it has planned to do.
At the Manchester convention all the
old officers were reelected as follows;
+. NJ Ober Of Morrisyille, president;
D. o. Eaton of Lebanon, n. H., vice
president; A. S. Bailey of Lancaster, n
H., second vice president; E. W Bailey
Of Manchester, ~ H., secretary; and j.
McNichols of White River Junction,
treasurer. President Ober was unable to
be present because of illness.
The association reported successful
year, and despite its youth, having been
started only five years ago is gradually
growing to be one of the biggest organ
izations of its sort in New England. Its
chief problem is that of protecting re-
tailers from questionable methods of
many small dealers and of promoting a
cooperation that, in the past, has been
very much lacking in the retail business
Reports of both retailers and manu-
facturers assembled at the meeting
showed that much progress had been
made towards accomplishing this. The
members got together on price scales and
methods of conducting the retail business
and plan to get out scale rates for dis
tribution to all members.
Business prospects for the coming year
were announced as better than ever be-
fore With the increase in business, how
ever, viii go an increase in prices rang.
