MAJORITY FAVORED
BOOKKEEPING COURSE
Commercial Teachers Thought Two
Years of Bookkeeping More Prac-
tical Than High School Course.

The four high school conferences were
by no means the least interesting fea-
lures OF the meeting of the Southeastern
Vermont Teachers association. AT the
commercial conference there were pres
ent teachers from Chester, Bellows Falls
and Springfield. The discussion showed
that to the majority a years course
IN bookkeeping seemed more practical
than a four years course in high schools
All present favored the Gregg method of
shorthand and believed that transcription
should be taken up not earlier than Octo-
Der of the second year. -Four of the com
mercial teachers took advantage of the
opportunity to visit the Peoples NatioRal
bank, where the bookkeeping system Of
the bank was explained by Alphonse
Rate.
At the language conference at which
Miss Mary Bresnehan of the state de-
partment of education presided, the dis
cussions were led by Miss Snow of Bel
lows Falls and Miss Osgood of Brattle-
boro There were interesting conferences,
too, in history and civics and in English
Another meeting of the English teachers
was planned for a Saturday of the
spring term, for the very informal discus
sion of common problems is practical and
helpful.
The Wireless club met last Wednesday

both the east and west coasts has
Just become a law. This movement
sponsored by Secretary of the
Treasury Alvnrado and enacted into
law by . decree over the signature
OF President De Ia Huerta, provides
that Guaymas and Salma Cruz, on the
west coast and Puerto Mexico on the
east shall be converted into free
ports.
According to its official hackers,
the project will stimulate manufact
uring within Mexico at the same TIME
promoting the country's foreign trade.
During the discussion of the PROPOSE
ton was aroused Many of Its op-
ponents declared the idea was i'm
practical and simply represented the
desire OF certain government leaders
to promote their private interests.
Regardless of its NJ erits however the
project Is interesting because Of its
proposed relation 10 the commerce
of North and South America as we'll
as Europe and Asia.
Center For Trade
The central idea of the plan has
been directed toward utilizing the
narrow strip Of territory known as the
1sthmus Of Tehuantepec., which Is
traversed through the states Of Vera
Cruz and Oaxaca by the Tehuantepsc
Railway. with Salina Cruz and Puer-
to Mexico as its termini. Mexican
officials assert that by converting
both Of these cities into free ports
the isthmus can be made center of
foreign trade in the western hemis-
phere second only to the Panama
law, free zones will be established
surrounding the ports customs form

The officials believe that the zones
will then serve as assembling places
for raw material which may be turn
ed into manufacturing products with

way 1t is hoped will serve as a log
tribution for. merchandise between
North and South America and Eur
ope and the Orient. Bonded ware
houses will form one feature Of the
new program.
Guaymas 1t is pointed out, also has
been made a free port because It's
location in the Gulf of California, In
the northern state of Sonora gives it
position Of vantage with respect to
North American and Asiastic com
merce. Guaymas also is the southern
terminus of the Southern Pacific
Railway of Mexico, which would be
expected to traspert raw products

THEN TOLD F|SHY TALE
CLAIMED THAT HE BOUGHT
THE CLOTHES
The Apparel Belonged to Harry
c. Wise, Resident of
This City q

Closing in from three sides a dam
aging net Of evidence is being woven
about Hans Jensen, arrested by Chief
Jacob Hlgers on the charge of forg-
cry in the second degree. While Jen-
sen was being arraigned before Judge
Hiram s. Golf in the municipal court
yesterday afternoon on the charge
mentioned, Sheriff Norman of st. Pet
Ter appeared with a warrant charging
the same offense at st. Peter. Now 1t
comes to light that Jensen when ar
rested was wearing stolen suit of
clothes belonging to young man lin
this city. Owing to the fact that sew
eral letters were found in possession
Iof Jensen bearing the name Harry C.
Wise, the conclusion was reached that
the prisoner was travelling under an
assumed nape.
After reading the account of Jen-
sens arrest in last evenings Free
Press, Harry G.. Wise, who holds the
responsible position Of sterotyper at
the Free Press office, became very
much interested, due to the fact that
his suit case containing valuable
suit of clothes and other articles of
clothing had been stolen from his
room at the Ben Pay hotel on Tuesday
might, November 8. Mr.. Wise at once
went to the county Jail where he con-
fronted Jensen with the theft of his
clothing, which the prisoner was then
wearing, and which Mr.. Wise positive
lily identified as his property.
Jensen Told Fishy Story.
Jensen Is alleged to- have tried to
crawl out Of the deal by stating that
he had purchased the clothing from a
second hand man in town south Of
here, and later tried to implicate Mar
win Vogel Of st. Peter, who is now be-
ing held by the st. Peter authorities
as an accomplice of Jensen In forger-
les.
1t now looks as if Sheriff Anton Os-
ten will have to furnish Jensen with
overalls or some such garment, for Mr.
Wise wants his suit, which is very
good one, back. Since the robbery,
however, Mr.. Wise has gone to the
expense OF ordering another suit made.
