Big Crowd Sees Gymnastie
Stunts Performed
in Armory
HIGH SCHOOL AND
GRADES TAKE PART
Keen Interest Manifested Throughout
Program and Enthusiastic Applause
Given - Work Shows Painstaking
Preparation-Dance Follows.

Probably the most interesting and
varied gymnastic exhibition ever put
on by the pupils of the Brattleboro
public schools was seen last evening in
the armory by an audience which oc-
cupied every foot of available space
outside the indoor track, and the ap
probation of the parents and friends
of the children and the schools was
shown in enthusiastic applause.
Approximately 100 pupils took part
in the exercises, music for many of
which was furnished by an orchestra,
Miss Thyra Morrill, and Earl A. Bra
man playing piano accompaniments for
some Of the drills The program in
clnded 10 numbers and the accuracy of
time and precision of movements
showed that much painstaking drilling
had been done by the director, Died
rich Stoltc, and that each pupil had
spared no effort to do his bit toward
making the exhibition a success.
While all the exercises showed much
hard work, perhaps the most difficult
were the parallel bar performances by
- high school boys, the spring board
| Jumping by seven high school girls,
and the horse work by the grade boys.
| The program opened with a twisting
wand drill by 10 fifth and sixth grade
| boys The attention which they showed
| the commands of their leader and the
speed with which they executed the
changes in twists. thrusts and other
movements indicated the intensive
drilling which they had received in
preparation for the exhibit. The boys
| in the drill were Oscar Anderson, Rob

ASSISTANT JUDGE
F. B. PIER RESIGNS
Relinquishes Office Because
of Attack of
Illness
HAS SERVED LONG
AND EFFICIENTLY
Successor to Be Appointed by Cover
nor-Was Active in Business in Raw
sonville Before Coming Here-Jus-
tice of the Peace Many Years.

Judge Fred B. Pier of "a Chestnut
street, one of the assistant judges of
the Windham county court, today an
nounced his resignation from that Office,
having sent his letter of resignation to
Governor Clement.
This action is taken on account of
Judge Piers recent attack of cerebral
hemorrhage, and while he is showing
good improvement from his illness he
feels that it would be unwise for him
to undertake the responsibilities of the
office longer. The vacancy probably will
be filled by appointment by Governor
Clement.
Judge Pier first was elected assistant
judge in 1902, succeeding Judge Daniel
kellogg of Westminster, who had served
four years. He was then a resident of
Rawsonville in the Gown of Jamaica, and
he served continuously until 1911, when
he came to Brattleboro.
In 1913 he again was elected assistant
judge, from the south district. succeed
ing Judge Frank Worden of Halifax, and
he has served continuously since then,
making a total of about l6 years.
| He was elected justice of the peace
when he was % years old, and has been
a justice practically all of the time since,
often serving as trial justice. he has
presided at numerous inquests.
l. In his capacity as assistant judge,
(which gave him an important place in
county finances, and as justice and in
his personal business affairs Judge Pier
always has shown marked ability, and
the public recognizes him as a man of
sterling character and worth.
Formerly he was a merchant in Raw
sonville, where he also had numbering
interests, and for some years he was
postmaster. The postoffice at Rawson-
willie was established largely through his
lefforts.

WILL USE TRACTOR
ON STREET RAILROAD
Volunteers and Regular Force to Be
Assembled Tomorrow-Fire Alarm
Will Give Signal

Arrangements are being made today
for a force of volunteers to resume op-
erations tomorrow afternoon on clear
ing the tracks of the Brattleboro street
railway. An agreement has been reached
whereby the no-school fire alarm signal
will be sounded at l.30 o'clock if the
work is to be undertaken.
Volunteers and the regular force of
the company have succeeded in clearing
the track as far as the l0-tenement
building on South Main street and to a
point on Canal street near the end of
Organ street. The work tomorrow will
be on Canal street in an effort to open
the track as far as the Main street
bridge.
Much of the snow has been washed
from the tracks by the rain and in some
places along the line the rails already
are cleared by natural causes. 1t is ex-
pected that tractor will be secured to
drive over the track and break up the
ice, thus saving much picking.

EBERT GOVERNMENT IN GERMANY
TROOPS ALREADY OCCUPY CAPITAL

of military organization in Berlin are
held in the barracks ready for instant
action as the result of an alleged dis
covery of a reactionary plot here today.
Official bulletins declare the plot
ters" had planned to move ON Berlin
and with the aid of the garrison over
throw the government. Among those
said to be involved are Capt. Pabst and
DR.. Won Kapp, pan German propa
gandist. Both were formerly identified
with the brigade commanded by Gen.
Won Luttwitz and were prominent in
the fighting here during the early revo-
lutionary period. Troops recently re-
turned from the Baltic states are also
said to have been implicated in the
alleged conspiracy.
Direct inquiry in official quarters has
failed to elicit any information beyond
a statement that the government was
warranted in the light of the attitude
of the panGerman press to suspect a
monarchist plot and if pressure pre-
walls tonight therefore that their gov
ernment exaggerated the critical ma
ture of the situation and took seriously
indefinite rumors which have been eur
rent here the past week.
1t is the general belief the effect of
the Erzberger- Halfferich trial, the an
nouncement of the candidacy of Field
Marshal Won Hinderburg and the at
tack on allied officers contributed to
'make the cabinet nervous over the sit,
uation.

PIXLEY WANTS HIS
WIFE RESTRAINED
Says She Threatens to Take Child to
Greenfeld-He and Two Others
File Divorce Petitions.

George II. Pixley, an employe at
Whites livery stable, has filed pc
tition for divorce from Frances l(Clift)
Pixley, alleging that on Dec l, 1919,
at Brattleboro, and at other times and
places she treated him with intolerable
severity. Mrs. Pixley formerly lived in
New York They were married here by
Justice w. S. Newton Oct. 20, 1909.
Mr.. Pixley asks for the custody of
their minor child, as he says his wife
is an unfit person to have the custody
of her. He says his wife has been dis
regarding her duties at home, that she
was once complained of for her con
duct, and that she has picked up all
her clothing and belongings and those
of the child and has told Mr.. Pixley
that she is to go to Greenfield, Mass,
to live with James Barrett.
The latter, Mr. Pixley says, is un-
fit to associate with Mrs. Pixley or to
have anything to do with the care and
bringing up of the child, and he asks
the court to restrain her and her agents
and attorneys from removing the child
out of the jurisdiction of Windham
county and from interfering with Mr.
Pixley's care, custody and control OF
the child. The petition is brought
through Attorney E. W. Gibson s office

Friedrich Ebert, formerly head of the

leader of the Social Democratic party,

German progressive republic" for a
term of seven years on Feb. II. 1919. by
the national assembly at Weimar. He

ReactiOnaries In Control
ASSOCIATED Press.)

AEAoSOkAakNA 4 ANSo.I
The names associated with the
new revolutionary movement in
Germany indicate its reactionary
character. 1t would appear, there
fore, that Germany is in the throes
of the long-expected and frequent
ly predicted counter-revolutionary
monorchist struggle. The DR.. Won
Kapp, reported as having as
sumed the chancellorship, it seems
probable, is DR.. Wolfgang Kapp, a
former conservative member of
the reichstag and general director
of the German Agricultural soci-
ETY.. He was one of the deputies
who early in 1918 urged the gov
ernment to speed up the U-boat
building program. He became
president of the German Father
land party, the notorious pan-Ger-
man organization which urged
that Germany carry on the war to
the bitter end. After the abdica-
ton of Emperor William and the
signing of the armistice Dr. Kapp
was one of the men for whose ar
rest the Independent Socialists
clamored on the ground that he
and his associates had been re-
sponsible for the continuation of
the war and the hindering of
peace.
