EXONERATED
! OTHER MEN.
UNDER ARREST
Longe Is Alleged to Have
Declared That the Other
Men Who Were. Held
Under Suspicion Were
Not With Him When
Hayes Was Beaten to
Death.

Rutland, Dee, 4 r. Peter Longe. one OF
the four men under arrest for the MUIR
der.of Owen Hayes at Fair Haven Oct
4. has confessed that he killed Hayes
for the money he carried, and has de-
ciared that the other accused men were
not with him, according to statement
by county officers to-day.
Longe is said to have asserted that
lie obtained the aid of some foreigners,
whose names he did not know, to
strike Hayes down, and that he did not
!. himself WELD the club He is under
1stood to have admitted that he helped
carry the body TO the Castleton river,
into which it was thrown.
When Hayes body was found in the
river week after his death, it was be
lieved that he had been drowned acci-
dentally, but nearly two months later
statement made to the authorities by
Longe's young daughter, Madeline, led
to the arrest of Longe, Lawson Bard
well, Herbert Lowell and Joseph $. Duf
fanny.
All the men were held for the grand
Jury in the Jail at Middlebury and it
was there that the confession by Longe
lis alleged to have been made last night
ito Deputy Sheriff n G. Sanford of Mid
dlebury and a private detective. Longe
lis said to have insisted that the rob
berry netted him only $40, although it
has been the belief of the officers that
Hayes carried at least $500 on the
night he disappeared.
+ Atty. Gen. Archibald announced that
lin view of Longes statement, the four
men would be brought here to-day for
a court hearing. He said also that Ma
define Longe, who said the story of the
alleged plot to kill Hayes was told her
I by Herbert Lowell would be brought
face to face with Lowell to-day, and
further questioned.
Lovell's attorneys had been able to
produce a time card showing that Low
ell was at work with the Vermont Mill
ing Products company at Fair Haven
on the night Hayes was killed. Lowell
had previously asserted that he did not
know Hayes, did not know he was dead
and knew nothing of the murder until
Die was arrested in Proctorsville last
Monday night. The time card showed
that Lowell punched in at the mill at
'5.25 and punched out at 6;43 the next
morning, whereas Hayes left the wait
ing station in Fair Haven at lO:3O to
20 to his home.
Madeline Longe, daughter of Peter
Longe, told the county and state Off
cials that Lowell had confessed TO her
that he was the ring leader in the death
of Hayes and that her father was also
implicated.

GREEKS SURPRISED
At JOINT NOTE
Disappearing the Return of King Con-
stantine to Athens, Plebiscite
May Be Postponed.

Athens, Dec. (By the Associated
Press A joint note to the Greek gov
ernment from Great Britain, France
and Italy disappearing the return of
King Constantine caused surprise, if
not CONSERVATION, in this city to day
when presented to Premier Rhallis by
the ministers of the three countries. A
meeting of the cabinet was called.
The plebiseite, at which the people
of Greece are TO record their approval
or disapproval of the return of Con-
stsntine, may be delayed, although ar
rangements were perfected to charter
ships to take prominent Greeks to
Venice, where they would meet Con-
stantine on December 10.
Editorials reAeeting opposition TO
the return of Constantine are appear
ing in this city. The Patris says:
"Those who accused Nenizelos of sell
ing Greece 10 strangers are now OBJ.
lRed 10 accept shameful conditions. III
also appears the French may use Gen
ersl Wrangels army against the
Turks, removing the Greeks, thereby
giving the Russians a hold on Con-
stantinople. The Greek flag has also
been replaced by the Italian in the
Dodecanesus Islands"
at is clear that the allies wash
their hands of our internal policies by
acknowledging the principles that
must control nations, says the Athine
"We are now under the necessity of
regaining our lost favor with the al
lies, upon which must depend our
future conduct. King Constantine. or
any other monarch. would be an ire
sponsible chief, and it is for the gov
eminent to take up the task with the
duty of always telling the truth"

millions tied up in half-Glled churches while
the movies put out the s. r. O. sign every
night. Our public libraries cater TO the few,
while the many are at the beaches displaying
would-be Annette Kelerman anatomics in
bathing suits which are usually two sizes too
small. Yes, and Painless Parker keeps on
his Offices while the dentists who

And advertising has done it.
The shining "nts" that should find their
way into the Sunday School treasury are spent
for Spearmint. because Wrigley needed the
money" just about fifty million dollars
worth more than the churches wanted to save
the little tan and black heathens. The whole

rather than to church, simply because the men

DR.. Warren Giles at SIS
Stretching the Truth.

We do not hold that the mere use of com
parativc prices is unethical or wrong. We
40 maintain, however, that the use OF COM
paratVc prices and comparative values is
subject to great abuse and tends to under
mine confidence in advertising as it tends to
educate the public to the belief that a regu-
lar price on merchandise carries excep-
uonally large profit for the merchant, and
that 1t is not prudent to buy until goods are
advertised at a reduction. 1t tends TO edu-
cate the public to become bargain hunters.
The effect upon the department buyer is to
do exactly what the public suspects, place a
high mark-up on his goods that he may adyer-
tise them at reduced price and still make a
reasonable profit. The shopper learns to
look and wait for a reduced price before pur-
chasing, and even then questions whether or
not she is getting real bargain.
The whole tendency OF the extreme use OF
comparatives is. we believe, to destroy con-
idence in advertising and in the merchant s
making c4travagant use Of comparatives,
thereby making it necessary for such mer-
chant TO spend ever-increasing sums for adj
vertising. In the meantime his department
heads are tempted to make ever-increasing
claims OF reductions to stimulate the jaded
public appetite for bargains.
The 5000 dress advertised on sale at SIS
may have actually sold at the higher price
at the beginning of the season. The mer-
chant is probably taking q considerable loss
at the lower price, but it is hard to make
the public believe that he is selling goods at
an actual loss. We know it is often done
ana tnat II Is good merchandising to- close
out broken and unreasonable lines, hut the
general public does not. The women who
paid the higher price earlier in the season
believe the merchant proftcered and the
merchant suffers through loss OF confidence
and prestige.
The Better Business Bureau asks Rich
mond merchants, If they feel they must use
comparative prices, to them with care
that their use may be more effective The
Bureau is interested in creating more and
better business for all Richmond merchants
1T is interested in increasing public conf
dence in advertising. This is your bureau.
working for your general good. Will you
help us?
