For Implication in Snug.
Cling Liquor into the
United States
TWO TO COUNTY JAIL
IN BURLINGTON
Z. w. Felt of Montpelier Is
Given Sentence for Impli-
cation in Transportation

Burlington, Jan 23.--Four sentences
were meted out in the United States
court this morning to men implicated
in smuggling liquor into this country
from Canada. Edgar Bissaillon and
Joseph Brassard, who were captured
the night of Dec. 2, with an automobile
containing IA quarts Of spirits, were
both sentenced to three months in the
Chittenden county Jail.
4. w. Felt of Montpelier was SEN
fenced to two months in the Washing
ton county jail for being implicated
with Arthur Lawson of Sheldon asd
&c. B. Atwood Of Montpelier in trans
porting liquor from Pigeon Hill, Que,
into this country.
Adelard Bertrand received three
months sentence for being involved in
transactions for bringing liquor into
the states for the purpose of selling it..
Bertrand refused to take the stand or
testify and broke down completely
while waiting for sentence, weeping
aud sobbing aloud.
Burlington, Jan, %. 3.Another respon-
dent was found guilty yesterday OF be-
ing implicated in the Illegal importing
of liquor In United States court in a
trial by jury, which lasted all day, in
the person of Edwin W. Felt of Mont
peler, who during the last year of Ii
cense was bartender.
Felt pleaded not guilty but was
found guilty on three counts when the
jury had been out less than half an
hour. The counts charged him with
helping to get five cases OF whiskey
over the line from Pigeon HILL p. O..
on Oct. 10, seven more ON Nov. /, and
seven more on Nov. l5.
Arthur Lawson of Sheldon testified
that Felt and a fellow respondent, G. b.
Atwood, also of Montpelier, hired him
to bring the liquor in over the line in
his machine. They paid him four dol
lars case for his work. According to
his testimony, Felt and Atwood would
take an automobile and go to Pigeon
Hill, where they would purchase what
liquor they wanted. Lawson would then
drive after it and bring il across the
line. leaving it at any place designated.
Once it was concealed on the county
fair grounds and someone stole il, but
they later discovered it i'll another build
ing. Atwood and Felt would then take
the liquor and dispose Of it.
Atwood, who was arrested and in
dicted at the same time with Felt, took
the stand and admitted his part in the
transactions while telling about Felt.
His testimony coincided with that of
lawson. The prosecution had nine in
dictments against the men, but they
were tried on only three.
Felt's conviction is the fourth which
has been obtained in United States
court this week on charges OF illegally
importing liquor. There are nearly
dozen more indicted, it is understood.
The vigorous action taken by the fed
eral authorities seems TO have stopped
some of the traffic, for the officers along
the border have not reported much
trouble in the past few days.

Mrs. Pages Will Found
In Safe Deposit Box
Papers Fail to Make Mystery of
Identity of the Woman
Who Ended Life

A safe deposit box supposed to con-
tain papers that would shed light on
the suicide O. Mrs. Clare Ellison Page
at the Hotel Vanderbilt last Tuesday
was opened yesterday. It's contents
convinced DR.. Charles Norris, chief
medical examiner, that Mrs Page had
been registered at the hctel under her
own name, and that there is no mys-
terry as to her identity.
The box has been closely guarded
since Mrs. Page was found dead in her
room. 1t was opened in the presence
of DR.. George P. LeBrun, a representa-
tive of his office; Frederick Monk, Public
Administrator, and a representative of
the hotel. 1t contained Mrs. Pages
will, which had been drawn up Feb
ruary 8; several keys, some legal pa
pers and few pieces of jewelry. The
name of Clare Ellison Page was signed
to the will.
Charles A. Stoneham, broker, of Al
Broad Street, said to be Mrs. Pages
representative, was named executor of
the will. Under it's provisions small
bequests Of Mrs. Pages personal ef
fects were left to Mrs. Charles Willard,
of 140 West Fifty eighth Street, and to
Mrs. D:ngwald.
The box and its contents were turned
over last night to Leo J. Bondy, repre-
senting Mr.. Stoneham, who is now in
Chicago. 1t is believed tnat Mrs. Pao.
was a widow.

To Back Police
Commissioner Says Jurists
Should Be More Careful
in Vice Cases Not to
Make Hasty Dismissals
Wants Limit on Evidence
Misled by Reports of In
spectors on Prevailing
Conditions, Belief of Cobb

Criticism of city magistrates for
what he termed lack of cooperation
with the police was made yesterday
by Police Commissioner Richard Il.
E.nright before the opening session of
the eleventh annual convention of the
State Association of Magistrates in
the Hotel Astor Acting for .hc
Mayor, the Commissioner welcomed the
slXty-odd delegates representing police
courts, children's courts and domestic
relations courts and then said he in
tended to speak very frankly upon
some of the problems confronting the
police.
The fact that the magistrates frc-
quently required of the police evidence
that in the nature of things was not
the Commissioner assigned as evil
dence of the lack of cooperation by
the inferior courts. He said magis-
trates should be more careful, par
tlcularly in cases of vice and gam
bling, not to make hasty dismissals.
Magistrates Acts Censured
"Some magistrates, I believe" Com
missioner Enright said, "do no more
than read the afdavits." In cases
where prima facie evidence is made
out, he added he believed the prisoner
should be held. Conferences between
the police authorities and the magis-
trates were suggested for many prev
alent evils. He thought that 'con-
sciously or unconsciously." some Of
the magistrates were doing injustice
to policemen by requiring TOO much of
them IN the way of evidence.
Magistrate W. Bruce Cobb answered
the Commissioner by saying that he
believed the Commissioner had been
misled by his inspectors in their re-
pcrts upon prevailing conditions.
Magistrate Cobb called attention to a
recent decision by an appellate court
which it had been held that the police
were required to produce specific evil
dcnce of disorderly noises and to quote
words charged against each individual
defendant.
Dr.. Royal S. Copeland, Commissioner
of Health, praised the work of the in
terror courts in enforcing sanitary
regulations during the influenza cpl
demic and asked for the magistrates

its monopoly of the opium industry, is

Hylan Postpones Trip South
Will Not Go to Palm Beach With
Streets Here In1passable

Mayor Hylan decided yesterday to
forego his trip to Palm Beach for the
present. The Mayor said he would not
leave the city while the streets were
IN their present condition.
1t has been the Mayors custom to
60 to Palm Beach for three weeks in
the winter, but with the traction inves-
tlgation under way, the Mayor has told
friends he did not feel free to go for
SO long. In fact, he said he didn't
want to go at all, but had only con-
sented to go because of his wife's
health. 1t had been arranged for Mrs.
Hyian to start for Palm Beach last
night in company with Grover A.
Whalen, Commissioner of Plant and
Structures, and Mrs. Whalen, but the
commissioner suffered a relapse from
ms recent illness yesterday and was
unable to go. He started for his office
Yesterday to put things in order for his

Privations Suffered
By Older Teachers

There are also teachers who cannot

given their lives to the service of the
city and are now too old to blaze out
new careers for themselves They are
holding on at salaries which are driv-
ing. them to greater and greater pr-
vations every year.
I'VE will never be able to meet the
situation till we can give adequate
compensation" declared DR.. William j
OShea, assistant superintendent in
charge Of retirements, assignments
absences, etc. "Wc have got to have
enough money to bring teachers into
the system and to hold those who are
a:ready in. Those who are here now
cannot meet their expenses.
But some who are in cannot get
cut, they are too old to make readjust-
-mcnts. 1t is unfair to these people
and need not say how it Injuries the
morale Of the system to take advan-
tage of their situation. They are fully
worth greatly increased salaries to the
community, even if they cannot increase
their earnings at their age by going
into business. To refuse them ade-
quate pay is to take an unfair advan-
tage of situation into which they
have put themselves in the discharge
of a public service Of great value"
