WILL sHUN RUSSIA.
Until "Bolshevists" Horrors Have Come
to an End.

London, Feb. 24.-Thc allies win de-
cline to deal with soviet Russia until
they have arrived at the conviction
that the bolshevists' horrors have come
to an end" it was announced after a
meeting OF the allied supreme council
to-day.
The decision of the supreme council,
it was recognized, precludes diplomatic
relations between the allied govern
ments and the Moscow administration
in the immediate future.
The council expressed itself as
pleased that the international labor
bureau had decided to send a delega-
tion to Russia to study conditions, but
il stated its belief that supervision of
the delegation should be under the
council of-the league Of nations, giving
the investigators greater authority.
The council. it was stated, decided
that the allies could not accept the re
sponsibility of advising the border
states to continue war against the boil
sheviki, which course by such states
might be injurious to their interests.
If the bolsheviki attack within the ter
ritory of the border states, however,
the allies promise every possible sup
port"

PRESBREY-COYKENDALL
co. GIVES BONUS TO MEN
About 40 of Company's Barre Employees
Received Checks for $3.50 and
Will Receive Like Checks
at Three Other Times
in the Year.

Probably the first granite manufac-
turing plant in Barre TO issue extra
compensation as an incentive for quail
ity work and production to its en-
ployes and to adopt the ever-increasing
vogue among modern business estab-
lishments of profit-sharing with its
workers ia the Presbrey -Coykendatl
company with offices in New York City
and Barre The first compensation
money to reach the Barre men arrived
last week with a personal letter writ
ten to each man who was entitled to
the money. As matter of fact, all
the workmen did not receive this, but
only those whose records merited it,
according to the company. This money
was received by 40 granite workers, as
well as the foremen and office EN-
ployes.
John B. Magnaghi, vice-president and
general manager of the Barre plant,
stated this morning that this method
may be altered or improved in the com
ing wears. so that any dissatisfaction
win be eliminated and, if possible, a
fairer method of profit sharing adopted
for the benefit of all the workmen.
The letter which accompanied the
money reads as follows:
"Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find
check for S37 so which Is one-fourth OF
the extra compensation that you are to
receive for loyal and conscientious serv-
ice during the year 1919. This is based
on the profits shown and is an exten-
sion of a custom we have followed for
some time with our employees down
here and foremen and Office force at
the plant. We have decided now TO
include certain werkmen, who for long
and faithful service, as we'll as par
ticularly good quality of work done,
have helped to make a better showing
than usual. The total compensation
will be $3.50
"Our records show who among our
men are most valuable TO us and we
hope to be able to include many more
in the coming years. 1t is only by
united action that the result can be
| obtained. The officers of the Presbrey
Coykendall company feel that every
| man associated with them is factor
and really part of the business, and
while executives and money are abso-
lutely necessary, so too is the work
man. in order that all may have some
of the comforts of life and live in a
real American way Therefore, all
should participate in the success or
failure of the business. 1t will be
what we make it. We sincerely hope
that the year 1920 will be as good or
better than the year just past and
whatever the result, it will be a pleas
ure to share it with all who have a
part in making the business success
"You will receive checks for like
amounts on or about April |, July
and October l. Yours truly,
"Ths Presbrey Coykendall Co.
&c. H. Presbrey."

RIVER YIELDS FISH.
Air Shortage in Agawam Stream Drives

As though convulsed by some mighty
force. Agawam river has opened its
covering Of ice and is casting out tons
of fish" What had all the earmarks Of
a ''fish story" was confirmed by Deputy
Game Warden James 7. Hatch after an

Literally hundreds Of yellow perch

have been collected on the ice and
shore near Butterworth's cove in Aga

open where the swift current circles
sharply to the bank and prevents freez-
ing except under extreme cold.
Investigating the source Of an appar-
entity unlimited supply Of fresh iish,

Declared John A. Burke's
Lawyer in Opening De-
fense in Murder Case
POINTED OUT THAT
TIME WAS LACKING
According to the Chronol-
ogy Of Events Prepared
by the Prosecution

Skowhegan, Me-, Feb. 24.-Time is
the important factor in determining
the guilt or innocence of John a. Burke,
charged with the murder of Nelson w,
BARLEY, Thomas Leigh of Augusta
said in his opening address for the de-
tense after the state had rested its
case to-day in the trial of Burke in the
supreme court.
Upon the evidence submitted by the
state, it remains improbable and i'm
possible that Burke could have commit
ted the crime within the time limits
as they now stand, he claimed.
Attorney Leigh in opening said he
would appeal to the judgment and not
the sympathy of the jury, and laid a
good deal of stress on the fact that the
respondent was presumed to be inno'
cent until proven guilty.
He quoted from charge given IN
famous murder trial, which ne did not
name, by Chief Justice Shaw OF Mas
sachusetts, defining reasonable doubt.
Attorney Leigh claimed that Burke
had only IL minutes from the firing OF
the fatal shots until his departure from
the blow down in which the body
was found three days after the murder.
He said the evidence showed that seven
minutes at least must have been re-
Il bn nf htnnd
at the spot where it was evident the
body first fell.
This, he said, left only five minutes
for Burke to have dragged the body
of man feet II inches in height
and weighing ls5 pounds, around the
"blow down" and to have entered the
cave, dragged the body in and crawled
out
That Burke could have done this in
SO brief a time, then appear at his
home three miles away so shortly att
erward with boots and clothing dry
and unspotted by mud, Mr. Leigh
claimed, was utterly out of the ques-
ton
"In this element of time" he said,
"you have not guilty No. ~
The attorney took up the rigor NOR
tis phase, and claimed the evidence
plainly showed the body was not placed
in the cave until after rigor mortis
had set in. In this connection, he PAID
a tribute to "the old country physician
in the person of DIR. Boothby,' the
medical examiner who, under cross
examination, had testified that rigor
mortis had set in two hours before the
body was hidden in the cave.
Skowhegan, Me, Feb. 24.--'Several
witnesses were recalled and cross ex-
amined by counsel for John A. Burke

Ellsworth A. Piper, administrator OF
Bartley's estate, estimated the popu'
lation of Jackman Mt ! 900. He admit
ted that the estate held a note of Hen
nv Armstrong, one of the states wit
nesses who helped remove Bartley's
body from the cave in which it was
concealed.
Carlton VI. Googin, who previously
had testified that BARLEY finished sup
per at about 500 the night he dis
appeared, was closely questioned as q
visits he made elsewhere on that night
Henry Crowell. the land surveyor
