PRISON FOR MILL ROBBERY
Well-to-Do Farmer Fined $500 and
Gets One to SIX Yesrs--MaIkcs
Restitution

Montpelier, Aug. 8.-Sumner Stearns.
well-to-do farmer Of Waterbury and
r. F. D. carrier. pleaded guilty in Mont
peier City Court Saturday morning to the
charge Of breaking and entering the mill
Of E. T. Seabury in the village Of Water
bury In the night time and was given a
fine of $500 and costs and sentenced TO the
States prison for not less than one year
nor more than six. In addition to this
he made restitution TO Mr.. Seabury of
s2,00 as debt for the feed he had taken
and paid s565, the book account which he
had at the mill. In all he has paid over
5000 to Mr.. Seabury.
Mr.. Seabury last winter satisfied him
self that he was losing feed from his mill
regularly, but. all efforts to catch the man
failed Recently Mr.. Crowley of the
James r. Wood detective agency has
been employed on the Job, with the re-
suit that Friday night he caught the
man and Mr. Stearns was brought to
Montpelier Saturday morning, pleading
guilty.
Stearns had used long pole and by
pushing this through the cap hole in the
side of the building was able to unbar
the door to the mill. He would enter the
mill. remove what feed he wanted to the
platform outside and then rebolt the door,
afterward going to his home. About day
break he would go back to the mill and
remove the feed to his home IT is under
stood that he expected to say, If anyone
saw him, that the feed had been left
out at his request the previous night that
he might get it early that morning.
He kept fairly good account OF the
feed he had taken away and, according
to this. it amounted to $500. The res
mainder of the s22o0 is for expenses.

URGES COOPERATION
National Funeral Directors' President
Asks for "Best Ethical Standards
of Profession"

Rutland. Aug. 6.-"There are Away big
difficulties In applying abstract rules of
moral conduct to business" said John F.
Martin, OF Elizabeth. N. j.. president OF
the National Funeral Directors associa-
ton in his speech delivered before the
Vermont Funeral Directors and Embalm-
ers association at the Goth annual con-
Vention here to-day But in all lines
to-day the effort is being made. We are
confronted with new conditions. and the
man whose desire in life is to do right
must aid in the adjustment TO new con-
ditions. The man of twenty or twenty
five years ago learned a great new lesson.
He discovered that he could do better in
business by cooperating with his COM
petitors than in fighting them, and so the
great combination. trusts and labor unions
came into being. The man Of tomorrow
will make his success by cooperating
not only with his competitors but with
the public. This Is the great new idea
that Is Just dawning on the business and
professional world. Now to get into line
and be ready for what is going to happen
there are several things for us 10 do. and
II we strive to do these things faithfully
we shall be taking the steps that are
necessary TO lift our business out of the
dust of mere commercalism into the
higher and clearer air of q true profession
How. then, shall we go about it? Ir
the first place. We must get the confidence
of the people, and TO do that we mus
hold ourselves up to the best ethica
standards Of a profession. From a news
paper article printed not so long ago
quote the following:

ine TO reform the old custom.
"There ia nothing In the fact of death
that Is morbid or uncanny. It Ia because
death has been associated with so much
that is morbid and uncanny that people
have such fear of It. In the old cemeter-
les we find the skull and crossbone on
tombstones. our ideas of death are
n,xed with superstitions of our pagan
ancestors You do not find in the Bible
all that stuff Shakespeare has about
yawning graves. shivering ghosts. sounds
at midnight from the graveyards. That
is all barbaric paganism. Yet it is to
those things that we owe to-day all that
is horrible in our idea of death.
Now, I feel that this association
that this profession-can do a great deal
to lessen the fear of death. to present
death in its true light There will be
many who will still prefer to wear crepe,
cover their faces with heavy wells, en-
phasise every symptom of grief. Old ways
are hard to change. but they are being
changed.
I'm the professions something more than

LITTLE BOY ELECTROCUTEO
Was Playing with Wet Cord Used to
Raise Street Light-Hit High
High Voltage Wire

Morrisvllle, Aug. 1o.-Adolph Raymond,
the l2-year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
RAYMOND was electrocuted on the Arthur
Waite corner about s:15 this morning
while playing with a wet cord used to
raise and lower the electric light on the
corner of Maple and Main streets.
He was seen to take hold of the cord
above the winding block and swing 1t back
and forth, evidently getting a slight shock
when 1t hit the high voltage arc light
wire. Probably he pulled little too hard
and held it for an instant against the live
wire. making a perfect circuit as he stood
on the wet ground in his bare feet.
Medical aid was summoned. but all
efforts to bring back the spark Of life were
unavailing. He is survived by his parents
three brothers and six sisters.
The only mark on him was on his left
hand. which was badly burned.
