Polish nation that has its own savior.
This magnificent victory consoli-
dates the Polish state. whose existence

EIGHT YEARS TERM
Imposed on John La France for a
Statutory Offsnse.

Rutland, Aug. 2o.--When John La
France pleaded guilty TO statutory
offense involving his l2-year old step
daughter before City Judge George NJ.
Goddard at Thursday evening ses
sion of city court, he was sentenced
to serve no less than eight nor more
than IL years at hard labor at the
state prison in Windsor. This is one
of the stiffest sentences imposed in city
court in many years. States Attof.
ney P. NJ. NJ. Phelps appeared for
the state, and the respondent was rep
resented by Attorney W. H. Botsford
of this city.
States Attorney Phelps in discuss
ing the case strongly recommended
that La France be given sentence
of at least 10 years in view of the Sc.
robustness of the crime, and he cited
reasons why Mr.. La France should re-
ceive the above punishment. Attor-
ney Botsford in speaking for his client
admitted that the crime was serious
but that in view of his client coming
into court and pleading guilty, thereby
saving the state considerable expense,
these things should be taking into con
sideration. He pointed out also that
up to this time La France had always
been q Law abiding citizen.

PLEASED WITH BARRE PLANT.
Selling Agent Visits Peerless Factory
Looks for Good Business.

John McGoey of New York CITY,
head OF the firm of Barnes, McGoey
and Ellery, 349 Broadway, one of the
best known selling agents of under
wear in the country, was in Barre yes
terday for the purpose of inspecting
the plant of the Peerless Knitting Mills
Co., which is now nearing completion
in the matter of equipment. The firm
is about to become distributors of the
Peerless mills products and it was for
this purpose of getting first hand in
formation of the facilities and condi-
tions about the Barre factory that Mr..
McGoey made the trip to Barre. He
was shown about by President r. A.
Scott, Superintendent Lyons and Dircc-
tors Fred d. Ladd and Fred H. Rogers.
Mr. Mccoy was very much pleased
with the Barre plant of the Peerless
Co., expressing the opinion that it was
one of the best in the country al
though, of course, by no means one of
the largest. "One of the main essen.
bidiS dpoui ldCtoi y VI tHiS hiHu,
he said, sis light and air; and the
Peerless factory certainly is well pro-
vided in that respect" He added, too,
that the equipment and all the other
facilities of the plant were first class
and only to be found in the most mod
ern of such factories.
Referring to the market conditions
throughout the country, Mr.. McGory
radiated optimism and said that the
reports coming in from wide sections
of the country indicated a state of
prosperity which would be bound to |
make business hum once the country |
settled down. He said that western
ers brought to New York some reports |
of bumper crops in many lines; and |
bumper crops mean the foundation for |
good business. There was certain 1
element of uncertainty, he admitted,
but this he laid in large measure to
the political situation, something which |
would be done away with in due time.
Mr.. McGoey expressed the opinion that
the business of the country was in
fair way to become excellent, and he
believed that the Peerless Knitting
Mills Co, with its modern plant. was
prepared to share in this period of good
times. Mr.. McGoey returned TO New
York last night.
The Peerless plant in Barre is not
vet really in operation, there being only
I comparatively few machines set up
because of the delay in transmission of
he shipments.
