WASHINGTON, April 14-Presi-
dent Wilson and his cabinet met and
discussed the railway strike for more

reached some conclusion, but there
was no intimation as to its nature.

STRIKE TO BE RELEASED

LONDON, April 14-Andrew Bon

said in the House Of Commons today
that the Irish government had decided
to treat the prisoners in Mt. Joy
prison, who were arrested on suspic-
ion by competent military authority,
different from other classes of prison.
ers and they would receive amelora-
tive treatment. He made this an
nouncement in reply to a question by
T. p. O'Connor, the Irish nationalist
leader. His statement is taken to
mean that the government has recon
sidered it's attitude of allowing the
prisoners to commit suicide by hun
ger strike if they desired to do so.
1t is assumed that the new ruling
will affect most, if not all, of the
hunger strikers in the Mt Joy prison.
A despatch from Dublin says the
hunger strikers are to be released I'M
At the Irish Office here it
was said that no such report had been
heard of and it was not believed such
a step was contemplated.
DUBLIN, April 1.-the general
strike declared yesterday in protest
against the treatment of political
prisoners continued today with added
tenseness and increased fears of seri-
Gus developments. Sixty thousand
workers in Dublin alone are on strike
and feeling of pronounced excite
ment prevailed throughout the capl-
tol. The daywas marked by a fatal
ity when an officer was shot and XII
led while on plain clothes duty. His
assailant fired two shots and escaped.

er Festivities that n. H.
Russians Had Planned

Peter Moehytz, Russian, Of Ber-
lin, N. H., together with several OF
his friends in that city made elabor-
atd preparations for big celebration
in honor of the Jewish Easter. All
arrangements were complete with
exception of the liquor end of the
program and the festivities were GER
tain to be rather quiet without
"fire water, so Moehtyz was elected
a committee of one to produce the
whiskey. Learning that he would be
able to get some of the prohibited
beverage in Beecher Falls, Moehytz
started for that place. He was sue
cessful in obtaining five gallons of
high wines for which he paid the
princely sum of $125.
After securing the whiskey, Moe
hytz carried it short distance from
bushes near the railroad track, plan
the town and hid it in clump of
ming to go after it during the dark
hours of the night. Customs officers
learned of the plan and two of the
inspectors stationed themselves near
the whiskey and waited for Moehytz
who appeared in the early morning
hours. He was Immediately arrest

was given a hearing before United

Pcrlcy F. Hazcn, trustee of the
St. Johnsbury Academy read a paper
in which he made frank statement
of all conditions regarding this
school. In part he sad:
1t has been stated that students
of the academy are denied admission
to colleges upon certificate and arc
admitted in most instances only upon
conditions. The matter of admission
to college upon certifiate is in the
hands of the New England College
Entrance Certificate Board, and the
certificate privilege is given or with
held for limited periods, depending
upon whether the work of the pupils
from any given school has been salts
factory or unsatisfactory in any Of
the eleven colleges represented on the
certificate board. The certificate
board has recently voted to extend
to the graduates of our academy, for
the usual period, the privilege Of
admission upon certificate to the New
England colleges represented on the
board, and the colleges in and outside
of New England which are not mem
bers of the board accept the certif-
Gates of our academy where the cert-
iicatcs of any secondary school are
accepted.
Furthermore, during the last two
years twenty-seven pupils, constitut-
ing more than 40 per cent ot those
graduating from the academic course
at our academy, have entered colleges
or other schools of advanced educa-
ton, and all of these pupils entered
such institutions without condition.

Evidence which the department has
received was declared to justify the
statement that the strike was to be
merely step of the wellknown plan
of the Communist group and that the
end and aim was a mass strike to be
followed by revolution. Reports re-
garding the Communists Internation-
ale part in the strike were understood
to have been laid before President
Wilson and the cabinet today by At
torney General Palmer, but those pre-
sept persisted in their silence as taal

make the proper preparation. That
their instruction in the academy was
thorough and adequate has been de-
monstrated by their college work, one
of them having won first prize in a
competitive examination in mathema-
tics open to the freshman class num-
bering about three hundred.
From the foregoing it must clearly
appear that any statement implying
either directly OF indirectly that the
present standard of instruction in our
academy does not permit the entrance
OF its graduates to higher education
al institutions except upon conditions,
is not only without foundation and
carelcssly made, but is serious in
justice both to our academy and TO
the pupils who have the capacity and
ambition to continue their education
in colleges and other advanced
schools.
In opening the meeting President
Edgar r. Brown gave a brief inau-
gural, full of helpful suggestions. His
address follows:
When President John w. Thomas
of Middlebury College was asked
some two years ago by friend who
had never been in St. Johnsbury, what
he could tell him about the place, he
replied: 1T is one Of the finest towns
in Vermont and has one of the best
Commercial Clubs IN the State" I
was impressed at the time by his
specific allusion to the Club evident
ly there was associated in his mind a
most intimate relationship, even as
