F. G.. ROWLAND
SENT TO PRISON
Pleads Guilty TO Embezzlement from His
Bank-COllapseS When He
Hears Sentence.

BARRE, Dec. 29.-For the last 30
of trust, Frank q. Rowland, aged 81,
president of the Barre Savings Bank &
Trust company, yesterday pleaded guilty
in city court to the embezzlement of
bank funds and was sentenced by Judge
Edwin l.. Scott to serve from four to
seven years at hard labor in the state
prison at Windsor, Rowland suffered a
partial collapse when sentence was pro-
nounced.
Following his plea he had sat with
bowed head, conscious of the disgrace
which he had brought upon himself but
confident ill the thought that the penalty
TO be imposed would be Il fine rather
than Imprisonment.
He had specially asked the first form
of punishment, arguing that if he were
allowed to retain his liberty he might be
able to assist in Strengthening out the
affairs of the institution with which he
had been affiliated since its organization.
When Judge MOultOn voiced sentence
and Rowland learned that his plea had
been ignored, the realization of his fate
was so great a shock that he dropped
into his chair and made no effort to re-
strain his feelings.
The charges on which Rowland was
arrested set his theft at S25,0S0, but
when he objected to the inclusion of an
item of $4,000, his admission of guilt
was accepted on the four other counts
aGgregating $4,000.
Rowland, who has declared that he IN
no way profited by his manipulation of
bank funds. has gone to the bank nearly
every day since it was closed, five weeks
ago by George Il. Carpenter, state bank
commissioner. and he has volunteered
his assistance to Mr.. Carpenter in the
checking up of accounts and other mat
tiers.
The convicted banker. who was born
in Boston, located in Barre in 1885, and
has enjoyed good reputation here. He
was educated in the public schools of
East Montpelier and graduated from
Montpelier seminary. He served as a
member of the Vermont house in 1892
and 1917, and was Il member of the
state senate in 1919.
His banking career began with the
National bank of Barre. with which he
served successfully as teller, cashier
aud president. Later he became treas
urer of the Barre Savings Bank &
Trust company and then president. He
was an incorporation and the president
of the Granite Mutual Insurance COM
pany, and has been a trustee of the
Barre City hospital and French's Barre
library. While in the legislature he was
chairman of the banking and insurance
committee and a member of the commit
tees on judiciary and public affairs.
One of the results of the closing of
the Barre Savings Bank & Trust com
pany has been the bankruptcy proceed
ingS against John Arioli, u merchant in
Barre. The first meeting of the cred
itors of his estate was he'd yesterday
end W. \. Drew, a former treasurer Of
the bank. was appointed trustee. Mr.
Drew resigned from the bank a few
years ago.

SATELLITE CITIES.
Test of "AII-Sufficienf' Small CGmmun-
ity Set for Near London,

Much interest has bcenrtaken through
out England in new plan for the buibd-
ing of a city about 20 miles from Lon
don on model lines. Under this Welwyn
Garden City scheme it is intended that
town of ultimately about 10000 inhab-
itantS shall be gradually constructed as
a complete unit, with its own factories
warehouses. shops and residences. in con-
trast TO the many districts which are
almost exclusively confined to dwelling
houses for people who go into the me-
trcPOlis daily in pursuit of their liveli-
mood. Such places have come to be
known as d1rmitory suburbs. and the
new scheme is based on the theory that
the only solution of the whole problem
of comfortable housing and convenient
transport is to set up instead what are
described as satellite cities, in the sense
that London itself is the center of all
things. but that within n radius of 20
t. - miles there should be a ring of
these almost self-contained communities
An interesting feature of the scheme is
that the capital provided will only re-
cciye a maximum interest of seven per
cent, and as the town is gradually built
anv increment of values arising from the
settlement of the. people win be conserved
for their own social NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

movement must not be hindered by the
provisions Of the Sherman law. enacted
to control trusts and not with any intent
to curb cooperation for the benefit of
the pablo at large
The federal reserve act should be
amended so as to provide preferential
rates for loans for productive purposes
over loans for speculative purposes.

the wife of Sir Edward Wnslow, first

SEA GUARDS PIRATE GOLD.
Supposed Buried Treasure ReSists Efforts
TO Regain It,

On Oak Island, Nova Scotia. there is
buried a great treasure. 1t is believed to
be the blood stained loot of pirates. and
although its exact location is known. hui
man hands have failed to raise it from
its pit. The discovery was first made in
] 95. when three young men found an iron
ring in a rock as if a vessel had been
moorcd there. Near it was indication of
hole rcillcd. They dug, and at 10 feet
discovered wooden plank and at 20 feet
and again at 30 feet. They had no money
to continue operations but six years later
a company was formed and with machines
and tools got down to 30 feet. where they
found a rock bearing the words. Under
me is t2.O00.O0O0." Before they could go
deeper the sea rushed in and filled the
shaft \ second shaft was sunk and that.
too. was filled by the sea. The company
went broke
In 1919 a third attempt was made, and
this time borings showed that at 100 feet
there was gold and silver To a depth of
22 inches. The sea drove the workmen
out in failure to open the shaft. In 1896
and 1911 other attempts were made. the
last very elaborate with a Golfer dam built
by engineers. But the sea laughed at their
efforts and filled the shafts with water
and quicksand and seemingly the treasure
will never be uncoyercd-Detroit News.

Government Officials PerpleXed-DO Not
Want to Drive Legitimate Medicines
from Market - Nearly 5000 Earie-
ties Are Under the Ban.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Life will
continue to grow less alcoholic if the
prohibition organizations that maintain
Hobbies in Washington succeed in Undue
ing the treasury department to rule out
of order between 1000 and 5000 patent
medicines now being manufactured in
the United States. These organizations
headed by the Anti-Salon League Of
America, they announced. viii fight the
reissue of licenses under the Eolstead
act to manufacturers of medicines who
use alcohol in their preparation. The
licenses are for the coming year
The Anti-Saloon league, the Mrtho&
dist board Of temperance and the Won
ems Christian Temperance union are
active in the movement, declaring the
medicines are not sold generally for their
medicinal properties but for beverage
purposes. Wayne =. Wheeler, general
counsel for the Anti-salOon league, de
clared that the campaign is on and that
the organizations seek to prevent the
further manufacture of between 1000
and 5000 varieties of patent medicines.
This takes in the list Of medicines which
might in any way be used for beverage
purposes. including those with formulas
of long standing.
Under the VOIstead act it is the duty
of the treasury department through the
prohibition enforcement service to issue
licenses for the manufacture OF such
medicine Little attention was paid to
the situation at first, the legitimate
manufacturers being allowed to continue
under formulas which were presented to
the government for examination.
The prohibition agitatorS, however.
having succeeded in obtaining the adOp-
ton Of the 18th amendment. sought new
fields to conquer, and 50 they set about
to learn what they could of the
sale of patent medicines that con-
tain alcohol. They have sent agents
into the field to visit old bar
suspected of dispensing medicines for
beverage purposes, and manufacturing
plants that engaged in the work. Their
findings have covered many volumes,
and the prohibition service has been
flooded. almost, with the documentary
evidence which the prohibitionists hope
will make a case for themselves.
The situation presents difficult
problem for the prohibition enforcement
service. The government does not wish
Of course. to see legitimate medicines
driven off the market simply because
certain persons with thirst are willing
to brave the effect Of the medicines IN
order to get the alcohol.
The treasury department intends to
handle the situation with considerable
care. despite the anxiety of the proh'hl-
tiou organizations that they tax" Imme-
diate action.

ORDERS LIQUOR RETURNED.
Commissioner Hayes Acts Under New
Ruling on VOlstead Act.

BOSTON Dec. 29.-The right of Unit
ed States commissioners to return seized
liquors to defendants found not guilty of
violations Of the Nolstr"d Act under which
they have been arrested, wa used for the
first time in this federal district yesterday
when United States Commissioner Hayes
stated that when proper papers were
drawn up 500 quarts of fine liquors would
be returned to Thomas T. Harnpy Al
Washington street, Brighton, from whom
they were seized Dec 10.
Commissioner Hayes informed Assistant
United States Attorney James \. Tatton,
prosecuting the case, that under a recent
ruling power to return liquors seized un-
der the Volstead Act had been given to
United States commissioners, and that in
the case on trial he proposed to act on
this right.
Evidence was offered by Harvey that
the liquors had been in his possession law
fully before prohibition became effective
and his attorney, T. J. Connolly of Brigh-
ton. allowed the defense to stand on this
point. No evidence was presented by the
government to contradict this contention,
Commissioner Hayes ruled.
