A sentence of four to seven
years at hard labor in State pri
son was imposed last Tuesday
on Frank G.. Rowland of Barre,
president of the Barre Savings
Bank & Trust Co., after he had
pleaded guilty to embezzle-
ment of the banks funds. The
charges on which he was arrest
ed set his thefts at $25, $3.50, but
when Rowland objected to an
item of $10,500 his admission
of guilt was accepted on the OF
her four counts aggregating
$15,485.
Rowland suffered a partial
collapse when sentence was pro
nounced. He had asked that
he be fined instead of imprison-
ed. 80 that he might be able to
assist in Strengthening out the
affairs of the institution, with
which he had been connected
for years and which was closed
as a result of his thefts FIVE
weeks ago.
He said he had not profted
by his manipulation of the fund
which had covered q period of
four years.

Mudxstt Convicted Of
Crime Of Eurdsl

Arthur Mudgett,alleg slay
er of Amy Shonio, was convict
ed of manslaughter at the La.
noble county court at Hyde
Park, last Monday. The jury
was given the case at HAS Q.
m. and returned a verdict at
10 o'clock in the afternoon.
Judge Moulton gave a very
careful and unbiased charge to
the jury calling the jurymen's
attention to the various verdict
that could be reached. He
told the Indictment of Mudgett
on July 31st and said that this
did not stand against the re-
spondent. He said the respon
dent could not be guilty unless
the jurymen were satisfied be-
yond a reasonable doubt of his
guilt of the charge made a.
gainst him.
The respondent should be pre-
sumed to be not guilty until
found guilty beyond a reasona-
BILE doubt. The credability of
the witnesses heard he said was
a matter for the jury to decide.
He said the fact that the re-
spondent did not take the
stand in his own defense,should
not count against him. He des
cribed in detail the various ver-
diets the jury should take in the
case. He said that the circum
stancial evidence was entitled
to the same weight as direct ev-
idence. He spoke of the weight
a motive had in the judging Of
evidence.
Spectators who have follow
ed the trial considered the
judges charge very fair and ex
tremely instructive to the jury
in weighing the evidence in the
case.
Court opened at l 80 o'clock
and was delayed owing to the
late arrival of trains from the
east and west. 1t was HOS
when Judge Moulton complet-
ed his charge and the jury re-
tired at :15.
Mudget was a very interest
ed spectator in the final pro-
ceedings. He watched intent
ly the faces of the IL men who
are to decide his fate as the
judge instructed them. His
sister Miss Josie Mudgett, and
his three brothers Perley, Er-
nest and Curtis, were in the
court room. The court room
was comfortably filled, the
which had ragged since
early morning, keeping many
from attending.
Mudgett was sentenced to
not less than 80 nor. more than
35 years at hard labor at the
State prison at Windsor. The
Jury was out less than four
hours, having received the case
at IL AS am. and filing back at
3:12 pm. Judge Moulton's
charge occupied about half an
hour this morning. Mudgett
was indicted for first degree
murder.
Immediately after Judge
R. Moulton had pro-
the sentence, which he
did after a three-quarters of An
hour conference with Judge
Waterman, counsel for Mudget
met. They are understood to
have decided to take an appeal
in the case, exceptions having
been noted.

With the Greek Army in the Field, October -Mustapha Nemars dar- ing cavalrymen and irr,.gulars who are scattered about Anatolia have given the Greek army a great deal of anxiety by their attacks upon Greek supply columns and their bold att tempts to capture the Creek general staff.
 Crown Prince George of Greece had a narrow escape from injury in one of these Turkish surprise attacks and was hurriedly taken to place of safety. It was the first real danger he had experienced since he came to the front. While the Greek army was. advancing toward Angora, thousands of these Turks in the rear of the Greek line, were constant menace to the Greek communications. They turned up wien least expected. They advanced quietly to their positions at night and began their attacks at day break.
 When the Associated Press corre- spondent was at Uzumbek, south of the Sakaria river, several hundred of these Turkish horsemen descended upon the village and attempted to carry off the general staff, including General Papoulas, commander-in- chef, and Prince George. They shelled the barracks and tents of the Greeks and kept up a steady rifle and machine-gun fire.
 One of their shells fell within 40 yards of Crown Prince George, but fortunately it did not explode.

Tiflis, October 22-(By Staff Correspondent of The Associated Press )-This city. under Soviet rule, tears many resemblances to another city of unique beauty, Budapest, Hungary, when that gay place of opera and fine streets and houses and handsome people was favored by a Soviet, under the ardent Bella Kun, in the spring and summer of 1919 Before that time both were wealthy and well-cared for, despite a long and disastrous war. Business was fairly brisk, shops were filled with expensive articles, with all that the heart desired in adornment.
 When the correspondent saw this city of Tiflis two years ago. it's mag nificent Georgian club, huge mu- nicipal resort open to rich and poor was the scene of unbounded gaiety Here public hospitality was handed out broadly to all strangers. It's little theatre was filled with good dancers and actors and singers.
 Now. until the opera reopens. it is the sole place of amusement, except the movies. It is attended by red sol diers, its gardens filled by faded street beauties of the other sex, while those bourgeoisie who have been un- able to flee hold forth in a modest little restaurant downstairs called the Cafe de Paris. Its manager s the former proud owner of the Ho- tel Orient He is a Frenchman.
 People do strange things in the name of liberty" is his summing up of the situation. As matter of fact. they like this new liberty so well that both poor and rich would like to get away from it.
 In Tiflis some things are better ordered than they were in Soviet Budapest. There is food to be had.

SERVE SELF CAFE
 SOLVES PROBLEM
 IN YOSEMITE PARK
Food Furnished Tourists at Medium Prices Far
 From Railroad

Yosemite, Cal, October 22-A cafe teria in the Yosemite National park, miles from the big cities where tray carriers generally arc found, this year apparently solved problem of furnishing food at medium prices for tourists far from railroad. During the last five months, approximately 250,000 meals were served at an av- craze cost of about 4s cents each. /
 The cafeteria was the first ever established In any national park and 1t has been so successful that other parks have written for details of It's operations. 1t Is probable that the idea will be copied.
 Secretary Fall of the department of the interior while here this summer became a tray carrier at the cafe teria and declared he though the es- tablishment was a step in the right direction to provide good accamno- datiops at the lowest possible prices.
 Food served in the cafeteria is the same quality as that served in To- charging as high as S7.50 and $I0 per day. The prices differ little from those in cafeterias in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The food is sold at cost as employers of the National Park company make up about half the cafeteria's patrons

DARING TURK CAV ALRYMEN ALMOST CAPTURE HEADQUARTERS OF CREEKS AND CROWN PRINCE IS ENDANGERED

The Greek general staff was pre- pairing to move 35 miles nearer the front, and the Turkish assault from the rear took them completely by sur prise. Only the fact that headquart- CTS had 300 infantrymen available saved the whole Greek executive or ganization from capture.
 Had the Turks come the day before they would have found only hand- -ful of men to oppose them, and it is probable at least part of the Greek staff would have fallen into their hands.
 The Turkish ealvarymen galloped across the low lying hills at daybreak and took up positions about mile from the village in which Greek gen. eral headquarters were located At the sound of the alarm from Creek sentries on the crests, General Papou- las ordered every available man, even clerks, typists and orderlies, to take up rifles. The Turkish sheels ana bullets were humming overhead.
 Within a few minutes the Greeks had several hundred men ready to ans wer the Turkish attack. The en- emys fire was so hot and close that the Creeks were able to advance only solwly They were soon joined by other forces, however, and after two hours of sustained rifle and machine gun fire the kemalists were obliged to fall back.
 Then they took refuge in the dis tant rayines and valleys. and the Greeks returned to their work of transferring general headquarters to another spot.

 The homes of Tiflis, once so vast and elegant in their hospitality, arc still outwardly handsome, but the in- teriors are different. Most have been requisitloned and divided, with their furniture slowly finding it's way to the pawnshops.. One man, formerly prominent as a politician, has had all of his fine residence taken from him and each time he finds a fur nished room it-is requisitioned at the order of some old enemy, until now he has been made to move eight times.
 There Is still enough clothes left from the old days so that nobody ap- pears shabby Of work for a living there is little Or none The only cilivilizing influence left Is the Near East relief. There the correspondent met woman looking for work. She was from Riga and had lived i5 years teaching languages in Tiflis. But now she had no one to whom to give lessons or who could pay for them. Work under the Soviet was of no use, she said, because 1t paid only 10000 rubles a month, the price of few pounds of bread.
 She was now engaged in selling food and clothing in the markets on commission. but the profit was so lit tie. and, courageous as she apeared to be, she begged with tears In her eyes for any kind of place, sewing. scrubbins floors--"anything." What would happen when winter came she dared not think. like many thousands of others.
