SAVED MONEY TO STATE.
Mrs. Jessie Solomon's watchfulness
Detected Fraud.

Mrs. Jessie Solomon of Barre, clerk
in the state treasurer's office, through
her watchfuIness Of the claims for
money which persons have been max
ing for bonus money for war service
has probably saved the state a con
siderable sum of money and further
more ii was through her ability to rec
ognize the signature of Clerk Curley Of
Burlington that Francis Fox Is in Gus
tody and that he has admitted, il is
alleged, getting funds through that ef-
fort.
As far as could be learned, he had
been signing his name TO applications
for money and some had been honored.
Some Of these came from Bennington,
Cambridge and Colchester; but when
he tried to get one over from Burling-
ton ID was his undoing for the sigma
ture was at once recognized as not
that of Clerk Curley, and Mrs. Solo
mon went TO Burlington'on the matter
the last of last week, with the re-
suit that Fox was arrested.
While the sum obtained from the
state is small just now how far the
work has been carried is not yet
known. The outcome Of the matter is
being watched with no small amount
of interest. Mrs. Solomon. after recog-
nizing Clerk Curley's bogus signature,
took the matter up with State Treas
urer W. Il. Scott.

SOUTHERN N. ENGLAND
RECOVERING SLOWLY
From the Effects of One Of the Worst
Sleet Storms Ever
Known.

Boston, Nov. 30.--Under the first
sunshine in four days, New England
began to thaw out to-day and to
slough the icy burden left by success
sive storms.
The shedding process laid bare the
damage, running into millions OF doi,
lars, which by falling trees, poles and
wires, Frustrated electric lighting, tel
ephone, telegraph and street railway
services to an extent seldom surpassed.
In the case OF the electric and tele-
phone companies, it was announced
that their difficulties were unprece-
dented. Railroads also suffered, the
Boston & Maine, and Boston & Albany
being without wires, but through man
patrols and human operation of usual
mechanical devices, trains were run
but little behind time.
The extent of the damage was so
great that recovery will be slow. Fur
ther nights Of darkness-Nre in pros
peet for nearly half hundred cities
and towns; street railway service in
suburbs will not be normal for a week
or more, and with thousands of tele-
phone lines out of commission toll con.
nections can be restored only in days
and individual services probably in
weeks.

made idle by the closing of mills, fac.

electricity for power were still out OF
work in most cases, but with hope Of
early return.

BELLOWS FALLS CHIEF
OF POLICE OUSTED
On Complaint That He Had Not Been
Active Enough Since Paper Mill
Strike Started.

Bellows. Falls, Nov. Following
special meeting OF the board of trus-
tees Monday evening, Chief Of Police
w. S. Severance, who has headed the
local police force for the past IA years,
was asked to resign Immediately. Mr..
Severance stated that he desired to
complete his term of office, but that
if the trustees insisted, he would ten
der his resignation.
Chief Severance has come in for
much criticism since the beginning OF
the paper mill strike last May J..
largely on the ground that he wasn't
showing enough activity in the per-
formance Of his duties. Complaints
from a certain faction have been nu-
merous, and the trustees at a regular
meeting last Friday evening talked
over the desirability OF change. Pres
ident Of the village corporation, w. G..
Smith, visited 25 merchants in the
square subsequent TO Fridays meeting,
and finding % of this number desirous
of an immediate change, he called the
second meeting Monday night.
Capt. Henry of Springfield, who has
been on the local force of special po-
lice during the last two months, was
Immediately placed in Office as tenn
porary chief. The regular police will
be retained, and with them the six
or eight special police who have been
on duty the past month. Captain Hen

vile, Va, where he was one time chief
of police, and from Springfield, Mass,

A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT
Provided at woman's Club Reception

Teachers of Barre City and Town
were entertained uniquely by the
Woman's club last evening in How

Frank o. Hokerk, and an able commit
tee, Miss Stella M. Brooks, Mrs. Y. a.,

Assembly" followed, where under
the efficient direction of Miss Il. Mar
ion Dorward, chorus singing of old
songs was enjoyed by all. A farce. en-
titled ''The Examination" coached by
Miss Blanche Tilden, proved very en-
tertaining. The characters, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Horace Richardson; Miss Jones,
Mrs Florence Trembley; the madame,

trionic talent and careful training.
After their spirited execution Of "Over

responded and gave for an encore "The
Stars and Stripes"
Assignment to classes followed,
where lessons were prepared under ca
pable pedagogucs. The first class TO
recite was that Of Current Events,
which, under the guidance Of Eva G,

Judge W. 8 alton Of the commits
sion, before % om the petition was
heard yest,A afternoon, suggested
to the company, before announcing the
adverse decision, that the times are
abnormal and that the order made
last spring had to do with normal con-
ditions. He suggested also that the
rate of money was different now than
it was some months ago and that re-
production was lower than it used TO
be. SO that the old appraisal would
not be worth much.
The rate asked for by the company
was that "the first 40 XIV used per
month for each horsepower Of connect
ed load win be sold at the following
rates: First 200 XIV hrs. at S.07 per
XIV hr; next 300 XIV hrs, at sos per

There seemed TO be some misunder-
standing relative to the petition. The
company thought the petition opened
up the whole question. while the com
mission and S. III. jackson and +. II.
Deavitt, attorneys who appeared for
the patrons of the company, did not
SO understand the situation. The COM
mission evidently did not care to enter

at this time if new rates were to be
under consideration, and Judge Dut-

provided by the statutes. The com
pany's attorneys, +. f. Gleason and
Allen Hollis, said they had chosen the
method they had followed because they
thought it would help the commission
and they did not wish to be misunder-
stood.
In making petition for re-hearing,
the company declared that the $50
called fuel charge was proposed by the
company because it believed the same
to be an equitable method of distribut-
ing among the power consumers the
additional charges which the company
believed it needed in order to obtain
adequate revenue. That while the COM
p.ny is unable to accept as sound the
criticisms Of the fuel charge which were
made at the hearing and TO some ex-
tent bv the commission in its report, in
view of the disapproval of this charge,
as such. by customers and commission
alike, the company is compelled to eeek

FAvoRs WOMAN JURORS.
But Judge Fish Does Not Think Yer
mont Law Very Clear.

Rutland, Nov. 3O.-"My ambition is
TO see women serving as jurors but the
law does not make il entirely plain that
they may do SO" Superior Judge Frank
/. Fish OF Vergennes, said to the Rut-
land Woman's club members at a meet
ing yesterday afternoon at Trinity
Parish house at which he discussed
@The Legal Status of Women in the
State Of Vermont He explained that
IL the women were regularly drawn
with a panel he would permit her TO
serve on petit jury but not as a grand
Juror or a talesman for he did not see
how a woman could be turned into a
~judicious man"
The speaker expressed the hope that
the Vermont statutes would be
amended so that women could act as
Jurors without question.
The laws OF Vermont were explained
70 the audience as they affected ofiice
holding by women. property rights,
marriage laws. the woman's relation TO
her children and suffrage.
Judge Fish said that he thought that
the women of Vermont were not behind
those Of other states in their property
rights.
