France and Great Britain
Apparently Getting
Together
BRITISH PLAN WOULD
DIVIDE COUNTRY
Giving Poland and Ger
many the Communes
Voting for Them

Paris, May 25 (By the Associated
Press The latest plan for the set
tlement of the upper Silesian contro
versy, supposedly British suggestion
is to give Poland and Germany, respec
lively, the communes that voted in
their favor at the recent plebiscite, but
TO hold the entire territory under con-
troll of a special commission for 30
years.
Under the plan, this commission
would be appointed by the league of
nations and at the end of the 30-year
period the population of the region
would again be given the opportunity
TO express their wishes.
The exchanges of views between
London and Paris on the question are
continuing, notwithstanding the de.
bate in the chamber of deputies, and
the feeling in French official circles to-
day was that the allies were coming
together.

HAD SAWED TWO BARS
AND THEN GAVE 1T UP
Two Men in Washington County Jail
for Middlesex Break Lost Their
Nerve as Sheriffs
Watched.

Frank Cassidy and Fred Edwards
held in Washington county jail to an
swer charges of robbery at Richmond
and Middlesex, may have additiona
charges of attempting to break jai
brought against them. Sheriff F. II
Tracy and Deputy Sheriff H. c. Law
son report having foiled an attempt by
the men to saw their way out of Jail
Sheriff Tracy received a tip from q
Montpelier merchant that a hacksaw
and blades and a monkeywrench had
been purchased at his store under cir
cumstances which to him looked sus-
picious. Taking the tip, Sheriff Tracy
informed his deputies and they watched
the proceedings each night for several
nights; and if the men had been able
to get out of the Jail they would have
run against minions of the law.
After making an effort to bend the
bars so that they could get out and
having failed, the men sent for Sheriff
Tracy and confessed the job. They said
that two bars had been sawed off, and
the officers, on making an eXamina-
tion, found the bars had been nicely
soaped to cover the breaks, The rooms
were searched and the officers found
two blades, hacksaw and a monkey
wrench, which showed that it had been
used. One of the blades was not found
for some time but later discovered in
the coat of one of the men. One of the
men said they had tried to twist the
bars out at the bottom but realizing
their inability to do that they con
fessed to get ahead of being found out.
The sheriffs are somewhat disap-
pointed that the men did not have the
nerve to continue their operations be-
cause they wished for the chance to
surprise the men when they emerged
from the Jail window. The men told the
officers they had talk with their at
torney yesterday afternoon and were
told there was no chance to convict
them of the Middlesex breaks.
When arrested at the Union house in
a few weeks ago, Cassidy
and Edwards had a quantity of arti
lies in the room, some of which were

Now Amounts to $70,967,
Making a Gain of $1,835
During Year
REAL ESTATE SHOWS
A MARKED GAIN
Personal Property Is In
creased Slightly and
Polls Fell Off

Although having experienced some oi
the effects of business depression
throughout the country, Barre this
| year has a grand list somewhat larger
than last year, according to the figures
just completed and filed by the asses
sors for inspection by the taxpayers.
The total appraisal is S7,096,700, max
ing grand list of S70,967, as compared
with S69,l last year, or a gain of
81 1876.
Both real estate and personal prop
erty show an increase, that of the for
mer being well toward a quarter of
million dollars, while the personal
property has done a little better than
hold its own. The number of polls list
ed is 5,562,, as compared with 3.l04, the
difference being due to the fact that
under recent law women, as well as
men, are listed. Inasmuch as the poll
tax valuation for taxation purposes
was cut from two dollars to one dol
lar by that same law, the income to
the city from poll taxes will be some
what reduced, Last years figures CON
tanned the names of some women and
also many Implications. The polls were
taken this year with a purpose to re.
duee these Implications as much as pos
sible. The female poll taxpayers repre-
sent All per cent of the total.
A comparison of the grand list fig
ures filed by the assessors, which are
subject to slight correction perhaps,
with the figures of last year is here
