H. MERLE B0TTUM
DIED EARLY TODAY
AT SHAT FTSBURY
Ill but Few Hours before Pass

BREEDER OF HOLSTEINS
Herd Had Probably Been Longer
Established than Any
Other in Vermont
BREEDER OF HoLSTEINS

| H. Merle Bottum, one of the promi-
nent farmers of Shaftsbury and one
of the leading breeders OF Holstein
cattle, died suddenly at his home this
morning, While he had not been in
the best of health for some time
there had been no alarming change in
his condition until about thirty hours
before he passed away.
The deceased was 72 years old, was
born on the farm on which he had
passed his entire life and which had
been conducted by SIX generations of
his family. He had represented the
town OF SALISBURY in the legislature
and had always manifested an active
interest In publ'e affairs.
Mr. BOttum was widely known as
breeder Of ,HOlstein cattle not only
throughout Vermont but in New Eng
land and New York state. 1t is prob
ably true that he had been continuous
ly engaged in the raising OF this breed
longer than any other farmer in Yer
mont The foundation of the herd
now on the farm was establ shed in
1885 and since that time close to two
hundred and fifty male calves have
been born on the farm, the larger
portion beng sold for breeding pur.
poses.
Sales from the Bottum farm have
been made to many Of the best known
breeders in the east and have result
ed in the establishment of number
OF pure bred herds.
Mr. Bottum was educated at Burr
and Burton seminary at Manchester
and at Klmball Union academy at
Meriden, n. H. The care of the farm
devolyed upon HIM at the death OF his
father In 1870, as he was an only son.
During his active life he added to
the oriinal holdings until at the pres
ent time the farm comprises about
five hundred acres with 125 under
tillage
The funeral Will be held at the
house Saturday at y, m. and the
burial will be at Center SALISBURY.

EVIDENCE OF CONSPIRACY

Warsaw, Ind, March 1G.-Develop
ments today in The investigation Of
Leroy Loyett, l9-year-old Elkhart
youth, seemingly increased the tanglC
OF evidence and the mystery tonight
apparently was far from solution. In
their attempt to unravel the tangled
skein Of evidence the authorities have
returned a new angle almost every
hour, each new angle opening up a
new possibility in the case.
! Author ties state they have evi
ence pointing to Virgil Decker, who
today was formally charged with the
murder of I.oyett as the person who
committed the crime. The question
which is battling them they say, is
the existence Of the conspiracy Ia
defraud insurance companies out OF
large amounts.
Prosecutor H. w. Graham in q
statement said he believed Lovett was
killed so that other persons could
claim large amounts OF insurance
Virgil Decker carried after having
identified Loyett's body as that of
Decker.
Virgil Decker is now in the
Kosciusko county Jail. having been
brought here today by Sheriff Moon
from Marion, Ind, where he was cap
tured Tuesday evening.
He was subjected to severe
griling when he was placed in the
Jail here, but stoutly mainta' ned his
innocence.
Afr Decker was placed in his cell
he was stripped of his clothing to see
II he had a rose and dagger tattoo
mark on his left arm. Decker, how
ever, had no tattoo marks, although
it had been asserted Decker had such
a tattoo mark on his arm and two
weeks ago had induced Lovett to
have a similar insignia placed on his
left forearm so that 1t might serve
as an Identification mark and aid in
carrying a plan out to pass Loyett's
body as that Of Decker and collect
the Insurance with Decker carried
With this theory swept away officers
say they lost what was expected to

BITTER AGAINST ENGLISH
Declares British Government is
Opposing Spiritual Quality

BITTER AGAINST ENGLISH

Dublin, March 16.-CBy the Asso
ciated Press .--Eamonn de Valera
leader of the Republicans and presi
dent Of the Irish Republic, gave a
personal interview today to the AS.
sociated Press correspondent. This is
the first interview he has accorded to
any newspaper representative since
his return from the United States to
Ireland.
II any proof Of the extraordinary
precautions taken by his devoted fol.
lowers to insure his protection we're
needed, 1t was afforded by the ex-
treme care taken in escorting the
correspondent to and from the pres
dence OF the Irish leader For an hour
after leaving Mr.. de Valera, the cor.
respondent was under the closest
surveillance, not only from his escort
but, as II seemed, from everybody in
Dublin.
During the course of the conyer-
sation, which lasted three quarters
Of an hour, Mr.. de Valera told of the
impressions he had brought back
from America, and remarked:
The saddest thing there TO me
was to see ethe Irish question
treated by so many people as II 1t
we're a religious wrangle. 1t is
not rel gious question, even in
so far as the differences here be-
tween the North and South are
concerned.
He spoke bitterly OF the English
governments lack OF principle and
craftsmanship He said:
England IL trying to win by
playing on human weakness. AS
a matter OF fact, though 1t does
not realize il, England Is playing
not on the weakest but the
strongest qualt of the Irish
people-their spiritual quality.
The young men of ireland are
saying TO themselves, AT best
the span OF Ffe is only seventy
years. We must all die; so why
not now in circumstances Ike
these?
The Irish leaders is In excellent
health, but HIS friends in America
would hardly recognize him for he is
on the run and naturally does not re-
veal himself unnecessarily. Obvious
" it would not do to describe his APP
pearance in detail, but he looks ex-
tremely fit and conveys the impress
sion OF being free from any sense Of

has added to his collection of pictures
and acquired a new lantern and de-

humor and clever description. His

Hollow camp and took his audience
over the length of the Long Trail,
paying special attention to the STRAIT
ton mountain, Killington, Camels
Hump and Mansfield sections. The

How Comets Can Garry Live Germs.


Scientists now declare that comets
carry live disease germs. They further
state that 1t is possible for these
germs to travel to earth from other
worlds on the tails OF comets.
This is not so extraordinary as It
may seem. II we examine the facts.
What Is a comet? Scientists tell
us that most comets are pieces Of 9th
er planets which have been rent
asunder by some unknown Gauss, We
are further told that these comets
may contain lnnumerable millions of
the germs which lie In all kinds of
elements, and that microbes can re-
main inactive but alive for long
periods Of time.
1t is possible for germs to be whirled
through space In a comet, and. under
favorable conditions, to attack human
beings and animals after reaching our
atmosphere.

How to Keen Plne Clean.

English pipe smokers have revived
an ancient method Of keeping pipe
clean. They roll the tobacco into Il
pear-shaped "bomb" of rice paper, tear
a tiny hole in the bottom Of the
bomb and drop IL into the pipe bowl.
They light the twist of paper at the
top The paper doesn't burn except at
the top and a rap Of the hand at the
finish Of the smoke throws out paper
and ashes and all the "goOey' creosote
and nicotine that ordinarily clngs to
the pipe and makes II foul.
