ANTsS EPUDIATION
&. f ROAD UPKEEP'
Joint Conference Heard APP
peal Of Traction
Company

The city councils of ntpelier and
Barre and the selectmen of Berlin met
in the Barre city council chamber last
evening to consider the appeal of Fl. j.
Volholm, receiver of the street railway
line running from Barre to Montpelier,
for concessions that would benefit the
road financially.
The suggested concessions are the
elimination of service on Washington
street in Barre and Seminary hill in
Montpelier, release of the road from it's
obligations in the care and repair of
that part of the streets between its
rails and two feet outside, and a higher
fare, with the elimination of working
mems tickets
Receiver Volholm made an earnest
plea for aid to the road and told of
his plans TO improve the service, which
included a more frequent running of
cars on the main line. H. G. Shurtleff,
attorney for the receiver, made further
explanation as to the reasons for ask
ing assistance, if the road was to con-
tinue in operation.
After various questions had been
asked of the two gentlemen, they re-
tired and the selectmen and two citv
councils discussed the situation and
their attitude on the same at some
length.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
the joint assembly that the three
should not concede any
OF services on branch
lines, nor grant any modification in
the matter of the roads obligations in
the streets. As to the increase in fares.
It was felt that that should be left 70
the receiver, provided they were not
increased beyond eight cents and five
cents for workingmen's tickets.
The whole matter is to come before

dents were destroyed, manufacturing
plants were damaged and the city wa
ter system was put out of commits

CARNATIONS of that class. His will con-
tanned specific provisions for the be- |
stowal Of about $4,000 The land of his |
home was bequeathed TO the city of |
Havana for playground purposes on |
certain conditions, which, it is learned, |
the city does not intend to meet, in |
which case the entire property will be-
come a part of the residue of the es.
tate, which will be divided among the |
of the brothers and sis
ters of the teststor, according to the
laws of Illinois, which are said to be
similar 10 those of Vermont.

Before Sim Fein Makes
Reply to British Gov
ernment
UP TO NOW ULSTER
STANDS ALOOF
But Expectation of An
Arrangement Is Not
Given Up

Dublin. Aug. 3 tBy the Associated
Press The sole reason for the delay
in the Sim Fein's reply to the gov
ernment's Irish peace proposals, IT Is
authoritatively stated, is the attempt
being made to obtain the adhesion of
Ulster to the peace plan before re-
turning to negotiations with Premier
Lloyd George so that he could be met
by United Ireland.
II is said to be felt that there is no
use even to consider the terms until
it is settled who are the real parties
to the bargain.
Every effort is being made behind
the scenes, it is declared, to induce
Ulster TO accept share in the pow
erful body which 1t is planned to make
the all-lreland parliament, while re-
tanning her own local autonomy. So
far these efforts, although benevolent
ly regarded by the government, have
been unsuccessful.
The expectation of an arrangement
with Ulster has not vet been aban-
doned, however Should it fail 10 be
brought about, the republicans, it is
pointed out, must consider whether
they will accept for the 25 counties out
side Of Ulster the terms offered, or re-
new the war Some of the republican
leaders express the view that eventual
unity would be more speedily reached
oy such acceptance.

FOR PURPOSE
OF SECURING
"EVIDENCE'
Coakley Said He Himself
Received Fee of $4,000
But Did Not Pay Amy to
Tufts-C0akley Refused
to Produce Check Stubs
and Was Sustained

Boston, Aug. 3.-Testimony tha
District Attorney Nathan A. Tufts o
MiddIesex county had no connection
with the divorce proceedings against
CAPTAIN Charles L. Stearns was giver
by Daniel Fl. Coakley, who was eounei
for Mrs. Stearns, at the continuation
to-day of Tufts trial before the SUI
preme court ON series of charges pre-
ferred by the attorney general. Coax
lev said that he received fee OF
$4,000 but that he nver gave a cent
of the money TO Tufts.
The attorney general charged that
Tufts conspired with Mrs. Stearns to
secure commission of crime by her
husband in order that she might OBJ
tain divorce. In support OF the
charge Mrs Annie Il. Brown OF Brigh-
ton testified early in the trial that she
heard Tufts tell Mrs. Stearns that she
had no case for divorce but that one
could be made" Tufts yesterday de-
MED that he had entered into any plot
to trap" Captain Stearns.
Attorney Coakley in his testimony
to-day asserted that he had neer
heard Mrs Browns name in the case
and that he never discussed the case
with District Attorney Tufts.
During his DISCRIMINATION Mr..
Coakley was asked to produce all of
his check stubs from the year 1917 to
the present time, but fatty refused
TO do so unless directed by the court.
The justices after a conference an
nounced that the court would not order
the stubs produced.
Mr.. Coakley promised, however, to
produce check stubs of the $4,000
which il has appeared in the evidence
he received and distributed in settle
ment of the Mishawum Manor case
involving a number of motion picture
producers who took part in dinner
at the Manor conducted by Brownie"
Kennedy. Mr.. Tufts is charged by the
attorney general with conspiracy to
extort money from the motion picture
men through threatened prosecution on
account of complaints arising from the
dinner.
Reverting to the Stearns case Mr..
Coakley was asked did you employ
or know of the employment of any
woman to go TO Fortress Monroe to
eaptivate Captain Stearns?'' He re. |
piled mo" and also denied that he sent
any detectives there.
Mr.. Coakley's refusal TO produce all |
his check stubs from 1917 to date was |
based. he asserted. on the belief that |
they would fall into the hands of the |
Watch and Ward society, which he
said had been trying to get him" for
years. He launched into scathing ar
raignment of the society's officers and
methods. Later, in addition TO con
senting to produce the Mishawum
Manor case stubs from his check book.
he agreed TO produce the check stubs
IN the divorce case of Captain Stearns
and those also relating to the Monroe
tase, another divorce matter mentioned
In the allegations against Mr.. Tufts.

EXPERTS TOUR VERMONT
To Aid Veterans On Claims and In
surance

Ex soldiers of the state, within the
next few weeks, will finally receive the
best service that the government can
afford for adjusting compensation
claims and renewing their wartime in
surance. After repeated efforts by
Department Adjutant Allen Fletcher of

quarters of the War Risk Insurance
bureau will send five experts who will
tour Vermont for the purpose of grant
ing every legitimate claim for com
pensation that ex.soldiers of the state
may have.
The announcement at the State House
IN Montpelier to-day is considered hy
representatives. of the veterans as the
most important news in many months.
The drive" which will be conducted
by the Boston headquarters in CO.
operation with the American Legion
of the state and other organizations
of war veterans, is confidently expected
to reach every ex=seryiee man in the
state. The adjusting of compensation
claims is by no means the major part
of the work TO be accomplished. The
1 1000 veterans in the state who have
failed to keep up their insurance will
receive expert advice on the procedure
necessary to renew IT,
Adjutsnt Fletcher has left no stone
in his efforts to assist the ex-
soldiers, and to-day his office was the |
scene of added activity during the
preparation of bulletining to every
