Model Inmate of Industrial School
Planned to Use All Necessary

Money to Go Away
Money to Go Away

Mrs. Louis Cheesman of West Nddi-
son who was beaten into insensibility
Tuesday afternoon by Albert Batchel-
der, Is, a paroled inmate of the Yer
mont Industrial School, was reported
to be resting comfortably this morning
and apparently out of danger. Batch
elder is still in the county jail on
Court street awaiting the result of his
assault. He has confessed his guilt
and asserted his readiness to take the
punishment he has decerved. He said
his motive was robbery.
The assault occurred Tuesday after.
noon at about l:30 o'clock. Mrs,
Cheesman was alone in the house with
her infant child, had finished the din
ner dishes and was beginning her
weekly ironing when the youth ap-
peared in the doorway, Batchelder had
been there on several previous occa-
sions, as he lived with Henry E.
Spaulding on the neighboring farm,
and his presence caused no alarm. He
had a large pruning knife in his hand
and asked Mrs. Cheeseman, as he
thumbed the blade, if she did not
think it an excellent throat-cuter. She
did not give any thought to the i'm
port OF his query other than to ask
him where he had obtained it. He re-
piled that it had been given him by
Mr. Spaulding to trim raspberry bushes.
Mrs. CheeSeman unsuspectingly con-
tlnued her ironing. When she turned
to the stove to change flats Batchelder
seized broom from an adjoining door
way and began to beat her over the
head and face with the handle until
She fell to the floor unconscious.
Frightened by the pool of blood and
his motionless victim, Batchelder fled
to the Spaulding home and begged the
maid, Alice Raine, to return with him
in the Spaulding automobile to the
Cheeseman house because Mrs. Cheese
man had been hurt by somebody. The
woman was found unconscious on the
floor where she had fallen under the
rain of the broom attack She was
brought to the home of Fred Nuttall

VT. FARM VALUES
SHOW Big INCREASE
CENSUS LEARNS OF GAIN OF
$77,3S6,8 IN DECADE
Green Mountain Farmers Lead New
England in Acreage Under
Improvement

Vermont farm property of all de-
Scriptions-lands, buildings, implements
and livestock increased in value to
the extent of $77,336S92 during the last
decade, or more than in any other
New England state, according to the
latest census bureau figures. The in
crease in the value of this property in
New Hampshire was but $l4,95l,9l9
Farm lands in Vermont were valued
at $S2,93S,253 in 1920 as against $685.
3S5,327 ten years earlier. Buildings on
farms took a jump in value from $54,-
2O2,94S to S76,l7S,906. Implements and
machinery more than doubled in worth,
from $40, 0,l6S6S7 to $2l,234, ,l30 and
livestock increased in value nearly
hundred per cent, going from 22,642,-
766 to S42,3S5,33l from 1910 to 1920
These figures are based upon reports
from a total of 2S07j farms through
out the Green Mountain state under
the latest federal census, and the in
crease in valuation is all the more note
worthy when the actual number of
farms shows a falling off during the
decade from a total of 32,709 in 1910
Exceeds New England Average
Moreover, the value of all farm pro-
perty per farm in Vermont is now in
excess of the average for the New Eng
land states, being S766l in the state
as against S1492 for New England The
reverse was the case in 1910 when the
New England average was 1883 and

Further, Vermont fadms averaged
more land per acre than in any other
unit of the New England group, this
average being 1851 with New Hamp-
shire tagging second in the race with
1863 acres per farm. Here again Yer
mont is far above the New England

HOUSE BALkS At
AMENDMENTS To
NAVAL. MEASURE
Refuses to Anree to the Pa
cific Coast Provisions and
the Airplane Carriers
Section of Bill.
(By The Aaeociatcd Press !

Washington, July THE house
refused again today to agree to
senate amendments to the naval
appropriation bill authorizing the
acceptance of q tract of land at
Sand Point. Wash, as a site for a
naval aviation base, and appro-
priated 100000 towards develop
ment Of such a base.
The house also reaffirmed its
disagreement to senate items car
rying 100000 for a pier extension
at the Puget sound. Washington,
navy yard. and 100000 for a rifle
range there.
Previously the house had reject
ed all amendments but the senate,
insisting that they be agreed to,
sent the bill back for another vote
on the provisions The house also
stood firm in its opposition to the
senate amendment authorizing con-
struction of two airplane carriers,
voting l41 to 4 to further insist
upon its disagreement to the item.
Heated debate developed over
the attempt, Representative Mann,
republican, Illinois, declared that
he would rather have one airplane
carrier in the navy than ten battle
ships, while Representative Mon
dell. republican leader. and Chair
man Butler of the naval affairs
committee, contended that author
ization for carrier should not be
carried in an appropriation bill.
The house concurred in a number
of the minor items which are ia
vored by the senate but its refusal
to agree to the Pacific coast pro-
visions and the airplane carriers
amendment necessitates sending
the bill back to the senate.
