TOOK EXCEPTION TO CHARGE
By which Judge Submitted Colby Case
to Jury.

Among the exceptions taken in the
trial of State VS.. Colby in Orange coun-
tv court last week and this week. the
respondent being accused Of criminal
libel, was one of the charge of the jury
The defense was made on the claim by
the respondent that he had reason 10
believe and did honestly believe that
the charges made in the circular in
question were true and thus upon such
honest belief il was his right TO pub
lish and circulate such belief among
the voters of Orange county.
This defense. it is claimed, was or
dered by the judge not to be considered
by the jury; and exception was taken
on the ground that such instruction
was in contravention Of article Is of
the constitution of the state of YER
mont which reads to the effect that
the people have a right TO freedom OF
speech and of writing and of publish
ing their sentiments concerning the
transaction of government and, there
fore. the freedom of the press ought
not TO be constrained. Many other ex-
eeptions were taken by the attorneys
for the defense, on which the case win
go to supreme court following the YER
dict of guilty.

BARRE FURNISHING
ACCREDITED HERDS
Forty-Six Carloads Shipped Within the
Past Year at Value Of
100000.

Forty-six carloads Of tuberculosis
+! free cattle at an estimated value OF
at least 100000 shipped from Barre
within the past year This tells the
story Of bovine tuberculosis eradica-
tion and the desire among local cattle
raisers for more and better cows for
dairying. Compared to other years the
value Of shipments this year shows a
tremendous increase for figures obtain
able show that dairy cows to the value
of $4,000, only, were sent from hero
in like period.
At the present time there are several
thousand cows in this vicinity belong
ing to accredited herds or to herds in
the process of being accredited. II is
because OF this that dairymen in neigh-
boring states who have suffered losses
in the testing of their herds are t,lrn-
ing largely TO Barre for federal and
state accredited cows. The Central
Vermont Cattle club has been instru
mental in selling u carloads out of
the Al; since August at an estimated
value OF $4,000. The club was organ
lied for the purpose of raising more
and better cows and brings buyer and
ctiltE t0Lttliti. III taSt oi cditN uo
commission is charged and the expense
is borne by the buyer.
Farmers are now beginning TO realize
that they can get good price for the
better class of stock and are turning
their attention more and more to This
side of agriculture. Not only are the
farmers being benefited by these sales
but the community as whole for
Barre is the trading center for people
in the outlying districts. The great in
crease in Gales is encouraging in the
face of general business depression and
a short hay crop.
The problem confronting the farm
ers now is to raise more dairy cows,
for at the rate of sales the territory
will soon be short of cows to suop.y
local demands. With the assurance
that they can get a Worthwhile price
and that a ready market has been es-
tablished the cattle raiser may be de-
pended upon TO raise more and better
COWS for dairying.

because it revealed that Norwich had

who died in New York as the result Of
being struck by an automobile.
1T had been known that Norwich uni

named in General Hawkins viii but It
was not known how much money
would be realized from the estate, 80
that to-day's announcement OF the
very large sum received, and already
made over to the university, brought
unbounded enthusiasm. In fact, there
was so much jubilation that plans
were made to have university hoii

the institution could be celebrated.
President Plumley's announcement
of the amount of the bequest was not
by any information cx-
cept that the $350000 was transferred

as the only condition Of Japan's final
acceptance of the American "5-5-3''
naval ratio as the naval big Three"
Of the arms conference prepared to
hold another meeting to-day to con-
slider the matter With the ratio ques-
tion thus brought to decisive stage,
the conference also was prepared to-
day to press its discussion OF questions
relating to China at another session OF

.Japans conditional acceptance of the
ratio basis of the naval limitation
plan was communicated by Admiral
Baron kato informally yesterday to
Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Balfour. 1t was
coupled with request, however, to
substitute the new battleship Mutsu
for one Of the old l2-inch gun ships
specified for retention under the
