Officers Report That About
$3.50 Was Con-
tributed

Christmas cheer for many families
Of Barre was being distributed to-day
bv the officers and workers Of the
Salvation Army, in the form Of boun-
teous Christmas baskets, filled with
chicken, potatoes and other vegetables,
cake. celery, tea, coffee, sugar, jelly,
bread, jello, canned corn, beans and
peas. The cost Of these good cheer
baskets Is negligible, compared to the
good which they do.
Captain w. H. Beven and Lieut..
Richard Fetton, who were recently
transferred here from Cambridge,
Mass, to take charge, have worked
hard for the past three weeks to make
sure that no needy family viii be
forgotten and to-day 35 baskets of
good things were doled out, with more
ready should there be occasion to need
them. Captain Beven estimated that
the boxes. envelopes and pots put out
for contributions by the Army this
wear would bring them very nearly
$3.50, which will go quite ways in
filling the baskets which cost on the
average of S5, with slight variations
both ways.
Next Friday. Dec 29s the Salvation
Army hall will be the scene Of the
annual Christmas tree and good time.
There will be two trees, one for the
children Of the poor families Of the
city and the other for children whose
parents belong to the Salvation Army.

NAY CALL ENTIRE
CATHOLIC EPISCOPACY
Pope Is Considering Plans for the
Next Jubilee
Year

Rome, Dec. 2s lBy the Associated
Press The probability that the pope
will call meeting Of the entire Cath
olic episcopacy in Rome during the
next jubilee year was announced in
the papal encyclical closed to-day.
Such a meeting would be confinua-
tion OF the ecumenic council which
was held in Rome in 1870.
Pope Plus encyclical recalls the re-
cent conflicts in Italy and the efforts
of the church TO quiet them. Among
the peaceful events of recent years it
calls attention. to the twenty-sixth in !.
ternational eucharist congress and the
great religious manifestation attend
ant upon the transportation of the
image of the Virgin from Rome to
Loreto.
The letter, enumerating present
world evils, which it says are caused
by greediness for material things,
says that the remedy is chiefly to be
found in return TO Christ, which
means peace, justice and love among
all peoples, respect for order and au-
thority, and combating materialism
as well as teaching true democracy and
brotherhood.
Pope Plus announces the probability
of his snmmoning meeting Of the en-
tire episcopacy of the world in Rome
in the course of his approaching ju-
bilee year as continuation OF the
ecumenit council at the Vatican held
here in 1870.

BARRE MERCHANTS
HAD GOOD TRADE
Volume of Business Was Remarkable
Considering Rather Pocr Industrial
Conditions During the Year.

Barre merchants approach the end ol
the week with feeling somewhat like
relief. There has been the usual pre-
Christmas rush and hurly -bIrly, with o
multitude of distracting incidents. On
the whole, the business has been good
some say very good Stocks sof goods
have been very much depleted by the
gift giving demand, ard shelves that
groaned with their weight Of attractive
goods two weeks ago are less strained
now.
The clerks have been having their
usual exacting work, but it has not
been SO bad for them as usual because
shoppers are becoming more alert for
the best selection, which means that
they are doing their shopping earlier.
As q matter of fact, the Christmas
trade started in rather vigorously two
weeks ago, so that the last few days
before Christmas have not seen such
great jam as they had in former
years. This tendency toward earlier
buying has materially lightened the
load Of both merchants and clerks.
When the final summing-up Of the
Christmas business is completed large
number of the merchants expect their
total sales 10 go above the mark Of last
year while others will fall little, il any,
short Of the previous years trade. I'm
der the rather poor conditions that
have prevailed in Barre industrially
during the year this volume of business
is considered somewhat remarkable.
1t is true, however, that Barre buy
ers were not the only contributors to
the total volume Of trade in Barre
stores. The number of shoppers from
cities and towns many miles from
Barre has been very much larger this
year than ever. This was due In part
to the good travelling conditions on the
but more especially to the
fact that Barre stores are widening
their circle of business through effec-
tive advertising in The Times.
The wind-up of the business to-day
found the streets thronged with peo-
pie and the stores rushed with the last
minute buyers.

QUIET CHRISTMAS
FOR WHITE HOUSE
Because Of Mrs. Harding's Illness
President Orders Department Clos
ing at Noon To-day.

Washington, d. c., Dec. %. Christ
mas at the White House will lack much
OF the usual spirit of time gone by be-
cause of Mrs. Harding's illness.
There will be no house guests and
no Christmas tree. Neither the presi-
dent nor Mrs. Harding has made any
holiday plans. She may come down
stairs in her wheel chair and preside
at the table for Christmas dinner, but
otherwise the day will be like any 9TH
er since she was taken III.
As Christmas present to the thou
sands of government employees Presi-
dent Harding issued an executive order
closing the government departments at
noon to-day and at that hour most
high officials as well closed up their
desks and went home.
The Senate, too, joined in the early
beginning of. the Christmas season,
holding only short session, but the
House went ahead with the consider
alton of appropriation bills.

SERIOUS IRREGULARITIES"
Are Said to Be Claimed Against Stat
Probation Board.

The following special dispatch to th'
Burlington Free Press appeared In to
days issue Of that paper:
| Montpelier, Dec. 22.--Charges o.
serious Irregularities in the manage
lnent Of the affairs Of the board o.
charities and probation are made ii
! a report presented to the budget com
mittee by subcommittee composed
OF Roland 4. Stevens Of White River
junction and William II. Dyer Of Sails
bury.
profound silence il being main
tanned, under sort Of gentleman's
agreement, by all Of the persons who
have been approached who might have
personal knowledge Of the nature Of
the charges that have been made. Va.
rious explanations are given as to rea-
sons for the secrecy, one Of the expla.
nations being that the policy of with
holding information is being carried out
at the request of Governor Hartness.
1T is known that the members Of
the investigation committee probed
into number 81 charges OF misman-
agement on tb part of the probation
board and y At only those that are
substantiated by affidavits are en-
bodied In the report. Members Of the
committee, II Is said, are convinced in
their own minds that a. substantial
foundation of truth exists for the plac-
ing Of other charges against the board,
but they feel the full and complete
evidence to support them would not be
available.
THE report Of the subcommittee
came before the full budget committee
at meeting Dee. at which Secretary
Of Charities and Probation Jeffrey and
members of the board, were present.
"The joint meeting of the board and
committee, Ii Ia reported, was not ex-
actly in the nature OF gathering Of a
happy family. There was some fric-
tion. Members of the board, IL is said,
Indignantly denied the truth Of the
charges in the committees report. They
requested time TO consider the matter.
After q conference in an adjoining room
they asked for more time for consid-
eration and for the formulation OF
reply. This was granted. and at that
time. II spnars. the ban of secrecy was
put into effect.
@It ia known that one member Of the
committee strongly disApproves Of
Withholding the report from the plblic.
It l. realized that when IL cpfnes be.
fore the committee later II may be re.
jected by a majority vote and thus it
will not get upon the records which are
open for public inspection.
"lt il known that il the full commit
tee should undertake to prevent infor-
nation regarding charges against con-
duct Of a public commission from get
ting 70 the taxpayers there is one
member OF the committee who appre-
rates the value OF publicity so fully
that i is probable that he will refuse

tion of his associates.
