NO MEET ON EUROPE's ILLS.
This Government Annoyed by Persistent
Appeal from Eurnne.

WASHINGTON, May 24-Pnblished
reports that the administration eontem-
plates calling conference in Washing
ton to undertake a solution of European
economic affairs We're emphatieally de-
MED at the White House yesterday after
a meeting of the cabinet
The persistence of European officials
and individuals in looking to this coun-
try to evolve a panacea for the economic
ills abroad Is apparently annoying to
members of this government. Officials
are expressing surprise at the failure of
Europe to comprehend the constantly
repeated position Of the Harding adj
ministratiOn
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes feel. it is understood, that
through the functioning of the debt re-
funding commission, the United States
is doing its full share toward aiding in
the financial and economic rehabilitation
of Europe. 1t is the hope of the adj
ADMINISTRATION that through this body the
allies will be relieved of the Immediate
pressure of payment of their war debts
To tho United States, but further than
this, it is felt that Europe should set
it's own house in order.
Officials, however, make it clear that
there is no closing of eyes and ears to
the European situation. The American
government will listen attentively to
any proposals the allies may make, al
though to date these proposals arc looked
upon as showing striking sameness.

Radio Receiving.
(Rutland Herald

The excellent articles on radio in the
home which are appearing every day on
this page may be depended upon to give
p good fundamental knowledge of the
apparatus used in receiving and the
principles underlying the same.
One thing should always be remem-
bered by the beginner in radio-that the
crystal type of receiver is only good for
a limited radius. say % miles.
Inasmuch as there are no telephone
broadcasting stations within that dis
tance Of Rutland. home radio expert
mentors must not expect, with crystal
type detect0r TO get in touch with
Newark, Schenectady, Springfield or any
&c the eastern stations, to say nothing
of Pittsburgh, Detroit or farther-away
stations.
There are. however, few stations
hereab@Ct which send out telegraph sig
nails. but not regularly and mostly for
other type of apparatus is necessary to
get in tune with the farther-away tele-
phone broadcasting stations, what is
known as the vacuum tube type.
These instruments cost more and have
a radius varying from 200 miles to as
far west as Chicago and even out at sea
where communication has been had from
Rutland stations with ships many miles
off our coast Communication varies
with atmospheric conditions.
There are many stories of freak stunts
with homemade radio sets, but they
cannot be depended upon, except as in
dieated above, and experimenters need
not be discouraged with any kind OF
equipment 1t is a matter of some diff
Guilty and needs some skill and expert
ence as wei as good apparatus.
Radio is probably in its infancy, with
possibilities that are beyond the estimate
of the ordinary individual, so it is well
10 look into things before becoming
committed to a line of experiment that
may prove disappointing.

Foote's Speech Above Criticism.
bennington Banner.)

/ don't hear much about the governor
ship. but what little stirs seems to be
in favor of Redfeld Proctor. His name
carried him a long way, and l find quite
a few who remember his modest legis-
lative service favorably. Uncle Abe
Foote isn't doing much until the roads
settle down a little. and if he makes a
few more speeches on sterilization of
criminals and detectives perhaps he
won't need to. They told me in Ben
nington and Bellows Falls that what
Abe said about it-perfectly true, too,
so far as that goes-was good stuff for
a bull-bill hearing before the agricultural
committee, but not exactly practical for
human beings, according to various
court decision.-H. l.. Hindley in Rut-
land Herald.
What Mr.. Foote said about the ster-
ilization of detectives in his speech in
Bennington was absolutely above criti-
ciSm and is calculated TO make him
friends. He did not advocate any gem
eral or wholesale sterilization Of crini-
mails or detectives but spoke of it as
one of the remedies suggested to limit
the rapid increase in the number of
weak-minded people not competent to
take care of themselves. What Mr..
| FoOte did advocate was more closely
controlling the defective and mentally in
competent and preventing, as far as
possible marriages where either husband
or wife are known to be mentally def
cient We do not see how anyone can
quarrel with this theory. There are
families in Remington county number
ing all the way from four to IA where
the parents are incapable of getting
proper living for themselves, to say moth
ing of supporting their children. Rut-
land. Windham. Windsor. Orange. Els
sex and probably all the other counties
in the state have similar conditions
Even had Mr. Foote advocated the ster-
ilization of imbeciles ct or below the
breeding age. we do not think he would
have seriously offended the thinking

land.
Before the commission, however, the
railroad executives, statistical experts,
and attorneys, developed the argument
that railroad earnings were insufficient
to justify any general decreases, at
least until operating expenses and wage
payments. as regulated by the railroad
labor board, had been reduced. Every
major industry in the United States was
represented in the hearings, along with
state reguative bodies. most of whom
sought lowering of transportation
charges, but diverged in the degree of
urgency which they suggested for the
commissions action The hearings ex-
tended over four months
Members of the commission found
much difficulty, it was indicated, during
the weeks after the taking of testimony
ceased, in working out line of action.
4 decision expected by April 1 was
many more weeks in the making than
even the traffic experts and the railroad
observers expected, but it was pointed
out that the record of testimony and
the transportation subject itself were of
immense magnitude. There was also
a suggestion that delay might have been
desired in the matter to allow business
conditions and price levels to stabilize
furt her and to see whether or not the
railroad labor board might find it pos
sible to allow wage cuts railroads were

plot which ended when Ward as he adj
mitted on Monday, shot and killed Clar-
ence Peters, 10 years old, former sailor,
on a road outside White Plains early on
the morning of May Is.
According to information obtained yes
terday, Ward, who is 81 years old and
has a wife and two small children, was
found by his wife early one morning
writhing in agony on the floor of their
library. He had just returned from
New York. When Mrs. Ward asked
what was the matter, her husband
pointed to an empty iodine bottle.
DIR. Orville Fl. Schell of Sc Meadow
Lane, New Rochelle, who was called by
Mrs. Ward. saved Wards life by using a
stomach pump and antidotes.
1T is my personal opinion that the TAX
ing of the poison was accidental" said
DIR. Schell last night. 81 do not know
differently. and you must believe man
innocent until he is proven guilty. Mr.

aches, and it is an easy thing to get
medicines mixed in the dark. He had a

He Got His Number.

An Episcopal minister. who was the
rector of a very fashionable church in a
suburb, decided he could not be bothered
with the innumerable telephone calls
that fall to one of his profession. So
he had his name left out of the tele-
phone directory.
A prominent merchant. having the
same name, and living in the same sub
urb, was continually annoyed by re-
quests to officiate at funerals and bap-
tisms. He finally asked the rector to
put his name back. But the rector would
not consent.
As the merchant was writing letter,
one evening, the telephone rang twice,
both times asking for the minister. His
patience was about exhausted and Just
as he had settled himself, the bell rang
again. This time it was a timid voice of
a young man asking if the Rev. Mr..
Blank would marry him at once.
After a moment s hesitation, happy
thought came to him, "No,' he said,

three weeks ago, charged with breaking

Chief Montieth said that Peters was ar

was brought to Milford but, as it was
suspected others were implicated in the
robbery, the charge against him was not
pressed and he was allowed to go free in
the hope that his actions would reveal
