By WILLIAM COOK.
fnternstioaaI News Service.

PARIS, Jan. 14.-Premier Lloyd
George Of England arrived today from
Cannes to continue conversations with
the French relative to the proposed
Anglo French treaty Of alliance.
These negotiations were broken off
when the supreme council meeting col
lapsed as a result Of the resignation
Of ex-Premier BRAND and his cabinet.
Arrangements were made for u
meeting between Premier Lloyd George
and Raymond Poincare. who has ac-
cepted the post as French premier. at
the British embassy.
During the morning M. Poincarr
continued his efforts to form q. min
ststry. He held numerous conferences
with his political colleagues. His
friends say the delay was occasioned
by the fact that M. Poincare was max.
ing every effort to create q strong
government that would have the con.
fidence Of the people.
The conference with Premier Lloyd
George was set for this afternoon in
order to enable both statesmen to ut.
tend to other matters during the morn
ing.

although Il is believed that he will not
complete the cabinet until tomorrow.
In that event the cabinet may not

Genoa Farley at Stake.
BY international. News Service.
LONDON. Jan. 1.-THE fate of the
economic conference at Genoa will
depend upon the outcome Of the con-
versations between Premier Lloyd
George and M. Poincare, French pre-
mier-designate, at Paris, according to
views advanced by British Officials
today.
There Is q growing feeling of pessi.
mism that the British and French
premiers will be unable to agree
upon plans for the economic confer
ence.
It Is understood the two premiers
would concentrate their attention
upon the proposed Anglo French
treaty of alliance. but, In addition.
they will touch upon the following
other matters: ..
1. The future attitude Of the French
government on Germans indemnity
and sanction in the event Of non
payment.
2. The guarantees France will de-
mand from Russia for the latter's
participation in, the Genoa confer
ence. ersce,- %
1t was understood in circles close
to the government that Premier
Lloyd George would offer M. Poin.
care notifications in the proposed
Anglo-French pact and would offer
to extend 1t to include Belgium and
to insure fulfillment of the Rhine
provisions Of the Versailles treaty.

HAS
LAWYER TAKE
CANADIAN TRIP
Banker Worried Over Effect of
Fits Spectacular Dash
Into Far North.

MONTREAL, Quebec, Jan. a.
While Mrs. Anne U. Stillman and her
SON Bud are tramping. through the
woods, storing UP energy for what
they hope will prove the final legal
blow at James A. aStillman, agents of
the latter are preparing to break lances
with Mrs. Stillman in Canada.
Cornelius J. Sullivan, chief of coun-
sci for Mr.. Stillman, made a flying visit
to Canada last week. He conferred with
N. X. Laflamme, the bankers Cana
dian counsel, and then headed up the
st. Maurice river.
Last Friday Sullivan was in confer
ence In Three Rivers, the jumping off
point for Stillman-case testimony with
LaFontaine as chief agent OF Stillman
along the st. Maurice.
Hearings In February.
On st. Catherine street, Montreal,
yesterday was seen another Stillman
agent, who has operated out Of the
office of Mr.. Sullivan since The Still
man scandal first BROKE" This man
said that he intended to confer with
MaItre Leflamme, turn over to him
the 1000 pages Of printed testimony
taken at the Poughkeepsie, and Bar
Association hearings, and line up the
Stillman forces for the scrap when the
Montreal commission begins to
function.
Special Commissioner Godin's war
rant of authority expires today. M.
Godin will formally call the hearing
today, as he did last Wednesday. It
is not expected there will be any re-
Spouse either from Leflamme, repre-
senting Stillman, or Mrs. Stillman's
two Montreal lawyers.
Bankers Forces Worried.
Commissioner Godin, It is expected.
will announce his warrant Of au-
thority has expired. It is considered
likely, that Godin will be the new
commissioner appointed following an
additional application to the Supreme
Court Justice Morschauser in POUCH
keepsie on Saturday or soon there
after.
The Stillman forces are worried
over the spectacular trip Of Mrs. Still
man. They realize the psychological
effect Of her dash into the st. Maurice
country in mid.winter and the effect
Of her intimate personal talks with
witnesses. They seem to agree that
their last opportunity for partial
victory lies In beating down the testi-
mony Of the two-score witnesses who
have promised to testify for Mrs. Still
man In Montreal.
Should Mrs. stillman controvert the
ladder and keyhole witnesses, her
vindication Is considered certain. Tho
effect will be that financially she will
profit largely by any settlement.

without reaching verdict, re-
sumed its deliberations at 9:30
o'clock this morning.
Woman Elected Foreman.
There were persistent reports that
the jury, consisting Of ten women and
two men, stood ten to two for convic-
ton from the time the first ballot was
taken until they were locked UP for
the night at 10 o'clock. Some Of the
reports stated that the two who did
not favor conviction were women.
Mrs. Nellie Graham was elected
foreman of the jury when it retired
after receiving the instructions OF
Judge Sidney Reeve.
The jurors spent the night at a
downtown hotel, occupying separate
rooms. and under guard Of deputy
sheriffs.
When Burch was brought into the
courtroom last night to learn that
the Jury was to be locked up, he
smiled and said he was going back to
his cell for q good nights rest.

"that when the jury failed to come to
an agreement last night II meant my
acquittal. am sure the majority OF
them are for my acquittal. and they
will prevail or they will force q COM

tell the truth. IL they decided on an

From the matron's quarter Of the
county Jail, Mrs. Madaleynne Oben-
chain, who was indicted with Burch,
and Is yet to stand trial, sent word
that she was too Ill to receive visitors.

make 1T mandatory upon the Judge TO

The second is q verdict OF guilty.
and q finding that Burch be sentenced

LOCAL MERCHANTS TO
 HAVE BARGAIN DAY Saturday, March 4th Has
 Been Selected for
 the Event

At meeting of the business men of the town on Monday afternoon, it was unanimously voted to hold a Bargain Day on Saturday, March 4th. One other such event was held here several years ago and due to a severe storm, train service was curtailed and many were unable to come to town. Even with this handicap con- siderable>business was transacted.
 This coming Bargain Day will be something worth waiting for as every business house will participate and sharp reductions on all staple lines of goods will prevail. Everyone agreed at this meeting that no goods would be imported for this sale, as is done in some places, therefore any reductions will mean a real saving on standard merchandise.
 The sale will not be limited to the dry goods and grocery stores, for garage men, and auto dealers, cleo tricians, plumbers, hardware dealers and restaurants will all participate in an effort to make this one of the biggest days this town has ever had.

Masons Lose Fourth Game b 4.. 39 Points

At last the Odd Fellows setback team has come back and really shown that it knows how to play setback The Masons were wallopel last Friday night by 39 points, which takes away their fine lead for the cup.

EXPLOSION SHAKES THE ENTIRE COUNTRYSIDE Several Sticks of Dynamite Placed in Rear of
 Dwelling

An explosion which shook the entire countryside, even as far as Norfolk, occurred between nine and ten o'clock Friday night. Immedi0 ately Central" was besieged by startled residents from all parts of the town, asking what had taken place and where. Little information was forthcoming until after eleven o'clock.
 A resident near the lime kilns, be- 1ieving that the powder magazine of the Connecticut Lime Co.,, had blown up, communicated with the superintendent of the company who immediately began an investigation. It was found that the rear part of one of the houses had been blown into pieces and windows in other houses broken. Other houses within half mile of the explosion were badly shaken.
 The house where the explosion occurred was occupied by j"Ned" Veronese and family, also two board CTS, making ten people who escaped death miraculously. Built in the rear of the house, as sort of addition was a pantry or enclosed porch. Under this there was placed about twelve sticks of dynamite in what seems to be an attempt on the lives of the occupants. How the dynamite was obtained remains a mystery to otti- cials of the company.
 The reason for the attempted rnur- der is thought to be jealousy amorg the workman. However this is only surmised and those who are investi- gating have little to cay regarding the natter
 After the explosion pr. John G. Adam was hurriedly summoned, but his services were only required in the case of Mrs. Veronese, who suffered from shock. State Policeman Pres ton was also summoned and is still making an investigation.
