An anomalous condition has aris-
en- IN Pulaski county pohuc'. A
question has developed since the re.
cent election as TO the status of coun
ty central committeeman. Are the
commItteemen officers within the
meaning of the law aud il not Off
GERS what are they? 1t would ap.
pear that they are orphans turned
loose upon the tender mercies of the
world The names of candidates
for committeeman appear upon the
regular official ballots at the pri-
mary. The votes cast for these can
dldates are presumed to be counted
by the election officers and returns
made upon them as in the case Of all
other officials whose names appear
upon the ballot. In the recent elec
lion In Pulaski county one Of the
candidates for committeeman had
reason to believe that the election
officers estimated his vote instead of
counting it and made returns show
ing that he was not elected. An ap
peal was made TO the county central
com mittee, which held that 1t was
without authority to consijer a con
test and that 1t must be referred to
the courts. Suit was brought IN
the courts to contest the returns and
now 1t is cOntended IN the courts
that 1t Is a political matter aud the
courts have no jurisdiction. Thus
1t appears that the committeeman
are dlsowned by both the committee
and the courts. This may be in &C
curdance with the technical interpre
tation OF the law but it does not sp
peal to common sense or the primer
pals Of simple justice that should
prevail. If this be true there is no
means whatever of redressing any
wrong that may be committed
against a candidate for Central Com
nitteeman. The committee may un
der these conditions peTpetuate it.
,elf indefinitely and hose who are
opposed to ring rule can have no re

san and does place upon the tickets

elected and arbitrarily refuses to

HERRING FLEET
is FROZEN IN
With Them Are Held 12,ooo Barrels
of Herring at Bay Of
Islands.

Curling, n. f., Dec. 26.--The herring
fleet was frozen in at the Bay Of Is
lands to-day. Seven schooners, two
of them American vessels. three Cana
dian and two eNw Foundland, are
caught in the ice with little prospect
of getting clear until spring. With
them are held 10000 barrels Of herring.
The Aviator, one of the fishermen
that are iced in, WAS aground for a
time on Woods Island while the rest
of the fleet was moving out to sea ap-
parently clear. But although the
Aviator was refoated without damage
spell of extreme cold set in and i'm
posed an ice bondage on all that only
spring thaws can break, in all prob
ability.
It Is no unusual condition for the
schooners that come to this coast for
herring to be frozen in when they over
stay the season but the freeze-up this
year comes nearly a month in advance
OF normal conditions.
The vessels caught, in addition 10
the Aviator, are: Judique, w. G.

ARSON RING. nv
CHICAGO ATTACKED
Fire Commissioner Says That More
Than Million Dollar Loss An
nually Can Be Laid to 1t.

Chicago, Dec. 26.- Declaring 'irreg-
ular" fires had cost Chicago more than
Sl,000,000 annually, John +. Cullerton,
fire commissioner, to-day announced
plans to crush an arson ring to which
he attributed the increase OF fifty fires
each month for the past half year.
Commissioner Cullerton said all
questionable fires would be investi-
gated by the insurance companies,
the fire department and the state fire
marshals office. The reports Of the
three Investigations, he said, would be
subject to final approval by "su-
preme court" composed Of representa-
tives of local and national boards Of
fire underwriters, John G. Gambler,
state fire marshal, and the Chicago fire
department.
''There is no doubt in my mind that
the arson trust, cleaned up through
indictments and convictions few
years ago. is operating again Com.
missioner Cullerton asserted. "The ring
is composed Of crooked adinsters, fire
bugs and crooked firemen who connive
with insurance companies and crooked

REV. B. j. LEHICH WILL
CONTINUE IN BARRE
Baptist Clergyman Told Congregation
Sunday That He Had Declined
Call to Lowell, Mass.

Christmas had a particularly Joyful
note for the members and adherents of
the First Baptist church Of Barre for
Rev. B. J. Lehigh, their pastor, had on
the day previous announced his rejec-
tion of a call to the Paige street Bap-
tist church in Lowell, Mass, and his
pleasure to continue in the local pas
torate. The announcement was made
at the morning service Sunday, and one
of the largest congregations in many
months was in attendance. There was a
noticeable Frightening of countenances
when the pastor made the statement
announcing his intention to remain
with the Barre church.
The call to Rev. Mr.. Lehigh from
the Lowell church was given several
weeks ago and came without any So
licitation on the part OF the clergyman.
The call was given due consideration
by the recipient and the decision TO re-
main with the Barre church was made
after earnest solicitation on the part
of members of that organization, and
after wishes expressed by Others in
Barre, who have been cognizant Of Mr..
Lehigh's work during his nearly seven
years Of pastorate in Barre, that he
continue in Barre. At the close of the
service Sunday morning nearly every
one in the audience took occasion to
extend their personal appreciation of
his decision. So it came about that the
Christmas celebration by the Baptists
on the following day held an unusual
degree Of good cheer.

ST. ALBANS HAS
$4,000 LOSS
Central Vermont's Paint
Shop and Bridge Shop
Destroyed
OTHE 4 BUILDINGS
SAVE By HARD WORK
About Z Men Are Thrown
"a of Employ
j ment

st. Albans, Dec. 26,--A loss Of
cially estimated at $4,000 was sus-
tanned to-day when the paint shop and
bridge shop Of the Central Vermont
Railway company were burned and
other property was damaged.
When the fire department was called
to the shop off Lake street at l:45 this
morning the paint shop was mass Of
flames. Eight lines of hose were laid
but the fire had gained such Roadway
that the flames, famed by 40-mile
gale, could not be checked in the paint
shop. The> fremen, therefore, directed
their efforts toward saving surrounding
property of the company.
The bridge shop was soon envoIoped
in flames and in short time lay in
ruins The coal chute, located some dis
tanee away, caught fire twice but the
flames were extingliished. The machine
shop, located only few feet away
from the paint shop, and the railroad
station were also endangered but were
saved.
The heat from the burning paint was
so intense that the firemen and the
shop men were unable to get close
enough to do effective work fighting the
fire in the paint shop. In addition,
there were the further handicaps Of
high wind and water pressure which
was not adequate to carry to parts Of
the buildings
Inside thes paint shop were two pas.
senger coaches and one American mail
car being painted, These were de-
stroyed, the loss on them alone run
ming into many thousands Of dollars.
Two tons OF bread lead and many thou
sands Of dollars worth of castings were
rendered useless.
When the paint shop burned the guy
wires holding the big chimney on the
machine shop became loose and the
stack crashed to the roof of the ma
chine shop, seyering the power line.
About 10 men, many of whom had
just returned to work after Ave
months strike, were thrown out Of EN-.
ployment temporarily, although some
Of the men viii get work clearing away
the debris left after the fire. The prop.
erty was we'll insured.

BOR4H PROPOSAL
GETS SMALL SUPPORT
Senate Republican Leaders Confer as
to What They Will Do with Plan
of International Economic
and Disarmament Con-

Washington. d. c., Dec. 26.--Senate
Republican leaders conferred to-day in
an effort to agree on what changes
they win seek in the proposal of Sem
ator Borah, Republican, Idaho, for an
international economic and disarma-
ment conference. The proposal is am
bodied in an amendment to the naval
appropriation bin which IL to come
before the Senate tomorrow when it
re assemblies after the Christmas holi-
day.
A large part of the Republican men,
bership and a number of Democrats
are understood to be against the Bor-
all amendment in its present form.
The views of President Harding, Sec
retary Hughes and other adninistra-
tion officials have been sought but SEN
ators who have talked with them win
not disclose what opinions were ex-
pressed. Senator Lodge OF Massachu-
setts, the Republican Senate leader,
was said to oppose the amendment as
it stands although he and other ad-
ministration supporters, it was said,
might be willing to give il their sup
port if it were limited in scope.
Those who want to see the language
of the proposal changed inclpde SEN
ators Curtis of Kansas, assistant Re
publican leader, Smoot of Utah, and
Watson Of Indiana. Most Of the Re-
lican irreconcilable group were said to
be against the amendment as written
or any similar provision likely, in
their opinion, to result in European
entanglements.
