About May 1 will mark the opening of the navigation Reason of the Champlaln Transportation company, according to a statement made hv Daniel A. T general superintendent of the company, iiiursuuy. inis aaie is aoout two weeks later than the season's usual opening but, taking Into consideration the weather, fuel and war conditions. It seems about the most reasonable time to start steamers on their routes. As each Steamer hllrra hnturepn 1ft nn4 9A .n.n n coal a day, It means a considerable loss to the concern to run the boats early In the season unleHgi thorn nm naD.,mr.r. and freight enough to pay somewhere near me cost or operation. At the open ing of the season there is always such a loss and the officials Intend to elim inate as much of that this season as possiDie. In the opinion of the coal men there is plenty of coal in the city now to last until the middle of April. Coal has been coming In steadily of late and there Is much moro In transit. Although no ruling has yet been made, it Is the opinion of the coal men that Mr. Garfield will rule that every consumer shall register with his dealer and give evidence as fo the amount he ordinary needs during a year as well as what, If any, he has on hand. He will then be allowed to purchase this summer two thirds of the amount which he thinks be will use during the winter. Consumers who use six tons or less during the winter probably will be allowed to purchase the entire amount. N. E. Pierce of the Ellas Lyman Coal company has recently re turned from a business trip to the coal centers and that this method of proceeding win te adopted by the government seems to be the view of the big coal dealers. APPELMANN CASE AGAIN. Effort to Connect It with Election of University Trustee. It has been generally supposed that the Appelmann Incident at the Univer sity of Vermont was closed with the departure for Germany of the profes sor, but It has broken out afresh In connection with the nomination and election of a trustee of the university. Following action taken several years ago by the Alumni association, tha alumni each year submit a candidal, for truster, the selection being made from one of three candidates named by a nominating committee appointed at the previous annual meeting of the as sociation, held at commencement time. Ballots are sent out each spring ;to those entitled to vote, and the ballots. marked In accordance with the wishes of the man or woman voting, are re turned by. a certain date. The candi date having tfc largest number of votes is certified to the board of trus teeij as the choice of the alumni, and his election has heretofore always fol lowed. These ballots havo not yet been sent out for this year, but a large number of anti-Appelmann alumni have Bent nut a circular letter to the alumni, claiming that Merton C. Robblns of New York Is about to be nominated for the position of trustee "as a vindication of the way the Appelmann case has been handled by tho majority of the alumni Investigating committee, of which Mr. Robblns was a member, and by the college authorities." The antl Appelmann men further put forward Philip J, Ross, also of New York, as a candidate for the office of trustee, "whose election," It Is stated, "would show a condemnation' of the action of the university authorities in regard to Appelmann." Mr. RobblnB's supporters havo issued a rejoinder, deploring tho action of Mr. Ross's frlentls In reopening the Appel mann Issue, and stating that, so far as they can learn, tho name of Mr. Rob blnB has never been promoted by any one Involved In the Appelmann matter, and certainly he w;ib unaware of the commttteo's Intention until after his name had been definitely placed in nomination. They quote Alvln M. Taylor, president of the Alumni asso ciation, as saying: "I am astonished that the Appelmann matter Is being used In a campaign against Mr, Rob blns. This Incident has been closed and alumni should vote for trustee sole ly upon the basis of personal qualifica tions of the candidates." OBITUARY Gen. Theodore 8. Peek, Gen. Theodore 8.

WANTED TO BLOW UP A WHOLE VILLAGE r Lack of Means Alone Saved Der- by Line from Annihilation at Hands of Harold Mackley, Ac cording to Testimony in His Trial. Derby Line was in danger of being blown up nt one time, according to the testimony which was Introduced In United States court yesterday morning In the trial of Harold Mackley, who Is following the Rev. Clarence H. Watdron with a trial under the espionage act. According to what somo pretty safe members of the community said, Mackley has not been very clever about his statements and has made plenty of them. The United States court, which has al ready spent more time in Burlington than lnany town In the State In years during one session, because of the character of the trials, went to work on Mackley yes terday In old-time fashion and no less than seven witnesses were examined dur ing the forenoon. At noon the government rested its case and Mackley came on In the afternoon. His direct and cross examination took only a little more than a half hour. The court then took a recess until this morning, when a witness for the defence will take the stand and com plete the testimony. The pleas of the at torneys and the judge's charge will take up a part of the day, so the case will probably go to the Jury this afternoon. According to the testimony of the wit nesses yesterday, Mackley promised that if he ever had the means he would blow up the town. That Is where Derby Line was In danger, but Mackley didn't have the means, so It Is still on tha map. The testimony for the prosecution tended to show other peculiarities of Mackley's mind. C. R. Counter, manager of the Holland creamery where the defendant worked, testified ,to such statements as that Mackley a number of times expressed himself as being very proud of his Ger man blood. Some of the statements alleged to have been made by him. were as follows; "If the United States would mind Its own business It wouldn't be In this war and I would be glad If It were beaten." "I would never fight against the German people and If forced Into the war I calculate to shoot a number of Americans before I am killed, and If every German did the same the war would soon be over." According to the testimony of his for mer employer. Mackley made a number of other remarks along the same line. These were to the effect that the soldiers In the United States army were used like dogs, that the United States government owed him money which he couldn't get etc. George Perkins, a farmer who sometimes went to the creamery where Mackley worked, testified that he heard Mackley say that he was glad when a ship load of sugar, bound for the allies, was sunk. He also was glad when the Tuscanla was sunk because he thought the soldiers should remain on this side. He heard Mackley say on one occasion that If he had a chance he would shoot the Kaiser and that would stop the war. Carroll E. Tabor Was one of the strong est witnesses for the prosecution. He stated that he heard Mackley say that It he were ever forced to go to war he would shoot a half dozen American soldiers and that If every German did the same, the war would soon be over. He was with Tabor on one occasion when they met with a solicitor for the Red Cross. Tabor had already Joined and offered to "go good" for Mackley If the latter would Join. Mackley replied that he would do nothing to support the government. They were a Dunch or crooks. Testimony In substantiation of the other witnesses was siven hv William PHn-i. nf Shelburne, Nelson Bennett of Derby Line, and ueorge T. Ames, who operates a gar age In Derby Line and who waa tho man who tried to get Mackley to Join the Rod Cross. R. P. Skinner, a deputy United States marshal, who arrested the defendant, tes tified that Macklev told him that tlin arma ments made by the above named wit nesses were correct In the main. In the afternoon, Mackley took the stand In his own behalf. Hn InternretA .Via remarks made by him as being misunder stood by the people. He liked to argue and made these statementa !n a spirit of fun. Ho admitted making many of them. Although hi had tola many of the Dorby Line pooplo that be was a German and proud of It, when testifying In his own behalf he said he wasn't sure, but had thought his father was German and he was certain that his mother was Irish. Tho coplo of Derby Line were so much Incensed nt Mackley that a petition was circulated at one time and presented to Bert Rice, his bondsman, asking that he surrender him to the custody of the Uni ted States. It Is evident that tho people of Derby Line consider Mackley far from telng an Ideal citizen of tho United States. There was little difficulty experienced yesterday morning In drawing a Jury.

WALDRON CASE WHY BE APPEALED Taking It to Higher Court Would, However, Entail the Expenditure of Large Sum of Money and Sentence Is Ex pected To-day. It is probable that the Rev. Clarence H. Waldron, who was convicted under the espionage act In United States court, will be given his sentence to-day by Judge Harland B. Howe. It Ib understood that while the lawyers for both the prosecution and the defence agreed on tho charge of the Judge, the case may be taken to the United States circuit court of appeals on the rulings In the testimony. Some of the clergyman's supporters, Judging from things heard outside the court rooni, have expressed their determination to see the case through to a finish nnd a number of Pentecostals are still In the city, despite the fact that the verdict was rendered Tuesday night. To take the case to the court of appeals would Involve a largo expenditure of money but If a number of Mr. Waldron's supporters are so agreed, the price might be raised among them. One of tho first expenses which would be Incurred would be the publication of a bound volume of the entire testimony in tho case. This would mean publishing; a book of at least Vee Hike 21, 1918 The Old Bed Hive Easter display of pretty hats of fers, every facility to choose with greatest sat isfaction and pleasure.

The cost of doing this, with the expense of getting a stenographer to write the book and other Incidentals, would mean at least a thousand dollars. In tho estimation of those who have had experience in such matters. Then would, come the fees of the attorneys and many other things which would enter Into tho expenses column. The case, If taken to the court of appeals, would be simply an argument as to fact. Yesterday M. G. Leary, one of the at- i torneys for the defence, was out of town' so that little business could be transacted from the Waldron point of view. During ' the entire day, however, Mr. Waldron waa busy In consultation with different mem bers of his staff on the defence. The fact that some of tho most influential of his supporters remain here is also Interpreted to mean that there may be still moro light among them. Mr. Waldron still has his liberty, and remains with his wife and, child, in spit of the decision of the Jury. If tho case is taken to the circuit court of appeals, the Judge on the trial her.' may pronounce sentence and order Mr. Waldron committed on his sentence ao that all the time spent In tho delay will count in his favor In caha h la Anallv un tenced to spend time. The ordinary' v lirui-vuuru in criminal cases oexore l&e i , court of appeals is that they be tried but', of their order, that Is before other' casM ,.' which are pcndlne.
