SHOWN THROUGH "RETREAT."
Legislative Investigators Visited Institu
tion at Brattleboro.
Brattleboro, Feb. 22. The legislative
committee appointed to investigate con
ditions at the Brattleboro retreat, ar
rived in town yesterday afternoon and
immediately began work. All of the
members were present, including Sen
ators William II. Fairchild of Fairfax
and Linus Leavens of Cambridge and
Representatives William If. Reirden of
Barton, Lynn D. Brooks of Montpelier
and Charles L. Stewart of Lyndon.
The investigators were accompanied
on their trip through the institution by
Dr. S. E. Law ton, superintendent of the ,
retreat, Judge James M. Tyler, president
of the board of trustees, and Atty. E. W.
Gibson, counsel for the institution.
The investigation n being made as a
result of a resolution introduced in the
House by Representative Wilson of Pow
Iial, who claimed that Mrs. Hattie Guil
ford of North Adams, Mass., formerly
of Powna, was abused while an inmate
of the retreat.
The committee yesterday conducted a
thorough inspection of 15 of the 18 wards
including the quarters of the worst pa
tients in "confinement. They inquired
into equipment and as to the relation
the institution bears to the state, both
private and atate patients being treated
there. I
An interesting feature of the visit of
the committee was the inspection of the j Boston Herald,
Bagging the TJ-Boat.
It may be too early to call the re
newed submarine campaign a failure,
but it is admittedly falling far of it
advance notices. The tonnage destroyed
thus far in February is much less than
half the rate of destruction that Ger
man authorities said would mean the
starvation of England. The rate has
appreciably fallen off in the past week,
though, of course, the shipping held in
port by fear of submarines is a part ot
the effectiveness of the U-boat plan.
In the mean time what of the defen
sive agencies that England is employ
ing! True to its policy, England keeps
absolutely silent as to the means em
ployed and the results attained. Now
and then we get a hint or a brief glimpse,
but little that is definite. Officers of
the Mongolia, which arrived in New
York the other day, told with much de
tail of seeing 1H7 captured submarines
in Plymouth harbor. Returning Ameri
cans no less a man than President But
ler of Columbia among them have stor
ies that run into even higher figures.
We have just learned of the 550 craft
built last year for the British govern
ment by a single American firm, to be
used in chasing submarines, and we
know that they were only one of the
agencies in the work. '
There are grim stories of the great
nets used, of the assistance of airplanes,
of the work of the thousands of traw
lers, but so little that Is definite and
tangible that when an armed merchant
man sinks a submarine there are big
headlines to tell the world of it. Eng
land may never tell the whole story of
its defense against the submarine men
ace, but it is altogether likely that
enough facts and figures will come out,
officially or unofficially, after the war,
to make the story one of the most stir
ring and suraifieant of the whole record.

Residents of Maple avenue were star
tied one afternoon recently on hearing
crashing noise that sounded like the fir
ing of a cannon. They found that th
roof of the barn of A. Fine had slid off
to the rear of the buildings. The cause
of the accident was the weight of snow
which had accumulated through the win
ter, which loosened the sticks that held
the roof to the framework of the barn
The roof was of a peculiar shape, hav
ing a slant from the eaves to about half
way to the ridgepole, and from this point
it went to the ridgepole on a more grad
ual incline. It was the upper part of the
roof which slid, both aides of the roof
dropping to the ground. Luckily there
was no one in the vicinity and no dam
age occurred in the interior of the build
ing. Mr. Fine will put a temKrary roof
over the building, m he has a good deal
of second-hand furniture in this section
of the building.
The funeral of Charles E. Abaire, who
committed suicide Monday at his home
in Plainfield by taking paris green, was
held this morning at his former home in
Waterbury at 10 o'clock. Mr. Abaire
was formerly a stonecutter by trade
and worked in the Waterbury sheds, but
failing health caused him to give up
stone cutting and he located in Plainfield
about ttfo years ago, buying the farm of
II. P. Hinman. During the past year he
had been failing steadily from a tuber-
oular trouble and of late had had several

sponaent mood and tooK the poison
about 10 o'clock in the morning. His
family, discovering what he had done,
immediately called Dr. O. W. Hodgdon of
Plainfield, "but the summons -proved to be
too late to be of any avail and he died
the next moaning at 8 o'clock. He leaves
a wife and three children, two daughters
and one son, Catherine, the oldest, Laura,

Relief in small doses is at hand for
quarriers and granite manufacturers, who

famine. On Milstone hill, two quarries
where operations were suspended be
cause of tlie shortage, nave resumed
work, and through the medium of bor
rowing and lending among the leading
quarriers other plants have been enabled
to get along on homeopathic portion. It
is said that tonnage of coal now on the
road or ordered by the quarry owners is
unusually large, and that almost any
freight train may be expected to relieve
the situation. Here in the city manu
facturers have felt the pinch to some ex
tent, and in one or two instances there
have been brief suspensions, but business
in the cutting industry is booming and
the manufacturers are loath to shut
down unless a suspension is absolutely
imperative.

A Barre merchant received for mer
chandise delivered a few davs ago a half-
dollar which ha been assayed as brass
and he is wondering whether the per
son who passed the funny money has
any of the same metallic ingredients in

tomer who unloaded the bad half dollar
on the dealer did so in the knowledge
that it would not stand the acid, test,
but inasmuch a the coin has a ring sim
ilar to that of the genuine half-dollar,
the merchant is inclined to the belief
that the man who handed him the coin
was in ignorance that be was passing
a counterfeit. Coins of lead are not a
rarity, but some time has elapsed since
a piece of brasa money was reported.

Edward Carson Tells About
with Submarines.
London, Feb. 22. Sir Edward Carson,
first lord of the admiralty, told in the
House of Commons yesterday an inspir
ing story of the silent achievements of
the British navy, all the more welcome
because of the unexpected and interest
ing revelations as to the extent to which
the navy is countering the submarine
menace.
The sacrifices which the nation is asked
voluntarily to bear in the shape of self
rationing and the daily rfcc in food prices
makes the submarine danger the most
absorbing question of the moment, and
Sir Edward Carson's statement was list
ened to by an expectant House with in
tense satisfaction.
The first lord's showing how subma
rines are being fought bv destroyers, sea
planes and other means and with what public must
apparent success, together with his
promise of further publicity in the fu
ture, proved the most attractive feature
of hiB speech.
Besides indicating the gigantic work
of the navy during the war, the trans
port of 8.0O0.0O0, 9,000.000 tons of ex
plosives and 47,000.000,000 gallons of pet
rol, and the examination of over 25,000
ship, Sir Edward Carson gave statistics
of ship movements which will tend to re
store public confidence as to the extent
the submarine war is likely to achieve
its object, indicating that the arming of
merchantmen had increased 47 per cent
in the last few months.
Sir Edward expressed the confident be
lief that the evil would be gradually
mitigated. He admitted that the allied
losses were serioua enough, but were not
equal to "the blatant and extravagant
bravado" of the German accounts of
them. - '
From Feb. 1, when Germany began her
intensified submarine warfare, to Feb. 18
allied and neutral vessels aggregating
304.000 tons had been sunk, Sir Edward
said, as compared with tonnages of 223,
000 and 198,000, rspectively, for the same
periods in December and January. These
tonnage included small vessels sent to
the bottom.
Sir Edward announced that the ad
miralty had a record of 40 encounters
with submarines during the first 18 days
of February and cited several cases
where underwater boats had been cap
tured or sunk.
Some time it may attempt the great
things it was intended to do.
Greater are to be the powers of the
president. If the bill be passed he will
have but to say the word to prohibit the
transfer by sale or charter of any American-registered
or American-owned ship,
or of a contract for the construction of a
hip. He may require the sale to tho
government of any vefsel that is being
built, or may take control of the ship
yard facilities for the building of it. To
crown all, he may take possession of
any American-owned ship without notice,
if in his judgment the emergency just i-
ties sucn action. Tlie question arises
why should not the president be required
to act in these matters by and with the
advice of some responsible body? And
there is nothing improperly personal in
this question. It is not asked in refer
ence to President Wilson alone, but in
reference to every future president whose
judgment would be supremeif this bill
were made law. Lot us beware of autoc
racy. The tendency toward it in a re-

The New Shipping Bill.
There ought to be no rushing of the
administration shipping bill through
Congress. It is of such importance to
the country, it confers such powers on
the president, ami it comes into such
contact with the freedom of shipowners
and shipbuilders, that it should not be
passed without full explanation and scru
tiny of each proposal. There is a temp
tation to pass it as quickly as possible
in this time of uncertainty of the con
tinuance of peace, its purpose being
avowedly to authorize specific acts by
the president in time of war or national
emergency. And whatever authority
may be necessary ought to be given, so
that the requisite powers may be ready
for use.
But the bill which has been drafted by
members of the shipping board and sen
ator of the commerce committee con
tains provisions that are in need of evi
dence to prove them desirable or justifi
able. The shipping board proposes to re
lieve itself of the legal requirement that;
any ship it may purchase shall be not
less than 75 per cent efficient. Hoes this
mean that it wishes to enter the btii
nes of buying and repairing wrecks?

en. Whole cities are changed.
Men are inspired to better things by
seeing the pattern rolling over the loom
of life. They go forth to epin better,
truer lives.
The greater the vision, the greater the
work. Time seem too short to weave
the pattern.
Still the weaver sits at his loom fling
ing his shuttle rapidly fa as to complete
the pattern before life's labors are closed.
