Lieutenants Stephen Farrell, L. A. Kloor and Wal ter Ilinton, refreshed by their first night's sleep in complete comfort since setting out from the frozen Hudson bay regions, where they landed on Dee. 14, after a hazardous balloon flight from Rockaway, X. Y., to-day enjoyed this trading post's hospitality, preparatory to their departure late this afternoon for Toronto. They were guests of officials of the Canadian National railway, who pro vided a private cur in which they spent the night and in wl'iieh they will travel to Toronto. To all outward appearances the bit ter dispute that arose between Lieu tenants Farrell and Hinton shortly aft er their arrival here yesterday, which culminated in a blow from Farrell that nont his fellow airman sprawling over a table in the home of II. P. William fpn, had been settled to-dav. The aeronauts rose early, had breakfast to cether in their private car and all re gretted -the incident that marred their historical adventure. Both larrell and Jlinton were reticent to-day, regarding h occurrence. The altercation arose over a letter written by Hinton to his wife from Uloone Factory, where they first found iruneor, after wandering through the vildernes four days, subsisting on two carrier pigeons and caribou moss. In ,he letter, published by a Xew York .jiewspaper, Hinton wrote that Farrell, exhausted from the rigorous wandering, J .leaded with his two companions to :ill him and eat his body to enable Ihem to get back to civilization, i Farrell charged his companion with 'double crossing" him, saying all had agreed that their letters should not lie published. Hinton a refusal to retract Kaa the immediate cause for Farrell's ilow. Xewspaper correspondents inter fvrrA and separated the men. Relaxed from their first night's com fort, after nearly a month of hardship Jiowever, the fellow adventurers to slay apparently tried to forget their differences and began to think of the deception planned by the Toronto Ko lary club upon their arrival there and i.f their ultimate arrival in Rockaway tn Friday. All three to-day were somewhat taci. turn regarding their four days' vissici. pudea after landing in the wilds and be fore they finally siirhted Tom Mark She free Indian, who led them to the it tie Hudson Bay company's trading Tost at Moobb rae.tory.

They were so hungry on the third flight they could not sleep, lie said, "ex rept Kloor, who slept so soundly and o rloee to the fire be burned his flying fcoota." They were beginning to become desperate, he said, by the time they aighted sled tracks about 10 o'clock on the morning of the fourth day. They followed the tracks about five miles, along the Moose river, before they frighted the Indian, who started to flee hen Hinton offered him a cigarette. Jle became more communicative, how ever, when Kloor gave him a dollar. The trip from Moose Factory to Mat. (lee was uneventful.

Changes in the pinna for the inauguration of President-elect Harding will not inter fere with the intention of President Wilson to accompany him to the capi tol to take the oath of otlice. It was learned to-day. Mr. Wilson thus on March 4 will make his first appearance at the capitol in more than a year and a half and also his last appearance as president of the I. mted States. Other plans of President Wilson for inauguration day also are not expect ed to be affected by the changes made in the inauguration ceremonies at the request of the president-elect. After Mr. Harding takes the oath of office he and Mrs. Harding,' in accordance with custom, are expected to entertain Mr. and Mrs. Wilson at luncheon. President Wilson plans to leave the White House for the home which he recently purchased on the day preced ing his retirement from otlice. Many of President-elect and Mrs. Harding's belongings, including tome of those now in their Washington home, prob ably will be moved into the White House during inaugural week. Plans for the inauguration of President-elect Harding as they stood to day provided for ceremonies as simple as those, attending the induction into office of Thomas Jefferson, who walked from his rooming place to the catiitot. The oath of office will be administered in the Senate chamber in the presence of members of the Senate, House and supreme court and. a gallery of not more than I,(MH) persons.

EXPECT W ILSON TO SETTLE DISPUTE GEN. T. H. BLISS TESTIFIED Any Nation Refusing Would Be Looked Upon With Suspicion Washington, D. C, Jan. 2. Should the United States-call upon the nations f the world for "a full, free and fair discussion of - reduction of armaments, the favorable response would be prompt and inevitable" the House naval committee was told to-day by General Tasker H. Bliss, former Amer ican representative on the supreme War council at Paris. '"The nation that would come to such a conference and refuse to agree to my proposition looking to disarma- ncnt or at least a reduction of its military establishment,"' said General iliss, "could be written down as the next Germany, and the United States could make its plans aocoridngly." General Bliss said his association with the high military representaive of the other powers at Paris had con firmed his belief that all of the great nations of flic world were ready to talk disarmament seriously. "Our present form of civilization can not stand the great strain of military preparation much longer," General Hlisa declared. "The world war was a ter rific strain on civilization. The next war will be very much worse. Fear is the basis of war preparation. This is a business proposition and Ave should etermine whether there is any reai basis for the fear that causes these great military and naval programs." it would not lie necessary to nave an tlue nations of the world represented at the suggested conference, lie said.

After the state department yesterday had refused to waive the pasport regulations and had ordered the deportation of O'Callaghan the labor department declined to recognize the jurisdiction of the secretary of state in the matter. 1 his situation made neces sary some action by the president and the rase was laid before him.

CONTINUES TO SEND OUT CALLS FOR AID thev will le anything but brother i Norwegian Freight Steamer Ontaneda Report Herself Disabled and 'Members of Crew In jured. Montreal, Quebec, Jan. 12. The Xorwegian freight steam-hip Ontaneda, Xew York for Xorway, reported jester day by wireless as being in distress about 1,200 miles from Xew York, con tinued to-day to send out urgTht radio calls for assistance. A report received at tape Race to-day from the strii ken ship put her position a approximately 1.0J0 mile east of Halifax. The radio menage stated that the ship had not only bad her steering gear disabled by the heavy w4 but that "Did you ever talk it over with any of Japan's or Italy officials It" asked Chairman Butler. "I believe I did with Italian repre sentatives!" was the reply. "Of course . subject only came up at that time incidentally." "If it were left to me I woulv, not disarm an American soldier nor lay up u American ship until all the great powers had reached an agreement," de clared the general. "If such a confer: ence were to be held and if the Senate until we are recognised aa human be iug whose rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness cannot be de nied as unnecessary or extravagant by any arbitrary industrial overlord." The statement declares that the wage cut means that the workers have to pay 224 per cent of heir wages for the privilege of working "and this after having sacrificed 25 to 50 per cent of their wage for the year through unem ployment." It declares that the cost of living has not gone down 22'j per cent were to make public every day an at-,,.nrf Kava that President Wood after stract of the propositions put forward ' getting -one million dollars in salary and the arguments for and against, i and commissions plus a 500 per cent with the names of the national repre sentatives who made them, the com mon people of the world would not al low the conference to dissolve until at least the first step forward had been taken. "I do not care what the cabinets of the world think, the masses of the peo ple, who pay the taxes, have the vital interests in this subject." STATE CONSTABULARY Is in Recommended as Desirable Massachusetts. Boston, Jan. 12. Establishment of a state constabulary was recommended to the legislature , by a special commis sion to-dav. The danger menacing rur al and suburban town through the operations of criminals that were for merly confined to large cities was given as a principal reason lor creating a constabulary force. The development of the automobile by criminals." said the report, "has greatly extended their sphere of opera tions. Crimes that are planned in the large cities mav now be executed in distant towns and flight accomplished with excellent chances of avoiding de tection and apprehension. "The unlawful Use of the automo bile has thus developed a condition that can only be coped with successfully by motorized patrol of the state high way carried out by an efficient force of men secially trained for the pur pose. . profit, "which he is allowed to make because cloth is not clothing aecord'ng to our profiteering laws' takes $5 a week from his worker wives' and chil dren. "The system of society, which re quires such action or allows it," the statement savs, "must be willed off the face of the earth." SURVIVED WAR WOUND BUT DIED OF FALL Captain George M. Wallace, Wounded in Argonne Battle, Fell from Pole at New Haven, Conn. Xew Haven, Conn., Jan. 12. Captain George M. Wallace, who waa wounded in the Argonne while in command of Company D, lil.'ld machine gun bat talion, 2oth division, was killed yes terday when he fell from a telegraph pole in the Cedar Hill yards of the Xew Haven road. He was an electrical fore man for the railroad. Captain Wallace's company was made up largely of Hliode Island men. He was awarded the croix de guerre and was cited in army orders. He was 30 years old and married. The need of securing an increased city water supply, a proposed reduc tion in the tax rate of the city, rec ommendation for consolidation of some of the schools of the city and report on the completion of the granite arch bridge on South Main street were salient features of the annual message of Mayor Frank K. Langley submitted to the board of aldermen last night. the message being one of several an nual reports presented and ordered printed in the 1021 city report. Mayor Langley reported that not withstanding the fact that the city had to pay about $7,50) of old bills, the city ended the past year with a cash balance $21,000 greater than a year ago; and although the city borrowed $34,000, as authorized by the citizens, for the construction of the granite bridge, the net debt of the city has not increased more than $5,000 after deducting cash balance and sinking fund for the year. If the school account could lie cut 15 cents, he asserted, and could lie matched by a similar reduction in the general city tax, and supplemented by a reduction of the direct state tax by one-half, it may be possible to carry the city along in 1021 on a $3.50 tax rate instead of $4 as at present. the message of Mavor Langley is as follows: To the Citizens of Bane: Following along the lines of gener.il business, the policy of the city in the year just closed has Wen one of re trenchment and readjustment. Everv effort has been niaile to bring the city's finances and affairs to a point where practically a new start could be made the coming year, with the hope of keeping up with the progress of the times and the advance of the city. Barre just now is feeling the full effects of the general slump in busi ness, but a revival always follows a slump and we are sure to see a re sumption of old-time activity. Because the income from taxation in the years immediately preceding 1920 was not equal to the expenditures in city affairs, a considerable numlier of bills came forward for payment '.n this year and your present city gov ernment faced the problem of not only taking care of the requirements for the year but also this accumulation of bills for expenses incurred in previous years. These amounted to an approxi mate total of 7.5(K) and 'with the in creased cost of labor and materials did not present a very promising outlook for achievement in the way of new permanent work and construction. While our tax rate was increased to a total of 4, only 13 centsof the ad ditional tax went to the general city tax for general city purposes. With this, however, and the additional in come derived from a larger grand list, the city has maintained all city de partments Ht the usual standard of efficiency, paid all bills contracted dur ing the . year, cleared up over t'JW SENATE SENDS TWO BILLS AtONG And House Received Four Measures in Short Session COMMITTEE WORK MUCH HAMPERED Because of the Lack of Room in State House at Montpelier RUMOR TROLLEY CO. TO QUIT IS NOT SUBSTANTIATED The Vermont Senate got its legisla tive machinery into action before the House in the general assembly of 1021, starting the wheels in motion this morning by sending two bills to a third reading. The bills to be thus honored were S. 3, providing that a town which has once voted to have medical inspec tion of schools shall continue with the inspection until it is voted not to have such inspection; and S. 8, increas ing the debt limit under the charter of the city of Rutland. Then the senators, evidently feeling that they hud done their part in start ing legislation, adjourned for the day and gave the committees a chance to get some more work ready. The House was 'in session for only a few minutes tins morning, long enough to receive a message from Governor llartness saying that he had appointed Julius A. illeox of Montpelier as sec retory of civil and military affairs and Harvey T. Lallin of Springfield, execu tive clerk. This same message was transmitted to the .Senate. Four new bills were introduced in the House- H. 13, by Mr. Ripley of Poul ney, provides that banks may charge interest at a rate greater than six per cent by agreement with the borrower when and during the time that the in terest charged by the federal reserve bank of Boston is in excess of six per cent; H. 11, by Mr. Bradley of Swan ton, would repeal the law providing. for a presidential primary; If. 15, Mr. But ton of Middlcbiiry, relates to the own ership and disposition of property of certain Congregational churches, and H. Hi, by Mr. Williams of Peru, pro vides $2 license fee for each male or spayed female dog and ti dollars for each female dog, practically restoring provisions of dog law existing before 1010, but doubles the fees. There being no further business, the House adjourned for the morning. There i was very little business ready to be taken up this afternoon. Committee Work Hampered. Legislation in tiiis general assembly promises to be greatly impeded unless some more satisfactory arrangement for committee meetings than are at present available can be found. There A rumor heard particularly in Montpelier that the Barre and Montpelier 'Traction and Power' company was to discontinue its entire service the last of the present month was put up to Su perintendent Durell of the com pany to-day and he declared he knew nothing of any such plans. The rumor may or may not have started from the fact that the Seminary hill car in Montpelier ha not been running for two days because of the blowing out of both motors and lack of equip ment to put in its place.

Brown, it is understood, stoutly maintained his innocence of the charge when arrested last night by Deputy Sheriff H. J. Slavton, and announced that he would fight the accusation. He was not asked last night to plead in the case; nor was there formal ar raignment of the respondent when he appeared before Judge Scott in the latter's offices in the Rowland block. Brown was not accompanied by an at torney, but it is understood that he will be represented by Attorney J. Ward Carver in whatever proceedings may follow. The respondent asked that bail be fixed pending the formal arraignment, and Judge Scott set the amount at $1,000, which was furnished by the respondent's brother. James A. Brown, of Barre. in the shape of securities, after which the respondent was re leased from custody. State's Attor ney E. R. Davis, on whose complaint' the arrest was made, represented the state in the preliminary proceeding and will prosecute the case. The state's attorney was busy in probate court matters to-day, and a date for a hear ing on the accusation has not been named. Brown has lived in Barre practically all his life, having been born in this city 31 years ago. He was employed in a bank in St. Johnsbury prior to coming to the Barre Savings Bavk 4. Trust Co. three years ago. That em ployment in the Barre bank continued until May IV 1!20. The complaint set up an embezzle ment on May 7, 1!20. After leaving the Barre Savings Bank & Trust Co. he became employed in the Barre branch of the Wells -Richardson Co. ef Bur lington and later, after the Barre branch was closed, he went to t)l home plant in Burlington. In the war rant bis occupation was given a as sistant superintendent. The complaint filed by State's At torney Davis follow the usual form and read that George A. Brown "then and there being the clerk, agent and servant of an incorporated tiank, to wit. the Barre Saving Bank & Trut Co., a banking corporation organized under and by virtue of the laws of Ver mont, having its principal place of business at the city of Barre. in the county of Washington, did then and there in hi capacity as sin-h clerk. agent and rvant, receive, collect and hold note, bill, obligations, money and securities belonging to the said Barre Saving Bank & Trut Co. ani that at the city of Brre afore tail ei the day aforesaid the said Ceorg A.
