Manager Howe of the Free Press Says 1904 Job was All Right. The attention of the Journal has been called by Manager W. B. Howe of the Tree Press, to the statement made by L. H.

Roscoe and reprinted in Wednesday's Journal in regard to an alleged overcharge of the Free Press in printing the newspaper supplements of the Public Acts in 1904. The amount charged for, according to Roscoe, was over 700,000 printer's ems, and he stated, both in his interview with the Journal and in his paper, the Green Mountain Press, that "it would be difficult to find any printer outside the Free Press office who can make the type in those supplements measure up within several hundred thousand ems of that amount." Six-point type 312 ems to the inch and measures, about 2,107 inches of 6-point type in the 1904 supplement job. This gives 657.384 ems of six-point. The title-page and index, 'SO Mr. Howe says, are charged for as 10-point, which would probably bring the total up to over 700,000, provided the type was set "solid." A glance at the 1904 supplements, however, shows that they are not anything like it.

The Roscoe supplements measure 12 lines to the inch, the Howe supplements measure about eight on an an average. If payment was made on the basis of solid type, without leads or spacing between the lines, the Free Press certainly did not set any 700,000 ems of type. If it was understood that a leaded job should be paid for as solid, the charge was correct and proper. TAKEN WITH HYSTERICS IN JAIL. Woman Charged With Assault.

Hinkley, that occurred this morning shortly before 6 o'clock at his home on College street, removes one of the oldest citizens and one who was for years prominent in the city.

Hinkley suffered greatly from asthma and had not been able to lie down on this account.

At about 5:30 o'clock this morning, while his wife was ministering to him, he passed away without a struggle. Pringle Hamilton Hinkley was born in Lebanon, N. on May 3, 1822.

During the first years of their married life Mr. and Mrs. Hinkley lived in New Hampshire where he was in business. In 1866 Mr. Hinkley came to Montpelier as state general agent for a life insurance company.

years later, in 1868, he formed a partnership with the late Trueman Best under the name of Hinkley Best and the firm ran a dry goods store on Main street where the Pierce harness shop is now located. After the death of his first partner, C. A. Best, a brother, entered the firm and the business was continued until 1878. Soon after coming to Montpelier the deceased was elected to the office of justice of the peace and for many years he acted as the trial justice, corresponding to the present city judge.

From the early days of the locating of the Seminary in this city Mr. Hinkley was deeply interested in the school and was untiring in his efforts in its behalf. He was a member of the board of trustees for years and up to within but a few months of his death he was superintendent of the large spring water system that the school owns. Mr. Hinkley wa a member of the order of Odd Fellows in New Hampshire and was a member of the Masonic lodges in this city.

That he lived up to the principles of charity and kindness on which those orders are based, is the unanimous sentiment of all who knew the deceased.
