THE VERMONT PHCENIX, BRATTLEBOKO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1909 BRATTLEBORO LOCAL SPICY HEARINq in CHINESE CASE. Judae Mar.ttn and Attorney Walth Had Difference of Opinion Claimed that Inspector Abused Hie Discretion. Habeas corpus proceedings were held beford United States Judge J. L. Martin In his ofllco In the American building Monday afternoon, brought to secure tho release of a Clvlneso Immigrant, Chin Hon Lock, and the hearing was tho spiciest one that has occupied Judge Martin's attention In a long time, chin was given a hearing before Inspector Arthur L.

Weeks of Rlchford, who decided that he was an alien and had ifot been Identified as a native born citizen and tho ptoper holder of a certificate which ho exhibited as entitling him to return to this country. Chin appealed to tho secretary of commerce and labor, and tho acting secretary of that department sustained Mr. Weeks's decision, whereupon habeas corpus proceedings were brought on tho ground that Mr. Weeks abused his discretion. J.

J. Walsh of Boston, a young man, appeared for the Chinaman and District Attorney Alexander Dunnett of St Johnsbury was present in behalf of the government. Mr. Walsh put Mr. Weeks on tho stand as a witness, tho only one who was examined.

Mr. AValsh attempted to show by him that Information which was asked In preparation for tho appeal was not furnished and that Inspector Weeks declined to Inform himself concerning certain Important matters of evidence to which his attention was directed and that Ills decision was arbitrary and an abuse discretion. Judge Martin asked Mr. Walsh, If he meant to say that Mr. Weeks acted In bad faith.

Mr. Walsh assured tho court of his respect for Mr. Weeks and preferred to characterize Mr. Weeks's decision as an abuse of discretion. As the hearing progressed Mr.

Weeks, whose tranquillity was plainly disturbed, mentioned evidence which had come to him Involving an agency Issuing bogus certificates to' Chinese 'Immigrants, and at this point the music started. The court, who, as district attorney, did more than any other man who ever lived to drive Chinese Immigration away from Vermont ports of entry and who knows the Alpha and the Omega of the Chinese Im migration business, appeared to be Impressed with the suggestion of fraud, and he Immediately ruled against a question which Mr. Walsh had asked the witness. Mr. Walsh Insisted that he was within his rights and he undertook to so convince tho court, but Judge Martin was equally positive the other way.

At length Mr. Walsh arose, but he had not spoken many words before tno court directed htm to sit down, and thereupon Mr. Walsh took an exception to tho court's ruling. to' be carried to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. During this part of the hearing the sit uation was somewhat tense, and later Mr.

Wh.lsh expressed his high regard for tho court, but said he was convinced that an Injustice was being done to his client and he asked tho court that as a matter of courtesy ho be allowed to ask Mr. Weeks tho question, notwithstanding tho court's ruling, and the court finally stated that Mr. Weeks could do as he pleased about answering It. Mr. Weeks made no objection to giving an answer.

Mr. Walsh Btated that Chin Hen Lock "formerly lived in Waltham, and that had tho Inspector ascertained, as requested, where Chin's residence wag at tho tlmo the census was taken, he would have been able to produce witnesses who knew Chin In this country. Ho had two witnesses in court, but they were not used. Mr. Walsh said he was perfectly sure Chin was.

a citizen of tho United States and could prove It If ho had full opportunity, whereupon tho court expressed his conviction that Mr. Walsh was doing his best for his client. Tho court stated, however, that the law of Congress made the decision of the In spector final except on appeal to the department of commerce and labor, and that In case of appeal the decision of the department was final. He said It wa3 not for him as a judge to sit In Judgment upon the decision of other tribunals In a matter of this kind and that he should consider It detrimental to the sovereign power of tho country for him to do so. Another point raised by Mr.

Walsh was that the decision of tho department of commerce and labor was made by the acting secretary, whereas the statute says that the secretary himself shall hear and decide such cases. He asked to be allowed to obtain the affidavit of the secretary, but Mr. Dunnett agreed that the decision was made by the acting sec-rary, as appeared on the record. The court gave Mr. Walsh until today to submit a brief and said he would consider the, case tomorrow and Monday before going to New York.

Everybody In the courtroom was Impressed with the brilliancy of Mr. Walsh. He had an exceptional command of English, meeting every unexpected situation in which he found himself without hesitation and with rare diction. Even This Shall Pass Away. Once in Persia reigned a king Who upon his signet ring Graved a maxim true and wise, Which, if held before his eyes Cave him counsel at a glance Pit for every change and chance; Solemn words, and these are they: "Even this shall pass away." Trains of camels through the sand Drought him gems from Samarcand; Fleets of galleys through the seas Brought him pearls to-match with these; But he counted not his gain Treasures of the mine or main; "'What is the king would say.

In the revels of his court, And the zenith of the sport, When the palms of all his guests liurned with dapping at his jests He, amid his figs and wine, Cried, loving friends of mincl Pleasures come, but not to stay; Even this shall pass away." Fighting on a furious Held, Once a Javelin pierced his shield, Soldiers, with a loud lament, Ilore him bleeding to his tent. Groaning from" his tortured side. "Pain is hard to bear," he cried; "But with patience, day by day, Even this shall pass away." Towering In the public square, Twenty cubits in the air, Rose his statue, carved In stone, Then the king, disguised, unknown Stood before his sculptured name, Musing meekly, "What is faine? Fame is but a slow decay-Even this shall pais away." Struck with palsy, sere and old, Waiting at the Gates' of Gold, Said he. with his dying breath, "Life Is done, but what is death in answer to the king, Fell a sunbeam on his ring, Showing by a heavenly ray "Even this shall pass away."

I. K. Fetch, the Veteran Judae, Speaks of the Poultry Department and the Fair as a Whole. Tho Valley fair this year placed Its poultry exhibit on tho list with the winter exhibitions by demanding an entry fee and opening the entries to all recognized breeds. It was expected by so doing that the numbers would bo far less, but quality was oxpeoted to bo better.

There were, however, 1G30 fowls, chicks, ducks and geese entered, making tho largest exhibit but one In tho history of the fair, and quality the best in the experience of the association. The Light Brahmas were three times more numerous than In some recent years. There were nearly as many Barred Plymouth Rocks, with quality never In pure grayish white barred In lines that had no positive black. Tho White P.i-cks were exceptionally fine. Tho cockerel and pullet of this breed winning the blue were beyond a doubt the best pair ever exhibited at Brattleboro, and surely were the king and queen of the entire exhibit, Tho White Wyandottes were the usual fine lot, and kept up their reputation for tho Valley fair, where for several years they have not been surpassed at any fall fair.

The Sliver Wyandottes, females, were that clean, white centre, with clean black lacings that the true fancier admires. The largest class In numbers was tho Rhode Island Iteds, and for quality never before equalled. The best cock was the same bird that has won for three years at this fair. The young stock was remarkably good. These were tho largo classes, while the balance of the breeds were well represented by larger exhibits than In former years.

The Bantam classes were a show In themselves, one exhibitor putting In 9S specimens. The quality was far better than at previous exhibitions. The aquatic division, from the grounds, with a swimming pool, was an attraction to be remembered, The finest lot of geese the writer ever saw were displayed. The variety of ducks was Immense In numbers and of high quality. The poultry department as a whole was surely one of the best divisions of tho fair, notwithstanding that this fair ranks as one of the best three New England exhibitions for Its horses, fat cattle and thoroughbred stock.

Its farm products are not excelled by any fair East or West. The fact that this year Its 10 large squashes weighed 2789 pounds speaks for Itself. The accompanying ex hibits of vegetables, fruits and dairy products was fully In keeping with tho Immense squashes described. The fair has demostrated that an agricultural fair can be run on business principles, by charging a fair entry fee and dividing the labor and expense with those who receive the greatest benefit. THE VERMONT SANATORIUM.

Rules Concerning the Conditions Under Which Patients Are Admitted Officers and Examiners. In order to furnish the information sought by applicants the executive committee of the Vermont Sanatorium for incipient tuberculosis, Pittsford, given to the people of Vermont by the late United States Senator Redfield Proctor, has issued the following statement: Information for Applicants. 1. The Vermont Sanatorium is primarily intended for incipient cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. It believes that by the treatment of such cases it can do the greatest good to the greatest number.

So long, however, as there are vacancies it will gladly receive any case in the early stages, whether strictly incipient or not, which is likely to be benefited by sanatorium treatment. 2. The sanatorium is the gift of the late Senator Proctor "for the benefit of the people of Vermont," and only such are admitted as patients. 3. It is a charitable institution, partly supported by an endowment also given by him; but it was not intended as a free charity, and patients are required to pay a part of their expenses.

Its simple running expenses for the year 1908 were $13.59 for each patient, and including a proper interest and depreciation charge amounted to about $22.50 per week, of which amount one-third was paid by the patients and the other two-thirds was the result of the gift of Senator Proctor. 4. The sanatorium finds itself taxed to its utmost in order to keep within its income, and it has only been able to do that with the generous help of a devoted friend. It regrets that it has no available fund out of which to pay any part of the $7.50 per week required to be paid by patients. When patients are unable to pay this amount their relatives, friends or neighbors in the locality from which they come must undertake to pay it for them.

5. So long as there are vacancies applicants otherwise eligible will be received without reference to their financial condition. When the number of applications exceed the vacancies, preference will be given those who are least able to pay full price elsewhere. 6. Applications should be made on regular blanks obtained from the sanatorium, to be IIcd out and signed by the family physician.

7 AnnliVsnti cations the names of two persons, well known and of high standing in their community, from whom inquiry can be made as to the applicant's character and reputation. 8. Applicants will then be referred to the nearest medical examiner whose report and that of the family physician will be acted upon by the medical director and committee. From among the applications the roost suitable applicants art selected. Those selected will be received at once if there are vacancies; otherwise they will be placed upon the waiting list.

9. On admission to the sanatorium, patients are expected to conform cheerfully and promptly to the rules prescribed for their mutual welfare and protection. Otherwise they will he dismissed. 10. Any patient who fails to improve after a reasonable stay in the sanatorium will be discharged.

11. It is our experience so far that for financial or home reasons the majority of patients who have begun to improve leave the sanatorium before they can be discharged as cured. For the purpose of a permanent cure patients ought to stay until the medical director advises their discharge. The $7.50 referred to includes $7 for room, board, medical attendance, and nursing, and 50 cents for laundry, sputum cups, gauze, etc. The sanatorium has a capacity of forty patients.

All the great fortunes are now In alliance, says a writer In the New York News Bureau. They cannot now safely moye otherwise than together. If the publlo will take their stocks the big men will be happy to receive the money, and tho public can then run the properties. If the public prefers to keep Its money the big men will borrow It, and still further mark up the price of their own goods In the stock market. I estimate the wealth of John D.

Rockefeller at $1,000,000,000, the wealth of James Still-man at not far from P. Morgan at between $200,000,000 and George F. Baker at between and $200,000,000, and these today are" tho four kings of American finance. Although George F.

It can bo practiced with benefit by hnrd-headed business men and even the most material minded. No one doubts the benefits of physical relaxation. To sit perfectly quiet for 6 or 10 minutes after the midday meal and relax every musole, letting the chair support the body and keeping the mind free from any thought of worry has long been declared a remedy for dyspepsia and nn aid to health In every wny. One who practices this relaxation anil tho Inner quiet habit takes somewhat of the peace and poise and Inspiration of each sitting Into his active life, with the best of results. This simple practice helps to build up reserve power.

During the period of rest body and mind are recharged with force. It helps to make life run more smoothly In every way. The Quakers have long practiced this Inner communlqn with the universal life. I recall a member of this sect whom I once met. He was a large, strong man, physlcaly and mentally.

He waB a man who had made a great success In life, who had climbed from the ground ui to the top of his line. He was accustomed to dealing with men, and he dealt with them successfully. Many were engaged In carrying out his Ideas. The one thing about this man, who was far advanced In years, but stilt working, was his reserve power, and the quiet, simple methods of his life. He was efficient, without waste or hurry.

He Impressed others not by a display of great mental or physical force, but simply by being what ho wasw This habit of Inner quiet takes us down Into the foundations of being from whence our real selves spring. Instead of wasting our forces In mere excess of zeal, often In fretting and worry caused by overactivity, we learn poise, reserve, the conservation of power, and the consciousness of being as well as doing. We In America are so busily engaged In doing that we are apt to overlook and forget the being side of our nature. In the mad scramble for wealth we often forget that character has value. In our haste to grasp and regulate matetlal things we get away from the spiritual source of these things.

And so, by the time we have grasped our fill, we are decrepit, old, diseased, world-weary and Incapable of en- Joying what we havo acquired at such fearful cost. This custom of Inner quiet keeps us closer to the fountain of life. It helps us to save somewhat of the wear and tear of modern life upon the nervous system. Of course, like any other good thing, you might easily carry this principle Into excess. A too negative condition.

or an excuse for laziness might easily be grafted upon this philosophy. The balance between objective and subjective activity should always be carefully maintained. What is conceived In the stillness has Its normal frultuge In the objective. In the objective we prove whether or not our translation of subjectively conceived ideas is correct and founded upon absolute truth. Those who would disregard this method of relaxation nnd Inner quiet simply because It has a mystical origin may find plenty of material authority for Its practice.

Try It for yourself, without prejudice, and Its value to you will soon become apparent. William E. Towne In the Nautilus. In the Woods. I turn from life's familiar ways To tread the forest path again.

The friendly silence of the woods Seems wiser than the speech of men. In language I have learned to hear There comes a message, on each breeze, How could I feel myself alone With the companionable trees? And as two hearts in unison Can hear a thought though unexpressed-So akin unto the Find speechless sympathy is best. How foolish seems our wisdom here I How small the trivial thing that grieves. Who would not cast his care away Who hears the laughing of the leaves? And miracles by myriads To eyes anointed to behold Each little beech leaf that the frost Has touched and turned to palest gold.

But finally reading of the good results of the Cuticura Remedies, I determined to try them. I can truthfully say I was more than surprised, for I bought only a dollar and a half's worth of the Cuticura Remedies (Cutioura Soap, Ointment and Pills), and they did more good than all my doctors' medicines I had tried, and in fact entirely cured him.

Charges Made that Hit Plans Were Stolen for Fulton's Steamboat, The Iloston Journal Is making an effort to prove that Ilobert F'ulton Was not tho Inventor of tho steamboat, but that the honor belongs to Capt. Samujel Morey, a plain Vermont farmer, In. the course of an nrtlclo on the subject the Journal makes the following quotations from the Concord, N. Patriot of March 1G, 1883. "Evidence now In the hands of Interested parties, shows conclusively that the plans of Robert Fulton's boat, were stolen from Mr.

Morey, and that the boat then In use by Mr. Morey was scuttled and sunk In the pond at Falrlee, where It now lies, by Fulton's emissaries." Tho Journal, which may have overlooked the fact that the committee In charge of the Hudson-Fulton celebration 1n New York does not claim ithat Fulton was the first man to launch a steam-propelled craft, but merely that he la the first to make It a commercial success, says: "Almost coincident with the great Hudson river celebration In honor of Robert Fulton, evidence tending to show that he was not tho real Inventor of 'the steamboat, though extolled as such, comes to the Journal from those believing fully in the claims of Capt. Samuel Morey, a plain farmer whose home was In Falrlee, that his little steamboat, the Aunt Sally, was built and put Into operation on the Connecticut river In 1J83, 14 years before Fulton's famous Clermont ever wet her hull In the Hudson. "That the Clermont Indeed was merely an enlarged duplicate of Jtorey's tiny craft Is the contention of his supporters, who further declare that his plans were stolen from him after he had gone to New York at the bidding of Fulton and other scientists of the time, and shown his model. "For many years has the Vermont Inventor lain almost unremembered In a country churchyard, but the merits of his claims have now fresh significance In the light of the great honor that this and other nations have just been paying Fulton In New York.

The Clermont made Its trial trip up the Hudson In 1807, ns the histories tell, but from a number" of sources facts have been brought to light to provo that one Sabbath day In 1793 or It may have been 1792 Captain Morey was seen making his way up the Connecticut river at point between the little settlements of Falrlee, and Orford, N. In an odd-looking steam- craft, which successfully prevailed against the current nt a speed of about four miles an hour, aray headed Vermonters tell today of having heard their fathers describe the astonishment and Incredulity that prevailed along the river at the sight. "Rev. Cyrus Mann, a son of one of the original settlers, writing of the Incident some time before his death, stated that In his boyhood he witnessed this trip of the Aunt Sally, 'a little as he described It, just large enough to contain Its one passenger, the rude machinery connected with the small boiler and a handful of wood for a fire. "Satisfied ns to the practicability of his Invention, Captain Morey set about to secure a patent.

That he went to New York and demonstrated his model to the leading scientists there Is shown by a letter written by Capt. Morey himself In 1818 to William A. Dcur, a prominent member of the New York leelslature. This letter was called forth In connection with the grant of exclusive right to navl gate the waters of New York. It was published In the Grafton County Register, printed at iravernlll, N.

Jan. 28, 1887. "After stating that us nearly ns he could recollect It was as early ns 1790 that he turned his to Improving the steam engine and applying it to the purpose of propelling boats. Captain Morey refers to his first experiments on tin Connecticut and then says: 'Having made sundry Improvements In the engine I went to New York and applied the power to a wheel In tho stern, by which the was Impelled at the rate of about five miles an hour. I Invited the attention of Chancellor Livingstone iid he, wltlu.

Judge Livingston, DfllrjawAjl Mr. Stevens and others' went with merln the boat from, the Ferry as far as Greenwich and back, and they exDressed trreat satis faction at her performance and wltl't the engine. Refused $7,000 Offer. "According to Captain Morey, Fulton and Livingston suggested changes In the arrangement of the machinery nnd the paddlewheels, which he effected. Livingston offered him $7000 for the patent right on the North Klvef and to Amboy but he refused It.

In June 1797, at Bordentown on the Delaware, he built a steamboat propelled by two wheels, one on each side. 'The he wrote, 'ran across the boat, with a crank In the middle, worked from the beam of the engine with a shackle bed (so called) which mode Is In Drln clple the same1 as that now used In the large steamboats. The boat was openly exnioiteu in Philadelphia. "Dr. B.

Allison, writing from Washington In 1799, corroborates Capt. Morey concerning the exhibition nt Bordentown and adds, 'It was only for want of public funds that we did not then bring the boat into public use. "Capt. Morey received patents for the application of steam to propel boats In 1795. 1799 and 1800.

The original (1795) Is in possession of the New Hampshire Historical Society In Concord. On March iu, issss, the People and Patriot of Con cord printed a list of resolutions from the Vermont Historical Society urging the erection of a monument to Capt. Morey as me ngntrui inventor of steam navlga lion. "Tho boat was sunk between 1820 and 1825, by filling It with stones In about eighteen feet of water, on a soft bottom in tne miust of very dense olekerel The sudden coolness exhibited toward Capt. Morey by Fulton nnd Livingston auer uiey had seen his plans worked out haunted his thoughts ever after.

He most bitterly blamed Fulton for secretly depriving him of his rights. Capt. Morey was a native of Connect cut. The or! glnal model of his first steamboat Is in the possession of Mrs. Klbbey, Lake iuorey, or was for years." Influence of a Mother's Love.

Wo often hear It said of mothers "Wliat If she could see her son as he really Is! She does not seem to see his faults." What an absurd Idea! Many times tne mother Is the only one who really does see and' know her son. be cause she sees him through the eyes of love, uinera may see only his faults, and so know nothing nt nil nf the bov 1IUU9UI1. Many, many times is ine mother's love, which refuses to see her son's faults, that saves her spn. If she looked upon him as others do and saw nothing but his faults there would be almost no hope for the Bon. The mother, from a heart of love, sees the good and emphasizes the good and so helps her If then he goes to the bad It Is not her (ault.

The surest way to drive him there Is to censure and to blame and to continually point out to him his faults. We may learn a great lesson from mothers, If we will, In our efforts to exert a' Christian Influence over our friends and fellow men. Tho only sure way to help them Is through love, to see In them the good and to emphasize that. This we may do If we will. One of the very worst Influences that can be brought to bear upon young people is for those who should be their friends to suspect them and distrust them and to try to detect them In some evil.

There Is perhaps nothing that will more quickly turn them from the good and drive them into the ways of evil. We must trust them and give them every assurance of our sympathy and our support In, their many struggles against evil temptations From sermon by Itev. Roy M. Houghton In Centre Congregational church. What Is there that makes us more ashamed than to have some one speak well of the one we have been criticising?
