fEAMSTERS' UNION.
Reports SHOW discrepancies in Amount
of Money Received and Paid out.

The teamsters union of this city is hay
ing trouble we'll as The federal union,
If stories told by members are any in
dications of disturbance. 1t is said that
the trouble in the Transfers union began
last January, when the reports for the
past year were read. 1t is claimed that
the report of the financial standing show
ed the receipts to have been S55433 and
the expenditures to have been Sj9I.32, or
$3.50 more than had been taken in. This
aroused the curiosity of some of the mem
bers, who thought if so much more mon
ey had been spent than had been taken
in more money might have been paid than
had been accounted for
This led to Investigations by some
members and it is claimed that tho gen
eral expenses should have been set up in
the report as co, making the expenses
Sli634 in excess of what was taken in.
But, despite this fact, the report showed
that there was ON hand 1920 and de-
post in the bank of $l5S.22 The discus
sion Of the affair created division
among the members and it is claimed
that the membership has fallen off about
loo in the last few weeks. Further
alleGa tons are that the officers Of the
union are not Transfers at all but that
one is a bartender another a ditch digger
and another n contractor. 1t is not likely
that any legal fight will be entered into
between the members of the union.

TESTIMONY INTRODUCED.
Case for Alleged Violation Of License
Law by W. u. Craven Begun.

w y. Craven, proprietor of the
Waldorf cafe appeared before the
board of license commissioners Thurs
day morning to answer to charges
against him brought for alleged sell
ing to minors and violations OF the
anti-treating clause of the license law
Mr. Craven asked for n continuance
on the grounds that his attorney j.
f.. Cushman. was out of the city, but
witnesses were ready and the commits
sioners decided to have them testify
and give MIR. Craven an opportunity
to cross-cxaminc them Saturday morn
ing
The charges against Mr. Craven
grew out of a case of intoxication
brought against James Rankin, n SOL
der from Fort Ethan Allen. When in
city court Rankin testified that he was
only 90 years old and that he got
liquor at Mr.. Craven's saloon. He told
the court that he had about eight
drinks. all of which is certified by the
court records.
Thursday before the commissioners
he changed his statement and despite
the fact that he was closely questioned
by Il. l.. Grown, who represented the
city, his answers were evasive and 1T
was only after much questioning that
he finally admitted that he did have
something to drink in Burlington and
cause he was in no other saloon.
Rankin said that he and another
soldier w. j. Downs, left the post af-
ter tho last pay day and went to WI
nooski. He said they stopped at a
saloon in Wnooski on the right hand
side Of the road coming from the post
and had several drinks. When asked
whose saloon it was he replied that
he did not know. He was asked If It
was Gokeys and he replied that he
did not know, but that the proprietor
was big man. He said 1T was the
only saloon on that side Of the street
While under examination Rankin said
that he did not tell Judge Hawkins
that he had any liquor at Craven 5
but that he did say he was in his place
He said he was too drunk when he
went to the Waldorf to remember
whether or not he had drink. During
| his testimony Attorney Brown remind
| ed him that he was under oath.
After Attorney Brown had finished
his questions Chairman Davis, of the
| board of commissioners, asked Rankin
| if any one had said anything to him
about the case within the past few
| davs or since the trial in court ant
Rankin replied that he had not beer
| approached.
Downs was sworn after Rankin fin
ished He did not remember whether
or not Rankin took drink because
| there was large crowd of soldier:
| in the saloon and they were all treat t.
! ing. He said that nearly every soldier
! in the crowd treated at least once be-
fore he left the saloon.
Downss testimony completed the
hearing and an adjournment was taker
until Saturday morning at ten O'Clock.

ANOTHER DOG CASE.

which no license had been paid in Burling-
ton Mr.. Fine learned that Mr.. !lamlin
