SUPREME COURT HEARS
LICENSE LAW TEST
State VS.. Constantine Of Hardwick Ar
gued Before It Yesterday
Afternoon.

Montpelier, NOV. 14.-The test case,
state VS.. G Constantine OF Hardwlck, on
the coustitutiOuality Of the license law.
was argued in supreme court yesterday
afternoon
The defence bases it's arguments on the
failure OF Section 68 Of the acts Of 1902 to
state a maximum fine Section 83 Of said
act says: "The fine shall not be less than
$500, or Imprisonment not less than three
nor more than twelve months" The pen
atty imposed, if it is imprisonment, is
limited but Il a fine 1t it Is unlimited Sse
tlons 68, 09, 70, 73, "a all make the PEN
atty, If a tine, unlimited. Therefore they
insist that the legislature Of 1902 failed to
keep within its constitutional limit In the
passage Of this section 0S without putting
q limit upon the extent Of the fine to be
imposed and the section Is forbidden by
the Constitution.
The defense had not been able to find
any state that has statue where the pen
atty for any offence is left without any
limit 70 the punishment that may be inn
posed BY the court. 1t was also argued
that according to section 6s Of the statue
which fixes the penalty Tor furnishing
selling, exposing o. keeping for sale the
same $500 minimum they would not claim
fine Of $500 for liquors excessive, but
claimed it would be excessive for some
kinds Of furnishing and for keeping for
sale II not any sale or for exposing. They
also argued a wrong Indictment.
The state claimed that the Supreme
Court has no right to declare an act un-
constitutional where any fine IS imposed
unless it Is 50 excessive that 1t shocks the
sense Of mankind and that the fine ID the
present case was not excessive when the
magnitude Of the offense is taken into sc.
count States Attorney Morse and B. f.
Billiard Of Hardwick, who conducted the
case for the state, cited numerous cases
from other states where no maximum
penalty Is imposed and where the acts
have been declared constitutional by The
courts
The state also argued, supporting their
arguments with numerous authorities that
the prohibition In the United States e0n-
stiutlon against excessive fined does not
apply TO state governments and that sta
tute imposing fine need not prescribe a
maximum amount Such is not the impo-
sition bY the legislature Of an excessive
6ne. The state also argued that no specific
defect having been pointed out ia the
county court it failed to see how the suitic-
iency Of the complaint was really Ia Ques-
tion before Supreme Court
Supreme Court took recess In the after
noon until Tuesday morning at nine

Miss Amelia Vochini of
Second Street.
CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE
Poison Was Taken II Days Ago Bot
Death Did Not Result Until
This Morning.

Miss Amelia Voehinl, the 16-years-oId
daughter Of Joseph N0chini Of Second
street, died this morning Ia violent pain,
from corrosive subllmate poisoning. The
poison was self administered twelve days
ago and the reason that the act did not
result in immediate death Is probably
due to the fact that violent vomiting fol-
lowed the swallowing Of the poison. The
girl said that she swallowed it BY mistake.
DR. j. =. McSweeney was the first ply
stefan called and later DR.. J. S. Deziel
and DR., J Henry jackson were snmmnn-
ed, After the gri was worked over some
time she was declared to be out OF danger
Since that time she had been quite III and
was thought to be on the road TO recovery.
Last night, however, she grew worse rap
idly, and the end came at 3 O'Clock this
morning,
The death is particularly sad as the girl
was very popular with her associates, Of
sunny disposition. a member Of thet
family said that recently she had LOSE
some Of her usual cheerfulness No oaus
Is assigned for this aud the relatives aud
friends are not inclined to the belief that
the girl took the poison with intent 70 kill
herself.
The poison was left for the young lady
some time ago by Dr. Molinelli who eau
toned her that it was deadly poison
Miss Nochin With her father, Joseph
Vochini, came to Barre from Carrara, Ifa-
II, where she was born, about two years
ago, On the death Of her mother Since
coming here she has been the housekeeper
for her father and brother, Emilio Yochi-
mi. The latter IS the man who narrowly
escaped being shot at the recent disturb-
anee on Granite street, between the anar.
ehisss and socialists, IN which ELI Corti
was mortally wounded The revolver shot
passed between Mr. Voehins arm and
body, lust cutting the eloting
The funeral Of the girl will be held to-
morrow forenoon at ~ o'el0ck and the I'M
teFment win be in Hope cemetery.

ing ITO see If the legal voters Of the CITY
of Barre win vote TO pay WI G. Quinlen
bis claim for taxes unjustly and Illegally
collected from him for the years 1899, 1900,
1901, 1902 "
The Quinlen block was assessed for
$4,000, in 1890, which Mr. Quinlen claim
ed was too much 4 reduction OF ST 600
was made By the board Of civil authority
but Mr. Quinlen thought it should be re-
duced 81 coo, as he claims an error was
made BY the assessors.
He has taken this matter before the
board Of civil authority three times which
decided against him each time he then
took the matter before the city council
which decided it had noiurisdietion.
Now he is to take Il before the city
meeting and try to haye the taxes paid

tions, which the voters viii be asked to
