Six "Lv Trains Ran over Girl.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-In the midst
Of the homeward crush on the uptown
elevated railroad station a young wo-
man who had tried to board a train
was carried half block clnging to the
closed gate, then fell to the rails and
was run over by six trains before the
police managed TO get motorman to
stop and take the body TO station far
ther up town. The elevated railroad
employees at the station and on the
trains maintained that they knew moth
ing Of the matter, and the police were
unable to identify either the number of
the train, the men in charge of it or
those on the platform at the time and
consequently were not able to make
any arrests. The body of the girl was
not identified.

THE LAW
HELD VALID
The Supreme Court Decides
Law Constitutional.
A CALEDONIA co. CASE
Point Was over the Laws Pro-
vidins No Maximum and
Minimum Penalties.

Montpelier, Jan. 26:-The supreme
court came in at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing, all the judges being present but
Judge Loveland Munson, who was de-
tanned by his duties in Windsor county
court.
Additional interest was given the
opening session by the announcement
of the yerd lct OF the court in a Gale
donis county liquor case which de-
clares the present cense-local-option
liquor law 10 be constitutional. The
opinion was read by Chief Judge John
w. Rowell,
The case was that OF State VS. G.
Constantine, for furnishing liquor con-
trary 10 law, aud was before :he court
on demurrer. The respondent
claimed that the law was unconstitu-
ional and the question was brought
before the supreme court for a pro-
torma ruling.
Section 6s of the liquor law provides
that person who sells intoxicating
liquors without a license shall be fined
not less than $500 or imprisoned
not less than three or more than II
months, or both, in the discretion of
the court. The respondent claimed
that this section was unconstitutional
because il provided no maximum
penalty and fixed the minimum pen
atty so high that the court could not
use its discretion in the matter.
The court held that the matter OF
fines being fixed according to the Of
fence was a question that the legis-
lature might settle as we'll as court.
1t also held that the minimum fine
was not excessive, that the failure to
provide a maximum penalty was un-
important, and that the law was con-
stitutional. Pro forma judgement is
adverse 70 the respondent and cause
remanded.

FIGHT OR
BACK DOWN
Japan's Note to Russia Re-
quire's Quick Answer.
AT HIGHEST TENSION
Apparent that Decisive Action
Must Be Taken without
Delay.
AT HIGHEST TENSION

TOKYO, Jan. 27.-The japanese gov
ernment has automatically intimated
to Baron de Rosen, the Russian minis
ter, that an early response is desired
to Japan's recent note to Russia. 1t Is
calculated here that the japanese note
reached the Russian cabinet ON Jan. 16,
and it is felt that sufficient time has
elapsed for its consideration and the
preparation of a response.
The japanese government is con,
sciOus of the possible necessities of the
military and naval situation and Is un.
willing to permit evasions and delays
which are designed to gain time. The
future course of the japanese govern.
ment is a carefully guarded secret
The length of time that Japan is pre-
pared to await the pleasure of Russia
is unknown. 1t seems probable that it
has been determined to act decisively
within a few days. The popular tenn
per has long opposed further delay.
While many objected TO Japan's TAX
ing the initiative a majority would
now welcome the issuance of a brief ul-
timatum and declaration of war, if
that should prove ineffective. Some
outside opinion here incIines to the be-
lief that the activity Of the japanese
will be limited to the seizure of Korea.
which enterprise, it is thought, Russia
would not oppose. The japanese gov
ernment proceeds with absolute secre-
cy, and the people of Japan are not
even informed of the exact nature Of
the demands made on Russia.
A telegram received from New
chwang says the magistrate at Kin
choufu, Manchuria, has received in
structions to accommodate seventy Cos
sacks who have been sent there as a
guard by the Russian military authori-
ties.

Found Guilty in the Second
Degree.
KILLED EPHRlAM ROOT
Jury Came in Today at II O'clock
after Being cut Twenty
four Hours.

Woodstock, Jan. 27;-The jury in
the Bean murder case came in at 1I:lO
today, after being out almost "a hours
and rendered a verdict Of guilty of
murder in the second degree.
The counsel of Joseph Bean, she re-
spondent, has filed large number of
exceptions, and the case will go to
the supreme court.
The closing argument for the state
was made yesterday by j. G. Sargent
Judge Munson then charged the jury,
who retired at 12:37. Mr. Sargont's
argument took up most OF the morning
session, 1t had been the hole effort
of the respondents counsel he said,
to befog the issue and avoid vital
points in the case. The evidence from
the beginning was reviewed. He
dwelt on the state Of mind OF the re-
spondent as shown by testimony.
The attempt to prove an alibi, eoun-
sell admitted was absurd, while the
bloody knife, footprints and shoes
that fitted them, fxed the crime on the
respondent beyond reasonable doubt.
In the charge to the jury, Judge
Munson said there were three verdicts
allowable under indictment, either
guilty of murder in the first degree,
second degree or acquittal.

"Barber As an auditor that audi

men are not always popular with those

of the state coat of arms, but they win
the commendation OF thoughtful citi-
Gems who appreciate the value OF such

Barber deserved the governorship in
1902, II it was to be placed in Benning-

votes for the candidate whose chief
lieutenant he was ON the strength of
