MANY VERMONT
bR|OEGROOMS ARE
LIABLE To A FINE

Burlington. VT, Dec. 4--Young men OF
this city who have taken wives outside
the state within the last two years are
alleged TO have neglected TO comply with
certain provision of the Vermont stat
utes and are therefore liable to fine OF
SIC each.
City Clerk M. ID. Mcmahon has compiled
list OF bridegrooms who have come back
her TO reside after their honeymoon and
has sent out notices calling attention 10
their delinquency. The Vermont statutes
covering the matter reads as follows: "Is
male resident OF this state is married
without the state he shall within 60 days
deposit with the clerk OF the town COR
cltY where he resides certificate en-
bracing the statistics required by law in
marriage certificates and upon failure TO
do so shall be fined not less than $40"
The city clerk says young married men
nave been too prone TO neglect compliance
with this provision and that some OF them
have been liable TO a fine for more tina
a year. while others have only Just passed
the 60 day limit
He does not intend TO begin immediate
proceedings looking TO the imposition OF
fines, but he hopes the notice he has is
sued will be sufficient TO bring about COM
pliance with the law

Washington, Dec. n--Declaring that I'm
the design OF vessels OF the battle fleet,
the space and weight assigned to ammu-
milton have been SO restricted that the
ammunition on board under certain con-
ditions OF battle, would be expended in
less than an hour.
Rear Admiral n Il. Mason, chief OF
the bureau OF ordinance, in HIS annual re-
port urges the building OF two vessels OF
considerable size, one on the Atlantic and
one on the Pacific coast, devoted exclu-
siVely 10 the carrying of ammunition, and
he states that ultimately there should be
one OF these vessels with each fleet. They
should b. so fitted with appliances for as
sembiing and breaking down ammunition
that they might serve To as great a de-
gree as possible as floating magazines.

expectation that such an explosive can

The close relationship with the ordnance

and In this connection. Admiral Mason
regards IL as very desirable that the ma

along this line

RUN ON BANK At

STARTED TO-DAY

Middleton, Conn, Dec. I--A run of con-
siderable proportions on the Columbia
Trust company. which under its charter
does both a national and savings depart
ment business, began today. President
Eugene III. Burr issued a statement at
noon TO the effect that the company would
pay all deposttors in full and with inter
est due them, and that there was no
danger OF interruption of business.
The cause of the run so far as can be
learned Is due to reports that the bank
had changed hands. In regard to this
President Burr say that the October
semi-annual dividend was passed for bust
ness seasons and that considerable of the
stock had gone 10 New York parties, who
irtended to increase the capital

savings department and those asking for
their money are mostly women
