not hurt. The shooting and the
screams of the children created wild
excitement in one of Chicago's fashion
able residence quarters.
Made curious by the mans peculiar
actions about the church, Father Field
ing asked him: "What are you doing
here?"
'T'm praying" replied the stranger.
As the priest turned his back the
stranger drew revolver, Father Field
ing knocked the weapon away in time
to escape bullet which grazed his head
and clipped lock of hair from his tenn

prit down. Scrambing to his feet the
man ran down the hallawy pushing
and trampling over many children AT
the bottom Of the stairway he turned
and fred another shot at the priest
and then still brandishing the reyol-
yer ran down the street. Children and

Made Bold Break Into Post
Office To-day
BUT GOT LESS THEN SlOO
Landlord Hayward of the Randolph Inn
Was Sleeping in Room Just Over
the Post Office, and He Heard
the Explosion.

Randolph, Oct. l9--The Randolph
post Office was burglarized early this
morning, the ROBBERS securing less than
500 worth of money and stamps. AL.
though Landlord Hayward of the Ran.
dolph Inn which is in the same build.
ing, was awakened by the explosion
when the burglars broke open the safe
the men escaped, leaving no clew.
1t was half past one o'clock when
Mr.. Hayward heard the explosion direct
ly under his sleepingroom. He looked
out the window but could not see any
one about. The night was very dark and
the street lights were not in use, which
rendered il impossible to distinguish per-
sons. An examination OF the post office
this morning showed that the burglars
had entered the Office by the front door
by prying it open. Then they crawled
through the money order window into
the inner Office, wnere the safe was To-
Gated.
The door OF the safe was blown COM
pletely of, but the room was not serious
ly damaged by the explosion, although
some of the plastering was knocked Off
The burglars did not get much for their
efforts, as there was little in the safe.
That the burglary was the work of a
bold gang is likely, since the post Office
is located in one Of the most prominent
locations in the village, opposite the
railroad station and in the same build
ing with the Randolph Inn. 1t may have
been the same gang which robbed the
store of Juan Robinson and the post
office in South Hero on Friday night.

makers, pulp, sulphite and paper mill
workers. the papermakers of the Ber-
lin mills company decided 10 report

The meeting between Pres Carey and

the men Of the mills Of the Interna.
tional paper company, IL being alleged
that the Berlin mills, which is an in
dependent concern, was furnishing
stock for the international paper com.
pany.
The Berlin mills company promptly
denied this and the men refused TO
strike. At the meetings between Prs.
Carey and the union officials today
AIR Carey repeated his statements. but
the union men, who expressed satisfac-
tion with their conditions, said they
would not go out on hearsay evidence
and must have conclusive proof that
their mill was supplying the Interna.
tional company.

its men that its books are open for

Bar. HoLLIsTER,s sTATEMENT
Regarding What Took Place at Rutland
Convention.

Editor of the Times: On my return
from Rutland Saturday night, read
your article on the athletic situation
! think the public ought to know few
facts. From the day when the charges
of professionalism were first brought
against Goddard on the 2lst of Septem
ber, | have done what could to prove
them true or false. determined tc
have the athletic committee Of the
Schoolmasters' club act upon them
When reached Rutland / resigned from
that committee in order that full com,
mittee might act upon the charges
When the committee met | made thi;
request Of DR.. Bishop. IF you have a
charge that you think you can prove
or If you have a charge that you desire
to attempt to prove, want You to make
t he charge here and let this committee
decide whether they think it true OF
false He made no charge whatever, as
the report Of the committee published
in your paper of Saturday states
consider that DIR. Bishop, by his refusal
to present his so-called charges to this
committee, acknowledges that he never
had any grounds for making them.
-Four years ago last April, after much
discussion and joint meetings of commit
tees from the athletic associations Of
Goddard and Montpelier seminary, regu.
lations governing athletics were adopted
by the two schools. One Of the articles
read as follows ''No student living at
home who receives a scholarship shall be
eligible to- any team During these
AZ
lation strictly.
When we met in Montpelier, Sept. 2s,
DIR. Bishop told me in the presence OF
the teachers of Montpelier high school,
that he never knew OF the existence of
any such regulations. He told me at
Rutland in the presence of the athletic
committee that he had recently given a
scholarship to member Of an athletic
team living at home. After considerable
discussion on this subject, the principals
of the two Montpelier schools and the
two Barre schools signed an agreement
that no day student who receives any
reduction in his tuition shall be allowed
to represent his school on any athletic
team.
The athletic committee of the School
masters club made the following recon-
mendations at the business meeting in
Rutland:
Principals of all schools having ath-
letie teams should try to secure for
games officials who are competent and
fair.
Principals should in all cases when
rumors come to them affecting the honor
of other schools as to athletics, try to
get at the facts, remembering the ten
deney Of some boys to talk in an ex-
way.
"The committee urges upon principals
the need Of great care in relation to in
athletics. Their purity de-
pends in the last analysis not upon rules,
but upon the men who apply them"
These recommendations are TO be print
ed and sent to each member OF the
Schoolmasters' club.

COURSE OF TRUE LOVE
RUNS NOT SMOOTHLY
Duke of Abruzzi Recalls His Statement
of Broken Engagement to American
Woman. Will Marry Her If He
is Expatriated.

Rome, Oct. 19.--It was officially an
nonced today that the Abruzzi; Elkins
engagement il not broken. The reason
for the many conflicting stories last
Friday was that the king told the duke
that unless he could obtain the consent
of his brothers, the Duke Of Aosta and
Count Turin and Dowager Queen Mar
garieta the wedding would not be per-
mitted, realizing the hopelessness of
these conditions the duke reluctantly
announced that the engagement was
broken, but within few hours he was
so overwhelmed with grief that he told
the king he would continue the suit
even if it involved expatriation.
Believing that Abruzzi would keep
his word the king finally gave his con-
sent. The erisic arose and passed so
quickly that the royal household deem
it advisable to deny any breach Of the
engagement had occurred.

the vicinity of the lake were threatened.

OFFICERS SUSPICIOUS
OF WOMAN'S GOWN
They Had a Woman Attendant Search
Mrs. canales and She Found Ten
Bottles Of Whiskey Under
neath,


II II had been the hoopsklrt period,
Sheriff Tracy and the Montpelier police
would not perhaps have noticed the cut
OF Mrs, NJ. Canales skirt when they
went TO visit her house on Barre street,
Montpelier, on Saturday evening; but
being as ii was the day Of the tight.ft-
ting directoire gown, they were some
what suspicious OF the expanse OF Mrs.
Canales' garment. Suspicious proved
justified for when the woman was search
ed by female attendant at the county
Jail, ten full pint bottles of whiskey were
found sewed into her petticoat and sus-
pended from her waist by an ingenious
arrangement.
That wasn't all. The officials went
out into Mrs. Canales' backyard and
found eight quarts of whiskey wrapped
in a bransack and concealed in heap
of manure. Sheriff Tracy was assisted
in this search by Deputies Lawson and
Harmon and Chief Durkee and Patrolman
Conners.
Nor was that the only raid of the
evening. The officers also went to the
residence OF Mrs. Sadie Cochran and were
surprised not to find any visitors. They
could not find any liquor, either Mrs.
Cochran kindly turned on the phono-
graph and then invited the officers to
search thoroughly. That done, she con-
tinued her hospitality by inviting the
officers TO come at any and all times.
Mrs. Canales, when arraigned in Mont
pelier court this morning, surprised the
state by pleading guilty TO keeping and
selling liquor and. was sentenced TO the
house of correction for not less than nine
and not more than ten months. Had she
taken the case to county court, States
Attorney Gates was prepared to file an
information against her.
Three men were arraigned for intoxi-
cation in the same court to-day. James
Coggns pleaded guilty and paid Sl3l0,
while Joseph Goodnature, who also plead
ed guilty, went to Jail for 20 days. viii.
liam Burke pleaded guilty likewise and
