Goes Further Than Roosevelt.


Mr.. Townsend, when asked his opinion
Of the message. recalled remark which
Roosevelt once made to hin-that Taft
would carry out the Roosevelt policies.
This message which VIC have just
heard said Mr.. Townsend, 'shows that
President Taft has gone as far as Roosc-
Welt would ever have thought of going
and in fact. farther than he ever did
GO
Naturally, Mr. Townsend Is highly
pleased with the message, as 1t enfbodteS
views he has long held in regard to pro-
tecting the rights of shippers.
Chairman Mann of the House commit
tee on interstate and foreign commerce
the canny, cautious Mr.. Mann-had this
to say:
1.-THE message is strong one. and
presents the views of the President with
strength and lucidity."
The fact that Mr.. Mann's committee
will have to handle the problems put for
ward by the President debarred him from
d. discussing their merits at this time.

Basis Of His Business.
Mr. Merrick says his business depends
entirely on the question OF supply and de-
mand. That the Greeks are something of
a factor in the food supply business of
Washington is admitted by the commits
sion merchants. but they add that the
Greeks do not affect the regular commits
sion business. They compete with the re-
tail grocers. buying. most of the time
from the Washington commission mer-
chants.
One of the most interesting features of
the food supply quest on in Washington is
the increase during the past five years of
the number of Greek and Italian buck
sters. While five years ago most of
them were carrying fruit around town in
push carts and wagons, today nearly
every one of them carries line of vege-
tables.
Several Greek merchants control all the
Greek hucksters. there being very few of
those who drive wagons who own their
business. Like the shoe-shining shops
and hurdygurdes they are employees of
large concerns.

Members Cautious In Comment.

Members of the House are inclined for
he most part to be reserved in their COM
ments upon the message, due to the fact
that some of the Presidents Recommended
tions carried new and, in measure, rad
ical suggestions. They would like to
study the Presidents arguments and logic
before committing themselves upon the
various propositions he presented.
While the suggestion of authorizing the
licensing of interstate commerce corpora

A Common-Law Offense.

Justice Wright held that as the keep
ing of a d sorderly house is common
law offense Of nuisance, it Is retained as
punishable crime by section ! of the
code. AS no express provision is made
in the code for it's punishment the court
held that section 80 must be looked to
for the punishment. Section 910. how
ever, prov DIES that crimes under it sha
be punishable hy fine not exceeding
81 coo, or Imprisonment for not more than
five years, or both.
From this the court argued that. the
keeping of a disorderly house being pun
ishable by term of impris nment for
more than one year, it fell under section
a34 of the code, which declares that all
crimes SO punishable shall be tried in the
District Supreme Court.
The government claimed that section
9lO does not apply to petty common law
offenses punishable by Jail sentences
alone. Attorneys John Ridout and Camp
bell Darlington represent Lenovitz.
Will Appeal Case.
The government will now submit the
case to the Court of Appeals of the Dis
trict. Upon the decision of the Court OF
Appeals in this case will rest the right
of the Police Court to jurisdiction in all
disorderlv house cases in the District
and also in cases of ARRAYS or other of
lenses against the common law.
Assistant United States Attorney Ralph
Given. who had charge of the govern
ments cases in the United States branch
OF the Police Court. said this morning
that if the Court of Appeals sustained
Justice Wrights decision in the Lenovitz
case 1t would mean that he would have
to hold all prisoners arrested and brought
into court in disorderly house cases and
other offenses under the common law
which have hitherto been tried in the
Police Court for the grand jury. Dis
orderly house cases have for many years
been tried and disposed Of in the Police
Court.
May Get New Trial.
If the Court Of Appeals sustains JUS
tice Wright in his decision that the Po-
lice Court had no jurisdiction in the Len
ovitz case. the government will then bring
the Lenovitz case into the Supreme Court
Of the District and endeavor to convict
him there In that event the trial in
the Police Court will be considered never
to have taken place and the case will be
fought all over again.

genuine nature.

Power House Wrecked.

The electric power house of the Bur-
lington FIGURING Company situated near
Winooski on the Winooski river, was
practically wrecked Thursday morning
when the large fly wheel, located in the
basement, burst, the flying pieces tear
ing their way through two floors of the
building to the top floor, badly damaging
the regulator and moving it about two
feet from its foundation. Two water
wheels were wrecked, other valuable
machinery was damaged and the build
ing honeycombed. The damage is estl-
mated at $4,000.
The fly wheel which broke weighed
2500 pounds, was seven and a half feet in
diameter and had a four and half foot
race.
The street cars have been obtaining
their power from this plant and for three
hours they were out of commission, until
other arrangements could be made.

lasts, with an intermission for rest and
refreshment. until nearly 6. 1t is made
up of IS acts, some of them composed of
several scenes, and each act is prefaced
first by prologue spoken by the leader
of the chorus then by the chorus itself,
and finally by one or two tableaux vivants.
The first to appear on the stage are
members of the chorus, who are known
as guardian angels or spirits. They are
dressed in simple vari-colored gowns COW
cred with white tunics edged with gold
fringe and colored nantes. They enter
gracefully and reverently, their hands
crossed on their breasts. forming half
circle across the front of the stage. The
leader, known as Chorague, comes for
ward and pronounces the prologue, which
explains the object of the entire produc-
ton to come. The chorus enlarges upon
the same idea in chant, and, finally sep
arates into two divisions to reveal the
first tableau.

AT THE MORRISVILLE CHURCHES
Universalist

The service at the Universalst church
was very we'll attended. 1t was the last
Sunday before vacation. Services will
be resumed the first Sabbath in Septem-
Der. The pastor preached forceful
sermon on the subject: The Home and
The Altar" The text was taken from
Genesis, Chap. 26. VS., rs. He said in
part: The family is the vital unit in our
national life. Its perpetuation is the
olly guarantee of political virility and
prosperity. III fares that land where
the dwelling places of her constituency
are infested by the adultrous practices
of the vile and the apostate. Rome tot
tered and fell in hopeless decay when
she prostituted her family life. To defy
gold and forsake the affairs of piety por-
tends inevitably national doom. In
temperance, divorce, subtle materialism,
restlessness, impiety are the frightful
characters that constitute the self-same
hand writing which was ominous of the
downfall of Babylon, accompanied the
destruction of Greece and Rome, and is
rapidly becoming leglble on the walls OF
our American homes. The safeguard OF
our homes is invested in the power
welded by the altar of religion.

The service of the morning hour was
very well attended last Sunday as was
also the Sunday school. "Chains broken"
was the title of the hymn, sung as a solo
by Miss Grace Prior. The pastors SUBJ

first chapter was the foundation for the
sermon.
Zephaniah was a descendent of Heze-
kiah and contemporary of jeremiah. $50
b. c. He was fearless man of God,
denouncing sin wherever found. His
prophecy has been divided by some into
two sections and each of these into three
subdivisions. He was a preacher of
salvation and of judgment. He foretold
time of peace and restoration which
was fulfilled in the days of Nehemiah.

The most exciting convention for years

cans held in Newport Wednesday with
all delegates present. There were two
contests for county offices. The result
of the first ballot in the contest for Judge
of Probate was: Frank e. Alfred, so:
Frank e. Miles, "a; giving Alfred 10
votes over Miles and seven majority.
The contest for Sheriff required l6 bal
lots to secure nomination. The two
leading candidates for this Office were
several times on the point of winning
when the ballot would show an entirely
different position. In'the 14th and 18th
ballots it was discovered that there were
more ballots than delegates and the
chairman ordered the delegates to be
seated and the secretary called the roll.
After the roll J. H. Lewis of Troy with

had 43 to 80 for Erastus Buck, 43 being
