on Charge Of Illegal
Selling
ALLEGED OWNERS HELD

States Attorney w. J. Meagher re-
turned last evening from Readsboro
where he went Tuesday afternoon to
take charge of the hearings in the
cases Of the four Austrians who were
held under bail as result of the big
raid made there Saturday night.
Two of the four Austrians who
were arrested at the time of the raid
were held and the other two were dis
charged In the two instances In
which there appeared to be sufficient
evidence to hold the respondents
the liquor found at their houses
was ordered destroyed In the other
cases the liquor was ordered returned
and the respondents we're discharged.
benjamin Lewis was held for the
grand jury in the sum of $500 bail
which was furnished by Dinigio Car
inolH. At Lewis house were found
four jugs Of wine, between 30 and 40
bottles of wine, 20 quarts of whiskey,
four cases of beer, five kegs OF lager,
one barrel of wine and two baskets of
bottled wine.
At the home of John Spada, who
NdS uelu uuueT 9OOU Dali lOF the
grand jury which was also furnished
by Carinolli were found three kegs of
beer, two cases of beer, eight quarts
of whiskey and between 25 and. 80
bottles of wine.
The liquor seized at the home of
Lewis and Spada was ordered des-
troyed and the splitting was in pro-
gress when the states attorney left
town.
The small quantities Of beer and
wine secured at the house of MARITIME
Maroni and Rudolph Perrin were Or
dered returned to the alleged owners.
The respondents were represented by
Attorney p. J. Ashe of North Adams.
Three kegs of beer and some wine
were found at the house of Maroni
and two kegs Of beer and some bottl-
ed wine at the house of Perrin. AS
the Austrians regularly drink wine
and beer with their meals instead OF
tea and coffee the quantity seized was
none too large for personal uses.

have 81 AGA f1c rati.i3n Tie Board
of License Commlssi .ers, which is
being circulated by Mr.. L. ]. Hall, for
a thirdclass or restaurant license
without fully understanding what is
involved in this matter. The state
ment made in yesterdays paper over
the names of all our Catholic and
Protestant clergy, representing large
constituencies, is based on a somewhat
intimate knowledge Of certain social
conditions here in Bennington that
are bad and are becoming more de-
moralizing. 1t seems to be plaus-
ibe argument on the face of it that
Bennington needs a first class res
taurant, and that beer and wine to be
sold with meals would be less hurtful
to temperance interests than another
saloon. But with circumstances as
they are locally that would not be the
situation. OF course it Is within the
option of the commissioners whether
they grant any new license at all II
they decide not to, in the judgment OF
the writer they would be sustained
by a large majority of our citizens. In
any case the particular kind of of
Tense proposed should not be permitted
to gain foothold here. For it would
prove to be just t hat-an offense.
1t is time there was plain speaking
in public in respect to certain things
that are not usually mentioned out
loud. A place, however exclusive and
high-class it might be advertised to
be- and however honest the intentions
&C its proprietor might be, where men
and women might drink together UNI
der the restaurant cover, and young
men and girls, would be as demoraliz-
ing and damning an institution in
the subtle influence of it, in the GER
tain and constant peril of 1t, and in
he final outcome Of it, as any institu-
ton permitted by law. 1t is not in
point to cite the instance of a respec-
table and popular restaurant in some
larger place than Bennington. We
are confronted with some very def
mite distressing conditions here and
not theory. To resolve the propos-
ed restaurant into a make-shift hotel,
in order to have the license granted
without doubt as to the legal ques-
ton, would tend to make the situation

SUMMARY OF GAME LAWS
Department Issues Pamphlet Compil
ed BY Harry Chase Of Bennington


John w. Titcomb of Lyondonville,
state fish and game commissioner,
has issued for the convenience of
the sportsmen of the state a pam
phlet containing the complete fish
and game laws of Vermont conyen-
iently indexed, which viii be distrib-
uted among persons applying for
hunters licenses this year. Forty
thousand of the booklets have been
printed and every town clerk in the
state will receive a supply.
Mr.. Titcomb is also issuing a larg-
er pamphlet, compiled by Warden
Harry Chase of Bennington giving a
general summary of the laws relating
to fish and game. This was done
with view to making it plain to
sportsmen just when the fishing and
shooting seasons in Vermont open
and close as there are a good many
conflicting laws on the subject.
The commissioner has had 10000 Of
the small pamphlets printed and is
arranging to have a copy presented to
each applicant for hunters license.
The compilation of the game laws
is the most OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
yet issued by the department, says
the commissioner. Special pains
were taken with the index. Where
conflicting laws occur an explanatory
statement accompanies the law

When it was fully decided to re-
place the bridge, the city council
was persuaded by the county at
torney to Appropriate $4,000 with
the agreement that they would re-
ceive first class bridge, and the
understanding that they would have
a credon floor instead of ordinary
plank. This floor being composed of
cedar blocks soaked in oil, and be-
ing practically imperishable, will
cost less to maintain.
However, instead of asking for
bids on a credon floor the commits
sioners asked merely for an ordinary
plank floor. The council instructed
the city attorney to investigate the
matter at once. and every thing
will be done to secure the best
bridge possible. the only difficulty
lying Is the fact that the thoughtful
city council did not have the agree
