DAVIS CASE BEING
 INVESTIGATED


 The charges against c. W. Davis, the
 wholesale liquor dealer whose license
 was revoked July by the excise cont
 mission because of alleged violations of the liquor law, are now under in-
 vestiga ton by federal authorities and
 the chief deputy collector of revenue, W. F. Hooper, is busily securing the necessary evidence 10 give the case over to United States District Attorney N. l.. Steele.
 MT. Steele said: T have nothing of interest to say on the Davis case: the matter is entirely in the hands Of the office of the United States collector of revenue. where I understand Chief Deputy Collector Hooper is gathering the evidence in this case. When ready fl will no doubt be submitted to me and I will take whatever action the evidence submitted demands. The fed eral authorities are not showing un . usual activity in this case but simply Investigating these charges along with many other alleged infractions of the federal statutes"

If the term in the treaty. ..all nations observing these rules" includes the United States -and as said above it is hard to see how the rules could be observed without our observance of .them-then by giving our own ships free use of the canal. we would be violating our treaty obliga- tion in discriminating against all other nations.

 As long as we maintain our willing ness to arbtrate the controversy. just so long will we hold the inconsistent position of emphasizing the fact that there Is more than ''tiapdoode' in the talk. N
 Without speculating at present about any international difficulties which a dis regard of our treaty obligations might thrust upon us. the talk of national dis honor is. the present subject for serious consideration.

Mexico City, Oct. 21.-The United

Gen Diaz then visited the Des Moines

leader of the new revolt had long
conference, the nature of which has
not been divulged While the Diaz
revolutionists hold the city and the
federals have taken up positions on

"THE PEACE MOVEMENT"
Discussed by Pres. Chas. n. Spooner
at FortnightIy

On Saturday afternoon, under the
auspices of the Social Science Com
mittee of the Fortnightly club, Pres
dent Charles H. Spooner of North
field gave an instructive address upon
The Peace Movement.
He outlined the historical develop
ment of arbitration treaties and Amer
ica's part in them and he told inter-
estingly of the various societies or
ganized to promote international
peace, especially emphasizing the uni
versatility of the Mohonk Conferences,
where distinguished people from all
nations gather yearly TO discuss
world peace.
He closed by stating that Vermont
had recently joined this worldwide
movement by organizing a Peace So
ciety for the purpose of education,
through the distribution of literature
and other united efforts; the fee for a
society or individual being one dollar
yearly
1t may not be out of order to quote
the following verses from the late
peace prophet, Ernest Howard Cros'
by:
Peace, o Peace, when will the nation
List its eyes and understand
How thou holdest all creation
In the hollow of thy hand?
Teach us, while the battle RACES,
What we never understood:
This the mystery of the ages
Evil overcome by good.
Far above the storms and thunders,
Far above the war and strife,
Far above our sins and blunders,
At the source of strength and life
There | see thy hand commanding
With the olive branch for rod,
Peace, that passest understanding!

JAMASON AID ATS
THAT He HAS TOO
MANY WIVES
Is Son of Well.known Vermont
Newspaper Publisher
IN CONNECTICUT COURT
Young Man Says He Can't Help Fall
ing in Love with Pretty
Girls.

Greenwich, CT, Oct. 20.-Harry
Jamason, said to be the son of Yer
mont newspaper publisher, was held
in $1,000 bonds by Judge Burns yes
terday, charged with bigamy. He ad
mitted in court that he had married
six women so far, although he Is only
about % years old When asked why
he had married so many times he
replied:
"Well it is not for money, | just
cant help falling in love with pretty
girls
Jamason was recently held in the
Harlem court in New York on
charge of stealing his second wife's
white slippers and wedding hing, for
use in connection with his intended
marriage TO a third young woman.
On May % last, it is alleged, jana
son married Miss Alice Wishart OF
New York and went to live at Bay
onne, n. j. On September IA he is
said TO have married Miss Estelle
Kaiser of No. 156 West One Hundred
and Forty-frst street, New York.
Two days later, it is declared, while
celebrating his wedding with bache-
lor friends he telephoned his latest
brides father at midnight of the
marriage.
There was scene when the secret
became known, and the brides father
sought Jamason and gave him a piece
of his mind The man was greatly
surprised when he met Jamason's
other wife. The two women agreed to
Jamasons arrest. He was brought
here on a requisition by Sheriff Fin
negan.
Jamason's admission in court yes
terday that he had married six times
received some confederation when
two young women who said they
were his latest wives and their faith
ers, confronted him. The women pro
duced marriage certificates and as a
result Judge Burns bound Jamason
over TO the Superior court His
father was present and said he would
give a cash bond so that the young
man should not be locked up.
White River Junction, Oct. 90
The story from Greenwich, CT, to
the effect that young man named
Harry Jamason, son OF Vermont
newspaper publisher, had been held
in court there on a charge of bigamy
appears to relate to a young man of
that name son of Charles X. jana
son, editor and publisher of the
Landmark Mr.. Jamason, ST., is one
of the most respected citizens here,
but It is said that his son has been
the source of considerable anxiety to
him.
Harry Jamason has a wife living,
with their three children. in the home
of his parents here. She was a tele-
phone operator in Gloversville before
her marriage. The young mans faith
er placed him in charge of the Land
mark several years ago, but he did
not prove equal to its management
and the father was obliged to resume
control. Two years ago he went
away to New York. and he is said to
have held good positions in places
where, for the time being, he made
his home.
