BENNINGTON, VT, JUNE 20, 1913

Judge Sibley maintains that his
motion in the village meeting Mon
day evening, to dismiss the article
relative to Attorney G. A. Maurer's
bill, was the best motion under the
circumstances. His theory is that
the village and it's citizens as
sembled should keep their hands
off at present as they may have to
interfere later and they do not want
to tie their hands now or prejudice
their case by taking any action
whatever. 1t would seem anyway
as though the matter has gone about
far enough and that real effort
should be made to bring about
settlement. Mr.. Maurer declares
that his bill is a just one and ought
to be paid while the great bulk of
the citizens of the village believe
that the bill is exorbitant to an ex-
IRENE degree. Why not arbitrate
the matter. Let Mr.. Maurer select
one man and the village trustees
one and the two agree on third,
and then accept the decision of the
three. 1t would be cheaper and bet
ter for all concerned than to go into
lawsuit and such a settlement
would leave no hard feelings.

Law Without Teeth.

Those who confidently believed
the enactment of the Webb law
would aid materially in making
states that vote against the licensing
of the liquor traffic dry" in fact
are likely to be grievously disap-
pointed as a result of the interpre-
tation given that law by the depart
ment of justice and the instructions
issued in accordance with that in
depreciation.
The Webb law, 1t will be recalled,
forbids the shipment of liquor into
states in which the manufacture and
sale of liquor is prohibited by law,
and the instructions issued by the
department of justice say the law
is not to be regarded as criminal
statute and therefore violations of
IL cannot be prosecuted In the fedel.
al courts.
About this particular piece of fed
eral legislation there always has
been some question. President Taft
maintained 1t was unconstitutional
and vetoed Il. Attorney General
Wickersham held IL was in contra
NtullOn Vi the llttTSNtlc piONlSlou
Of the constitution in that it sought
TO delegate to the states power to
regulate such commerce Attorney
General McReynolds who has made
the latest ruling upon il, declares
the federal government is not re-
quired to enforce a statute for the
violation of which no penalty is i'm
posed, but the states may take such
action as may seem desirable or
necessary.
Probably the Supreme Court Of
the United States win be called up
on for a final and authoritative de-
cision on this law. but il is clear
that until such a decision is forth
coming the Webb statute will be Of
little or no avail.-Montpeiier Jour

Bennington ought to be liberal In
what it does for the Kurn-Hattin
home for boys at Westminster for
nine orphaned boys from this town
are being cared for there and given
start in life, while there are two
more to enter from here as soon
as there is room. The total number
of boys at the home is 81 sc that this
town has practically one in nine OF
the entire number, much more than
any other town in the state. kurn-
Hattin is one of the best of homes
and the boys from there usually turn
out well. One of the Bennington
boys now there is to go this fall TO
the state agricultural school at Ran
dolph and all our boys over there
are doing well. For these reasons
Bennington ought to be generous to
this institution. MISS Sessions
from the school is here in town on
her annual soliciting trip. She is
stopping at the home of w. b,
Sheldon and will welcome all sub
scriptions no matter how small or
how large Bennington lodge OF
Elks, which a year ago gave a bed
and bedding, last night voted $40 in
cash and other organizations should
fall in line with what they can af-
ford. We should remember that
Vermont has never been liberal
enough to build a state home for
orphas children and we are DEEPEN
dant on such institutions as the
Kurn-Hattin home supported by pri-
vate subscriptions. Most anybody
can afford to give from rs cents to
SIS and the money will go for the
benefit of those who are left help

help themselves.

YOUTH OPENS FIRE
AS MAN CHOKES PARENT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD. Del, Jan. 2O.-One man
was instantly killed and two children
injured near here yesterday, when
Geosge Smith shot four times at the
man who was choking his mother.
The dead was John Belts, aged 40.
and the injured are Smiths brother
and sister, aged 9 and lS, respective
ly.
Belts, whose wife died several
years ago employed Mrs. Mary
smith, widow to keep house for
him. they both having children over

trouble began and Belts grabbed the
woman. threw her down and is said
to have been choking her when her
lS-year-old son, George, secured his
44-calber revolver
III YOU don't release mother I'll
kill YOU on the spot" exclaimed
Smith. But no sooner had the remark
been made when Belts sprang toward
the young man and tried to take the
gun from him. During the tussle
smith shot wildly three times, two
loads striking his brother and sister,
one in the side and the other in the
hand
After seeing what Smith had done
Belts began to release his hold on the
boy. and when the opportunity came
Smith fired the fatal shot, which
struck Belts just over the heart. The
injured man. bewildered, walked out
side the door, but Immediately re-
turned. He started toward young
Smith. when he fell dead.
Immediately after the shooting
Smith went TO officer Alderman and
surrendered. telling him what he had
done saying: 1T was for mothers
sake
