SCHOOL TEACHERS ANNOYED.
They Sought Police Aid and a Man Was
Arrested.

Police headquarters got telephone
message at noon asking that an officer
be dispatched to lower Websterville to
arrest a man who made school life un-
pleasant for the teachers and pupils in
the graded school there. Lower Webster
Vile is out of the Barre policemen's
jurisdiction, but Constable George l..
Morris took the complaint in hand and
started after the man in an automobile.
Arriving at the sehoolhouse, the consta-
BILE was met by bevy of exasperated
young teachers, who said they had lost
all patience with the man whom they
sought to have arrested. Not an officer
in Graniteville or Websterville could be
found to apprehend the fellow, they
said.
Constable Morris gained good de-
seription of the disturber and finally ar
rested one Leon Comb on the charge. He
was brought to this city and locked up
at the police station on an intoxica ton
charge. He will be arraigned in city
court before Justice of the Peace Ii. w.
Scott.

STILL UNIDENTIFIED.
The Steamer Which Is Bottom Up in
Lake Huron.

Port Huron. Mich, Nov l4.-With FIVE
steamers given up for lost with all on
board and hope gone for four others that
encountered the terrific storm on Lake
Huron during the early part of the week.
interest to-day centered upon the iden-
tity of the overturned freighter which
lies few miles northeast of here. The
weather conditions this morning indi-
Gated that it might be possible to go
down to ascertain her identity before
night.
The five steamers for which all hope
is abandoned are, the John A. McGeen.
the Charles S. Price, the james S. Car
ruthers, the Regina and the Wexfor.
The four missing vessels are the Hy-
drus, the Argus, the Isaac NJ. Scott and
the Harry B. Smith. The loss of the
nine ships with all their crews would
make total loss of life of more than
l60.
The general opinion is that the over
turned steamer will be found to be eth
er the Price or the Regina, the belief
being that the vessels struck, one over
turning and the other sinking immedi-
ately.

Tip Over Monuments and
Displace Parts of
Others
-LMWOOD VISITED
BY THE MALICIOUS
Police Are Following Out
Clues and Hope to Catch
the Offenders

The most fragrant case of vandalism
that has confronted police headquarters
in many months, came to light this
morning when Supt. Alex. Hanton OF
the cemetery commission went to Elm-
wood and discovered a number of monu-
ments that had been tipped over in the
night. In, almost every section OF the
cemetery there were evidences that the
despoilers had got in their work. A parG
Of the Alexander Gordon monument was
found out of place and others that had
been visited by the vandsls were the
Sutherland and Harper monuments. One
die and column on the Sutherland me-
mortal were found lying on the ground
and tablet on the Harper monument
had been disturbed.
Markers and iron memorials in diff
ferent parts of the burial grounds were
the object Of special attention from the
night prowlers Several were removed
and other evidences of malice there were
a-plenty. Superintendent Hanton inn
mediately notified the police station and
two officers were soon headed for Elm
wood A number of tell-tale marks and
footprints about the grounds convinced
the police that the work was done by
persons who are old enough to know
better. A careful examination of the
cemetery was made and every little clue
discovered will be followed by the police.
Not in a good many years, the super
intendent says, has there been such s
wanton raid on any of the city ceme-
teries. To-day there are many who have
lots and memorials in the cemetery who
were incensed by the depredations re-
ported by the superintendent.
Malicious destruction of property in
cemetery has no semblance OF justifica-
tion, even in extenuating cases, and the
police say heavy penalty Will be in
dicted on the evil doeTs once they are
apprehended. The statutes provide stern
punishment for offenders of this sort.
So far as could be learned to-day the
yandals confined their operations entire
" to Elmwood Nowhere else in the
cemeteries OF the city could the author
tiles discover evidences Of the naraud-
ers. The police are inclined to believe
that the work last night was done by
seNera1 persons
Three Sentences Imposed.
Three alleged participants in fracas
on North Main street 10 days ago came

not less than 10 and not more than 20

Dispatch Asserts Wilson Has Or
dered Huerta to Quit.
BRYAN DENIES THE REPORT
President Believed to Have Informed
Dictator That He Will Have to Re-
sign Office-Third Division of
u. S. Fleet at Vera Cruz.

New York, Nov. ga telegram
from Washington to the New York
Herald says: AN avalanche of denial
leaves unchanged the essentials Of
President Wilson's latest move for the
solution of the Mexican problem. The
president has made peremptory de-
mand on General Huerta to eliminate
himself from the Mexican equation,
and without further waste of I time
Huerta must surrender into other
hands the provisional presidency and
all that goes with it. Should Huerta,
in desperate effort to make himself
a hero in the eyes of Mexicans, de-
clare war on the United States, his
challenge would be promptly met"
Washington, Nov. 6.-The most dras-
tic action President Wilson has in
mind for solution of the Mexican prob
lem is the raising of the embargo on
arms and ammunition, thus letting the
Mexican rebels equip all their fighting
men.
1t is not denied, however, that
note much stronger in tone than the
one originally conveyed through John
Lind, special envoy, has been laid be
fore the dictator. In fact, it is posi-
lively known that Huerta has been adj
vised that his own and his country's
best interests depend on his speedy
retirement.
City of Mexico, Nov 6.-Conversa-
ton at the national palace carried ru-
mors regarding President Huerta's at
titude in the face of Washington's de-
mand that he retire, but the president
himself preserved an enigmatical re-
serve.
Huerta's intimates are familiar with
the terms of the communication, which
they regard as practically mandatory.
Vera Cruz, Nov 6.-The Third divi-
sion of the United States Atlantic
fleet, consisting of the battleships
Rhode Island, Virginia, Nebraska and
New Jersey, arrived. All anchored
outside the breakwater.
Havana, Nov. 5.-Gen. Felix Diaz,

BAVARIA GUSTS
MAD KING OTTO
Monarch Succeeded by the
Prince Regent.
TWO BROTHERS DEMENTED
Deposed Ruler Ordered Troopers to
Charge Stone Wall When Germans
Were Before Gates of
Paris in 1870.

Munich, Nov. king Otto, the in
sane monarch of Bavaria, was de-
throned here on Wednesday after "rul-
ing" for 81 years.
Prince Regent Ludwig proclaimed
himself king in pursuance Of the pro-
visions of a law just enacted by the
two houses OF the Bavarian diet,
The new king is to be known as Lud-
wig III. He will take the constitutional
oath probably on November s.
royal proclamation which was
posted throughout the kingdom de-
clares incurable the insanity which
has incapacitated Otto from ruling and
states that in consequence of this
Prince Regent Ludwig has brought his
regency to an end, has assembled the
throne and nominated himself king.
In his proclamation Ludwig III. al
ludes to himself as king by the grace
of Cod
The deposed King Otto was born
April q, 1848, and succeeded his
brother Ludwig H., who drowned him
self in Starnberg lake (Starnberger-
see), June -, 1885.
Two members of the Bavarian diet
were sent as a delegation to Fuersten-
ried palace to visit the mad king. They
found him in a pathetic condition.
When he saw them he stammered
some inarticuIate words. While they
were out of the room they heard a
crash and found that Otto had dashed
to the floor tea tray which had been
set for the deputies.
The last act of Otto as king, when
he upset a tea tray which had been
set for the reception of two members
of the chamber of deputies, who had
come to see him, was in its futility a
fitting climax to dementia, which had
first become pronounced when the
Germans were before the gates of
Paris in 1870. Otto, then prince, or
dered his regiment to charge a stone
wall, in the belief that the wall was a
detachment of the enemy. The king
of Prussia called Prince Otto to his
headquarters, decorated him with the
Order of the Iron Cross for past valor
and placed him under surveillance.
Such was Prince Otto of Bavaria,
who 27 years ago was proclaimed king
by Prince Luitpold, then regent. Lud-
wig H., also a mad king, and elder
brother of Otto, had been deposed and
a regency established.
