One of Our Queer Customs.

The two citizens of the United States
who are every four years elected presi-
dent and vice ,.esident do not have
any official notification Of their election.
Information regarding the event goes
TO them as it goes TO the public. Nei-
Their the federal constitution nor the
electoral count act makes any provision
for notifying them or issuing to them
commission certifying their election
They do not even receive from the
president of the senate and the speaker
of the house a certified copy of the pro-
ceedings of the joint meeting Of the
two bodies at which the certificates OF
the electoral votes of the several states
are opened and counted. Nor is any
committee of either body or both bodies
appointed to wait upon them or other
wise notify them of the result. Some
kind of commission il issued to all
other officers of the government but
the president and the vice president
have no official document as evidence
of their election. 1t Is merely case OF
common knowledge Courier.

way every few days with salts, cathartic
pills or castor oil? This is important.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour,

TWO VERMONT YOUTHS
IN ROLE OF BANDITS
Confessed to Attempted Hold-up at
West Springfield, Mass, and to a
Misdeed at Saxtons River, VT.

Springfield, Mass, Feb. lS.--Iarry +
Moore, 10, and Clarence ID. Gould. 10, oil
SaXtons Riveh, VT, were arrested by Chief
of Police Edward Bromage of West
Springfield and Inspector James DAILY of
the local police department Sunday after
noon, charged with assaulting and at
tempting to kill Manuel A. Allen of
Amostown, West Springfield, Saturday
afternoon. The arrest of the two boys
within "a hours after the sensational
holdup on the lonely Amostown road
was considered remarkable, in view of
fact that there was practically no ciew
to work on until the boys had a chance
to escape. Both boys were brought to
the police station, where they later ad-
mitted that they had held up Mr.. Allen.
In addition to the Allen holdup, which
proved to be the climax of their careers
OF crime, they were charged with the
larceny OF some jewelry and revolvers at
Saxtons River. Vt, about December H.
In connection with this theft they had
also been charged with horse stealing,
When interviewed yesterday they also
admitted stealing a diamond ring from
the home of Mrs. Annie l.. Phillips in
West Springfield about December ID,
The story of their two careers is Is
thrilling as q "Wild Dick" novel and
brings to light unheard-of attempts Mt
crime. From petty larceny their conr-
age grew until they halted at nothing
less than highway robbery. For weeks
the boys, according to their own state |
ments, devoured the tales of Jesse James |
and other notorious outlaws until they !
could contain themselves no longer and |
sought TO emulate the crimes Of their mo- |
torious heroes.
In telling of their movements since |
leaving Saxtons River, on the l4th, !
Moore stated that they had in their pos
session at the time woman's gold
watch with the name "Aliee Barnes"
engraved on the back. woman's large |
silver watch with silver dial, Smith
& Wesson double-action 3S-calibre re-
volver, Savage rife, model 3l3, with a
,2-inch barrel, and a Marvel hunting
knife. When they arrived at Greenfield
they sold the rife, taking the money TO
pay their car fare to this city. In the
suit case i'm Moore's possession a large
life bayonet knife. a large packet knife,
/ hunting knife and a glass-cutter were
ound
Gould, the younger Of the two. hardly
ooked the part of desperate. He
wore knee brooches and loose-fitting
oat. He has a bright look and seemed
more than ordinarily intelligent for a
.outh who did not have many advant-
ges. He told his story in manner
hat left no doubt as to its truth. He
laimed that he had been persuaded by
Ioore to enter on his criminal career,
nd that everything that had been done
las done at Moore's suggestion.
The police stated last evening that
he case was unusual and could be At
ributed TO the influence which the wild
Iest" literature had on the boys minds. a
While both are irresponsible, they \
bowed a daring that bellies their years. '
