He withdrew, according 70 statement

justified"

pEDDLER FINED $50.
For Peddling Without License in
Brattleboro.

Brattleboro. July 19.--Peter Alexan-
der, charged with peddling fruit without
a license, was before the municipal court
yesterday and pleaded guilty Attorney
Myron p. Davis appeared for him and
pleaded that Alexander had a license
which expired in April, but the respond
ent did not know it had expired He
also declared that there was a conspir-
acy against Alexander and his brother
and that there was determined effort
on the part Of officers to drive them out
of town, using the slightest pretext to
accomplish their purpose. He urged pro-
baton.
Probation Officer G.. Menzies Miller
plainly told the court that he did not
sympathize with the probation idea as
Alexander, through experience, was per-
fectly familiar with the law covering
peddlers and their licenses and that this
instance was merely an effort to avoid
paying peddler's license fee.
Judge Frank T.. Barber imposed fine
of $50 and the costs were $4.o4.
Alexander said he could raise the
money from friends and departed in the
company of Sheriff C. Z. Mann to raise
the necessary" The arrest was made
by Deputy Sheriff c. |. Knapp, who in
formed the court that he had received
more than 90 complaints regarding Alex
ander selling without license and that
the last was from County Clerk +. d. u.

Alexander ii he had license and that

REBELS NAME OWN
PRESIDENT IN CHINA
Southern Revolutionists Proclaim APP
pointment of Cabinet-Heavy
Fighting Expected.

Pekin, July 19.-The situation brought
about by the rebellion in the southern
provinces of China has improved some
what, when regarded from the northern
point of view. Fewer soldiers have de-
serted the government of Provisional
President Yuan Shi Kai than had been
anticipated by the authorities.
Heavy fighting is expected to occur at
Kin Kiang, in the province of Kiang 81,
after the lul following the recent defeat
of the southern forces at HUI Chow, in
the province of Che Kiang.
The leaders of the southern forces is
sued a proclamation yesterday announc-
ing the appointment as president of the
republic of Tsen, Chun- husuan, former
viceroy of Canton, and Yuan Shi Kais
old enemy. Wang Chung Wei is named
foreign minister, and Chang Hsuan-huai
finance minister. All three are consid-
cred in northern circles to be fanatic.
The southern rebels Thursday killed
twenty officers who had remained loyal
to the Pekin government, including the
new governor of the province of Ngan-
hwei.
Provisional President Yuan Shi Kai
had long conference with the loyal
generals yesterday, when plans for the
suppression of the rebellion were dis
eussed
The belief prevails very generally in
Pekin that the Japanese are financing
the revolution in the southern provinces
and some Of the newspapers assert that
frty officers of the japanese army are
with the rebel troops.

ENGLISH HOSPITALS INADEQUATE,
Says Sir William 0sler, Professor Of
Medicine at oxford.

London, july 19.-Sir William Osler,
regius professor Of medicine at Oxford,
has been vooing the opinion of the
medical profession at the inadequaey Of
the hospital accommodation in England
and comparing unfaYorably the yolun-
tary system in vogue here with the sys-
tenn in America and Canada, where all
hospitals accept paying patients.
Throughout the United Kingdom the
hospitals accept no pay from their pa
tients. with the result that they are
crowded with those who cannot afford
to pay. and in many cases are partially
closed because the lack OF funds will not
allow all the beds to be occupied, while
people who could afford to pay some
thing have to 90 to nursing homes,
which are in most cases very expensive,
or be nursed at home. The result, ac
cording to doctors with large practices,
is that only the very poor or the very
rich get proper medical attention.
