PEACE BODY ASKS
CANAL ACT REPEAL
Carnegie Endowment Trustees
Urge Congress to Keep
Treaty Faith.
MORE VITAL, THEY SAY,
THAN AID TO SHIPPING
Exemptions Of Coastwise Vessels De-
clared to Be of Uncertain Ben
eft to the Country.

strong plea for the repeal of that
section Of the Panama canal act of 1912
exempting American coastwise vessels
from paying tolls has been made public
by the trustees of the Carnegie endoW-
ment for international peace. The trus-
tees of the endowment take the stand
that 1t is of far more value to the United
States to observe faithfully its treaties
with Great Britain in regard to the canal
than to attempt by this Legislation to ad-
vance the interests of the country's
coastwise shipping.

Give History of Treaties.
The trustees give history of the treat
ain relating to the Panama canal. from
the convention made in 1850. In that
treaty both countries bound themselves
that neither would lever obtain or main
tain for itself any exclusive control over"
an isthmian canal or maintain any for

ercise dominion over ANY part of Cen
trail America The contracting parties
further agreed to protect the canal from

This convention is commonly spoken Of
as the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
The statement shows that in 1901 the
Hay-PauncefOte treaty was concluded
between Great Britain and this country,
and that the essential provisions Of this
treaty were that 1.-The canal may be con-
structed under the auspices of the gov
eminent of the United States,'' and that
the said government shall have and
enjoy all the rights incident to such con-
structiOn, as well as the exclusive right
of providing for the regulation and man

DEER HUNTING RUNS
THROUGH NOVEMBER
Large Number of Hunters
Have Gone Into the
Woods

Nopoleon Barlow of No. Main street
was first to bring deer to the city to-
day. He shot the animal, fine buck,
weighing l50 pounds, near Lanesboro at
$3.50 this morning. The carcass was
brought to Tassie's market this FORE
noon and placed ON exhibition as the
first trophy of the 1918 deer season.
Morning broke on the opening day of
the hunt with cold wind blowing up
from the southwest. Heavy clouds sailed
across the sky, but through rift here
and there the sun sent its rays and the
gray was mingled with patches of blue.
After yesterdays mild temperature,
many hunters who planned to sally forth
to-day, hoped to see a coating of snow
on the ground this morning. But the
winds ruled otherwise and for time,
at least, the chase will be made no
easier by the tellta snow.
The past three days have witnessed
general exodus of nimrods, many going
into camp along the Green mountain
ridges of central Vermont. Several par
ties left for the woods Saturday and
Others started out on the trail last
night. Outgoing trains to-day carried
many more prospective deer slayers to
the haunts of the deer. The season will
continue till Dec. |. BY a legislative
enactment, the open season is extended
from 10 to 20 days this year. During
the latter period deer having horns not
less than three inches in length may be
captured or killed from o'clock in the
morning until at night, Sundays ex-
cepted Only one deer is allowed to q
hunter.
Hunting licenses granted by City
Clerk James Mackay since July fall
considerably short Of the number issued
in a similar period last year, When the
season opened in 1912 around 900 per-
mits had been issued; to-day the total
had reached 547 resident licenses, and.
80 of these were granted in the past two
DAYS From the local Office six licenses
have been granted to non resident prop
erty owners and IL to non-residents.
The disparity in the 1912 and 1918 fig
ures is explained by the new statute
which recognizes no distinction between
nom residents and aliens who have lived
here many years without being natural
lied.
Hunters are urged to use extreme eau
tion in blazing away at something that
looks like deer. 1t has been observed
in the past that a tendency to fire at
haIf-cock" has led to large mortalities
among cattle and does. Then there is
he omnipresent danger of leveling gun
1t man instead of deer. In this con-
1ection old hunters have suggested that
people who intend to travel the woods
n the next three weeks array them
selves in bright colors, such as may be
distinguished from the drab background
presented by the woods and fields in
ate autumn. Coon skin caps should
llso be left on the hat rack at home.

pleaded guilty and received 30 days.

CELEBRATED SOCCER SEASON.
Football Players and Friends Par
ticipated in Good Time.

Soccer football players representing
every club in the city and hundred or
more invited guests came together in
Clan Gordon hall Saturday evening for
the annual joint reunion of the Bonac-
cords and the Green Mountains, two of
the foremost soccer organizations in
Barre. Dancing was the big enlivening
feature of the occasion, although there
were other diversions that helped to
make it gladstone time for all.
1t was late in the evening when Pres
ident George Taylor of the Bonaccords
arose to speak; and there was a hush in
the audience for not few had obtained
an inkling of what the nature of his re-
marks was to be. In little speech, well
adapted to the occasion, the president
presented James Stewart a handsome
pipe. The gift was described as tes-
timonial of the clubs appreciation of
Mr.. Stewards efficient services as trainer
during the season past Visibly, the re-
cipient was somewhat taken aback BY
the presentation, but he was able to
reach his feet and make a well worded
speech of thanks, while the entire COM
pany applauded.
Bruce's orchestra furnished music for
the dancing and at the height of the fun
there were seventy-fve couples on the
floor. A committee consisting of A.
w. Keir, II. Forsythe and A.
Watt directed the dancing. Throughout
the evening refreshments were served.
The joint committee in charge of the
affair was constituted as follows; R.

ner, A. Watt, w. Naughton, A. Walker,

$4,000 CARGO SUNK IN LAKE.
Tug Caught Fire in Shelburne Harbor
Where 1t Now Rests.

Burlington, Nov. l0.-The tug Unique
valued at about $1,000 was partially de.
stroyed and sank Friday night at Shell
burne harbor as the result of stub
born fire of unknown origin, which de-
stroyed the cabin. The damage is not
known and the officials of the Champlain
Barge Canal Transportation Co., who
own the boat, are undetermined as to
whether to raise her or not.
The boat had broken sea cap and
was about to be repaired. For this rea-
son, she was taken to Shelburne harbor,
as the ways there could be used. The
boat was to be raised to-day and every
thing was in readiness. A. man was
kept on board by the company and he
ate and slept there but Friday evening
was away for few minutes. AT $3.50
the boat was all right but at 10 o'clock
the night watchman found the cabin to
be on fire. The flames seemed to spring
from the fore and aft part of the cabin
at the same time, and for this reason
it is thought that the cause Of the fire
was spontaneous combustion.
Two streams of water We're quickly
brought into play and the workmen in
tht Shpps VI bht pOi Ia
tion Co. succeeded in preventing the
flames from spreading outside of the
cabin except in some cases, where the
planking and the beams were burned to
some extent. The company has steam
pumps on hand and these were set to
work at once to feed the two inch hose
which were used on the fire. The water
was flooded in so fast that it was not
long before the boat was sunk under its
weight in few feet of water near the
shore.
The Unique is tug which was
brought from Rockland, Me-, six years
ago. She is 81 feet long, of 10 foot
beam and eight feet two inches in depth.
She is one of the two boats which were
brought here when it was thought that
another towing company was charging
too much for its services.

ALSATIANS ANGRY
AT AN OFFICER
Who offered a Reward of $3.50 to Each
Soldier Who Would Run Through
ANY Alsatian yagabond Molest-
ing Him.

Zabern, Alsace, Germany, Nov. l0.--A
violent outbreak of Indignation, accom-.
panied by rioting, was brought about
here last evening by the publication OF
remarks alleged to have been made by
Lieutenant Baron Won Forstner to the
recruits, in which he said he would give
$3.50 to any of his soldiers who ran
through any Alsatian vagabond molest-
ing him.
A crowd of angry residents waylaid
the lieutenant and he was obliged to
send for soldiers, who escorted him to
his residence. Later thousands be-
sieged the officers club. The police were
unable to cope with the situation and
firemen were called out to disperse the
crowd with water, but the hose was cut
and troops were finally summoned. The
sergeant of the regiment, who was re-
ported to have offered to add rs cents
to the 1ieutenant's $3.50, was badly
beaten up.

rs STILL OPPOSED TO
LIFTING BAN ON ARMS
President Says He Has No
Intention Now to Ad-
dress Congress

Washington, D. c., Nov. l0.-President
Wilson discussed the Mexican situation
to-day and cleared the atmosphere or
many reports as to the intentions of the
United States and made it clear that for
the present at least, he has no inten-
tion of addressing Congress because the
situation is not in shape.
While certain representations have
been made to the Huerta government,
no reply has been received, he declared,
and no time limit was set for Huerta
to reply. The president said he was not
ready to discuss recognition of the Con-
stitutionalists and that his opposition to
raising the embargo on arms was un-
changed.
President Wilson spoke especially
against the reports representing the sit
uation to be more serious than it was.
Sensational reports, the president said,
embarrassed the task of the admnistra-
tion, especially when the reports pre-
dicted a move in advance of action by
the administration.

TRAPPER WAS KILLED
SHOOTER ARRESTED
Tragic Affair in West Haven Yesterday
Said To Have Been Outcome of Bad
Feeling Between Charles Gordon,
the Victim, and William Koch.

Rutland, Nov. William Koch, a
prosperous farmer of West Haven Is ac-
cused of killing Charles Gordon, aged 3S,
of Whitehall, N. Y, by shooting him
after an argument over some traps set
on the Koch farm, which is located on
Lake Champlain in the western part of
the county. The shooting occurred yes
terday morning, and Koch was arrested
yesterday afternoon and brought to the
house of correction last night.
1t is claimed that there had been more
or less bad feeling between the two men
for several years, dating back to time
when Koch was fish and game warden,
acting under the New York state laws,
and the trouble was precipitated yester-
day when Gordon was found trapping on
the Vermont side of the lake.
Charles Gordon was native OF White
hall and worked about that town doing
carpentry during the summer months,
while in the winter he lived on house.
boat on Lake Champlain.
The boat yesterday was tied just
across from West Haven and shortly
after o'clock he left the house in a
smaller boat for the Vermont side. He
visited his traps, which were located on
the Koch farm, and was Just preparing
to return to his boat when he was ac-
costed by Mr.. Koch, who demonstrated
with him for trespassing on his land.
just what passed between the men is
not known but when Gordon went to his
boat, Koch pulled 3S-calibre revolver
from his pocket and shot Gordon through
the back. The latter fell into the water
and when Koch realized the situation lie
rushed to the aid Of the wounded man.
With considerable difficulty he was able
to keep Gordon's head above water I'M
