DRAGNET
|SOUT FOR CAR
BANDITS
Two Thought Wounded When Six
Are Cornered Following an
Attempted HoIdup.

The police dragnet was thrown
about the city Tuesday morning to
capture two negroes who are sup
posed to have been wounded in a pis-
tol battle between Motorcycle Police
men Shumate and Palmer and six ne
groes who attempted to hold up a
West Hunter Street car Monday
shortly before midnight at Hunter
and Ashby Streets
According to statements made by
one negro who was captured during
the battle, both the wounded negroes
were shot in the leg while fleeing
through the woods.
Two attempts were made to hold up
the street car. The first came about
10 o'clock, and Conductor H. R. Gar
ret finally drove the negroes away,
but not before he had been badly
beaten. He was relieved from duty
and another conductor took the car.
Carrot fired several shots at the high
waymen, but it is not thought that
any of them took effect
Police Chief Jett notified of the at
tempted holdup, sent officers Palmer
and Shumate to the end of the Hun
ter Street line, thinking the negroes
might make another attempt. The
officers were fired on by a gang of
negroes in ambush as they neared the
section of the city near Hunter and
Ashby Streets.
The policemen took refuge behind
a stonepile. near the intersection of
the streets and lively battle ensued.
Shumate and Palmer fired at the
flashes of the negroes pistols until
their ammunition was nearly exhaust
ed and then rushed the highwaymen.
The blacks lost their nerve and,
leaving the shelter of their hiding
places, dashed into the woods Shu-
mate and Palmer pursued them, firing
as they ran.
One negro sprained his ankle try
ing to leap down an embankment and
was captured. Two others fell during
the running battle, but imped into
the woods and mace their escape.

A clever comedy sketch a tramp

weeks bill of vaudeville at the Forsyth.
The remainder of the offering is medi-
ocre-considerably below the standard.
Edward Abeles and Miss Charlotte
Lander present most delightfully."- a re-
freshing playlet of marital life, He
Tried To Be Nice" 1t is full of laughs
and excellently done. Billy MCDermott,
on whom Nat Wills in his "trampiest"
days had nothing. is the big laugh
maker Of the program. His stories are
new and clean and his burlesque of
opera stars and bandmasters is a
scream. The aerial act, which is. so
good it takes a tOpnotch place on the
bill, is done by Leitzel and Jeanette,
both young women. One of the pair is
gymnastically a wonder and her feats
keep the house applauding throughout
her turns.
Other acts are Rae Fenton, who her
self is a clever entertainer, but who for
some reason has two boys trying to as

Georgia-his eyes were filled with
tears, and those who knew the story
of the Book knew why.
The bond of affection between the
Governor and his father is deep and
sincere. The spirit of mutual admir-
alton and respect is marked and
mighty well worth noting.
One reason why Jack is Govern

ing
John +. McCIetland. representing

Both AlT. Rosser and City Attorney

RECEIVED STOLEN GOODS.
Alec Feinberg Pleaded Guilty in Chitten-
den County Court.

Burlington Feb. l5.-Alec Fenberg
another OF the several Burlingtonian'
charged with receiving stolen property,
the charge being based on the confes-
sions of the freight car burglars, Hooper
and Poirier. was arrsigned in Chitten-
den county court yesterday and pleaded
guilty to two counts in the informa-
ton.
There were four counts originally
but when the case was called yester-
day, States Attorney Hopkins had two
of them mol pressed. He also had the
information so amended that Feinberg
was charged only with aiding in the
'concealment of stolen property in
stead of receiving" the same.
Feinberg then pleaded guilty to aid
ing in concealing stolen property on Sep
TENDER 30, the property consisting of
thirty boxes of Hood rubbers valued at
500 and ten boxes of Empire rubbers,
valued at S75.
States Attorney Hopkins told the
court that this case was unlike the
others. Feinberg was clerk in the
employ OF other parties and what he
had done was brought about by force
OF circumstances more than anything
else. He recommended 5000 fine and
the probation officer.
Judge Taylor then imposed fine OF
5000 and costs on Feinberg, and sen
tence of not less than one or more than
two years at the house of correction.
The sentence, however. is suspended
when Feinberg pays his fine and costs
and he will be placed in the hands of
the probation officer with the usual IN
structions as 20 future behavior.
Four of the prosecutions based on
the disclosures of the freight car bur.
glars have been partially disposed Of.
The first was plea of guilty; the sec
ond plea of guilty; the third dis
agreement OF jury; and the fourth plea
of guilty.

That there s need for law Of such
nature in Vermont win be attested by
many people who are acquainted with
the mulcting of Vermonters in years
past by companies which gave alluring
promises of splendid returns-gave prom
ises and that was about all, after the
money had been invested. The losers
were not always billiards in business but
good figurers in ordinary transactions;
but they were handicapped in not being
in a position to know the investments
offered them; that is, to know them
we'll enough to act with sound judg-
ment. The investments we're far away
in most cases, and it was not possible
for the individuals to make personal
inspection, as result of which many
were feeced and their families suffered.
1t is to prevent occurrences of these un-
fortunate investments that the new law
is framed, as we understand it; and We

CURRENT COMMENT
Page and His Bill.

The snpposition that some of us have
been laboring under that Senator Page
carried but little weight in the United
States Senate except when subjects per-
tanning to hides and leather were under
discussion has received a severe knock
since his educational vocational bill has
passed that body through his efforts and
over other bills which had the support of
some of the great men in the senate The
passage of the bill is certainly signal
triumph for Mr.. Page and for Vermont.
1t is being widely commented upon both
by its friends and its enemies. The bill
may not of course pass the house, yet it
is said the chances are brighter for its
passage by that body than was antici-
pated. Now let's hear from Plumley and
Green in the house. The bin carried
maximum appropriation of Sl4,000,000
for educational work of the vocational
kind in the various states.-Barton Mon
