CONTINUANCE GRANTED.
But 1t Was Preceded By Some Heated
Statements.

Rutland, April l6.-There were heat
ed arguments in Rutland county court
yesterday afternoon in the case of L. C.
Wilson of Brookline, Mass, formerly OF
this city, VS.. d. A. Barker OF Rutland
following motion by counsel for de-
tense for continuance of the case and
the fling of affidavits, showing tina.
j. Walter Lyons and Thomas II. Browne,
important witnesses, are out of the
state and cannot be reached by sub
pGna.
This is the case in which Wilson
claims that Barker did not turn over
to him the entire sum of money he
collected from Lyons as Wilson's agent
in settlement of damages claimed on
the ground that Lyons abducted the
plaintiffs daughter, Evelyn.
In his affidavit, the plaintiff states
that he expects that Lyons will testify
that $500 was all he paid Barker in
settlement of Wilson's claim Browne,
the affidavit says, represented Lyons in
the settlement and knows the conditions
of it.
In counter affidavit the plaintiff
asserts that Lyons and Browne were in
Rutland the first of April and could
have been subppnaed at that time. One
of the plaintiffs counsel stated that he
thought this action of the defendant
was subterfuge to get the case put
over until next term. Judge Butler
granted the motion last night.

CoNCILIATORY ATTITUDE.
May Be Assumed by the Government of
Belgium.

Brussels. April l6.-Out of the weltei
of contradictory and incomplete figures
it is impossible more than to approxi'
mate the total number of workmen who
have Joined in the strike throughout Bel.
gium for manhood suffrage. Independ-
ent estimates place the number between
2sOOO0 and 100000, although the So
cialists, who are responsible for the
movement, claim 10000.
Except in the industrial centers, the
strike has had no apparent effect. The
general public has not been inconven-
fenced. and consequently is not Impress
ed. and as the strikers generally nam
tain admirable discipline, they have not
alienated the sympathies of the liberal
capitalists, who are contributing to the
funds.
The proprietor of large hotel in Brus-
sells is giving $4,000 weekly until the
strike has been lost or won.
The situation was the subject of de-
bate in the senate which reassembled
yesterday. Answering attacks by the
liberals and Socialists, the premier said
that the government was and is ready to
take conciliatory action but that it had
no intention to abdicate before the strike.

fs-INCH TROUT.
Caught BY Barre Boy and Was the Ban
ner Fish of the First Day.

| Early reports from the fishers of trout
| indicate that the first days catch was
up to the average of other years, while
many sportsmen who were more than
ordinarily fortunate in landing fish yes
terday maintain that trout took hold
OF the bait with all the earnestness OF
early summer. To them it seemed as
though luck broke better yesterday than
ever before. Although the water is ex-
tremely roily in most brooks, the warm
sun worked wonders TO the advantage
of the fishermen. From inquiries made
among sportsmen representing both the
bait and fly school of trout fishing, il
is evident that trout appeared to lurK
in the quiet places yesterday. AT least
the majority of trout killed were caught
in deep holes, according to reports. This,
however. is due in measure to the fact
that trout could hardly distinguish q
bait in swift water on account of the
mud. Sticking to the deep holes is said
to be an early season trait of the trout
family.
Perhaps the banner catch was made
by North Barre boy named Comolli,
who went up the Williamstown track
and caught eight or nine big fish, one
of which weighed nearly one and one
half pounds. 1t measured fifteen inches
and more from head to tail. Others
were of such size that the entire catch
totaled somewhere near four pounds.
One man whose business called him over
Plaintleld way took along his pole and
line in the afternoon. A few moments
at the brook netted him two fine speci-
mems. States Attorney j. Ward Carver
and +. f. Austin brought back three
dozen beauties from Williamstown and
Earl Smith got like number in Orange.
II. w. Shores and Philip l.. Ellis start
cd out to fish the Dog river in North
field. The Dog was so muddy that they
turned to small brooks in the vicinity
Of Middlesex and were rewarded with
4 string weighing five pounds.
Howard Miles of West street spent
afternoon at Orange and
ropsham, returning with about two !
pounds of the speckled beauties. One |
II the trout measured eleven inches.
Lyman Whitcomb. student at God |
lard seminary, took a day off from his
studies yesterday and went TO Marsh
ield. On a string of dozen large brook
rout was one that weighed few ounces
mder one and one-half pounds. They /
we're all caught by Mr.. Whitcomb.

SERIOUS RIOTING
AT MILFORD, MASS.

Injured This Morning in Clash at
Door of Factory.

Milford, Mass, April l6.-An attempt

vent others from working. Officers sta
toned at the factory were unable to
handle the crowd and after melee, in
which clubs, sticks and stones were used,
called for assistance. When reinforce
ments arrived, the combined forces by
the use of clubs managed to open pas
sage for the loyal employees to enter the

Joined the national political strike OF
the Belgian workers, who have chosen
this means of forcing the grant of suf-
frage in Belgium and the abolition OF
a system by which wealthy citizens are
given plural voting power. Socialist
leaders on the other hand assert that
the total number of strikers is over
100000.
Violence has been an exception since
the order to quit work was promulgated.
1t was stated to-day the government
finds itself with considerably smaller
supply of coal to run the state railroads
than was supposed. This is likely to
be exhausted this week, crippling the
transportation facilities. Lack of fuel
will also cause a stoppage of many cleo
tric and gas plants and prevent thous-
ands of non strikers working.
