Deputy Sheriff A. NJ. Morrison had an
exciting time with the latter's touring
car wrile returning from county court
in Montpelier early last evening. The
pair were bowling easily along Berlin
street when a car, said to be owned by
ex- Mayor S. S. Ballard, suddenly backed
into the highway and struck the oneom-
ing machine. The impact of the blow
was severe enough nearly to unseat both
passengers, and it was with difficulty
that the driver of the Barre car kept
from driving headlong into the still wa
tiers of the Winooski river just below
the bank. One of the mudguards and
tire on the deputys car were badly
damaged by the rear-end collision The
driver OF the Montpelier machine re-
turned to a neighboring garage for tires
to equip the damaged car from this
city.

WATER SHRINKAGE LESS.
Drain on Orange Brook Not So Serious
As 1t Has Been.

To-day's measurements at the Orange
reservoir recorded a drop OF three and
one half inches since yesterday. The
aldermanic water committee and Supt.
H. L. Reynolds returned to the city early
this afternoon and all We're more or less
pleased to notice sporadic drops of wa
ter pattering into the streets and the
sky overcast. They agree with other
weather prophets that the rain cannot
hold off much longer and are satisfied
that the situation will improve material
ly with the first heavy precipitation that
everyone is predicting. At Orange ba-
sin there are 100000 gallons stored at
the present time, and 100000 gallons
have been pumped into the Bolster res
ervoir. The latter is still held in re-
serve, as the pump is now being utilized
to push the branch water into The city
mains for immediate consumption. This
mornings fire on Long street is said to
have had no appreciable effect on stor
age at Orange, although two streams
were directed against the blaze.

Doherty, Canadian minister of Justice
Il assume full responsibility for the
deportation. The action has been taken
after careful consideration. What was
done was merely to carry out the law
he added.
What about the court orders, the writ
of habeas corpus?" he was asked.
There has been good deal of mis-
understanding on those points," replied
Judge Doherty,
"There was no writ of prohibition di-
rected to the authorities who had Thaw
in custody. As for the writ of habeas
corpus, it was directed to the officer who
had Thaw in custody before the board
of inquiry took action.
1T directed the official to produce
Thaw on Monday. BY the operation of
the immigration law, Thaw passed from
the possession of the officers to whom
the writ of habeas corpus had been di-
rected. He came, by operation of the
law, into possession of other officials.
There was no court order restraining
them and nothing to prevent them exc
cutting the warrant for deportation, /"
