MARRIAGE LAWS
Congress Is Asked 10 Favor Rules Call
ing for Doctors Ger
tificates.

Washington, April 24.-Marriage reg
ulations that would serve as model for
the nation will be framed by the board
of trade at its regular meeting May o.
and Congress will be petitioned to en-
dorse them and aid in their enforce
ment by granting added powers to the
health department of the District of
Columbia.
Committees of the organization have
been at work for some time framing
the various planks of the proposed re-
form Provided the boards probable rec
concentrations become law, bashful
bridegrooms and blushing brides would
be compelled to present physicians GER
tificates as to their good health before
a marriage license could issue; Congress
would create vice commission, and
would both increase the powers and
add to the dispensaries and laboratories
of the health department, and gen
eral widespread campaign of education
in sex hygiene would be undertaken.
The organizations committee on pub
lie health, at meeting Tuesday night,
adopted several resolutions along such

death The body was found yesterday
only few feet from the place where the
negro is alleged to have been snapped"

on the section gang
There were no marks of identification
on the body except brass tag bearing
the numbers "ll5," which was the way
he was designated by the contracting
firm by whom he was employed on the
construction work at Essex. The body
was taken to undertaking rooms in
Richmond, where an autopsy will be per-
formed to-day under the direction of the
state.
1t will be necessary to call a new
grand jury as the grand jury Of the pres
tnt term of Chittenden county court was
dismissed but not discharged, so that
the machinery of the law is already at
the disposal of States Attorney Theo-

Highway Rob- Tues
-

FOUR WERE ARRESTED
NORTH OF ROYALTON
One Other Was Taken at
White River Junction
Yesterday

Five negroes were lodged in Washing
ton county Jail last night, being suspects
IN the attempted hold-up of DR.. John q.
Whitney on the road between Montpelier
and Middlesex last Tuesday night. Four
of the men were arrested by Sheriff
Tracy and Deputy Sheriff H. c. Lawson
at point one mile north of the village
OF Royalton, while the fifth was appre-
hended at White River Junction by
Chief of Police Ober of that village, the
negro alighting from southbound train
early yesterday. This man gave his
name as Aronius Page.
The names of the other four men were
given as Augustus Wilson. Henry Har-
don, William Potts and Robert Harrison.
They are between Is and 2l years of age.
They were very weary lot of men as
they sat beside the track when the ofli-
GERS from Montpelier nabbed them. They
denied any knowledge of the attempted
hold-up, but they admitted being at
Montpelier junction as late as $40
Tuesday evening, when they boarded
freight train, southbound.
That story is substantiated by the
conductor and brakeman of the train,
who state that just before reaching
Bethel they ordered the men off the
train. The men were riding on the en-
gine tender and Were found by the con-
duetor. The time OF their departure
from Montpelier Junction does not cor
respond with the time when DIR. Whitney

NOT MUCH RELIEF.
Afforded Granite Manufacturers of Barre
Today.

Conditions among the granite manu-
facturers dependent upon the Consol.
dated Lighting Co. for power showed
little change today, nearly the same
proportion of plants being shut down
because of the shortage. At the Pioneer
plant in Montpelier, electricians were
still engaged-on the repairs and at the
eompany's local offices today it was stat
ed that the troubles of the manufactur-
ers would in all probability be ended by
tomorrow. Repair men have been handi-
capped from IT,, outset by the necessity
of working only when the Pioneer plant
was shut down for the day That meant
that work on the machinery was de-
layed each day until O'Clock when
the manufacturing plants close down for
the day The turbine difficulties. which
originally caused the shortage of power,
have been adjusted and it now remains
only to complete the testing of the new
apparatus and to locate minor leaks
that have occurred in the vacmm pipes.
The company officials today continued
their policy of Withholding promises, but
they admitted that everything points to
a general resumption of work tomor-
row.
The following plants were idle today;
Canton Bros. Gasparelo Bros, Brown
Carroll Co., Guidiei Bros, Hoyt & Leb-
Novelli & Calcagni, Robins
Bros. j. p. Corskie & Son. John Brown,
Isaacson & Knutson, Littleiohn, 0dg-

following statement:
II believe this company is by far the
best company of signal corps in the en-
tire organized militia in the United
States, and | do not believe it can be
eXeelled in its type of company by any
troops in the regular service. The disci-
pline is excellent, and in my inspection
of these troops it is hard to realize that
| am not inspecting a company in the
regular army. For slertness and stten-
tion, and general efficiency they cannot
be eXcelled by any organization regard
less Of what branch of the service may
be considered.

ion Is not made by the national govern
ment to provide more literally for organ

ments, he thought he had been struck by
an automobile. He was attended by DIR.

suffering from shock and pain. 1t was
impossible to learn whether he had sus-
tanned internal injuries or not. His
clothing WIS torn.

by Motorman George Hillary of car No.
"a, inbound from Ethan Allen park, and
was lying face down in the roadway
near the south entrance to the orphan
age grounds. with his arms under his
head which was near the rail On ac-
count of Mr.. Bailey's position, the mot
orman did not see him in time to bring
the ear to stop until after he had
passed. He was conscious when Con-
ductor Andrew Martin and the motor
man picked him up and carried him to
the home Of Conductor Lloyd, short
distance, where the physician and the
ambulance were summoned
His assertion that an automobile
knocked him down was substantated by
the statements of the crew of the cleo
trc car to the effect that an automobile
going in the same direction as the car
had passed it short time before the
man was found.
