The call a been sent out. to all Of
the club owners and it is expected that
there will be a full attendance of the
maenates. as several matters of i'm
portance are due to come up for con-
sideration.
Another important matter is the
adoption OF the schedule for 1914. Mr..
De Cheveral of Superior has been
working on the playing sheet of the
coming season for a number Of weeks
and the rough draft of the schedule
is expected to be ready to present at
the Monday meeting.
n OF the other considerations that
is due to come before the magnates
is the pooling Of grandstand receipts
on holidays. There will be opposition,
1t is said, on the part Of the larger
city clubs. They claim that the small
er towns Of the circuit contribute too
small a part to this fund to permit
of their asking for a pool of the
grandstand as we'll as the cheaper adj
missions.

r, Howarth, an attorney at law, and
Lindley Cain. a messenger of the su-
perior court for Windham county, were
arrested by State Police Officer Robert
Hurley here yesterday, charged with

is in session, and they were taken be-
fore the court. Bonds were fixed at
&1eGo0 each. and neither was able to
furnish security on such short notice.
Both Howarth and Cain are well
known and their arrests created a
great stir. The police have no infor-
nation to give out at this time. The
principal allegation is that the two
men are responsible for numerous
fires during the last 10 months. The
origin Of these fires was a mystery.
The losses in the fires aggregated

on November . last, which swept the

April. 10 automobiles were burned two
of them belonging to Howarth.

automobile with two newspaper cor
respondents, Harry X. Thaw crossed the
Connecticut river this morning at l0.l0
and stopped for a short time in West
Stewartstown, y. II.
Leaving Nortons Mills, where he had
been taken by the Canadian immigra-
tion officers, Thaw entered the cores
pondents' automobile and proceeded to
Averill, small country village where
he had breakfast at the inn. From
there they passed through Canaan and
across the river.
Thaw 5 haste in leaving Vermont was
probably due to his knowledge that a
warrant for his arrest was awaiting
service III this state. Thaw had no plans
for the future. His deportation was a
great surprise and he was in state Of
great excitement during his flight
across Vermont. Up to the time that
he crossed the Connecticut river nc
steps had been taken to interfere with
his flight, The state authorities ap-
parently have not been informed of
his presence.
