HER DIAMONDS GONE.
Countess Alexandria Nicholas Accuses
Her Benefactress.

Rutland, Aug. 2l.-There is rift
within the lutte performed upon jointly
by Countess Alexandria Nicholas, for
merly OF this city, and DIR. Mary Walker,
the celebrated woman's rights advocate
and dress reformer, who recently took
the countess to her home at Oswego,
n. Y, for medical treatment, and as a
result the harmony of the duet furnish
ed by this well-known pair of artists is
much impaired. The countess is no
longer living with her would-be bene-
factor at Oswego and for very good
reason as she has accused DIR. Walker of
what would be substantially theft if
proved. Countess Nicholas has recent
~ secured a search warrant for the pur-
pose OF looking through the effects of
the doctor whom she charges with seal
ing diamonds, silver and other valuables.
Ii is known that DIR. Walker in her
answer to these charges alleges that her
former patient is insane and that she
did not have the valuables she claims to
have lost. In a counter charge the wom-
ans rights advocate declares that she
herself was financial sufferer from the
stay of the Rutland woman, that the
countess did not pay for her own and
her attendants board and room and that
she did numerous other things cal
culated to anger and annoy. While the
New York state authorities evidently do
not take a very serious view of the
charges, an investigation viii doubtless
be necessary.
The jewelry which the countess al
leges she lost is valued at $3.50. 1t is
known that her benefactor declares
Countess Nicholas had before going to
Oswego told of the theft of the valu-
ables she now charges against her hos
tess. An effort is being made in this
city to get the testimony of intimates
who heard the local woman say this
DIR. Walker came to this city some
weeks ago and took the countess and
Mrs. Mary Realms to her private sana-
torium at Oswego. The countess was at
the time destitute and also evidently
without funds. At present she is lv-
ing across the street from her erstwhile
Countess Nicholas has been
more or less in the public eye for years.

st. Albans, Aug. 2l.-After partial
hearings held before Probate Judge O. n.

will of the late Theodore j. Houghton,
an aged man who died in st. Albans on
July 27, is to be contested A hearing
this morning, which was continued from
last Friday, was again continued 10
Sept. 20. John Branch will be appointed

this city, with whom T. j. Houghton
lived during the last few years of his

NO RAIN FOR THREE MONTHS.
Section About Middlebury Is Getting
Very Parched

Middlebury, Aug 2l-The drouth in
this part of the state has become more
serious as it is about three months since
any rain has fallen except two small
showers and one of more benefit. The
crops have dried up badly in many sec
tons and the harvest will certainly be
far below the average as even a proper
rainfall now would be too late to save
them. The indications are that there
will not be half a crop of potatoes un-
usually small in size although the
quality may be good. There is some
prospect of fairly good corn crop but
even the corn is suffering from the long
lack of water.

HIT BY soo-PoUND HoD.
workmen Hurt on New Dam Being Con-
structed at Winooslxi Gorge.

Winooski. Aug. 2l.-kuzna Protaeh
was injured yesterday afternoon while
at work on the new dam under con-
struction at the gorge. He was taken
to the Fanny Allen hospital, where he
was resting comfortably last evening.
He was walking along with wheelbar-
row when the hod used to carry stone
on the overhead cable was let down and
struck him glancing blow in the back.
The hod weighed about 500 pounds. His
injuries consisted of badly bruised
back and shoulders, several cuts on the
head and possibly broken ribs. The man
is a foreigner and the interpreter is
unable to understand just the informa-
tion wanted by the doctors to determine
his full injuries, but it is thought that
he will recover.

Pres. Huerta Thinks Rebel
lion Would Have Been
Put Down
IF WILSON HAD GIVEN
HIM RECOGNITION
Four Proposals of United
States, Rejected in Toto,
Announced

Mexico City, Aug. 2l.-The proposals
of the Washington government, which
Mexico rejected in tota, were: First,
complete cessation of hostilities; second,
that President Huerta resign in favor
of a president ad interim; third, the fix
ing OF an early date for the presidential
elections and fourth, that General
Huerta should not be a candidate for
the presidency.
An additional feature of the American
note was the request for reply to
the question as to what, in the opinion
of General Huerta, the present condi-
tions were due and what the remedy.
General Huerta's fiat refusal to aecede
to the four demends would appear to be
sufficient reason to consider that the ne.
gotiations between the two governments
were definitely concluded, but in reply
ing to Washington's pointed request for
an explanation regarding conditions in
Mexico and the cause, General Huerta
himself injected into the controversy
what might be regarded as counter de-
mand, namely that of recognition.
In general way, President Huerta
places the blame for Mexieo's civil war
upon the United States. He insists that
had it not been for President Wilson's
refusal TO recognize his administration,
he would long ago have suppressed the
rebellion, and even now, he asserts, the
United States can indirectly enable him
to restore order in comparatively short
time. He asks of the United States gov
ernment only recognition and the with
drawal OF the American battleships.
Well-informed Mexicans and foreign
residents see little probability of further
negotiations, although it is conceded
that there is an element within the gov
ernment that would keenly welcome
fresh overtures on the part of Wash.
ington. This group is composed of those,
who, it is assumed, believe that the gov
ernment went too far in its reply. Prac-
tically all Mexicans regard General Huer-
ta's action as patriotic, but there are
many who regard it as far from wise \
Certain well-informed Mexicans say it
would be no surprise to them if the gov
ernment of Mexico submitted to Mr..
Lind some proposition which might serve
as a basis upon which to renew the ne
gotiations.

VERMONT WOULD
SEND THAW
TO NEW YORK
Believes Attorney General Brown, Who
Gives His Opinion in. Case Thaw
Should Be Sent Into the United
States BY Way Of Vermont.

Rutland, Aug 2l.--If by any interpre-
tation of the immigration laws of the
Dominion of Canada Harry r. Thaw
the slayer of Stanford White, now held
sat Sherbrooke, p O., pending possible
deportation, is permitted to enter Yer
mont instead of being surrendered TO
the state of New York, he will undoubt
edly step into a trap which is fairly
sure to result in his return to the Mat
teawan hospital for the criminal insane.
This is the view that Attorney General
Rufus +. Brown of Burlington takes of
the possible entrance of Thaw into Yer
mont.
Mr.. Brown, who was in the city in
consultation with States Attorney Bort
l.. Stafford concerning the two Rutland
county murder cases, said that should
Thaw succeed in getting into Vermont
there is no reason to believe that this
state would decline to honor the requisi-
ton of the state of New York pro-
vided an attempt should be made TO
eXtradite Thaw on criminal charge,
such as conspiracy, of which it is al
legged, he is guilty in making his es-
cape from Matteawan. Should Thaw
be in Vermont and the state of New
York seek to have him surrendered sim
ply on the ground that he has escaped
from an insane asylum, it would prob
ably be an altogether different matter,
said Mr.. Brown.
Personally, had / any authority and
in case I should be called upon to ex-
ercise it, l would surrender Thaw to
the state of New York. | consider him
not only as undesirable but danger
Gus person" The attorney general fur
ther said that he could hardly see how
Thaw by any legal means could get into
Vermont though he may have entered
Canada through the port of entry ut
Beecher Falls in the town of Canaan.
as it is believed by many that he did
Mr.. Brown thinks that the Canadian
government will take practically the
same stand in Thaw's case.
"While Canada does not want Thaw
on the grounds that he is an mdesir-
able alien, think the Dominion govern
ment will honor the requisition of the
state of New York when it is settled
as to who may have authority as gov
ernor of that state to issue a requisition
for this man." said Mr.. Brown. The
attorney general said that he did not
presume to speak for the state of Yer
mont or to outline any possible action
that Governor Fletcher would take
should occasion arise for the state of
New York TO make demand upon the
state of Vermont for Thaw. but he felt
safe in predicting that Governor Fletch-
er is sufficiently interested in assisting
any of the commonwealths of this coun-
try to carry out their laws so that he
would honor a requisition for extradi-
ton if made in proper form.
