LEFT A TRAIL
OF BAD CHECKS
Man Caught and Then Released in St
Albans Is Much Wanted-Another
Merchant Tells of His Loss.

st. Albans, April 9.--It developed to-
day that the man who passed an appar-
emily worthless check on c. l.. Curtis
Tuesday afternoon and who, when
caught at the railroad station as he was
about to leave for Montreal, settled for
the check and was allowed to go, was
no new hand at the game. Another st.
Adams merchant has come forward with
a statement that he was victimized by
the same man, and Rutland merchant
telephoned that ne had been victimized
and wanted to knor if the fellow was
arrested.
The stranger gave the name of J. j.
MaeCormock and said he was school
teacher by occupation. He was about
So years old and apparently in good cir
cumstances. The check which was
passed on Mr.. Curtis was drawn in fa-
vor of J. j. Mccormick by A. A. North,
treasurer. on the Alton, N. Y, bank.
Word came from Alton that the check
was worthless, and further information
said that a worthless check of like ma :
ture had been fioated in Alton. The
Welden bank of this city, which COM
municated with the Alton bank, has
placed the matter in the hands of the
banking detective agency.

young Malta Portaluppi had fractured
his right leg when the. young man. sud-
denly stumbled while turning Il stone
this morning and fell to the ground.
Apparently the stone fell squareIy across
the workman's limb and those who
rushed to his assistance expected TO
find the leg crushed and the bone broken.
Portaluppi seemed to be suffering a
good deal of pain and hurry call
brought Badger 6 Co.'S ambulance to
the meadow. ready. to carry the injured
man to the hospital. Thither he was
rushed with little delay.
At the City hospital DR. William Ne.
Farland examined the mans injuries and
found he had narrowly escaped frac-
ture. The limb was badly bruised but
the stone had evidently struck glanc-
ing blow. as the bone was uninjured. IL
was said this forenoon that Portaluppi
might be discharged from the hospital
late this afternoon. although he win be
unable to use the leg for some time
The accident occurred around o'clock
this morning. Portaluppi lives at s

CAUGHT BY HIS BoNDSMAN.
Slim Braxton Couldn't Elude Search of
Joseph Agel of Burlington.

Burlington, April 9.-Slim Braxton
was lodged in the Chittenden county jail
at midnight last night, having been ar
rested at a small town north of New
York City Tuesday afternoon on war
rant for relief of bail The man was ar
rested largely through the efforts of his
bondsman, Joseph Agel.
Braxton was follower of the 10th
cavalry for years and soon after the sol
diers arrived here he located at a place
on the Colchester road near the Fanny
Allen hospital. His place attracted the
attention. of the authorities and was
raided again and again, but Braxton
paid his fines and seemed inclined to re-
main. On the occasion of his last arrest
Imprisonment, if convicted, stared him
in the face and he was placed under bail
|of 81 900. which was furnished by Joseph
Agel. When court time came around
Braxton was missing and it was not
long before the state began proceedings
to collect the bail Mr.. Agel immediate
ly got busy and found Braxton had gone
to Canada He followed the man there
and succeeded in obtaining his arrest by
the Dominion authorities and deporta-
tion as an undesirable alien. Agel, with
his man, started for home and had
reached the town of Colchester when
Braxton asked for drink of water. He
was given permission to get it and With
in few seconds from the time he had
left his seat he had jumped from the
train.
Repeated search of the country in the
vicinity failed to reveal his whereabouts
and it was not until long time after
wards that it was ascertained that he
managed to get to New York state,
where he took train for New York
City Mr.. Agel hired detectives to watch
the places where Slim was apt to hang
out and soon got into touch with him
but Slim was elusive and managed to
keep out of the way. When the 10th
cavalry left Fort Ethan Allen and sailed
from New York, Slim was at the wharf
to bid them goodbye and was seen by
several Burlingtonians. Recently, Mr..
Agel followed up another clue as to
where to capture Braxton, the same
being received in an anonymous letter
from Yonkers, n. Y, and this led to the
arrest.

An Informal Conference by
City Officials to Consid-
er Reckless Driving
POLICE Tr lw WARMED
TO III CLOSELY
Grand Juror Wishart Ex-
plains Statute to City
Council Members

Last night the city council revived the
year-od custom OF calling together the
aldermen and heads of the several mu-
nicipal departments in an informal con
ference which was held in the council
chamber. The mayor was present, but
the council did not 90 into session. In
stead there was an entirely informal
discussion of matters pertaining to the
maintenance and conduct of the different
departments. Grand Juror William
Wishart was called in to explain the
statutes relating to the governing of
automobiles when in motion on the
streets. Mr. Wishart explained the
meaning of various clauses in the law
and outlined the lengths to which the
city may properly go in regulating the
speed OF motor vehicles.
1t is a matter of common knowledge
that in the past more or less difficulty
has been encountered in prosecuting Of
Tenders OF this kind. Last year, as in
other seasons since automobiles became
a factor in transportation, laws restrict
ing speed have been ruthlessly violated,
Right here in Barre the mania for fast
driving has manifested itself in unnum-
bered instances. Serious accidents and
even fatalities in numbers of cases, it is
claimed, have been caused by reckless
driving. Before the season of 1914 is
well under way then. the council has
expressed a desire to regulate auto driv-
ing.
The statute places the limit at 10
miles per hour and gives the city coun-
ell or the board of aldermen authority
to fix the limit al lower figure if con-
ditions warrant. At the conference last
evening there seemed to be a feeling
that 10 miles is not too speedy if the
drivers are competent enough to guide
their cars 1t is said that prosecutions
for over-speeding have usually been
postponed in cases where the respond
cnts pleaded not guilty. In other words
only those who have pleaded guilty to
such offenses have been fined. Very fire.
quently after arrests have been made,
have been held up for lack
proof OF over-speeding or recklessness
Only recently the aldermanic police
committee has caused to be manufac-
tured number of signs that were ap-
proved at the conference. Within few
days these signs viii be located in sec
tions of the city where careful driving
is essential to the safety of pedestrians.
The signs are designed especially for
use near schoolhouses. They bear such
as this: "Schoolhouse, Slow
Down" The police have been asked to
renew their vigilance and the public at
large is asked TO be ready to aid the
in abating the speed nuisance
in 1914.
