MANY MORE COMMITMENTS.
To House Of Correction, Due to the New
Tramp Law.

Rutland, Jan. 1.-The new law proyid-
ing that tramps shall serve sentences at
the house of correction instead of in
county jails and making the minimum
sentence for which offenders shall be
committed to the house of correction
three months instead of six months
made a big difference in the number OF
commitments at the state institution
during 1913. The entries on Superin-
tendent Merton III. Loukes' books show
100 commitments for the year just clos
ing, in comparison with 35 for 1912
To-day there are l46 prisoners confined
in the house of correction and county
jail combined, 10 of them being women.
Twenty-seven women in all were COM
mitted during the last IL months.
The commitments for 1913 by months
were as follows; January, 2; February,
A; March, 10; April, 81; May, 20 June,
10; July, Is; August, ~; September, 9;
October, %; November, "a; December,
rs.
The offenses charged against the un-
fortunates were as follows: Vagrancy,
65; illegal LIQUOR selling, So; lewdness,
A; adultery, l3; burglary, 10; violating
parole, g.; breaking jail, 2; forgery, q;
larceny, l6 breach of the peace, lS;
keeping house of i'll fame, 4 receiving
stolen goods, Q; street walking, 5; 81
ing mortgaged property, contempt OF
court, peddling without license, horse
stealing, arson, pointing firearms, aiding
escaped prisoner, obtaining money under
false pretenses, one each.
The commitments to the Rutland coun-
ty Jail in 1918 numbered 452 in COM
parison with 505 during 1912. In 1913
cases intoxication was charged. The po-
lice of Rutland made 434 arrests in
1918. This is 60 less than the previous
year, the new law permitting the city
court to send drunkards to the state
hospital for the insane at Waterbury
being assigned as the cause Of the de-
crease in city court business.

REBELS GROW IN STRENGTH
Seem in Fair Way to Defeat Federals
at Oiinaga.

Presidio, Texas, Jan. latter with
standing bullets, shells and shrapnel
poured in on them from the rebels, the
federal army at 0jinaga, Mexico, last
night wee still extrenched within the
village, but in the opinion of military
experts with small hope of beating back
the attacking force. Gen. Torribio Or
tega's 5000 rebels, scattered over the
surrounding hills after driving the 4,000
federals from all their outposts and into
the shelter of the adobe buildings
and inner trenches, were beginning to
advance their artillery with view to
demolishing the horse corral and other
loop-hole buildings, where the bulk of
the federals were housed.
Numbers oil the federal = officers, in
cluding Gen. Marcello Caraveo, COM
mander of volunteers, were reported to
have been killed or wounded. Much of
the rebel cavalry fire had no effect but
when General 0rtega put into action the
field pieces brought from Chihuahua,
the outlying adobe houses crumbled,
leaving clear range into the heart of
the settlement.
How many dead or wounded resulted
from the preliminary skirmishes with
the field pieces it was impossible to
learn. They were not believed to be
heavy, however, as most of the huts
had been abandoned by the federals.
The federals, though inferior in num-
bers, had the advantage in position, be-
cause from the village they were able
to sweep the valley commanding the
approach. Despite the belief that they
were running short of ammunition, the
federals showed a revived determine
tion to make plueky stand.
One of their shells burst on an oppo-
site hill where a body of rebels had
ascended to command a range on the
federals. The explosion caused a sour
rying of rebels and left number on
the ground,
The 60 hours of fighting so far as was
observable was indecisive except that
the rebels were steadily gaining ground,
while the operation of the federals was
becoming more limited. To frighten
the rebels into retreat into Texas, and
thus end the battle without a prolonged
siege or without the fatal results of
close encounter, was obviously the pur-
pose of the rebel commanders. Three
or four federals, who came into Ameri-
can territory, said they had seen as
many as several hundred dead, lying
near one place. They say the rank of
the federal army was fighting without
enthusiasm, that all the wounded were
left uncared for, that because of dis
putes between the volunteers and the
regulars the army was without organ
ization and that many of the men
wished TO desert, but were prevented
from doing SO by fear that they would
be shot by their own officers.

PARTNER AND $1,000 GONE.
Firm of Ainsworth g. MarteIl Conse-
quently in Difficulties.

( Brattleboro, Jan. Frank Martell of
the firm of Ainsworth & Martel, propri-
etors of prosperous general store in
the Fort Dummer Heights district, dis
appeared on Monday night and ST.
900 of the firms money is alleged to be
missing. Martell took his oldest daugh-
ter with him. Mrs. Martell, who does
not speak English, was deserted and left
with four young children. She sold her
furniture and left town yesterday. She
insisted that she does not know the
whereabouts of her husband and oldest
child. 1t is believed that Martell board
ed the late train for the north Monday
night and has reached Canada.
Enoch Ainsworth of the firm has been
out of town considerably of late and
left the management of the store to his
partner. Monday he asked Martell why
some bills for stock had not been paid
and Martell replied that he had the
money in his pocket and was going to
pay them that afternoon. 1t has been
learned that Martell that evening called
on many of the customers of the store
and collected every dollar he could get,
Monday having been pay day at the
Fort Dummer mill His partner, who
did not discover that Martell had de-
camped until yesterday morning, says
that there is no question but that Mar
tell had all of 81 900 with him. He even
took money that had been left at the
store by family to pay for ton of
coal which was to have been delivered
to them yesterday.
The Dewitt Grocery company placed
an attachment on the store yesterday
and George Goodenough was installed as
keeper. There is disposition on the
part of the creditors to give Mr. Aims
worth a chance to s'-aighten out the
matter and negotiations to that effect
are expected to reach satisfactory con-
clusion within day or two.

ANOTHER PETITION DISMISSED.
Arthur Bosworth's Friends Failed
Before Judge ]. L. Martin.

Brattleboro, Jan. 1.--Judge James l..
Martin of the United States district
court yesterday dismissed a petition for
writ of habeas corpus for Arthur Bos-
worth, murderer of Mae Labelle, who is
condemned to be executed Friday. 1t
was apparently the last determined
move of Attorney Roland E. Stevens of
White River Junction and Rev. Parker
&c. Manner, rector of the Episcopal
church in Windsor, who is the spiritual
advisor of the condemned man, to delay
the execution They presented the pc
tition in chambers.
The petition alleged that owing to
the failure of the last legislature to give
Bosworth hearing he had not obtained
his constitutional rights.
Judge Martin ruled that it was not a
matter for the federal courts and that
any claim of a constitutional violation
in the nature of what counsel claimed
if it did come to the federal court, could
come only 20 the supreme court of the
United States. He expressed the opin-
ion that Bosworth had been fairly treat
ed by the state courts.

! The merry click of billiard balls in
Levi Bianchi's place in the SangiIinetti
block at 1923 North Main street was
rndely interrupted at o'clock last night
when detail of policemen entered the
front door. New Years chatter that
ran along the pool and billiard tables
suddenly ceased and the bystanders be-
gan to move toward the door. But the
officers told the fun-makers to keep
| their places while search for intoxi-
eating liquor was started. Officers Har-

to accompany them to police headquar-
ters. A barge from the Jones a. Nye
stable was chartered to transport the
wet goods, and the procession started
back to the station at $40. The excite
ment over, the worries began to describe
their peculiar courses over the green
cloth, and things became serene again.

where he furnished bail before Judge
II. W. Scott in the sum of $500 for a.
hearing to be held in his case some time
soon. A definite date will be fixed this
