SEEK GIRLS ASSAILANT.
Barre Police Have Been Working on the
Case Three Days

Barre police are looking for the per-
petratnr of one Of the most revolving
statutory assaults that has ever come
under official notice. Nearly three days
have elapsed since little Eva John, seven
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Amos
John Of 40 Prospect street, was lured to
a grove at the west end of Hope GENE
terry and there assaulted Hoping that
policy of silence might aid them in the
search for the guilty one. the officers
maintained silence about the affair un-
til to-day. Efforts are still being made
to identify the ehild's assailant, but thus
far the attempts made to implicate GER
tain persons have been unsuccessful be-
cause of the child's failure to recognize
in any OF the suspects the man who in
weighed her into accompanying him to
the burial ground in broad daylight
According to the child's story she was
walking along North Main street on the
afternoon of July 4 when she was ac-
costed by man who Offered her money
TO go with him TO Hope cemetery. In
enough, she assented, and the
pair. were soon travelling along Brook
street toward the graveyard When al
lowed to go she ran home, and her par
ants, realizing her condition, summoned
a physician. Policemen were notified at
once and within few hours a search !
was under way.

c. w. GATES A SPEAKER.
Vermont Road Commissioner at A. A. A
Meeting.

Maplewood, N. H., July THE an
nual midsummer meeting of the Amer
ican Automobile association ended yes
terday with general discussion OF good
roads.
Addresses descriptive OF good roads
movements were delivered by ex-Con.
gresham Samuel l.. Powers Of Boston
state Engineer 5. Percy Hooker OF New
Hampshire and by State Highway Com
missioner Charles w. Gates OF Vermont
Gov. Samuel D. Felker of New Hamp-
shire, who welcomed the tourists in be-
half Of the state, described the interest
which New Hampshire holds for the de-
velopment OF highways.
At the final business meeting resolu-
tions were adopted in favor of uni
versal wheel license, against unjust dis
elimination against automobilists, and
in favor Of the regulation Of individuals
in their use Of the highways.
1t was voted to annu the contem-
plated tour to the San Francisco expo
sition and to devote the energies OF the
association to routing the principal ma
tional highways and to the establish
ment of rendezvous for the members in
San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle.
In his address Gov. FeIker said three
trunk lines have been constructed from
the northern end of New Hampshire to
the Massachusetts line and that various
eross-state lines have been built on
state-aided basis. Only three towns de-
INJURED against paying their proportion
ate share, he said
Congressman Powers, who is pres
ident Of the Metropolitan Motor asso-
citation in the Metropolitan district of
Boston. described the condition of those
roads as deplorable because of the tre-
mendous amount of traffic to which they
are subjected. But for the most part,
he said, Massachusetts leads the Union
in the attention it affords to its high
ways.
Commenting upon the policy of fed
eral aid, Mr.. Powers said that the ma
tional government probably will require
the states to raise an amount at least
equivalent to the amount appropriated
by the nation.
State Engineer Hooker recommended
he construction Of low-cost roads, aver
aging $4,000 mile for the smaller states |
hat have comparatively small valua-
ions. He said that his experience as
'tate commissioner of highways Of New /
made manifest to him that /
he roads which cost more than $4,000 I
/ mile are the roads that also cost the
most to maintain.
Though New Hampshire has valua-
ion Of but s400,000.000 and has 1900 I
niles Of highways, the state has main
aimed its roads from the automobile liz
cnses.
