II is in one way disheartening for
Vermont farmers and gardeners to
have frost cut down their early crops
but, looked at in another way it is
creditable and encouraging. The
man who leaves his planting until af-
ter Decoration, who has no orchard
and who doesn't grow few flowers,
is not injured by late frost. but he
has also lost the pleasure and profit
of trying to make a success of his
garden in spite of the rigors of the
New England climate. The man who
makes a success in life is the man
who is able to overcome difficulties
and to push on in spite of all OBJ
stacles placed in his path. What's a
little old frost in the annals of eter-
nifty. If your crop is killed, plant 1t
over The only failure that is fatal
is to quit.

HoBoES PLACE FLOWERS ON
BODY OF UNIDENTIFIED MAN

Chicago hoboes will send an honor
guard to Arlington cemetery Satur-
day when the body that took part in
Miss Julia Choate Crumley's love af-
fair will be buried.
Miss Crumley came to Chicago
from Atlanta and claimed the body,
found following a railroad wreck, as
that of her fiance. She paid all ex-
penses and took the body back to
Atlanta, where she announced it was
that of her betrothed. She told such
a plausible story that all believed her
until some one noticed the death Ger
tifcate was dated several days before
the date Miss Crumley said her hus-
band-to-be was killed: Then she con-
feSsed it was all a romantic fake
and the body was shipped back to
Chicago. .
It is unidentified, but by coroner's
order will be kept till Saturday. JEFF
Davis, hobo king, offered to pay flu
neral expenses, but was told by the
undertaken that all expenses were
paid by Miss Crumley. The hobos
are sending flowers to its bier.

INDIANA POLITICIANS ARE
INDICTED IN VOTE PROBE
Thomas Taegart, Mayor Bell of lndi-

Grand jury.

indianapolis, June 24-ThOmas Tag
CART, Democratic national committee
man for Indiana; Mayor Joseph E.
Bell, Samuel Y. Perrott, chief Of po-
lice and 125 others we're indicted by
the Marion county grand jury here on
Tuesday, charged with conspiracy to
commit a felony through violation OF
election laws, bribery and blackmail.
Taggart and Bell were the first to &C
knowledge service in the case and
were released on $4,000 bond each.
Several other men appeared and were
released on bond.
The indictment caused a sensation.
While it has been rumored on the
streets for some time that several
men were to be indicted as a result of
an investigation of the last election, t
was not thought men so high in po-
liticaI councils would be included. Not
more than a dozen spectators were in
court when the grand jurors, accom-
panied by Alvah J. Rucker, prosecutor,
submitted the report to Judge James
A Collins of the criminal court.
More than a dozen members of
Mayor Bells official family were in
dicted and as many more members Of
the police force we're named. The 9TH
ers indicted included election officials,
ward and precinct leaders, workers
at the polls and voters.

Schedule of State Auto Roads.

The Wisconsin Advancement asso-
citation has prepared a preliminary
schedule of automobile roads through
the state. These roads will be
marked, each with its peculiar sign
so plain that the tourist will have to
make no stops nor ask questions.
The work of marking these roads
has already begun and the whole
series of routes will be marked with
in very short time. What 1t will
mean to the state in the future is sug-
gested by the profitable returns that
are being received in other states hav-
ing good summer resorts and other
attractions for the tourist.
It is admitted that for automobile
tourists Wisconsin has the advantage
in roads at the present time and con-
ditions permitting UNNECESSARILY bet
ter roads in the future than any
other state now prominent in the
summer tourist business.

with Germany and 10 the discussion
with Great Britain over Interference
with commerce between the United
States and neutral nations Of Europe.

the actual work on the note to Great
Britain now being prepared, but the
president has already gone over with
him the broad questions Of policy in
volved, and will see the note before 1t

there was a possibility of GeTmany's
submarine warfare being modified, but
refused to comment.
The president arrived Friday after

died in his godfather's arms.

Secretary Daniels Puts Action in So

Washington, June 24.-The Mexican
authorities in the state of Sonora,
where Americans are threatened with
determination by the Yaqui Indians.

rescue, that he must not land his
forces on Mexican soil. Secretary
Daniels said after receiving this in
formation on Tuesday that he would
not send Admiral Howard any further
instructions. The state and navy de-

to the discretion of Admiral Howard
whether or not he shall land and take
the consequences of his act.
