PlalnVlue News HAND HEAVY IN "JITNEY" CASE Couinsville Man Found Guilty and
 Fined on Six Counts
 HIS PENALTIES TOTAL S49

This Does Not Include Costs of Pros-
 ecution-Gilyard Sent to Jail-
 Twentieth Century Ike Waltons Re-
 turn to Town With String of Rass
 It isn't profitable to ,trample on the law in Plainville. Carl Rhoades, the Colicsvile jitney driver, learned this yesterday afternoon, when he was found guilty on six different counts by Justice A. H. Condell, the charges embracing breach of peace, intoxication, driving a motor vehicle with insufficient lights, operating a motor vehicle while under the influ- ence of liquor and refusing to sign his name to a paper when ordered to by a policeman. RhOades was represent ed by Attorney Joseph G. Woods of New Britain and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Prosecutor James Mather of the Bristol city court rep resented the state. good sized gallery of spectators was in court to witness proceedings.
 Officier Marine was the chief wit ness for the state. He arrested Rhoadcs the night of August 17 and lodged charges of breach of peace intoxicatiCn, driving without lights and also driving while under the in- l fluence of intoxicating liquor. That was the night Rnoades took his, car l from Cooke's garage after Officer Ma rino took it from him and placed it in the garage for the nght. Attor- ney Woods put on several witnesses, | I four counts
 l Justice COndell fined him $40 and costs on the charge of operating a l motor vehicle while under the influ- ence of liquor, but finding this pen 1 atty exceeded the power of the court amended it to $25 and costs. The pen alty for breach of peace was $5, in- toxication $2 and driving without proper lights $2.
 Rhoades was also charged with vii plating the laws on August 25. The charges were failure to have proper lights burning and refusing to sign his name when ordered by Officer Marine. He was fined $5 on the first count and $10 on the second. The defense offered testimony to show that an accident was responsible for the light being out and that when the arrest was made Rhoades was wait ing for a boy who had been dis patcned to secure oil. He claimed not to have understood the officers orders and that he was unable to write his nane as commanded. At torney Woods entered appeals on all convictions and bonds were fixed $500. Justice Condell would not per init Mrs. Rhoades to act as bonds man and John Cope of Unionville was finally secured.
 Jail for Gilyard.
 James Gilyard, who beat his wife and created a disturbance at the All deridge block early yesterday morn ing, was charged With .intoxication and breach of peace.

NOTE SENT TO
AUSTRIA AN
ULT|MATUM
Severance Of Diplomatic Re-
laiions With Vienna May
Follow Communication Up.
on the Ancona Affair

Washington, Dec. 10.-The note
this government sent Austria In pro-
test against Austrian destruction Of
the Italian liner Ancona, with loss Of
American lives, is practically an ul-
timatum, 1t was learned authorita-
lively here today.
America, 1t was stated reliably, has
placed her self In position to sever
diplomatic relations IL Vienna does
not accede to the demands made up
on her.
At the same time, 1t was under
stood that President Wilson had de-
cided that Austrian Consul-General
Nuber Of New York must quit his SER
vice In this country. Evidence against
him concerning activities displeasing
to the administration has been accu-
mulating long time. but action has
been postponed for reasons best
known to the administration.
The demands In the note are strong
and an immediate reply is required.
Not only does the document demand
everything which 1t asked in the last
Lusitania note. but 1t exceeded the
strength OF the latter in demanding
punishment OF the submarine COM
mander. II Is understood that the
administration supposed 1t was not
necessary to start from the beginning
with Austria. because the latter is
familiar with notes passing between
Germany and America on the sub
marine subject. Certainly. the ad-
ministration will tolerate no delays
such as marked the negotiations over
the Lusitania case. Circumstances
connected with the Ancona incident
indicated that the shelling Of the ves-
sci was unnecessary and that, in ad-
dition. little attention was paid to
the safety of passengers. according to
state department officials.

DESTROYED CITY
OF HOPEWELL IS
Scene OF R|OT|NC

Hopewell, Va, Dec. 10.---The Du-
Pont powder works on the edge Of
this wartime boom town, with few
scattered residences, loomed up to-
day amid charred and smoking ruins
all that was left from yesterdays
confiagration. A dense pillar Of
smoke marked the funeral pyre OF
the city.
But the fire which swept this place
almost of the map did not kill the
spirit Of Its $4,000 pioneers who had
builded 1t in few weeks on the
strength OF war orders. They set to
work to reconstruct 1t along more
permanent. and substantial lines.
Temporary shacks in town and at
Petersburgh and City Point housed
refugees who shivered under the sting
OF cold wave. Firemen still played
streams of water upon so acres Of
smouldering debris to prevent sparks
from igniting the powder works.
Not until late last night did they
succeed in controlling the blaze. Sew
eral times 1t threatened to spread to
the powder factory.
Wild disorder followed. The city.
like new Alaskan gold camp. har-
bored within its gates adventures
and bad men following in the wake
Of the boom. A negro caught looting
was lynched just as two companies
of crack militia from Richmond pull
ed into town. Special policemen had
their hands full to check disorder un-
til the soldiers arrived.
More than 800 homes, 1t was es-
timated today. went up in smoke,
leaving thousands homeless.

The Mexicans may not know what

I mean is to be democrat. believe
in the common man, and believe that
he ought to be consulted as to how
he is to be governed. and that he

as every other man."
Turning to the question Of inter-
national relations, the president de-
clared;
II do not believe theer is going to
be any patch-up peace. believe that
every man In every country wants a
universal fellowship that never can
be broken. Instrumentalities Of JUS
tice will be exacted above those OF

poise and self-possession, she may
have the privilege Of being the me-
dating influence in showing the
world that here Is a country which
has always wanted better feeling In

countries"
From this subject, he reverted to
the country's financial situation. de-
claring that for the ilrst time in his
tory this nations credit Is current,
