WOMAN FINED $3.50.
Her Attorney Then Gave Notice Case
Would be Fought Further.

A fine OF $3.50 and costs, with an alter.
native sentence in the house Of correc-
ton in Rutland not to exceed three
years, was imposed by Magistrate II. w
Scott In city court Wednesday afternoon
on Mrs. Mary John, convicted at jury
trial in the forenoon of selling liquor
Illegally. The passing of sentence fol-
lowed the motion Of r.. A. Hoar, attor-
ney for the respondent, for an arrest
of judgment, which was argued at some
length by Mr.. Hoar and Grand Juror
William Wishart, who conducted the
prosecution.
Judge Scott overruled the motion and
when counsel for the defense announced
his decision to argue exceptions taken
during the trial in supreme court, the
respondent was admitted to bail Of $500
with $50 additional on the liquor seized
when officers raidea her premises on
Prospect street last week. Bail for Mrs.
John was furnished and she was released.

NEW, COMMANDER
OF BRITISH IN WEST
is GENERAL HAIG
Succeeds Field Marshall Sir John French,
Who Has Had Charge of British
Expeditionary Forces There
Since the War Started.

London, Dec l6--General Sir Douglas
faig, who in November, 1914, was raised
from the rank of lieutenant general To
general for distinguished service in the
field, is to be the commander -in-chief OF
the British forces in France and Bel
lgium.
Announcement was made last night
that General Haig had been appointed to
succeed Field Marshal Sir John French,
who has headed the expeditionary forces
on the continent since the war began.
That there might be change in the
lsupreme British command on the west
ern front had been limited for some time.
These hints increased with the recent
appointment of General Joffre as COM
mander-in-c OF the French army
That the elevation of General Joffre
had no bearing on the substitution of
General Haig for Field Marshal French,
however, was announced yesterday in the
House of Commons by Premier Asquith.
Last Monday Sir Edward Andrew Corn
will asked the government during the
session Of the House for information as
to whether General Joffre's appointment
would neeessitate any important changes
in the higher commands of the British
force. The premier at that time de-
clined to make answer. Yesterday, how
ever, he brought up the matter by say
ing:
"Some changes are in the course OF
being made and will be announced all
most Immediately. They have no con-
nection Of any kind with the changes
made by the French government with
regard to General Joffre's functions"
Field Marshal French was at his own
request relieved of the command of the |
British forces in France and Flanders. |
He becomes commander -in-chief of the |
armies of the United Kingdom, and for
his 10 months service at the front has
been created viscount o. the United
Kingdom, the king conferring this hon
or.
Although many names had been mem
toned as the possible successor of Field
Marshal French, including that OF the
luke of Connaught, the appointment, it
s said, was anticipated in the best in
'ormed circles.
Sir Douglas Haig is nine years younger
han his former chief, and, like him,
Won his spurs as cavalry officer. His
irst commission was in the 7th Hussars,
md, as has been the case with most Brit
sh officers of higher rank, he saw service ,
n the Soudan, india and Africa. He ,
vas chief staff officer to Sir John French
uring the Coleburg operation, when the 9
British cavalry had difficult task IN a
rying to round up the mobile Boer COM .
landees. Later he was given command
[ group Of columns and, after the {
outh African war, was made Inspector I
eneral of cavalry in India, one of the
iost coveted commands for cavalry off
srs in the British service. IN
After a few years Of staff duty in Eng a
ind he became chief OF staff in India G
nd at the outbreak of the war was h
eneral officer commanding at Alder n
not. From there he took the first army d
, France.

ARM BROKEN IN SHAFTING.
James Daniels Injured at Mari & Gordon
Plant.

James Daniels, aged 10, son of, Alex.
ander Daniels Of $40 North Main street
sustained painful injuries at the Gran
ite street plant Of Marr & Gordon late
yesterday afternoon, when his clothing
became caught in shafting. The mech
anism was in motion and had IL not been
for prompt action on the part of William
Enislie and other men employed in that
section of the shed, the young fellows
injuries would have been much more se-
rious.
DR.. j. A. Wark, who was summoned
to the shed, found that Daniels had
fracture Of the right arm.
There were lacerations about the same
limb. Daniels was taken to his home,
where the fracture was reduced. 1t is
thought that he will recover completely
from the effects of the accident, al.
though it will take many weeks for the
arm bone to mend.

AUSTRIA QUIBBLES
AND ASKS PARLEY
Text of Vienna's Rejoinder
Had Not Been Received
This Morning, Although 1t
Was Reported to Have
Been Delivered to Penfield
Tuesday

Washington, D. C., Dec. 16.-Eariy to-
day the state department had no official
word from Vienna whatever on Austria's
reply to the Ancona note. Secretary
Lansing read the news dispatches con-
tanning excerpts of the Austrian rejoind-
er but reserved comment until the full
official text is received.
1t was made clear authoritatively,
however, that if the whole text of the
reply was in the same tone as the .cabled
extract it would be regarded by the
United States as unsatisfactory. 1t was
made plain that the United States will
not accept the suggestion Of entering
into diplomatic correspondence which
may be prolonged.
One official Of the state department,
who spoke with full knowledge, said the
United States would not enter into any
exchange of opinion as the reply suggests
and would absolutely refuse to enter into
any discussion of the facts. President
Wilson read the news dispatches but
there was no indication how he regarded
the situation.

London, Dec. l6--The Austro- Hunga-
rian reply TO the United States note rel
ative to the sinking Of the steamer An
coma by an Austrian submarine was
handed to Ambassador Penfleld at Wen
ma on Tuesday, according TO an Amster-
dam dispatch.
The note claims the American govern
ment is not clear as to the actual cir
cumstanees on which it relies. 1t also
omits TO indicate the persons whose
statements il apparently believes more
trustworthy than the commander Of the
submarine. No explanation is given as
to the number, the names and the de-
tails concerning the fate Of the American
citizens on board.
The Austrian government is prepared
to esiter into an exchange Of opinion but
Washington must draw up an individual
legal declaration which the comman-
der OF the submarine is alleged TO have
violated when sinking the Ancona.

ORGANIZED MILITIA
DIVIDE S4,OOO,OOO
New Works Share in Federal
Appropriations $4,000
More Than Last Year.

Washington, Feb. II. Four million
dollars. this years Federal appropria-
ton 10 aid the organized militia, was
apportioned to-day by Secretary CART
son. Half Of this amount is for actual
field service and rife practice, and IS
divided among the states according TO
Congressional representation, and $780,
600 is reserved for special allotment
i'm emergency cases.
Instead of making the distribution
for supplies and ammunition according
TO the paper strength of the various
state organizations, as was done last
year, Mr. Garrison took into consldera-
ton actual strength at the annual IN
spection and the number of auxiliary
branches, such as field hospitals, am
bulance companies, field artillery, cav
airy. signal corps and engineer corps.
Every man in a field hospital and the
ambulance companies was counted
twice, and every man in the other
branches of the auxiliary service three
times, so that these arms should re-
ceive adequate funds.
The result of the new plan is that
New York receives for supplies and am
munition $4,000 more than last year;
New Jersey, $4,000. and Connecticut
$4,000. Texas will be the greatest loser,
drawing $4,000 less than last year.

another girl. who was rich, and he in
tended 20 marry her, is the allegation
Of the plaintiff. Vas told her he could
not afford 20 marry a poor girl.
Vas had not been here long from
Budapest when the war broke out. He
is member of the Hungarian re-
serves, and he tried TO return TO JOIN
his colors, but was unable 20 get away.
There will be still less chance OF his
getting away in the near future unless
he gives a $500 bail bond, in default OF
which he was yesterday put IN a cell.
