WON II PRIZES
St. JOhnsbury School Boys Made
Excellent Showing at State
Exhibit in Rutland.

The public schools of St. Johnsbury
entered II different exhibits at the
Vermont Boys and Girls Exposition
held in Rutland last week. OF the IT
entries, II received prizes and two,
honorable mention. Except for a
mistake in listing, the schools would
have received, at least, two more
awards, in the opinion of the judges.
The public schools received as many
prizes as any three competitors in the
state of Vermont; a fact which tells
it's own story for the efficiency of our
manual training department
1t must, also, be borne in mind that
our boys were competing with high
schools, academies and agricultural
schools, rather than with pupils of
their own grades; a fact which en-
phasizes all the more the quality of
the work exhibited.
The list of entries by the ST. Johns
bury schools and awards is as follows.
Exhibit of ten common forms of WOOD
joints Arthur Green, second prize;
case for books or papers, Theodore
Beck, first prize; Gerald Donley, sec
ond prize; small piece furniture, Will
liam Morgan, second prize, George
Clement, honorable mention; best
staining and vanishing, George Gle
ment, second prize; mechanical arti-
Gle, Melvin Ellis, first prize, Maurice
Barrett, second prize, Amos Scott,
third prize, Verne Badger, honorable
mention; mechanical model, Ellis
worth Copp, first prize, Merle Ashton,
second prize, Franklin Hovey, third
prize.
The following article appearing in
a magazine published in Columbus,
Ohio, and written by Miss Lena Bliss,
with regard to the exhibit held in the
summer Street school last year should
be of interest to the people of ST.
Johnsbury.
Zone of the most delightful and pro-
gressive towns in northern Vermont
recently held a school exhibition to
which the public was invited. Some
of the work exhibited had been in
spected by the state superintendent
and pronounced. equal to that of any
school in the state. The schools re-
presented were ST. Johnsbury Village,
Center and East ST. Johnsbury, Port
land Street and Paddock Village.
IL. H. Baxter was in charge of the
manual training department and the
work done under his direction was ex-
! ceedingly good. One problem in con-
struction involved the building of q
house. First the ssvorking drawing
perfect in every deail, then the model
with solid foundation and abutments
of real steel. Proportion, structure,
and finish were complete. One boy
had constructed, from lumber OBJ
tanned in the vicinity, a solid quarter
oak table that would sell for $42.50 in
any retail store. He did it at cash
outlay of only Sc. One of the teach
ers made a larger table of similar de-
sign. 1t was exquisitely modelled and
finished. The staining was beautiful.
Full equipment for a laundry was an
other feature, ironing board, clothes
rack, etc. In another room mission
furniture was we'll executed. Even
the third grade had its modern up-to-
date doll house with tasteful furnish
ings made from drawing paper with
penciled design"

Hubby Drives Away
 In One Horse Shay;
 Wifey Gets Decree

Gertrude Parker. of Shelton said in the superior court this morning that when she saw Charles El. Parker go out to the barn one morning she thought he was only going to hitch up the horse. Instead of that she took his clothes and drove away, never to return. So she was awarded a di- vorce this morning by Judge Case on the ground of desertion.
 The Parkers were married June 12, 1904. They lived together two months until the eventfu1 day when Parker departed holding the reins over Dob bin in the one horse shay. Mrs Parker's maiden name was Gertrude Gates.
 Edith Ives Thompson of New York was given a decree from Francis S. Thompson of New York for desertion March 1, 1905. She testified that she and her two Children were living in boarding house in New York at the time but were elected for non of board when Thompson refused to give his wife any money. The couple were married September 19, 1894
 The court gave Lillian M. Knapp of Norwalk a divorce from Clarence B. Knapp on the ground of cruelty Mrs. Knapp said her husband often knocked her down and pulled her hair. She also discovered that Knapp was a victim of a Ioathsome \disease.

SAYS HIS
 WIFE WENT OUT
 WITH OTHER MEN
Greenwich Man Gets Re- buke From Court Before
 He Gets Divorce.

For displaying reluctance to answer frankly the courts questions, Robert H. Brown of Greenwich, was febuked by Judge Case in the civil superior court this afternoon when Browns di- Vorce suit was being heard Brown had been rather evasive in his replies to questions regarding h1s wife's de- sertton. Finally he admitted that he found his wife dihlne with another man in a New York restaurant
 That's what want to know" ex- claimed the court. You can't come here and get a divorce on your own terms want to know all the facts
 Brown sued Edna M. Brown on the ground of deseEdon in April, 1912. The couple were married June 14 1eII and about a month afterward Mrs Brown left her husband She return ed later but went away again before her final departure in 1912 She didn't like living with her husbands parents.
 Brown at first testified that he didn't know why his wife left but he finally said he discovered there were two other men Mrs. Brown used to leave home to meet Judge Case granted the decree.

OWNERS OF DOCKS
 DN YELLOW MILLS
 WATERS COMPLAIN
Say Dredging in Front of Docks is Useless as Chan
 nel is Shallow.

While merchants and shippers are looking to Yellow Mill river as the section of the harbor tol develop be- greatest industries and there is much open space yet where docks may be built the channel. is at the present so shoa1edf over that in many places there is only six feet of water instead of <12 and all tugs and barge boats must wait until high tide to get up or down it. It is impossible to navigate the river at all at low or even half tide.
 Already two immense docks are be- ing constructed on the river, and through their owners enterprise 5O,- 900 cubic yards of dredging. costing about $20,00o, is being completed.
 The owners complain of the shall low channel They have dredged before their docks to a depth of 12 feet When they reach the channel they strike a, mud bank of five; six or seven feet, which runs back into the dredged-out section and makes redredging necessity within a few weeks.
 The channel was originally dredged by the government about 2 years ago and it has never been worked on since.
 The City Ice & Coal Co.'S new dock which opens on Seaview avenue, is $50 feet long and the river before it is being dredged to the depth of 12 feet for the TO feet width to the It is satd< that. the conn pany plans to unload 6O,OO0 tons of coal a year, at this dockf
 The Clark dock. which is on the western side of the river and above the City Ice & Coal Co.'S dock, is 130 feet away from the channel and this distance is being dredged to the depth of 12 feet for the length of the dock. 200 feet This dock, which is sit uated at the foot of Ha1lam street. has been leased by the Doherty Bros. contractors.
 While there has been no concerted the part of owners and ship pers, there is much talk among them of appealing to Major c. Pillsbury who is in charge of this section of Connecticut. It is though that if those who are interestedEin the devel- opment of the eastern section of the city will explain the situation to him he will do all that he can to obtain the needed dredging.

PRESIDENT PLANS HIS 1916 HOLIDAY
 FOR HOME STATE

Washington. Oct. 15-President Wilson decided today to spend next summer in New Jersey in the former home of John A. Mccall, at E1beron. The estate, on which stands a mag nificent house. is known as Shadow Lawn" The President was offered the free use of Shadow Lawn by com mittee headed by Representative ScuI1y, which brought a letter from Governor Fielder. The President in sisted however, that he should pay rent ands said that if the committee pleased it could give the money to charity.
 Governor Fielder, in his letter urged the President. to spend next summer in New Jersey to- receive the Glad tidings'' of his re-nomination. The President only smiled when that was mentioned. When MT. Wilson an nounced that he would accept the in vitation he was warmly applauded and all the delegation insisted on shaking hands with him.
 His acceptance means he will not return to HarIakenden House, the resi- dence of Winston Churchill, at Corn ish, N. H., which he has occupied each summer since becoming President The Mccall mansion is not so secluded as Harlakenden but is larger. Ar engagements for turning it over to the President have already been made by the committee whichSsaw him today.

NAL ONE RISKS LIFE TO CHECK RUNAWAY TEAM To Save Women, Policeman Heroically Ha1ts Infuriat-
 ed Animals. DRIVER IS FLUNG
 WHEN HORSES RUN Patrolnaan is Dragged Over Pavement While Subdu-
 ing Frantic Beasts.

An act of heroism which will go down in police records and long stand forth to the credit of Policeman Thomas F. Malone of 669 Iranistan avenue was performed this morning at the risk of the policeman's life
 A runaway team attached to a heavily loaded truck belonging to the estate of Sidney B. Dowd, of 437 Broad street, came eareening up Broad street having crossed State street where it narrowly missed a trolley car, two other vehicles and several pedestrians who were warned in time to keep back on the sidewalk
 Malone. doing duty at John and Broad streets saw the big truck com ing and ahead of it, near the post office he saw several groups of wo- men assembled in front of the Young Woman's Christian association 5 He acted on~ the irspulse of the moment. Throwing away his club, he grasped the brid1e of the near the animal kicked and bit att him clung bravely to the leather. head piece He managed to stop the horses with the aid of another man whose name has not been learned, at the corner of Cannon street. He was the recipient of hearty congratu1a- tions. but had to retire while his uni- form, Wn1cn na0 been cut ana So1led was repaired.
 The horses became frightened when one of the large packing eases with which the truck was loaded fell to the sidewalk on Broad street near Liberty. Turney French, aged A. APT Broad street, the driver, attempted to stop the team but was thrown to the pavement and one of the wheels of the truck barely missed crushing his head. His right ear was so badly 1acerated that he required ambulance treatment.
 Malone bears an excellent reputa- ton in the police department and his act of heroism is most favorab1y com- mented upon. in police circles.
