Registration Scandal at F'erncrOft


 Middleton, Feb. 25.-The charge that twenty-six men have been illeg- ally registered in this town from the now famous Ferncroft Inn, for the town election to be held next Mon- day, was sprung upon the board of registrars here last night.
 In formal .cOmmunicat tion to the board, Albert F. Henderson, as citi- zen of the town, makes the declara- tion that portion of the seventy men registered from the inn are not only unqualified as voters in the town, but many are already also registered to vote in other cities and towns. Two are alleged to be registered in Bos- ton.
 From No License Forces.
 The announcement of the charges created excitement here when it be- came generally known. Last night was the last moment in which charges af- fecting the coming election could be filed. After 12, midnight, such ac- ton, regardless of the legality of the votes. it is said, could not be of any avail in the coming town election.
 A second surprise was orthcoming when it became known that Tender son represented a committee of clti- zens of the town acting in conjunction withe the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon league, and his allegations followed an investigation which has covered practically a year.
 107 to 1O2 Last Year.
 The highest registered vote in Mid- dleton was last year when 266 names were on the voting list. Of these 21S voted. The vote on the license ques- ton, which is a fighting issue in the town, was 107 for license and l02 for In 1913, the vote, on 1- cense was 1O9 for, 92 against. The committee members declare that since the Ferncroft Inn has been in the town the vote on the license questeo.. has varied on the majority for license, from two to nineteen votes.
 The large registration from the Ferncroft is said to have attracted the attention of the committee and Anti Saloon League.
 Hunted Up the Seventy.
 So this year, when, it is said seven- tv men were registered from Locust street upon which Ferncroft Inn is located an investigation was consid- cred worth while.
 Attorney Henry H. Bond, with of fees in the Fremont building, Boston, was retained as counsel. Under his direction detectives were employed to look up the residences of the men at Ferncroft The result, it is said, is the expose last night, which, it is expect ed will cause a furore and make con- siderable difference in the vote on the license question Monday. |

ARE sILENCED BY WHITLocK
Envoy Hands Card to German Off.
GERS Who Objected to His
Speaking English.

Paris.-A story printed here Of a
peculiar incident at Brussels recently
is attracting much comment and con
siderable amusement
Two German officers were dining in
a restaurant in the Belgian capital
At the adjoining table were two men
conversing in English. The German
officers showed signs of displeasure at
the use of English by their neighbors,
but the latter took no notice of the
annoyance of the Germans and con-
tinued their talk.
Finally the Germans could stand 1t
no longer and one Of the officers arose
and approaching the table at which
the strangers were sitting said: Il will
be obliged If you will stop talking in
English; it displeases and annoys me, .
One of the men thereupon asked
the officer for his card and held out
his own. The officer looked at the
card, drew himself up, clicked his
heels together, saluted and murmured
his excuses. .-
The strangers card bore the name
of Brand Whitlock, Envoy Extraordi-
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary Of
the United States to Belgium.

SEA WAR ZONE IS REASON
Reply to Washlngton's Note. Of Pro-
test Says esrmany's Action
Caused Britain to Put Food
stuffs on Contraband List.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE new ar
gumentatiYe feature Of Sir. Edward
Gray's second reply to the United
States note of December, protesting
against undue interference by Great
Britain with the rights of American
commerce, is. the establishment by
Germany of the war zones.
The concluding part of Sir Ed
wards reply is. devoted to the war
zone as an additional justification for
the detentions of American vessels,
enlargement of the list of absolute
contraband, and the confscation,
with pay therefor, of American food,
stuffs. ,. - g..
The points and the leading thoughts
in the British argument, based on the
war zone development, appear to be
these, in the view of those who have
read the note:
/. Germany, by the establishment of
these zones and her notice to the
world of reprisals against British mer'
chant shipping, indicated her intention
ain in so far as she can.
q. Therefore, Great Britain feels the
necessity of exerting further econom'
ic pressure on Germany by extending
the lists Of eontraband, which now in
cludes 7foodstuffs, such as the cargo
of, the Wilhelmina, which has been TAX
en- into prize court.
Guarantees Held Worthless.
AS understood by department Off
Gals, Great Britain utilities the wal
zone proposition to show by implica
ton that Germany herself was al,
ways In expectation that foodstuffs
and many other articles Of commerce
which went to the ports of neutrals
would eventually, in some part at
least, get into German territory.
On the subject of foodstuffs as con
traband. Sir Edward Grey says that
placing them in the category of alb
solute contraband was justified, not
only by fair inference of the British
governaent as to where most of il
might go, but by proof as to where
some of it was actually going.
Sir Edward makes much stronger
than in his first note his assertion
that the character of the warfare
waged by Germany and the methods
she has employed, outside of the pale
of international law, are of them
selves warrant for the great latitude
Great Britain has assumed, even
against previous declarations, in ex
tending the list of absolute contra
band and exercising a decree of visi
tation and search and detention nat
urally onerous to American CONNER
cial interests.
