Quar-, IS We're Taken from a
Freight Train in
Waterbury

Waterbury, Aug. 23.-Four men who
were taken from freight train about
midnight by Deputy Sheriff Frank Eat
on were all sentenced to the house Of
correction to-day to not less than three
months for tramping, that action being
taken after various citizens of East
Granville had come here to attempt to
identity two of them as the parties
who broke into the Central Vermont
station at East Granville Friday night
who were scared away before they se-
cured any plunder. Some of those who
came to see the men thought that two
resembied the desperadoes who were
chased away from East Granville, but
there was nothing further to mplicate
the men, 50 they with the other two
were arraigned before Justice Dale for
the tramping charge.
Two OF the quartet who were the least
suspected were taken on the early fore
noon train to Montpelier and the other
two taken there early this afternoon,
after H. ID. Bolton, the Central Vermont
detective, had conducted an investiga-
ion.

BRYAN MAKES STATEMENT.
Says Editors Have Avoided the Impor-
tant Point in Arabic Case.

Chicago, Aug. 23.--William J. Bryan
former secretary of state, last night
gave out signed statement, in which
he said;
Il have read the editorial opinions
concerning the sinking Of the Arabic, as
those opinions were reproduced in Satur-
day mornings papers, but they seem to
EN- to avoid the most important ques-
tion. The real question is not whether
American citizens have, under interna-
tional law, a right to travel through the
danger zone on the ships of belligerent
nations. That is admitted. The ques-
tion Just now Is whether an American
citizen should put his convenience or even
his rights above his nations welfare.
III American citizens refuse to consider
their own safety, or the safety of the
nation, then second question arises,
the government should
permit few persons 10 drag the country
into this unparalleled war.
"0ur government has made its protest
and there is no doubt that the position
taken is sbundsntly supported by prece-
dent, but that does not necessarily mean
that we are going to war. Diplomacy
has not yet concluded its work, and even
II diplomatic efforts fad, we have re-
course to the treaty plan which must be
resorted to in case of disputes with
ireat Britain, France, Italy, and Russia,
md should be resorted to before going
% war with any other belligerent nation.
"If the treaty plan fails, we still have
/ choice between entering this war and

intil peace is restored.

were found guilty Thursday in the
federal district court of having VIC
lated the laws of the United States

German cruisers in the South Atlantic

OIL TESTS FOR SICKNESS
Laboratory Maintained by State Of
California to Test All Materials
Used in Road Making.

At Sacramento, Cal. the highway
commission has laboratory in which
all materials entering into road con-
struction are tested. The asphaltic oils
used as a protective coat for concrete
are tested for sickness by a simple
apparatus called the Osborne adhe-
sive machine This consists Of fixed
cylinder two inches In diameter and
kept at II degrees Fahrenheit by a
flow Of water, and a collar OF metal
that fits over 1t. The OIL is applied
between the two. like lubricating oil.
cord is wrapped around the collar
and a three-kilogram weight Is at
tached to the end OF the cord. The
downward pull of the weight makes
the collar revolve. and the time In sec
onds required for these revolutions Is
the measurement of the adhesiveness
of the oil.
The Engineering Record says the
oils vary In sickness from $50 to LOO
seconds. The stickier the oil the bet
ter. A minimum Of 900 seconds Ii re-
ouired of the oil to be used on the Cali
fornia highways. What this means
NAV be gathered from the statement
that the balsam coating on ordinary
sticky ny-paper has an adhesive tsst
of about $50 secondA -. 90
