Fence at Track 10 Save Lives Three
fatal accidents on the Rock Island road
embankment within the past month
have led to a general demand through
out the city that something be done to
stop the procession of deaths. In every
case the victim Of the accident has
been walking on the track and for
some reason CT other has not heard
the approaching train and has been
ground underneath the wheels The
matter has been brought up before
the local officials of the Rock island
road and the Commercial club. AL the
latter organization it has been referred
to the public affairs committee. John
Hayes, a member Of this committee,
advocates the building Of high tight
barb wire fence along the Rock Island
tracks through West Davenport to the
city limits. According to his plan there
would be gates at either end Of the
fenced-in enclosure and also gates at
crossing points. ANY one not an au-
thorized employe Of the road, caught
walking along the tracks would be ar
rested and fined.

the initiative is not to be left entirely to
the invaders much longer.
Reports come by way of Paris that An
glo-French forces are making their pres
ence felt against the Bulgarians,
The entente allies claim their operations
are proceeding along the whole front with
success, notwithstanding the handicap of
operating in a difficult country.
1t is reported also that the Serbians
holding a part of the Macedonian front
have checked the Bulgarians after inhict-
ing heavy losses on them.
If the Serbians can sustain the attack
for a short period the French should be
able to join them south of Neles.
The Russians continue their policy of
sharp and unexpected attacks at various
points along the front. The latest of these,
according to Petrograd, consisted of three
successful assaults southwest of Riga, two
southwest of Dvinsk and three west of the
Styr south of the Pripet marshes, where
the Austro-German line was broken in two
places.

METHoDIsTs IN CONVENTION.
Chancellor Hamilton Gives Address on
World EVANGELISM.

A convention of Methodist ministers
and members of the Epworth league
opened here yesterday afternoon, to
continue through tomorrow Rev E.
w. Sharp of Brattleboro is in charge
of the meetings.
At the first session Chancellor Frank
lin Hamilton of the American univer-
sity at Washington spoke to the visit
ing clergymen. In the evening he ad
dressed large gathering in the Meth
odist church on World Evangelism. He
denounced the European policy of mil
itarism and declared that America was
the last hope of civilization and that
here will be fought the last fight from
darkness into light.
The world, he said is at a cross
roads of human history which marks
the breakdown of Socialism. Socialism
declared for 30 years that it stood for
humanity, but when the great conflict
began it marched against humanity
with the others. This country must
create an ideal democracy, according
to the speaker, and this will be pos
sible, he said, only through having the
equal franchise. He said that to deny
equal suffrage is to deny democracy. In
speaking Of the franchise for women
the speaker said that with it war
would end. Womanhood will not stand
for the wrecking of civilization and
that is why woman hates war with /
lnever-dving hatred.
Chancellor Hamilton said that Po
land, devastated by the war, was in {
position more deplorable even than that
OF Belgium, but worse than Poland 5 /.

set by Turks it faces humiliation a

Through the thick veil which the British
censorship has thrown about the situation
in India and Egypt, comes a statement that
the Nizam of Hyderabad, one Of the most
influential of the native princes and a
stanch supporter of the British, has been
deposed by his people This development,
coming as one of the climaxes to successive
reports of mutinies and unrest, many of
which have been substantiated and admit

be the leading reason for Earl Kitchener S
departure from England, which has been
shrouded with much secrecy.
1t has been officially announced that the
head of the British war Office was on his
way to the theatre of operations in the
near east, which has been generally inter
preted as meaning the Balkans, where the
critical situation of the moment confronts
the allied forces.
Information reaching the United States

LAWRENCE TO SERVE
OVER SEVEN YEARS
Sentenced This Afternoon for Selling
Nortgaged Property-Boyd Case
Goes Over to Next Term.

The jury cases at the present term
of county court were concluded this
morning, with the possible exception
of one civil ease, when the case of the
state against Clara Boyd of Whining
ton, which was started yesterday, was
continued this morning to next term.
The states attorney sought to amend
his information and the motion was
opposed by counsel for the respondent,
Chase & Chase. After some discussion
the court decided TO continue the case
to the next term of court. DR.. A. ].
Thomas, who was to have been the
principal witness for the state and was
to have testified this morning, was un-
able to reach court because his automo-
bile broke down. The woman is charged
with statutory offense.
1t was expected at noon that Frank
Lawrence, who has pleaded guilty to
two different charges of selling mort
gagged property, and Joseph Gallo, con
victed of simple assault in shooting
John Morend in the left side during
a row on Williams street III Brattle-
boro a month ago, would be sentenced
this afternoon. It was considered pos
sible that the liquor case against
Hooker Winchester might be disposed
of also before court adjourned this
afternoon.
Frank Lawrence was sentenced this
afternoon on the two pleas OF
guilt he had entered for selling mort
gagged property. In the first case he
was fined 1924 and on the second $340
total of 1864. This is to be worke
out at the rate of three days for every
dollar, which calls for his commitment
for a little over seven years
