BROKE PROBATION RULES.
Eva carbo Sent to Washington County
Jail for Three Months.

Eva Carlo, who was fined in Barr.
City court. earlier in the week, was il
Montpelier city court this morning or
the charge of breaking the conditions OF
her probation after conviction in Mont.
pelier court of breach of the peace in
using profane language to Montpelier
policeman. The former case was on
March ID, 1918.
When asked to-day concerning her case
in Barre, the Carlo woman declined TO
believe that she had broken her proba
tion conditions, saying that she simply
missed the midnight train out of Barre
and early the next morning with her
woman companion was waiting around 20
get back to Montpelier. She thought she
wasn't drunk. II was pointed out to her
that even though her condition was such
as she stated and against the court rec
ord in Barre, the fact that she was out
after 10 p. m. constitutes breach Of the
parole.
Thereupon, the woman was sent to
county jail to serve a three months term
for breaking probation.

spendent OF The Excelsior in Rome re-
ports he has learned officially that $4,000
were killed and $4,000 injured in the
earthquake. Newspaper specials from
Rome agree that the great mortality is
attributable to the method Of dry con.
struction employed in the affected region,
stones being piled upon each other with
out mortar. The only buildings escaping
total destruction were modern houses OF
reinforced concrete.
The landslide at Montecorvino and Ro-
vella sent masses Of earth from the
mountainsides into the Fucina canal,
damming the stream, and threatens to
add a food to the other calamities in
that region. Gangs Of men are working
strenuously to remove the obstruction.

have an opportunity to decide on the
relative strength between eastern and
western teams. Three games are Stat,

Every one Of the six teams plays a
distinct style of game. the western

to the Harvard tactics.
Il is the first time in the history Of
the prep kicking game that as many
as three intersectional battles have
been played by high school or acad-

No individual has any business fig
