the effect that District Attorney Hor.

Vaughan today.
Judge Clemens conferred with ME

has the right to say there might be a
change in the clerkship if l am APP
pointed judge. In fact, l have never
had such matter under considera.

NOW WITH
KEEPING LIQUOR
Complaint Against Pelligrino Changed
by States Attorney-Hearing
Tomorrow Afternoon.

Emedio Pellegrino, who was arrested
two weeks ago after he had tried to
sell small vials containing liquid
substance which he said would make
Whiskey, will be given a hearing to-
morrow afternoon at 1.30 O'Clock in
the municipal court before Judge
Frank E. Barber.
The case was continued once to this
morning in order that State IS Attor-
ney 0. B. Hughes might receive re-
port from the state laboratory at
Burlington as to the nature of the
contents of the vials. This morning
he asked for a continuance to tomor-
row because he desired to change the
complaint from one accusing the re-
spondent of distributing samples
where they might come into the
possession of children to one charging
him with keeping liquor with intent
to sell. Pellegrino is out on bail. At
torney A. F. Schwenk is his counsel.

ed from Florida for That Purpose
Ten Men Baptized.

held in the First Baptist church last
evening before a congregation which
numbered about 800 persons and which

class and from L. W. Hawley's s Baraea
class.
On account of this service Mr.. Bono,
who was in Florida, made a special
trip to Brattleboro and gave an ad-
dress. He brought greetings from
three other members of the First Bap-
tist church who are in Florida, and
after telling of the exhilarating atmos-
phere of the city from which he came
st. Petersburg, although the tempera-
ture there was so degrees in the shade
he spoke Of the power of Jesus to for
give sin and of the love of one who is
forgiven, as exemplifed in the story
of the amounting of Jesus by Mary.
A large chorus choir, double quartet

BUFFALO, y. Y, Feb. John Ed
ward Teiper will be arraigned today in
connection with the murder of his
mother and brother a week ago on the

ment, it is understood, will be before
q magistrate and the charge against
him viii be sworn to by the sheriff. In
the meantime, District Attorney Wes-
ley c. Dudley will present the evi-
dence to the grand jury which is ex-
pected to make q special report on it
within a hours.
Teiper received his brother Charles
and his father-inlaw, A. 2. Newton, in
his cell at the Erie county Jail today.

dent that his story that the murders

be established as the true version of
the double murder.
Miss Grace j. Teiper, the third vic
time of the attack, is in a precarious
condition. She had sinking spells to-
day and it was said by her attendants
that there was less hope for her re-
covery than at any time since she was

NO NEW DEMANDS
IN LUSITANIA CASE
Sec. Lansing Refutes Statement Com
ing from Berlin-"P Practically Set
tied Says Mr.. Stone.

WASHINGTON, Feb. T. Secretary
Lansing today fatty denied that new
demands had been made in the Lusi-
tania case at a time when the German
government considered the negotia-
tions practically were at an end

spatches quoting the references by DR..

mands made in the Lusitania case as
set forth in the notes Of May l3, June

norman ever made the statement that
new demands had been injected, be
cause he must know that it is utterly
false
Secretary Lansing would not go in
to details or discuss DIR. Zimmerman 5
statement further.
When DR.. Zimmerman s statement
was published in this country. how.
ever, his reference to new demands
was taken to apply to a possible con
struction of the word Illegal in the
proposed form Of settlement The only
ground American officials could find for
constituting that as embodving a new
| demand was the possibility that it
might be considered applicable not
alone to the destruction Of neutrals on
the Lusitania, but also as to the meth
DDS by which she was sunk.
Administration officials let it bc
known today that a mere choice OF
words will not be permitted to stand
in the way of success of the Lusi
tania negotiations and that the United
States will not insist on the use of the
word illegal or disavowal in Germany ;.
Acknowledgement that the sinking OF
the liner was without warning.
Chairman Stone of the Senate for

the last few days and damage that prob
ably will run into hundreds of thousands Of
dollars has resulted in the rich farming ter
ritory.
Still greater damage is feared if the Mis-
sissippi continues to rise as IN the last few
days Predicted stages at Arkansas City
would endanger the levees there and
break in the Mississippi levees would pre-
cipitate a serious situation in the river val
ley.
All day the 700 men who remain in Ar
kansas City toiled in an effort to strength
en- the levees against the fast rising water
and last night they were hopeful that the
levees would hold and the town be saved
The narrow strip of levee is the only land
| in sight there. On one side is the river
swollen until its surface is II feet above
the level of the town. On the other side
| of the levee is the great flood lake nearly
40 miles long and 20 miles wide. From it
only the upper stories of buildings in Ar
kansas City protrude.
| AT Jne leNoe are three steamboats,, one
| of which is ready to carry the workers to
safety should they lose their battle with
the flood. They are living in the second
stories of their homes and in box cars on
the levee.
At Gaines Landing 400 persons were on
the levee last night without shelter.
In Clarendon, on the White river, where
the levee broke Saturday night, water is
six feet deep in the highest portions of the
town. The river still is rising. \ relief
train sent out from Little Rock was un-
able to proceed southwark beyond Grady
From there the workers began carrying
food in motor boats to those in need and
taking many marooned families from sub
merged homes.
Little is known of conditions in the
rural districts of the flooded area, but
there seems little doubt that many who
refused to leave their homes in face of the
5 repeated warnings have perished.
