OLD CASE TO BE ARGUED.
Suit of Clara B. Lowe Against Yer
mont Savings Bank Up Tomorrow.

There will be argued tomorrow in
the supreme court in Montpelier the
ease Of Clara B. Lowe of Montpelier
against the Vermont savings bank of
Brattleboro, case that has been in the
courts in various phases many years.
1t is based on a claim of a deposit
made in the bank by Harry Lowe, hus-
band of the plaintiff. He made deposits
III the name of Clare B. Lowe and in
those Of Ella Bailey and Harriet Bal
ley, sisters of Mrs. Lowe, and then an,
other deposit in his name as trustee for
Mrs Lowe and the Misses Bailey.
At one time he drew from Mrs.
Lowe S account the sum of 81 900 and
credited it to the trustee account, later
withdrawing it from that account and
re-depositing it to her personal account.
The plaintiff claims that he had no
power of attorney for her and demands
the sum which was originally drawn
from her account in addition to the
face of the account after the amount
had been transferred to her account
from the trustee account.
Clarke c. Fits and q. w. Gibson Of
Brattleboro are for the bank and Harry
Shurtleff Of Montpelier and Frank
Plumlev of NorthfieId are for the
plaintiff.

CONFERENCE
HELD AT Ell PASO
Gen. Funston Wishes to Have 1000 In
fantrymen Mounted for Border
Patrol Work.

Ell PAS0, Texas, May 11.-Negotia-
tions looking forward toward a settle
ment of the American Mexican military
question were resumed this morning.
The conference was attended by Mai.
Gems. Scott and Funston representing
the United States and Gen. Obregon,
minister of war of the defacto govern
ment, and the sub-secretary of foreign
affairs in Mexico.
Gen. Funston desired to strengthen
the border patrol by mounting 1000
infantry men on Texas ponies. The
general plans to make this recommen,
dation to Secretary Baker because the
available forces of cavalry for patrol
have become practically exhausted.
Gen. Funston points out that Texas
ponies are suited for patrol work as
they can live on the scanty grass
along the border. Gen. Funston said
he was considering that the First Eli
Inois cavalry be called out for patro
work along the Rio Grande.
He believes that Major Langhorne
whose troops were well over the Rio
Grande into Mexico today, has good
Ichance of at least overtaking part OF
the bandits that raided Glen Springs

400 KILLED IN
THE DUBLIN RIOTS
Total Casualties Placed at 1,OOO-Har-
dinge Wanted as Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland.

LONDON, May 11.-Lists containing
400 or more names of persons arrested
have been published. The latest es-
innate Of casualties in Dublin places
them at about 1000, of whom 400 were
killed. These figures include soldiers.
insurgents and civilians. The fact Is
noted in Dublin that since the insur-
'rection there has been an increase in
the rate of recruiting there even while
the controversy over the causes and
manner of handling the instruction is
still in progress. Efforts are being
made to reach a compromise on the
home rule question. Those who most
desire this are urging that Lord Har-
dinge, after he has concluded his in
quiry into the disturbances, shall be
appointed lord lieutenant of Ireland.
1t is believed that a diplomat
would be more likely to bring the
two parties together than would
a politician. There are rumors
in parliamentary circles that ne
gotiations of some kind are being ar
ranged and that Sir Edward Carson
and John Redmond, the leaders Of the
parties, are concerned with them.

UNIVERSALISTS HAVE
BIENNIAL ROLLCALL
Large Number of Church Members En-
joy Supper and Program-Rev. AL
bert Hammatt Speaker.

Not far from $50 persons attended
the biennial roll call of the Universal
ist church members in the church yes
try last evening, which was the largest
attendance at a rollcali since Rev. d.
L. Trout became pastor nine years ago.
An excellent supper was served at
6.15, and an orchestra played during
the supper hour. At the head table
was the speaker of the evening. Rev.
Albert Hammatt of Springfield Mass,
formerly pastor in Bellows Falls, Rev.
and Mrs. E. Q. S. Osgood of the Uni
tartan church, Rev. and Mrs. D. L.
Trout and daughter and the deaeons
and wives and officers of the Universal
ist church.
After supper the chairs were pushed
back and the program was begun. Miss
Miriam Childs rendered soprano solo,
and Rev. Mr.. Trout made brief re
marks relative to his pastorate of nine
years, giving some statistics concern
ing the church membership. Rev Mr.
Osgood spoke in a congratulatory vein
and the church clerk, Mrs Helen NJ
Newman, gave report covering the
past two years.
Then followed the calling of onc-half
the roll by the clerk, each person
standing and answering to his or her
name. Miss Jean Blodgett rendered a
contralto solo and then the calling of
the roll was completed. Col. Thomas
Hannon of Bennington, who always
comes to attend this meeting, was call
ed on for remarks. after which Miss
Childs and Miss Blodgctt sang a duet.
The pastor at this point introduced
the speaker, Rev. Albert Hammatt,
whose subject was The Challenge of
Christ. The challenge, he said. is first
to the individual to magnify one life
and not to minimize its influence. The
is not merely to the individ-
ual, but to the body corporate, to bring
social as well as individual Justice De
mocracy that is not founded on high
type of morality and righteousness
counts for but little in the long run.
The speaker gave several illustrations
from the business and commercial
world and spoke in his usual eloquentI
and impressive manner.

FIRM FOR
ARMY OF $50, 900
No Progress Is Made by Conferees and
Suggestion by President Is
Looked For.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The senate
and house conferees on the army reorgan-
ization bill made no progress toward an
agreement yesterday. The senator's in
formed the representatives, fatty that they
regarded their instructions favoring the
volunteer army plan and the regular army
of 250,000 as final and that they would not
yield.
In the meantime the conferees are try
ing to prepare some sort of substitute for
the organized volunteers by providing for
the training at the governments expense
of a large number of young men each year
at camps like that held last year at Platts-
burg. The amendment of Senator Lodge
OF Massachusetts is the basis for this effort
which looks to paying the ''rookies' on
the basis of enlisted men.
Senators feel that a hint from President
Wilson favoring the stronger preparedness
of the senate bill would go d long way
even toward enabling them to get better
terms from the house, in spite of the re
cent votes in the house against the impor-
tant senate provisions.
So far, however, since his speech CON
vening congress, the President has not in
dicated his own views regarding the prop
er size for the army. In an interview with
a delegation Of paclfists a few days ago
the President referred to the senates bill
provision for 250,o00 regulars as not un-
reasonable, but refrained from committing
himself to that strength.

Town and Village Act Together for
Benefit of Traffic and Public - Reg

Village Meeting Called.

a traffic post was placed this af.
ternoon, by the village commissioners
and the selectmen of the town acting to-
gether, at the intersection of Main and
Elliot streets, and another will be placed
at the intersection of Main and High
streets. The object is, OF course, to safe
guard traffic at those points and better
provide for the safety of the public.
The village officials and Police Chief
George Wilson spent the evening in Green
field yesterday and studied the traffic
regulations there.
Approaching the necessity of having
someone to enforce traffic rules, arrange
ments have been made by the officials
whereby Chief Wilson went on duty at
II O'Clock. noon. He viii go on duty each
noon and work until about midnight.
Oihcer Ellis G. Norden will 60 on duty
early in the evening and work through the
night The time Of heaviest traffic is in
the afternoon and evening and with the
traffic posts and the officer on duty in the
afternoon 1T Is hoped that pedestrians will
have an easier time crossing Main street
than has been the case in the past.
The proper location OF the post at the
corner of Main and Elliot streets is one
that will be determined by practical use
and it may be found advisable to change
1t several times before the proper location
is finally determined
1t is the purpose of the officials of the
village and town not to put into force any
unreasonable regulations, but only those
which Will serve as a protection alike to
drivers and pedestrians The officials ask
the cooperation of all drivers to the end
that the traffic problem may be simpli-
fed
1t is probable that the commissioners
and selectmen at an early date will pre-
pare some reasonable traffic regulations
and submit them to a special village meet
ing for approval. In working out these
regulations the officials will be glad of
suggestions and cooperation on the part
of owners of vehicles.
