ChicagODetectives Said Yes terday to Be Now En
 Route to Birmingham
JONES OF BESSEMER
 MAKES STATEMENT
He Says If One of His Cars Is Seized He Wants It Done in
 Legal Manner

The announcement that Chicago detec- hves are en route to Birmingham to iden- tfy the seized automobiles and the locat- ing of two more cars by Detective Harry Goldstein were the only outstanding fea- lures yesterday in the now famous auto mobile theft conspiracy in which Lee A. Whitehead, formerly of the defunct Standard Home company of this city is said to be implicated
 While up to a late hour last night no arrest had been made, it is understood that Detectives Goldstein and Smith will swear out warrants for one and possibly two wei known citizens within the next few hours in connection with the alleged automobile thefts in Birmingham and in Chicago A secret garage was To- cated yesterday morning by Detective Goldstein and two first class automobiles, one q six-cylindered Winton and the other a Mitchell, were seized. This garage according to the detective de- partment, was formerly operated by L. A. Whitehead.
 LITTLE NEWS FROM CHICAGO
 From the Chicago end of the investiga- tion comes very little news, but from the meagre details received in official tele- grams, it is understood that at least one automobile that had been stolen in Bir- mingham had been recovered in Chicago, and incidentally that several Birmingham license tags had been seized by the Chi cago police in the rooms of L. A. White head who is being held by the detectives at Chicago.

CHAUTAUQUA A SUCCESS
Morrisville's First Community
Event Pleases the People. A
Course Assured Next Season.

The first Community tChautauqua to
be held in Morrisville closed last evening
under most favorable auspices. although
the weather was extremely hot, each en-
| tertainment was well attended and
everybody was enthusiastic over the
event, which was great success and
much credit is due the business men and
the committee who had the arrange
, ments in charge and who were instru-
mental in securing the Chautauqua for
this season. 1t required work, and a
great deal fit. but the success we'll re-
pays for all the arduons labor.
The Chautauqua is assured again for
1917, over 800 tickets having been
pledged at the close Tuesday evening
The Junior Chautauqua was in charge
of Miss Mantell, who did fine work with
the boys and girls in the play ground,
picnic and other outdoor features during
the week.
Friday afternoon the opening numbers
of the Chautauqua were given by the
American Quartet, and Clayton Conrad
cartoonist, who surely proved himself an
artist in the use of the crayon. This en-
tertainment was one of the best in the
whole course. In the evening the same
| quartet gave another entertainment
augmented by an address 1.-The Commu-
nifty Conscience" by Lee Francis Lybarger
of the Philadelphia bar. The address
was one of the best ever heard by Nor
risville audience and in it he urged the
| Importance of broader and richer COM
munity life. He also depicted the "Pork
| Barrel" tendency in government affairs.
| Saturday afternoon the company was
entertained by Godfrey O'Hara, the
| famous Irish tenor and song writer, and
Wing Tabor Wetmore, who gave char
acter sketches and approximations. Mr..
O'Hara sang many original selections
and gave short talk on the art of song
writing.
| Saturday evening a popular entertain'
ment was rendered by O'Hara and Wet
more and Arthur Delroy. president o.
the New York Psychic Club spoke or
IA Psychic Melange." Mr.. Delroy was
highly amusing in his reproduction of a
fakir and did much in exposing the hyp

Boys Stock Judging Contest

As seen by the premium list, the pro-
gressiye management of the Lamoille
county fair has continued to offer an
event of unusual interest to the boys OF
this section of the State, the stock ludg-
ing contest. The generous prizes offered
are surely worth the effort OF many boys.
The priZes are much larger than those
offered at other fairs throughout the state,
as follows: 1st prize, S12; End prize, 70;
3rd prize, So. The contest will be In
charge of Mr. Carleton, who is sent here
nv the Agricultural Extension Depart
ment of the University of Vermont. 1t
will be held Wednesday, Aug. 30, at III a:
M. the big day of the fair. The idea OF
training boys to Judge stock intelligently
and correctly is good one, a practicai one
that will be of helpful service IN later
wears. The management of the fair is
| doing a practical benefit to the commu-
pity by offering such large inducements to
the boys to train their powers of observa-
tion and Judgment. This letter is written,
without the knowledge of the managers
of the fair, because 1 believe that the Boys
Stock Judging Contest should be con-
sidered by the people one of the most
| important and interesting events OF the
| fair; that it should be largely attended
that at least twenty-five boys should entei
as contestants. All entries should be
made to the Secretary OF the fair before
p, M. of the first day. Remember the
date of the contest, Wednesday at 10 a. m.
the second day of the fair.

matters as best they could.
Seventy per cent of the names

members of the board as he looked

failure of voters to transfer after they
had moved from the precinct in which
they had registered.
