LED TO AN ARREST
Frankfort-on-the-M Was
Scene of Rioting of Con-
siderable Intensity

London, May 26.--An Amsterdam dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph com.
pany says that eighteen women were
wounded in fight between the police and
food rioters at Frankfort-on- the Main
Wednesday night, according to dispatch
received at The Hague. The riot is said
to have started owing TO the shortage of
meat at the local butchers Three hun
dred and fifty women, when told there
was no meat for them, marched through
the streets carrying black famine flags
and singing Socialistie songs.
The women forced their way into one
shop although it was guarded by police
and soldiers, found some meat which they
cut up and then continued their march
carrying the pieces above their head. The
police attempted to take the meat from
the women and general fight followed,
the officers using their swords. One wom-
IN was arrested as she shouted: Down
with the emperor" A local paper re-
ierring to the matter was ordered sus-
pended for two months.

An Exchange of ultimatums7

Although the United States troops are
coming out of Mexico. they are not com
ing fast enough TO suit that mighty
statesman, Carranza, and his FELLOWSHIP
porters of liberty-for themselves
Mexico. The Washington government is
suppressing important facts concerning
the actual conditions; it IS known that,
on information affecting the troops now
across the border. the censorship is as
tight as that in Europe. and it may be
assumed that by hook or crook the ad-
ministration viii do all it can up to the
last moment TO prevent the public from
learning that its punitive expedition has
been a pitiful failure.
One dispatch says that the de fscte
in Mexico has delivered an
ultimatum. demanding the immediate
withdrawal Of all troops. If that is true,
IL is apparent that Mexico has taken a
lesson from Washington and is indulging
in a series of ultimatums. That in itself
NAV be claimed as a great moral vic
tory. through the force of illustrious ex-
ample. for the United States. but b ex-
perts in Washington who knew the facts
and are not befuddling themselves with
their own verbisgp, the Mexican situation
has never looked graver.
II would be interesting 10 know just
what Funston thinks of the whole per
formance in which he has been made to
plav a minor and TO him an unusual part.

BIG POWER PLANS
Were Hinted at in Hearing Held in st.
Iohnsbury.

st. Johnsbury, May pa supplement
tary hearing before the public service
comm ission was held at the courthouse
yesterday afternoon on the application
Of the Essex Storage & Electric Go. for
a charter TO do business in Vermont As
previously published, this company plans
to construct an immense storage basin in
Victory and at yesterdays hearing it
was brought out that the company has
much more extensive plans.
First it plans 10 construct a power
plant at the dam in Victory. This plant
it is estimated would cost S96,700 and de-
velop 2,700 horsepower and put out 1000
kilowatts OF electricity.
1t hopes to buy the saw mill and the
unused power below it at East st. Johns
bury and build a plant there that would
give TOO horsepower, 525 kilowatts, at
an estimated cost Of S4S,3o5.
1t would also like TO buy the water
power OF the C. c. Follensby estate in
the edge of Summerville, go back up
stream about half a mile for a dam and
conduct the water down TO the present
water wheel. which would give them 20
feet fall This plant they estimate would
cost about $4,000 and give them 935
horsepower for the development Of cleo
tricity.
These developments would allow them
to make minimum price of eight mills
per kilowatt at the switchboard for large
of electricity. The company Is
already negotiating with the Odell com
pany at Groveton, \. H., and the Twin
State Gas & Electric Co. in st. Johnsbury
for the sale OF large quantities OF electri-
city.
Engineer II. A. Moody Of Turner's Falls,
Mass. was the only witness examined.
He said it was the Turner'S Falls Power |
& Electric Co. back of this scheme and
that the maintenance of steady flow of
waters in the Passumpsic and Connecti |
tut rivers was one of the main objects |
of the creation of the large storage res
srvoir in Victory. He said il was prob
able the dam would not be built until |
next summer.
The opposition was represented by Ds
lid f. Porter and Hsrland B. Howe, who

ALL SOPHOMORES
SUSPENDED AND
THREE EXPELLED
Second Class Men in Norwich University
Said to Have Carried Hazing of Fresh
men Beyond Reasonable Bonds.

Northfeld May 26.-Norwich universi-
ty students, members of the sophomore
class, came to know of President Ira
l.. Reeves idea Of discipline Thursday
afternoon when three sophomores were
dismissed and the remaining members
of the class we're suspended indefinitely
for hazing freshmen. The decision to
act in this manner was reached at a
meeting of the faculty and it is stated
that President Reeves had the unanimous
support of the faculty in taking the step.
Freshmen were hazed by strapping, ac-
cording to the evidence uncovered in an
investigation ordered by the president
Wednesday.
In the matter of receiving the 30 stu.
dents who were suspended and not dis
missed, the faculty proposes to deal with
the sophomores individually and no over
lures will be received from the class as
a unit. Individual applications for re-
instatement in the university will be con
sidered and it is stated that such appli.
cations have been received already With
the stand he has taken are the members
Of the freshmen, junior and senior classes.
When interviewed yesterday President
Reeves told representative Of The
Times that the present case is the first
occasion of its kind to demand stern
of repression since he accepted
the presidency of the institution. "We
afford to take any half way meas
mes," said the president, "and a single
course will be pursued until hazing is
wholly discontinued"
The freshmen hazed were Kenneth
Earle of Rutland, L. Z. Horner of Rut-
land, w. b. Gates of Morrsville, A. r.
of Waltham, Mass, r. C. Cum
of Hyde Park, Mass, and w. L.
Pelton of Lancaster, n H.
The three sophomores expelled were
Bernhard Waterman Jacobs of Berlin, n.
H., Leonard Hastings Mason of Auburn
iale, Mass, and A. A. Ogston of Barre
The hazing incident which led to the
dismissal of the class occurred Tuesday
night. when FIVE freshmen were taken
'ome distance from the college grounds
,y sophomores and put through Sc
Yere course OF stunts. which is reported
o have included some heavy padding.
Reports of this happening reached Colo
lel Reeves through townspeople and he
ordered rigid investigation.
The entire class claimed equal guilt in
he matter and the members expelled are
lot ring leaders, but are students who
we're already ON probation for other of
enses against the discipline maintained
t the university.

TO UNITE IRISH FACTIONS.
Is Purpose of Plan Agreed to by Con-
tending Parties.

London, May 26.--Ihe House of Com
mons has rarely seen demonstration
of greater unity than was displayed yes
terday afternoon when the leaders of all
factions flocked to the standard of the
prime minister in an effort TO achieve a
lasting settlement of the Irish question.
This was the more remarkable because
of heated and acrimonious debate it
had been predicted would follow Premier
Asquith's expected statement regarding
the situation and the governments pro-
posals for a solution of the problem. Mr..
Asquiths speech took an unexpected
turn, for, instead of giving details, he
made an earnest plea for the settlement
of the Irish tending parties in Ireland
and announced that David Lloyd George
had undertaken the delicate task of
bringing the hostile factions together.
The premier concluded with an appeal
that for time all debate on the ques-
tion both in the House of Commons and
outside be suspended, in view of the ad
verse effect such argument might have
on the difficult undertaking facing the
government.
The premier's speech was heard with
intense interest by the members, and
he had scarcely resumed his scat, when
John Redmond, Nationalist leader, ac-
luiesced in the premier's request, adding,
with voice filed with emotion, his ar
lent desire for solution of the difficult
les of his country.
Mr. Redmond was quickly followed by
his political arch enemy, Sir Edward Car
ION, who rendered his support to the
and by the Independent Irish
eader, William O'Brien, who did like
yse.
The speeches effectively obliterated |
,arty lines for the moment and those
members who had come prepared to at
ack the government fell in with the
saders, and the question was dropped.

Lieutenant Clarence Alvin Richardson,
commander of the United States destroy
