TO DROP LICENSE MONEY CASE
Understood State Will Drop Suit to
Recover Gift" Money.

RUTLAND, May l5.-Although the
state has not. vet accepted the slo,H3
awarded by jury in Rutland county c,n.f
at the last term in the case in which the
state sued the city for the amount OF MON
ey paid over by the hquor licensees il is
understood that this amount will be paid
over and the case droprd: Soon after the
trial in which the city was successful. r.
was said the case would be taken to the
higher court, bun evidently the power be-
hind the throne has withdrawn and the
case will come to an end.
In 1919 the license commissioners set the
license fees at the minimum amount. and
while the licensees paid TIN, amount. they
also donated to the city the balance he
tween the amount of money paid in 1914
and that paid in 1915, getting a separate
receipt and it was this balance the state
sought to recover.
The case was tried by jury. the verdict
being in favor OF the defendant and the
state was awarded the original $4,000
which was legally rendered long before the
trial This has been at interest for the CITY
for the year and will help considerably to-
wards defraying the city's expenses in con-
nectlon with the trial OF the case.
Some OF the licensees have paid the en-
ira money to the city treasurer this year.

gift. 1t is also said that some al the IT,
cenSees have not paid the extra amount.

to destroy niinitions ships or the al

sentenced TO serve eight years in

were sentenced to serve four years
and two years, respectively, Judge
Howe holding that they did not origi-

severe punishment than Fay. The
three were also fined 81 each. A writ
of error was filed in behalf of
Daeche and the bail of $25, 900 on
which he has been at liberty was

CALL FOR A TRUCE.

We have an impression that 8
truce will be called in the next two
months to the combatants beyond the
sea.
! Not from anything that is being
done along the different battle fronts
/ not from any words spoken behind
the hostile lines, but from the knowl-
edge which they all must have Of
the helpless condition of the people
to meet another winters privations.
Certainly civilized people will hardly
pursue much longer a course which
! they know will eliminate in the des-
truction of thousands, perhaps mil
lions of women, children and aged
persons through hunger and cold. I'm
less the nations have all gone stark
mad, they are about ready to listen
to call for halt.
President Wilson loves to be in
the limelight as much as does
Colonel Roosevelt. The war between
Russia and Japan was not nearly so
desperate as is the present war
when President Roosevelt in the
name of the Great Republic and
backed by its majesty, appealed to
both those powers to try to get
together and make peace, at the
same time rendering to them a city
in which to hold their negotiations.
The offer was accepted and the
peace compact was framed.
Why does not President Wilson
make like proffer?
And as nearly all Europe is Catho-
lie in faith, either Roman or Greek,
why not ask the pope to join in the
appeal?
1t would be perfectly proper to
make the appeal and it would be like
wise proper in making the appeal to
call attention to the fact that dur
ing the past full year, despite the
drain of treasure and the sacrifice of
so many lives, neither combatant can
claim any advance toward victory,
and in solemn tones remind the belli-
gerents that to pursue a war after
nope of success has vanished, is but
We believe those belligerents are
right now waiting for such a call

THE ABIDING TIME.

NSdiuWSu IiIuuuoJ
Governor Alexander is still
source Of worry, hope and irritation
to the Democrats. Not one of then
knows what the Governor intends t.
do. Some think he will be a candi
date for reelection. Others think tina
i he is ready to scuttle the ship. Still
others think that he should be com
PEELED to run again, and are willing
to assist in his murder at the genera
election.
Governor Alexander Is a man who
will be a candidate If he wants to
be candidate. He will not be a
candidate if he does not want to be.
He does not wish to be beaten at
the general election. He would much
prefer to decline to run He also
enjoys the limelight. He is not so
modest that a little of the call
cium is painful or even displeasing
Being such man as he is, and cir
cumstances being exactly as they
are, Governor Alexander will abide
until after the Chicago convention.
In case the Republicans and Progress
sives fail to amaigamate you will find
the governor hot on the trail of the
nomination. If they do amalgamate
he will wander off. We guess that
harmony will prevail at Chicago to
an extent that is noticeable, and
that, in consequence, Hon Moses
Alexander will not be a candidate
for the nomination this year.
Governor Alexander is not popular
with those men who have arrogated
to themselves the leadership of the
party. The trouble with Governor
is that he has little
respect for any one in the Demo
cratic party except Alexander. The
party Is simply an instrument to fur
Their the ambitions of Alexander. AS
ong as it does that it is serving a
useful purpose. The leaders naturally
10 not care about maintaining a par

If pushing Governor Alexander up
md onward. They feel that there are
other things to be considered beside
he ambitions of one man. 1t SO hap
pens that Mr.. Alexander is in office

amor. ALI they can do is to abide |

Nicholas De Ray Is a hotel engine
man in Atlantic City. Two months
ago his skill and courage saved q
score of lives in lodging house fire

one Sunday morning and tried to
choke De Ray to death when the
latter gave him his orders Lewis
was the stronger man and some fifty
pounds heavier. De Ray tried to stant
the whisky lunatic off with a jack
knife, and In the struggle the blade
was driven home to the would-be
slayers heart. Lewis is dead, De
Rays life is darkened, and the pros
