Guilty When Arraigned
in City Court

| Victor Stacy, a jitney driver operating
between Barre and Montpelier ran afoul
of team on Berlin street Saturday
night and was locked up on charge of
driving his car while intoxicated Mr..
and Mrs. John Shepard of east hill, a
three year old niece and their little neph-
ew from Williamstown were in the car
rage and medical treatment for two
mem bers of the party was necessary be-
fore they returned home. In Magistrate
II. w. SCOTS court this forenoon Stacy
pleaded not guilty to the charge and fur
nished bail in the sum of 5000 for his ap-
pearance at a hearing this afternoon.
Grand Juror William Wishart has charge
of the prosecution and j. Ward Carver is
the appearance for the respondent
! Witnesses seem to agree that Mr.. Shep-
ard was about to rein his horse over the
Berlin street bridge, going east. and that
Stacy had just come up from the rear of
the carriage when the collision took place.
The accident occurred near the Scampini
square intersection and according to Mr..
Shepard his team was on the right side
of the street when Stacy's auto crashed
into the vehicle. The shock of the col
lision threw the horse to the ground and
the wagon, with the children on the seat,
was dragged some distance after the
horse regained it's feet. Mrs Shepard
was thrown into the highway, suffering
bruises about the hip and neck. while
Mr.. Shepard landed on a pile of stone
chips and injured his spine Man and
wife went to the office of DR.. j, A. Wark
after taking care of the children and the
horse. The carriage was nearly demol-
ished.
Officer David Henderson happened to
be swinging along his north end beat at
$3.50 o'clock when he heard the crash.
On arriving at Berlin street he placed
Stacy under arrest and ordered him to
drive to police headquarters. According
to the officers story. the iitney man
headed his car across the bridge and then
turned down the VI. & w R. railroad
tracks, which wasn't in the direction the
policeman had outlined Between order
ing the driver to halt and keeping his
eyes on the track ahead Officer Hender
son stuck to his task until the car
reached the brink of the river bank
Then he jumped.
1t appears that Stacy stopped the car
at the river mdrge ana When OlNceT
Henderson summoned another auto, the
man accompanied him to the police sta
tion. Near midnight men from police
went to West Second street
and restored the car to the level of the
road. 1t was not badly damaged.
Mr.. Shepard is employed at Edward

British Government Warns
Mexico That 1t Must
Not Aid Them
LATTER SUGGESTS 1T
IS HER OWN AFFAIR
And Advises Great Britain
to Stop Escape of the
Submarines

Mexico City, Nov 6.-The Mexican
government has been notified by the
British ambassador at Washington of the
! presence of German submarines in the
Gulf of Mexico and has warned the allies
to take drastic measures if the undersea
craft receive aid from Mexican ports or
public last night by Foreign Minister
Aguilar, who issued the text of a note
received from the British ambassador
through Secretary Lansing and Charge
d'Affaires Parker.
The British note demands strict CEN
sorship OF Mexican wireless and says
that any failure to maintain Mexican
neutrality will be attended by disastrous
results.
In reply, Minister Aguilar says it
seems strange to the Mexican govern
ment that Great Britain should use the
United States state department as an in
termediary on point concerning Mexico
alone, especially when Great Britain has
an accredited representative in Mexico.
Aguilar states that the Mexican govern
ment feels it is unjust for the allies to
hold Mexico responsible for submarine
activities in the Gulf OF Mexico when the
same submarines arrived in American
ports and,sank ships in American terri
torial waters without causing conflict
or difficulties between Germany and the
United States. He adds that Mexico de-
sires to retain cordial relations with
Great Britain, and to this end suggests
that the English fleet prevent German
submarines leaving their base, thus OBJ
waiting to the Mexican government the
incidents caused by the Eu-
ropean conflict. If such measures by
England are not efficacious Agular con
cludes, the Mexican government will take
such measures as the circumstances di-
rect should the German submarines enter
Mexican waters.
