DRAMATIC EVENING
BEING ARRANGED
Rehearsals Under Way for Biblical
Drama and Missionary Exercise
Thursday Evening, Oct. 10.

Rehearsals for the dramatic evening
Thursday, Oct. 10, in connection with
the state Sunday school convention
are progressing satisfactorily. The
first part of the program will consist
of dramatization of the Book OF
Ruth. The drama is in four acts and
closely follows the biblical account ex-
cept for the first and last scenes. The
first act, which is Introductory, is laid
in the home of Elimelech and Naomi in
Bethlehem in the time of the famine.
The family are discussing the matter
of leaving their own country and 60
ing to Moab, and finally decide to do
so. The events of act two take place
10 years after those of act one. Ma
omi, whose husband and sons have
died in Moab, decides to return to her
old home, and Ruth, her daughter-in-
law, goes with her, Orpah, her other
daughterin law, preferring to remain
in Moab. Scene two shows the well
come accorded Naomi and Ruth by the
women Of Bethlehem. Act three is
laid in the grain field of Boaz, with
er Ruth has gone to CLEAN after the
reapers and where she is discovered bv
Boaz. Scene two shows Ruth return
ing to her mother-in-law at night with
her gleanings, the disclosure to her by
Naomi of Boaz's kinship to them. Act
four is laid at the city gate. Boaz de,
cides to redeem the land > and to
make Ruth his wife. The elders pro.
nounee their benediction upon the
union, and Deborah, the prophecies
foretells that from this union shall de
scend Israel's Greatest King.
The second part of the program vii
be a brief missionary exercise entitled
The Message of Light This will in
terpret symbolieally the fact that Is
I'rael's Greatest King has come to al
the world to bring light and life. The
exercise will interpret the gathering
of Christians for vision and equipmen

fed by the pilgrims of the night, t,

COURT DECISION !.
RAISES QUERIES
Lawyers See Possibilities of
Complications of Seri-
GUS Nature
FAMILIES MIGHT
| BE DISRUPTED
Redistribution of Estates Might Be
Necessary Persons Born of Mar
riage Following Divorce Involved by
Supreme Court Opinion.

The decision of the Vermont su-
preme court, mentioned in The Re-
former yesterday, relative to the SER
vice of legal papers on defendants out
side this state in cases brought in Yer
mont, may have far reaching conse-
quences. As the decision now stands,
without further elucidations by the SUI
preme court, attorneys see possibility
of a disruption of homes and a re-dis-
trlbutlon OF many estates which have
been settled, according to present rec
! ords.
| The case which brought about the
decision was that Of Thomas against
| Graves, a Bennington county case, in
which the defendant appealed from
decree entered on a petition of fore-
/ closure of mortgage. The defendant
was woman, resident of New York.
/ AS has been the custom for wears
throughout the state, notice of the suit
was served on her by sending the pa
/ pers to some person not named in the
| order of notice, who delivered the pa
pers and then made affidavit of such
delivery.
D. A. GuiItinan and R. E. Healy of
Bennington and F. c. Archibald of
Manchester Center, attorneys for the
defendant, raised the objection that
the copies were delivered by a person
not named in the order of notice
In a long opinion the court says:
'We think it is the intention of the
statute that the order of notice, as is
sued by the clerk or other official, shall
contain the name OF the person who is
to make the delivery. SO the order in
this case, and the proceedings based on
it. must be held to be void
The question which attorneys and
others are now asking is this: If the
service in hundreds of eases already
adjudicated and the proceedings based
upon such service are void, what is to
be done about divorces granted under
such service and estates which have
been distributed following such ser
vice?
For instance, suppose a divorce was
, granted to a man under faulty service
and the man remarked and died anG
his estate was decreed to his second
wife. If the legal proceedings wer,
void why does not the estate belong Il
the divorced wife? Also, if children
was not legal the subsequent marriag
what is their status? If the divorce

or, was injured last evening on West
ern avenue, and the light carriage he
was driving was completely wrecked
when touring car with yellow run
ming gear sideswiped the rig Ingram

of the identity of the machine, but
Rev Thomas w. Owens, who was Just
getting out of his car in front of the

the avenue says that the car bore a
Massachusetts number. Mr.. Owens
says the car was being driven very rap
idly in the middle of the road when it
passed him. He did not know of the
accident at the time.
Mr.. Ingram was driving from the
Sylvester farm and had reached point
q little east of the junction Of Spruce
street when he saw the touring car ap-
preaching ON the wrong side of the
street. He pulled his horse nearly on
to the sidewalk and yelled. The next
instant he was hurled out of his car
| riage. The horse freed itself and
ran to High street, where it was
caught The driver of the automobile
did not stop and no one knew who he
was. 1t is said that he drove W
! Union hill into the avenue.
just before the accident Louis A
| Whitney had turned out from q yard
on his bicycle. The automobile was sc
| far on the wrong side of the road that
| Mr.. Whitney was forced to ride W
on to the sidewalk to avoid being rur
down. Mr.. Whitney Immediately tel
ephoned for Police Chief George vii
son, who hurried to the scene. 1t wa,
agreed by all who saw the ear that thu
! left lamp was not burning. Mr.. In
! gram had no light on his carriage, bu
was on an electrically lighted stree
and there was moonlight.
| Shortly after the accident Alfret
| Crocker of this village drove his auto
mobile up to ]. L. Stockwell S store il
West Brattleboro and went into tn,
store, saving that he wanted to ente
| a complaint against man driving al
automobile without a light. Later hi
car was said to have been in Ber

Mr.. Ingram became satisfied tha
Crocker was the man driving the ca
which ran into him, and he has retained
Attorney F. E. Barber as his counse
in a county court suit for damages 0,
$4,000, alleging not only damages to hi
carriage but also personal injuries
claiming that one knee is badly in
jured.
Mr. Barber asked Sheriff C. E. Mann
to locate Crocker, and that officer AM
Deputies C. I. Knapp and NJ. p. Ben
son located him hunting this forenoon
Sheriff Mann arrested him, and Crocke
is now with the officer trying to rails
bail so that he can be released.
The state may also bring an actor
against Crocker for reckless driving.

was considered as the first possible trace
OF the crew Of the British steamer Kings

Search for the crew had been suspended
by the naval authorities, who doubted
whether the submarines victims included
any vessel other than those whose crews
had been brought to land BY some the
message was held to be far from conclusive
evidence that n sixth vessel had been sunk
The suggestion is made that the boats
were those from another vessel whose
crew had been picked up.
