MILITIA STILL IN
FEDERAL SERVICE
Important Ruling Made by
the United States Court
of Appeals
REVERSES ORDER
OF FEDERAL COURT
Case Considered a Test of the Applica-
tion of the New Law, Upon Which the
Disposition of Cases in Other States
viii Depend.

BOSTON, Oct. Is. The United
States circuit court of appeals ruled to.
day that members of the state militia
were still in service for federal mill.
tary purposes Notwithstanding their
failure to take the oath under the ma
tional defense act of last June.
This decision reverses a recent order
of the federal district court. The ease
was considered test of the applica-
tion of the new law upon which dis
position of similar eases in other states
will depend.
The opinion from which Judge Put
nam dissented vacated a decree of the
lower court under which Alexander NJ
Emerson and Alfred P. Lowell, cavalry
men, We're released from military Gus
tody.
Directions were given that the troop
ers be returned to the military au-
thorities from whom they were taken.
The general question involved, accord
ing to the opinion in which Judges
Bingham and Aldrich Joined, is wheth-
er the national defense act of last
June repeals provisions of the Dick
law authorizing the President to use
pei invasion and suppress instructions.
Whether it is left altogether at the
option of members of the state militia
to sign a new enlistment contract and
whether in event of refusal TO sign
the militiaman is mustered out.
''The act of 1916, being one for ma
tional defense, the opinion said, land
congress upon its passage being under
the weight of well-known existing con
ditions of foreign menace and in the
presence of a recent invasion of an or
ganized military body of armed men
from a foreign country, the view is an
impossible one that congress intended
to make it optional with the whole oil
any substantial part of the organized
military force of the states to march
or not at will in furtherance of the
duty which they had previously as
sumed.
The act, the opinion stated in con
clusion, was not intended to operate tC
the end that members of the organized
militia who did not see fit to enlist vol
unfairly for longer term and assume
the broader obligations which might
require them to go beyond national
bounds, should be absolved from the
duty of responding to the emergency
call of the President, nor was the act
aimed to relieve the militiamen from
serving a specified term within the
country, the opinion stated.
The court explained that it consid
cred the statute only in respect to OBJ
legations TO service under prior enlist
ments.
Judge Putnam said, in dissent: Il
seems to me that the act of June, 1916
is too positive and precise to be modified
by construction in the manner attempt
ed by the opinion of the court.

AUTOMOBILES SCARCE
ON MAIN ST. TO-DAY
Presence in Town of Inspector Henry
May Be Reason for Unusual
Condition

1t seemed to many today that there
was notable dearth of automobiles on
the principal streets of Brattleboro.
Whether the fact that Inspector P. j..
Henry of the secretary of states of
flee was again on his job at the corner
OF Main or Elliot streets had anything
to do with it was a question.
The state was enriched by $16 yes
terday as the result of eight opera
tors licenses that were issued by the
office of the town clerk, supposedly as
the result of the inspectors inquiries
of all operators of Vermont licensed
cars who passed him yesterday during
the few hours he was ON duty on the
street.
The inspector said this morning that
he had seen very few automobiles. It
was known, however, that he was con
tinuing investigations that he started
day before yesterday.

TEAPOT TEMPEST
AMONG DEMOCRATS
Second Caucus Called to
Name Five Justice of
Peace Candidates
OBJECTION MADE TO
ACTION OF FIRST
Full Number Not Agreed Upon at Joint
Caucus with Republicans and Name
of Daniel F. Riley Added Subsequent

Lack of interest in caucuses and the
failure Of the two or three Democrats
present at the one held Friday night,
Sept. %, to complete their full quota
of five nominees for the justice of the
peace ticket that night has resulted in
a call for a second Democratic caucus
tomorrow evening for the purpose OF
nominating five Democrats for the par
tv ticket.
1t rained Frida4 evening, Sept. %.
According to old political beliefs a
rainy caucus or election day is made
for Democrats. Here in Brattleboro,
however, it was as bad for one as the
other of the two parties. The Repub
hcans had a caucus that same night
in the same place. Festival hall. There
was room for both caucuses without
erowdlng, for there We're two Republi-
cans and three Democrats present dur
ing the greater part of the delibera-
tions of the two caucuses
The Republicans have been accus-
toned to nominate 10 Of the 15 JUS
tlces OF the peace allowed by law as
Brattlcboro 5 apportionment The Re
1T were, the action of their Democrat
to name their five men and these are
placed en- the ballot with the 10 Re
publicans. The Republicans ratify, as
II were, the action of their Democrat
ne political brethren, and the Demo
Gratis return the favor.
The rub this time is that not all of
the Democrats are satisfied with the
result of the three man caucus. or
rather, some are dissatisfied with the
action of the Democratic town commit
tee in filling later a vacancy on the
justice ticket with the name of Daniel
F. Riley.
When the two caucuses had closed
their sessions Sept. % the Democrats
had agreed upon four of their FIVE JUS
tlce candidates. The fifth they had not
decided upon.
Harold h. Whitney, the Republican
caucus ofhclal present, suggested that
they let him know who they would
have for their fifth candidate IN a dav
or two and he would put the name Oh
the Republican ticket with the Others
saying that whoever suited them would
suit the Republicans
The following Sunday Dennis Dug.
gan of the Democratic town committee
met Mr. Whitney and said that the
committee had decided upon Daniel F
Riley as the fifth Democratic Justice of
the peace candidate. Mr.. Whitney
said that he would add the name to the
four others and the ticket would be
complete.
Chairman Rollin S. Childs of the
Democratic town committee notified
Mr.. Whitney later not to add that
name to the list of Democratic candi
dates. On Monday Mr.. Childs posted
notices calling another caucus of the
Democrats in Festival hall Thursday

HIPPODROME CHAIN.
DILLINGHAM; PLAN
Forms S5,O00,O0o Company to Exploit
Big Successes in the Large
Cities

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Not content
with having produced the greatest
theatrical spectacles at the New York
Hippodrome, Charles Dillingham; plans
to form circuit Of hippodromes to re
celve his elaborate productions after
they have been seen in New York.
With this purpose in view the
American Hippodrome and Improve
ment company was organized yester-
day at Ill Broadway as a subsidiary
company to the New York Hippodrome
corporation The board of directors is
composed of H. O. Winsor, Charles Dill
linghan and Byron Fellow, with asso-
Cleveland, Pittsburg and Kansas City.
The sum of $5,000,000 has been set
aside to erect the theaters contem-
plated.
The success achieved by Mr.. Dilling-
ham at the Hippodrome last year and
this, and the enthusiasm with which
." Hip Hip Hooray," the spectacle of
last year at the big playhouse, was re-
ceived in Philadelphia this week has
influenced the owners of the Hippo
drome, it was stated, to provide an out
let for these productions in large cities
where the proper auditoriums do not
exist at present
The apparent economic reason for
not wanting the productions to 90 to
waste after they have run through
their New York season is also sun
ported By the desire to meet the grow
ing demand for extraordinary stage
productions at moderate prices in other
cities, the announcement states.
In Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, ST.
Paul, St. Louis and Cincinnati, where
adequate playhouses already exist. it is
intended to cooperate with local own
ers. In other large cities where there
are no theaters of this character and
proportion, new auditoriums will be
built
The Hippodrome spectacle now on
tour IS limited TO seven cities outside
of New York. With the contemplated
additions to the list the Hippodrome
productions will be assured of forty
weeks annually in fully equipped audi
toriums

The Rochette case was one of the most
sensational in the history of French
courts 1t was revived in 1914 when Gas
ton Calmettc was shot by the wife of
Mons. Caillaux. The shooting was the re-
suit OF attacks made at Caillaux in the
Figaro and among the charges was the old
scandal OF the former minister's alleged
connection with Rochette.
