WASHINGTON HOPEFUL.
Officials Believe England Will Change
Stand on Envoy.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 2.-The state
department is awaiting with confidence
the response of the entente govern
ments to its presentation of the rea-
sons why Count Tarnowski should be
given safe conduct on his mission TO
the United States.
Although the department did not
make a specific request for such a safe
conduct, preferring to point out what
is regarded as an inalienable right
rather than to appear as seeking a ia
vor, it was felt that the position taken
by the British government when it
sought and obtained the release of the
Confederate commissioners seized by
the United States during the Civil war
would make it impossible for that gov
ernment to attempt to deny the right
of a neutral state to maintain full and
free diplomatic relations with a bellig-
erent state
1t is assumed, however, that Great
Britain may base her acquieseence in
this case on a desire to accommodate
friendly neutral state, without commit
ting herself specifically to recognition
of the academic right of free move
ments on the high sea of diplomatic
representatives of a belligerent.

WOULD REMOVE CASE
TO FEDERAL COURT
Petition Filed This Afternoon in Ac-
tion Brought by Ingram Against
Crocker for Damages.

Attorney Harold F. Whitney of the
office of c. c. Fits entered in the coun-
ty clerk s office this afternoon a petit
tion for the removal from the Windham
county court to the United States dis
trict court for the district of Vermont
the case of Henry NJ. Ingram against
Alfred NJ. Crocker
This case is a suit for $1,000 dam
ages brought by Ingram as the result
Of an accident. He was riding in a
carriage on Western avenue which was
hit by an automobile driven by Crock
er.
Crocker's home is in Fitchburg,
Mass, although he has spent much time
in Brattleboro in recent months. This
and the fact that the suit is for more
than $4,000 is the basis for the petition
for the removal of the case to the
United States court.

GERMANY WARNS NORWAY.
Objects to Special Treatment of Sub
marines by Neutrals.

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Dee. >. -
The Dagbladet publishes an interview
with Herr Michaelis, German minister
to Norway, outlining Germany's point
of view on the submarine controversy
with Norway. The minister says in part
Germany cannot tolerate any special
treatment of war and merchant subma-
rines by neutrals. Norway is the sole
neutral which by special instructions
has conveyed the impression of adopt
ing the view of the entente.
Germany is permitted by interna-
tional law to defend herself with all
her powers against Norwegian ships
carrying contraband, which prolongs the
war; and the recent food crises in
Great Britain, France and Russia have
shown that Germany is on the right
path. Germany will not be deprived
of the sharp weapon she possesses in the
submarine. On the other hand, Ger
many win always respect Norway s
really difficult position, and the most we
expect of really Independent Norway is
that she does not treat German warfare
and German economic problems differ
emily than those of the enemy.''

Castleton Man Adopts Novel Method of
Amusing Himself.

CASTLETON, Dee. 2.-Richard Reb-
erts of this town, who was arraignea
Wednesday evening for intoxieatioa
and placed in the old stone Jail,
amused himself during the night BY
burning his clothing in the Jail stove,
one article after another, until he had
peeled down to his union suit. This he
decided to keep and it was his sole
article of attire when the iail was
opened in the morning.
1t was necessary to despatch mes.
senger to the man S home for a new
outfit before Roberts could be afraigaea
before Justice w. C. Rice. His fine and
costs amounted to $l2 which he ar
ranged to pay.
Roberts complained to Officer Carl
A. Beach, who made the arrest, about
the latter s carelessness in letting him
have access to the stove in which q
new fire had been lighted for his spe-
cial benefit.

TROUBLE ARISES
OVER ELECTION
1t May Be Many Months Before the

Shifting Arms and Munitions.

HAVANA, Cuba, Dee. 2.-Although
month has elapsed since Cuba s presi-
dental election the result is still in
doubt and many months may elapse be-
fore it is definitely known whether
President Menocal is reelected or is
defeated by DR.. Alfredo Zayas, the
Liberal candidate. Partial reflections
must be held in two provinces where
fraud or coercion interfered with the
voting. Conservatives claimed that
their supporters were intimidated by
Liberals in Santa Clara, province. Lib
eral sympathizers reply to these
charges with accusations of the illegal
use of the postoffice and telegraph by
the Conservatives.
Some extremists talk of revolution
and the destruction of the sugar cane
crop to force intervention by the Unit
ed States. The Cuban government is
shifting troops and munitions as Il pre-
caution to preserve order whatever the
final result.

Mist Pay Costs.

defendant in the first suit The suits
were over the possession of a farm in
Windham which the Simpsons claimed
Penor, who is the grandfather of Mrs.
Simpson, had promised to deed to them
if they would care for him until he
was through
In his finding of facts Chancellor
Slack found that Mr. Penor had told
others that he would deed the farm to
his granddaughter and had actually
made a deed but had never delivered it
and had later destroyed it. He found
also that Mr.. Penor was justified in
leaving the farm because his grand
daughter called him "old fool'' and
monkey" and permitted her children
to do 50.
In the decree it is provided that the
bill OF complaint be dismissed with
costs to the defendant and that on or
before December Is the plaintiffs shall
deliver TO the defendant the peaceable
possession of the farm and also the
personal property on it and that they
shall pay to him $l50.s4 with costs.
It is further provided that if the
plaintiffs comply with all of the pro
visions of the decrees and pay the addi-
tional sum Of $29.l6 before December

stantially the same amount of stock on

ly the amount of feed i'll so doing they
may remain on the farm until April

STREET IN
NEED OF ATTENTION
Such Thing as Being Too Economical
Simply Gutter in Spring and
Fall, Says Crosby.

Editor of The Reformer:-
| wish to call your attention to the
condition of Vernon street.
The amount of trucking over this
road exceeds any other in town, with
the possible exception of Fiat street,
and yet no attention is paid to the
pleas Of the manufacturers located on
this line to have the road put in suit
able shape. In the spring and fall it
IS simply gutter and if ones vehicle
IS in the ruts it is impossible to turn
out with a load to allow passing.
great deal of the unloading for
other industries takes place from the
siding near the Standard Oil building,
ana yet all summer it has either been
as rough as a mountain or like mill
pom.
Ii we wish healthy growth of our
industries and to give any encourage
ment to new industries, the highway
sholld be put and kept in excellent con
dation and the road should either be
constantly gravelled or macadamized
in order to stand heavy trucking.
The White River Chair company has
tried to do business in town for years
and their help have Travelled for years
without a sidewalk. There is such a
ming as being too economical, and, of
course, if there are no industries, there
are no improvements.
We could take a few lessons from
towns like Keene and Greenfield. who
realize that factories ara essential for
the maintenance of any town
