George E. Glasser Arrested in Burling
ton Last Night.

Burlington, April 5.--George Z. Glas'
SER who claimed to have been held up
on Shelburne road last fall, when a good
sized wad of money was taken from his
pocketbook, jumped into the police lime
light again late last night, when he was
arrested on warrant made out by
States Attorney Theodore Il. Hopkins,
charging him with the theft of a Cole
car, which he has been offering for sale
in this city. The car in question was
stolen from Buffalo, n. ", last November
and certain evidence tends to prove that
it is the one now in possession of Glas-
ser. Glasser, however, claims that he
bought the car in regular manner and
paid for it. He also claims that he has
papers of sale and insurance papers
which will prove it.
Yesterday afternoon Glasser was i'll
this city with the car, but took it to
Vergennes and later returned without It.
He was arrested Mt the Walker block
late last night. He was held without
bail by the police department over night
and to-day an officer will be sent to Yer
gennes with him and the car will be
brought back to this city.
On the 23d of last October CHASER
went to the police office with story
of having been held up on shelburnc
road by two men, who after they had
forced him to stop his car, went through
his clothes and took S72 in cash The
police investigated the case and found
the mans coat, wallet and robe on
Shelburne road, the wallet being empty.
The highwaymen never attempted like
hold-up afterwards 1t is understood the
man has been dealing in second. hand
,ars.

South of Douaumont, a Ger
man Attack Was Hurled
Back, and the German
Lines Were Driven in Dis
order Toward Chauffeur
WO0d-West of the Meuse
It Was Quiet

Paris, April 5-The French gained
ground north of Caillette wood, north
east of Verdun, in the course of several
engagements during the night, the wal
office announced this afternoon. West OF
the Meuse there were no events of i'm
portance. Twenty mines which had been
thrown into the Meuse at st. Mihiel by
the Germans were exploded by the
French with no damage.
The French official statement last
night told of the repulse of powerful
German attack against the first lines of
the French south of Douaumont. The
statement reads as follows;
North of the Aisne and in the Ar
gonne our batteries effectively shelled
the enemy organizations.
''West Of the Meuse an enemy attack
on the village of Haucourt completely
failed.
EAST of the Meuse during the course
of the day the bombardment was re-
sumed with great violence between Dou-
aumont and Vaux. The Germans launched
very powerful attack against our first
lines about 300 metres south of the vii
lage of Douaumont. The successive
waves of the assault, which were fol-
lowed by small attacking columns, were
swept down by our curtain of fire, and
the fire OF our machine guns and infan
try forced to retreat In disorder in the
direction of the Bois Chauffeur, where
our artillery, concentrating its fire, in
ficted considerable losses on the enemy.
'North of the Caillette wood our
troops continued to progress In the
course of the day.
ain the Woeyre there was an artillery
duel in the sectors at the foot of the
Meuse hills.
"In the Vosges, after a spirited bonn
bardment of our positions southeast of
Seppois, the Germans attempted to reach
our trenches, but were driven back to
their own lines by our barrier fire."

NO OBJECTIONS RAISED.
To Railroad Siding Desired by Boutwell,,
Milne h varnum.

Two of Vermont's public service com
missioners met in the court room at city
hall Tuesday afternoon to conduct a
hearing on the petition of the Barre s
Chelsea railroad for the right to lay a
of one of the Boutwell,, Milne & Varnum
qusrries in upper Graniteyille, Chairman
Robert G. Bacon was not present at the
hearing, but w. X. Warner of vergennes
and w. A. Dutton took part in the brief
proceedings They were accompanied by
their clerk. States Attorney F. e. Glea
son appeared for the state and Mayor
James NJ. Boutwell, of Montpelier rep
resented Boutwell, Milne & Varnum-
Harry C. Shurtlef of Montpelier ap.
peared for the railroad.
The board convened at 3 o'clock and
when no one had appeared to oppose the
petition, adjournment was taken five
afterward. In all probability
the commission will issue an order in
few days authorizing the railroad to lay
steel for a siding to the quarry, over
which coal is to be conveyed. The fact
that the siding is TO be located in a Sec
tion where the public travels seldom, ii
ever, probably accounts for the last of
to the request.
While the commissioners were picking
up their papers preparatory to depart
ing, City Attorney William Wishart and
Aldermen Rossi and Bruce of the street
appeared for a conference on
the proposal to establish gates at the
South Main street crossing of the Barre
( Chelsea railroad. The officials init
mated that similar requests might be
made with respect to crossings at Pros
oeet and Granite streets. After hearing
he representatives of the city, the com
mission suggested that il would be well
10 reduce the request to writing and
present il to the railroad officials, re
ierving the privilege to appeal to the
commission for a hearing il the request
s not granted. II is understood that
he street committee has forwarded
written request 20 the railroad.

him in the nose and in the mouth, so that
they bled. Newell showed the scar on
his nose to the jury.
They ordered Newell off the premises
and he went, but said he would return.
He went to the house and got his rifle,

your head off"
At his fathers direction Newell then

him. When they got there Gibson, Fred i
and Scion Spaulding and Will Morse |

 Whereas. The saloon trust Is mak- ing use or Juggled statistics. false- hoods manufactured by criminal in- terests, allied to the alcohol vendors and derogatory statements made by a few unreliable and irresponsible citizens of Kansas, all with the in- tention of creating prejudice in the minas of the legislators of other states, and thus influencing proposed anti-liquor legislation, and
 Whereas. There is a lobby, the mem bers of which profess to be Kansas men, operating in the. legislature ot the state of Utah, and alleging tha, evil follows in the train of prohibi- ton. and that the enforcement of the prohibitory law in Kansas has result ed in multiplying crime and deter iorating all the mental and moral fa- culties of the people of Kansas; therefore. be 1t
 Resolved, By the senate, the house of representatives concurring therein That all of such charges are libelous and false. and do but represent the sentiments of men who. when this state exiled the saloon, were con- pelled to leave Kansas for her good.
 Resolved, That the reverse of these statements is true; that the state of kansas is cleaner, better, more ad- vanced in mental culture, and strong CT in moral fiber and conviction; that her homes are happier and more com fortable. her children better educated thar ever before In her history; that criE.e Is less prevalent and poverty less general: and that all this Is due largely to the fact that the saloon is sCch an outlaw that none of her school children have ever seen sa- loon, and are unacquainted with the 1t further

WOMEN'S VOET IN ILLINOIS.
27O,2O1 Chicago Women Went to
the Tolls.

The women of Chicago made their
best voting record at the election last
week since the passage OF the SUI
frage act. There were 270,201 wo-
men in Chicago who went to the
polls. The Cook county women sent
the totals up to 305,9 Some of tn :
totals follow:
Hughes women in Chicago, 1875,
$50.
Wilson women in Chicago, $780,
051.
hughes women in country towns
of county, 21,953.
Wilson women in country towns
of county, 1880.
The vote of the Socialists, Social
list Labor, and Prohibitionists in
creased the total about 5000. The
women did not vote the Prohibition
and Socialist tickets as strong as in
the mayoralty election. They seemed
to be more anxious that their votes,
the first ever cast for president,
should count. Many women of the
minor parties voted the Republican
and Democratic tickets.
Thirty-nine per cent Of the entire
vote in Chicago belonged to the wo-
men. Their record of registered
voters voting was slightly under that
of the men. There were SO per cent
of the registered women who voted
and 92 per cent of the registered
men who went to the polls. The
vote of the women was 60 per cent
of that polled by the men.
With the downstate vote it is esti-
mated that the total for women in
Illinois will amount to 100000.
