TRIED AT REGULAR TERM.
No Special Session to Hear st. Albans
Murder Case.

ST. ALBANS, Aug. 31.-No special
session of Franklin county court will
be called for the trial of the ease of the
state against Private Warm of the 18th
United States cavalry, stationed at
Fort Ethan Allen, who is charged with
the murder of Jennie Hemingway, l 4
years old.
This was the decision yesterday after
noon of Judge Zed S. Stanton of Rox
bury, who is presiding. The case is set
for trial Tuesday morning. Sept. / at
9 o'clock, the opening day of the reg
ular term. Chief Judge f. L. Water
man of Brattleboro will preside
C. g. Austin & Sons were assigned by
the court as counsel for the respondent.
Judge Stanton was in consultation
with Roswell NJ. Austin of this firm
and State s Attorney w. R. McFeeters.
Mr.. Austin asked that no special term
be called, his argument being that not
sufficient time was available to prepare
the case properly.

Lincoln's Three Books.

The Bible is literary, poetical, his
torical and educational. Abraham
Lincoln had only three books in his
early manhood; the Bible, Aesop's
Fables and Weem g History of the
United States. The Bible was the
great book that gave our martyred
president his simple, tender, beautiful
literary stvle, both for speaking and
writing. The Fables gave him his story
illustrations. while the History made
him familiar with the great characters
and events of the nation. Leave the
Bible out of his life and he might have
been a moral wreck; at least, there
would have been no Abraham Lincoln
as the world sees him today.
Young man, the dust on your Bible
may be the cause of your downfall =
your failure in this life, as well as in
the life to come. If you are not lover
of the Divine counsel, you will grad
ually drop out of Sunday school, the
church, the worship and the service of
the living God. You will become a
stranger and a foreigner when you
! should be fellow citizen of the New
| Jerusalem on earth and the capital city
of the Celestials in the heavenly world
When you see this red light of warn
+, ing, heed it; step off the track lead
| ing to ruin into the way of holiness, hap
/ piness and usefulness forever-Tht

AGREEMENT AS TO

Hearing Set for Today Not Held :
Abutment to Be Moved After Gov

The hearing scheduled to be held in
Newfane before the public service com
mission today ON the petition of the town
Of Newfane that an order be issued re-
the Central Vermont Railway
Co. from making certain proposed changes
at the overpass near Salmon Hole bridge
was not held, the parties coming to an
agreement
On account of a crack in the west abut-
ment to the overpass the railroad company
planned to build cement retaining wall
about the abutment, which the town of
Newfane through Attorney A Y. ID. Pip
er. claimed would make still more dan
gerous the already too narrow highway at
that point The town asked not only that
the proposed work be prevented but that
the railroad company be ordered to 50 re-
pair the abutment that the road might
be made wider
1t appeared that the government had
ordered the railroads not to eXpend mon
ey in repair work except in cases of mr.
gent need because of the needs Of the
government for the best service the rail
roads can give during the war. II was
Iagreed therefore that the railroad com
pany should build retaining wall on the
south side Of the abutment, but not or
the side facing the highway, and that
after the government embargo was lifted
the railroad company should move tho
abutment back four feet
For the present, therefore the road
way will remain as it Is is now and tn,

War Will Be Over Before All
Money is in Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. - 4 unan-

troops abroad without their consent was
ordered today by the senate military
committee. Favorable recommendation
was given Senator Fletcher S bin pro-
viding that enlistment of Americans

Germany shall not cause loss of Ameri-
can citizenship.
Senator Harding of Ohio opened 20
day 5 debate on the war tax bill with
an argument for caution against too
drastic conScription of wealth. He
urged that taxes be levied which would
not cripple business or deplete reserve
strength of the nation and its ability to
carry further loads.

first year of the war than Great Britain

ROME, August 3 1t is stated at the
vatican that Pope Benedict on receiving
President Wilson's reply 10 the pontifl's
peace proposal did not attempt to conceal
his bitter disappointment and that he re-
CARDS the Presidents answer rs leaving
little room for further peace efforts at

IL had been no secret that the pope
hoped for more favorable response from
the United States than from anywhere
else. Before President Wilson's reply
was read it was said at the vatican that
the responses from the various govern
ment- were expected to be more favorable
than the tone of the Presidents comment,

Manley Brothers against John Frost of
Vernon, in which Manlev Brothers seek
to recover about $50 and interest for a
bill of goods and automobile repair work

for a Goodyear tire which Mr. Frost
claims he never received. Frost brought
witnesses from Vernon who testified to
his having tires from other places but
not from Brattleboro so far as they
knew. Attorney o. B. Hughes appeared
for the plaintiff and Attorney A. F.

CATCH BASINS TOO SMALL.
Mr. Holden Says That Is Why Canal

Editor of The Reformer:-

| noticed your item in The Reformer
referring to my personally conducted
tour, and also the comment on the
condition of the road on Canal street.
| think that if anyone will take the
trouble to go and look this road over,
they will plainly see that the trouble
lies in the fact that the catch basins
over the sewer are not onefourth as
large as they should be TO carry off the
surface water from a shower like the
one which we had on the Both inst,
consequently the water has TO run down
over the road. If these catch basins
were made deeper so as to turn the
water into the sewer. there would be
little trouble in fixing the road on Ca
nal street, and in such a way as to
make il stay permanently.
