WILSON SAFELY HOME.
Fear that Submarine Was Aaft-
er Him.

Washington, D. c., Sept. l7.-President
Wilson returned to Washington from
New York by train last night, ending the
longest stay away from his desk since
last fall when Germany was observing
her submarine pledges. He and Mrs
Wilson were given a hearty greeting by
crowd gathered at the station.
There had been no announcement con-
cerning the presidents movements since
Saturday and in view of unconfirmed re-
ports of submarines off the coast the pos
sibility that he might return on the
yatcht Mayfiower was discussed by the
public here with no little apprehension.
1t was even suggested that wire
less message from spy telling of the
presidents cruise on the Mayflower
might have reached U-boat in the At
lantic and brought her into the coast in
search of bigger game than merchant
ships.
The president and Mrs. Wilson left
at midnight week ago Fri
lay by train for New York. There they
boarded the Mayfower for trip to
Mass.

ATTACKED WITH WHIP
Barre Motorists Recent Strange Treat
ment in Waterbury.

To be motoring quietly along shaded
highway and TO receive a sharp cut on
the face with a whip was the experience
which Barre touring party encountered
in the village of Waterbury Saturday
afternoon. Bound for Hyde Park, Mr..
and Mrs. A. 4. Campbell and son and
Mr.. and Mrs. II. L. Campbell were about
to turn aside to pass a tale team ahead
of them Just north of the covered bridge
when a man who approached in a car
riage leaned out of the vehicle and
fetched the driver, A. +. Campbell, a clip
across the cheek with his whip. On the
second blow, ii. L. Campbell, in the back
seat, received glancing blow from the
whip, a long, willow withe which the
teamster handled ferociously. Turning
about, the Campbell party gave chase, as
the man in the team whipped up his
horse and made for the village limits.
Near the bridge the motorists over
hauled the man and demanded an ex-
planation while sitting a natural desire
to muss up the landscape with their as
sailant. The man proved to be Philip
Shonio, Duxbury farmer, and while he
claimed at first that the automobile was
him, he expressed desire to
settle before the conference ended
Messrs. Campbell decided that settle
ment was due elsewhere and have taken
up the matter with the authorities. A
crowd gathered while Shonio
was explaining, and the opinion prevailed
bat the motorists might have been JUS
.ified in taking the matter of redemption
nto their own hands.

room Saturday.
Officer Walker says he had gone but
a short distance up Lake street Friday
evening with a prisoner, whom he had
arrested on charge of intoxication,
when Bordo and his brother, Louis Bor-
do, demanded that Walker release the
man and made efforts to get him.
The officer fell and as the men adj
yanced drew revolver and told them
to keep back. John Bordo, according
to the officer, failed to heed the warning

MATTER CLEANED UP.
Son of Member Of District Board Not
Yet 81.

Shortly after the appointment of the
federal district board, Gov H. F. Graham
received an anonymous letter with a
Barre date line. objecting to the appoint
ment by the federal government when
it named Alexander Ironside of Barre as
one of the board. II was set forth in
the latter that Mr.. Honside had son
who was at that time within draft age
and therefore should not be allowed to
act on the board
Although the governors office made no
commotion about the affair, the matter
has been cleared up. A letter was sent
to Aberdeen, Scotland, where the son,
Alexander, was born and Saturday Gov
Graham received the reply stating that
the young man was born in that place
Sept. "a, 1896. The letter was mailed
from here Aug. s, and the return letter
was mailed from Aberdeen Aug 27, and
enclosed a certificate from the registrar
in that city not only showing that the
young man would not be of age until the
oath of this month, but that the mail
service between this country and Scot
land, in spite of the war, is rather eff
cient

ALSO HINTED AT
SOME TROUBLE
State Began Putting in Re-
buttal at st. Albans
To-day

st. Adams, Sept. 1.-THE state this
morning began the rebuttal in the case
of Robert Warm, the L. s. cavalryman
who is charged with the murder of Ia
year.old Jennie Hemingway in this
city last month The rebuttal began
with the offering, as an exhibit, of letters
written by the respondent to the Hem
mingway girl Counsel for the respond.
ent objected, stating that If it could
be pointed out where they were rebuttal
of the evidence of the defense they would
be received. The states counsel said
that the letters were offered as tending
to show the relations between the re.
spondent and Jennie Hemingway, claim
ing that the correspondence would show
that these were not quite as claimed by
the respondent and as testified by him.
Six of the letters were admitted by
the court and were then read to the
jury, They were filled with protestations
of love and a desire TO marry the girl
but at times limited at the apparent
indifference on her part and hinted to-
ward the last of some trouble. One of
the letters referred to a belief that the
writer would soon be sent to France and
urged her to marry him before he went,
saying that she would receive his money
every month.
One letter contained this expressions
You know | would comfort and protect !
you from all harm"
Two fellow soldiers Of Warm were on |
the stand this morning, they being
Clyde B. Meyer and Sergeant Luther
NJ. Godfrey. The testimony of Meyer
was to the effect that he came to St. /
Albans one Sunday to get man, Garvey,
ont of Jail, took him to the fort at
$500, placed him under arrest, releasing
him the next morning at about 1880
o'clock. Sergeant Godfrey testified to
going to the Hemingway home and
lsking Warm to go back to the fort or
rive the man from whom he had bor-
owed leggings his property. Warm re-
olied that he was on pass and would
lot 90 back till Sunday morning. God
rey then asked him if he did not know
hat he could be tried at the post for
borrowing clothing of other men. Ser
,eant Godfrey then left Warm and
vent back to the fort.

RIOT AT PEACE MEETING.
Chairman and Woman Speaker Were Ar
rested at Hartford, Conn.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. l7.-Riotou'
scenes marked meeting at Socialist hal
here yesterday of the Hartford branch
of the Peoples Council of America fol
Democracy and Peace, eliminating in the
arrest of the speaker, Mrs. Annie r
Hale of New York and chairman, Alfred
E. Whitehead of this city, and the abrupt
ending of the meeting by the police.
Long before Chairman Whitehead
opened the meeting the hall was crowded
many apparently being drawn to it by
the agitation of the past week seeking
to forbid it. Frequent cheers and some
Kisses greet the speaker during the part
| of her speech that she was permitted to
deliver. When the woman was ordered
to stop speaking there was an excited
rush by the audience for the platform,
chairs being overturned, and benches
thrust aside in the dash toward the
speaker. One man advanced down the
hall shaking his first at the speaker, de-
claring that she had insulted the presi-
dent For few moments the situation
looked serious but the police and federal
agents at once cleared the hail.
The meeting had been announced as
in commemoration of the l30th anniver
sary of the drawing up of the constitu-
tion of the United States. In the course
of her address Mrs. Hale said she felt
she had right to "admonish" the presi-
dent out of the Scriptures, because she
had worked for his election. Now she
did not know whether apologize for hav-
ing done so or to be proud of him. One
of the best things he had ever said in
L IL ,l. L.,
'stoo proud to fight" She said she claimed
her constitutional right to criticize the
president and that because she was his
personal friend, she could say what she
pleased. She criticized the president for
turning away from the peace vote of
the Reichstag,' which she said repre-
sented the German people, adding that
had this government received this vote |
as il should the world would now be |
verv near peace. The president, she |
said, had not answered any peace pro-
posals until one had been made by that |
greatest of all spiritual autocrats in
pope
WAR" she declared, "is born of cow
ardice and based on craven imaginings
An Individuals made 10 kill another in
divided with whom he has no quarrel in
4 conflict brought about by the trader
behind the lines. II Is stupid and shame
ful. and it is time for the world to make
common cause TO end this travesty. 1t
S about time for the people to tell their
rulers to stand aside and that they
themselves will make the world safe for
democracy. Government must have a re-
birth" II
Mr.. Hale said: The kaiser was fright
ned Of being attacked when he went
nto Belgium. but that does not justify
his country in going over TO fight Ger
nany because Of a belief that fifty years
ience Germany may make war on this
ountry."
At this point the police interferred.
Before the meeting q member of the
Hartford branch carried huge red flag
nto the hall which De PLACED on the wall q
.eside the American flag already IN I
lace. II was allowed 10 remain. {
