POLICE CHARGE
THE PARADERS
Rout Them After a Lively
Battle-"Wai Till To-mor-
row" Was Parting Cry

Montreal, Aug. 3l.-The placing o
the conscription upon the statute bool
was followed by the worst exhibition
of violence, both in works and deeds
since the agitation against conscriptior
started. Only strong charge by armed
police following an orgy of window
smashing and firing of revolvers prevent
ed more serious rioting. And even then
the police were received with hurricane
of bricks and other missiles and were
forced to club the rioters TO break up
the crowd, which was assuming threat
ening proportions.
The disturbance had its origin in a
mass meeting in the French section of
the city at which collection of Sl6l,
including one check for 500, was taken
up 'for the purpose of buying rifles and
ammunition to resist conscription," as
the collectors stated and as the announc-
er of the amount taken reiterated. Fol-
lowing this meeting, at which cries of
"erucify them" were leveled at the heads
of the government, the parade was or
ganized All along the route revolvers
were fired promiscuously,
The chief of police, Mr.. Campeau, had
followed the evenings doings most care
fully, and when the rioters were seeing
red about midnight, strong body of po-
lice, with drawn batons, charged down
on the mob. In the first rush to escape
the onslaught of the police, section of

next minute bedlam was loose. Passing
a house in course of erection in their
flight, the rioters reformed their ranks
and, using the building materials and
bricks for ammunition, turned on the po-
lice
The bluecoats retired for a moment,
but suddenly, amid barrage OF bricks,
they charged down, using the business
end of their clubs and the crowd scat
tered with yells of Wait till tomorrow

KERWIN GUILTY

Trial in Bradshaw Case Set for To-day,

Be Asked.

st. Johnsbury, Aug. 3l.--The special
grand jury which has been hearing the
evidence in the cases against the two
women and man charged with the muir
der of eight yearold Alice Bradshaw
has brought in three true bills, charging
Mrs. Alvah Kennersop and Eta May
Hicks with murder and John Kerwin
alleged brother of Mrs. HENDERSON, as
an accessory after the fact.
Yesterday morning Kerwin appeared in
court and pleaded guilty, His case was
continued for sentence.
The special petit jury CAM. IN to-day,
when the case against Mrs. HENDERSON is
set for trial Before this is taken up the
attorneys for the defense will ask the

Basic Price Per Bushel Set
by President for This
Years Crop
MEANS 14-OUNCE
LOAF FOR A NICKEL
Figure Reached After Sew
eral Clashes Between
Producers and Labor

Washington, Aug. 3l.--A price of $22
a bushel was fixed for the 1917 crop OF
wheat by President Wilson last night on
the recommendation of the wheat price
committee headed by DIR. H, A. Garfield.
The basis will be number one northern
spring wheat delivered at Chicago.
The committee finally agreed late yes.
terday afternoon after several days of
voting. At one time yesterday it looked
as if it would be unable to come to con-
clusion but just before 6 o'clock com
promise was reached and the last vote
was unanimous.
Representatives of the producers began
by voting for a price of $3.50 and labors
representative for Sl.s4. The two ex-
tremes eventually narrowed down until
the votes were only few cents apart
and most of the days voting showed
only slight difference. Both factions
appeared uncompromising at the start.
On the basis of S2.20 at Chicago, the
food administration worked out last
night differentials for the various grades
and classes and for the several termi-
nails.
The price fixed last night is 20 cents
higher than that named for the 1918 crop
by Congress in the food control bill. The
So price set by Congress was taken into
consideration by the committee in con-
sidering a fair valuation of this years
crop.
In statement accompanying the an
nouncement of the price President VIII |
son declares it is the hope of the food |
and his own as well, that |
the fixing of a price will stabilize the
market and keep prices within moderate
bounds for all transactions during the
current year.
The price of flour and bread, too, the
president declares, will be kept down.
All members agreed in their discus.
sions that the price fixed will permit of
4 14-ounce loaf of bread for five cents,
allowing fair profit both to the -four
and the baker

TO TRY WARM SEPT. II
Regular Session Of Franklin County
Court Will Hear Case.

st. Albans, Aug. 3I.--No special ses.
sion of Franklin county court will be
called for the trial Of the case Of Pri-
yate Robert Warm, member Of the 18th
United States cavalry, stationed at Fort
Ethan Allen, who late Wednesday after
noon was arrested on the charge of muir
dering Jennie Hemingway, IA years old
Such was the decision yesterday after
noon of Judge Zed S. Stanton. Roswell
M. Austin, of the law firm of c. q. Aus
tin & Sons, which has been assigned to
defend the respondent, appeared before
Judge Stanton and asked that no special
term be called, as there would not be
sufficient time to prepare the case prop
erly. States Attorney W. R. McFeeters
was anxious for quick trial on ae-
count of the uncertainty of the length of
time the troops would remain at the fort,
and it being probable that soldiers would
be needed as witnesses in the case.
The case is set for trial at o'clock
Tuesday morning, Sept. II, the opening
day of the September term of court.
Chief Judge f. L. Waterman of Brattle-
boro will preside.
Following the announcement of this |
decision the special session of court |
which convened Tuesday morning, that |
the case in connection with the death of |
the Hemingway girl might be consid-
cred by the grand jury, adjourned, Judge
Stanton presided over the session and
with him on the bench were Assisting
Judges +. w. Foster of this city and
c. A. Gardyne of Montgomery.
Mr. Austin, who visited Warm at the
Jail yesterday morning, says the young
nan realizes the gravity of the situation,
out is confident time will prove his inno-
,ence of the crime.

that no one was seriously hurt. J. Jay

You've Got to Want Things Hard to Get
Them.

just wanting something will rarely
obtain it for you. You've got to go
out and get it for yourself. In an arti-
Gle called Increase Your Driving Pow
er," in the September American Maya
zine, a writer quotes an authority as
saying;
"After all, man does what he wants
TO do. Therefore, he must be taught as
a child, and he must learn in adult
years to teach himself, to want to do
the right thing and the big thing and
to want il so hard that he is bound to

when it sits on the floor and squalls for
piece of candy. But il is very diff
ferent thing from wanting something so
much that il is willing to set about il
and undertake AZ once the doing Of the
impossible
The trouble with the average man Is
that he does not want things hard

MORE INFANTRYMEN DEPART.
Fifty Leave for New Haven to Join the
102d Infantry.

Burlington, Aug. 3l.-Preparations are
rapidly being completed incidental to the
departure of the remainder of the 1st
Vermont regiment. The tents are to be
taken down and dried before packing.
They will all be taken down by the reg
iment The mess shacks will be left
standing and the floors of the tents will
be stored in them. The remainder of
the men are being equipped with the
necessary material incidental to their
leaving.
Those BOYS who still remain are far
from pleased with the idea of being
broken up and separated from the part
of the regiment that left last week, The
whole regiment will ultimately be en-
tirely split up in innumerable sections.
This means much more to the boys, who
have been together much longer than
most people realize, but as the same
thing is being done to National Guard
regiments in other states, no complaint
can be made.
No information has been received as
to the disposition of the officers or men
who still remain with the regiment. A
detachment of so men was ordered to
leave last night for New Haven. Conn,
where il will be attached to the l02d
for the present. A lieutenant
accompanied them, but will return later.
1t is understood that the orders re-
eeived at headquarters stated that the
regiment should make preparations to
depart at once, but owing to the great
amount of work connected with the
packing process it is doubtful if they
an leave before Sunday.

handling of traffic, the prevention OF
petty thieving and the preservation OF
general good order. AT all times quiet
dignity must prevail throughout the
grounds and courtesy TO all should be
the motto of every employe, said Mr.,
Bessenger, in closing his paper.
The paper on lot pricing by Supt. Rudd
showed the results of painstaking study
and schedule attached to his and sup
plementing his more informal remarks
vase carefully studied by the superin-
tendents. He warned against getting
into rut and described the practice of
establishing an arbitrary price as cam.
paign against the line of least resistance
The plan advocated by Mr., Rudd in
volved the pricing and listing of each lot
on sale separately. In pricing cemetery
lots it is discerned presently that a lot
in one section may easily be so per cent
more desirable than another. This is
proved under the old system when all of
the more desirable lots were quickly sold.
The factor of overhead costs enters
lnto tne question: anu lhe price Oh lhe
lot and this factor are closely connected.
1t costs as much to sell cheaper lot as
the more expensive one and the overhead
is going on all the time. The superin-
tendent should plan carefully to study
each section, block off together such lots
as from their location and advantages
are equally desirable, and fix a minimum
price per square foot for each block or
group, which may be called basic price
This done. it only remains to apply the
schedule appended to the individual lots
