FALSE FIRE ALARM.
Annual Feature of Fourth of july Cele-
bration - Bonfire, Drum Corps and
Firecrackers.

The usual false alarm of fire from
box 10 on Canal street near the Brat
tleboro Memorial hospital was pulled
at 2.lo o clock on the morning of July
4. Some member of party of men who
used an automobile that reached the
box by way of Belmont avenue and re-
turned the same way at a rapid rate of
speed, pulled the alarm. The car was
seen by several residents of the street
who had been aroused by the noise
and it may not be beyond the ability
of the officials to identify the car. This
is the third "night before the fourth -
in succession that box ~, which would
be sounded for a fire at the Memorial
hospital, has been pulled. The fire truck
reached the scene just as the last blows
of the whistle were sounding, which
was very quick response.
The Fourth was ushered in with plen-
ty of noise by the small boys and some
who were not so small A bonfire at

WINS POINTS IN RUTLAND.
Edward Moran of Brattleboro Finishes
Well in Various Track Events, Win
ming High Hurdles.

Edward Moran of the Brattfeboro high
school competed Wednesday in some of
the events at Rutland staged by the ath.
letic association of Holy Innocents

tered that event and won second place

and turned around before the second man
had cleared the last hurdle. His time was
Is seconds.
He entered the 440-yard run and was
good second to Capt O'Brien of the Rut-
land high track team, who broke state in

NEW HAMPSHIRE REcEDEs.
Vermont Retaliated When Automobiles
Were Forced to Register-Controvers
Comes to an End.

The action of the state of New Hamp-
shire in requiring Vermont automobiles
visiting that state on more than 20 days
in year to take out New Hampshire
licenses, under the automobile laws of
the Granite state, was followed Friday
by retaliatory move by Secretary of
State Guy w. Bailey of Vermont Friday.
For few days thereafter business men
on both sides of the Connecticut river
were up in arms, but the matter has
blown over now, New Hampshire re-
ceding from her position and Vermont
hen doing likewise.
The Vermont law is reciprocal and
gives the secretary of state authority to
set in motion registration laws against
cars from other states if those states
require registration from Vermont cars
Accordingly, when Mr. Bailey was mott
fled that Bellows Falls man was as
sessed SlS on car which he did bust
ness with between Alstead and Bellows
Falls he issued to police officers along
Nermont's eastern border the following
notice:
Prospecting the registration of Yer
mont cars that tour in New Hampshire,
would say that you are hereby ad-
vised to require all persons that tour
III NtIhOHb LUZ ludH ~ udNS Ill
the calendar year, said persons coming
from New Hampshire, to register their
cars in Vermont. 1 would appreciate
your notifying all persons in your vicin-
| ity who are in the habit of coming to
Vermont from New Hampshire that it
will be necessary for them to take
out Vermont registration in order to
cover them while operating in this
state.''
This meant that New Hampshire cars
would be taxed 80 cents horse power.
or $ll for a 22-horse- power Ford and
from that amount up. New Hampshire
business men who come to Brattleboro
by automobile to do business threatened
to 60 elsewhere and Brattleboro business
men kicked at the prospect of losing
business, and all owners of cars in the
habit of crossing the river frequently
kicked because of the extra cost
As result officers on both sides of the
river have been given to understand that
they are not to see officially cars which
60 from one state to the other, and
business has resumed its normal routine
If New Hampshire wants to start some
thing, however, the Vermont secretary
of state is sufficiently equipped with
authority to hit back with telling force

Has the supreme court ever defined
the national constitution as to the right
Of woman suffrage?
The court has construed the opera.
ton of the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution on woman suffrage
That amendment, adopted in 1868, de-
clared that ''all persons born ur nat
uralized in the United. States ire citi-
zens Of the United States aud of the
state wherein they reside" and that
mo state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abriC~e the privileges
or immunities Of citizens OF lie United
States" This amendment to the con
stitutiOn was adopted 20 protest the
right of negroes TO vote, bat it wa
contended by some that il conferred
the right equally on women "a citizen
Of the United States. Several women
in different states voted or orp.pl to
vote, and the question OF their right
under the fourteenth amendment final
ly came before the supreme court.
The vote of Mrs. Virginia l.. Minor
was refused in st. Louis, and she
brought suit against the inspectors Of
election. The case was decided against
her in the circuit court Of the county
and the supreme court of Missouri.
She then carried it to the supreme
court Of the United States-Minor YER
sus Happensett ct al, October term.
1874. The case was argued by her
husband, Francis Minor. The decision
was delivered by Chief Justice Waite
March 20, 1875, and was in brief: "The
national constitution does not define
the privileges and immunities Of citi-
zens. The United States has no voters
Of its own creation. The constitution
does not confer the right Of suffrage
upon any one, but the franchise must
be regulated by the states. The four
teenth amendment does not add to the
privileges and immunities of a citizen;
it simply furnishes an additional guar
antee to protect those he already has.
Before the passage of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments the states
had the power to disfranclise on nc
scuus Of race or cnlor. These amend
