FERRY RIGHTS NOT
EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS
Interesting Grand Isle Case Decided By
Supreme Court.


Montpelier, Oct. 9.-Justice John H.
Watson in supreme court this morning
read an opinion in the case Of William
j. Jones VS.. Samuel Hoag and Ida c.
Hoag in Grand Isle county. This case
was argued last Thursday upon two
grounds, relative to the constitution
ality Of No. 25S of the acts Of 1915 Of
Vermont and whether the act as grant
ed gave the plaintiff the sole right to
operate a ferry between Rouses Point.
N. Y. and Windmill Point, VT. 1t was
reargument of the case. In the opln-
ion the court set forth many cases de-
cided similarly to the way in which
the justices had decided this one, which
was favorable to the defendant, and
holding that Jones does not have the
sole authority to operate a ferry be-
tween the points named.
The case was a bill and injunction to
restrain the defendants from operating a
ferry between the points given. Jones
had been given authority by the Legisla-
ture. The order in the case was: Decree
reversed and cause remanded, with the
direction that this demurrer be sustained.
The bill was adjudged insufficient. This
is an important case to the people living
in Grand Isle county because of the fact
that several ferry rights have been
granted by the Legislature in that county
in recent years and points in this case
may have a bearing upon the franchises
of some Of the other ferry rights.
Several cases which were set for trial
this term were continued this morning in

side the Senate chamber. might easily
nave heard the cavstic speech made
agains. the un-American utterances OF the
Wisconsin, senator by Senator Robinson.
Senator LaFolette began his defense
shortly after the Senate came into session
at ten o'clock. He read most of his
speech from manuscript At no time did
he display his characteristic vehemency.

of the government on the constitutional
right If free speech and asserted;
Net By tho breadth CT hair would ]
dev;ate from the course I mark out for
myself, guided by nuch knowledge os
car Obtain and controlled aud directed BY
a solemn convlction Of right and duty.
Senator LaFo!lette did not mention
MS ST. Paul speech. on which the APP
plications for his expulsion IRE largely
based. He devoted part OF his speech
10 arguing that, AS Congress was
charged ,with the prosecution of tho
war. it shoulG at the earliest possible
opportunity declare the purposes for
which the country was fighting.
LINKS KAISER AND LAFOLLETTH.
The climax to three nours of tense.
ness came when Senator Robinson OF
Arkansas launched n bitter personal at
tack upon Senator LaFollette. Facing
the accused senator just across the
aisle. he shouted:
IF 1 entertained the sentiments the
senator from Wisconsin has expressed
l would not think ] had a right to oc-
cupy seat in the United States Senate
I would apply to the Kaiser for seat
in the German Bundesrat."
Senator LaFollette did not raise his
head. He kept notes during most OF
the time the senator from Arkansas
was speaking, but did not have an op-
portunity to reply.
Senator Robinson piled denunciation
upon denunciaton. Throughout his
speech he linked the Kaiser with the
Wisconsin senator.
IF the Kaiser and the senator had
their way" he said, honesty would
become a tradition, and tyranny the
ruling power throughout the world
God pity the man who would paralyze
the arm of the American people in this
conflict"
