BAR-KEEPER HEAVILY FINED.
But Proprietor Powell Was Freed in
Burlington Court.

Burlington, Aug ia fine of 81 200,
the largest ever imposed in city court for
a violation of the law regarding the
sale of intoxicating liquor, was imposed
yesterday by Judge c. $. Palmer on John
Dunn, formerly bartender at the Hotel
Vermont, who pleaded guilty to a charge
of three counts regarding the illegal
sale of liquor. The offenses to which
Mr. Dunn pleaded guilty occurred last
Sunday afternoon in the bar-room of the
Hotel Vermont. The costs in the case
amounted to S7.25. Mr. Dunn made ar
rangements to pay.
The three counts against Max L.
Powell, charging the same offenses to
which Mr.. Dunn pleaded guilty, were
uole pressed upon Rufus E. Browns rep
resentation to the court that Mr.. Powell
never knowingly tolerated any infraction
of the letter of the law at his hotel, and
also because Mr. Dunn took the blame
for the illegal sale of liquor at the hos
telry.
States Attorney Allen Martin, who is
sued the warrant for the raid to the
sherifis from Orange county, as a part
of his program of stamping out the il
legal sale of intoxicating liquro both in
this city and county, told the court that
he thought that the state would be salts
fed with this manner of disposing of this
case II should prove, he said, les
son to those who intended to violate the
law in the future. He was also of the
opinion that this fine, the largest ever
imposed in this city for similar offense,
would tend to act as a deterrsnt, in the
future.

DENOUNCED SOCIALISTS.
Charles Edward Russell, Former Mem
Der, Says They Have Ruined Party

Washington, D. c., Aug. ll,--Aroused
by the paciist meeting Thursday in the
capitol, Charles Edward Russell for
mer Socialist and now member of the
returned commission to Russia, yester-
day denounced all persons proposing
peace at this time or failing in un-
swerKing support of the administration.
Mr.. Russell was particularly severe in
his criticism of Socialists and members
of Congress aiding the peace propaganda
Incidentally he declared, as result of
peace activities in the United States,
Socialists have absolutely ruined their
party. Mr.. Russell said the party now
consists of little more than an alien pro-
German element. The men who were in
it for such uplift as they could bring to
the working people, he said, must seek
elsewhere for political affiliations.
Zone peace resolution offered in the
United States Congress to-day is a great
er asset to the kaiser than thousand
men on the firing line" Mr.. Russell said.

plain enough, and so we were very much

But now that we have cooled off a
bit, having had several other things to
think about, it may be well to look at
this aerial problem from a slightly diff

MOLDAVIA BATTLE

Rumanians May Lose the Only Remain

Teuton Attacks.

London, Aug ll.-Military critics here
are watching the German attack in Ru-
mania with anxious interest, the greater
part of Moldavia, the only section of
the country remaining in Rumanian
hands, being attacked, as shown by Off
cial dispatches from the west and south,
and the Russians and Rumanians who,
until recently, conducted a victorious of
fensive, are now losing ground at all
points.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's thrust
in the neighborhood of Fokshani is the
most serious of the operations being car
led out by the German troops, and the
furious resistance of the allies is not

For Calling Out of First Increment of
National Army.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE date
for calling the first increment of 100000
men into the ranks of the National army
may be changed from September to 4.
September l is followed by Sunday and
labor Day, and because of the heavy
railroad traffic at that time, due to hol-
iday excursions draft officials fear the
work of transporting the men to can
tonments might be interfered with seri-
ously. Provost Marshal General Crowd

surances can be had that troop trans
portation can be handled without delay
during the holiday period, a change in
dates will not be required.

her story that she cried all night after

and that she was glad Adroitly ques-
toned by Pinkerton man she admit
ted that they killed the little girl in the

Asked why she had told such varying
stories about the hiding place of the
body she said she had intended to tell
about half the truth all the time. 1t
