ICE CREAM DEALERS PROTEST.
Do Not Want Soldiers Barred From
Their Places of Business.

BURLINGTON, Sept. 6.-The publ
cation of an order from the commanding
colonel at Fort Ethan Allen forbidding
the men at the fort from eating ice
cream In this city, Winooski and Essex
Junction has raised a storm of protest.
Col. Rivers denies having issued such
an order but the soldiers claim that the
order was read at mess by the mess
sergeant.
Local druggists and ice cream dealers
report that the men state they are not
buying their goods because of the or
der issued by the commander. Col
Rivers now states that the order is not
to be put in effect for the present. The
case OF infantile paralysis in this city
was thought to be the reason for the is
suance of the order.
