KAISER'S ORDER THWARTED.
And Only Three Mutineers in German

covered in the Germany navy, Wilhelm
Dttman, Socialist member, said the pun

collectively to 200 years penal servi.
ture, and that several men had been con.
demned to death.
A mutiny is reported to have occurred
on the German warship Nurnberg, which
was at sea- The men seized the officers
and proceeded in the direction of Norway
with the intention of being interned
The Nurnberg was overtaken and forced
TO surrender.
Emperor William went to Wilhelmha-
ven and ordered that one out of every
seven mutineers be shot. Chancellor Mi
chaelis protested, with the result that
only three were shot. Heavy sentences
were imposed on the others.
Emperor Williams visit TO Wilhelms-
haven in company with Chancellor Mi
chaelis, was made after the mutiny had
been suppressed.
The chancellor's objections TO the en-
peror's order that one mutineer in every
seven be shot was on the ground that
he could not assume such responsibility
before the Reichstag.
One of the reasons for the mutiny was
bad and inadequate food.

SLACKERS SENTENCED.
Arthur Magoon of Barre Gets Six
Months Term.

| Rutland, Oct lin the United
States district court here yesterday
Judge Harland b, Howe Of st. Johnsbury
sentenced four slackers to terms rangine
from one to six months in some county
ing to whether the young men affected
had shown disposition to register on
June 5, 1917, for military duty and had
made an attempt TO eude the officers
This was practically the only business
done in court during the day
The sentences imposed were as follows:
Arthur Magoon of Barre, six months in
Washington county Jail at Montpelier;
Albert J, Massey, East Hardwick, four
months in Washington county jail;
George r. Blair. st. Albans, four months
in Franklin county jail at St Albans;
Howard j. Jenne, Newport, 30 days in
Orleans county Jail at Newport.
Judge Howe said that it was an honGr
to serve the nation and those who seek
to avoid il should be punished. He vas
satisfied that Magoon had refused to
register and had sought to elude the of.
fcers and thus escape the penalty aud
for this reason the court gave the young
man the most severe sentence of all.
Jenne's case was different from the 9TH
ers in that he had shown disposition
to register by writing the clerk of his
home town, st. Johnsbury, and had told
the officers where he could be found when
as he was an express messenger
and runs into Canada on train. The
court thought his case one of Needless
ness but believed punishment should be
inflicted to convince him that there was

Crowds Flocked to Park.

New York, Oct. Il.--After keeping the
baseball fans on the anxious seat for sew
eral hours to-day, the sun broke through
the clouds about noon and made practi-
cally certain the playing of the fourth
game in the worlds series between the
Giants and the White Sox. An early
morning rain with lowering clouds con.
tinuing during the forenoon had made
it doubtful if the game could be played,
but thousands of enthusiastic followers
of the sport, determined to be on hand

their places in the grandstands long be.

SEVERAL FACTORIES
WERE WIPED OUT
In $4,000 Fire in Burlington Last Night
Many Homes Were En-
dangered.

| Burlington, Oct. ll.--About 20 persons
are thrown out of employment and $50.
900 damage was done by fire in the old
skating rink building and an annex at
the corner of Church and King streets
last night.
| Before the last embers from the burn
| ing building had been drowned out by
the tiremen, the W. c. Hoag company,
owners of the toy and novelty shop, had
suffered an estimated loss of $4,000.
The National Paper Tube & Box com
pany suffered an estimated loss of $l5,-
900, James J. and John +. Whalen, own
ers of the building, claim loss of ap-
proximatey $4,000 on the building
alone, besides several thousand dollars
on cement, nails, wire fencing and plas-
ter and other hardware that was stored
in the building. In addition to these big
losses, the Ferguson storehouse to the
east of the building was badly damaged
by fire and s. H. Villas, who conducts the
Gadue flour sitter business, suffered con-
siderable loss.
Thomas Whalens double tenement
house at the corner of Maple and Church
was damaged by several streams OF wa
ter that were continually played on the
north of the house to keep il from ignit-
ing. In this house are the Conrad and
Winterbottom families, and nearly all
their household goods were removed to
the street by soldiers from the post, so
imminent was the danger of the house
going up in flames. As ii was, the house
caught fire once or twice near the roof, |
but the fire was quickly extinguished |
The house on the north of the toy shop, |
at the corner of King and Church streets, |
was also in danger, and a garden hose |
was kept playing upon it for over an
hour.
The roof of John Collins blacksmith
shop across the street caught fire once
from the intense heat, and stream of
water was kept busy here for some time.
It was also necessary TO put a stream of
water on the J. w. johnson homestead
south of Collins, and also on the O'Brien,
Riley, Herberg and McCarty homes, to
he north of the blacksmith shop All
hese places were damaged to some ex-
.ent by the intense heat from the fire,
Is well as from the volume of water that
vas played on them TO keep them from
gniting. A good idea of the intense
leat can be CLEANED from the fact that
lothes hanging on clothes lines crumpled
Up similar to burnt paper and dropped
o the ground in dust, and several tele-
hone poles along the street were on fire.

the case of C. S. Whittier VS.. the Mont
pelier Ice Co. was argued. This case is
the one reported in the Goth Vermont
but was argued upon certain grounds in
which the supreme court was mt at that
time asked for an opinion, namely, rel
ative to the right OF the property by
adverse possession. II was shown by the
defendant that it had been in posses
sion of the river for 80 years, having
cut ice upon it each winter without OPP
position from the plaintiff until the suit
was brought two years ago.
There was but little done in supreme
court Wednesday, one case having been
argued The motion made by S. H. Jack
son of Barre, asking that the case of

Morse Granite company be certified i'm
to the lower court so that the
case might be retired this term of Wash
ington county court was denied and the
order was SO recorded by the clerk of the
court. Il. NJ, Harvey opposed this mo-
tion on the ground that any delay that
has taken place is due to the plaintiff
md not to the defendants, who will try
he case upon different forms the next
.ime The plaintiff received a verdict of |
