mel adequate for one.
Railroading in severe weather calls
for more coal, more locomotives and
more men. In spite of the increased
output at the mines there was a coal
shortage, for industrial plants were
demanding coal and paying the price
as never before. The very sluggish
ness of their own choked systems
made it difficult to get what coal there
was, and, railroad men relate, the
coal they did receive was poor in quail
ity, which meant less steam. Loco
motives were not numerous enough for
the emergency and the munitions max
ers had corner on the labor market.
Thus freight handlers were at prem
ium and switch points froze. In the
picture are shown freight cars tied up
in a great terminal railroad yard.

HORSE AND AUTO CoLLIDED.
Former So Badly Injured That 1t Had to
Be Killed.

Burlington, Aug. "A milk wagon be
longing to w. w. Aldrich of South Bur.
lington and driven by his SON, Kenneth
was run into yesterday at the corner OF
South Union and Buell. streets by an au,
tomobile belonging to J. C. Norton OF
Bristol and driven by his chauffeur. The
horse attached to the wagon was injured
so that it was necessary to shoot him,
but no one was injured in the accident.
According to the story Of the eye wit
nesses the milk team was going up Buell.
street when the automobile going up
South Main street ran into the horse,
breaking one leg and otherwise cutting
him up. Young Aldrich was thrown
from his seat to the dashboard by the
shock but was uninjured. The automo-
bile was stopped at once and the occu-
pants stayed to see what damage had
been done.
As soon as it was ascertained the
horses leg was broken, the police were
notified and the animal was shot.
Mr., Aldrich places a value of 800 on
the horse. The horse had been with him
since it was a colt and knew the milk
route about as well as one of his boys
1t was therefore of especial value to him.
No claim was made that the auto was
going at an excessive rate of speed but it
is claimed by some that the horn was
not sounded. The automobile struck the
horse near the shoulder, breaking one of
the shafts and splitting considerable milk
by the impact.

MUST PROVE CLAIMS.
Vermont Farmers to Whom Money is
Owed on Milk Shipments.

Brattleboro, Aug Am important
hearing before John c. Sherburne OF
Randolph was held in the municipal
court room yesterday in the suit of Sec
rotary of State Guy w. Bailey and State
Treasurer Walter +, Scott, trustees,
against the New England Casualty com
pany of Boston, In suit pending in the
Chittenden county court brought on two
bonds for $4,000 each executed by the
defendant company in favor Of the Bos-
ton Condensed Milk company. The bonds
we're issued to insure the payment of in.
debtedness that the Boston Condensed
Milk company might owe milk producers
in Vermont.
Attorney General FL. @. Barber OF Brat
tleboro appeared for the state officers
and Attorney Fred +. Gleason of Mont
pelier for the defendant. II was de-
cided yesterday that the farmers having
claims against the milk company should
make proof thereof in duplicate in the
form of an affidavit, copies of which have
been made in blank. These blanks must
be filed out, sworn to and returned to
Attorney General Barber before Aug. 10.
II Is stated by Attorney General Bar
Der that he has the names and addresses
of most of the claimants, and blanks and
notices will be sent them at once. Those
who do not receive them promptly should
communicate with him if they want their
claims allowed by the court, He has
about 500 claims, aggregating about $780,
600 He thinks there is due about 49,
900 more. The hearing progressed to the
extent of proving the bonds, which were
received in evidence. 1t was continued
TO Aug. % at . p. m. in Brsttleboro.
On Feb. 81, 1914, the secretary of state
revoked the license of the Boston Con-
densed Milk company because of COM
plants from farmers regarding their pay |
and because he was not satisfied with the |
way the company was doing business.
The Casualty company did not cancel the
bonds, it is understood, and the milk |
concern continued to do business in the |
state. Later the milk company, of which
William A. Graustein was the head, went |
INTO bankruptcy. The business was car
ried on by his wife, Ida NJ. Graustein,
who has since gone into bankruptcy.
This suit was begun in September,
1919, and debts ranging from few dol
airs to over 500, in Windham, Benning-
.on, Windsor, Rutland and Addison coun-
les, are claimed, covering a period from
1918 down TO the date of the suit.
