CONSIDER MURDER OF
HEMlNINCWAY GIRL
Special Grand Jury Met at St. Adams
To-day-Dr Stone Says Death
Due to Strangulation.

st. Adams, Aug. 2s.-A special gran,
Ijury of the Franklin county court me
at the court house in this city this morn
ing at O'Clock to listen to the evi
dence which the state wishes to intro
duce in connection with the death O
Jennie Hemingway, the l4-year-old CIR
whose body was found two weeks agC
to-day in cornfield just across the lin,
in st. Adams town.
The foreman is Fred w. Bliss OF
Georgia Probably so witnesses have
been summoned and over dozen are
soldiers, for tomorrow morning, Prob.
ably the jury will not begin the final
day afternoon or Thursday morning.
This grand jury is the first in this
county TO be selected under the new
law passed by the 1917 legislature where
by the assistant judges and county clerk,
acting as jury commission, designate a
and city as grand and petit jurors and
from this number select those who will
serve. Assistant Judge f. w. Foster
and G. A. Gardyne and County Clerk
George C. Stevens are credited with
scoring an excellent panel in their first
attempt.
No charge has been entered against
any person or persons by the state, but
Private Robert Warm of Pottstown,
Penn, soldier in the supply troop of
the 18th United States cavalry at Fort
Ethan Allen, is held under bail of S.
900 as a material witness. Whether
Warm will appear before the grand jury
no one can say. In all probability the
state will introduce large number of
witnesses, some of them soldiers from
Fort Ethan Allen.
Warm several days ago signified de-
sire to be represented by the firm of
G. G. Austin & Sons and it is practically
a foregone conclusion that they will be
designated by Judge Stanton to defend
the man if an indictment should be re.
turned against him.
States Attorney W r. McFeeters has
received report from DIR. B. Fl. Stone of
the state laboratory of hygiene, who, as

COAL OPERATORS
PRESENT FIGURES
Claim That in Some Instances Cost Of
Production Is Greater Than Gov
ernment Allows as Selling
Price.

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Coal operators
from many parts of the country came
to Washington yesterday to take up with
government officials the prices just fixed
for their product. Alabama operators
brought with them schedules purportine
to show that in some instances their coal
costs them more to produce than the gov
ernment has allowed as a selling price.
Cost figures prepared by the operators
will be presented to the federal trade
commission, on whose cost of production
statistics President Wilson based his
prices for coal
Officials admit that the prices set will
drive many operators out of business, but
say that while individuals will suffer the
public generally will benefit.
Both bunker and export coal, il was
stated yesterday, are to be included in
the new scale of prices. Bona fide con.
tracts for this coal, however, as for do.
nestle coal, will not be disturbed.

The ambassadors statement follows:
"Tbe imperial japanese mission came

Will All Come from Orange,
Windsor and Washing
ton Counties
THE FIRST DRAFT MEN
TO GO TO AVER CAMP
Will Take i Ten Men from
This .eunty Certified
: Yesterday

Adult q General Lee S. Tillotson an.
nounc' 5 .st night at Montpelier that
the !; en-, five per cent. OF the l,o4o
men, Vefmont's quota in the draft, which
will be called on Sept. 5, will be taken
from Windsor, Orange and Washington
counties. The pro rata from these coun-
ties will provide for 80 men from Wind
sor county, II from Orange, and 10 from
Washington.
The men from Windsor county will go
in three parties, 10 each, on Sept. S, s
and l. The IL men from Orange county
will go on Sept. S, and the 10 from
Washington on Sept. 0.
The reason for selecting these men
from three counties instead of the IA in
the state, is due to the fact that the
district board has been unable to certify
to Adjt.-Gen. Tillotson enough men from
every county so that five per cent. could
be taken. Therefore, these three coun-
ties, which up TO noon yesterday were
the only three that had been certified to
him, were selected as the ones from
which the first consignment would be
called.
The reason for the inability of the
district board to certify names from
other counties to the adjutant general is
because the local boards have not certi-
fed to the district board fast enough
so that the latter board could handle the
certifcations from each county.
