AMUSEMENT NOTES
Somewhere in the Atlantic" with Uncle
Sans New Army.

Anyone who has attended Lyman II.
Howe's Travel Festival on the previous
visits here has instantly recognized that
there is something distinctive about 1t
that eludes analysis. Mr.. Howe promises
that his new production which will be
presented at the opera house tonight
is even more distinctive than any of ITS
predecessors. The spectators may not be
able to explain why "Howe's pictures"
are so different from all others, but he
knows emphatically that they are. The
public everywhere is so familiar with
these exclusive merits that each return
engagement is hailed with delight. The
dominant film of the new production Ia
dates true Americanism. 1t escorts spec
tators aboard our mighty naval units
Somewhere in the Atlantic" and proves
how we'll prepared and alert they are for
every possible contingency. 1t reveals
the very latest devices in operation for
offensive and defensive battle. Among
them are the manipulation of the new
aerplane guns and the kites employed
as targets for the firing squad to per-
feet their craftsmanship in preparation
of warm reception for any Zeps or enc
my aeroplanes. Very weird and start
ling scenes are also furnished by the
broadsides from the big guns fired at
night, and the searchlights signallingl
These portions of the series are no
table for being the only perfect photo
graphic film production of their kind in
sxistence.--adv.

several exceptions, one being that the
Judge erred in charging the jury that
the plaintiff, if the defendant was found
liable, was entitled not only to damages
sustained up to that time, but also to
damages which he might suffer in the
future by reason of the accident. The
exception was based on the fact that
the record of the evidence did not show
any testimony supporting any reference
to future damage. The supreme court
sustained that exception and remanded
the case on the question of damages only,
holding that the liability of the defend
ant was established.
After the jury was impaneled Mr.
Ryder was examined. He said he was
strong until the accident, but that since
July of that year his attempts to work
had been unsuccessful, that he was af-
flicted with dizziness, pains in his head,
neck and back, could not sleep well and
had frequent hemorrhages at the nose.

VAN oRMAN HEAVILY FINED
For Evading Hotel Bill at Putney-He
Leaves Long Trail OF Debts.

Brattleboro, Sept. 2O.-After lengthy
hearing before Judge A. Il. Cudworth in
the municipal court yesterday Elmer
Van Orman, o., who was arrested Tues
day morning, accompanied by two boys,
on charge of evading board bill at
the Kendrick hotel in Putney, was or
dered TO pay a fine of $40 and costs OF
$50 or TO serve three times as many
days as the fines and costs amount to, in
the house of correction at Rutland. Van
0rman was allowed "a hours in which
to raise the money and expressed the be-
lief that he could do so, adding that a
few years ago il would have been easy
! for him To get $1,000 in that period OF
time.
Ii was rather disconnected story
which Van 0rman recited to the court,
and in several instances when questioned
his memory failed him completely. He
claimed TO be native of Montpelier and
for Is years after wing there said that
he followed his trade as a shoe worker in
Randolph. Eleven years ago he was
married, but his wife died few years
later, leaving two boys. They have been
cared for at different times, he said, by
brother who has since died, and by
friends. An effort was made to deter
mine where the wanderer made his per-
manent home, but this was impossible,
as he has jumped about so frequently
and in so many different directions.
He admitted that since the death of his
wife he had not paid poll tax any
where, and when asked where he voted
last he replied that the last time he ever
voted was for Grover Cleveland
w. II. Jeffrey, secretary Of the state
board of charities and probation, was
present in the interest of the two 'kid-
dies" who were with Van 0rmsn when
arrested.
Mr.. Jeffrey questioned the prisoner
quite sharply, but could get no satisfac-
tory answers. He expressed the opinion
to the court that Van Orman's name was
very familiar and he believed there was
a long record against him, which he will
look up later.
An amusing incident arose toward the
close of the hearing when Van Orman
asked the court to be lenient and give |
him an opportunity to raise money for
his bill at Putney.
"The trouble is" suggested the states |
attorney, that the man you want to get I
it from is back in Rutland. He liked |
the place so well he couldn't keep away" !
Van orman laughed heartily at this I
and made several queries. He was told
that perhaps he would have an oppor.
tunity to keep him company while.
John, aged 10, and Kendrick. aged Q,
the two Van 0rman boys who were with
their father when he was arrested and
who have been cared for at the town
farm, were declared by the court to be
neglected and dependent children and
ordered turned over to the state board
Of charities and probation. Secretary I
Jeffrey viii endeavor to find suitable
nome for them
