IA WOMEN ARRESTED.
They Marched with Banners Past the
White House.

Washington, d. c., June 26.-Fourteen
suffragists were arrested late yesterday
by the police when they marched in
front of the White House, lined up
against the fence and unfurled suffrage
banners. A crowd of hundreds watched
the arrests but there was no disorder.
This was the fourth demonstration of
the day. The other times the women
marched quietly past the White House
and back again without unfurling their
banners and they were not disturbed by
the police
Just after 430, however when en-
ployes began to pour out of the nearby
departments, a squad of women, each
carrying furled banner, started in sin
gle file to march in front of the White
House from east to west. When they
reached the end of the block they turned
and started back still with the banners
furled.
Reaching the middle of the block i'm
mediately in front of the White House
itself, at a signal every banner was
thrown to the breeze and the women
stood silent, as close to the iron pickets
of the fence as possible. The police,
who had been watching them nearby, ar
rested most of them and took them in
automobiles to police headquarters.
The women all we're released on per
sonal bonds after appearing at headquar-
ters, giving their names, ages and oc-
cupation. No time was set for hear
ing ON the formal charge of blocking
traffic. The arrested were:
Misses Mabel Vernon, Nevada; Kath-
leen Morrey, Boston, Maude Jameson,
Norfolk; Lucy Burns, New York; Flor
ence Youmans, Minnesota; Bertha Crone,
San Francisco; Virginia Arnold, North
Carolina; Lavinis Dock, Philadelphia;

ey, Washington, D. c.; Elizabeth Stuy
vesant, CINCINNATI; Mrs. Alexander |
Shields, Texas; Mrs, Annie Arniel, Della |

be sifted by the prosecutor who so far
has been unable to find motive for the
crime.
Mrs. Piper said that her husband oft
en- had to go two or three months at a
time without getting his pay for tending
DR.. Condon's furnace. She also said that
on the day he disappeared he had just
succeeded, after much trouble, in OBJ
tanning two months back pay
At least twenty witnesses have been
obtained who heard shot fired at about
ten o'clock near the Condor home. A
witness has been found who heard, just
before the shot, a man cry out in terror,
Don't kill me-" The witness is an eld-
erly woman, whose name is withheld

SEVERAL MILLIONS
More Than the Red Cross Amount De-
sired.

Washington, d. c., June ga collec
tion of Red Cross war fund subscription
obtained in the weeks campaign, which
closed at midnight, began throughout the
United States to-day, with indications
that the amount would exceed the $loO,.
100000 goal by at least several millions

cities yet unreported,

American Export Board to
Try to Stop Great Ship
ment Now Ready
COUNCIL FORMS
ORGANIZATION
And Plans to Carry Into
Effect the Recent Act
of Congress

Washington, d. c., June 26.-The new
ly created export council, consisting oi
Secretaries Lansing, Houston and Red
field and Herbert c. Hoover, met to-day
to perfect an organization and to carry
into effect the recent act of Congress Civ.
ing the president control over Ameri.
can exports.
Close supervision over all exports to
prevent supplies reaching Germany is
planned, and it is hoped to hurry the
regulations in order to stop shipments
of large quantities OF foodstuffs by neu-
trails with view to evading the ex-
pected embargo.
President Wilson's statement of the
export control policy, contains the fol-
lowing explanation:
ut is important that the whole coun.
try should understand just what is in
tended in the control OF exports which
is about to be undertaken, and since
the power is vested in Congress in the
president, | can speak with authority
concerning it.
''The exports council will be merely
advisory to the president. There will
Of course, be no prohibition of exports.
The normal course OF trade will be in
terfered with as little as possible and
so far as possible, only its abnormal
course directed. The whole object will
be to direct exports in such way that
they will go first and by preference
where they are most needed and most
Immediately needed and temporarily
withhold them, If necessary, where they
can best be spared.
"Our primary duty in the matter of
foodstuffs and like necessaries is to see
to it that the peoples associated with
us in the war get as generous a proper
tion as possible of our surplus; but it
will also be our wish and purpose to
supply the neutral nations as nearly in
proportion TO their need as the amount
to be divided permits.
"The government is taking, or has
taken, steps to ascertain for example,
just what the available present supply
of wheat and corn is remaining from
the crops of last year; TO learn from
each of the countries exporting those
foodstuffs from the United States what
their purchases in this country now are,
and where they are stored; and what
their needs are in order that we may
adjust so far as possible to our own
needs and free stocks; and this informa-
tion is in course Of being rapidly sup
piled.
"The case of wheat and corn will serve /
rs an illustration of all the rest OF sup |
plies of all kinds"

A WAR ROMANCE.

Universalist church. of Sergeant Ernest
y. Carr OF Brattleboro to Miss Ruth d.
Hunt. daughter OF the late James l. and
Mrs. Fannie H. Hunt Of this place.
The marriage was fastened by pros
pect OF early departure Of Sergeant Cars

co. c. NEEDS 40 MEN.
Lieut.. Shaw and Detail Are Coming
After Them.

There are 1870 members of G company
enlisted to-day, according TO message
received by the Board of Trade recruit.
ing committee this morning from the
officers at Fort Ethan Allen. Translated
into recruiting terms, this figure means
that 20 men must be enlisted between
now and Saturday night if the com.
pany is to have the honor of going into
the fray with full roster of volunteers
Provost Marshal General Crowder has
decreed that June 80 is the last day
when enlistment in any state will count
toward that states quota of men to be
selected for war army. Already the
response of the young manhood in
Washington and Orange counties has ex-
ceeded the estimate and expectations of
the company and Board of Trade com
mittees, but there remains an opportuni-
ty to bring the roster up to war
strength and to that end efforts during
the remainder of the week will be re-
doubled.
Lieut.. H. p Shaw and detail of men
viii return to the city to conduct the
wind-up campaign and large number
of young men in this vicinity who are
contemplating enlistment will be inter-
viewed by officer and privates. The ad-
vantages of enlisting in company have
been described from time to time and
the mere fact that the state adds $40
every month to the pay of each National
Guardsman is not regarded as the most
shining inducement by any means. To-
day there was a well-founded rumor that
one of the city's prominent business
men, a young man of considerable re-
sponsibilities, had enlisted in company
after considering other units with which
to affiliate.
In the message received from the mil
itary post this morning the officers
joined with the men in paying high
tribute to the members of the Barre Pipe
and Drum band, which swung into the
reservation while on its way home from
Burlington last night. The inspiration
Of their presence evidently impressed the
soldiers profoundly and they were loud
in their praise of Barre's "kiltie" band.

EXTEND CONTROL
OF GOVERNMENT
TO OTHER PRODUCTS
Exemption of Farmers, Gardeners and

Bill Will Pass.

Washington, D. c.. June 26.-The ex-
tension OF government control to iron
and steel and their products, petroleum
and its products, farm implements and
sisal, jute and hemp products, such as
binding twine, was decided upon to-day
as an amendment to the administration
food control bill by the Senate agricul-
ture subcommittee, in addition to the
other articles under consideration.
Other amendments agreed to by the
subcommittee, which will remove much
opposition to the legislation, provide that
the bill shall not apply to farmers, gar
deners and stock raisers of products
raised upon their own land, and shall not
give the food administration power to
impose individuals rations or regulate
their meals. The committee deferred ac-
tion on the prohibition sections.
