VOTE OF CONGRESS-
BLOW AT kERENSkY

Wiki and anti-Kerensky forces
seized upon a moment in the pro-
ceedings when the majority ele-
ments were absent to hurry thru
q reconsideration Of Tuesdays
vote and then had sufficient
strength to overthrow the previ-
GUS vote sustaining Kerensky.
Four hundred and sixty-one
delegates were absent.
Rejection Of coalition
plan In such fashion may or
may not stand. Kerensky's
supporters have insisted that
unless Kerensky's idea of .
union of all elements In the
government was approved,
utter chaos would follow In
Russia.

PETROGRAD, Oct. 3.-The all

The decision is a blow directly

coalition of all parties in the for

firmly administer the Russian

The official garbage man at
Camp Lewis is major.
He is Maj. Robert Smith, chief
sanitary inspector.
Thru his hands, speaking figura-
lively, of course, daily pass hun
dreds of pounds of garbage, and
it Is up to him and a staff Of
carefully selected inspectors to see
that it is properly disposed of and
that while it Is in the cantonment
1t is not menace to health.
Inspectors Busy.
The general hygiene of the camp
Is In the hands of the company
commanders.
The orders of the chief inspec-
tor are delivered to them and they
In turn direct the non-com mission
ed officers in charge of the va
rious details as to the sanitary
work.
But beyond keeping their own
quarters and barracks clean, the
company commanders and sur
geons have nothing to do with the
sanitation.
That comes within the duty of
the sanitary troops.
His inspectors are on duty at
all times, going quietly from one
barracks to another, calling atten-
ton here and there to things that
should be changed, lacking up a
cook in one barracks and ordering
greater ventilation in another.

CHILD MURDERED.
THREE ARRESTED.
Body Not Found After Days Of
Search. Women Admit Deed.
Reward for Body.

Alice Bradshaw, the eight-year-old
daughter of John NJ. Bradshaw, ,liv-
ing about eight and one-half miles
north Of St Johnsbury town, was
murdered Thursday afternoon, it is
alleged, by Mrs. Alvin Remission,
married woman, neighbor, and Miss
Eta May Hicks, housekeeper for Mr..
Bradshaw.
The child had infantile paralysis
some years ago and was partially
paralyzed The Hicks woman, it is
said, states that she was tired of car
ing for the child, and that the two
women had planned fora week to take
Alice's life. At the same time, it is
said, one claims the other had offered
her $4,000 to do the deed. The two
women are in the county Jail.
1t is said they tell conflicting sto-
ries as to where the murder was COM
mitted, one Of them claiming that it
was just outside the dooryard, where
the child was playing in the sand, the
other that shew was berrying with them
and was killed in the pasture. They
agree as to the manner, saying that
Mrs. Remission held the child by the
throat and cholzed herwhile the Hicks
woman beat her over the back with
club
They claimed at first that they car
ried the body down the road in a wag-
on, and buried it under rock pile, but
the. body was not found there. Later
one of them said it was tied in a sack
and dumped into the Passumpsic riv-
er. The body has not been discovered
yet.
Besides the two women mentioned
above, John Kerwin, said to be the
brother of Mrs. Kenneson, is held in
the case though his connection with it
is not known.
Three times Miss Hicks has told
where the body could be found but
each time search by the authorities
has failed to reveal it and the father
has offered 5000 to anyone who finds
it, and the grandfather has offered
800 additional.

FAIR PLANS UNCERTAIN.
Late Crops, War Conditions and Par
alysis Epidemic Discouraging.
After Secretary C. E. Hamblet a

After Secretary C. E. Hamblet and
President A. S. Drew attended a
meeting of representatives of the
fairs of the state at White River
Junction recently, previously an
nounced plans for the Orleans County
fair on August 21, % and % are un-
certain.
A number of the fairs are not to
hold exhibitions this season owing to
many discouraging conditions rather
than to any one outstanding feature,
and it is doubtful now whether the
Orleans County fair will be held as
usual or not. Late crops make al
most certain small agricultural ex-
hibit as early as this fair is held, war
conditions make ground privilege
rentals very slow and uncertain and
this revenue is very important one
in supporting the fair, and the cpl
demic of paralysis which has begun
in the central part of the state and
the stringent methods liable to be ia
ken by health authorities all tend to
discourage holding a fair with almost
a certainty of financial loss.
1t is hoped, however, that a strictly
agricultural exhibit, minus many of
the extras which have come to be a
part of modern fairs, may be held la
ter in the season when crops mature
and the condition of the paralysis is
known, if the regular fair is finally
cancelled.

Plumley Warns Against Peddlers.
State Tax Commissioner C. A.
Plumley is sending to officers ia the
state, letter in which a note of
warning is sounded against unli-
censed travelling characters of any
kind. In part the letter says:
Il have information from source
which consider absolutely reliable
to the effect that this country is 'plas-
tered with peddlers, canvassers and
hoboes who are only peddling as a
side line, and are in fact in the pay of
the German government.
Il am making it my business to
ask you to see to it that no unidenti-
fed, or unlicensed person is permitted
to peddle from house to house in your
town The time to lock the door is
before the horse is stolen, and we
should make it our business to know
who these people are that are travel
ing across our state ostensibly as
peddlers, canvassers and hoboes.
Il am not an alarmist, but in view
of what / know and believe to be true
am convinced that from the stand
point of our own protection alone this
matter deserves our more than care
ful attention. / bespeak your coop
