HEALY WANTS LENIENCY
FOR OUT-OF.TOWNERS
Arrest of Motorists for Failure to Illumi-
nate Parked Cars Not Best Way
to Gain Good Will

Arresting motorists from outside
towns for failure to illuminate their cars
when parked along North Main street
is not one Of the most approved meth
DDS Of gaining the good will OF your
neighbors, according 10 Alderman Healy.
who turned an otherwise duh session of
the aldermanic board into lively meet
ing last evening. Singularly enough Al
derman Healy was reminded of pre-
yious determination to criticise the 10.
lice by report from the police commit
tee which recommended that the head
quarters of the department be trans
ferred from the basement Of city hall TO
the ground floor. The member from ward
2 waited until the proposed change had
been disposed Of and then opened fire.
He referred specifically to what he
termed wholesale arrests on Saturday
and Monday evenings, when many peo-
pie from outlying towns come to the
city to shop and while shopping park
their cars along the curb. The alderman
said it was almost impossible for visit
ors or for city people to swing into the
main thoroughfare without putting
themselves in jeopardy of prosecution
Mainly his complaint against the vigil
lance of the police centered around the
matter of lights, for he argued that il
the main street is not sufficiently il
Illuminated at night to eliminate even
darkened automobiles from the class OF
trouble. makers, then more street lights
should be provided. Officers in Bur
lington, he declared, are not so petty in
their regulation Of the motor traffic, for
he noticed while on a trip through the
Queen city last week that many cars,
harmlessly riding at anchor near the
curbing, were unlighted.
City Attorney William Wishart was
asked to visit the council chamber while
the discussion was at its height, and in
reply to a question from Mr.. Healy he
said that he was responsible for the
prosecution after the respondents had
been brought into court. As for the off.
GERS, he added, the automobile law per
mits them to arrest violators without
a warrant. The attorney denied that be

man Healy's rejoinder was to the effect
that if the police were as efficient in 9th.
er respects as they are in the matter OF
arresting autoists he would be well sat
isfied Later he added to this statement
by declaring that the auto law in its
relation to lights seemed to be the only
law that isn't being winked at in Barre
There was no comment.
Nothing came of the agitation, oil.
though Alderman Mcmillan, after citing
his colleagues reference to out of town
people who come here to spend their
money, asked why the law should dis
criminate in their favor and against the
folks here at home. Alderman Milne
thought that automobiles should be abol-
ished entirely and he was inclined to ac-
cept Mr.. Healy's view that the autoists
are being prosecuted in petty way.
Alderman Healy took parting ding at
the police, He averred that he hadn't
been able to drive his car down town

MILK CANS VS.. STOVE WOOD.
Mrs. Crawford Is to Wash the Former II
Mr.. Crawford Splits the Latter.

A second hearing in divorce matters
occurred this morning before Judge 2. S.
Stanton in the county clerks Office.
This was in the contested divorce cases
between Persia A. Crawford and Byron
r. Crawford An order was made some
weeks since in the first case in which an
Injunction was served on Mr.. Crawford
and as result of the hearing to-day the
Injunction remains In force. Mr.. Craw-
ford is to pay to F. L. Laird S25 suit
money for Mrs. Crawford There are
several interesting articles in the order
signed by Judge Stanton, which include
that Mr.. Crawford shall furnish two
quarts of milk day, butter and dozen
and half Of eggs week, potatoes and
other vegetables to support Mrs. Craw-
ford, who has custody of the house ex-
cepting the girls room. One of the parts
of the understanding between the parties
is that if Mr. Crawford takes the milk
cans to the house Mrs. Crawford will
wash them and in return Mr. Crawford
is to split sufficient wood for use in the
house and it is understood between the
parties that Mrs. Crawford shall refrain
from going to the barns. In spite of the
seriousness to those most interested in
the cases, there are some amusing Incl
dents in the matter as different features
were brought out, one of which was
shown when Mrs. Crawford wanted to-
be sure she was going to be able to get
her needles and thread, which she claimed
were in the girls room.

Young Men Who Have Reached al Years
of Age Since That Date VIII
Register Aug. a..

Gov. II. f. Graham this morning re-.
ceived from the war department advice
of new registration that win take
place in the states, including Vermont,
Aug. "a. This is to register all young
men who have become of age since June ).
1t is apparent that with the rapid work
which the war department is doing and
with the men needed by the end Of the
month and before legislation can become
effective, it is necessary to register to
keep the work going at the high pitch
Of class one men who are qualified for
service. The form Of registration will be
the same as was used by town clerks in
June. 1t is expected that practically 500
registrations viii occur in Vermont, and
it is estimated that about 200 of these
will be class one men. OF these it is un-
certain how many win qualify for gen
eral military service.

BARRE BOY ON STEAMER
SUNK BY SUBMARINE
Seaman Fred Anderson of the U. S. S.
Merak, Home to Rest Up, Tells of His
Experiences with Submarine.

Bereft Of all his belongings except the
clothes he wore when the ship was at
tackled and sharing with AZ other men
who made up the crew of the U. S. S.
Merak the after effects of the nerve-rack-
ing experience, Seaman Fred Anderson, a
Barre boy, arrived in the city this morn
ing to rest up after his exciting adyen-
ture off Cape Hatteras last week, when
the ship to which he was assigned was
sunk by a U-boat. Seaman Anderson is
passing his furlough with Mrs. Anderson
at % Beacon street, and while he escaped
unseathed, so far as bodily injuries were
concerned, he is not anxious to repeat
the experience until he has had little
rest.
The U. S. S. Merak, steamer taken
over by the shipping board, was round
ing the cape when the Y boat began its
attack. "Thcy had fred several shots
before we were aware OF what was ahead
of us" explained Seaman Anderson to-
day. The crew maintained perfect order
while under fire, and instructions to man
two boats were calmly obeyed. After
the men had divided into two squads, Mr.,
Anderson found himself in boat con-
tanning 20 men, including the captain.
Shortly they espied the submarine, which
continued shelling the steamer. Not long
afterward the U-boat pulled alongside
the small craft in which Seaman Ander-
son escaped and asked a number of ques-
tions. Her commander spoke perfect Eng
lish, according to the sailor, although he
with his men seemed very young. 1t was
noticed that all were of yeilowish cast
due probably to their life below The
captain of the Merak was sounded as
TO locations, etc, and then the submarine
drew off a short distance In the mean.
time the sailors had heard an explosion
and as they glanced toward the Merak
they saw the steamer rent in thousand
pieces.
1t did not occur to the Merak sailors
that the U-boat would attack harmless
lightship, and so they made for the light
ship off Diamond shoals. To their sur
prise, the submarine followed and pres
emily bent itself to the task of destroy
ing the lghtship Five shots sufIiced
Thereafter the men in the small boats
made for the coast, but were picked up
after seven hours by a steamer bound for
Norfolk From Virginia the survivors of
the Merak were sent TO New York by
rail. None of them had had time to
gather up his belongings aboard ship,
and while new assignments and fresh
outfits are being issued the crew will
remain on furlough.
