erly House

the Place

Daisy Mitchell Champagne. for the
past several years Of the back woods
of Arlington. appeared in the Putnam
city court, Thursday morning and
pleaded guilty to keeping a disorder
ly house. 1t has been some years
since Daisy was in court on similar
charge, and at that time she was al
lowed to go with the understanding
that she leave town, She did this and
has since been in Abingdon, where
she kept boarders from saw mills. She
has also since been married to a man
named Champagne. Her husband
was sent to Camp Devens some weeks
ago with the drafted men, and since
then Daisy has been living in Putnam.
According to Captain Ryan, com
plants began to come in of the kind
of a house Daisy was keeping, and he
gave orders for his night men to keep
an eye on the place They saw men
going in and out of the house Dur
inf the recent mission Daisy attended
faithfully, and seemed to have decid-
ed to live differently Saturday night
two men arrived at the house with
dress suit cases, and Sergeant Cordier
went to the place and ordered them
out, telling them that if they returned
the place would be raided
Wednesday morning Captain Ryan
got word that one of the men had re-
turned He went to the place and
found Daisy smoking a cigaret and
half empty half pint whiskey bottle on
the table Ladoux was standing
nearby not wholly dressed He ar
rested the pair and locked them up
The woman pleaded to be put on
probation on account of her ten year
old child She said she was a good
mother and that the child went to
church regularly every Sunday and
had plenty to eat and to wear. She
said she lived in Abingdon with her
husband until he went to Aver and
that since then she had lived alone in
Putnam
When Judge Geissler asked the pro-
secuter if he had any suggestions, At
torney Johnson said: II don't know
how you can straighten out this tan
gled web and do justice and mercy
and at the same time protect society"
Frank Ledoux was then brought in
and pleaded guilty to being drunk and
frequenting the house kept by the
woman. He said he was arrested once
before in Putnam about three years
ago and sent to jail for 30 days.
Judge Geissler said he did not
know as the defendants realized how
serious the charge was, as it tended to
lower the morals Of the community,
and that such matters had got to stop
He imposed sentence of 30 days in
jail and costs of $l1 40 on the wo-
man and fine and costs amounting to
$500 on the man.

PLANS ALL AWRY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Plans for an adjournment of congress until after election appeared tonight to have been blocked by partisan conflict in the sen ate.
 Less than a quorum of the senate is in Washington tonight and republi- can leaders said they would exercise their power to prevent the proposed recess in order that the senate may discuss any developments in the peace negotiations.
 Democratic leaders were understood to be prepared to forestall another outbreak of partisan debate by mak- ing a point of no quorum. It was conceded by republican members that the democratic plans could be car ried out, thus forcing an adjournment of the senate from day to day.
 Introduction of resolutions bearing on proposals of the central powers is expected tomorrow, but in view of the power possessed by either party to force an adjournment no discussion of the resolutions is expected.
 Because of the situation in the sen ate 1t was considered doubtful wheth- CT house leaders would attempt pass age tomorrow of an election recess resolution, causing a continuation of the existing three day recess sched- ule.
