COAL CRISIS THREATENS.
Vienna in Hard Position Due to Failure
of Czecho- -Slovaks.

Vienna, Friday, Sept. 10 (By the AS
sociated Press The inter allied coal
commission is trying to meet coal
crisis threatening Vienna, due to the
failure Of the Czech Sloyaks to deliver
coal fcf which contracts have been made
during the first ten days of September
Less than one-third the amount agreed
upon for the electric plants of the city
was delivered, and only about one-fourth
the coal necessary for domestic use had
reached here.
The city, unable TO accumulate re-
serve, found itself facing critical sit
uation yesterday. A notice was issued
stating that beginning Sunday, all tram
ways would cease running. all cafes
restaurants. and houses would be closed
at 8 O'Clock in the evening, and street
lighting would be reduced Fear was ex-
pressed that industrial plants would be
forced to close down.
Allied railway and coal authorities
took steps TO ameliorate conditions and
meet with the Prague government, in
sisting upon immediate shipments. 1t is
hoped that it will be possible to keep
limited tramcar service in operation
and extend the closing hour to nine as
well as to keep industries going, This
would prevent the throwing into the
streets of between 10000 and 100000
persons, who are out of work

tween himself and Mr., Belyile relative
to the deciding of a farm in Elmore In
cross examination he admitted that he
sold the farm for about 81 900 after the

testimony that Miller was in possession
of the farm, although the trouble over
the mortgage had occurred.

ter, testified as TO the taking of the
mortgage out of the Office She supposed
it was to be used in making a deed and
was to have been returned for the record.
Benjamin Bailey testified as to his opin-
ion Of the value Of the land.
The case has developed some very in
teresting complications in connection
with the property, SO that w A Dutton

Barre gathering in a Whittier, Cal,
setting, at which the silver wedding of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank McWhorter and the
3lst anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs A. p.
Abbott, all of whom were former Barre
residents, is described in a recent issue
of the Whittier News, as follows:
Last evening the beautiful new A. P.
Abott home on the Workman road was
the scene Of most delightful social
event. which was a combination wedding
celebration and reunion of Vermont
friends The affair was given in honor
of the silver wedding anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank McWhorter. The day
was also the thirty-frst anniversary of
the marriage of the host and hostess.
The occasion began with delightful
dinner, spread on a beautiful appoint
ed table. Covers were laid for Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank McWhorter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Leon Abbott, Miss Marion Abbott, Leigh
MeWhorter, Utley McWhorter, Misses
Doris and Jean McWhorter, and the host
and hostess. The table was dainty dec
grated in white asters.
Following dinner, much to the surprise
of the honor guests, a large number of
their Vermont friends appeared on the
scenes. A most enjoyable informal So
cial evening followed when games and
conversation furnished the best of en-
tertainment. One of the very delightful
features Of the evening was the receipt
by Mr.. and Mrs. McWhorter, Of letter
and gift from number of their friends
residing in Vermont As is the case in
Whittier, they were held in very high
esteem in their eastern home city, and
though they have not resided there for
some time. their friends have not for
gotten them, and were glad of the OPP
portunity of expressing their friendship
for them and offering their best wishes
for many more such happy events. Mr.
and Mrs McWhorter were the recipients
of many beautiful silver gifts. The host
and hostess were not forgotten either,
for. they, too, were we'll remembered
with pretty and useful presents.
The rooms Of the beautiful home were
simply but very effectively decorated in
white asters, golden glow and chrysan-
themums, which harmonized beautifully
with the pastel shades in which the
rooms are finished. Dainty refreshments
of ice cream, cake and punch were
served during the evening.

STILL SHORT OF QUOTA.
Barre and Barre Town Must Hurry on
American Legion Drive.

Although "a hours OF addiSonal cah.
paigning finds eX-service men of Barre
and Barre Town far from realizing their
quota of 300 members in the American
legion, the third day of the drive brought
forth a new claimant for honors in the
race among ward teams Over in the
sixth ward, an active committee has set
the pace for all other teams by receiving
"a per cent of its quota in members. The
ward record was the one redeeming
feature of the third day, but one ward
cannot campaign successfully for the
whole city and town.
1t goes without saying that unless
there is determined effort on the part
of all committees to-day and early next
week, Barre win fail to attain the proud
record which other towns and cities in
Vermont are rapidly establishing in an
ticipation of the state convention to be
held in Burlington next month.
Campaign leaders to-day were thor
oughly alive to the possibility of failure.
They realize that only two factors can
combine to save the situation. In the
first place, the various teams must get
into the harness and make a serious
business of attaining their quotas. On
the next count they must be met half
way by the ex-service men who have not
vet enrolled. The drive is nationwide
and newspaper reports everywhere testi-
fly to the spontaneity with which the
former service men are coming forward
to join, and perpetuate their organization.
The drive ends officially next Wednes-
day, but Barre's quota should not be al
lowed to lag, and the intensive effort of
every canvasser must not be postponed
to the llth hour. In nine times out of
10. the llth hour is too late. Next
Wednesday evening the post will hold a
meeting On that occasion delegates to
the state convention will be elected.
But in the meantime the ex-serviee men,
by the volume of their enrollments in
the next few days, viii determine for
themselves whether Barre will be repre-
sented at Burlington by a small delega-
tion. or by delegation in thorough
keeping with the splendid record made
By the city and town during the war. 1t

achievements in the service are the heri-

KNOWN DEAD
NEAR 400 MARK
But Many Believe 1t Will Double That
Number in Corpus Christi
Hurricane.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Sept. 2o-With
the known dead near the 400 mark and
steadily increasing, residents of Corpus
Christi and other nearby Texas coast
towns to-day resumed their search for
bodies of additional persons who lost
their lives through last Sundays hrri-
cane and tidal wave
The number of known dead to-day
was 1856, but many persons believed it
would be double that number when all
the shore line and wreckage had been
thoroughly searched,
There is romance and pathos, too, in
the passing of some of the storm victims,
as in the case of the death of Captain
and Mrs, B. NJ. Egeland, not far from
the army rest camp site, where Captain
Egeland was in command With two
soldiers, Captain Egeland and his wife
had started to wade through the rapidly
rising waters, Mrs Egeland wearing the
only life belt.

TO MAKE SURE SHE DIED.
Maud Howricon Committed suicide--Her
Brother Contests Will.

Burlington, Sept. 20.--The Howricon
will case will be taken up next Tues
day in Grand Isle county court at spe.
cial session. The viii is that of the late
Maud Howricon, who bequeathed about
$4,000 to the Mary Fletcher hospital of
this city. 1t is contested by her broth
er, John Howricon, of North Hero. At
torneys X. Z. Brown and " A. Bullard
will 90 to North Hero to represent How
ricon and Charles II. Darling viii repre-
sent the hospital interests.
Miss Howrieon, an unmarried woman
living alone in North Here for many
years, committed suicide last July. Be
fore her death she left some notes and
in one Of these stated that she was kill
ing herself to remove all danger of be-
ing buried alive Her attempts at sui
eide were persistent, for on the first at
tempt she tried to cut her throat and
then shoot herself.
The grounds on which the will is to
be contested are probably insanity 1t
is claimed by the Howricon interests
that Miss Howrcon was never treated
at the hospital and that to their knowl-
edge she was never inside the institu-
ton
The will was made long ago, in 1902,
and at that time Miss Howricon was a
successful woman as she not only earned
her own living, but added to the prop
erty which her parents left her.
The contestant of the will, her broth.
er, was twice states attorney Of Grand
Isle county, and is now travelling sales
man.
The Mill was taken into probate court
and by agreement was allowed and an
appeal taken to county court Judge
Frank L. Fish set the date for the trial
which will probably be before him.
