He had been in the house but few
minutes when, the woman alleges, he
attempted to assault her, showing a re-
volver at the same time.
The woman was thrown to the floor
and the man attempted to tie her
hands with rope and as the woman
resisted, he finally shot her as she lay
on the floor. The woman got on her
feet and rushed from the house, the

But Clark d. Patch of
Hartland Escaped With
Merely Cuts
ACCIDENT HAPPENED
NEAR HARTFORD
Tonneau and Top of Ma
chine Were Torn Off
by the Impact

White River Junction, Nov. 20
Clark d. Patch of Hartland had mar
row escape from death to-day when
the automobile in which he was driving
was struck by southbound Central
Vermont train at blind crossing Just
south of the Hartford station. The
tonneau and top of the machine
was entirely cut off from the car,
and although the mach ne was ear
ried some distance down the track, Mr..
Patch, who stayed in the vehicle, es-
capped with merely cuts about the face
Undoubtedly Mr.. Patch owes his life
to the fact that the train was slowing
down for the stop at the White River
junction station so that the force of the
collision was not so severe as it might
have been. Mr. Patch, who was driving
an Overland car, did not see the train
until he was on the track, and En-
gineer Newton of the train was not
able to bring his train, which was a
heavy one, to a stop because he, too,
did not see the automobile until he
was right on the crossing.

BAD ROADS BLAMED
For Two Automobile Accidents Just
Reported.

Several accidents were reported this
morning to the secretary of state.
These included Norman c. Murray of
Willamstown, who reported that while
driving an automobile Nov. 10 his car
slid off the road because of the snow at
the side where he had turned out to
avoid another vehicle.
Arnold T.. Parker of Cambridge has
reported an accident in which his car
was damaged $500 worth on the 18th of
the month. 1t appears that he was
turning out and that his car went
down bank, turning over twice. He
claimed bad road as the cause of the
accident.
The secretary of state has received a
sample of the new chauffeur's license
that viii be issued next season. 1t will
cost SO. the same that licensed chauf-
feurs have paid this year. One of the
improvements viii be that persons APP
plying for a license for general ear
driving will not be asked for photo
graph, as has been the regulation in
recent wears. The extra dollar will go
to the secretary's office on the expense
account. The getting of photograph
gave great deal of trouble and did
not warrant the expense. The badge
will be half If-moon shaped with the
number across the top year down the
center, and licensed chauffeur" around

COLLEGE STUDENT
ADMITS BURGLARY
Albert A. Houghton, Middlebury Col
lege Senior, Had Previously Picked
Out Suit, Which He Stole After
Breaking Into Mid
dlebury Store.

Middlebury, Nov, 26.-Abert A.
Houghton OF Middebury college was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Chief
of Police George II. ChafTee and OFF
Ger Charles j. Shaw, charged with
breaking and entering the clothing
store OF Clayton NJ. Hanks on Monday
night. He was taken before Judge
Albert w, Dickens in the Addison
county municipal court, where he ad
mitted his guilt and was held in the
sum of $1,000 for his appearance in
court Saturday morning. He furnished
bail.
A search Of Houghton's room at
Painter hall, Middlebury college, di-
vulged $40 suit of clothes alleged to
have been taken from the Hanks store
ON Main street Monday night. The
Hanks store was broken into last June
in about the same manner as upon
Monday night and dress suit taken at
that time is alleged to have been found
and identified in Houghton's room.
At the time Of the June burglary,
suspicion led to Houghton and during
the student parade Monday evening, an
inspection OF Houghton's room revealed
the dress suit.
On Monday afternoon Houghton was
in the Hanks store looking over the
suits, stating that he would buy one,
He looked them over carefully, noting
the size marked on the sleeves, and
when he came TO the one bearing his
size, he took particular attention to
note its position on the rack When
1t was found the store had been en-
tered Monday night, investigation
showed that that particular suit was
missing and suspicion at once pointed
to Houghton.
Entrance was gained to the store by
breaking a light Of glass in the base
ment windows from a dark alleyway in
the rear of the building. II was then
an easy matter to reach the upper
story by flight OF stairs and take the
clothing TO the basement and make an
escape.
The break occurred between II and
II o'clock Monday night Officer Shaw
went through the alleyway at II and
when he returned shortly before II,

CARVED HIS WAY INTO
ELECTRICAL STORE
After Great Deal of Laborious Work,
the Burglar Took Some Inex-
pensive Batteries and Three
Small Flashlights.

just when States Attorney Davis
had concluded he could relish his
Thanksgiving dinner with care free
mind, someone maTred his composure
by breaking into the electrical store OF
Perley NJ, Carr on-Elm street last night
and taking five 35-cent batteries and
three vest pocket flashlights, valued at
Sl.25 each. Sometime in the early
hours Of the morning around 2 o'clock,
the Hills family, who have apartments
over the store, heard noises downstairs
but made no investigation, for they
thought it possible that someone con
nectcd with the store was the disturb
err
When Mr.. Carr opened the store this
morning at o'clock his attention was
attracted to two holes cut in the panels
Of the cellar door leading from the
store to the cellar stairs. Upon fur
ther investigation he found that the
burglar had broken a window in the
cellar door, which leads out into the
alleyway at the rear of Ladd's store
This had been broken so that the Yale
lock might be turned On the hfnch
lay large fsshlight, one which had
Just been repaired by workman for

ing about the place and proceeded up
the cellar stairs to the store.
The door leading to the store was
found locked, The tlashlight which the
perpetrator had was long and round
aud this he placed in a position on a
shelf at the head of the stairs SO that
it might throw light upon his work Of

two and one-half inches high, which
would enable him to turn the key on

position of the bolt fell just seven
inches below it but after cutting an
other ragged hole, five and a quarter
inches high and two and half inches
wide, he could reach the bolt to un-
fasten IT, Both these holes were APP
parently cut with jack knife, as the
shavings and the panels of the door
bore every proof TO show that.
A workbag of the bookkeeper had
been looked into and various other ar
ticles in the store looked over, but
since there was no money in the cash

were securely locked, nothing of value
which could easily be carried away was

"A FORUM OF
B0LSHEVISM"
Might Have Been Estab-
lished Right on Ellis
Island
UNDER PRIVILEGES
GRANTED PRISONERS
Acting Commissioner Uhl
Admitted During Inves-
tigation To-day

New York, Nov. 26-Byron H. Uhl,
acting commissioner of immigration at
Ellis Island. admitted to-day to the
House immigration committee investi-
eating conditions there, that privileges
had been granted during the regime Of
former Commissioner Frederic c. Howe,
which, if unchecked, might have led to
establishment of "a forum of bolshe-
vism" on the island
Uhl, appearing before the committee
when it resumed its hearing this morn
ing, made this admission after Chair
man johnson had asked if, under the
administration of his predecessor, the
island was not a gambling house, baw
dyhouse and form of bolshevism."
In reply to further questions, Uhl
also admitted that previous to the res
ignation of Mr. Howe last September,
immoral women had been allowed to
circulate among other prisoners and
that women had been permitted to
roam about the island. He further ad-
mitted that one Chinese crew had in
dulged in gambling TO such an extent
that a seaman had lost $1,000.
Following the arrival from Seattle
of trainload of Reds, he said, anarch-
istic papers and literature had been
circulated on the island.
Seventy three radicals, avowedly anx-
ious to go to soviet Russia, but on
strike against attending deportation
proceedings before immigration inspee-
tors, again scorned call to breakfast
this morning. This was the fourth meal
they had missed since starting hunger
strike and "silence" strike in an effort
to see visiting relatives without an iron
barrier between them.
Only two Reds have deserted the
ranks OF the hunger strikers. The 9th
ers are bearing up so well that the au
suspect food has been cached
in the detention pen to sustain ain
mates of room 203' during the lean
days.
Byron H, Uhl, acting commissioner
of immigration, announced to-day that
he found a way to break the "silence"
strike On advice Of Federal District
Attorney Caffey he posted in the pen a
proclamation" announcing the names
of those whose deportation hearings
would be held to-day He said Mr.
Caffey had advised him this would
cover the law and that If the radicals
did not care TO appear the proceedings
could be conducted without their pres
ence,
1t was announced that certain letters
exchanged between Frederic G. Howe,
commissioner Of immigration, and
Emma Goldman, found when Mr.
Howe's files were seized by the con
gressional committee, will be intro.
duced as evidence at the hearing.

SEEKS NEW TRIAL.
Widow of Ex-Gov. Prouty Files Motion
in Grand Trunk Case.

Burlington, Nov 26--Arguments on
a motion for a new trial in the $780,
900 suit Of Mrs. Henrietta Prouty, wild
ow of Ex-Gov. Prouty, against the
Grand Trunk railroad, were heard yes
terday afternoon before Judge Harland
B. Howe, in the L. s. court. The argu-
ments were based on the grounds of
newly discovered evidence which most
ly centered around the discovery of the
fact that the signal system was not
in working order on the day that Ex-
Gov Prouty and his chauffeur were
struck by a Grand Trunk train and
the former killed.
AT the first trial, Mrs. Prouty was
not granted any damages. AT the heir
ing yesterday her attorneys said that
no evidence could then be introduced
to show that the signal system was
out Of order. They now claim they
are able to produce +. w. Whitingham,
who was in charge of the signals at the
crossing and who has said that the
system was not working well.

MUCH STOCK BURNED.
In $4,000 Farm Fire Near Rutland on
Tuesday.

Rutland, Nov. 26.-One of the larg-
est and best equipped dairy barns in
this part of the state was destroyed by
fire yesterday, when practically all Of
the buildings, except the house, on the
farm two miles south Of this city,
owned by Col H, Edward Dyer Of
Mill village, were burned with about
Is head Of cattle, farm machinery and
a quantity of hay. The loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000, well covered
by insurance as to buildings, stock and
machinery. The cause of the fire is
unknown. About 10 years ago the
large house on the adjoining farm, also
belonging to Colonel Dyer, was burned.
1t is thought that the fire had been
burning for some time before it was
discovered as the flames were shooting
high into the air when first seen. About
4 o'clock railroad men in this city saw
the reflection. and, thinking that the
fire was located in some structure in
the southern part of the city, rang in
an alarm which called out both motor
trucks. The iremen went nearly to the
scene and then returned as the build
ings were doomed by this time and
there was no water supply for pump
ing purposes.
The ruined buildings include barn
l20 by 40 feet, modern in every re-
spect, stables 100 by As feet, sheds and
two 250-ton silos. A yoke of oxen,
a registered Guersney bull, valued at
several hundred dollars, one or more

These We're in pens where the stables
extended under the big barn. A valu-
able Holstein bull broke out of the en-
closure he was in and was thus saved
from the flames.

in 1910.
