Washington, July 20.-While the
state and navy departments today
awaited further information in regard
to the attack and robbery of boat
load of American sailors from the U.
S. S. Cheyenne in the Temesi river
near Tampico, Mexico, July 6, the Mex

that it would omit no efforts in the

W. Correll, an American citizen, and
the attack on his wife in the Tampi-
co district late last month.
The message from the Mexican gov
ernment, replying to representations
made by the United States immedi-
ately after the attack on the Correll
family was reported, however, did
little to lessen the gravity of the situ-
alton existing since yesterday when
news OF the attack on the American
sailors reached the state department.
Officials made no attempt after the

department, died at the City hospital
at 1.3O this morning from injuries re-
ceived yesterday afternoon when he
was whirled about the machinery OF
the stone-crashing plant located at

to stop the electric motor after a
load of stone had been put through

necessary to remove the pressure OF

TRY To PREVENT
STORING LIQUOR
IN ONE 6 HOME
Radical Prohibitionists Try %
Reach This Feature
WOULD STRIKE FROM BILL
To Eliminate Clause, at Shall Not Be
Unlawful to Possess Liquor in
Ones Own Dwelling"
WOULD STRIKE FROM BILL

Washington, July 2O.-A fight to
strike from the Prohibition Amend
ment bill the clause that "it shall not
be unlawful to possess liquors in ones
dwelling" will be made today in the
House by the prohibition forces.
This was made known yesterday by
members who declared the bill as now
framed permitted wholesale boarding
by persons reported to have put away
enough wines and liquors to last them
the rest of their lives. There was no
statement from Chairman Volstead OF
the Judiciary Committee lin charge
of the dry" fight on the floor, as TO
whether he would accept an amend
ment to this affect The radicals said
frankly they had little hope of chang
ing the bill in this respect without the
consent of the committee Chairman.
The general view, however, was that
the House had gone about as far as
the conservatives thought wise with
drastic provisions. For the last week
many prohibitionists have been urging
the elimination of certain severe res
trictions, without success. Some of
them said that Il the right of home
possession was stricken out it would
simply add to the public clamor
against certain features of the bill by
persons sincerely anxious to see
strict enforcement of ali prohibition
laws, wartime and constitutional.
There were indications that some
members were inclined to kick over
the traces at the attempt to race
through the bill in ten-hour sittings
when it may be week or ten days
yet before the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee ends its hearings. The occas-
ion for such great haste was not ex-
lplained by dry" leaders beyond the
statement that they fanted to get the
bill out Of the way and forget it.
Republican Leader Mondell said the
measure would be taken up and kept
before the House until passed, but
members said they had quit predicting
when vote might be reached.

BARRE WANTS KNITTING MILL
Solicitors Secure $4,000 of Funds
Necessary for Plant

Solicitors have already begun work
on the raising of funds necessary to
secure the location of knitting mill
in Barre. Thus far they have con-
fined their efforts to raising 100000
in blocks of $4,000 each and the re-
suits Of two days work shows the
sum of $4,000 pledged. This means
that at least nine more people must
invest $4,000 each to complete the
first 100000, which sum the commit
tee feels must be raised in this manner
in order to assure the officials of the
company that the full amount can be
raised here. Next week additional
solicitors will be at work and every
body will be given an opportunity to
invest In this proposition.
The par value of the stock will be
500 per share and the rate of interest
will be 2 per cent, tax free. The pre-
sent plant which is now owned and
operated by the company will become
a part of the assets of the new com
pany, which will build a new and
modern plant somewhere in Barre.
The present earnings of the company
are more then sufficient to pay the
interest on the full paid-in capital of
the new company.

WEALTHY PUBLISHER
Is BRUTALLY SLAIN
Daniel kaber of Cleveland Was Drag
qed from Bed and Stabbed "a Times

Cleveland, July 20.-After day of
theorizing without any tangible clew
to aid, half dozen experienced inves-
tigators agreed tonight that two per-
sons familiar with the house partici-
pated in the murder of Daniel Kaber,
wealthy Cleveland publisher. No ar
rests have been made.
Mr.. Kebcr, paralyzed with neuritis,
was dragged from bed Friday mid
night and stabbed ID times with a dag
ger made from a file, and choked. He
died yesterday at hospital
Before he could cry for help his as
sidlants escaped When the alarm was
given a bloodstained glove was found
near the mans bed The companion
glove, new and slightly soiled, was
picked up on a stairway.
The theory is that while one person
grasped the invalids throat, another
stabbed him. Imprints of naked fin
gers were still quiet dis inct on the
throat today when second autopsy
was made The contents of the stom-
ach and organs are to be submitted to
a chemical analysis.
Suicide rumors were dispeiled today
when it was agreed that some of the
stabs could not have been self-inflict-
ed. Mr.. Kaber's right arm was paraly-
zed and he had the use of only two
fingers on his left hand

day. Coroner Byrnes announced to-
night that he would open an inquest

scented the imputation upon his patrio

make thorough investigation on his

called to Washington and went to
the department and asked to see the
card that listed Vermont citizen as
spy The card was produced. AT
ter the governor had read it he ask
ed for piece of paper. fe took the
paper and wrote on it these words,
"This is all a damned lie Horace
f. Graham, Governor of the State of
Vermont This was attached to the
card and Mr., Metzger vindicated.
Mr.. Metzger is native of Glovers
vile, N. Y, receiving his higher edu-
cation at Union college and the Chris
tion Biblical institute. In 1902 he
came here to accept the call to the
Christian church and later. when
that was joined with the Bethany
Congregational church. he remained
as pastor He has been very active
in the progressive party and was rep
resentative from this town in the
1917 Legislature.
During the war he was active in
every patriotic drive, and though
above the draft age enlisted in the
service and was at the officers train
ing school at Camp Zachary Taylor
in Kentucky when the armistice was
signed.
