FIGHTS TO KEEP DOG.
Rutland Man Charged With Harboring
Unlicensed Canine.

Rutland, July 22.-The climax in the
long fight of the police officials of Rut
land to deprive Charles Turner of his
collie dog Bruce came yesterday when
Mr. Turner was arraigned in city court
on charge Of harboring an unlicensed
dog. The whole afternoon was occupied,
with the taking of testimony, and it is
probable that the case viii not go to the
Jury before this afternoon.
The II jurors hearing the case are
drawn from several towns in the county.
City Clerk IL b. Whittier testified that
Mr.. Turner came to his Office to license
the animal. but that a license was re-
fused as the board of aldermen had
ruled that the animal should not be IL,
censed. Mr. Turner left So, the price of
the license, with the city clerk, although
he did not get license.
Other witnesses told of having seen
the dog chase teams, and Chief of Police
B. S. Hyland, former lieutenant -colo-
mel in the army, stated that on June 90
he went to the Turner home to get the
dog, which was on the porch at the times
but that while he was talking with Mr4
Turner the animal disappeared and has
not been seen since.
Mr.. Turner testified that the dog Is 10
years old and is harmless. City Judges
George NJ. Goddard had considerable diff
ficulty in preventing the respondent from,
making plea on the witness stand for
the life of the animal, which has been
his constant companion for many yearst
Mr.. Turner states that when he was re-
fused a license in Rutland he licensed
Bruce in Clarendon, which adjoins Rut%
land on the south. Mr.. Turner was tha
last witness yesterday.
Mr.. Turner, who is an old man, lives
alone with housekeeper and his dog.
He is never seen on the streets or about
the house without the dog at his heels+
The citizens of Rutland have become
disgusted with the attitude Of the city
officials, claiming that there are many
dogs in the city which are much more
of public nuisance than Bruce and
which have not been molested by ths
city. They further claim that the fact
that Mr. Turner is native Of Germanyt
although he has lived in America since a
young man, has something to do with
what they term his persecution.

Mrs. Jane Trail Dropped
Dead While Berrying Yes
terday Afternoon
BODY WAS FOUND
NEAR RAILROAD
She Had Not Been in Good
Health, Having Had
Heart Trouble

The heat wave ied its first victim
in Barre yester afternoon when Mrs.
Jane Trail, = of James Trail, sue
cumbed WI s at gathering raspberries
beside Il 4lliamstown branch line of
the Ger - Vermont railroad. The wom-
an ~ lone and her body was found
by - little girls who were walking
aloi. the track. The police were noti-
fed, as well as the states attorney,
after which District Health Officer c. III.
Burr of Montpelier came to Barre and
gave permission for the removal % the
woman's body.
The place where Mrs. Trail died was
about quarter of mile from her home
on Windsor terrace, and members of
the family residing in the same house
said that she left home at about 1890
in the afternoon. When she did not re,
turn after time they supposed that
Mrs. Trail had gone to the home of
neighbor for a visit. 1t was shortly after
2 o'clock that the body was discovered
near some berry bushes along the rail-
road track, and it is supposed that death
must have ensued only short time be-
fore that. The heat was intense at that
time of the day and was aecentuated by
the lack of breeze, while the spot where
Mrs. Trail had chosen to 90 berrying was
exposed TO the direct rays of the sun.
Mrs. Trails health had not been good
for some time, as she had complained
af - lyr h,
opinion of the physicians was that death
was caused by heart failure superinduced
by the heat. 1t was not customary OF
late for her to go far from her home be-
cause of this weakness of her heart. Dur
ing the forenoon she visited at the home
of Mrs. Jessie Macdonald, who is a near
neighbor. She took much pleasure in
the society of her friends because she
was living alone, having reserved a part
Of her house and renting the other part
to the Booth family.
Mrs. Trail was a native of Scotland
and was 80 years of age. She came to
Barre 80 years ago and had been a much
respected resident of this city since that
time She was twice married, her first
husband being William Leslie of Barre.
who died, many years ago. Her second
husband, sJames Trail, died some years
ago. She leaves five daughters and one
son, as follows: Mrs. Peter Emslie of
GAINESVILLE, O., Mrs. John Wildgoose of
Barre, Mrs, G. c. Hodgdon of GAINESVILLE,
o., Mrs. Samuel Currier of San Fran
cisco. Alexander Trail of jackson, Mich,
and Mrs. G. L. Lobdell of White River
junction.
Mrs. Trail was charter member of the
Ladies of Clan Gordon OF this city and
was the first vice-sister of the local
lodge.

CLOSED SHOP KEEPS
STRIKE 4-RUNNINC
Both Sides Are Said to Be Firm in Their
Stand for No Compromises in the
Marine Strike at New York.

New York, July 22--The closed shop
demand OF the striking seamen continues
to be the stumbling block in the way of
a settlement Of the deadlock that has
tied up coastwise trade for more than
two weeks at this and other Atlantic
ports.
No prospects of overtures from the
steamship owners was possible, accord
ing to officers of the American Steam
ship association, who reiterated previous
statements that questions of wages and
hours OF work could be adjusted, hut
that the owners would not agree to the
closed shop principle.
The union committees in charge Of the
strike declared to-day that the men were
prepared to remain ont indefinitely.
With both sides firm in their stand Of
no compromise it appeared probable that
the dispute might be referred to the de-
partment of labor's division on media
tion and eonciliation.

FOR INTERPRETATIONS
BUT NOT RESERV ATOMS
Senator McNary of Oregon Urges Senate
Not to Alter Splendid Purposes of the
Covenant or Weaken It So Far
as 1t Affects Our Duties.

Washington, d. G., July 22.-Support-
ing the league of nations in a speech to.
day, Senator McNary, Republican, of Or.
egon, urged it be accepted without such
amendments or reservations as would
"alter the splendid purposes of the GOV.
enant or weaken it so far as it affects
our duties"
The Senate, said the speaker, could
without harm adopt certain "reserya-
tions in the form Of interpretations, but
should not endanger the covenant by
making reservations that would vitally
affect important features Article 10, he
said, must be unimpaired, because it was
the pillar section of the league.
"Of the objections, | take itethat arti-
Gle 10 is the most obnoxious and produc-
tive of the most controversy Mr.. Nc
Nary said. "The statement most gen
orally made is that this article colIides
with our constitution and runs across
the path of our sacred traditions. Re
peatedly the argument has been ad-
vanced that article 10 casts upon this
government an absolute obligation to &C
to war under any conditions, however
bereft of justice This indictment, in
my opinion, is untenable.
"By the force of another article in the
covenant, the council, in arriving at a
decision, will be governed by unanimous

tween this country and an unwise

'Indisputably this provision casts upon
this country an undertaking to 20 to

thorities.
Replying to questions by Chairman
Campbell, Ambassador Fletcher said
withdrawal Of recognition of the Carran-
"a government by the United States
would only increase the turmoil in the
southern republic. He added he did not
know of any revolutionary leader capa-
BILE of establishing u permanent govern
ment.
Ambassador Fletcher said he had not
noticed any special antiAmerican feel
ing in Mexico and explained that the
presence Of more American citizens than
other foreigners probably accounted for
the greater number of outrages affecting
Americans.
The ambassador was summoned before
the committee in connection with a res
olution proposing appointment of joint
congressional committee to investigate
relations between this country and Mex
leo.
Mr. Fletcher repeatedly declined to ex-
press opinions upon conditions in the
southern republic, insisting he furnish
only facts.
"Do you regard the situation in Mexi,
co as improved in the last three years 2?
asked Chairman Campbell

I'm what respect?"
Columbus has not been raided,' the
ambassador answered.
When Chairman Campbell called at.
tention TO the recent murder Of an
American citizen and the matreatment
of his wife in Mexico, the ambassador
said this did not involve relations be.

Pressed further as 20 improvement in
conditions the ambassador said agencies
by which the United States was better
able TO transact business with Mexico

three years.
"Are the murders Of American citizens

man Campbell. The ambassador replied
that he would refer the committee to tht
list Of Americans who had been killed.
"Many of these outrages." Mr.. Fletch.
