dent agree.
THE statement was made at the secre-
tary Of states office this morning that
Mr.. Boutwell, told Mr.. Bailey to get his
car repaired or buy new one and he
would settle and that he told the repre-
sentative of the Pierce Arrow company
that he would take the car he was driv-
ing and which the representative was
demonstrating by allowing Mr.. Boutwell,
to drive. The cause OF the accident was
the shifting of the driver from left
hand" to right hand" drive car.

new car of w. H. Trney of Montpelier,
who ran into post near the Capital
garage doing little damage to the front
end of the car; Ned Foss of Morrisville

year, stated that he had to choose be-
tween running into persons walking on

which is the companion report of an ac-
eident report made by George Clough of

his original report to Benjamin Gates,
who, from the records of the secretary's
must have turned the report over to the
secretary and now the official report has
reached the seeretary's office.
Joe Miller of Vergennes will cease to
operate his automobile for the remainder

suspended this morning by the secretary
of state because of reckless driving in
which he ran into team. An aged
woman was thrown out of the team and
injured to the extent that she has since
died
The secretary has to depend largely
upon the newspapers for his reports OF
accidents, for he finds that the courts are
not complying with the statutes relative
to making reports of persons who are
brought before them on complaints of
prosecuting officers.

hastened by fall which she suffered a
few days ago, when she cut cash in her

miles from their home, making the trip
both ways on foot. Mrs nower was the

HAVE MONTHS FUEL.
Italian Railroads Are Not in Satisfac-
tory Condition as to Fuel

Rome, Sunday, Oct 5.-Italian rail
roads have fuel for only one month, and
this is sEmost entirely American, ac-
cording to the Tempo. A piling up of a
greater reserve of American coal is ham
pered by the strike in the harbor of
Genoa, where Is steamers laden with
coal arrived several weeks ago and still
await unloading.
"The government has made contracts
in America for two million tons of coal, .
the newspaper says. America is now
Italy's only hope, as the five thousand
tons of German coal daily promised by
France and Switzerland have not been
delivered because of lack of transporta-
tion. Hitherto only 500 tons has been
received daily. Belgium was to send 50,-
600 tons per month, but has instead
shipped only $4,000, To avoid suspen-
sion of service, oil engines have been
ordered in America and similar machines
are being built in Italy"

WIDESPREAD PLOT
TO KILL WHITES
Negroes in Arkansas are Alleged to Have
Been Organized Into Campaign
for General Slaughter.

Elaine, Ark, Oct. 6.-Discovery of
what is believed to have been a wide
spread plot on the part of organized ne
groes for a general killing of whites in
this locality and possibly in other parts
OF the south, led officials to-day to re-
double efforts TO apprehend leaders OF
the organization. According to the com
mittee appointed by the civil and mill
tary authorities after race disorders here
last week, negro prisoners readily re-
vealed the inner workings of the plan.
To-day, the negroes gdeclared, was the
date set for the uprising. Women were
members Of the organization which was
known, the authorities say, as the Pro-
gressiye Farmers and Household Union
of America.
Tyenty.one white planters in this dis
trict had been marked to be killed first.
Their deaths, it is asserted, were to be
followed by general massacre OF
whites, after which the negroes were to
take over the land and till it.
