$500 APPROPRIATION
FOR LIBRARY VOTED
Barre City Meeting Voted Unanimously
to Lend Assistance to the Aldrich
Trustees in Maintaining the
Standard of Library.

Barre of the present, and generation
to come, will enjoy the splendid gift -
the late Leonard f. Aldrich--the Aldt
public library--if the spirit which pre-
vailed at the special city meeting held in
the opera house last evening is kept
alive. The meeting was called "to see if
the city will vote to give further support
to the Aldrich public library, and, if so,
how much?" There was only a small
gathering, some 2S voters, with one
woman, when the meeting was called to
order by City Clerk Mackay.
q. Herbert Pape was made chairman
Of the meeting and after the customary
reading Of the warning Henry II. Jack
son, speaking for the trustees, presented
a general resume of the cost in running
both the library and the building at the
corner opposite. His statement of fig.
ures covered period of the past four
years and with conservative estimate
for the coming year, to take care of both
general expenses and repairs that were
considered absolutely essential TO the
up-keep of the library, the trustees were
agreed that an appropriation of $500
from the city was needed. In years past
the city has contributed to its mainte-
nance to the extent of $500 or all that
had been asked The year just ended
showed a deficit Of 81 900 and it will be
the purpose of the library trustees to
divert any part of the 81 800 which re-
mains unused towards paying the in
debtedness already incurred,
Alderman j. A, Healy made a motion
that the city pay the sum of 81 500 to
the support of the library and the mo
tion was quickly seconded by several.
On the question, the viva voce was unan-
imous and the motion of adjournment
Immediately followed The meeting was
short as well as poorly attended, lasting
less than Is minutes.

CAR STRIKES
VEHICLE AND
CLAIMS LIFE.
Albert Brandemeyer,
Driver of Milk Wagon,
Victim of Accident.

Albert Brandemeyer, 29 years
old, 1903 Thirty-second street, was
killed instantly about Z o'clock
this morning when a south bound
Rock Island Southern interurban
struck a milk wagon which he was
driving.
The accident happened near the
canal bridge leading to Big island.
as Brandebeyer was returning to
the island with a load of milk that
he had collected from the farmers
in the vicinity.
The car struck the wagon a di-
rect blow. smashing the vehicle
into splinters. but the team of
horses was. not injured. 1t is
thought by neighbors that Brande-
meyer approached the crossing
without hearing the car approach,
as he was in a covered wagon, and
the trains at this place are on a
down grade and usually coast,
making very little noise. They
travel at a high rate of speed. This
point on the Southern has no sig
nal bell but has long been known
as a dangerous crossing.
Brandemeyer had been running
a dairy on the island for the last
six months, and living with his
brother, Jacob Brandemeyer, who
is farming at the same place.
Inquest Is Held
Coroner John Maberry removed
the body to Milan, and then to this
city for the inquest, which was
held at o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Brandemeyer was a native
of Rock Island and was very well
known here, coming from a large
family. He is the first of the fam
lily to pass away. Besides his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Victor V.
Brandmeyer, are five brothers, Ed
win l., Victor V, Jacob ~, Law
renee and Leonard, and one sister,
Mrs. Clara Lind. all OF Rock Island.
The deceased was unmarried.

final ACTION
ON TREATY. is
NOW IN SIGHT
Next Two Weeks Expect
ed to See Actual Vote
on League and Pact.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus).

Washington, D. c., Oct 6.-De-
feat of the Fall amendments to
the peace treaty may or may not
mean defeat for those reserva-
tions which are the equivalent Of
changes in the text of the pact it
self. The decisive vote against
amending directly the language Of
the treaty or League of Nations
signifies an unwillingness on the
part of the senate to take the re-
sponsibility for a reopening of the
whole document Britain has rati-
fed the treaty without amendment
or reservation. France clamored
for more proof of the disarmament
of Germany, but finally Premier
Clemenceau won his point-which
negotiations will be undertaken to
meet the viewpoint of the opposi-
tion deputies in the French par
lament Thus far no congress or
parliamentary body has shown an
inclination TO take responsibility
for a reopening Of the peace nego-
tiations.
But with amendments defeated, a
large number of Republican sena-
tors and one or two Democrats
would like to see reservations made
which would qualify Americas ac-
ceptance. President Wilson has
said that some of the proposed res
ervations are nothing more than
amendments and that If the United
States is to adopt them, she had
better say at the outset that she
does not care to ratify the treaty.
On the other hand. with a few ex-
ceptions, the majority OF the reser-
vations suggested would not limit
obligations or promises
but would make clear their exact
nature. The president, himself. de-
ciared in one of his recent speeches
that while he saw no ambiguity in
the language Of the treaty, he had
no objections to interpretations or
reservations that explained the
provisions OF the treaty. Mr.. Will
son thought interpretations unnec-
essary. but the men on capitol hill
would feel safer If they could spec
ify exactly how America under
stands certain clauses to apply.

Elaine, Ark, Oct. 6.-Discovery
of what is believed to have been a
widespread plot on the part Of or

The existence of the supposed
conspiracy was brought to light by
the committee of seven appointed
by civil and military authorities
following the race disorders here
last week.
According to committee members
the negro captives on being ques-
toned readily revealed the inner
workings of the plan. Today, Oct.
>6, the negroes declared. was the
date set for the uprising. Women
are said to have been members of
the organization, which, the au-
thorities say, was known as the
Progressive Farmers and House

According to these authorities,
the plot included a widespread up
rising in the event certain demands
were not met With Oct set as
the day for the uprising, negro
prisoners are said TO have confess

ton at specified places was to pick
