AUTOS COLLIDE, BUT
DAMAGE is SMALL
Dodge Car with Brattleboro Man as
Passenger and Hudson Machine
Meet Near Bennington.

An automobile accident near Benning-
ton caused a report here last evening
that a Brattleboro man was BADLY
smashed up, but the report proved to be
unfounded, although Richard Bowen, one
of the proprietors of the Mosher garage,
was passenger in car which was in
collision with another machine Nobody
was injured and no serious damage was
done.
Mr.. Bowen and Mr.. Alderman tray
cling agent for Dodge Brothers, had been
to Bennington in Mr.. Ackerman's Dodge
car and were on their way home. When
about seven miles this side of Benning-
ton, between''5 and q O'Clock, as they
were rounding curve Hudson car
driven by Collins Graves of Bennington
came in sight but few feet away, and
the two machines struck on narrow
sluiceway, but did not meet squarely.
The hub cap of the Hudson machine
smashed tire on the Dodge and forced
the front axle back, but it was taken to
Remington and repaired so that Mr..
Aekerman was able to drive it to Brat
tleboro last night.

AUTOMATIC HAY
DRYER TRIED OUT
Bellows Falls Men Have a Machine
That Will Make Hay When
It Rains.

BELLOWS FALLS, July 26.-Thirty or
forty interested spectators gathered at the
c. E. Howard farm in Westminster yes
terday afternoon when a demonstration
was given of an automatic hay drying ma
chine, the result of several weeks work
on the part of William NJ. Richardson
and NJ. c. Dodge, both employees of the
Vermont Farm Machine company of this
village.
The machine is galvanized iron port
able affair about 20 feet in length and
about three feet in width The green
grass is fed in by hand, at one end and
is carried by roller chain wire screen
conveyor the length OF the apparatus,
passing over series of oil heaters and
being deposited in rack at the other
end
The machine is operated by gasoline
power and has a temporary arrangement
consisting of nine oil stoves, supplying
the heat. The conveyor travels slowly,
taking about one and a half minutes to
pass from one end of the apparatus to
the other. 1t is estimated that with the
present machine only about two tons of
hay day could be handled
The inventors were more than satisfied
with the result. There is no doubt but
what the hay was thoroughly and evenly
dried and with improvements the machine
may become valuable asset to the farm
er III rainy season The apparatus will
be returned to the Vermont Farm Ma
chine company's shop Monday for fur
ther Improvement.

COMMITTEES WOULD

reared Senate May Object as it Ex-
poets to Occasionally Pass Bill -
Absence of the House Would Cause
Unnecessary Delay.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Maiority
leaders of the house have decided to pro-
pose to the senate leaders to five weeks
recess OF the house beginning next week,
every effort in the meantime being de-
voted to clearing the calendar. The plan
contemplates that hearings on tariff.
railroad and marine matters, war de-
partment investigation and similar COM
mlttee work continue during the recess
There was some indication that SEN
ate leaders might raise objection to the
plan since the senate is expected to en-
act several bills in the intervals of de-
bates on the peace treaty which would
be delayed if the house were in recess.
with the approval of nearly all the
important legislation that house com
mIttees have framed, house leaders de-
clded months rest would be in order
while the senate is wrestling with the
peace treaty. If plans are carried out
and the house recesses a week from to-
day, 1t IS not probable that the prohibi-
| ton enforcement legislation will get final
! approval until in September. as it is not
/ likely that the senate will approve the
| house measure next week
Amendments are certain to be adopted
IN the senate, requiring conference
with the house, with the latter's final
| acton after the recess. This will prob
| ably mean that no definite action can be
taken against 2.75 per cent beer until
short time before the wartime prohi-
bftfon act win be repealed, which is ex-
| Dected abOuf October
| The resolution to authorize the house
| recess will be introduced sometime next
week, and sent to the senate for con.
| firmation. Before the recess is taken
| house leaders hope to push through sew
eral important bills.
The move of the committee investigat
ing war department expenditures to
! force the sale to the public of large
army food supplies will be considered
Monday. The resolution ordering Secre-
tary Baker to put all the food on the
market in the near future is being op-
posed by Democrats, who are insisting
that inlustices are done the war de.
partment in the investigating commit

enemy aliens may be brought up, and
many members insist that the house re-
peal the taxes on ice cream and soda

committee is anxious to repeal these
taxes as soon as possible, but the major,

sideration of the luxury tax repeal until

SOLDIERS MARRY
GERMAN GIRLS
Thought that Signature of Peace Treaty
Ended the Prohibition of Fraterniz-

COBLENZ, Thursday, July 24-Reports
of marriages between American soldiers
and German girls have been received at
headquarters from various parts of the
occupied area during the last few days
but no charges have been fled against
any of the men as it is believed most of
the marriages were due to a misunder
standing regarding the anti-fraternization
regulation.
At headquarters it was said that even
after the United States ratified the treaty,
marriages will be prohibited with German
girls by an army order.

Senators Busy Trying to Frame Reser-

ing the announcement today White

committee asking for all documents used
by the American delegates at the peace
conference.
The Shantung reservations continued
to be discussed today in executive and
senate circles, although both the senate
and the foreign relations committee had
adjourned until Monday and President
Wilson had no Republican senator's on
his appointment list.
There were many conferences to talk
over reservations proposed for inclusion
in the senate ratification of the treaty
Many senator's, especially of the anti
league group of Republicans, have framed
reservations they hoped to see adopted
and an effort to agree on some general
program Of action is subject of much
earnest negotiation.
Although the White House and the
state department remained silent on the
informal conversation under way with
Toxic regarding Shantung an unusual
element of expectancy was added as a
result of the statement of Senator Spen-
Ger of Missouri that President Wilson
yesterday showed himself very hopeful
of an early development to clarity the
situation.

tions committee had an appointment tC

though the Colombian treaty was under
