ing, Some guesses at the Court House
on Wednesday were that the trial will
be likely to take nearly the whole

will be jury trial in any of the civil
cases this term.
Judge Harrie B, Chase of Brattle-
boro, the new and unusually young

peared to have made favorable inn

Sheriffs Have A Fight

In continuance of what appears to be
a countrywide drive to round up al
legged adulterers, another arrest was
made Wednesday afternoon. On a
bench warrant, Deputy Sheriffs n. J.
Sanford and Edward Higgins drove to
Bridport Wednesday to arrest Perry
Wilkinson, son of Leman Wilkinson,
and a free-for-all fight developed before
the sheriffs got away with their man.
The son endeavored to break away
from the officers, and the father with
a club endeavored to help in the es-
cape, it is charged. He too, was over
come by the officers, however, and
brought to municipal court where he
was held in $500 on the charge of inter-
fering with officers of the law. Perry
Wilkinson was lodged in county jail
to await a hearing in county court.
1t is charged that in 1910 he married
woman named Wright, by whom he
had a child; that he married again a
few years later, and that after this
second wife died, he married again
one Roslie Montville of Westport, n.
Y, without having secured a divorce
from his first wife. 1t is said the de-
fense will be that this first wife had
herself been twice married without
divorce proceedings, which would make
Wilkinson's marriage void

CALL FOR LOCAL
POST OF LEGION
R. D. Harris Initiates Or
ganization of Veterans
Meeting of Discharged Soldiers Next
Tuesday in Grange Hall, at 8 P. M.

At national caucus, May 10, 1919
at st. Louis, a constitution of the
American Legion was drawn up. The
membership in this Legion will be
made up of all persons who were in the
military or naval service of the United
States from April 6, 1917 to November
III, 1918, and all persons who served
with the Allies, provided they were
citizens of the United States at the
time of their enlistment and are again
citizens of the U. S. Exceptions to
this are those who hold dishonorable
discharge and those who refused to
perform their military duty on the
ground of conscientious objection.
This organization is built on the fol-
lowing principles as stated in the Pre-
amble of their Constitution "For God
and Country we associate ourselves to-
gether for the following purposes:
"To uphold and defend the Constitu-
tion of the United States of America;
to maintain law and order to foster
and perpetuate one hundred per cent
AmericaniSm; to preserve the memories
and incidents of our association in the
Great War; to inculcate a sense of
individual obligation to the community,
state and nation; to combat the auto
cracy of both the classes and the mass
es to make right the master of might;
to promote peace and good will on
earth; to safeguard and transmit to
posterity the principles of justice, free
dom and democracy; to consecrate and
sanctify our comradeship by our devo-
tion to mutual helpfulness"
The nature Of the Legion is set forth
in Article III. of the constitution:
While requiring that every member of
the organization perform his full duty
as citizen according to his own con-
science and understanding, the organ
Ization shall be absolutely non partisan
and shall not be used for the dissent
nation of partisan principles or for the
of the candidacy of any per-
son seeking public office or preferment"
For these purposes and nature we
men of the service want to get a going
n Addison County. Because of this
[ have taken the liberty to call the
men of this locality together, Tuesday
tune 10, 1919, in the Grange Hall at
P. NJ. Any ex-service man outside
his locality who wishes to attend this
Meeting is invited to do so.

SECOND TRUST co.
SEEMS UNLIKELY

Although State Bank Commissioner
George B, Carpenter at the, public
bank hearing held at the Addison
House yesterday came to no final con-
clusion as to whether he would permit
charter to be granted for still another
savings bank and trust company in adj
dition to the Addison County Trust
Company, which was organized last
week, he said after three hour meet
ing that he doubted that two companies
ought to be allowed to start business
at the same time in a field which was
comparatively limited. II will not" he
said announce my decision at this
time but l feel that you fellows ought
to get together. He was addressing
both the proponents of the second or
ganization, and few OF the members
of the Addison County Trust Company,
who appeared at the hearing in oppo-
sition.
Every minute of the three hours was
taken up by Commissioner Carpenters
thorough examination of the situation
from every angle. He is a compara-
lively young man who appeared earnest
in his desire to get at the root of the
situation, and he began the hearing by
inviting Ira H. LaFleur, as chief
spokesman for the proposed company
to outline the plan and policies of the
desired bank.
Mr.. LaFleur spoke at some length
arguing that the field was sufficiently
large for two institutions of the COM
bined trust and savings bank type, and
endeavored to show that the petition
ers in the latest proposition desired
especially banking institution en-
tirely independent Of any of the other
banks of the county, particularly the
National Bank of Middlebury.
In his argument he made capital of
the fact that his protector that of
the petitioners,-wa to include the
word Savings bank as we'll as trust
in the title of the institution,
and that this in itself would be draw
ing card for a greater business in the
savings department than the new Addi-
son County Trust Company would get,
owing to its omission of the word
savings in its title He emphasized
the fact that three out of
the eleven directors of the Addison
County Trust Company were directors
Of the National Bank of Middlebury,
and intimated his doubt that such di-
-ectors could act consistently in the
interests of both institutions. Com
missioner Carpenter did not seem to
thoroughly agree with that contention,
and pointed out that there were many
of proper and efficient con-
duct of men serving two bank director
ites.
Mr.. LaFleur however, at other times
Turing the hearing made a repeated
Effort to bring out this point, and to-

FIRST TRUST co.
STARTS BUSINESS

The Addison County Trust Company,
Inc. whose organization was perfected
last week, received Yesterday Bank
Commissioner George B. Carpenters
certification to the fact that all of the
capital stock had been paid in, and it
was announced today that the new
bank had already started business to
the extent of placing its first loan. 1t
is planned to open the doors of the
bank, in the quarters next door to the
Addison House, by July or earlier if
the selection of the treasurer can be
made Immediately. Several candidates
are in mind, and the only delay is
caused by the desire to get the very
best man possible for this position.
