PUT DOWN REDS"
Guards PatrOIling Gary, Ind,
Streets After Sunday Riots.
Seven Thousand in Battle After
Radical Parade Stopped.

Gary. Ind, May 5.-Strong guards
were patroling the streets here today
TO guard against a revival of the radi-
cal riots OF Sunday.
Sixteen battered radicals were in
Jail awaiting action by municipal and
federal authorities. Many others ar
rested in the battle, in which it was
estimated 1000 radicals and 5000 po-
licemen, state militia, federal, county
and state agents and patriotic citizens
took part, were released on their
promise to get out of town.
The battle was precipitated by the
refusal of the radicals to dispense
and their attempts to hold a parade in
violation of Mayor w. II. Hodges or
ders.
attachments of police began breaking
up groups of radicals meeting in halls
and on street corners. 1t ended three
hours later when, aided by a heavy
rain, police charged the main body of
radicals, arresting many and driving
the rest off the streets.
Russian socialists. it was said, were
the moving spirits in the radical bat
tie. Pictures of Lenine and TrOtzky
were carried by many groups. Morris
counseled against holding a parade.
but was overruled by hot headed lead
ers who later took charge.
Policemen went into the fight wear
ing revolvers in their belts. A COM
pany of state militia charged up and
down the streets sweeping the radi-
Gals out of the way. Many hundreds
of patriotic citizens, most of them
armed. joined the police. The radi-
Gals were split into small detachments
and scattered. Citizens ripped off the
Red insignia.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reIi-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for wcman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with tho
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

S. C. Whittier Of Montpelier has sold
the major portion of his holdings in the
Patch Granite company to the Hughes
Granite company of Clyde, Ohio, which
has taken possession. Mr. Whittier
will manage this end Of the business
for the company and retained portion
OF his interest in the company. Tho
consideration has not been made public
but it goes into the thousands Of dol
lars to a considerable extent The pur-
chasers are an Ohio corporation caps
italized at sl50,000. They will file ar
ticles of registration in the secretary of
states Office shortly in order to do BUSH
ness in Vermont.
The purchase and the addition Of
capital may mean much to Montpelier
and East Montpelier, for the company
plans to increase the output of the
quarry considerably. 1t is already con-
sidering the construction of a railroad,
either from Plainiield or East Mont
pelier to the quarries, which are at
Adamant The stock from this quarry
is of very fine grain and about the
color of Barre dark stock.
Mr.. Whittier, as manager for the
company here, this morning put teams
at work uncoyering more of the sur
face Of the quarry than has been usedE
for it is the intent of the company tb
develop the quarry more next spring.
The quarry has been worked to the
depth of about IS feet and about 80
feet is directly under the derrick.
w. Z. Hughes of the firm has been in
the granite business for many years
and has associated with him other
practical men who likewise understand
The business They 'intimated before
leaving Montpelier Saturday that if
inducements were offered them they
would probably move their headquar-
tcrs to Montpelier.
Mr. Whittier has been associated
with Patch 4 Co. for about 80 years
AT first he held little interest in the
business and did the bookkeeping, but
as wears went by he gradually picked
up the stock of different members of
the company until few years ago he
became sole owner of the property.
Much Of the granite has been shipped
from East Montpelier. In the early
DAYS of the opening of the quarry,
Timothy Kclleher and Charles and
Leonard Lawrence were connected with
the first activities Of the company.
Engineers from the Montpelier &
Barre Light & Power company were to
have commenced work this morning
relative to furnishing electricity for
operation Of the quarry, but the work
was postponed until Wednesday, They
will also give estimates as to the cost
Of operating an electric railroad to the
quarries from either East Montpelier
or Plainfeld This viii have to be sufii-
GENTLY well constructed to handle very
heavily loaded freight cars.

SPECIAL DISPENSATIoN MADE.
Mohammedan Church Heads Realize
Importance of American Relief Work.

Saraievo, Bosnia, Oct. 3l--Moham.
medan church heads here have made
special dispensations to their followers
to assist the American Red Cross in
its relief work. The church will now
permit the feeding OF children during
religious fasts. Heretofore true Mo
hammedans of whatever age or sex
were not allowed TO eat or drink from
o'clock in the morning until 1880 in
the evening.
This concession from the Moham-
medans came as token of appreciation
of the American work, which has been
conducted without regard to race, col
or or creed and has saved thousands
of children from the acute suffering
which they have endured since the
event which ignited the world war.
Statistics gathered by the Moslem
church authorities show that the
alarming infant death and illness rate
in Saraievo dropped steadily after the
event of American relief.
The American administration and the
Red Cross established 81 public feed
in stations in Saraieyo and 81 in 9th
er towns throughout Bosnia and Herr
govina, parts of the new JugoSlav
nation.

Is Proposed in Unanimous
Consent Agreement
Sent in To-day
BY ADMINISTRATION
LEADERS IN SENATE
Agreement Provides Trea-
ty, if Not Ratified This
Week, Can Be Set Aside

Washington, ID. G., Nov 3,--A final
vote this week on ratification of the
peace treaty is proposed in unani-
nous consent agreement drawn up for
presentation to the Senate to-day by
the administration leaders,
Apparently contemplating the pos
sibility of deadlock over reservations
the agreement provides that after this
week, the treaty, if not ratified, can be
laid aside
Under the plan put forward as a
counter to Republican Leader Lodges
proposal for a final vote Nov. II, all
amendments would be disposed of to-
day, the reservations of the foreign re-
lations committee would be passed on
to morrow and Wednesday, and the
committees resolution of ratification
voted on Thursday. Friday and Satur-
day would be reserved for considera-
ton of alternate ratification resom-
tions, should that presented by the
committee fail.
The fact that the agreement proyid-
ed for possible deadlock on the treaty
was taken as another indication that
the administration forces would vote
against ratification if the committee
reservations were adopted, and then
would present a ratification resolution
containing only qualifications of an in.
terpretative character.
Debate on all subjects relating to the
trpatv would he limited under the plan
to l5-minute speeches, and the Senate
would meet an hour earlier than usual
each day.
