New Hampshire Citizen Arrested for
Operating His Car While Under
the Influence of Liquor

Frank Moore, well-known citizen
of Groveton, N. H, got into trouble
yesterday when he tried to drive his
car down Sand Hill. This is one of
the steepest and crookedest streets
in the village and Mr.. Moore's con-
dition was not such that he could
make the sharp turn towards the bot
tom of the hill and his car landed
over on the western bank.
Chief of Police Finley was noti-
fed of the accident and arrested Mr..
Moore and brought him to the police
station. He was charged with operat-
ing his car while under the influence
of liquor and pleaded guilty.
Judge Morse happened into the
police station just in time to hold
court and fined him $50 and costs,
which he paid. Mr.. Moore was driv-
ing Buick car which bore the New
Hampshire license number and the
case was reported to the Vermont
secretary of state who will report it
to the proper authorities in the state
of New Hampshire.

BROKE HIS NECK
And That Was Just What His Owner
Hoped He Would Do-Horse Col
lides with "Air Line" Express

Wishes seldom come true sooner
than in the unfortunate accident to
Robert Learmouth's horse yesterday
afternoon which broke his neck when
he collided with the "air line" above
the Portland street crossing. Mr..
Learmouth came in from his Goss
Hollow farm and hitched his horse
near the Ely works on Portland
street. When he came back to it
the horse was dashing up the street
with the wagon attached and Mr..
Learmouth's exclamation was 81 hope
he'll break his neck"
The horse ran through some of the
Portland street gardens, discarding
the wagon, which was by this time
sadly demolished, behind the Weeks
store. He then started for the rail
road track and met the Montreal ex-
press coming in to st, Johnsbury just
above the crossing. The horse
struck the engine glancing blow
and was instantly killed, having brok-
en- his neck by the collision.

PLAN METHOD
TO RE-F0REST
new ENGLAND

WASHINGTON, July 17-"Plans
for the perpetuation of the forests IN
New England and the East, and for
the restoration OF the denuded forest
land should be thoroughly discussed
by the Association of Eastern For
estcrs which meets at Kineo Me-, to-
day." declares Charles Lat!lrop Pack,
president of the American Forestry
Association. He has issued call to
the Eastern Foresters to express
their view of the need of national
forest policy.
"The people of this country must
be told how our forests are disap-
pearing" said Mr.. Pack, "and must
be aroused to the need of policy
which will result in our watersheds
being protected for all time and for
our forests to be managed so that
they may provide for all our future
lumber and forest product require
ments.
"New England is no longer fac
tor in our lumber supplies and its
pulpwood supplies are being rapidly
exhausted. The paper mills of the
country already import 30 per cent of
their raw material in the form of
wood or pulp Our hardwoods in the
North and the East are being rapidly
used up and many wood using indus
tries are already embarrassed for
supplies.
"The Eastern Foresters are experts
who should be able to offer a practi-
cal solution to the problem of how to
conserve what forests we have re-
naming how to restore what forests
have been destroyed, how to protect
our forests from fire and how to pro-
vide for perpetuation of our forests
so that the lumber requirements of
the nation may be assured for the
future.
"The American Forestry Associa-
ton will heartily support the demand
Of the United States Forest Service
for a national forest policy and will
call upon the lumbermen, timberland
owners and the foresters of the coun-
try to suggest plans for a policy
which will be practical and which
will assure the nation of ample for
ests for its future needs"

RIOTINC
IN ENGLAND
FOLLOWS WAR

LONDON, July II, Correspond
ence of The Associated Press)-Race
riots in the northern part Of England
and Wales have created STIR
throughout the country, principally
because of the novelty oil sucA oc-
currences in these islands.
Normally there are few negroes or
aliens with colored skins to be seen
in Great Britain, but the cXigencles of
war caused the importation of large
number of them to work on seaport
docks and to recruit the ranks OF
manual laborers depleted by the call
for fighting men. They were brought
from various parts of the world,
South Africa and the West Indies
supplying the bulk of them. Many
Arabs also were imported.
Repatriation of these colored men
has been slow, with the consequence
that many demobolized British sol
diers have had what to them seemed
the bitter experience of seeing
strangers engaged at profitable en-
ployment while they, themselves,
looked in vain for work.
Resentment over this state of af-
fairs quickly developed into hatred
when the soldiers observed that the
strangers were trying to cultivate the
acquaintance of white girls. A
number of negroes took white wives.
A medical officer in the troubled
district describes the situation as
very serious both from health and
economic point of view, and asserts
that 100000 demobolized men are still
without employment while negroes
are employed. "Is this not a gross
injustice?" he asks. at is nothing
less than iniquitous that the men who
have fought for their country should
find the jobs then need occupied by
negroes"

The Boston elevated railway sys-
tenn strike was called as protest
against the alleged delay on the
part of the war labor board in an
nouncing it's award in the wage dis
pute between the company and the
carmen by strikers demanding eight
hour day and wages of 1914 cents an
hour. No attempt was made to op-
crate cars under strike conditions.
The public ard carmen must await
the war labor boards decision.
The strike also affects the Bay
State Street Railway Company's
lines and those of the MiddleseX &
Boston and others that they must
not come in over the lines of the
Boston Elevated system while the
strike is in progress.
This means that while thousands Of
street car patrons may be given SER
vice on other lines that serve now
as a means of reaching Boston they
will be carried to outlying points in
the city, but will have to find some
other means of transportation into
the city itself.
Boston literally "hooked it" today
in a sweltcring heat. Auto trucks
fitted with camp chairs and seatees,
coal trucks with chairs and all kinds
of private vehicles were pressed into
service.
Regular auto bus lines were jam
med with passengers. 1t was the
most complete tie-up Boston has ever
known.
Special trains were put on by the
railroads and cared for some Of the
crowds. No end of the strike is in
sight.

The President expected to see
Senators Colt of Rhode Island and
Nelson of Minnesota during the af-
ternoon. Invitations have been sent
to several more Republican Senators
to call at the White House tomorrow
1t was intimated that the President
planned to invite all Republican Sem
ators to the White House, devoting
four or five hours each day to con-
ferences with them. Senators Borah
of Idaho and Johnson of California,
two of the bitterest opponents of the
League of Nations, were expected to
be on the list but there apparently
was some doubt in administration
circles whether they would accept.
Scnaor Lodge asserted today that
if the President submitted to the
Senate committee all the data asked
for in the various resolutions, White
House conferences would not be
necessary. With that data on hand,
it was argued by Republican commit
tee members, the only service left for
the President, so far as the commits
tee went, would be an interpretative
one, and interpretations, these Repub-
lican members said, remained the du-
ties of the committee.

Highgate Springs Man In
Alleged Plot to Get I'm
desirables Into Country

The attempt to get two families OF
undesirable aliens into this country
from Montreal by way of Fletcher
and st. Johnsbury which was frus-
trated by the vigilance of Conductor
e. M. jackson of the St. Johnsbury
& Lake Champlain railroad, has re-
suited in the suspension Of the au-
tomobile license of Kenneth {.
Broe of Highgate Springs,
Harry A. Black, secretary of state,
gave out notice of the suspension OF
Broe's license.
1t is alleged that it was Broe's car
that was used to go to St. Armand,
Quebec, where Mr.. and Mrs. Slutsky
and three children and Mr.. and Mrs
Joseph Light, had been brought from
Montreal by another car, and took
them across the border to Fletcher
where they were put abroad tram
for st. Johnsbury.
Both of the men are cripples as a
result of infantile paralysis. This,
coupled with the fact that it was un-
usual for families of this type to be
boarding a train at Fletcher, caused
Conductor Jackson to notify his gen
eral office by telegraph. The word
was passed to the immigration station
at Newport, and Inspector Ford hur-
ried to st. Joinsbury where he was
arrested the entire party. They were
taken back to Newport and deported
as undesirable aliens.
Secretary Black also gave notice
of suspension of the license of M. L..
Foclsey of Bennington and Dren A.

SUGAR SHORTAGE
NOT FAULT OF
LOCAL DEALERS
BIunder in Not Taking
Shipments as Agreed
Makes Country Suffer

The fact that many st. Johnsbury
housewives are compelled to go with
out sugar is not the fault of the local
retailer nor of the wholesalers who
supply this territory. Every effort
has been made to get sugar for Cal
edonia County customers but without
avail. Just when the shortage will
break is a question that cannot be
answered at this time. There is no
timidity on the part of dealers to buy
sugar anywhere it can be bought.
Robert Z. French of the wholesale
firm of French G. Bean explained the
sugar situation today as it affects this
section and the entire country:
"The cause of the present shortage
of sugar is at least partly due to the
fact that the Royal British Com
mission purchased 100000 tons of re-
fined sugar in this country for ex-
port, and this sugar was to be deliv
cred in February, March, April, May
and June, 1919, 10000 tons per
month. They did not begin to take
this sugar until April,'in any sizeable
quantities, and then they demanded
large quantity which compelled the
retiners TO cut down their domestic
orders to a minimum.
Some people are inclined to be-
licve that the local dealers are afraid
to buy but such is not the case. For
instance, in one case eleven cars have
been purchased and are waiting ship
mcnt but only two cars are promised
for immediate shipment, Obviously
this rate of delivery will not begin to
supply local needs.".
A letter from a New York broker
explains the situation more fully:
THE conditions throughout the
country are fierce with many sections
absolutely out of sugar, and this in
the face of plenty of new sugar.
The refners blame the country for
not protecting itself before hand On,
the other hand, when we consider
that according to the agreement be-
tween the refiners committee and the
British commission, whereby the lat
ter were to take 100000 tons divided
up to 10000 tons each month for Feb
ruary, March, April, May and June
and if they did not take the goods
during those months the orders were
to be cancelled-then what the Brit
ish Commission could not take them,
they asked for postponement which
was granted instead of cancellation,
Now they come in for the whole of
it at the very time our own people
need the goods for our fruits and we
are left in the background, simply
because we have to await the conven-
fence of the British Commission.
."In addition the refners have sold
for export to neutral countries, and
to show you how badly these coun-
tries needed the goods, we find that
these some goods have been resold
over and over again here until some
have sold tit is intimately as high as
11.50 and possibly higher.
"If the countries wanted tro-1,;
why don't they take them for SeIip-
ment during the months they require
them. It's simply a shameful specu-
lation and one of the factors to make
the country suffer.
