have been current about the streets
of Rutland for the past few DAYS that
the Castleton Normal school is to re

d. Whittier of the state education de-
partment at Montpelier, who is in
Rutland, it will be known as a teach
ers' training school In discussing the
school, Mr.. Whittier said;
Preliminary steps have been taken
towards the organization of a teach
ers' training class at Castleton. The
state board of education has sent me to
Castleton for a conference with Mrs. r.
c. Ransom, and Miss Mary G. Highev.
a committee of the Castleton Normal
School Alumni association.
"As soon as sufficient number Of
students. seniors or graduates from
high schools are secured. a class will
be maintained at the normal school
for the ensuing year. The
alumni of the Castleton Normal school |
are being urged to write or wire the |
alumni committee of all prospective
Students they may know"

FIVE WOMEN PZCKETS,
WITH LONGSHOREINEN.
GIVE DEMONSTRATION
WANT TAX ABOLISHED
As Imposed on American Citizens, Who
Are Residing Abroad.

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 2s.-American,
residing in Brazil have begun, through
the American chamber of commerce fol
Brazil, an active campaign for the
| abolition or reduction of the American
income tax on citizens residing abroad
The chamber has authorized a special
committee to engage prominent
lawyer Of Washington to bring before
Congress bill drawn up by the cham.
Der dealing with the subject. Ths
moral and financial support of all
American chambers abroad and the
foreign trade bodies in the United
States is being solicited. Americans
abroad are TO be asked TO urge their
congressional representatives to make
independent representations to Con.
gress.
The committee which had the matter
in charge recommends that total ex-
emption be asked for, principally for
the reason that European countries do
not tax their nationals engaged in bus.
mess abroad, and that only total ex-
emption will place the American on an
equal footing with European competi.
tors in developing American foreign
trade.
The argument for exemption is based
not only on the handicap in compari-
son with European competitors, but
also on the political theory that taxa
tlon without representation is con.
trary to American ideals, the commit. |
tee pointing out that Americans, liv- |
ing abroad, are unable to express their
will concerning government policies, be-
ing virtually deprived of the right to
vote.
1t is also argued that Americans
living abroad are involved in a greater
amount OF responsibility and effort for
he good of American interests, i'm
posing greater financial burden than
would be the case at home; that while
he American at home receives preferen-
lal protection for his business through
IMPORT taxation against foreign oom.
'etltlon, the American abroad is sub.
ect to the customs and taxes levied
y his country of residence without
ny preferential protection.
Danger that Americans abroad NAV
eiinquish their American citizenship
nd adopt that of the country where {
hey reside rather than submit to what I
ley deem an excessive and unjust tax Z
ossibiiity of evading the tax and un. ,
,irness this creates, and hardship of ]
ne tax on Americans of moderate 9
cans are other reansons advanced why :
he income tax should be abolished. 7

PART OF STRIKERS
RESUME WORK
The Women Want Great
Britain to Give Arch
bishop Mannix Permis-
sion to Visit Ireland and
McSweney Released from
Prison.

New York, Aug. 2s.--Hostilities wer,
resumed to-day by the FIVE pro-Irisl
women pickets who yesterday started
demonstration that resulted in q
swalkout of more than 1000 longshore
men employed on British ocean liners
as a protest against Great Rritain's
Irish policy.
The women returned TO the piers
with large cohort of longshoremen
supporters, intent on crippling all Brit
ish ships arriving in pert. Plans also
we're said TO be on foot to spread the
protest strike TO other Atlantic ports
and to extend it, if possible, to ship
crews as well as longshoremen.
Although the longshoremen out de :
clared they would not return to work
until Archbishop Mannix, Australian
prelate, had been permitted to enter
Ireland and Lord Mayor McSweney of
Cork released from Brixton prison,
London, their stand was not expected
to prevent the sailing of number of
ships due to clear port during the day.
Officials of the Cunard line and the
international Mercantile Marine said
the walkout had not included any mem
bers of the crews, and that, if neces
sary, the ships would clear with in
complete cargoes
The demonstration started yesterday
upon the arrival in port of the steam.
ship Baltic, on which Archbishop Man
nix sailed several weeks ago, and from
which he was removed by British olfi- |
eials at Penzance, England, without be-
ing allowed TO disembark on Irish soil |
One of the banners borne by the
women read when Msnnix goes to Ire
land let the Baltic leave New York
Another denounced the Baltic's crew
for allowing the archbishop to be taken
Of their ship.
Loading and unloading was soon
stopped or slowed on the Celtic, Olym.
pic, Canopic, Gothland, Finland, st.
faul, Aqultania and Pannonia, and
also on a number of freighters.
As result of wireless message
sent last night to the Mauret a mia. due
here this forenoon, plans were made to
have her baggage, Passengers and cargo {
unloaded by the crew and the com. {
pany's dock force, independent of the ]
longshoremen.
About half the longshoremen who I
walked out yesterday returned 10 work {
his morning, it was announced at the
'ffices of the Internstiona Longshore. i
mems association. I
At the Cunard line Offices it was an. l
'ounced that the Mauritania. now at Z
will not be docked until 5
''clock, seven hours late, because her
'erth is occupied by the Aquitania
Which Is scheduled TO depart at noon.
