MOTORIST FINED
FOR MANSLAUGHTER
Sarkis Simonian Was Driving Car
Which Went Off Road Near Es-
sex Junction, Killing One
Occupant.

Burlington, Nov. l6.--Onc of the
lightest sentences for manslau3hter
which has even been given in Chltten-
den county court was that Received
yesterday by Sarkis Simonian, the
young Armenian who was driving the
Cadillac car which went off the road
near Pepin's crossing on the road pe-
tween Essex Junction and Essex Cen
ter on Sept. 0, when Murick Winslow
of Springfield, Mass, was killed and
several of the other occupants of the
car were injured.
Simonian appeared before Judge
Fred NJ. Butler i'll county court vester-
day afternoon and pleaded guilty to
the charge of lnanslaughter. After
statements by States Attorney Allen
Martin for the state, and J. J. Enright,
who appeared for the respondent,
Simonian was fined $500 and costs Of
1915. The fine was paid and Simonian
is again free man, after being in the
county Jail for more than two months.
Before pronouncing the verdict IN
this case, Judge Butler stated that or
dinarily the crime of manslaughter
calls for severe penalty and he feared
that the action of the court might be
misunderstood. But the court had
taken into consideration the facts in
the case as they had been presented,
and it appeared that there were GER
tain extenuating circumstances in this
case

DUNNETT WILL
HAS BEEN FOUND
Thus Adding a Complica-
tion Over the Estate of
Attorney
WIDOW Is ADE
THF BENEFICIARY
In Tr S Deed Mrs. Dun
net sS1t Only Homestead
S1 Income of Trust

st. Johnsbury, Nov. l6.-Another
chapter in the contest over the prop
erty of the late Alexander Dunnett,
attorney, is revealed in the finding of
will made by Mr.. Dunnett some years
ago and in which he bequeathed all his
property to the widow Mrs Dunnett
has brought action against the trus
tees named in the trust deed which
was made by Mr.. Dunnett short
time before his death this fall, in
which trust deed Mrs. Dunnett was
given the home in st. Johnsbury and
the income from the remainder of the
property held in trust, after which the
residue of the estate was to be di-
vided among brother in Ryegate and
nephews and nieces.
The discovery of the will, of course,
adds a complication to the distribution
Of the estate. The will was found ON
Saturday in some of Mr.. Dunnett's pa
pers in st. Johnsbury. The will was
witnessed by persons, both of whom
are living, and it names as executors
of the win f. f. Nichols of st. Johns
bury and J. d. McAllister of South
Ryegate.
The action brought by Mrs. Dunnett
was to test the legality of the trust
deed, which deprived her of the ma
jor portion of the estate.

Edward M. Anderson Testifies in III
vorce Suit.

When Washington county court con-
vened Monday afternoon the trial of
the contested divorce cases of Edward
NJ. Anderson VS.. Carrie Anderson and
Carrie Anderson VS.. Edward Anderson
was commenced. Mr.. Anderson was
the first witness, occupied most of the
afternoon. telling the family troubles
between himself and his wife, includ-
ing the statement that she brought a
libel for divorce once before and that
of her own initiative she dropped the
case.
He told of his illnesses and that dur
ing one of these she did not come to
the room to see him at all and that
he was cured by his oldest daughter
excepting what his brother and ply
sician looked after him while he was
having inflammatory rheumatism four
weeks and that at one time she .shoked
him and then following that boasted
of it, She was supposed to be in poor
health eit the time while Mr.. Ander-
son was employed daily as a carpenter.
Cross examination to break down his
testimony as to liberal expenditures
was made.
The Anderson divorce case was again
the matter of consideration this morn
ing, Mr.. Anderson completing his tes-
timony before the morning recess.
Jack and Johanna Anderson were
married this morning by Mayor H. c.
Shurtlef in city hall in Montpelier in
presence of her attorney, j. G. Frat
TIM, C. A. Smith, probation officer,
and others. She was sentenced in
Washington county court this morning
to the state prison for not less than
one year and than placed on probation
on the condition that she be married
forthwith, which was followed direct
ly afterward by the parties going to
the city clerks Office and getting a
marriage license. L. r. Davis, states
attorney, protested strongly against
the probation. claiming that there had
been no ground shown for such an ac-
tion and that the fact that she had
done nothing wrong since the informa-
ton was filed in court was not grounds
for the granting of probation. The pro
baton department had made an inves
tigation and recommended probation.

ATLEAGUE MEETINGS
South American Nations
Striving to Get u. S.
Membership

Geneva, Nov l6 (By the Associated
Pressl.-All danger that the assembly
of the league of nations may encroach
upon the Monroe doctrine by consider
ing American questions in absence of
the United States has been averted by
the withdrawal of request by Bolivia
and Peru for revision of treaties with
Chile.
1t is not expected that any other
American questions with dangerous
possibilities will come before the pres
ent session of the assembly.
SM committees, charged with deal
ing with all questions on the Aganda,
began work to-day. Each committee
has Al members, all the nations having
delegates at the meeting here being
represented.
South American delegates have
agreed the league of nations should do
all it can to get the United States TO
become a member nation.
Argentina is regarded as strong
candidate for representation on the
council of the league, the four elective
members of which will be chosen by
the assembly after receiving the report
of the committee on general organiza.
ton
The report of the council IN the
work that had been done since the
league was organized was taken up by
the delegates after some preliminary
matters had been disposed OF, chiefly
completion of organization of the com
mittees.

INDULGE IN OPEN BREAK
INDIANS SUBJECTED
TO CRAVE ABUSES
Sweeping Criticism of Administration
of Office of Indian Affairs Made
BY Thomas L. Sloan.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. l6.--Sweeping
criticism of the administration of the
office of Indian affairs and charges that
Indians have been subjected to abuses,
including unlawful seizure and leasing
of property by agents of the govern
ment, were made by Thomas L. Sloan
of Washington, d. c., president of the
society of American Indians, in his
report at the annual conference of the
organization here to-day.
The report also charged that legis'
lation in the interest of the race was
blocked in the last session Of Congress
by the office of the commissioner of
Indian affairs.
ut is advised that as the wrongs
have been inflicted by the present ad-
ministration of Indian affairs that will
be terminated on the fourth day of
March, 1921, we do not attempt to Sc
cure any relief from them but wait un-
til we have new administration to
which we may make further COM
plaint," the report states.
Land belonging to Crow Indians in
Montana has been leased. by the rescr-
walton superintendent to farming
corporation, the report charges and
that of the Fort Belknap Indians given
to the use of a cattle company.
"on the Pine Ridge Sioux reserva
ton in South Dakota" it continued,
territory about 40 miles long and 20
miles wide was thrown open by the
policy and order of the commissioner
or assistant commissioner of Indian
affairs to the use of a cattle COM
pany."
All of the land was owned by 1ndi-
ans, the report explains, and much Of
it populated.
Some Indians were reduced to power
ty and want by this action, according
to the report.
Another charge in the report is that
tribal herds were allowed to oyerrun
the property of individual members of
the Blaekfeet and Crow tribes, destroy
ing crops and that their stock was
allowed to starve.
"Sueh Indians were thereby made
destitute and now are in great need,
the report says.
Indians have been arrested and i'm
prisoned by agency officials, the report
alleges, despite the fact there is no au-
thority for such action.
1t complains also that allosments
have been held up.

Washington, d. c., Nov. l6 by the

the .Tacna-Arica dispute among Chile,
Peru and Bolivia by the league of ma
tions would not be regarded by the
American government as an encroach-
ment of the league on the Monroe doc
trine, according to state department
officials.
The administration attitude with
respect to the Monroe doctrice has been
based upon the literal Interpretation
providing against any territorial ag-
gression in South America
