CONSTABLE
FRUSTRATES
BANK BREAK
Ora Swett's Vigilance Pre-.
vents Attempt to Rob
Orleans Trust Co.

A band of thieves attempted to
break into the Orleans Trust COM
pany about II O'Clock Wednesday
evening, but were frustrated in their
efforts by the sudden appearance up
on the scene of Deputy Sheriff Ora
A. SWEET, who frightened the burglars
away before any damage could be
done.
Mrs. Ara Griggs several days ago
notified Constable SWEET that several
suspicious looking characters had
been lettering in the vicinity of the
bank building on several different
nights. Officer SWEET set out immed-
lately to apprehend the thieves. Hop
ing to catch them unawares, the
policeman made his rounds half an
hour earlier Wednesday night, COM
down through the alley back of
Smiths meat market. Just as he had
passed Barnard's blacksmith shop he
heard what he supposed was a box
fall in the rear of the Vermont To-
bacco companys store. He rushed
up and played his flashlight into that
store, but failed to find anyone. He
looked across the way and saw that
one of the screens in the window of
the Orleans Trust company had been
removed and that the window was
raised about a foot. He put his light
into the building but could not re-
veal anyone.
Constable SWEET telcphoned to At
fred Moulton, assistant cashier of the
bank, who came down Immediately
and made an examination. He found
nothing missing. The officer believes
that one of the thieves set the store
house fire in order to attract the peo-
pic of the town to the blaze and make
it easier for them to ransack the
bank. Constable SWEET is keeping a
close lookout for the burglars and
hopes to locate them soon if they
continue to prowl around this city.

Possible That Amy
ShOniO Was Murdered

The theory of the manner of the
death of Amy Shonio, found near a
cemetery in johnson on Tuesday af-
ternoon after having been missing
for more than three days, is now
swinging from that of suicide to that
of murder. Exponents of both theo-
ries are arguing the case in Johnson.
The body of the dead girl, who was
soon to have become a mother, was
taken to her home in Stowe for bur-
ial yesterday.
No official statements could be OBJ
tanned from either DR.. Stone, who
made an autopsy and an analysis of
the girls organs in the state labor
atory, or from States Attorney
Tracy. The latter has more than
once said that he is working on the
assumption that she committed suici-
de, but there are unofficial reports
that a murder theory is being con-
sidered. 1j>

ENGLAND PREPARES TO EN-
TER WAR AGAINST RUSSIA

LONDON, Aug. 5-The Daily
News learns that the government to-
dav considered the Polish situation
and that large quantities of war ma
terial are to be sent Immediately IN
concert with France. "There IS no
intention on the part of the Allies,
the newspaper adds, "to depart in
the slightest degree from their posi-
ton regarding Poland" The British
government may have to call for vol
unteers within the next few days to
aid in the preservation of the Yer
sailles treaty. 1t would be possible
for the war Office to send four dlvls-
ions within the next few weeks, two
divisions Immediately. Steps are be-
ing taken to mobilize the navy but
the cabinet has not yet definitely de-
cided.

LYNDONVILLE
MAN in THIRD
AUTO ACCIDENT
John Judge in Head-On-COl
lision as Result of Heavy
Cloud of Dust in Road

Anoher automobile accident oc-
CURED Wednesday on the road be-
tween st. Johnsbury Center and ST..
Johnsbury just below the Knowlton
farm at late hour in the afternoon
John Judge of Lyndonville, proprie-
tor of a restaurant there, passed an
other car going in the same direction
and ran head-on into Floyd Clary,
also of Lyndonville, but bound in the
other direction. Clary is student
at the General Electric school in
Maine college and is in Lyndonvllle
with his parents for the summer va
cation. He is known to be cautious
driver.
So far as could be ascertained,
neither party was especially to be
blamed. The dust on the road was
so thick that Judge could not see
clearly the road ahead, according to
his story, and for the same reason,
Clary did not see him until they col
lided. Both cars were badly smashed
up, but the occupants were uninJjured
beyond bruises and scratches.
This is Judges third accident with
in a short time. On Monday. July
26, he struck the auto of States
Attorney James B. Campbell, crum-
pling the right running board on the
latter's Buick five passenger touring
car, but not damaging his own. Mr..
Campbell was driving west on Cen
tral street by the Goss garage. HIS
wife was in the car with him. Because
the road was torn up by construction
work, he was gon~ slowly. His view
was obstructed at the corner by the
Goss building and by large Packard
car standing there. AS he reached the
intersection of Central and Summer
streets, he saw judge coming at ra-
pit rate, and realized that collision
was imminent. He swung his car, to
the left. on Summer street and be-
cause he was moving so slowly was
able to keep tight to the curb. Judge,
beink afraid of the ditch on the other
side kept left of the center of the
street and struck Campbells car. He
did not slacken speed, nor did he
swcrve~ his car from its original
course. Judge is insured against loss
from his accidents with the Impey
and Cummings Agency.

poration of New York conferred with
Ponzi here today. Ponzi previously
had announced that New York syn
dicate had made him an offer for his
business and that a conference had
been arranged.
Mr.. Herman said that he and his
associates had made a careful inves-
tigation of Ponzi and his business and
had satisfied themselves that his
methods were sound. Ponzi, he said,

A Quaf From Natures Magic Cup

Oh, come with me on a summers day
For a pleasant stroll in the canyon
gay;
Pass over the bridge and up the hill,
Where stands the busy flour mill.
Then follow the musical, gurgling
stream,
Whose messy banks and carpet Of
green,
Leads up through shrubs and tangled
vine,
Ger moss-grown rocks where willows
entwine
With birch and oak to make bower
Where one can pass a peaceful hour.
The pine-scented breeze that is watt
ed down
From wooded slopes near the noun
tain's crown,
Kisses the brow more tenderly
Than lover could his bride-to-be.
And as we gaze our souls mount up,
AS if quaff from some magic cup
With intoxicating power so rare
Drives from our thoughts all earthly
care;
And fills us with joy, and faith, and
love
For that wondrous Being who reigns
above.-"Billy."

TRAFFIC INCREASE
TREDLED SINCE 1898
Greater Efficiency Enabled Rail-
roads to Meet Country's
Growing Demands.

The American railroads are more
than one-third Of the railways Of the
world. The trsfhc hauled on the rail-
ways Of the United States Is now three
times as great as IL was twenty years
ago. In four months now the railroads
carry ss much freight and 40 many
passengers rs they did then In year.
In the three months alone Of the har-
vest movement in 1919 the trsfic equal
ed that Of the whole year Of 1898.
In 1898 freight ton miles carried by
the railroads Of the country were more
than 100000. oo0, 900 q year. In 1910
they were more than 100000, 000, 900,
In 1918 more than 100000, o00, 900 and
in 1918 more than 400, 000, 900, 900. Al
though the railway mileage increased
only about 65 per cent since 1890, i'm
provements In tracks, terminals, equip
ment, etc. have been so marked that
the volume Of goods carried (measured

Increased Efficiency.
Taking account Of both freight and
passenger service, the railroads In 1900
hauled $4,000 trafic units freight
tons carried one mile, plus passengers
carried one mile) for each railway en-
ployee. BY 1917, the last year OF pri-
vats operation Of the railroads prior to
the entry Of the United States into the

to $4,000.

THE NON.STRIKE UNION.

Muncie, Indiana, has the honor of
being the birthplace of the first non
strike union.
In Muncie the stationary engineers
have organized, and have secured
charter from the National Associa-
ton of Stationary Engineers. The
platform of this unique union states
that the purpose of the association is
primarily for the education of its
members. The platform, according to
press reports, further says:
"Ths association shall at no time
be used for the furtherance of strikes
nor for the purpose of interfering in
any way between its members and
their employers in regard to wages.
It recognizes the identity of interests
between employer and employee and
discountenances any project or enter
prise that will interfere with perfect
harmony between them. Neither
shall it be used for political or religi-
Gus purposes"
Who shall say that union like this
will not be successful in helping it's
members get higher wages through
being worth more, while at the same
time it is making life pleasanter and
richer for them ?-Advertising Ey-
