however encountered heavy rain
storms and deep mud in the West.
Aside from the fact that this is a
new record, 1t is also the first time in
history that an automobile has been
permitted to carry mail across the
continent. All cars carried bags Of

WHEELER BROUGHT

Man Who Deserted Child at ST. Johns
bury Taken in Custody by State
Probation officer.

MONTPELIER, Aug. 19.-Charles A.
Smith, deputy state probation officer, has
returned from Missouri where he was
sent by State Probation Officer. Jeffrey to
bring back to Vermont, William II.
Wheeler, for violation of the terms of his
probation. tsi-
Wheeler was placed upon probation by
the Lamoille county court. For a time
all went well, then his wife and child
came from Maine and soon after this he
stole ham and with his wife and child
proceeded to st. Johnsbury, where they
abandoned their small child at the st.
Johnsbury House The Wheelers were
traced to New Hampshire where other
forgeries were committed and finally
were located in Missouri with the result
that the state board of charities and pro-
baton have returned them to the state
as above indicated.
Probation, which is intended to be used
to give those who have violated our laws
an opportunity for reformation, is being
made to mean something. The criminal
is given his chance, but if he fails to
profit by that he is certain to be returned
to the court and by the court sent to
prison.

Maine Women VOC First.

AUGUSTA. Me, Aug. l9.-Maine will
be the first state to vote following the
final ratification of the federal suffrage
amendment. In the absence of Governor
Milliken, Lester NJ. Hart, secretary to the
governor, asked yesterday regarding any
legal action that might be necessary IN
Maine, as result of the ratification,
said that he thought none would be taken
bv the state. There had been some con-
sideration of calling a special session OF
the legislature to extend the time during
which registration boards must sit, IN
order to provide for the registration OF
the women in the cities, but no decision
was reached on this point. 1t would seem
that the only thing for the cities to do
now is to increase the clerical force on
their registration boards so that they can
take care of the extra work

600 women were entitled to vote for the

o'clock as the result of injuries sus-
tanned Tuesday evening on the main
road between here and Poultney when
two automobiles crashed together. One
Of the cars was Pierce-Arrow touring
car owned and driven by W. IL. Will
liams, proprietor of the Williams gar
age in POultney, and the other was an
Essex automobile owned by John $.
.Iubar, proprietor of the Iubar restaur-
ant here None of the occupants of
the Williams ear was reported injured,
but Misses Mayme, Irene and Florence
McGuinncss, Mr.. Jubar and the chauf-
four of the Essex machine were badly
shaken up.
According to the best information
the Williams car caught the front hub
cap of the Essex car, severing the front
and back fender, the running board Il
back wheel and also springing the rear
axle.
The Williams car travelled several
feet before it was brought to stop,
and an investigation showed that the
front wheel had been knocked off and
every spoke in the wheel broken. The
cause of the accident is not definitely
known, but it is probable that the
driver of the Jubar car, which turned
cut to pass a lumber team, did not see
the Williams car, or that the driver of
the Williams car did not see the Jubar
machine.
