WOOLEN GOODS NOT

Court Sustains Demurrer BY Hughes
and Quashes Indictments
Against Wood.

NEW YORK, July ll.-Indictments
charging protiteering against the Ameri-
can Woolen Companies of New York and
Massachusetts and William NJ Wood,
president of the corporation, were
quashed today by Federal Judge Mack.
Judge Mack sustained the demurrer in
terposed by Charles Evans Hughes, spe-
cial counsel for the defense, which held
that woolen goods did not constitute
wearing apparel and therefore did not
come within the meaning of the Lever
act.
Judge Mack said wearing apparel was
clearly necessity, but that congress, by
its amendment of Oct. %, 1919, to the
original Lever act merely had in mind
the trade signifcation of what cloth
meant
The court added that although it held
that congress had power to regulate dis
| tribution of woolen cloth it felt that
since congress did not broaden the trad,
meaning of the term, wearing apparel tC
include a bolt of cloth the court was un
| able to find any meaning in the act Other

FIRE OFFICER ON
INSPECTION TRIP
Deputy Marshal Preble Visits Brattle-
boro Buildings and Finds Bad
Conditions in Some Places.

Inspection Of several buildings in the
past two days by Deputy State Fire Mar
shal A. c. Preble of Montpelier has re-
vealed in some places very bad condi-
tions, especially in electric wiring, accu-
mutation of rubbish in cellars and the rear

needed.
In case the orders of the fire marshal

The inspector, who was accompanied by
Fire Chief Frank Streeter, went through
the Crosby block the town hall building,
both watercure buildings, the high school
building, the c. f. Bradley corporation

visit to Brattleboro The chief of the
fire department later will inspect the
properties where the conditions were not
correct, and il the marshal's orders have
not been carried out he will report to the
Montpelier office, which will take action.
This is the first year the new law has

department has not had opportunity to
make complete round of visits While
conditions in Brattleboro, Mr. Preble
said did not appear to be worse than
in other places in the state, there is chance
for great improvement. The deputy mar
shal suggested that persons 20 through
their attics and dispose of old mattresses
and other articles which have passed their
usefulness, clean up cellars and premises

HAYNES EXPLAINS
SHORTAGE OF BEEF
Says Dealers Idea Is Incorrect - Not
Enough Cattle Coming Into Mar
ket to Meet Demand.

Jesse E. Haynes, manager of the
Rrattleboro branch of Swift & Co.,
states that the local dealers under
standing that the shortage of beef is
due to cessation of slaughtering by
the packers is incorrect.
The market is tight but the reason
Mr.. Haynes states, is that the mum.
Der of cattle brought to the packing
centers is insufficient to supply the de
mand. In Chicago, for instance, tn,
figures the past few days have beer
around 1000 when they should have

Building Remain Standing Sew
eral Other Engines Run Out Of
Building in Safety.

Damage estimated at over $1,000 was
caused to the Central Vermont round
house and one large locomotive shortly
after 5 o'clock this morning by fire
which was discovered on the roof of the
building by w. c. Henry, the watchman,
who had just left the building to look
after an engine which stood near the
coal sheds, short distance south.
Charles Spaulding, another night man,
was in the office, which is separated by a
brick partition from the section of the
roundhouse in which the fire was discoy-
cred, but he knew nothing of the fire
until Mr.. Henry notified him. News of
the fire was sent to the telegraph office
at the railroad station and from there
by telephone to the fire department head
quarters, and an alarm was rung in from
box 30.
Six or seevn engines were in the build
ing, but all except No. 404. which is a
| big engine and which had been back from
the repair shops in st. AIbans only
about two weeks, were run out.
| Nearly the entire roof was burned of,
also the back side so that only the two
end walls are standing The cab and
woodwork of the engine were burned.
Two streams of water were played upon
the fire and firemen remained at the
scene about an hour and half. The
damage to the building is estimated at
3 600 or more and the damage to the
engine was said today by Samuel Ashby
station agent, to be $1,000 or more. 1t is
not known how the fire started.
! 1t is estimated that a month or more
viii be required before the repairs can be
completed.
