WILSON PREPARES HIS
REPLY IN ADRZAI7C
CASE; TO BE BRIEF
INJUNCTION AGAINST
SELLING SHIPS
Hearst Wins First Step In Contest of
Sale of Former German
Liners,

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia temporary
injunction to prevent the sale of the 80
former German passenger liners recently
offered by the board was granted today
by Associate Justice Bailey of the dis
trict supreme court. Justice Bailey said
that after a careful examination of the
statutes he was of the opinion that they
did not show an intention on the part of
congress to place in the President or in
the shipping board the power to sell the
ships.
Application for the injunction was
made last Saturday by William Ran
dolph Hearst and hearings on it were
held Monday while the ships were being
offered at public auction.
The board announced yesterday that
it had decided to reject all of the bids
received and at the same time it asked
congress for authority to again offer the
ships at public auction.
Chairman Payne of the shipping board
announced that he would recommend to
the department of Justice that an appeal
from the temporary injunction be filed i'm
mediately. Meantime, he said, it was ex-
pected that Mr.. Hearst would be re-
quired to furnish bonds to protect the
board against loss by reason of the ships
lying idle.

WOMAN'S CLUB HEARS
INTERESTING TALK
Mrs. Allen B. Chamberlain of Boston
Speaks on Americanization-
Well Fitted by Experience.

An unusually interesting talk was given
before members of the Brattleboro Wo-
mans club yesterday afternoon by Mrs
Allen B. Chamberlin of Boston, whose sub
ject was Americanization. The speaker
was especially fitted to speak ON her topic
inasmuch as her work during the war and
since has brought her into close touch with
that problem During the war Mrs Cham
berlin worked with the Farm Bureau of
Massachusetts, making points of contact
with foreign groups. At present she is on
the mayors committee for Americaniza-
ton and works at the state house along
the same lines doing Americanization
work
She spoke of the necessity of bringing
foreign groups into the community life
and cited instances of the broadening eff
feet of bringing them into touch with their
American neighbors and American citi.
zens In much travel abroad Mrs. Cham
berlin has been given an opportunity to
Hlnow how the people live at home, and
she gave very interesting account of
their customs and habits and of how hard
it is for them to adapt themselves to
American life. She urged the women par
tieularly to help them to understand and
to bring them into everyday American
life. The speaker referred to the fondness
of the young foreign people for music
and that they were not given an Oppor-
tunity for their musical instinct or tai
ents here except in a few instances where
bands have been formed An opportunity
should be given, she declared, for develop
ment of their nature along this line.
Piano solos by John Russell were part
of the program

WOULD AUTHORIZE
CABINET MEETINGS
Another Measure introduced to Pro-
vide Government During a
Presidents Disability.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.-Another bill
to deal with a situation arising from the
inability of a president to transact his
duties was introduced today in the house.
Representative Madden, Republican, of
Illinois, offered a measure empowering
the cabinet to call meetings when the
president is disabled. Like other meas
ures introduced yesterday it would not
be applicable TO President Wilson. Mr..
Madden said he was moved to introduce
his bin because Mr.. Wilson had estab-
lished a precedent in contending that cab
met meetings could not be held without
his order and that definite laws on the
subject were desirable.

Curtailment of West River
Service Is Con-
templated
PLAN TO BE MET
BY OPPOSITION
Agents Approached by Railroad Of
fcials-Only Three Stations Would
Be Kept Open All the Time, it Is
Understood Here.

be hepV open All the Time, 1t Is
Understood Here.
While no definite conclusion has
been reached, the Central Vermont
Railway Co. is contemplating closing
several of the stations on the West
River branch between Brattleboro and
South Londonderry, except for short
time each day on the ground that the
income of the road does not warrant
keeping the stations open all the time
The company cannot close the sta
tions without permission from the
public sepvibe commission. and thus
far no move has been made in that
direction, but the Brattlebor0 board of
trade has been looking into the matter
and has brought the matter informally
to the attention of the public service
commission. The commission knows,
therefore, that if petition is fled by
he railroad company it win be op-
posed.
While here to aattend a session of
the supreme court this week Attorney
John w Redmond, counsel for the Gen.
| by The Reformer relative to the propo-
sition to curtail the service and close
some of the stations, and he replied
| that he had not heard of any such
plan, adding that such a movement
could not be carried out without per-
mission from the public service COM
mission.
Some of the residents in the towns
of the West River valley have learned
of the plan through the efforts of Supt.
E. J. Guthrie of the southern division,
whose headquarters are in New Lon
don, to learn what arrangements could
be made with the station agents or
others at those places where it is pro-
posed to curtail the service to keep
the stations open an hour or so each
day, opening the stations little before
train time and keeping them open for
a time after the departure of the train.
As it is understood here the plan
is to run but one passenger train a
day each way, arriving here about
9.45 a. m. and leaving about 4 p m. 1t
is understood also that the only sta
tions it is proposed to keep open all
the time are at South Londonderry,
Jamaica and Newfane
The inconvenience of such an ar
rangement and the sentiment of the
residents of the valley are indicated
in the following letter from one of
them to The Reformer:
