TWO DIVORCES AT A CLIP.
Were Heard in Franklin County Court
at st. Albans.

St Albans, April l5.--An unusual
proceeding in Franklin county court
yesterday afternoon was the trial be-
fore Judge Sherman r. Moulton of two
divorce cases at the same time.
The cases were Janey Turner Bell vs..
Horace Milton Bell and Stafford Dun
bar vs. Alive Houghton Dunbar, and
divorces were granted in both cases for
adultery In the former case there was
a decree of alimony as per stipulation,
which means that the petitioner will
receive the equivalent OF $1,000 to
S24. 900.
In the Dunbar case. the petitioner
was granted the care and custody of
the minor children. The cases were
of much interest on account of the
prominence of the parties concerned.
Captain Bell for several wears was con
nected with the Robin Hood Ammnni-
tion company at Swanton and recently
had been in the coal business there. He
and his wife took an active part in
the social life of the town. The same
evidence taken in the Bell case to-day
was considered in the Dunbar case. The
evidence was circumstantial entirely,
the witnesses testifying TO occasions
when Mrs. Dunbar and Captain Bel
were seen together either riding in a
motor car or at church before the open
ing Of service There was also cir
evidence tending 10 show
the departure from the state of Mrs.
Dunbar about the time that Captain
Bell Left the state and that they had
not returned since The date assigned
was about Feb. % or 2s.
r. L. Webster of Swanton and A.
Of Richford were counsel for
the petitioner in the Bell case and

sented the petitionee, who was nN
present in the court Z. A. Ayers of

BATTLE is EXPECTED
AMONG MEXICANS
Martial Law Proclaimed in Aqua Prize

Attack by Carranza Forces
on Sonora Republic
Troops.

Aqua Prieta, Sonora, April l5.--Mar-
tial law was proclaimed in Aqua Prize
ia to-day in preparation for possible
attack by Carranza forces should the
Mexican presidents troops break
through the barrier of soldiers the new
republic has stationed between here
and the Chihuahua Sonora boundary.
Carranza troops were reported at Ca
sas Grandes, 200 miles from here, pre-
pairing to march into Sonora and to-
ward this border port.
Official confirmation still was lack
ing to-day of the first battle reported
between Carranza and Sonora soldiers
at the Sinalao frontier.
Military authorities here said the
state would have approximately 25,000
fully equipped and armed troops to
meet any invasion by Carranza. They
said Carranza has 10000 troops in Chi
huahua but that reducing that number
to send men to Sonora would mean the
rapid ascension of Francisco Villa to
his former power and control of the
states. Recent reprts have
said Villa is more active than he has
been any time since last June.

G. N. TTLDEN PRESIDENT.
Barre Man Heads Vermont Shoe Re-
tailers' Association.

Burlington, April 'l5.-The Vermont
Shoe Retailers put in profitable day
yesterday in attendance of the fifth an
nual convention. which was in session
at the New Sherwood hotel. The shoe
men had plenty of fun during the day
but the afternoon and evening were
mostly spent in listening TO some able
talks on phases of their business. A
feature of the meeting was the large
number OF exhibits which took up most
of the space in the large dining room of
the hotel
District Attorney V. A. Bullard
spoke briefly on the Lever act, which
he said originally did not include shoes
and clothing, but was restricted to
foods. Last year clothing and shoes
were included. He said that the act
merely provided for Investigation.
There always was law against gouging
the public or misrepresenting goods. He
had no cases of a shoe mans profteer-
ing i'm Vermont. He announced that
George n. Tilden OF Barre, a shoe re-
taller. had been appointed TO the fair
price commission to assist Orio l.. Luce,
the fair price commissioner. This was
done at the request of the shoe re-
tailers.
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: President, George
n. Tilden of Barre; first vice president,
W. W. Hartwell of Mortified; second
vice president, ]. II. Amey of St.
Johnsbury; secretary. Lester Clough Of
Barre; treasurer, Frank j. Shea of
Barre. The place of meeting NEXT year
will probably be Barre, although no ac-
tion was taken on the matter.
The meeting closed in the evening,
when about IS were present. Shoe
men from all parts of the country
made short talks. Il was the general
consensus OF opinion that this summer
would see a closing up of a large num-
Der Of the shoe plants in New England,
and perhaps most Of the plants
throughout the country. because of the
impossible demands made by labor In
some instances increases of IS and even
100 per cent had been asked for. II WAS
the opinion of the speakers that the
would at last draw the
line and fight the proposition out for
the reason that prices could not be in
creased to meet such expense of pro-
duction. Among those who spoke were
Ralph Baker of Cincinnati. George
Lovely Of Boston and George 7. Dur
bin of New York.
