chosen and that it is quite probable that Griffith will rot decide for some time what the picture will work into.
 The origin of the story on the fam ous play of Southern slavery was probably derived from the fact that a river scene is in the scenario. It depicts crossing of the ice, similar to Eliza's tescapade. This scene was taken today. Artificial ice was float ed in the Pennington and the cam. era men filmed from mid-streafn, be. ing careful not to obtain the banks OF any foliage to give away the season of the year. Many rehearsals were run of the young lady crossing the foes of ice. Yesterday the camera men filmed Old Red Mill on the banks of the stream and took several pie lures of the Indian camp ground, back of the winchell Smith new home.
 MT. Griffith and some of the casr are the guests of Mir Smith while others of the personnel stay in various places about town. Lillian Gish, Richard Bartholomew and others are with the stars, while there is group of about 20 assistants, including camera men and so forth. There are several more scenes to be taken in Pennington and it is probable that the group will remain the rest of this week.

Tokio Aug. 2.-(By the Associated Pressl-There is no indication thaI Iapan will refrain from carrying out
 military arrangements she mas Ilaue ;, daoIing with the problems arising
 ,,,, of conditions in Siberia. The gov comment some time ago outllned 10 the world powers its policy regarolhs Siberia and its forthcoming noIe to Washington will amplify statements it has sent to European capltals- ms note ii is understood here. will point out the purely temporary character of the occupation by Japanese troops
 of noints in the Saghalien district.
 Possible misunderstandines abroad ara apprehended here because Of the fact that the city of NikolaieVsk on the Siberian mainland coast will DC under control of Japanese milftary detachments. Nikolaievsk was former Ix a mart of the administrative district of Primorskaia, which was Tn turn un- der the jurisdiction of the sRusslan maritime province. In lSl4 however the governor of tn maritime province decreed with imperial assent that Nix oraievsl, should be attached to the dis triet of Saghalien which was pre- viousIv restricted to Sagha1ien Island. Since the district is to be placed un- der Japanese control the city will be occupied by troops sent by this coun- try. but it is probable their withdraw al to the island may be necessitated bv the intense cold that prevails along the siberian coast for most of the year.
 Japanese officials have been careful to explain to foreign newspapers cor respondents here that the United states was within her rights in asking Japan to define her policy regarding siberia, as ahe two nations sent troops

Good manners, so the sayin' goes. is allus a defense, against the manners bad enough to give downright offense. A fel- Ter lifts his voice an rails jest like a gutter-rat; you're mere ly lowerin' yourself to talk to chaps like that. A quiet bow, perhaps a smile, a turnin' on your heel-you'll git revenge enough in how that angry cuss will feel. O. course you can't ignore some words-strike from the shoulder, quick; don't ar gue; let the feller feel your fist is like a brick. If you is middlin' big or small there's times when jest a blow will fill the bill for humans whilst we're Twin here below. My ol' pipe says: By some mis- take I've mixed with things that's raw; my smoke has permeated scenes the worst you ever saw. But somehow my ol' dreams held out; they carry scars, 'tis true. but they is only surface marks-dont touch the things that's true.

o'clock (noon) today after llnger-
ing illness. Since his trip to the Re-
publican National convention at Chic
ago to which he was delegate, he
had failed steadily. For the past few
weeks he had been confined to his bed
and his end was not unexpected.
Alexander Dunnett came of Scotch
ancestry, being the son of Andrew
and Christiana (Galbraith) Dunnett,
and was born in Peacham, Nov. 20,
1852. He was educated in the Dub-
lie schools of his native town and
Ryegate and also at the old New
bury Seminary He was graduated
from the Randolph Normal school in
1874 and while at school employed
his winters in teaching at Monroe,
N. H., Topsham, Randolph and
Rochester. Having decided to study
low he entered the Office OF Nelson
l.. Boyden of Randolph, completing
his study of the law in the Boston
University law school which he en-
tered in 1875. At the June term Of
the Orange county court in 1877 he
was admitted to the Vermont bar.
He began the practice of his profess
sion at South Ryegate and came to
st. Johnabury in 1889 where he en-
tered in partnership with Albro F.
Nichols, now the clerk of Caledonia
county. This partnership continued
three years and for the next ten
years he practiced law alone. In 1895
Hon. L. p. Slack entered the firm and
the partnership Of Dunnett and Slack
continued until 1913 when Judge
Slack was APPOINTED to the Vermont
bench. For the next two wears
Charles Leslie, who came back to
Vermont from Hillsboro, n. D., was
associated with Mr.. Dunnett in the
firm of Dunnett & Leslie The latter
left the firm in1915 and was succeed
cd by Charles A. Shields, who with
David 8. Conant compose the -"esent
firm of Dunnett. Shields & Conant.

Women Play Prominent
Part and are Early VOt-
ers at the Polls

Voters of Vermont went to the
polls today in record numbers to
nominate their candidates for State,
Congressional and county Offices. The
cutpouIing Of new women voters
complicated the election machinery
and cast doubts upon the results.
There were few men who would pre-
dict what the result of the various
contests would be, 81 don't even
know, for sure, how nv own wife will
vote" was q declaration frequently
heard.
The outpouring Of women at the
Maine election yesterday was a fair
indication of what will be repeated in
Vermont today. From the very op-
ening of the polls women were prom
inent both at the balloting and be-
hind the rallied fences. Women coun-
scilors We're furnished in most Of
the towns to guide women in marking
theiI ballots.
TIE large addition to the voting
strength OF the State and the many
contests for nominations will make
the results late in being tabulated
tonight. 1t is hoped thatt he results
MAJ be obtained before midnight.
he polls opened in st. Johnsbury
promptly at II o'clock noon. There
were a score of voters in line ready
to cast their ballots. The first wom-
an to vote was Mrs. Luther Jewctt.
The first man to cast his ballot was
Ralph Howes.
The election officers were: Jonas

ballot box and Town Clerk Braley
was a very busy man seeing that ev-
cryone entitled to vote had that op-
portunitT
Considerable interest was shown in
Lyndonville by the new contingent
of women voters as is evidenced by
the registration of about 450 wom-
en-. Many interesting facts came to
light in the course of registration af-
fairs. Mrs, F. J. Blodgett is the first
woman in the town of Lyndon to reg
ister and take the Freeman's oath
which she did several years ago. Miss
Nellie Davis is without doubt the
first woman in this town or any, in
all probability to print. as well as
cast her own ballot.
In Lunenburg 72 women registered
and took the Freeman's Oath last
week This is a good showing as the

Attempt to lnjure Candi-
dacy of Mayor Gardner Is
Quickly Squelched

Considerable OF stir was caused
in local political circles on Monday
when Eber F. Humphrey, manager Of
the Newport News, acting unofficlally
added the name Of Mrs. John Young
to the list of candidates for City rep
resentativc, which was 0laccd in the
window of his store on Main street.
Mayor James T. Gardner, who also
is a candidate for the Office, heard of
this and Immediately went to see
Mrs. Young to determine whether
this was true. Mrs. Young denied
all knowledge of it and said she
could not believe that anyone would
do such thing She thought at
first the mayor was iokin" when he
spoke about it but when she found
he was serious, she gave Nj. Gard
ner signed statement saying that
she was not . candidate and had not
been approached about becoming one.
1t seems too bad to take the name
of such a fine woman as Mrs. Young
and use it in a political controversy.
