| branch of the Atlantic & Pacific store
From a small handbag, which lay un-
derneath roll top desk in the hall
leading from the kitchen to the front
door, $27 was stolen. The burglar
gained entrance and made his escape
by way of the cellar, all within a
half hour after Mr.. and Mrs. Water
man had retired.
Not until 1880 o'clock were the
lights of the home extinguished, and
IL was not later than 1880
O'Clock, when Mr. Waterman, who Gus
tomarily locks the cellar door before
going to bed, recalled to mind that he
I'D neglected this duty last night and
arose to do so. The cellar door was
partly open, he discovered, and imme
diately he turned to look for the
handbag, placed not three feet distant
from the door and under the desk near
the wastebasket. The bag was gone,
but this he found in the cellar with

of the desk were bills amounting to
$50 Possibly he did not have time to
make further investigation.
Officer Curtis, taking the place Of
Deputy Chief Gamble, who, in turn,
is performing the duties of Chief Sui
liyan during the day, was notified and,
together with Mr.. Waterman, examined
the surroundings. A cellar window at
the rear of the home had been removed.

been made in a screen window, and the
hook lifted with screw driver or
some sort of pry.

are too high to permit access from
the ground and only by ladder could
entrance be gained there.
A large sum of money is usually car

firing for the night.
Again the police found little nr no

FIGHT FOR CHILD
Being Made in Vermont Supreme Court
in Unusual Case.

Vermont supreme court convened at
$3.50 o'clock this morning when the
arguments in Bennington county
case were taken up, 1t was in regard
to the adoption of Agnes Camp, min
or, who was at one time at least res
ident of Bennington. 1t appears that
Archie and Della Camp lived in Ben
pington with their daughter; that Mrs.
Camp went to an institution, there
to be employed, and later her husband
went to New York state, where he
vas employed; then the mother went
to Springfield, it is claimed, to stop
with her sister and it was while she
was living there that Agnes was adopt
ed by a sister of Mrs. Camp in the pro-
bate district of Windsor, over which
Fl. L. Sheels was judge at that time.
Shortly after Mrs. Camp died and Mr..
Camp returned to Bennington, arriving
there on the day of the funeral, but
not knowing of it, the message having
not reached him. After the funeral he
learned Of the adoption and now he
seeks his child
This case becomes very interesting
in that during the last session of the
legislature one of the arguments made
in favor of changing certain law gov
erning adoption was that the father
could give his child away without the
of the wife, but the legisla-
ture craftsmen could find no case in
court records whether anything of
that nature had taken place and now
comes case where the wife gave the
child away without the knowledge Of
the father, it is claimed. The case was
brought to supreme court, having been
appealed from the probate court in
Bennington district. Collins Graves is
attorney for Mr.. Camp.

BRITISH PUBLIC is
STILL OPTIMISTIC
That Negotiations Will Soon Result in
the Settling of the Coal Miners
Strike,

London, Oct. l9.-Premier LLOYD
George was expected to make declara.
tions to-day at the opening of Parlia.
ment relative to the. coal miners
strike. Laborite members of the House
OF Commons for several days have
been in conference with leaders of the
miners federation and other great la.
Dor organizations and London was
hopeful that they had reached some
decision, which would tend to bring
about solution of questions that
caused the strike.
Great Britain's coal mining industry
has been almost paralyzed by the
strike. Reports of idle pits come from
all coal fields in England, Scotland and
Wales, but thus far in the strike no
disorders have occurred. Sharp autumn
weather prevails over the British Isles
and belief was expressed to-day that
this would have an important bearing
on efforts to end the strike. No an
nouncement so far has been made by
the National Union of Railwaymen
and the transport workers union rel
ative to joining the miners in strik-
ing.
Yesterdays ricting near the official
residence of the premier, in Downing
street, brought the problem of unem-
ployment sharply to the attention OF
the people. Premier Lloyd George has
promised TO bring at once before Par
lament definite plans looking to the
initiation of operations, which may
give relief to men who are out of work
and he told committee, which waited
on him yesterday, that he had pro-
posed similar measures to the Lon
don city council. Details of financing
these undertakings are being studied
and he indicated that the building
trades unions would be asked TO relax
their rules and permit men discharged
from the army to engage in building
houses. which are greatly needed in
this city and throughout England.
Rumors in political quarters to-day
dealt mainly with two suggestions
one that. as the result Of certain pri-
vste discussions Of political leaders
and prominent labor men. the govern
ment and the miners federations
would soon negotiate, the other that
the government was contemplating a
dissolution Of Parliament to test the
opinioh of the nation.
Reports that other bodies Of work
ers are intending to Join the strike
have ceased, for the time being, at any
rate.
Meanwhile the government is re-
ceiying many offers Of help from the
general public Thousands Of men and
women have registered their names as
helpers with the food ministry and the
ministry Of transport. Il was neoes-
sary Yesterday 70 line up the appli- /
