Police officials on both sides OF the
Connecticut river, In the towns OF
Hartford on the Vermont side, and
Lebanon on the New Hampshire side,
are cooperating in the matter OF en-
forcing automobile laws, and in over
coming reckless driving. In view of
the heavy traffic between the two
states at this point and the case with
which violators can pass from one
side OF the river to the other, this CO.
operation OF officials is necessary,
authorities say.
Following the automobile accident
OF July 25, near Lebanon. n. H., in
which Selectman D. II. Foster OF
Lebanon was injured. and Mrs Ellen
Flanders, mother OF Earl II. Flan'
ders, manager OF the Everett-Norfolk

all police officials under their juris'
dctlon to start general cleanup OF

This order has, OF course, extended
to West Lebanon. Just across the

LONGE CASE TO GO
TO SUPREME COURT
M7n Serving Life Term for Murder
OF Owen Hayes Wants
New Trial

Rutland Aug. 4.-That Peter Longe,
who was found guilty by jury at the
March term of Rutland County court
and sentenced TO life imprisonment at
hard labor in the states prison at
Windsor for the murder of Owen
Hayes OF Fair Haven, still believes
the verdict unjust. is evidenced by the
filing with County Clerk George n
Harman OF bill of exceptions where
by the case will be taken to the Yer
mont Supreme court. Attorney VII
lam II. Pre- iton OF Fair Haven is
counsei for Longe
The bill OF exceptions covers about
nine pages Of single spaced typewrit-
ten copy and is made up mostly Of
important testimony given at the
trial.
One Of the principal reasons for
another trial is based on the testimony
given by Drs. Whitney and Stone OF
the state laboratory to the effect that
owen Hayes died from drowning.
Another important claim OF the re.
spondent's attorney Is that no eviden-
ce was introduced during the trial
that warranted rendering a verdict OF
murder in the second degree, Attor-
ney Preston's contention is that II the
jury found that Longe killed Hayes
and comm tied robbery the verdict
should have been in the first degree
and II the jury failed to establish that
fact his client should have been de-
clared not guilty.
The respondent also flies exceptions
to much OF the other evidence that
was admitted by the court relative to
conversations that took place in the
Berwick hotel between the respon'
dent. his daughter, Madeline Longe,
will be argued In Montpelier at the
October term OF the Supreme court.
Attorney General Frank c. Archibald
of Manchester and States Attorney,
Charles II. Novak, will represent the
state.

LOWER COLLAR PRICES
Second Price Cut Since War An

Troy, Aug, 5.-Following the an
nouncement of a reduction Of 20 cents
per dozen in the wholesale price OF
mems collars, both laundered and
soft, by Cluett, Peabody G. Co, the
United Shirt & Collar company.
Van zandt, Jacobs & CO., and George
p. Ide & Co, have announced simi-
lar reduction from $40 a dozen to
$3.50, effective Immediately. .o
This is the second reduction In coli
lar prices since the war, the FIRST be-
ing on June 20, 1920, when the price
was cut from s2,4O to $21O a dozen.
While the present reduction Will
not bring the price of collars back to
the pre-war level, It will probably
mean that ordinary collars will retail
at two for 80 cents.
