Red Cross Needs More
Money for It's Work

The Red Cross drive is tagging.
The committee were frankly dis
appointed at the amount whle a
came in Saturday and Sunday.
The returns this morning are a
little more encouraging, but large
numbers of people who usually
contribute to philanthropic work
have not as yet been heard from.
Many mole subscriptions will be
necessary before sumcient
amount is raised to carry on tms
important work for another year.
Only seventy persons have con-
tributed or pleded so far. These
contributions vary in amount from
81 to 500. One of the committee
stated the present condition of this
campaign as follows: "There'S
nothing the matter with these gifts
or the givers, but where's the rest
of the usually generous contribu-
tors?"
The Caledonian is glad to give
as much publicity as possible to
this campaign in the hope that the
attention of many more of our
people may be called to the present
need of the local Red Cross for
sfficient funds to carry on their
work.
We will publish tomorrow an
additional list of subscribers to
this fund.

GRANGE FAIR
AT WEST BURKE
GREAT SUCCESS
Farm Products of North.
ern Caledonia in Tempt
ing Display

West Burke's first grange fail
was huge success. Saturday was
the day when the Grange1N there
emphasized the town on the map.
The weather was ideal, and the
village, with it's tidy square filled
with people, made a beautiful
landscape picture in its frame of
brilliant autumn foliage, with
Burke Mountain and Willoughby
for a background.
Four oranges competed for the
honor ribbons that were awarded
as prizes, West Burke, East
Burke, East Haven and Newark.
A. d. Fogg and H. F. Thresher
were judges of the live stock
while Supt. G.. A. Jamison and
Burleigh d. Ruggles were selected
to judge the fruits and vegetables,
as it was stated that they were
the only non-grangers left in the
village, and could therefore act
impartially.
The four headquarters for
things during the day were C. Z.
Pierces barn, where the stock was
assembled; the Silsby meadow,
where dinner was served; and
Montgomery's Gem Theatre builu-
ing, where the street floor was
converted into q most attractive
floral hall filed with a display that
for size, variety and excellence
could not be beaten anywhere.
The forenoon program started
with a ball game between East and
West Burke teams. The game
proved a real contest mot only in
the actual playing, but also as to
just what the final score really
was, for some claimed it to be
19 TO IL in favor of the West
Burkers, while others were just as
positive that it was 20 to Ia. How
ever, there was no disposition to
mob the umpire or to stop to send
out of town for high priced play
ers to bolster un either team.
L It ildtN NcSL ulHIltI NdS a NtIll-
able feast. a dollar meal for
twenty-five cents, appetizing and
promptly served. About a ton of
the best Burke home cooking
melted away when the crowd had
a chance at it, like ice on the warm
side of the house in spring.
The boys and girls had a jolly
time, especially the boys, and none
more than w. R. Roundv in his
88th year and William Mcfarland
in his 87th, who saw a whole lot
of things to talk about and al
plenty of friends and acquaint-
anceS to talk to, and thoroughly
enjoyed themselves.

remarkable display of the products
of the farmers, and the attractive
proof of the industry and handi-
work of the housewives of North

SMALL BLAZE
AT COLONIAL
DURING SHOW
Audience Remains Cool
and Makes Quick Exit
From Theatre

The matinee performance OF
"Way Down East" was interrupt
ed Saturday afternoon just after
the intermission by a small fire
which was quickly extinguished by
the department with practically no
damage to the building. In the
meantime the audience emptied
the crowded auditorium in about
five minutes and after the room
had been renovated the perform
ance was concluded.
The fire started in the small
room in the southeast of the
building on the second floor al
rectly under the balcony stairs and
caught from a cigaret carelessly
thrown during the intermission. 1t
was discovered practically simu-
ultaneously by Manager Eastman
and an employe of the moving pic
ture. The latter stobd guard at the
guard at the door of the room to
keep the fire inside the room and.
Mr.. Eastman hastened to notify
the department. Before the fire
men arrived, however, the smoke
had begun to creep into the audi
torium and the audience startet

escapes. There was no manic an(

cal all safely reached the ground
The firemen roped off the street
and gave their attention to the
fire which was more smoke than
blaze. In the meantime Manager
Eastman was renovating the
building and within half an hour
the performance was resumed and
most of the audience had returned.
As the auditorium began to fill
with smoke the orchestra contin-
ued to play to keep the audience
from getting excited and Manager
Eastman assured them that the
fire was extinguished and that
there was no danger.
1t was the first test the fire es-
capes have had since they were in
stalled over Is years ago and the
GOODNESS of the large audience pre-
vented what might have been
serious catastrophe.

VIII be known. Miss Hanan died
of her wounds Sunday without
making any further statement.
The police announced they had
abandoned efforts to clear it up.
Alfred Hanan, brother of Miss
Hanan issued statement, assert
ing that jealously on Mrs. Lawes'
part because of attentions paid
Miss Hanan by John Borland, did
not cause the shooting. He de-
clared that Mrs. Lawes, unbalanc-
ed by drink and drugs, shot his
sister because, at his request, she
had broken off a close friendship
with Mrs. Lawes and he had ord
cred her to leave the Hanan home
where she had lived. He asked
Miss Hanan to break with her, he
said, because Mrs. Lawes had inn
pressed him as irresponsible and
he suspected she had become a
drug addict.
Detectives have learned that a
policeman several weeks ago told
Miss Hanan that Mrs. LaweS in a
taxicab had watched the Hanan
home for three nights and that on
one occasion Mrs. Lawes had
followed her in an automobile.
They said that Miss Hanan had
told her mother and other men,
bers of the family but that her
family decided there was no reason
to believe that Mrs. Lawes would
resort to violence.
The police are convinced that
John H. Borland, the importer,
was in no way connected with the
shooting affair and that he is the
victim of the very unfortunate cir
cumstance of being present when

COL. KEVILLE
CHEERED BY
HIS "BUDDIES'
Newport Gives Royal
Welcome to 1O1st Am
munitiOn Train

The second annual reunion OF
the 1O1st Ammunition Train ofthe
YD division came to a successful
termination with the banquet Sat-
urdav evening at the new Armory,
overlooking beautiful Lake Mem
phremagog, the scene of the hap.
py outing of the 250 "buddieS
during the most of the day.
A boisterous success was the
clambake which preceded the final
assembly of Col. William J. Kew
ville's "gang". 1t was the colonial,
himself, who thus affectionately
termed the 1O1st Ammunition. In
return for which the "buddies"
come back strong and class them
selves as Keville's 1.-TWO Ring Cir
cus".
There was left little doubt in
the minds of the casual onlooker,
regarding the personal popularity
felt by the members of the Train
for their commander. This admi-
ration was evidently mutual for
the Colonel, in concluding his fine
speech Saturday evening at the
banquet said "If there is ever an
other war, and they want me to
serve, l am going to ask for a re-
giment of Vermont boys"
Saturday was large, vital day
in the annals of the 101st Ammu-
milton. In the morning, "buddies"
by the score were packed away in
to automobiles and toted away to
Eagle Point. There Chef Ted
Crosby, prepared a feast of clans,
Holsters, oysters, Irish and sweet
potatoes, corn and all the fiXlngs
that were wont to tickle the palate
of the most fastidious.
Lieut.. P. o. Mayo was in charge
of the outing, and the Lieutenant
saw to it that nothing was lacking

BELFAST is QUIET

BELFAST, Sept. 26-Belfast
was quiet this morning, a halt
dozen shots being the only out
ward indications of the excited
feeling aroused by the disturbance
es of Sunday night in which sew
eral bombs were thrown, three
persons being killed and some two
score wounded. Fears were ex-
pressed, however. that there would
be$action in reprisal for the bomb
throwing and the resulting death
unless the military took measures
to suppress disorderly tendencies.
The military during the morning
was engaged in erecting barbed
wire and sand bag barricades.
Pickets were posted at danger

soldier was shot through the jaw
in East Belfast by one of the
crowd which dispersed after the
shootin, without the culprit hay

FALL BRINGS AN INDUS

NEW YORK, Sept 26-The
close of the summer vacation pc
riod has witnessed increased act;-
vity in nearly every line of indus
try in this section of the country.
Many manufacturing plants which
have been closed all summer have
resumed operations and many
which have been running partial
capacity are putting on additional
help. This is especially true of
textile industries. There is also
a verv great increase in building
activities.
