moved Shoes and Stockings and Swan
Brook to Avoid Capture.
Three young men from Keene, \. H.,
engaged in fisticuffs here yesterday
afternoon, which caused a busy afternoon
for the sheriff's and police departments,
created business for the municipal court
this morning and resulted in House of
Correction sentences, two getting not less
than five months and one not less than
four months, all for disturbance of the
peace.
William Crowley was given the lighter
sentence as his oeffsne was not as aggra-
waited as were the offenses of his compan-
ions. He was with Austin Hines and
John Donovan, by whom he was knocked
out on the railroad track in the rear of
Main street stores.
In a statement to Judge F. ID. f.
Stowe. States Attorney Harold f. Whit
ney said the three young men got into a
fight in the alley off Main street near
the Twin State Gas < Electric Co. S
Office that Crowley and Hines climbed the
fence at the alley and went down the
railroad bank. while Donovan went to the
railroad by way of Main and Arch streets.
Another fight took place on the tracks
and Crowley was knocked down and was
left with his face bleeding. From this
point the chase by officers began.
I Sheriff Frank l.. Wellman was in
Streeter's restaurant when a woman
came in and said there had been a fight.
The officer traced the men to the railroad
where he found Crowley, whom he took
to the police station. He and States At

CHICAGO, March 28.-A United
States railroad labor board today dis
missed appeals for increased wages filed
with it last fall by - railway labor
unions against 81 short lines throughout
the country.
The short lines, which accepted for
their men the terms of the $600,000,00O
wagc-award of last July, will not be priVi-
legged to go back to the old scale under
today's action. however, the announce
ment of the board saying: This decision
shall not be considered Is affecting any
wage increase now in effect nor any agree
ment regarding wages between any OF the
carriers and their employees The de
cision affects approximately 1000 en-
plOyeS.
The railroads involved are in general
remote from large cities and provide ser
vice for small communities located in
nearly every state. Because of the vari-
Gus kinds of work performed by the EN-
plOyes, the board declared it 'impractic-
able to decide on the evidence submitted
what are reasonable wages for the vary
ing work under infinitely varying cOndi-
tions."
The decision says that there are under
consideration by the board several hun
dred grievances which should be deter
mined by the boards of adjustment, if
such boards are in existence.

Shippers Should Attend.
MONTPELIER. March 2S.-A meet
ing which is of great Importance to the
shippers of Vermont will be held in the
reception room of the state house to-
morrow afternoon and to which every
shipper concerned in the proposed ad-
vance of 10 per cent in freight rates
should make n special effort to attend, ac-
cording to ii. J. Jones of Montpelier. who
is a member of the citizens committee
named a few weeks ago by Governor
Hartness for the purpose of ascertaining
what can be done to improve the railroad
conditions of Vermont.
Notice of the meeting was recently
sent from the governors Office, but thus
far little Importance has been attached
to it in spite Of the fact that the commits
sion, composed of Robert McCaulley,
Mr.. Jones, J. +. Dewey, Quechec !;
Harry II. Carr. st. Johnsbury, and r. c..
Edison. Proctor, are to go to Boston the
day following. where they will meet with
similar commissions from the other New
England states.
The members of the commission desire
to carry with them all dhe information
they can secure as to the sentiment in
Vermont against the increase in rates.
1t is generally expected there is great
deal of such sentiment in the state.
The increase in the rates Will mean
much to every shipper in Vermont and
unless the members of the commission are
reinforced with an abundance of informa-
ti0n as to the needs in the several parts
of the state. their efforts in Boston will
not carry with them the weight which the
subject demands.

SPECULATION OVER
JOHN w. TITCOMB
Former Fish and Game Commissioner in
State Past Few Days and Is Said
to Have Visited Governor.
Especial to The Reformer.)


MONTPELIER, March %.
Senator's and representatives return
ing to the capital city today have dis
cusscd the probabilities concerning the
appointment of somebody for state
fish and game commissioner to succeed
Linus Leayens.
Former Commissioner John w. Tit
comb has been in the state the past
few days and is said to have visited
Gov James Hartness, and this fact
has caused some speculation as to
whether the governor was trying to get
Mr.. Iitcomb to return to his former po-
stion in Vermont. which he gave up
two years ago to take a similar position
with the New York state fish and game
department
Gov. Hartness nominated Capt. Har-
old p. Sheldon of Fair Haven for fish
and game commissioner early in Feb
ruary, but the senate refused to con-
firm the nomination. After that it was
! thought Mr.. Leavens might be allowed
to retain the office, and he appointed his
county wardens, but recently the rumor
has been current that the governor
would again send in the name of Capt
Sheldon

With about 30 bills undisposed of, and

BONNERS LOSES
TO STANDPOINT

The Boomers Ferry high schol team
suffered defeat at the hands of the
Standpoint basket ball team on the
Standpoint floor Friday evening be-
fore the largest crowd assembled in
the Standpoint gymnasium this season.
The score was 31-23.
The game was very fast and free
from rough playing and fairly ref
creed by Coach Taylor of the North
Central high of Spokane. Before two
minutes Of play Standpoint led by a
score of 8 and the first half ended
with Standpoint points in the lead.
Standpoint maintained this lead until
the end of the game, winning by an
S-point margin. This victory over the
Bonners Ferry team is the first in
four years by the Standpoint team
The team work of the Boomers team
much excelled that of Standpoint and
the ball was in the hands of the local
team large majority of the time. Bon
ners' throws for a basket outnumbered
Sandpoint's 2 to 1, but the shooting
of the local forwards was anything but
good, missing shot after shot, only
to lose the ball to the taller Standpoint
players
The Standpoint team was not the
team that played here a few weeks
ago but a much stronger organiza-
ton, having two men on their team
who did not make their trip east.
The outstanding star of the game
was Homer Welch whose scrappy de-
fensive work was worthy of much
credit He was in the game from the
start and when the ball was in his
territory he was always covering 1t.
Twitchell's playing was also good.
He played the whole game with his
head all bandaged up.
