DIVORCE CASE
WITNESS CHARGED
WITH PERJURY
Fred r. Phelps Must Ans
wer to Serious
Charge

Testimony in the Henderson
and Phelps divorce cases that have
been on trial in CALEDONIA county
court closed Friday forenoon.
There have been some sensation
al developments and surprises but
probably the most surprised man
in the court room was Fred K.
Phelps. He is contesting the di-
vorce brought by his wife on the
ground of adultery. He is willing
to admit failure to support.
After Phelps had finished his
evidence Friday Judge Wilson in
structed States Attorney Camp
bell to file an information against
him for perjury and ordered his
attorneys to keep him within the
jurisdiction of the court until the
necessary papers were made out
and served.
The divorce case brought by
Mrs. Phelps against him was heard
June 10. AT that time Mrs. Jo-
sephine Henderson, who since last
December has been keeping house
for him at Lyndon Center was
named as correspondent.
Later in the term when Mrs.
Henderson's case for divorce
against her husband George w.
Henderson, was begun, the court
began to see a connection between
the two cases, and there develop
ed the hearing, practically of both
case, that has been in progress
the past few days. Mrs. Hender-
son is suing for refusal to support.
The court is considering the evl-
dence presented in the two cases,
but has not yet announced its de-

"COMPLETE FABRICATION"
DECLARES PREMIER

LONDON, July 29-Premie,
Lloyd George in the House Of
Commons today read a statement,
authorized by King George, de-
claring words attributed to the
king concerning the government 5
Irish policy in a reported interview
in the United States bv Lord
Northcliffe, who controls the Lon
don Times, are "a complete fab
rication."
WASHINGTON, July 20
"Good Lord! And they talk about
'us having peanut politics in Am
erica!"
This expresses the view Of Off
cial Washington on the incident
Of the calling off of all official rec
ognition of Lord Northcliffe by
the British Embassy as a sequel
to his row with Premier Lloyd
George and Foreign Secretary
Curzon, the first manifestation of
which was the barring of represen-
tatives of the Northcliffe news
papers from the condolences Of
the British officials.
There was to be a great dinner
at the British Embassy tonight to
which all the members of the Cab
met and various other distinguish
ed citizens were bidGen to meet
Lord Northcliffe.

come from police officers and the
probation officers. He said it was
the practice to take all facts that
appeared in evidence and he could
not say that he was very much in
fiuenced bv the district attorney.
Judge Cox was asked in detail
about the disposition of certain
cases which were mentioned in the
attorney generals specifications.
Some of these he remembered.
Others he was unable to recall.
He said he had noticed no in
stances of mal-feasance on the
part of Mr.. Tufts.

CAN BOOZE
BE- SOLD ON
LAKE STEAMER?
Dist. Atty. Bullard Inves-
tigating Conditions On
Lake MemphremagOg

Whether or not the little steam
er plying on Lake Memphremagog
shall be allowed to continue to
operate bar on the Canadian part
of the lake, seal it up and go to
Newport for cargo of the thirsty
who wish to snake the shackles OF
the Volstead Act, is being thor
oughly investigated bv District At
torney Bullard and other federal
officers, says the Burlington
|. News.
During the summer the steamer
which is owned in Canada, has
made two trips day to Newport.
It would load up with passengers
and go northward Oh the lake. AS
soon as the international boundary
line between United States and
Canada was crossed the bar would
be opened as the boat carries
Canadian license The passengers
could have etything thcJ liked
over the bar and after getting
loaded up with liquor, would re-
turn to Newport. On crossing the
line the customs officers would seal
up the bar and no goods would be
sold in the United States.
The government is raising the
question as to whether a recent de-
cision of the attorney general of
the United States will affect the
liquor traffic on Lake Memphrema-
Sgog and whether or not a bar, op-
Grated in Canadian waters can be
closed at the oundary ard the
liquor and boat be protected from
seizure in the United States under
the Volstead Act.
The attorney general has ruled
that all goods of an intoxicating
nature on a boat shall be classed
as sea stores and sealed at the
crossing of the three mile limit.
Under the law which has existed
for many years all territory on the
ocean within three mile limit
shall be considered part of the
territory Of the country which it
adtoins.
Whether or not this will apply
to the lake is questionable. The
lake is considered public water. If
the three mile limit law effects the
lake the boat will go out of COM
mission in all likelihood for the

into Canada as practically all of

Two men on the farm of Geo. B.
linn, two miles east OF Charles Town,
claim. the corn-husking championship
OF the county. They are Amos Cub
bage and Russell Boyd, who together
shucked out Thursday Of last week
35A barrels OF corn. In measuring
the output for the day, it was disclos-
ed that Mr. Cubbage had shucked 1877
barrels and Mr.. Boyd Tx barrels.
Both men maintain that the former is
the most rapid shucker in the county
while the latter comes next to him in
output. They are willing to wager
500 that no two men can take the title
from them. Mr.. Cubbage offers to
shuck 20 barrels of corn between 10 a
m. and p. m. if anyone is willing to
put up the above amount that il cannot
be done. All would-be champions are
invited to the linn farm to try conclus-
sions with one or both of them.-Ad-
vocate.

Active participation in temperance

costly to Rev. R. J. Ridgely, near
Myersville,, Md. Last week his orch
ard Of fruit-bearing apple trees was
bodily chopped down. He awoke to
lind every tree stump, and no clue
TO the Identify of the choppers. This
is new form Of revenge in that Sec
ton. Occasionally letters threatening
property damage and bodily injury

ing permission, but it is the first time so
extensive damage has been done.
