after conducting hearings on compensa-
tion cases in Bellows Falls, Rutland

fered a fractured leg and claims FUR
ther compensation. Hayes fell and
struck his head, sustaining a fracture
of the skull, and was not expected to
live. He recovered from this injury, but
developed troubles which were found
TO be due to two fractured vertebrae.
For this trouble, he was put in plas-
ter cast for a number of weeks and
now wears stiff leather harness TO
keep the vertebrae in position No de-
cision was given in either case at the
time of hearing.
Three cases were set for hearing at

them in Rutland, along with one other
case. The case of Wilson vs.. Barrows
was heard there on Wednesday, Nov.
Q. In this case Mr.. Wilson claims addi-
tional compensation and the question
has been raised as to whether he was
an employe or an independent con-
tractor. He was hauling logs by the
thousand at the time of his injury
when chain on a team behina him
broke and this team and his own slid
down the side of a mountain, inluring
him seriously.

1t Is No Longer Taboo as Automobile
Registration.

More automobile registrations will
be entered for 1922 than for 1921 in
the opinion of w. S. Teachout, who Is
III charge OF this department in the
secretary of states Office. The 1927
figure was 81, lad. For the coming year,
1900 sets Of plates have been ordered
and are on their way. The number oi
operators licenses issued during the
year was 44,935 and 6,504 chauffeur s
licenses were issued. Dealers licenses
were issued to 26l persons. The mum
Der of trucks licensed was 3,467. APP
plication blanks are to be sent oct Dec.
/, and all numbers will be reserved un-
til Jan. l, 1922 After this time, the
motorists will be given numbers ac-
cording to the order in which they ap-
ply. 1t often happens that motorists are
20 eager to secure the number they
ask for that they will drive in con-
siderable distance for the number
plates, arriving before their application
blanks have been received
REQUESTS for certain numbers are
made for many reasons. Among the
numbers asked for are those coinciding
with the year Of birth Of the owner Of
the car, the year Of his wife's birth,
the year of marriage, or the year OF
graduation from college. Other motor
lists want their registration numbers
to coincide with their telephone mum
bcrs or street numbers Numbers read
ing either way are also in demand.
For many years, the number y was
considered a ink and would often be
sent back by the man who received It.
In some years it was not issued at alb.
For the past two years, however, 1T
has been held by the same man, +. l..
Osgood Of Saxtons River, who has ney-
er had an accident To numbers ending
in l3 there has been some objection in
former years.
Some favor the poker hand numbers,
such as four or five identical numerals.
Others apparently think them conspic-
uous and send them back. Sometimes
there come requests for large numbers
OF mixed figures which cannot be cas-
ily read by the village constables
The numbers up to 200 are generally
well taken care of by those who have
held them in former years, Mr.. Teach
out said. Charles Warren of Water
bury has held number | for many
years During the past year, Governor
Hartness' cars carried numbers 5 and
TO-
One Of the most common requests
received is that for the number corre-
spending TO the year Of registration.

BETTY CAMPBELL FOUND.
She Was Member of the FATTY" Ar
buckle Party.

Chicago, Nov. Miss Betty Camp
bell. long sought as an important wit
ness in the Fatty" Arbnckle case, was
found to-day in her home here.
Miss Campbell, 20 years old, said she
was member of the party at which
Virginia Rappe met her death. She de-
MED she had attempted TO hide from
the San Francisco authorities.
II do not believe that Virginia
Rappe was killed by Fatty" or that
he had anything to do with her DEATH =
the girl said.
Il joined the party at 4 o'clock that
afternoon. Virginia, according TO the
prosecution now, was supposed to have
been fatally injured by Fatty" two or
three hours earlier, at that time, lying
in an adjoining room.
Il remained at the party until after
s o'clock that evening.
I'VE drank, danced and played the
phonograph all that time and the
party included the same people who
had been there with Virginia.
"It doesn't seem possible, If Ar
buckle had committed the terrible
crime with which he il now charged.
that the party would have continued
thus. and that the same people who
are now testifying against him should
have remained in IL.
During the entire time I was pres
ent heard not single word from
anybody to indicate that there had been
any trouble Of any kind except two
statements from Arburkle himself.
''Once he explained that he had seE
Virginia out Of the party because she
had become too wild and noisy.
And later, at dinner, he said 20
Semancher: I think you should take
her out Of here ! don't want to be
responsible for her'n
Mrs. belmont came back into the
suite after Sherman left" Miss Camp
ben said, and had several drinks. Il
heard her say nothing about Virginia"
