SHOREHAM RESORT CLOSED
BY SELECTMEN AND COURT
Deputy Sheriff and Five Women APP
pear in Municipal Court When
Sleuth Gets the Evidence

On their plea of not guilty to adul-
terry, Henry Ward, deputy sheriff, and
Mrs. Ida Dumas, both OF Shoreham
were bound over in $1,000 for appear
ance during the June term of superior
court. For living in a disorderly house
Miss Mary Newell, also of Shoreham,
was fined 500 with costs OF $3.50,
and placed on probation for six
months, while a similar charge against
a partner of hers, Miss Matilda ST.
monds of St. Johnsbury was mol pross-
ed on her promise to leave the town
as early as possible Monday morning
Both girls are only II years of age.
Mrs. Lucy Newell mother of the re-
spondent Mary, also promised to move
at least 20 miles away from Shoreham
and not to return for two years, as did
Mrs. Ruth Odell and a Mrs. Grimes.
All of the cases were heard before
Judge A. w. Dickens in the Municipal
Court Saturday afternoon.
For several months First Salesman
John Moore of Shoreham and his fell
low members of the Board have tried
to obtain sufficient evidence against
the Grimes and Newell establishment
to bring a conviction. Last week they
decided to enlist the aid of the Burns
Detective Agency of Boston. Wednes-
day evening Robert Rollins, a repre-
of that firm, arrived in Shore
ham and two days later, Friday eve
ning the arrests had been made by
Constable E. A. Burchard on the basis
of the evidence obtained by Mr.. Rol-
Inns. The selectmen are said to have
the numbers of several Middlebury
cars which they would have used if
the girls had contested the charges
against them.
During the hearing of Mrs, Dumas,
it developed that the detective had
perhaps made himself liable to arrest
for thre criminal method he used N his
quest for evidence, Attorneys Ira H.
LaFleur and A. R Sturtevant de-
manded that the court and states at
torney order his arrest but Judge
Dickens and Attorney Stone did not
agree with them. When the case is
brought to trial in county court the
lawyers for the defense are expected
to urge again the arrest of the detec-
tive.

Cuts Pole and Still Sleeps

The telephone company recently
erected a new pole on Chipman Hill to
replace another that had been cut in
half by a sleepy autoist. A large
Hudson touring car had severed the
pole two feet from the ground and the
remainder had been left to hang from
the wires Robert Counter, who op-
crates the Muzzey farm on the Hill,
said that several weeks ago he was
asked to haul the Hudson out Of the
ditch where it had been halted by a
large elm tree. The driver told a
story of falling asleep at the wheel.
When he cut the pole he said that
he thought he had merely bumped
over a stone in the road, and aw6ke
at 6 o'clock in the morning to find his
car against the tree. He was able to
drive away, although the car was dam
aged.

l75,000-MAN ARMY BUDGET MEASURE IS
 PASSED IN SENATE
Big Bill Goes Through In Rec ord Time of Less Than Three Hours and Is Sent to
 Conference
By Associated Press

Washington, February 26.--The
 army appropriation bill, carrying $362, 100000, and providing for an army of an average strength of 145,-
 900 men instead of 150,000 voted by the House for the next fiscal year,
 was passed tonight by the Senate and sent to conference.
 The big army budget went through 1 in record time Of less than three hours opposition to the army increase provisions and the total increase of $31, 900 made over the House bill failing to materialize.
 l Immediately after passage of the army bill, Senator Poindexter, repub- llican, Washington. moved to take up the navy appropriation bill. the last of the appropriation measures before 1 the Senate, but withdrew his motion i len it was announced that an agree ment has been made with leaders by ISenator Borah, republican, Idaho. that ithe naval bill should wait until next Iweek.
 1 ADD PERSHING AMENDMENT In passing the army measure. the Senate added an amendment, requested by General Pershing. providing for promotion to the grade of lieutenant lgeneral of Maj. Gems Hunter Liggett and Robert l.. Bullard who comm and ed tfield armies overseas. Chairman Wads- worth of the military commit ee of lfered the amendment, stating that. the lwar record of the two officers justified this recognition.
 The Senate provisions increasing the i size of the regular army to 175,000 went through with a rush after the Senate had adopted an amendment by Senator Borah limiting army expendi- lures to the total carried in the Sen ate bill and operating to bar any de-- ficiency appropriations later. Senator Wadsworth said he felt sure the incoming administration would keep the army within the 175,000 limit |set by Congress. He explained that
 the army on July 1 would aggregate about 207,o00 men, and that with pros Ipective reductions it would numoer by
 January 21, next. 162.000 men. Among the Senate military committee in. |creases in appropriations adopted was
 an increase from t19.20o.0O0 to s23.-
 100000 for the army air service The
 Senate also adopted the proposed in>
 crease from $1.000. 900 to $2,5O0. 900 for
 vocational education in the regular
 army. and another amendment in:reas. ing from $S50,000 to $5o0o00. the ap-
 propriation for Alaskan roads.
 A committee amendment providing
 for discharge upon request of men in
 the regular army with more than one
 years honorable service also was
 adopted.

By Associated Press

OIdtown, Me-, February 26.--In- dian women of the Penobscot tribe today went on the warpath to ob- tain the rignr to vote in the tribal elections and share in the the conduct of reservation affairs. Already some forward-lOoIing squaws have naiied the suffrage colors to the totem pole with the assertion that grand lady Sachem would make n wiser chief than any brave that ever wove a basket or built a canoe.
 Last night the new woman of m ancient people began rejoicing when they received ruling from Attorney General Shaw that they could go as far as the tribe al- lowed, for the state would remain neutral. He snid tribal suffrage was entirely matter for demo- cratic adjustment. The ruling was in answer to q letter received by the governor from Mrs. Peter NicoIar of Oldtown.

UNDERWOOD URGES SOLID DEMOCRATIC
 ACTION IN SENATE
Minority Leader Believes Some Good Can Be Done By Quick and United Attacks-Wat-
 son Is Enigma
Fly HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Heraid
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, February 26.-(Special)- How wsest to conduct themselves Sen ate democrats will determine in a party caucus March ,.
 l There will be no contest fer spells, as l all members of the party in the Senate have agreed to re-eiect Senator Under l wood leader. There is no rivalry among members for committee assignments. | Each senator however, will discuss the | programme the party should adopt | There is one element. which would ap- 1 pear to operate with the republicans, in I that the republicans might listen to their l individual pleas. There Is another ele- r1ent which wopld fight the republicans all the way, despite the palpable folly of unnecessarily attacking an organiza- | ton with majority of 12
 Senator Underwood, it is learned to- I night, will impress his followers with the necessity of sticking together and thus making up in solidarity for their lack | in numbers.
 UNDERWOOD PLAN
 The republican majority will run over
 us for some time,'' said Senator Under wood tonight. ''But the republican ma jority on account of it's numbers and
 the inability of the several factions to agree, must eventually divide. Then will have arrived the opportunity of the
 democrats. If, when this opportunity comes. we can strike quickly and inn l petuously with every man enthusiastic | in the enterprise, we can give them sev- I eral telling beatings. But if our small minority divides among itself, then, or l course, we can do nothing"
 l There Is little question but that the democrats will agree with their leader | to cooperate with the republicans in constructive legislation, and only oppose
 them when they yield to their natural
 inclination to run counter to the require | ments of the country and the people. | Senator Underwood declared his conyfc- l ton tonight that such programme | is rigidly adhered to, the democrats will not only be able to make a record for | themselves, but will establish a basis on
 which to go to the country and ask for l a return of power in administering the affairs of the nation.
 WATSON IS PUZZLE
 The only new democratic senator who l is causing speculation, both on the part \ of democrats and republicans, is Thomas 1 E. Watson. who will succeed Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia. The republicans believe that. Watson at heart is re- l publican, and will decline to stand hitched when the democrats prepare for battle. Democrats on the other hand, while admitting a belief that Watson will not be a party man in the strictest sense of that term, entertain confidence I that his conduct will result in repub- l lican disappointment.
 l The idea also holds that Mfr. Watson, having advanced in years, will not at tempt to be the firebrand and iconoclast, I the role of which he would have played | in preceding seasons. As a whole, demo ! cratic sentaors expect cooperation on 1 the part of Georgia's new agent.
