'HARTINESS NOMINEE FOR
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
IS REJECTED BY SENATE
CITY CLERK CONTEST
ATTRACTING VOTERS
Important Nomination to Be Made at
Barre City Caucus To-
nights

The city caucus in Barre tonight for
the purpose of naming candidates FOL
the March election will have its chief
interest in the contest for the nomi.
nation for city clerk and treasurer to
fill the place of James Maclkay, who
has decided to retire after Is years
service. There are four candidates in
the field for the nomination, being as
follows and named in the order OF their
announcements, II. w. Scott, james
Smart, James r. Mackay and Robert
b. Mackie.
All of the four have their staunch
supporters and it is probable that a
considerable proportion of the voters
will be assembled, as the importance
of the nomination is realized. Most OF
the campaigning has been done quiet
ly so that the alignment of the vot-
ers is matter of conjecture. 1t seems
certain, however, that the winner OF
the nomination will not have a walk
over by any means.
Other nominees TO be named are for
mayor. first constable, second consta-
bic, three directors of French's Barre
library, three auditors, all of whom
shall serve for one year and one as
SCISSOR to serve for three years.

In City of Rosaria, Argentina, Where
General Strike Has Been Called.

Buenos Aires, Feb. 9.--Labor troubles
in the city of Rosario have assumed
threatening proportions and serious
outbreak is feared by authorities
there. A general strike has been called,
and many uaions have summoned their
men to quit work in sympathy with
striking municipal employees, or have
presented their own demands for wage
increases. The number of discontented
unemployed persons is growing daily.
Troops have been posted about
branches of the Argentine National
bank and the police have arrested many
strikers accused of attempting to in
huence young soldiers to desert or to
pledge themselves not TO assist in sup
pressing strike disorders. Printers
have quit work, causing a suspension
of newspapers, and electrical workers
threaten TO walk out to-morrow. There
is a food scarcity in the city and ice
production is limited, entailing hard
ships for the people on account OF the
intense summer heat.

FOR SIX HOURS
Before Philadelphia Offl-
GERS Got Negro Who
Murdered Woman

Philadelphia, Feb. l0-A siX-hour
battle o-day between negro, who had
shot and killed woman in the house
where he was living, and nearly hun,
dred policemen and tiremen resulted
in the capture of the man seriously
wounded and the injuring OF four
policemen. Pistols, axes, high pressure
fire hose, sulphur candles and other
chemicals were used against the negro
who had barricaded himself in the
house.
William Dresden, alias Alabama
joe shot Grace Robinson, negress,
and threw her body out of the house.
A negro policeman attempted to ar
rest him and was shot in the leg. Re
serves were sent for and when they
attempted to break into the house the
negro appeared with two pistols and
wounded another policeman in the
head.
Dresden barricaded the doors and
the police called upon the fire depart
ment for assistance. a high pressure
hose was kept in operation and every
time the negro appeared at window
he was driven back by rush OF water
but not before he managed to fire sew
eral shots.
Two other patrolmen were injured.
The beseigers resorted to strategy
and employed sulphur candles and
chemicals from hospital to drive
Dresden out. The negro, however, kept
the windows open and this mode of at
tack failed
Finally Richard Anderson. negro
of the police vice squad, got
into the house unseen by the barri-
caded man and the two met at stair
way. There was fusilade of shots
and Alabama Joe" tumbled to the
bottom OF the stairs Anderson was
not hurt. Six policemen seized the
negro and an examination at
the hospital showed he had been shot
six times
