cement tax bills so that if these two
measures have failed of passage in
the extra session the tax will be lost
to the state.
Most of the fighting of the extra
session has been over the tax COM
mission question in it's various forms,
the Dixon forces insisting upon some
sort of legislation, while the ants
were as solidly set the other way.
This was brown last Saturday when,
following the defeat OF the tax COM
mission measure in the senate on Fri
day, six bills bearing a tax commits
sion were introduced in the house and
the senate. The original bill had re-
ceived very careful attention in the
senate the members of that body
stripping section after section from
the measure until they had it re-
duced to a bare framework after
which they struck the enacting clause
and then nailed down the skeleton
by vote of % to 25.
Seeing that it would be practically
impossible to get such legislation past
the hostile senate the governor ask
ed for reference of the subject to
the people at the next election, a
suggestion which had in the regular
session been passed by the senate but
killed in the house, and accordingly
both bodies have since passed a mea-
sure and the question will again come
! up at the election in 1922.
1t is still possible that at least one

AUTOMOBILE CHASE
ENDS IN LOOKUP
Springfield Men. in Alteration with
Road Officer, Stopped Here by
Constable Merrill Stark

Four men from Springfield, Mass, in
an automobile and a road manager and
two officers in another car had spirited
road race this morning until Constable
Merrill \. Stark of BrattleborO landed
the four Springfield men in the Elliot
street home for law breakers.
There Sheriff Frank l.. Wellman put
them through a grueling which resulted
in a good story. Early this morning the
four men attempted to pass over a road
in process of being repaired near Ber-
supervising the work, attempted to stop
them and have them go over a detour.
Some hot words were exchanged, and
according to information given out by
the officers here Samuel ii. Buck and
\. II. AIiddlemase got out of the Spring
field car and gave Mr.. Pqrinton a rather
severe beating and then jumped into their
car and drove towards Brattleboro at full
speed.
Mr.. Purinton notified Constable Ed.
Church of Vernon who telephoned Con-
stable Stark to stop Massachusetts car
No. 9J073. saying they had run down and
injured man in Bernardston. Mr.. Pur-
inton and constable and sheriff followed
in their cars in the chase.
Constable Stark tried to stop the men
when they came up through Main street,
but they kept ON until he reached for his
hip pocket as if to draw a gun. Then
they put on the brakes. They were taken
to the police station, but were released
and turned over to the Massachusetts
authorities. since the fight did not come
within the jurisdiction of the state of
Vermont.
The men were on their way to a Yer
mont lake on camping trip.

Prisoner Arrested ON Boot
legging Charges

BOSTON, July "A jury that had de-
liberated 1872 hours today returned a
verdict of manslaughter against Police
man Bernard Steinhauser He was SEN
fenced to six months in the house of cor
rection. The officer killed Louis Quit of
Nedford while he had him under arrest
on a bootlegging charge. He claimed he
drew his revolver to defend himself, but
did not intend to discharge it.
The case was given to the jury ycSter-
day afternoon Judge y. +. Browns
charge was not finished until after the
noon recess.
Attorney Mason. for Steinhauser. in his
argument emphasized the fact that prose
cution witnesses claimed Outfits hands
were up. in surrender He questioned
them why Quit did not actually surren-
der and go along peaceably to the station
with SteinhauSer. and spoke of testimony
to the effect that Quit struggled to get
the liquor bottle from the policeman.
Assistant District Attorney Sheenan
referred to ugly rumors about the case,
which he hoped the jury had not heard.
and stated it to be an unusual thing for a
jury to be selected without a single chal-
lengc. as in the present case. Mr.. Shee-
nan said that the people of Boston want
ed to see Quits ''dastardly murder pun
ished." The charge on which he was
originally arrested, that of bootlegging,
was about as serious as q violation of
minor traffic laws, he argued.
He later mentioned patrolman Owens.
a lower court witness in the case, but who
didn't testify in the present trial. why
isn't Owens here?' he asked. ''He was
willing to go through in the preliminary
hearing, but didn't have the courage to
go through before the jury
