At Washington

At Washington
Fifteen thousand bills are usual
ly introduced during the life of a
Congress and less than 800 at most,
generally pass, according to Gray
Silver. Washington Representative
of the American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON Mr.. Silver, as representa-
tive of the American farmer has ac-
complished wonderful things in the
past year. Telling of his work Mr..
Silver says:
1T is evident that the chances Of
any individual bill getting through
congress without special support
dnd help are remote. In fact, Con-
gress takes pretty much the attitude
that 1t is not much interested in any
proposition which is not sufficiently
agitated to be brought forcibly to
its attention. It proceeds upon the
theory that the cry of any crying"
need will be heard and, vice versa,
~ IL 10 lfOt ucdiu INC uccu 10 hOI d

$50 you will find on the walls Of
my Office at Washington a big bull
letting board on which is listed each
bill in which Agriculture is inter-
ested. Following the names of each
bill is a record of its progress to
date. The date of introduction, &C
ton or lack Of action of committee
to which it was referred, votes on
the floor il any, and various other
important points referring to the
bills progress.
1--WE keep a careful record of
each congressman's position and
vote on each question of Importance
to agriculture. This record in
cludes not merely his vote on the
floor which may or may not be in
dicative, but his known attitude as
we'll. The Congressional Record
doesn't show it all by a good deal. |
Every two years a considerable por-
ton of these men must come before |
the people of their districts for re-
election. We believe it to be our /
plain duty to make the records of |
these men known to our members |
at that time. If man has shown
broad and fair understanding of |
agricultural affairs we believe that
fact should be placed before the
voters and If on the other hand he
has failed to grasp the importance of
agriculture and to show a fair re-
gard for its needs, then our men,
bers have right to know that fact,
too, we believe. This record will
be memory logger that no congress
man can afford to ignore.
But we never have occasion to
take congressman by the lapel of
the coat and ask him around the
corner to whisper dark secrets into
his ear. We never have need for
secret meetings because we have
no secret deals to pull off. Ours is
an "open covenant openly arrived
at" il ever there was one.
by proper organization and CO.
ordination of efforts we can carry
on such a campaign of ideas and
information as to win Congress to
the support of those principles es- !,
sential to the adequate development
Of agriculture which-as all must
one day realize-are therefore es-
,ential to the permanent and high
sst development of the Nation"

FAIL TO LOCATE
 PHILIP VANGEL
Police Search For Man Who Made Escape From Cell al
 Putnam Jail
Mystery Surrounds His Succeeding In
 Getting Out of "Ceoler"

Neither the police of Putnam nor neighboring places have found any trace of Philip Nangel, who escaped Tuesday noon from cell ss the Put nam police headquarters and subse quently made his way out Of the city. When discovery was made of Nangefs getaway, he had about an hours start on the police. and though search was immediately made for him, he was not located and up-to-date his where abouts are unknown.
 Vangel was arrested Tuesday fore noon by Captain of Police Bulger. while he was at bis place of employ ment, the sheeshine stand al the Put nam depot. The warrant under which he was taken into custody charged vangel with reputation and with sell ing liquor The police allege he sold moonshine.
 lie was taken to the police station and placed in Cell No. |. The door of the cell was thrown closed as usual. with ample force to cause the lock to catch. Afterward Captain of Police Bulger went to dinner. ft was dur ing this time that yngsl succeeded in opening the door of his ceh and making his way out of the station. proceeded to St. onge's store on Providence street, where he used a telephone to summon public service car. Carl Anderson soon arrived at the store and with Nangel set out for SouthbridRe.
 Now. Vangel and Anderson, both being at the railroad depot much of the day on account of their respective employment, were good friends, and thus it was that Vangel eonfded in Anderson, that he had just escaped from cell at the police station and was trying to put as many miles as possible between himself and the Put nam polxe He declared to Anoer- son that he gave his cell door the huskiest push he was able to. and that it flew open Thus he accounts for l the manner of his escape.
 Upon hearing that his companion was literally a fugitive from justice, Anderson immediately took action Co sever what innocent connections and responsibility he had established by carrying Vangel from the city in his ear. VangeFs refusal Co return to the city met with demand to get out of the car He did, at point ir North Woodstock on the Southbridge road
 Anderson returned To Putnam and immediately told Captain Bulger what he knew had happened. The captain lost no time in starting out on a search for Vangel. and though he cov- cred both the roads Co Southbridge through Quinebaug and North Wood stock. no trace of the man was found. The police of neighboring towns and cities were asked to be on the lookout for Nangel
 Though t is quite a mystery. Van gel Is thought to have been able to make his escape from his cell, be- cause the lock did not catch when the door was slammed closed No cell door Is known to have acted so before, but if it is true that it hew open when Vangel gave it a strong push, then the lock could not have caught. Is the gen eral supposition.

Court Find. No Grounds For Com.
 plAints af Plaintiff

In decision handed down wednes, day by Judge William l. Malthle, in the Superior court case of Dr. James |p. Mckenna of Providence VI. John W. whipple. l.. Allen Ayerill of Put nam. and Sergt. William Lizard of the Putnam police department. Dr. Me kenna loses his case. judgment being awarded the defendants Dr. Me Kenna sued fer s6e.o0 damages on grounds of malicious prosecution and false imprisonment. the action grow. ing out of his arrest In Putnam last March following an automobile aeei. dent between the automobiles of Dr. MeKenna and Mr Whipple
 In his decision Judge Maithie states:
 "As 10 Liard. t is enough to say that he was clearly acting honestly and in a sincere effort Co perform his duty as a police officer and that he is not in any way to be charged with malice. Az to Wh.fPle aad ASeriii, am satisfied that they had probable cause to believe from the circumstance es known to them before any steps were taken towards the prosecution of the plaintiff. that at the time Of the accident he was under the infiu. ence of liquor. and as he was then op- erating a motor vehicle there WAS n sufficient basin for making criminal complaint against him. the plaintiff has no case as regards this ground of complaint
 "The charge of false imprisonment stands upon a different ground. Here the actual imprisonment was by Liard and for it whipple and Averiil are responsible only as they instigaied or melted it; if tine act of Lizard was jus tified, then they are also justified. The statute does not authorize an officer to arrest without warrant on the speedy information of others any person for any ofense in his jurisdie ton. It Is obvious that the real req son for the arrest of the plaintiff was the complaint made to Lisrd by Whip ple. that the plaintiff had been oper. ating his motor. vehicle while under the influence of liquor. Lizard had ne reason to question the good faith of that complaint, and SO far as the con dition of the plaintiff when arrested might throw light upon the truth of #, whether it WAS from nerviousness, eX- citement or other cause. it would have confirmed the belief of any reasonable man that the complaint was well founded If an officer has any req son to question the good faith of | complaint made to him, finds 1t to be subsequently, by the facts within his own field of observation. and honestly acts upon Il, | think he Is within the protection of the statute. That was the situation here. Judgment for the defendants. Maltbie. J.
