Barre City Council Took
No Action on the
Matter

Certain proposed amendments to the
street railway franchise were con
tanned in a letter from II. c. Shurtlef
to the Barre cisy council last eve
ming, which, if granted by the city,
would allow the road to discontinue
service on the Washington street line
in Barre, run its cars not oftener than
hourly on the main line, increase fares
to eight cents within the city limits
and workingmen's tickets to hve
cents, and release the railroad from
paying for any part of paving or
regarding between its rails when the
CITY puts in permanent paving on any
street occupied by the companys
tracks.
The letter was addressed to the
mayor and followed out suggestion
made bv Chancellor S. c. Wilson at
the last hearing on the receivership OF
the road at Montpelier on Sept 10.
However, it contained nothing TO Indi-
cate that it was official or other than
personal communication from Mr..
Shurtleff, who failed to affix his title
of counsel to the receiver or to in
clude any statement to show that the
letter might have been sent at the di-
rection of the receiver. The council
concluded that on the face OF TINS no
official recognition could be given the
communication and for that reason no
action was taken on 1T.
Earle A. Young presented further
material in connection with the request
of the Montpelier 4 Barre Light 4
Power Co. for permission to ground
wires TO water pipes. No action was
taken on the request at last night
meeting.

issued during August according to the

ri to keep a pig at SO North Main

KU KLUX KLAN GAVE
WARNIlNG TO POPULACE
By Parading 800 Strong, Through the
Streets of Shawnee and
Tecumseh, Okla.

Shawnee, Okla, Sept. 2l.-Three
hundred members of the ku klux klan,
in official regalia, paraded through the
main streets of Shawnee and Tecumseh
late last night, after capturing the
night editor of the local newspaper and
taking him on the journey. Nothing
was done other than to display banners
and send a warning to law violators
through the columns of Shawnee
newspaper.
Before allowing the newspaper man
to leave the car in which he was taken
on the trip, the following note was
handed to him, addressed to Shaw
nee newspaper:
I'VE are one thousand strong in
Shawnee Good Americans uphold the
law. Watch the ownership OF your pa
per and keep it in the hands of good
Americans. We will clean Shawnee
when the time is ripe. Bootleggers and
gamblers will save trouble by leaving
now"
In addition TO the warning sent to
the newspaper the following banners
were carried on the sides of the 80 cars
in the parade;
Judges you know your duty-we
are with you when you do it but you
must do it"
Look out if you do not heed these
signs.
Pooling around the other fellows
home is not wise.
Joy riders be careful
Lawyers, make your money off
legitimate cases.

dollar Day. Brought the
Crowd Early and Con-
tinuously
PERSON WITHOUT
BUNDLE A ARARITY
All Barre and Much of Out
side Was 'A-dol-
laring

There's no doubt about it, this was
certainly Dollar day! It's been long
time coming but it's dome arriv" and
that's cinch. Talk about old home
week. For real old fashioned holi-
day there isn't much in the book that
could hold tallow drip to to-day.
Housework around Barre isn't going
to commence until after supper to-
night, the mailman will have TO tuck
letters under the door and the house
to house peddlers are just out OF luck.
Mrs. Barre in all strength is dollar-Ing
and, in large degree, so is Mr.. Barre.
Were the folks all set for the day /!
Wen say as much. Why they literally
took the stores by storm. AT o'clock
this morning, knots of grim faced bar
gain hunters were beginning to collect
in front of the larger stores and when
the smaller places opened their doors
they were swamped.
Proof of the fact that everyone had
planned long and carefully for the day
was seen in the way the folks made
their earlier purchases without any
thought or discussion. "I'll take two of
these. one of those and four of those, =
was the way they'd rattle it off. Then,
when they had their packages they'd
look around leisurely and buy things
which they saw but which they hadn't
particularly planned on. One woman
bought S5 worth of goods in one of the
stores in six words, then, her face
aglow with satisfaction, ambled around
and argue4 and questioned for nearly
Is minutes before making snother pur-
chase of 30 cents.
Anyone downtown without a bundle
under their arm was curiosity this
morning and there were mighty few of
them. Everyone seemed TO have some
thing. Percolators, pans, powder and
percale; cigars, corsets, candy and
combs; shoes, soap. shovels and smok-
ing sets and everything that could be
pushed, pulled, carried or dragged were
taken home by the dollar demons. And
the people from the country outside

Main street looked like Beacon street
in Boston for there wasn't room
enough to park kiddie- kar. Automo-
biles lined the side streets from Wash

and as one left another was right there
to take the vacant place. And every
machine that pulled away carried a
load of bundles and at least one happy
faced woman.
And the little ones Dad their fun
also One of the banks had man on
the job shortly before o'clock, passing
out wooden whistles and by the time
the school bells rang at o the racket
was so loud the grown-ups couldn't

Some of the bargains were cleaned

PROCLAIM REPUBLIC
IN BURGENLAND?
Stephen Friedrich Is Reported to Have
Set Up Near Gov.
ernment

Vienna, Sept, 2l,-Stephen Friedrich,
former Hungarian premier, arrived at
Odenburg, Burgenland, on Monday and
proclaimed West Hungary republic,
il is declared by newspapers here. Bur.
genland was recently in the hands OF
insurgent Hungarian bands, but they
were believed to have withdrawn, for
the most part, as result of represen-
tations by allied authorities. Assertion
is made here, however, that these bands
have been constantly reinforced until
they number nearly 10000 and it is
said they are so well armed and
equipped that it is doubtful if Hun
garian regular soldiers could cope with
them.
Military forces commanded by Fried
rich are reported to be assembling at
Steinamanger and belief is expressed
here that the carlists and the legiti.
msts have joined issue over the Bur
genland question.
