A furry of interest spread over the
audience as the South African dele
gate rose and announced he wished to
sneak on mandates Lord Cecil received
the whole mandate question, during
which he took occasion not only to
criticize the policy of the United
States but also the lack of publicity
permitted by the recent meeting OF
the council of the league.
Regarding the note recently
sentby the states department OF
state. he said that international af
fairs would have been better advanced
had it been received earlier.
"The territories" he said, referring
TO the countries over which mandates
were provided by the covenant Of the
league of nations, must no longer be
left in their present situation, de-
prived of definite status or def
mite government
He said he did not want to appear
TO criticize the United States hut
the mandates should be settled in the

ENGLISH UNEMPLOYED
ARE IN UGLY MOOD
Attack Buildings and Fight With Po-
lice-Windows in a Hundred Shops
in Bristol Smashed

London, Sept. S.-Demonstrations by
the unemployed were held in many
places Yesterday and in several cities
serious disorders were narrowly avert
ed. An ugly spirit was in evidence at
Bristol, where a crowd attacked the
building occupied by the board of guar
dians and clashed with the police. In
the ensuing struggle banners were bro
ken and red flag was captured by the
police. Finally, the gates before the
building were opened and large body
of constables charged upon the crowd,
which was dispersed. Windows in a
hundred shops were smashed by the
manifestents.
Exciting scenes also were witnessed
in Liverpool. After an encounter with
the police, unemployed workers pre-
sented to the council minute ulti-
mstum, threatening that at the expira-
tion of that time they would not be re-
sponsible for the consequences. The
lord mayor subsequently appeared and
assured the leaders in the demonstra
tion that plan would be formulated
for finding work.
One of the most notable demonstra-
tions occurred in Wales, where four
thousand people marched across the
from Abertillery to Trede
gar, distance of II miles. A similar
in Sunderland culminat-
ed in an attempt to force the gates of
the workhouse Failing in this, mem
bers of the crowd entered the Guardi-
ans building, and il was necessary for
the police to eject them.

STOWE FARMER ARRESTED
In Action Brought in Behalf of His
Housekeeper.

Stowe, Sept. s.-Charles Wheeler,
about 80 years of age, was arrested
yesterday at Morrisville, accused of
criminal assault on Anna Williams, a
Scotch girl, who came from Burlington
to be his housekeeper. He was lodged
in the Lamoille county Jail at Hyde
Park His arrest was caused by the
bringing of suit for $4,000 on be
half of the girl, claiming personal dam
ages, and in default of bail Wheeler
was locked up. Following his arrest
last week he had secured bail of 81 600,
pending a hearing in the case.
A hearing last week codld not be
held because of the girls serious condi-
tion. A hearing will be held here on
Saturday, Miss Williams by that time
being expected to be able to testify.
Wheeler has had several housekeep-
ers. Each has left very soon after ar
irving II was learned yesterday that
one left the very day she reached the
farmhouse, and made successful get
away.
Miss Williams, lately arrived in this
country from Scotland, answered an
for housekeeper that
Wheeler inserted The alleged assault
occurred day or two after her arrival.
Virtually she was made a prisoner in
the house, it is said, Wheeler locking
her in when he left the house and
threatening her if she told Oh him. He
is said to have employed knife in
threatening her and her efforts to es-
cape were unsuccessful.
Terrified, she did not know what to
do, and the fact that she was in a
strange place added to her desperate
state of mind The brutality of her
employer is said TO have caused her
frightful suffering and her condition
finally became such that he, alarmed,
summoned DR.. Morgan.
The girl asked the doctor. "For Gods
sake get me out of here" and the
reported the case to the au-
thorities. Wheeler's arrest followed.
The girl was in a very bad condi-
tion and has had To undergo two oper-
ations. She is now improving. Her step
brother, James Devlin of Burlington, as
soon as he heard of the affairs, visited
the authorities and engaged counsel.

SLID OFF HA .5Tow

Father of sx Children
Lived NJ graph San
born, gent Suicide

Chelsea, Sept. s. = What caused
Amasa Button, aged so years, and
prosperous farmer, to kill himself to-
day his friends do not know unless it
was because of depression over i'll health.
They know of no other reason why he
should desire to make away with him
self, He had mot been in good health
for some time. The suicide, coming so
soon after the tragic self destruction
of Ralph Sanborn, who lived in the
same neighborhood on the Washington
road, caused another sensation when it
became noised abroad. Mr. Buttons
place is about mile from this village.
Arising this morning at $3.50, Mr..
Button went out of the house before
the other members of the household
were up, In about an hour Mrs. But
ton went TO the barn to get some milk
and found that her husband had not
MIXED the cows. Thinking that he
might have gone to the pasture, where
he had calf, she went to the pasture
and failed to find him. Shortly after
that, the hired man, desiring a pitch
fork, sent one of the boys up on the
haymow for the implement, and the
little fellow returned with story of
seeing rope about a beam which had
not been there before. So the hired
man went up and found his employers
body suspended from the other end of
the rope, Mr.. Button having slid off
the haymow after placing the rope
about his neck
The authorities in this village were
notified and they ordered the removal
of the body. The man bad been dead
about an hour, it is thought.
Mr.. Button was born in Chelsea 30
years ago and had lived here practical
ly all his life. He was looked upon as
a fairly we'll to do man. being the own
e. of good farm. He was well known
in this vicinity although he had not
been much in public life. He leaves his
wife and six children, the Oldest of
whom is IA and the youngest two
years old. He also has two brothers,
Charles and Frank, who reside in this
town, and another brother in Tun-
bridge.
