What promises to be a clue to the
murder Of Ella May Huliing Jones,
the pretty 26-year-old Alexandria

bearing a Southern postmark.

girl that was not reciprocated.
The man. whose name the police
withhold at this time, came to
Washington last summer. during
which time he is said to have paid
marked attention to the murdered
girl.

Statistics of Red Cross Work with Re-
pect to Medical Claims Time Elk.
pires August .,

AS the day-Aug. 9-approachcs on
which all claims for disability by eX-
service men must be in Burlington it is
interesting to note the statistics of what
the Red Cross has done for such men in
.Windham county. the information hay
ing been compiled in the hope that those
who have not yet filed n claim may be
led to do so before it is too late.
The Red Cross of the county stands
ready to advise or assist any eX-scrvice
man who will call at the Red Cross head
quarters in the federal building, Brattle-
bOro. at once.
During the past 16 months approx
mately 400 boys have been found in
Windham county who. have needed some
assistance and of that number 1S3 have
filed medical claims with the United
States Veterans Bureau. All the boys
have received some medical treatment
and II large number have received hospi-
tai treatment. Ten out of % mental
cases are receiving permanent hospital
treatment. Sxty-two of the boys are
drawing compensation and 10 are TAX
ing vocational training.
Out of the 49, boys having medical
claims 81 are suffering from throat and
chest trouble. 36 having tuberculosis and
II chronic bronchitis 10 are suffering
from wounds. II with stomach trouble,
II with rheumatism, 10 have bad hearts
and 40 are suffering from miscellaneous
disabilities
In addition to these medical claims 63
boys have applied for dental treatment,
many of them pending action for work
TO be done: IS have applied for state and
federal honors. 25 for Victory medals,
and nine for discharge certificates.
Through the county chapter of the Red
Cross the families of over % ex-service
men have been aided financially or other
wise, eight of them being families of boys
who died in service. Assistance has been
given in AZ cases where boys are living
outside the county and needed affidavits
or other information. -,
1t is hoped that this information will
be received by every ex-service man who
reads it as a warning and as an urgent
appcal to prevent future loss by letting
the Red Cross know at once if he has the
slightest disability which may cause trou-

Authority Given for Building on
Vernon Street
Town Will Turn Over Appropriation
Sum Of $4,000 Has Been Awaiting
Building Of New Station Several Years.


Definite assurance that Brattleboro is
to have a new freight house has just
been received from Chief Engineer L.

Chamber of Commerce. 1t is to be for
the joint use of the Central Vermont
and Boston & Maine railroads and will
be located on the westerly side of the
tracks, whereas the present station is
east of the tracks.
The location on Vernon street will do
away with the necessity of crossing the
tracks on Bridge street in order to
reach the freight yard, so far as it af-
fccts the bulk of the freight business,
and will eliminate. to the same extent,
the haul up the grade from the yard to
the Vernon street level
When the railroad improvements were
contemplated some years ago the town
appropriated $4,000 toward the work,
and the contract between the railroads
and the town railroad committee, of
which l.. r.. Holden is chairman, called
for its payment on the establishment OF
II freight house on the Vernon street
level west of the tracks. The money
has been at the Peoples National bank
awaiting the fulGl!mcnt of the contract
by the railroads, and it is referred. to
successful in securing authorization to
build the freight station through the CO.
operation of President Hopkins and the
selcctmen, who agreed that the funds
would be paid.
