The plane was a nine-cylinder
Avro machine and was being oper-
ated by H. Wells of Worcester,
who had as a passenger 5. Carl
Carpenter, treasurer of the Rich
ford Savings Bank and Trust COM
pany. They had started from Rich
ford for Worcester and were 1un-
ming at a speed of 100 miles an
hour, at an elevation of 2500 feet,
When, just west Of North Troy vii
1age the engine stalled and the
machine fell to the ground. The
driver attempted to land on a glide
but the machine was going at least
IS miles an hour when it reached
the earth and collided with a stone
wall.
The machine was demolished
past all hope of repair, but strange
as it may seem neithe~ the driver
nor his passenger was seriously in
jured, although of course badly
frightened and considerably shak-
en- up. The driver was thrown at
least fifty feet together with the
seat and part of the machine. MI
Carpenter, who was strapped into
the machine was pulled out of the
RUNS without scratch.

BARNES FAMOUS
HOME BREW
IS ANALYzED
Court Fine Follows Test
Showing 5 IA Percent
Alcohol

For IS or 20 wears C. J. Barnes
of Morgan has guarded the Sc
cret of the ingredients of the
home brew of which he had an in
cxhaustible supply. Now it has
come to light that a barrel of
water, some sugar, yeast dash
of wormwood to give it tang, is
considerably animating if taken in
sufficient quantities. An analysis
by c. F. Whitney, chemist at the
state labratory of hygiene in
Burlington, showed 54 per cent
alcohol, as testified by Mr.. Whit
ney at Mr.. Barnes trial on Satur-
day for possessing and furnish
inging liquors in violation of the
law.
The witnesses did not all agree
as to the color of the beer, So
called by courtesy, but this is
explained by the fact that Nj.
Barnes was said to add day by day
cold tea, coffee DRAWINGS, potato
water, and, in fact, a little of
everything. Each night the barrel
was replcnished with water and
like the man who whlstled al day
and whistled all night, this Won
derful barrel worked all day and
worked all night and was always
ready.
C. J. Barnes, who is 78 years
old was found guilty by d jury Of
II men of having in his possession
Intoxicating liquor.
He was sentenced by Judge W.
NJ, Wright to not less than six
months nor more than one year,
and to pay a fine of $500 and
costs. Judge Wright remitted the
prison sentence and placed him on
probation. He also remittcd 5000
of the fine, leaving 500 and the
costs about $40 as a punishment.
Barnes was given a jury trial
Saturday afternoon on the charge
of possessing and furnishing Ii
quors. The case was prosecuted
by States Attorney A. w. Far
man and the defendant had as
counsel, +. J. Smith and Hubert
S. Pierce. The jury were: Char
les Hamblett, foreman, Charles
Taplin, w. H. Chappell, A. Lee
Cowles, A. S. Drew, c. Il. Ford,
J. g. Gross, c. A. Balrows, r. NJ.
Gilman, c. F. Cutler, O. G. Paige,
f. S. Cooke.
Mr. Barnes who is an old G. A.
K. veteran, and long time resi-
dent Of Morgan or Morgan Center
has been very much in the lime
light for the last few days Last
week he was in court charged
with i'll treating his>bride of one
month. Given a trial before I
jury from Coventry and Irasburg,
he was acquitted.
An innocent looking barrel, iron
hooped. which might have been a
vinegar barrel, but wasn't has
been the cause of his undoing. Mr.

ed the remarkably fine advance
ment they have made under her
competent teaching and their fin

ly and gracefully.
There were 38 numbers on the
program and all were able to do
their parts, except Doris Ioguc
and Ruth Ram, who were unable
to be present on account Of i'll
ness.
An interesting feature of the
program was the scale drill,
when the pupils gave much tech
nical musical knowledge in con-
cert.
The exercises opened with a vo-
cal duet by little Misses Betty
and Claudia Goodrich, who did
their parts in great good humor
and put everyone IN a most en-
ioyable frame Of mind, both au-
dicnce and pupils. A pleasant sur
prise in the program was the pre-
scntation to Mrs. Goodrich OF
handsome bouquet Of pinks, the
presentation being gracefully
done by little Miss Elizabeth Gui-
ter. Nearly every performer
played without notes, and the
whole was much to the credit OF
all concerned.

JUDGE DISQUALIFIED IN
WARD-PETERS CASE
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, June

w II ! l. L 14AlNO, N. E, j ulc .
The grand jury emDanelled to-
day to hear the evidence in the
shooting of Clarence Peters was
discharged when it was pointed out
that the Judge presiding in the case
had been a former attorney of Mr..
Ward. The district attorney decld-
ed to issue an emergency call for
the May grand jury which has not
yet been discharged to hear the evi
dencc.
The entire Ward household, in
cluding Walter S. Ward, his faith
er, George S. Ward and several
neighbors were expected to appear
today before the grand jury in an
effort to get at the facts surround
ing the shooting of Peters on MAJ
Is. This was the second time the
grand jury was called upon to CON
,ider some part of the mysterious
killing which Ward has stated re-
suited from an attemnt by black
mailing gang to eXtort ST. 600
from Walter Ward. Mrs. Beryl
Ward will be the first witness. The
two maids employed in the Ward
household will also testify.
The authorities desire to clear
up the story that James J. Gun
nngham destroyed the possibility
that John Cienzo, under arrest in
Philadelphia, could be the Jackson
in the Ward case Cienzo "was CON
sidered an important witness in the
Ward case. The authorities hope
through the father to learn the mo-
tive that caused Ward to pay $50,
600 and then appeal to his father
while abroad for more monev to
meet the demand of the gang. The
parents of Clarence Peters are ex-
pected from Haverhill, Mass, to-
day to clear up Peters part in the
mystery.

overturned at West Burke, and
two boot-leggars, as a result, spent
the night in Caledonia county jail.
When the driver of the booze
running car lost control of its
locomotion, it overturned at the
end of the small bridge near O. l..
Leonard's harness shop at West
Burke. Only three bottles of the
Y quarts of gin and Scotch whis-
key were smashed when the ma
cninc turned turtle. Deputy
Sheriff O. L. Leonard was soon at
the accident and Immediately
without waiting for the formality
of a warrant placed the men under
arrest. A third, unknown rum
smuggler, escaped. Concerning
the latter neither, of the men
taken into custody will admit any
thing.
Arraigned before Judge Harry
Blodgett in St. Johnsbury NUM-
cipal court this morning, were
Philo Lawyer, 80, of Springfield,
Mass, and Edmond Lawyer Of
Mansonville, p Q. Philo Law
yer pleaded guilty TO the charge
Of transporting the liquor and
stated under oath that he, and no
other person, had anything to do
with the lum-running.
Philo Lawyer is the nephew of
Edmond Lawyer, who is some
what older. The case of the
younger Lawyer was continued for
sentence by Judge Blodgett. 1t
was indicated by the court al
though the penalty was not def
nitely fixed, that Philo Lawyer
would either have to pay the sum
of $500 and cOsts-the minimum
fine for his offense-or else go to
the workhousc at Windsor for a
period not less than four months
nor more than eight. The elderly
Lawyer was not given an opportu
nifty to plead in court this morn
ing.
The younger man told an ap-
parently veracious story to the
authorities. He said that he was
a railroad man employed by the
Boston and Maine at Springfield,
Mass. He has a wife and two
children, aged II and II respec-
lively. He needed money and up
on the advices of those who pro-
fessed to know he decided to make
a trip to the Canadian line and at
tempt to transport a load of booze
through to Massachusetts,. All
would have been auspicious if the
Chandler had not capsized as it
was running through West Burke.
81 did not smuggle the booze
over the line he testified under
oath to Judge Blodgett. He
swore that At the Canadian line
customs offici4ls had examined the
Chandler and found that at that
time it contained no intoxicating
liquors. The authorities were in
clincd to accept as truthful the
very frank and unadorned story
of the young Mr.. Lawyer.
Federal authorities at Newport
Immediately telephoned States At
torncy James B. Campbell today
with the request that the men be
detained until heir arrival. 1t is
possible that federal charges of
smuggling the liquors across the
international border may be pre-
fcrred against the men although
there is no evidence that they did.

COTTON MILLS
REOPEN WITH
FEW WORKERS

MANCHESTER, N. H., June )
Striking textile operatives held
most of their strength in the five
Gotten mills that opened their
gates today for the first time in
nearly four months. In all the
plants reporting for work under
the 20 per cent wage cut and the
54-nour a week schedule there
were only a small proportion of
the normal number of workers
present.
The Pacific mills at Dover had
to close their doors again when
the few operatives who went to
work walked out. The Coolidge
mill of the Amoskeag corporation
had the largest number of work
ers, but the group was so small
that the textile leaders of the
strike said the plant could not
continue to operate.
Wo men arrested at the COOL
idge mill for melting to riot were
subsequently discharged. The
courts injunction against picket
ing did not deter the strikers at
Nashua for making a show of
strength outside the mills. At the
Nashua and Jackson mills at
Nashua the number who reported
for work Monday morning was
only slightly over the clerical and
maintenance employees who have
been at work all the time.
The Great Falls mills at Som
ersworth had very small re-
sponse when they opened their
gates. The mills at Suncook and
Newmarket did not attempt to
open their gates.
