FIREFOR RESCUE
Sam williamson Had Difficulty
Giving Alarm. Being Cut OFF
By Flames

While, Americas slept, at o'clock
Tuesday morning fire invaded the
two story home on Jackson street, OPP
posite the Presbyterian church, of
Mrs. Pat Williams, crept up the stair
way and drove Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Hanson and their son, who occupied
rooms there, onto a back porch,
where they stood for 25 minutes, Mr..
Williamson said, before rescue came.
According to Mr.. Williamson, their
son was awakened by the odor of
smoke and called him. He opened the
door to the room into the hall and
was greeted by flame coming up the
stairway, which had them cut off. Mr.
Williamson yelled fire and made as
much noise as possible, but it was ten
minutes, he says, before he could get
even sleep response. Finally some
one called the fire department by
phone, but gave no location and the
fremen spent some time racing about
town trying to find the blaze, which
had not yet broken out. Finally they
found the place and rescued the Will
liamsons from the back porch by
ladder.
All others in the house escaped
through windows or otherwise with
out aid. Robt. Hawkins emerged in
his night clothing, losing all his be-
longings in the room and having to
find friend for temporary replenish-
ment of his wardrobe. The William
sons lost much bed clothing and other
possessions stored in the house, as
well as most of their clothing. The
house was badly damaged on the in
terror.

SHINE RECORD
INN. ". GEORGIA
u. S. Marshall Says IL Has More
Distilling Than Any Other
3 or 4 States

ATLANTA, May PIT. will re-
quire two years for the third United
States judge, proposed for Georgia,
to clear up the congested docket in
the northern district, and rs per cent
of his time will be taken up in trying
cases in the Atlanta division, United
States Marshal Walter Akerman de-
tclaerd in letter addressed to Sena-
tor Knute Nelson, of the senate
judiciary committee.
Mr.. Akerman recommended the APP
pointment of five additional United
States deputy marshals to handle the
work which will be entailed by the
, appointment of the third judge. He
had been requested by the depart
ment to make report on the work
of his office and to recommend any
changes he thought would be requir-
ed by the appointment of the third
judge.
That there is more illicit distilling
in the mountains of Northwest Geor-
gia than in three or four states COM
bined in any other part of the coun-
try and that the deputy marshals
are required to devote large part
of their time to combating prohi-
bition law violations was another
point stressed in the letter.
Mr. Alderman also made the point
that the number Of cases handled
in the northern district of Georgia,
was second only to the total disposed
of in the southern district of New
York.

Hero in one-act farce and an.
nounced the startling news that he
would be the country's Leading Act
or before the Flax had begun to show
OH his Name.
For many days after the announce.

because ii was impossible to find n

was conscious of The Fact that he
was Mantell and carried around a

PROBE OF WHITE
Staying BY GRAND
JURY Be CAN TODAY
Investigation is in Progress at
County Courthouse
SESSION SHOULD BE BRIEF

Of Witnesses and Case Has
No Complications
SESSION SHOULD BE BRIEF

The special grand jury summoned
to consider the case Of John Fitzger-
aid, held at the county Jail on the
charge of shooting Ernest w. White,
arrived here this forenoon and Is now
in session
Not much progress was made this
forenoon. There are number of
witnesses TO examine but 1t Is beliey-
ed that the Jurors will complete their
deliberations before adjourning late
this afternoon or early this evening.
AS the alleged shooting OF White.
the YD veteran and fellow employe Of
Fitzgerald at the h z Waist company
mill, took place in the presence of eye
witnesses 1t is not likely that the in.
yestigation will consume more than
the amount OF time needed for
thorough presentation Of the facts by
Attorney General Frank c. Archibald
and States Attorney George A. Math-
ers.
White was shot Friday afternoon
and should an Indictment be returned
against Fitzgerald within the next
two days the result will probably con-
stitute record for quick procedure
in homicide case in Vermont.

Lausanne, Dec. 13.-(By the AS
sociated Press Turkey refused at
todays session Of the Near East con
ference to assign any special part Of
Turkey as a national home for Ar
menans. lsmet Pasha declared 1t
would mean a new attempt to dis
member Turkey.
lsmet Pasha, head of the Turkish
delegation, dashed the hopes of the
Near Eastern conference for speedy
and satisfactory settlement for the
protection OF minorities In Turkey
when, in an address at the afternoon
session yesterday, he insisted upon an
exchange of the Greek population in
Anatolia for the Turks in Macedonia.
He demanded exclusion of all foreign
interference in Turkey. which he said
would protect the remaining minori.
ties. as the Turks had always been
able to get along with other nationals
when they kept ont of politics and
were not stirred up by outside infu.
ences.
Ismet declared that Turkey would
not accept Lord Cur2on's proposal to
have the League of Nations admins.
ter the affairs OF the minorities, as
that would mean that the foreign pow.
ers would continue their interference
in Turkish affairs and encourage the
minorities to appeal to the League OF
Nations. This plan, he asserted
would result in the exploitation OF mi
norities for political ends under "the
lying cloak of humanitarianism.'

Portland Me-, Dec. 13.-Niels
Gron of New York testified under
Gro oss.eXamination in the Superior
court Monday that he had written
letter to his counsel, Frank A. More,
attacking his wifes character because
he wanted to frighten her into telling
him where their nine-year-old son
was. The letter was offered as evi-
dence in the hearing of the divorce
suit brought by Mrs. Gron.
Joseph Connolly, counsel for the
plaintiff, asked for an explanation of
the charges in the letter that Mrs.
Gron was "a criminal OF the most
dangerous character and that for
five years she had lived among the
lowest of the wordl.' The witness
replied that he knew nothing against
Mrs. Grons character. vi

fourteen-fedr-Old Girl MotherinQ
Baby Brother in Destitute Home
Rutland Dec. 13.-A pitiful case of
child neglect and suffering was called
to the attention of the authorities at
Poultney Saturday, when Anna Kasu-
ba, 14-year-old daughter Of Louis
Kasuba OF Poultney. was found
motherlng her brother, Jack, three

CAN'T TAX PULP
WOOD IN TRANSIT
United States Suprems Court Decides
Tax Case Against Town Of
Brattleboro.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Pulp wood
in actual transit between forest and
mills is not subject TO taxation by a
municipality where ii is stopped be-
fore entering interstate commerce the
supreme court held Monday in q case
brought by the Champlain Realty Co.,
against the town OF Brattleboro, VI.
This case was argued in Washing
ton November 27 by NJ. F. Maurice OF
Brattleboro and Mr. Cannon OF New
York, representing the Champlain
Realty Co., and a. p. Carpenter and
Il. w. Gibson Of Brattleboro repre-
senting this town. and at that time
the impression was given that an ear
ly decision would be made. The eff
feet of the decision Is a reversal OF
the decision of the Vermont supreme
court and Is against the town of Brat
tleboro, which taxed the Realty Co. S
pulpwood in West river.
In this case the plaintiff seeks 20
recover tax Of about 500 paid under
protest in 1919. which was assessed
on the company's pulp wood held by
boom at the mouth OF West River and
utHAiHtu lOl
mill on the Connecticut river in Hins-
dale, n. II. The question Of whether
the property was taxable here or was
in interstate transit and therefore not
taxable In Brattleboro is the question
at issue.
In Windham county court Judge
Zed s. Stanton found in favor OF the
Realty Co., but the state supreme
court reversed the decision OF the
county court and rendered judgment
for the town. The Realty Co., took the
case on petition for a writ Of certior-
ari, which was granted at the October
term. 1921.
Cases against the town and school
district to recover taxes paid them by
the company the same year were con
tinued by agreement, pending the
final determination OF the suit against
the town.
Taxes were assessed against the
Realty Co, in 1918, but have not been
paid, and are not collectable, so far
as can be Judged from the above state
ment of the final court decision.
