REGISTRATION TO
BE INVESTIGATE
State Officials to Come Here to Try to
Determine Who Registered Car
Which Eluded Officers.

No trace thus far has been found of
the automobile with the license number
1867 registered under the name of
Clara A. Arms of Brattleboro and which
escaped from the prohibition enforcement
officials at Island Pond last Friday night
after the machine had been the object of
a fusillade from revolvers in the hands
of the officers. Local officials have been
on the watch for the car, said to be a
Buick and alleged to have carried cargo
of liquor, but since word was received
here of the escape of the car officers here
are certain that it has not passed through
Brattleboro.
The matter has been turned over to
state officials at Montpelier. who are
endeavoring TO trace the owner of the car
by means of the registration blanks
which have to be filed out and signed be-
fore notary public or some other neces-
sary official Representatives from the
state registration office are expected in
Brattleboro TO interview the official be-
fore whom the registration was filed
out and signed. In this way it is hoped
TO locate the person or persons who reg
istered the car under what is thought to
be q fictitious name printed in the auto
mobile register.

Burglars Escaped Before Help Arrived
Adams Family Slept Through Visi-
tation at Their Home

After barely recovering from the shock
of the bold burglaries at several of the
towns mercantile places nearly six
weeks ago, the villagers were again dis
turbed this morning by. the news that
two breaks occurred either late last night
or early this morning at two private
residences. One break occurred between
go and o'clock this morning at
the home of Mrs Florence Switzer at
so Green street. where the thieves ap-
parently were frightened away before
they had opportunity to take anything,
and the other happened sometime in the
night at the home of Raymond II. Adams
at 4 Myrtle street. where the intruders
took a lady's handbag, a purse contain
ing nearly S4 in money, and pair of
kid gloves which were dropped outside
the house by the thieves in their haste
to get away. The breaks were called to
the attention of States Attorney Harold
E. Whitney, who will make an investiga-
ton.
The time of the thieves operations at
the Switzer house was definitely fixed
between go and 3 o'clock. because Mrs.
Switzer was awakened by the flashing
of an electric pocket lamp in an adjacent
room. Entrance TO the home was gained
by means of the kitchen door. which Mrs
Switzer said this morning she was GER
tain she had forgotten to lock when she
retired last night. After entering the
kitchen, the intruders went into the dim
ing room. beyond which is the front room
where Mrs. SwitZer slept on a couch A
pair of portieres divides the dining room
from the front room. and the free use of
the flash light in the dining room awak-
ened her.
At first Mrs. Switzer thought that her
mother. Mrs. Jennie S. Dennison. who
slept in another room off the dining
room, had arisen, but after few min
utes she realized that some prowler had
gained entrance, so very quietly she arose
from her couch and went upstairs to
awaken her son, Roy, who is employed
