CREAMERY is
DESTROYED AT
DERBY LINE,
Fire Said to Have Started
In Engine Room of
Plant

Fire which is supposed to have
broken out in the engine room of
the Holland Creamery and ice
cream plant, situated near the
Derby Line and Rock Island
freight station at three o'clock
yesterday morning, practically des-
troyed the entire plant, burning
the building to the ground, with
the exception of the ice cream
house, which was under the same
roof and which was not destroyed.
The Derby Line and Rock Is
land fire brigades responded to
the call, but were unable to save
the building. Some of the equip
ment of the building was saved
and early this morning young
sters were on the spot with pals
and spoons partaNng OF the con-
tents of the ice cream cans.
The Holland Creamery, which
was established d few years ago
by Messrs. c. r. Counter and b.
f.. Wilson of Derby Line, take in
large quantities of cream every
day from farmers of the surround
ing district. This is pasteurized and
shipped to Boston. Until the
creamery can be rebuilt, which is
expected will be at once, there will
be a great Inconvenience to the
patrons.
The proprietors are young men
o. great enterprise, and highly res
pected, and it is hoped that they
will continue the business.

ters at their meeting in the Carl
ton club today voted by 1856 to 81,
to appeal to the country as the
conservative party.
This creates a situation of the
greatest political confusion and un-
certainty the country had known
fol- many years. The next move
certain to be made will be the re-
signation of Austen Chamberlain
and his associates, Lord Balfour
and Lord Birkenhead from the
cabinet.
1t is expected Prime Minister
Lloyd George will then present his
resignation to the king and advise
his majesty to summon a Con-
selvative leader to form u govern
ment. This course would be taken
because the Conservatives have
the largest number of members in
the House of Commons. The Con-
servative leader expected to be
picked for the task is either An
drew Bonar Law or the Earl OF
Derby.
The life of the new Conservative
ministry will probably be very
brief, according to present forecast
and a general election is expected
to follow its formation. King
George, who has been on a holiday
at Sandringham, returned to Lon
don today 1t is expected that
Prime Minister Lloyd George will
be received in audience by him
late today
The announcement of the resign
alton of the government was made
by the Central News agency at
4.23 this afternoon. No official or
other announcement was made eX-
cept the semi-otficial statement of
the Associated Press. Several of
the Unionist junior members re-
slgned Immediately after the meet
ing, including Stanley Baldwin,
president of the board of trade and
Sir Philip Lloyd Green minister of
overseas trade.
The vote of the Conservatives mt
the Carlton club was taken on a
motion by Col. Pettiman, member
fol the Charmshood division Of
Essex, which read resolved that
this meeting of Conservative mem
bcrS of the House Of Commons de-
clarcs its opinion that the Conser-
vative party while willing to CO.
operate with the Coalition Liberals
should fight the election as an in
dependent party with its own lead
er and its own program"
If the Conservatives control the
next Parliament. they may be de
pended upon to carry out the
treaty made with Ireland by the
Lloyd George government.
That this would be done was :,
stated by the Marquis of Sails
bury in his speech last Monday.
The result is the general collapse
Of the Coalition party after a per-
iod of upheaval, the length Of
which it is difficult to predict and
the reversion of Breat Britain to
the traditional system on strict
party lines.

GRAND JURY
Milton J. Warner Secures
Lincoln Coupe at
Highwater
Especial to Caledonian-Record)

(Spec1al 10 dleIOnlan-RecOru)
WORCESTER, Mass. Oct. 49,
Worcester county grand Jury has
returned an indictment of larceny
against Edmund McGourty in con-
nection with the theft of an au-
tomobile from Fitchburg, District
Attorney States. McGourty will
be brought back to Fitchburg
when st. Johnsbury authorities are
finished with him
Caledonia county officials today
accompanied Milton !. Warner of
New Haven, Ct, to Highwater, P.
@. where he was to recover his
Lincoln coupe, stolen from him
when trio of bandits held him
up at West Danville last Friday.
The coupe, confscated by the
Canadian customs officials, before
daybreak Monday morning when
two of the bandits, George Mills
and Lyle Barribeau entered Can
ada without reporting, has been
kept under lock and key awaiting
the arrival of it's owner.
The local officials who went with
Mr.. Warner this morning were
States Atty. J. 3. Campbell, Sher-
if Wilbur Worthen and Municipal
Judge Harry Blodgett. Mr.. War
ner arrived in St. Johns bury last
night in response to communica-
tions he has had with States At
torney Campbell and Chief OF
Police Finley,
With the appearance of Mr..
Warner at Highwater, it is expect
ed that the red tap which pre-
vented the transfer of the Lincoln
coupe to Chief Finley and State
Highway Officer Harry Dickens on
Tuesday will be easily cut.
The Lincoln coupe has not been
harmed in the least by Mills and
Barribeau, the two bandits who
have been driving it since they
stole it from Mr.. Warner.
When Mills was being taken to
St. Johnsbury from Highwater by
the officials Tuesday afternoon, he
said that the Lincoln coupe was IN
poor shape when he took it. 1t
needed oiling and much tinkering
here and there, he declared. Mills
prides himself on his eXpertness as
an automobile repairman. He ad
mitted to the officers and the Cal
edonian-Record reporter that he
had worked over the Lincoln car
and had it running smoothly.
The Cadillac car which Mills and
McGourty sto,e at Fitchburg,
Mass, was referred to by the for
mer as the "Cadie". Mills said,
chat 'Cadie' could walk away
from most anything | ever saw
We had it up to II miles an hour
coasting at one time"
Mills and McGourty are still in
Caledonia county Jail awaiting dis
posal of their cases by the officials.
