Fleetness Of foot on the part of a
man just arrested caused the Barre

placed under arrest on a complaint
made BY the secretary of state to the
effect that Martell had failed to re-
port two accidents this year In both
cases be had ran into teams. Acting
on the complaint the chief had Mar
tell drive his car to the police station,
which he willingly did. His gentle ac-
tions blinded the eyes Of the local an-
thorities and while officers Gamble and
Sullivan were searching his machine,
evidently looking for the forbidden
fluid, the prisoner leaped from the
car and started away. The startled
and surprised officers called Marshal
Lawson, who was at the station at the
time and gave chase. Running like
greyhound, the man made for the fire
station, crossing behind 1t and pro-
ceeding up South Main street for
ways, he eutsup over the hill across
Washington street and over Mount

painting behind him gained ground and

three shots at the fleeing figure with

speed, crossing the lawn OF p w. Bis
bees home and then turning sharp
corner, ran up across Terrace avenue
and Highland avenue, where several
residents, who had heard the shots, |
yelled at him. The officers by this
time were nearly winded and were
fast losing ground for by the time
they had reached Elmwood cemetery
the man had disappeared in the near
by woods and was lost from sight.
Chief Sullivan was at loss this |
this morning to know just what the |
mans motive for running was as there |
was no liquor in the car, which bore |
Vermont plates number 225l0. The
vehicle was locked up. however. and
placed in garage wild, orders that

SEC. HOOVER READS
PROPOSITIONS TO
RAILROAD HEADS
Shop Crafts Executives
Met in Chicago With
Chairman Ben Hooper
Present and Represent
ing the Administration,
Though He Had No Mes
sage From President

New York, Aug. ! tBy the Associat
ed Press President Harding's propos
ais for settlement Of the nation wild
rail strike made public to-day in con
nection with their consideration at
meeting Of las road heads, wefe thre
in number.
The first sets forth that the road
and crafts should abide by wage decis
ions reached by the railroad labo
board
The second would provide that al
law suits brought by either side i
connection with the strike should b
withdrawn and that disputes arisin,
out Of the walkout should be left will
the labor board for settlement.
The third proposal land the one cal
culated to provoke the most discussion
when the conference meets again this
afternoon for vote of acceptance OF
ejection-suggest that strikers be
taken back on the basis of seniority
which they enjoyed before they walked
out.
This brief summary Of the Harding
program was made public by r.. l..
Binkheard, secretary to the head Of
the American Association Of Railway
Executives, at the same time that the
text of the administration propos-
ais were being given out in Wash
ington.
While no official expression of opin-
ion could be obtained, it was under
stood that the executives had com
pared notes on conditions on their
lines and come to the conclusion that
it would be unfair to their loyal en-
ployes to accept the presidents third
proposal.
Restoration Of all the strikers, it
was said, would mean that the roads
would be compelled to dismiss many
new employees majority of whom
are ex-service men.
One man from the conference room,
when asked if there was any likeli-
hood that the executives would ac-
cept the seniority proposal, declared:
Never in the world"
The conference which assembled at
the Grand Central terminal to-day to
discuss President /Hardings' proposals
for settlements of the nationwid rail
strike, adjourned until this afternoon
without taking action after Secretary
of Commerce Hoover had presented the
administrations proposition.
Prior to the general conference the
standing committee of the American
Association of Railway Executives
went into session here to-day to pre-
pare a reply to President Hardings
proposal for settlement of the railroad
strike.
The standing committee adjourned
its session shortly before noon and the
general conference was called. TO or
der Reading Of President Harding's
proposal Immediately was begun
The presidents plan was brought
here by Alfred 7. Thorn, counsel for
the executives national associa zion.
and was presented to the standing com
mittee. with which T. Dewitt Cuyler.
head Of the organization sat as chair
man.
Presidents of railroads which serve
every state in the union are here for
the session. Most Of the rail chiefs de-
elared they had not yet seen the speci.
fic proposal and therefore had not de-
cided what would be their attitude to-
ward its acceptance.
