At 8 o'clock, Sat general befuddlcment. Tho session lasted urday evening, June 30, there will be nn nvpr nn linlir nn il n 1ml r. infnrmnl mpetlnc of the old students, at The meeting wns called to order snort- ly after 8 o'clock by M. J.

Pratt, William Boyco, M. Doyle, John M. Dugan, Clifford Baker, David Carey, R. S. Chllds, C. F. Mann. T. J. Sawyer. The choice of a town committee wns a tedious Job. First n committee consisting of C. A. Boyden, T. J. Heaphy and. John Galvln was appointed to present names for a committee. They decided upon C. A. Boyden, M. J. Mornn and Martin Austin. Mr. Austin declined nnd Mr, Moran Indicated his disposition to follow suit. Then followed a period of drifting with attempts to have Austin nnd Moran reconsider, with various motions, sug gestions, etc., but finally another com mittee was nppolnted to select a com mittee, Messrs. Kalne, Roel and Aher reported In favor of C. H. Davenport, Arthur P. Carpenter nnd Fred I. Swift for a, town committee and they were chosen. The trouble of the evening was preclpl tated by an Innocent looking resolution which Martin Austin offered early In the proceedings, but which was not acted upon until alter tne otner Dusiness was transacted. The resolution was as fol lows: "Resolved: That the delegates elected to the state convention be and hereby nre Instructed to support n straight party ticket. J. T. Kalne thought the delegates should not be instructed. T. J. Heaphy stated several times that he did not wish I to go with his hands tied and moved that the delegates bo unlnstructed. C. H. Davenport believed that the Democrats of urattieooro were not in ravor of ruslon but that the resolution went too far. He drew a gaily colored picture of tho possibility of the Clement nnd Democratic tickets polling 40,000 votes nnd throwing the election Into the legislature, as was done In 1853, nnd of tho triumph there of tne .Democrats u tnoy stucK uy their I guns. Frank S. Pratt paid his comnll- ments to Mr. Davenport's rainbow chasing, I ana aeciarea mat me only possible way mat proctor could ue beaten would be throuch the Democratic nominntinn nf I Clement. Ho rtenlnrert th.it Pmrnnr He. feated the weekly payment law two years ago, but that Clement would favor such a law and nn employers' liability net. J. J. Eckels was red hot for fusion, and nssev- erated that the question wns not one of party but of the people against an oil- garcuy. wnne in tavor oi tusion ne wns not in favor of instructing the delegates in any way. Mr. Eckels moved an nmend- ment to an amendment, Mr. Galvln moved that the amendments be laid on the table, Mr. Boyden moved that the caucus ad journ, etc., etc. Martin Austin said that the time to have fused was four years ago. Then Clement had an Issue, but he had no use for the Democratic party and told them so nt Burlington. He was going to win alone . and would not give the Democrats even the vacant place on his ticket. He turned them down good nnd hard. Now that he hasn't a single thing but personal am bltlon he Is willing to fuse with the Demo crats. Out of the dlvereent vlows nnd multiplicity of motions was finally evolved charged with improper conduct and, nd a vote that the delegates go unlnstructed mtttlng her guilt, was fined $7 nnd costs but that the sentiment of the caucus be ex pressed "In favor" of ,a straight party ticket. It is understood thnt of the dele gates four are for a straight ticket Dav enport, Shumway, Austin nnd Moran; while the other four Carpenter, Chllds. Heaphy and Kalne, are not averse to fusion.

FROM CHILL TO FEVER Seventeen Automobilists Endured Various Temperatures Officers Held Stop Watches on Them Over Eighth-Mile Course and Bailiffs Pros ecuted Them for Violating Speed Law. From rhlll to fever Is the range In bod ily temperature which the Brattleboro au tomobilists have experienced the past week. The chill came Friday night when they learned that, unbeknown to tho drivers, tho speed of 17 machines over nn clghth-mllc course on Mnln street had bcen taken during the afternoon by of- fleers of tho law nrmed with stop watches nnd In tho employ of tho village bailiffs. The fever developed when the speedy au- tolsts began to realize that the general public demanded that the punishment which tho law specifically provides bo meted out. that tho bailiffs really Intend ed to prosecute them nnd that to bo fined once would bring them face to faco with the liability of being put In Jail for 10 days If ever they should be taken for n second offense. Then began a strenuous effort on the part of some to prevent being prosecuted, except In some way which in the end would result in escaping n fine, nnd how they came out Is told farther on. The public also has taken nn interest, akin to fcvcrlshncss. In tho matter, nnd tho nutomoblle Incident has been the over- shndowlng topic of Interest this week. .

Lynch, Howard Mer rill, Arthur Miller, John R. Ryder nnd Charles D. Whltaker. As hereafter men tioned, Bailiff Henry R. Brown wns com plained of by Mr. Harris, making 18 drivers on the defensive. Tho reckless driving on the part of a few owners Of automobiles In Brattleboro waB the cause which led the bailiffs to tako action. Some time ngo they ported notices stating that tho law positively would be enforced. The fact was pub lished in the local newspapers and after- wards wooden signs were placed in dif ferent parts of the village calling atten tion to the speed limit, so that ample warning was given. The wnrnlng had no perceptible effect nnd the bailiffs decided to have n course on Main street measured off for the purpose of getting nt some thing definite as to violations of the law. They entrusted this work to Policeman William Warren nnd Deputy Sheriff Chnuncey I. Knapp. Not far from two weeks ngo the two officers procured a 75-foot tape measure and, under cover of darkness, measured off n distance of G60 feet, beginning nt the post nenr Randall & Clapp's Jewelry store nnd going northwnrd to n point nbout opposite the Unitarian church. Under the 10-mlle-nn-hour clause In the law this course should not be covered In less than 4S seconds. On Thursdny after noon of last week the officers "went fish ing." They caught one or two. Mr. Wnrren went to the north end of the course nnd Mr. Knapp to the south end. Both kept tab nn the nutomoblles pass ing over the course, signalling to each other by waving a newspaper when ever nn nutomoblle entered or left the course. On Friday nfternoon the "fishing wns better. J. G. Ullcry went over the course, but nt that time It had become known that the officers were on the look out and after Mr. Ullery had passe,! the first omcer he wns wnrncd so that his time did not exceed the law. How L. D. Tnylor escaped Is told In this story. On Saturday afternoon the bailiffs held a special meeting nnd voted to prosecute the drivers of the cars, leaving the details to village Attorney A. r. scnwenK. Then began n movement to prevent prosecution ns already stated, and on Mondny nfter noon the bniurrs were given n ride by some of those deeply Interested In the mntter nnd the workings of touring cars were cxplnlned to them In a wny cap culnted to show that It was Impracticable to drive n touring car nt less than 10 miles nn hour. The bailiffs did not re cede from their orlginnl position. In view of the wny the statute has been misquoted on the street the vltnl part of section 8, Act No. SC. Acts of 1904, Is given herewith. It provides that no nu tomobllo or motor vehicle shall be run ,, ,..... , . n any public or private way laid out Je,, .new part of a town or fl city.

Upon approaching a crossing of intersecting ways, nlso In trnvcrslng n I crossing or Intersection, nnd In going nround a corner, or n curve In a highway. every person operating nn nutomoblle or motor vehicle shall run It nt n rate of speed less than that hereinbefore specified nnd nt no time greater than Is reasonable and proper, having regard to trnfllc nnd tho use of the wny and the safety of the public, nnd In no event exceeding six miles an hour."

Village Attorney Schwenk Issued com plaints ngnlnst the speedy nutolsts Tues- day nfternoon. summoning them before Justice John II. Merrifleld. It was not within Mr. Mcrrlfleld's Jurisdiction to try me cases except to determine whether the evidence was sufficient to bind tho re- "i"""""" over to me county court tor " K" tne htuiiu jury. ine re- spondents voluntarily went Into court nnd immediately Fred C. Adams waived cx nmlnatton nnd wns bound over to the county court In bonds of )50. He was re leased on his own recognizance. Mr. Schwenk then took up the case against W. E. Haskell. Judge E. L. Watermnn and Lawyer E. W. Qlbson appeared for Mr. Haskell, Deputy Sheriff Knapp was called ns tho flrst' witness. He testified as to tho way in which he nnd Mr. Warren timed Mr. Deputy Sheriff Knapp was called as tho Haskell with ston watches over an eighth. mue course which they previously nnd measured with a tape and said that Mr, Haskell covered the course in 30 seconds. Replying to questions by Judge Waterman he said he had Orlen Ellis's watch, which cost HBO. but that ho never tested It with n view to determining its nccuracy. Ho said ho stood at the south end of the course nnd started the watch when the rear wheels of Mr. Haskell's machine wore : even with n post near Randall & - "" , said he did not stnnd close to the post. but stood most of tho tlmo In a noorwny about 15 feet south of the post, but wns sure ho could tell from that nngle when Haskell's and other automobiles wero directly opposite tho posts. With respect to all the nutomoblles Mr. Knapp said: "They seemed to bo going nt the ordinary speed at which they run nrounci town." "so rar as you couiu see. said Judge Waterman, "did thoy Intend to brenk tho law?" Mr. Knapp's reply wns: "No." A similar answer was gjven to Judge Waterman's question: "If you had not been tlm ng them would you have notlccd that t,f . wero runnlng nt nn oxcesslvo rate of speed?" Tho witness said that he did not take tno number or I . ... . .. . - Mr. Haskell's car at the time, but took i j later in the evening. Ho wns suro that It wns thn mm car. Policeman William Wnrren was cnlled. He testified nbout measuring off the course and about timing S: M. Denlson and Dr. E, n. Lynch Thursday night nnd then was asked specifically about Mr. Haskell. Ha said Mr. Haskell was going south instead nf north as Mr. Knapp tes tified.

"We did not undertake to keep n record of the frac tions of seconds," he said. Mr. Warren said he timed tho nuto moblles ns the front wheels entered the course nnd ns the renr wheels left it. He took the number of Mr. Hnskell s machine ns It went down. I.lnn Tnylor went down nbout 50 feet nhcad of Mr. Haskell, he said, and nnother mnchine was Just ahead of Mr. Taylor, but ns he could time but one nt n time ho held tho watch on Mr. Haskell. Mr. Knapp wns recalled, when asked by Judge Waterman for his original record he said he drew the record ore with pen nnd Ink nnd threw the original record Into the waste basket. "With the exception of one or two Instances," said Mr. Knapp, "my record agreed with Mr. Wnrron's. Whenever there was ny variation we gave tne nutomouinsi tne benefit of the longer time." The opening nrgument was made by Mr. Schwenk. He said the question for the court to consider was whether there wns probable cause for binding the re spondents over. It having been proved that the respondents violated the law, he said there was but one thing for the court to do. For the defense E. W. Gibson stated that there wns so much In the testimony of the officers that did not "Jibe" that there was considerable doubt ns to whether tho time wns actually and fairly taken. "A second counts for n good deal,'' he sail, "In holding a man on n criminal charge. He argued that the Intent to brenk the law must be considered ns well ns the actual commission of the net. He thought it would not servo the ends of Justice to hold the respondents. Mr. Schwenk said the respondents had ample wnrnlng, that the bailiffs had posted notices that the law would be en forced, nnd that tho automobilists knew It. "It Is Just because they were run ning ns they ordinarily do that they are brougnt Into court here today. Give them 10 seconds for Inaccuracies nnd then they will be found to have greatly exceeded the law," he said. At this point Mr. Merrifleld said he would like more time in which to consider the testimony, nnd he ndjourned court to 10 o clock Wednesday morning. Immediately after court adjourned Charles A, Harris entered complaint to Mr. Schwenk ngainst Bailiff Henry R. Brown, charging him with violating tho law which requires drivers of automobiles to run their cars not to exceed six miles an hour when npproachlng cross walks and intersecting streets. The complaint wns signed by Mr. Merrifleld. . Mr. Harris in discussing the question of speed with Mr. Brown before the hear ing said It would be Impossible to run over the course laid out by the officers as slow as 45 seconds on tho high gear. To demonstrate that It could be done Mr. Harris rode over the course with Mr. Brown in the latter s car. Mr. Brown occupied more than 45 seconds In covering the course, but he exceeded the slx-mlle limit, nnd In view of the fact that tho action was brought by the bailiffs, of whom Mr. Brown Is one, Mr. Harris re taliated by having a complaint Issued against Mr. Brown. Later in the afternoon Charles R. Crosby waived examination and was bound over in the sum of 50 and was released on his own recognizance. On Wednesday morning the speed ar tists nnd n largo number of spectators as sembled In the county clerk's office ex pecting thnt the decision In the Haskell case would be announced. But It was not given. Somo of tho leaders in the fight to prevent being bound over had been ac tive since tho close of Tuesday's session and In tho morning the bailiffs held n protracted meeting to consider a propo sition not to press the matter to a con clusion, but to hold It off a month, keen. Ing the automobilists under probation, as It were. The bailiffs took no action, it being shown clearly that tho matter was In tho hands of the court, beyond their reacn. Court convened shortly before noon. Mr. Schwenk nnnounced that J. L. Mar tin, who hnd bcen engaged as counsel for C. W. Dunham, was not able to attend to that case immediately, being obliged to go away on other business, nnd that lie naa agreed to a continuance of Mr. Dunham's case to July 9. Judge Water man men asiceu to have nil the cases con tlnued to July 9. Mr. Gibson snld he ron resented several of the respondents, that eacn case would require several witnesses, that he had had no time In which to nre- paro tho cases and that he would tlko to nave mem continued to July 9.

Schwenk said he agreed to continue the Dunham case out of professional courtesy to Mr. Martin, but he saw no reason why the other cases should be continued. He said he was ready to try them and had been ready all tho time and that counsel on the other side could procure witnesses with no trouble whatever as they nil lived near by. The court asked if any of the respond ents objected to having their cases con tinued, whereupon Mr. Brown nroso and said: "I should like to have mine tried this nfternoon." Judge Waterman arose to speak again, but the court interrupted htm and said that with the exception of Mr. Brown's enso all the cases would be continued to July 9 at 10 o'clock. Mr. Schwenk called attention to the fact that nil the evidence In the Haskell case was In nnd said he saw no reason why the de cision should not be given, but the court said that that case stood continued with the rest.
