MANY TICKETS
ARE PLEDGED
Plans for Next Year's Chau
tauqua Already Are
Under Way
YESTERDAY A DAY
OF MUCH INTEREST
Series Lecture by Dr. Huelster, Recit
als by Granville-Hines Company and
Presentation of The Man from Home
I'eatures.
Hie tilth day of the Chautauqua
course was a day of sustained inter
est, and la rye audiences attended, es
petially in the evennip, when about
l.lot) persons made their way to the
Iiiy tent. Steps were begun last nitrht
looking to another course next year,
aud the results were gratifying to
thoso in charge. Dr. Huelster," superin
tendent, had blank subscriptions passed
through the audience, and when they
were gathered up it was found that
considerably more than 3no course
tickets had been subscribed for. This
is a materially larger number than
were pledged on the first day pledges
were received a year ago, and it indi
cates beyond a doubt that Hrattleboro
will have a Chautauqua course in
1!U7. If 7."0 course tickets are pledged
now no more course tickets will be
old next season, which proves the ad
visability of making pledges before the
present course is over.
lesterday afternoon's program
opeiHil with series lecture by Pr.
Huelster on The Church, or What Is
the Matter with the Church.' His audi
ence areeit liertectlv with what he had
to say, and all njjreed that his address
was deeply interesting. His point was
that there is nothing the matter with
the church but that whatever trouble
there seems to be with the church is
in reality with the people who make
up ttu church. 1 hey pay too much
attention to minor details of belief
and form, which results in multitudes
of overchurched communities, where
by reason of insufficient strength and
support the several churches are un
able to do the work that one strong
church could accomplish.
In both afternoon aud evening an
entertainment was given by the (iran-ville-Hines
Co. of New York, composed
of Charles N. Cranvillc. baritone, and
tiabriel Hines, pianist-composer. They
were one of the really delightful at
tractions. One rarely hears such a
pleasing baritone voice as Mr. Oran
ville possesses. It is remarkably
smooth, pure and-resonant, and back
of it is dramatic ability and the abil
ity to enunciate with absolute dis
tinctness. He sings humorous bal
lads or grand opera selections with
equal excellence, and with equal satis
faction on the part of the audience.
Mr. Ilines. who was the accompanist,
also rendered solo numbers and dis
played musical genius of a high order.
A selection last evening which was re
markably well done was a paraphrase
of the quartet from Kigoletto. by
Liszt, and smother was an original
paraphrase of a well-known hymn,
played entirely with the left hand. It
included the melody and accompani
ment, with various runs interpolated,
executed with appealing- sweetness
and one who had not been watching
would have been unable to sav whether

P. D. COBB FILES
ANSWER TO MOSHER
Defendant in Ejectment Suit Asks
for Transfer to Court of Equity
Has Several Offsets.
Paul 1). Cobb, defendant in an ejectment
suit brought by Kenneth K. Mosher in
June by which the defendant was. ejected
from one of the Honrs of the Mosher ga
rage building, where he had maintained
an automobile repair shop, has tiled an
answer in which lie prays that the entire
action be amended into the court of
equity and that the defendant's answer be
treated as a cross bill. The reason given
for the motion to transfer to the court of
equity is that the defendant would have
no opportunity to claim offsets under the
original bill in a court of law without a
multiplicity of law suits, whereas if tried
in a court of equity all suits may be tried
as one.
The defendant' answer sets forth that
on Aug. 23, 191.5, Cobb leased from Mosh
er one floor of the building for a repair
shop at -Sl.'MH) a year rental, payable in
equal monthly installments. It is claimed
that he never was given more than ap
proximately two-thirds; that it had not
been heated as called for in the lease and
as a result there was much loss of time to
the defendant: that the plaintiff had failed
to repair a leaky roof, which caused tlie
defendant other damage: that the plain-
tin had not given him all the repair woik
of the garage as provided for in the lease;
that there is now $1.5.5.80 due the defend
ant for repair work from the plaintiff:
that he denies that he owes $.500 or any
part of it for rent and that he vacated
the premises as ordered to do and they
have since been in the possession of the
plaintiff.
lie further claims that he was to receive
f0 cents an hour for repair work other
than from the firm of Mosher & Tucker,
for which he was to receive 3.5 cents per
hour. When the firm of Mosher & Tuck
er dissolved and Mosher assumed the liabil
ities he says there was due for repair work
-i.3i and since that there is due !S.43.
He alleges that tkS he had never received
only about two-thirds of the space for
which he paid rent that he had paid
27.37 in excess of what he had to use each
month and that by reason of several auto-
moDiies having been in his shop tor 10-
pairs at the time of the ejectment, and be
cause ins tools are there, lie has lieen un
der heavy loss since. The papers aie from
the office of C. C. Kitts.
RAILROAD MEN SEEM
TO FAVOR A STRIKE
One-Fourth of 400,000 Votes Already
Counted East and Southeast Sen
timent Unanimous.
NEW YORK. August 2. Ballots of
O'le-fonrth of the 400,000 members of
four railroad brotherhoods who are
voting; on the question of calling a
general strike on 22-5 railroads, already
have been canvassed, and they were
virtually unanimous in favor of a
strike, it was learned last night.
The ballots counted here yesterday
were received from the eastern and
southern territories, and it is expected
the chairman of the general adjust
ment committees representing workers
on railroads west of Chicago find tho
Mississippi river will report hero, it
was said, not later than next Saturday.
Timothy Shea, assistant president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Engineers, who is in charge
of the staff of 50 men counting the
ballots, said it will take fully five
days to count the votes from all ter
ritories. About (5.50 chairmen will report
here, he said.
When the complete vote has been
counted, probably on Saturday or Mon
day, Shea said, there will be a meet
ing here of the national conference
committee of railways and the result
will be submitted by the brotherhood
oflicials. Negotiations will then be con
ducted in the hope that a satisfactory
settlement may be reached. A strike
would be called only if the negotia
tions failed.

NEW YORK, August 2.-The threat
ened tie-up of every car line in Greater
New Yoik is to be only the first step in

ed today by Louis Frediger, counsel for
the union organizers. "This is to be a
country wide affair," he declared. "The
organizing of street railway men is pro
gressing rapidly. Attention is to be cen

Ti.oou ana was lurnished by the fath
ler
ot tlie respondent.
Arguments were made this morning
on the motion for an arrest of judg
ment in the case, which was denied.
Mr. Chase argued for a fir.e and proba
tion sentence and State's Aftornev O.
B. Hughes for a sentence that would
make it plain to other drivers of auto
mobiles that reckless driving would not
be tolerated.
Judge Barber, in pronouncing sen
tence, said that it was a very unpleas
ant duty, as he knew the respondent's
father very well-and was acquainted
with his brothers, but that he felt
that he would not be doing his dutv if
he did not impose a severe penalty." He
said that the respondent was 26 "vears
old and had had trouble before while
driving an automobile and that it was
made plain in the trial of the case
Monday that he was drivins? an auto
mobile after having indulged in liquor.
Arter imposing? ttie sentence he re
fused to suspend the jail sentence, al
though requested bv Mr. Chase to sus
pend it, and Mr. Chase took the follow
ing exceptions this moraine- in addi
tion to those he took durincr the trial-
"That the sentence is excessive and
beyond the jurisdiction of the muni
cipal court to impose and that it is in
excess of the maximum penaltv iuposed
bv the Public Statutes ns nunislmifvnt
for the crime for which iudement had
been rendered.
"The case was tried under the com
plaint of a breach of the peace instead
of under fhe statute relating to thp
driving of automobiles. Under the lat
ter th-'1 maximum penaltv is a fine
while under the breach of the peace
charge the maximum penaltv is five
vears."
