Huerta is said to have mentioned that
port to his friends.
Mrs. Huerta and a number of women
in her party spent the night on the Brit

Huerta, on his leisurely journey to
this port, passed the night at Tierr

revolutionists who have boasted that
they will never let Huerta reach the

Huerta's failure to hasten his exit
from the country caused some worry on
the part of his wife, while Senora rsia

The coming of the refugees was so

Long Hearing.
St. AMbans, July 18. The liquor license
at the Colonial inn was revoked late yes
terday afternoon by the liquor license
commissioners, following a second hear
ing on complaint of citizens that the
terms of the license were violated when
the freshman closs of the University of
Vermont held a banquet at the inn the
night of May 28. The second hearing
was held on petition from the defense
that it had new testimony to give. The
reason given for the revocation is that
there was a violation of the condition
of the license relative to selling or fur
nishing liquor to minors. The matter of
an appeal from the decision of the com
missioners to the Franklin county court
is being considered.
When the second day of the hearing
opened yesterday morning at nine o'clock
the defense placed a member of the class
on the stand, tie testined to hearing
some of his classmates talking before
they left Burlington about procuring
some liquor before they left there. He
also testified that he saw two and pos
sibly more students intoxicated on the
trip to this city and that be thought
several were intoxicated when they
reached here. Charles Royce of this city,
the next witness testified that he was in
the station when the special train bear
ing the class arrived in St. Albans and
he thought some of the students were
intoxicated.
C. G. Au-tin for the Colonial inn and
State's Attorney G. F. Ladd for the
otate made their arguments before the
noon recess and in the afternoon Elmer

himself as a citizen, gave his rgument.

During First Four Months of the Present
Season in Vermont Total Tax
Will Aggregate $150,000.
The State of Vermont's estimated in
come from motor car registration during
the year 1014 is estimated by Secretary
of State Bniley at $150,000, the larges
amount collected by the state in thi
tax. This amount goes into road build
ing and added to it la $200,000 highway
appropriation annually. So this year
the sum of $.150,000 probably will be
available for permanent road construe
tion.-
The bulk of the registration is done
n the spring and early summer months
from March to July. For these four
months, the fees, according to returns
to the secretary of state, totalled $118,
193.30, exceeding any previous four cor
responding months in the history of the
present law. The automobile fees from
various sources run about $600 a day.
This is in addition to the fees paid
prior to March 1 which will help com
plete the grand total.
ror the four big months mentioned
there were 1,57-1 new cars registered
which would represent an expenditure
on the part of ermont people of about
$1,100,000 for automobiles if the cars
averaged to cost $700 each, representing
an average expenditure per capita of a
trifle over $3, based on the last national
census.
The increase in automobile fees in the
past six years has been most remarkable.
In 100!) there were registered 1,8.58 au
tomobiles and 83 motorcycles and the
income was $2H,(i57.34, including $11 re
ceived before March 1 under the old
law. In 1910 there were 2.446 machines
registered and 124 motorcycles, income
$43,112.09. In 1911, 3.254 automobiles.
148 motorcycles, income $60,635.24. In
1912, 4,283 automobile and 204 motor
cycles, income $80,798.75. In 1913, 5,918
automobiles and 291 motorcycles, in
come VlII.4o9.MI. rrom March 1 to
June 30, 1914, inclusive, there were 6.260

Police Do Not Secure Identification
the Body Found on Beach.
Boston, Julv 17. After a fruitless all-
day investigation into the death of the
woman whose body was lound, floating
in the ocean off Locust street, Winthrop,
early yesterday morning, a possible clue
as to her identity waa furnished to
Medical Examiner Leary last night, when
private in the coast artillery corps
stationed at Fort Heath identified her
aa the woman who had come to the fort
Wednesday evening, seeking a non-com
missioned officer recently discharged
from the service.
The clue, instantly followed by the
medical examiner, led only to increasing
perplexity as to who the drowning vic
tim might be when Fr. Leary found the
nnn-commissioned officer, toik him to
the morgue, where the woman's body
still lies, and the man not only denied
ever having seen the' woman, but that
he had ever heard of a girl whose name
she had given when she called at the
fort.
There was nothing on the body to dis
close its identity. Tucked in one stock
ing was a purse with 77 cents and a
small key. In the other stocking a pa ir
of gold-rimmed eyeglasses was found.
She wore no rings or jewelry.
Followine his examination. Dr. Leary
declared that death had been due to
drowning. He would not express an
opinion as to whether the woman had
died accidentally or not.
The Winthrop police informed every
town and every police station of Boston
in an eflort to find trace of someone
missing, who might answer the descrip
tion of the body. They also made in
quiries, alontr the Winthrop Shore dme
for word of any woman seen there act-
ng peculiarly.
All of Them Had to Do With Use
Liquor.
Six cases were heard in Montpelier
citv court this morning. The first re
spondent waa John Mulcahy, a fireman,
f Brattleboro, who couldn t pay a tine
of $5 and costs for an intoxication case
and went to county jail for 20 days.
Michael Tracy was in for a subsequent
offense, and he was sent to the county
jail . for 30 days and in addition was
assessed a fine of $15 and costs. Thom
as Maloney of Burlington may go to
county jail also in lieu of payment of
a fine of $15 and costs for a subse
quent offense.
Hugh Leonard of Woodbury hopes to
be able to pay a line of $5 and costs of
$5.50. George Donahue pleaded not guil
ty to a subsequent offense and was ad
judged guilty, after which he was fined
$15, with costs. He probably will take
an appeul. A. Bernardini was recog
nized aa bondsniac in such a contin-
gt-n'T-
Patrick Malov, who skipped out ot
Special Officer l.lmer Pattee s clasp, was
arraigned on the charge of intoxication
and on conviction of a subsequent ot
fense waaent to the county jail for 30
days, in addition to which he was fined
$15, with costs. It is likely, too, that
he will be held pending the action of
the grand jury on a charge of string
an officer.
