V MEETINGS IN NEAR-BY TOWNS % / _____ f > Republican Leaders Expect Big Ma- f jority in the County—Democrats! Plan Meeting at Salem— Granville y Glee Club Coming Here. I SEIZED CANADIAN ALE IH FORT EDWARD YARDS Hudson Falls Officers Got Word That Federal JVIen on the Job Were Hi jackers— 300 Cases ia Consignment. v Although most folks are getting | •| their political speeches by radio this fall, political meetings are to be held ■ in most of the towns of this county :■ under the auspices of the Republican county committee. The meeting in ijreenwich will be held at St. Joseph’s <^,hall Saturday evening of this week, ,.*-and a large attendance is expected. The speakers announced include Hon. Frank Crowther of Schenectady, ^ representative in Congress from the ‘ ■^rhirtieth district, Congresman James I, S. Parker of Salem and Judge M. A. \ I Tierney of Troy. | jP Congressman Crowther is a very releasing speaker, as those who heard I him at the meeting of the county com- ' r mittee in Salem last July can testify, and Congressman Parker is always . heard with pleasure by Washington •’county audiences. Judge Tierney, •. who is a Washington county boy, has < been heard here on former occasions. \ ljj- is a very interesting and effective t ^(‘s thP*0 speakers, it is ex- l '/(ported that others may be heard, and f the Granville glee club will also be present, These Granville singers are 'principally descendants of the Welsh 'i settlers in that ■section among whom ' vnal music is held in high esteem. T'.ex have been heard here on former ' o-.-asinns, and fhey are alw’ays giv£n* .1 w.irm reception. A, number from this village at- .. u^ided the political meeting held by the Republicans at Burton hall, Eas ton, Monday night at which Hon. •^Francis X. Schoonmaker was the principal speaker. Mrs. Lena Brown of Granville, vice-chairman of the Re publican county committee, also gave ,an address there as did Herbert Van Kirk of Greenwich. Mrs. Brown is keeping speaking dates at most of ■HTfte meeting held by tlie Republicans throughout the county. It is not i' positively announced whether nr not she will be at the Greenwich meeting * Saturday evening. So far as has yet been announced, ' the Democrats of this section have planned only one public meeting. That will be held at Proudfit hall, ifVSalem Saturday evening of this week. r The speakers will include Hon. James , E. Dwyer, John T. Norton, Senator 4 Mackerel and others. \ A meeting at which Mr. Schoon- maker was the principal speaker was held in Argyle last nisrht. and an other one is scheduled to be held this , evening in Fort Ann. Friday night of this week a meeting is to he held §m Hartford. , . Republican managers in this county are generally confident that a big vote will be polled for Coolidge and Dawes in the coming election, and while it is expected that they will lead the state ticket to some extent, it is also the opinion that the Re publican majority for governor ana other officers on that state ticket will be far larger than it was two years , ago. Four federal enforcement agents and one state trooper seized more than 300 cases of Canadian ale in the Fort Edward railroad yards early this morning, according to a report sent out. It is also stated that the officers went with soma op position in making the seizure. Patrolme-n Murray and Hart of the Hudson Falls police force got a tip about 2 o'clock this morning, the re port states, that a crowd of hi-jack- ers were endeavoring to. hold up two truck loads of ale between Fort Ed ward and Hudson Falls. Before the patrolmen reached the scene the two trucks drove by and the patrdlmen gave chas& overtaking the trucks in River street. Investigation showed that- the trucks were safely in possession of the federal men when overtaken and at the request of the agents the two Hudson Falls village officers acted as guard for several miles down the Glens Falls-Saratoga road. The fed eral men a.fter seizing the ale in the Fort Edwa rd yards loaded it on two large trucks.

High School Team Beaten Saturday —To (io to Hudson Falls Thin Week. * Gieenwich lost to Glens Falls high last Sal uni ay bya 7 to 0 score. The Glens Fall* touchdown lame in the third quarter as a result of an inter- i opted forward pass. The playing on Lffth sides wag erratic. _The Green- wich line was weak until near their goal line when they held Glen-, Fulls for down* three times. Glens Fails made must of their gains by hitting the line. Lireenwich did not show any great ground gaining ability. R Weaver rna.de one long e-nd run in the last quarter and several short gains. HoU'V'. k '> puntmg xx as a great help to Gi fen wich «nd tl,e lur^l boys show ed good speed m getting down tin* field for a tackle after a punt.

At the erad of the last quarter I.yke inter ejited another Greenwich pass .mi with ta two-Vnan interference it looked like another score but Hol brook, sinifie handed, disposed of the interference* and got the tackle just before Lyke crossed the goal line. Cleveland played an excellent defen sive game. All in all the local boys made a game fight, against a heavier and somewhat Faster team. The line-up was as follows: Greenwich- -Cleveland,* Jackson.

Cmpire— Barber, Greenwich. Head Line.man—Morrissey, Green wich. Next Saturday Greenwich will play Hudson Falls at Hudson Falls. That Washington county will poll a big'vote in the coining election, in spite of the fact that the campaign thus far has been rather quiet here, is indicated by heavy registration in practically all of the towns. Satur day was the last day of registration, and at the office of the commissioners of election in Fort Edward yesterday the last of the registration Jlgures were coming in. The total registration for the town of Greenwich this year is 2,750, which is a gain of 130 over the figures for last year. Every election district in the town shows an increase over last year’s figures, and the same is true of most of the towns. of the county. The increase is largest in the districts of Kingsbury which lie inside the vil lage of Hudson Falls, where personal registration is required. There the registration is much larger than last year, due no doubt to the fact that this is a presidential year, while last year was an \off year.” The registration fur other towns in *:his vicinity is as fullo-ws: Argyle, 1*75; Cambridge, 1 ; Easton, 1210; Fort Edward, 33U8; Hebron, 756; Jackson, .\34; Salem, 1598.

Mrs. Stone, who before her marriage was Mabel Granger, was given a verdict of $6,043 for services as housekeeper alleged to have been rendered in the Bardin home in the town of Argyle during the lifetime of Mr. Bardin. The widow cf Mr. Bardin is now ap pealing the decision. Mrs. Stone con tended tliat Bardin told her she was to be well paid for her services. How ever, Mr. Bardin did not remember her in his will but left the entire es tate to his second wife.

He was divorced from his first wife. County Judge E. C. Rogers and Attorney William E. Young repie-sent Mrs. Bardin and At torneys Walter A. Chambers and Ar thur N . Richards appear for Mrs. Stone. •h *h.- t -A |S ll- .i.li ' jn t n v . i - ii trht i'r it M L SCHOOLS TO CLOSE FOB CONFERENCE FRIDAY T e a c h e r s of F o u r T o w n s t o M e e t at T h o m s o n — S t a t e T e a c h e r s ' M e e t ing .Next W e e k .

Dillon vec^jved the fatal wound from a weaver’s knife which his as-.ulant had evidently smugerled out of t hi- prison work shop. He died in a fi-w minutes without making a statement a- to the identity nf his slayer.

A< to this prison i offii als are reticent It fa< said, .however, that there seems tn be -ume c.infection between tbe affair and the | life of Dillon at Sing Smg- prison, i whi ie he was confined hefore he went I to < omstoek. While at Sing Sing, j Dillon figured in tx\o stabbing affairs. The man accused of the killing has been M ’lgcted of one murder, having been im 4»ced from Queens county for tw^\ years to life following his conviction on a charge of murder in the second degree. He has been in prison eleven years and would be eligible for parole in 1 !>26. He has been at Great Meadow about a year, having been transferred from Clinton prison. He is thirty-five years old. Dillon was thirty-two years old. He | was sentenced in March, 1921, at liin- jeola, I-ong Island, for forgery, and he would have b? <*n at liberty on the 11th I of November. Part nf his term had been served at Sing Sing, and part • I at Pannemora. In April of this year \ .he was transferred to Great Meadow. 'His record as a prisoner was good, and the prison authorities say he had not heen known to have trouble with any of the other prisoners at Great Meadow. I In sujm-me court at Ballston Spa yesterday a jury teturned a verdict for $5,000 in favor of Mrs. Tilly D. Vanderbilt of Cambridge against John J. Lake, supervisor of the town of White Creek. Mrs. Vanderbilt ' sued for $2.>,Q0Q damages for injur- ' ies received when she was struck by an automobile driven by Mr. Lake. Ar-i-orcling to Mrs. Vanderbilt's testimony about fi o'clock on the evening of November 7, 1923, she was on her way from her home, about a mile south of the village of Cambridge, to a supper at the Cam bridge Methodist church when Lake’s bridge Methodist church when Lane’s car struck her. She was tak«n to the hospital in Cambridge where it was found she was sufferinp: from a compound fracture of both bones in her right ankle and numerous cuts and bruix-j. She was confined to tbe hospital until about the latter part of January, and it was < 'aimed ha-- not yet entirely recovered from tin- injuries Mrs. Vanderbilt \va- represented by Butler, Kilmer and Curliin of Saratoga, while Lake by Attorney- Reilly and Yaia of Albany. CORPORATION MEETING OF HOE FOfi AGED At the summit, of the Bitter Roots a glorious cluster uf mountains gath ered amund to Match us cross the state line into Idaho and slide down eight magnificent miles to Wallace, one turn after another, none of them steep, ferns in abundance and cedars with branches that looked like great drooping ferns. Ihe bank on the out side dropped hundreds of feet straight down but the road wa.s wide enough for three cars abreast so we enjoyed every curve. Guard rails art* almost an unirtowu quantity in the west unless on an oc casional bad approach to a bridge. At first you complain but finally get your sea legs and as you squint along the edge of a precipice feel that a railing would just obstruct the view.
