WHITE RIVER. JUNCTION, Vt.
Sept, Cad—A revised tabulation with the
additional returns received today of
thevote cast for governor in yester-
bay’a state election. with 19 small
towns still missing. gives George H.
Prouty. Republican, 43,043; James E.
Burke. Democrat, 15.318; Qulmby S.
Backus, Independence Dengue. 1.222;
Eugene M. Campbell, Prohibitionlst.
801. and H. H. Dunan Socialist. 463.
The missing towns four years ago gave
3:", Retpubllcan, 2,613, and Porter.
. 652.
With the‘ ill towns missing the re
turns show that the Republicans had
71 per cent. the Democrats 25 per
cent. the Independence maguers. 2
percent" thel’roblbitlonists, one and
onoithlrd per cent. and the Socialists
two-thirds of one per cent. of the to-
tal vote cast. .
The Republican plurality of 29,000
compares favorably with previous
years, but the Repullcan and Demo-
oratlc votes both show a slight. falling
off from four years ago. The decrease
in the Republican vote amounted to
of: per cent. and in the Democratic
vote three per cent. The decrease
wits surprising in view of the numer-
ous local contests at which the voting
was heavy. Political leaders were in
cllued to look upon the. returns today
as indicating that. the voters were
somewhat apathetic In regard to na-
tional issues, but not to a marked de-
gree.
The Republican leaders received the
election returns today with considers.
bie satisfaction. while Lieutenant.
Governor Prouty expressed himself as
highly gratified with the endorsement
which he had received at the polls.

furnished quite an interesting mystery
for the police to solve.
Not a mark was left on the door
through which the burglars entered
nor was there the sign of a. tool on
the safe, which was open this morn-
ing. when Mr. Oldenschlager made the
discovery of the visit shortly after 6
o'clock. This is the second time that

his establishment and the safe when
he went home last evening. If such
was the case the burglars were cer-
tainly clever. A week or two ago
when money was taken from the
Sieegmuller-Tobey box company‘s
safe, the firm was positive that the
safe was locked the night before.
Chief of Police William Vollruer
made an investigation of the Olden-
schiagcr robbery this morning and he
has been completely bathed by the
strange features of the case. if there
is a local burglar who hurt the ability
to open safes. he is certainly a dan-
gerous proposition and is well worthy
the attention of a Sherlock Holmes.
The key was even left in the open
rear door this morning when Mr. Ol-
denschlager arrived at his place of
business. Chief of Police Vollmor
thought possibly that the burglars had
secreted themselves in the place last
evening before it was locked up. The
sum of $25 was removed from the safe
and the $2.60 was in a cash drawer.
So far as could be discovered no
stock or cigars were removed by the
Intruders. _
The inside of the safe fared differ-
ently from the main door. The inter-
ior casting was torn Off, and the draw-
ers were ripped out without any case

STAMFORD, Sept. 2.-—-Leo Ditrich-
stein, the playwright and actor. was
arrested early yesterday morning, at
his home, Hamilton avenue and Main
street. on a warrant charging violation
of the antiduelllng statute. The war~
rant was issued by Prosecuting Attor-
ney Galen A. Carter. and the specific
charge is that on August 10 Mr. Dit-
ric’hstein did challenge Frederick Scha-
volr to fight him with certain danger-
ous weapons. to wit. with guns. against
the peace and contrary to the statute
in such case made‘and provided.
The alleged challenge to fight a
duel followed an encounter between
Mr. Ditrichstein and Major Frederick
Schavolr in a garage here. They re-
paired to an isolated part of the gar-
age, ostensibly to look at quarters
for an automobile club. and while
they were so engaged Mr. Difricb-
stein was knocked down and Major
Schavolr sat on him. Attendants who
ran up stairs from the garage in an.
ewer to Mr. liitrlchsteln's cries. found
Major Schavoir sitting on the play-
wright. pounding llirn, .
“You will drive her out of town.
will you?” he is quoted as saying as
he struck Dltrlchstein in the face.
When the two men were separated.
Dltrlchsteln went right home and
wrote Major Schavoir a challenge to
settle their grievance ill a pistol duel.
He claimed Major Scbavoir took him
unawares in the garage. and did not
give him opportunity to defend him-
self. ' Major Scbavoir wrote a re-
sponse to the challenge. in it he belit-
tled Mr. Ditricheteln and ridiculed his
proposal. Then Major Schavoir went
away on a vacation. and every one
supposed the incident was closed.
Major Schavoir returned to town the
other day. and, it is understood, laid
the challenge before Prosecuting At~
torney Carter. Then a warreut was
issued for Ditrlchsteln's arrest.
Chief of .Police Brennan and Detro-
tivc Holst-nan drove: over tour. Tilt»-
rlchetein‘s house about It) o'clock

Mr. Difrichsteln answered their ring.

which was open the» length of thc
chain which secures it. Chlt'f Bren-
nan explsined, who he was and told
Mr. Dltrichstein he had a warrant for
his arrest.
"I don't know you." said the play-
wright. “I cannot let you in. at least
not until i. have consulted my law-
yer."
Then the door was closed in the
face of the police. The chief hesitnt
ed to break in tho door. He com~
municstcd with Proaccutor Carter
and Mr. Cartcr advised that he got
policemen and watch the house all
night. So he. sent. for res-enforce
ments and when all were. on hand he
had quite a body of policemen. There
were Detectives llctfernan and Po
ley. Policemen Smith and Kelletic,
and the chief‘hlulself. They remain-
ed on watch all night. patrolling about
the big house. At daybreak all the
officers but Brennan and iieffernan
were sent home. They remained on
guard. .
Mr. Ditrichstciu apparently had- no
intention of giving himself up. and
the two policemen were getting very
sleepy. They did not know it then. but
the playwright was just as sleepy as
they. lie was up all the night watching
them‘.‘
About 7:45 James S. Jenkins, Mr.
Ditrichstein's counsel. drovo up in his
motor car. Chief Brennan explained
the situation to Mr. Jenkins and then.
after the lawyer had. consulted with
his client, Mr. Ditrtchsieln gave him-
self up. He invited Chief Brennan
into the house to make the arrest and
apologized for keeping him out so
long.
Mr. Dltrichsteln got his motor car
and drove Chief Brennan and- Detec-
tive Heifernan to police headquarters
There his pedigree was tnktn. His
sister-in-law, Mrs. Margaret Wehrlc

There was no Roman Catholic bur-

the grave had already been opened
and made ready for the reception of
what once represented his human
body. instead the coffin with its con-
tents were lowered. without the church
ceremony. into a grave at Pine island
Cemetery. because it is maintained
that he was guilty of a very serious
church offence.
Following serlsationully on the
changed program of events came the
rumor frccly among the Hungarians

for granted, but was a case of suicide.

the Board of School Visitors.
Dear Sir: Replying to your inquiry
relating to the power of the Board of
School Visitors to delegate to a com-
mittee of their number the power to
act for the board. we would say that
in our opinion the board cannot dole
gate power. The board can only act
as a board, the action of a quorum rep- 4
resenting and being the board. ‘Pow~
era given to the board must .be exer-
cised by a majority of the board.
The question of the power of public ._
caldera to delegate their'powen Ml
been before the courts In thevntate."
and we think their decisions leave,
no doubt about the matter. See Pin.
