CLAIMS ALMY DIDN'T HANG.
Interested in Bicycle Costumes and the
Russell Sage Bomb Incident.

Boston, Aug. 4-Somerville was treated
TO a sensation yesterday, the like of which
the Inhabitants never witnessed before. 1t
was the appearance OF woman prone
nading the streets in mans attire 1t was
the famous DIR. Mary Walker, the only
woman In the United States allowed to
dress in mans clothing, and this privi-
lege has been granted her by special act
Of congress.
She arrived In Somerville "Wednesday
night and made her headquarters at the
Hotel Warren. The object of her visit,
she stated to a reporter, was to see Somer-
slle, but yesterday morning, In company
with Mrs. s ID. Carter, she drove to the
house Of Mrs James K. Norcross on Sar-
gent avenue.
Ii was learned that here she broached
the question OF the bomb throwing In the
office OF Russell Sage, in New York, by
Henry l.. Norcross. The mother of the
dead man
Would Not Talk on the Subject,
and shortly after she returned to the hotel,
where at dinner she entertained Mr. and
Mrs. S. ID. Carter, Mr.. and Mrs j. c.
Hopkins and Mr.. w. ID. Davis.
After dinner the party walked to the
Union Glass works factory on Webster
avenue and witnessed the making of lamps
and other glassware.
For guides the party had Superintendent
Hopkins snd j. Il. Doherty. The return

Rolls,

Money IL Hard to Get 10 Meet the mill Pay
Rolls.
Some OF the mill corporations are ex-
periencing some difficulty in getting
money, especially small bills or silver cor
rency, from the banks to pay off with.
One man was heard today to offer $3.50
for three hundred silver dollars. Some OF
the mill people are talking OF paying of
In checks.
Notwithstanding reports to the effect
that currency is becoming more plenty,
the bank men OF Fall River are positive
that 1t isn't growing more plenty there.
On the contrary, 1t is scarcer than ever,
and the factories are hard put to 1t to SO.
cure enough for their pay rolls.
Yesterday IL was announced that ar
rangements had been made to issue
checks to the help. they will be printed
and drawn for 81, e., 80 and $40. With
this paper II Is believed that the opera
tives will experience no difficulty In pur-
chasing household supplies, and butchers
and provision dealers can deposit the
checks to their account.

as good as bills, and IL this scheme can be
made to work, the factories which have
contracts can run indefinitely. Some of
them figure that while there IL not much
money In continuing, there is more
money in manufacturing than I'm stop
ping, while Others are anxious to fill en-
gagements which are yielding a fair
profits.
The check system makes II impossible
to predict what course will be pursued. II
II Is practicable, II is plain that the ex-
ample which has been set by the mills
now'idle will not be followed by all hands.
A day or two ago 1t looked like a general
curtailment, for reasons which have been
stated, but the home made funds have
changed the complexion OF affairs.
Yesterday 1t was reported that the
Granite Mills, one OF the most substantial
corporations In the city, would close its
gates on Saturday next, and the Laurel
Lake served notice that 1t would not run
after this week. AS a result good many
spinners and weavers will find that they
are on a vacation next Monday, though
they are few when compared with the en-
tire number employed.

trip from the factory was not so quiet as
the going for IL had been noised about
that the "man in the Prince Albert coat
and plug hat" was woman. The side
walks were lined with women and chi-
dren, who were eager to catch a glimpse
OF the woman, and stared and snickered
when they beheld her walking along with
Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Hopkins.
DIR. Mary Is Full of Ideas
and manly views of things, and greatly
amused the ladies when she sxpectorated
like man.
She maintains that the real murderer of
Christie Warden was not hanged, but that
Abbott, the innocent man. was. She gives
as reason for this belief that there was a
great conspiracy between some people in
New Hampshire to reap the reward offered
for the murderer, and that Abbott volun-
teered to confess to the crime for certain
amount OF money. never dreaming that
his life would be sacrificed.
She says that Almy was in her house the
night before the murder, aud the night
after, and that he Is still at liberty. She
Is going to argue the case before the su-
preme court in New Hampshire In Janu-
airy next, she says.
While talking to reporter, a lady rode
by on bicycle She was clad In the reg

CROP WILL BE LIGHT.
Greeniags Promise TO Be the Only Paying Ap-
pos 10 Maine lhis Season.

AUGUSTA, he., Aug At is as good rs
settled that the Maine apple crop is to be
u "a one, the fruit now being sufficiently
far advanced to show this. The drouth
which has prevailed the past month has
causei AN unusual dropping Of the small
setting OF fruit, which seriously dimin-
ishes even the small crop promised earlier
Ia the season.
Baldwins are a general failure. This
holds true not only throughout Maine
but In other states growing this variety Of
a pie. Rhode Island greenings are giving
the best promise Of any Of the leading
varieties. X xbury russets are almost a
complete failure II. 5. Smith, the Mon
mouth russet grower, says that in all his
experience he has never had his trees 20
barren Of fruit as this season. Miscellane-
Gus varieties are doing something but
they are Of small account for shipping pur-
y .cs
II IL predicted that the crop Of shipping
apples in this state will not exceed one
fourth the crop Of last year, a falling OF
which will be seriously felt in sections
where fruit il the leading crop.

ANNUAL FIELD DAY.
Horse Thief Detecting Society at Crescent
Park.

Horse Thief Detecting Society at Cresce nj
Park.
The Rehoboth, Seekonk, Pawtucket and
East Providence Society for the Detection
OF Horse Thieves went to Crescent Park
yesterday for the celebration of It's 14th
annual field day. Four hundred detectors
were present from all over the IL square
miles of territory that is embraced In the
name OF the association, In itself a terror
to evIldoers.
After dinner, according to the time
honored custom, the election OF new
members took place. The following
names were added to the roll: DIR. Doran
B. Coke, Riverside; Edmund ID. Horton,
Seekonk; Samuel N. Knapp, Seekonk and
Welcome Barney, Rehobeth.
The society originated In 1875, under
the name of the Rehoboth Society for
the Detection OF Horse Thieving. The
OF the different towns were cut of from
that Of Rhoboth; Seekonk in 1912, Paw
tucket In 1928, and East Providence I'm
1862.
They have q history which Is worth
while to talk over, and that Is the princi-
pal reason for the annual meeting, election
of officers and dinner In October at the
old Town Hall, East Providence, and the
annual field day in August down the
river.
II is the proud boast OF the society that
IL never lost but-one horse and there is a
good deal OF doubt about that.
Each member upon his election pays
80 cents for each additional horse. This
is all the expense that mem bership In

The present officers of the association
are:
President--Stephen y. Rich, East Provi-
