wards and Schryser Indicted.
Washington. June l2.-The special commit
tee appointed by the Senate to investigate
the causes of the prevailing distress, had a
preliminary meeting today. The subject
referred to the committee was the petition
of Morrison L. Swift and others, Endorsed by
many meetings of workingmen in New Eng

dustrial Congress, in which the following
requests were made: To provide farms and
factories where unemployed now and at all
times hereafter may be able to apply their
labor productivity for the supply of their
Constitution of the United States SO it shall
affirm the right of everyone to have work.
To abolish Understanding bonds. To fur
nish immediate employment for the unem-
ployed by beginning the construction of
good roads on large scale throughout the
country. Tonationalize railroads, telegraph
lines and mines. To see alrland not in
actual use is thrown open to cultivation by
those willing to cultivate it. To establish
commission to investigate the advisabilitv
of nationalizing trusts.
1T was decided to invite from promoters
of these proposed measures of relief written
statements of their views and the committee
will give caring to one accredited repre-
sentative of any organization which may
desire to be heard for such limited time as
is possible to bestow on such hearings.

PORTLAND WEDNESDAY

courtroom at Pennington, Monday, which
perhaps never had its equal in court annals
in-Maine. A twelve-year-old boy was put
on the witness stand to tell the court that
his testimony in former trial by which a
man was convicted of theft. was a false
hood. However, in spite of the fact that he
had slgned'a paper to that effect before
Trial Justice Gordon at Livermore Falls,
and in spite of the fact that he was the one
witness upon which was depending the
whole case, he astounded the court. the
jury, the council and spectators by again
reiterating the story, that he told at the
original trial before Trial Justice O.. G..
Kyes at Jay. He further astounded every
one by asserting that the man charged with
theft had taken him up in the hay NOW in
his barn and put wire round his neck
and in fear of his apparent threat of hang
ing he had promised to take back what he
had said at the trial by which the man had
been convicted.

Say Boss CrokerDid not Run Away.

New York, June 12.-The friends OF
Richard Croker tis morning denied
most positively a published story to
the effect his deision to go to Europe
on Saturday was arrived at OH Thursday
night. after consultation with friends
and legal advises. They say that lis
was medical and rDt legal advice that
caused him to speld the summer abroad.
Mayor G ilroy sad of the story this
morning.: 81 do rDt sbelieve it. II Mr..
Croker had a conference with his friends

I was not there, aid after reading the
story it is my opipin that it is absolute

The mayor saw Mr.. Croker on Friday
night. and the later told him then that
he would sail Saturday morning.
Commissioner o. Public Works Michael
F. Daley, who,was at the dock to see Mr..
Croker off, said this morning, "The

AN INNOVATION.
A Merchant Vessel Fitted Out a With
Steam Launch.

Belfast, June 10. A steam launch ar
rived here Saturday from Charlestown,
Mass, for the barkentine Dorcas. 1t is
about 80 feet long, of good width and
excellent proportions. Saturday after
noon steam was gotten up and the
launch wa S given spin about the har-
bor. She proved all right and will make
from seven to eight miles per hour. The
craft is named Little Doris. The steam
launch will be carried On deck, and will
be most useful boat to this modernIy
equipped vessel.
The Doris is designed exclusively for
the Brazilian trade, and frequently meets
with much moderate weather. In a
calm the launch will be used to tow the
bark, and it is expected she can do con-
siderable business in that line. In port
the craft will be most useful. When
barges or lighters are used in transport
ing cargo the launch will tow them to
and from the ship. There are many ways
where boat may be useful. Modern
war vessels carry steam launches,
but the idea is quite novel in merchant
marine. The Doris is at least the first
built Belfast vessel to carry steam
launch,

ANATIONAL JUNKET.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin Goes to Alas

Washington, June 12.-Assistant Secretary
Hamlin has started on a continental junket.
The trip will be designated on the treasury
books, where the expenses will be audited
and paid, as an inspection tour" Never
theless, it is in the nature of junket. Mr..
Hamlin. together with a private secretary
who is stenographer, is to visit all of the
custom houses in the Western States, and is
also to go to Alaska, as it is innocently
given out at the Treasury Department, ITO
count the SEALS"
The fact should net be forgotten by the
professional reformers of Massachusetts, to
which class Mr.. Hamlin aspires to belong,
that the government maintains at large ex-
penses corps of special agents whose duty
it is to inspect custom houses. They are
now engaged in that work, as the people of
Boston understand as to their own custom
house. Regular inspections are made by the
agents appointed and paid for that purpose.
They are experts in the business of the
custom house. No other insection is needed
than that which they are employed to make.
The other inspections are pretence to
cover pleasure trips.
The government also has an agent in
Alaska. whose business it is to do every
thing that is necessary regarding the seals.
1t also has large fleet there now at great
expense. There is no business orr economic
reason why Assistant Secretary Hamlin
should go to Alaska in the excursion season
at the governments expense. But he has
started and the government will foot the
bills. And it will probably be called reform
The trip, which will cost the government
large sum of money, is as needless as the
trips which nearly every member of this
Cabinet and the chief subordinates have
made under. this administration, which has
engaged in the junketing business more ex-
tensively and more expensively than any of
its predecessors.
