SPECIAL ERECTION.
Seleetmen Arranging for It-Action on
 Street R. K. Extension Postponed.


 Street R. K. Extension Postponed.
 The board of selectmen last evening postponed action on the Pond Lily mills extension to the tracks of the New Ha- ven Street Railway company for one week. This was done because of re- port from the committee on roads and bridges, to whom the matter was re- ferred several weeks ago, to the effect that the culvert used in the present bridge over the stream near the mills was inadequate to allow the water to pass through and backs it upon the meadows.
 The committee visited the premises last week and had determined to rec ommend the layout of the tracks on the bridge when the size of the culvert was called to their attention. It is now thought that a new culvert is needed. It Is the opinion of the towns commit tee that the street railway company should bear a part of the expense. Se- lectmen Cunningham, Sucher and Kin ney suggested that meeting be held on Friday evening for the purpose of acting upon the matter at a conference with the street railway officials. This disposition of the case did not suit the other members of the board and mo- ton to postpone until Tuesday evening prevailed.
 Town Counsel Goodhart informed the board that he and the parties in inter- est in the layout of Dover street through the Pardee tract in Westville had failed to come to an agreement and that he would probably be compelled to resort to the courts. MT Goodhart said that he should suggest the names of County Commissioner Dunham, c. K. Bush and Marcus Baldwin for com- missioners.
 The board voted to instruct the clerk to advertise the coming election under the consolidation act in the outlying wards al least five days before the elec- ton will take place. Clerk Perry was also instructed to receive the returns of the election at the town agents of flee. President Ludington, Selectmen Such and Kinney were appointed a committee on polling places.
 It was voted on motion of MT. Sucher, that all orders for advertising be in the hands of the town agent.
 J. T. Newton petitioned to have Ramsdell street hardened. It was re- ferred to the committee on roads, rivers and bridges.

INDIANA MUST LAT UP,
Navy Department Has No Funds to Dock
 and Clean Her.

Washington, June S.-The navy de- partment is in a quandary about the Indiana. It Is desired to dock and clean her, and in fact the ships condi- tion requires that this should have been done months ago. Then there was no dock available, owing to the failure of the New York dock but now with the Port Royal dock reported ready for the ship the department is not able to do the work for lack of funds. It will cost about 5000 to send the necessary force of workmen down from the Norfolk navy yard to Port Royal to clean and paint the ship in dock, but even this expenditure is too large for the con- struction bureau to meet before the be- ginning of the next fiscal year. so it is probable that the Indiana must lie at New York until that time, unfit for service in an emergency.

GREECE AT SILTAN'SM MERCY
FEAR THAT PEACE NEGO1IAT TIONS
 WILL COLLAPSE.

Powers Endeavoring to Have Turkey Sigu
 General Peace Conditions and Then Treat
 With Greece Direct-Premier Ralli Says
 it is Greece's Duty to be Prepared to
 Continue the War.
 London, June 9.-The peace negotia- tions do not seem to make much prog ress, and there was considerable dis quietude in Athens last evening caused by the apparently reliable statement that the negotiations were in danger of collapsing altogether. The ministers who were questioned on the subject, ficial character and expressed the opin- ion that the report was without foun- dation. It is said on good authority that the powers are now trying to in- duce Turkey to sign general peace con- ditions, defining the broad limits with- in which Turkey and Greece should af- forwards settle details by direct nego- tiation.
 This news is regarded at Athens with dismay as a breach of faith on the part of the powers and as leaving Greece to the tender mercies of the sultan. It is believed by many good judges at Athens that Greece may yet have to fight for her very existence. Already there are reports that the Turks have advanced in the Agrapha district, oc- cupied several villages and are still ad- vancing toward the town of Agrapha. Greece has protested to the powers against this violation of the armistice and Colonel Tosamados, the minister of war, has gone to Lamia.
 Premier Ralli,who has conveyed the thanks of the government to the Greeks of New York city for five cannons, says: "The government does not forget that armistice Is not peace and that is Is its duty to be prepared for every even- tuality."
 The Greek newspapers all publish the statement by General Miles. that the positions of Ihermopylae are impreg- nable.

UNITED WORKMEN
Twenty fifth Stated Meeting of the Su-
 preme Lodge Opened.


 preme Lodge Opened.
 Milwaukee, June 8.-The twenty-fifth stated meeting of the supreme lodge, Ancient Order of United Workmen of the United States and Canada, opened in Milwaukee to-day with all the su- preme officers and members of stand ing committees, as well as about one hundred and sixty delegates, present. The sessions, which are held in the lodge hall of the University building, will continue for a week or ten days.
 It is understood that there is an un- usually large amount of executive work on hand, including final action upon a move made by the grand lodge of the order in Ontario to secede from the su- preme body and doing away with all name and reference to the supreme lodge, and conduct a grand lodge of it's own in the Dominion, independent of the order in the states. This, it is claimed by the supreme officers. would be tantamount to open rebellion, and strong efforts are being made to avoid such results. Action upon the matter was postponed by the grand lodge in Canada until the matter could be fully heard before the supreme body iii its Milwaukee session at this time.

Decisive Action Taken by the Senate-Sen-
 ,ators Get Excited.
 Washington, June S.-By a decisive vote of 42 to 19 the senate to-day adopt ed an amendment to the tariff bill plac- ing raw cotton, the great product of the south, on the dutiable list at 20 per cent. ad valorem. It is the first time in the history of tariff legislation that a duty on cotton has been incorporated in a bill. The amendment was .propos- ed by MT. Bacon, dem., of Georgia, on his individual responsibility and with out the approval of the finance com mittee, which thus far has been requi- site to the success of every amendment except minor one which went through by default.
 The amendment led to spirited discussion. Democratic senators dis closed a wide difference of views, and at times exchanged sharp personal crit icism. On the final vote six democrats Bacon and Clay of Georgia, McEnery of Louisiana, McLaurin and Tlllman of South Carolina and Rawlins of Utah voted with the republicans for the Ba- can amendment, while the negative vote was solidly democratic, with one eyception-Kyle, pop. The debate on cotton took up the most of the day and but little progress was made on the bill. Early in the day the sugar sched- ule was passed over and the argricul- tural schedule taken up. Less than two pages were disposed of during the day. The paragraph on cattle went over but the balance of the agricultu- ral schedule up to and including para graph 22S was agreed to as reported, all amendments except that of MT. Bacons being reflected.

COACH COOK ALARMED.
Same Old Symptoms Concerning the Con-
 dition of the Yale Crew.

Gales Ferry, Conn.,, June S.-It was long after dark again tonight when the Yale crew finished their row on the Thames and the work was fully as hard as yesterday although the crew did not cover the four mile course. An improvement iii the form was notice- able, though slight.
 It is believed that Coach Cook is alarmed at the present state of the Yale crew. He has been compelled to continue the drill in the pair oar work much more than in previous seasons, as he is convinced the men are not yet in condition for the long spins. At present particular attention is being paid to perfection in body work and skill in handling the blades.
 Reports have been received on the hilltop of the good work that Harvard is doing and every effort is being made to round the crew into better form. All the work is now being done in the cedar shell as the new paper board ord- cred from Waters of Troy has not yet arrived. It is expected to row the race In the present cedar shell and the pa per boat is wanted for practice. The old shell with its high seats has been discarded and will be left for the use of the freshmen.
 The river was in splendid condition when the crew started out about 6:30 tonight. The route was up the river beyond the regular course and the work consisted in rowing stretches of a mile or mile and half. There were very few pauses for coaching and when the men returned they were well tired.
 Tomorrow will be moving day with the crew. Captain Bailey has found the present quarters in Captain Christo- pher Browns house inadequate, and the house will be given over to the freshmen and the Varsity will remove to the old quarters in Captain Latham Browns, adjacent. This is the first time the freshmen have ever been quar- tered on the bluff next to the Varsity.

In the prayer by the chaplain ref erence was made to the recent lynch ing at Urbana, Ohio, praying that the country might be delivered from out bursts of passion and the desire for re- venge on the part of its citizens.

 Yesterday Senator Warner offered a bill creating a public act which pro- vides that in all cases of the kind the governor may appoint ad libitum. The bill was passed under the suspension of the rules and transmitted to the house.
 Senator Keeler said, on behalf of the committee of conference on the good roads bill, that the conferees had agreed upon a measure which had al- ready passed the house and which was thought to be the proper solution of the good roads problem. He said that 1t provided for one commissioner and an appropriation of $100,00O, one-half of the expense to be borne by the state and one-half by the towns.
 The bill was passed and transmitted to the office of the secretary of state. The substitute for abolishing the state board of agriculture, with house amendment, was discussed by Senator Lake, who objected to changing the present method of selecting the board. The house amendments were approved, 14 to 4, and the bill was passed. The senate adhered to the recommit- tai of the bill relating to railroad re-
 turns, which had been rejected by the house. The bill imposing a state tax was re- | jected in concurrence. | The house resolution for final ad- | journment on Thursday was tabled by | Senator Marigold.

SENTENCED TO TWENTY YEARS.
Heavy Penalty Imposed on a Young Man
 for Felonious Assault.

Hagerstown, Md, June Slack Le- mon of Williamsport was found guilty upon both counts in the indictment charging him with felonous assault with intent to kill Miss Lizzie Taylor, also of Williamsport. The case was tried before the court, and Judges Sloan and Stake immediately passed sentence upon the accused, condemning him to twenty years In the penitentiary, ten years on each charge.
 The crime of which Lemon was con- victed was committed about four weeks ago. The testimony showed that Le- mon induced Miss Taylor to go from her home with him for a walk and while crossing a. vacant lot near where she lived he is said to have made an improper proposal, which the young la dy indignantly resented, whereupon her companion whipped out a clasp knife and slashed it three times across her throat, inflicting dangerous wounds, from which she has, however, almost recovered.
 Lemon is said to have been drinking at the time he made the assault.
 The families of both parties are of the highest social position in Williams port. Lemon is twenty-two years of age, and Miss Taylor pretty bru- nette, is his junior by four years.

HOLY CROSS DEFEATS HARVIRD. It Was Great Contest and Battle of
 Opposing Pitchers.


 Worcester, Mass, June S.-Two thou sand people saw Holy Cross defeat Harvard to-day by a score of to ? in one of the hottest games that has been played on the local campus this year. It was a pitchers battle between Lin nehan and Paine, and the Holy Cross man had by long odds the better of it. The Harvards could do nothing with his curves, and he struck out eleven of them. Poor fielding gave the Harvards the only two runs they made. Paine was hit harder than the score shows, the men behind him being called upon to do some very sharp fielding at times. The score:
 Holy Cross. 70 i 0 O-3 Harvard .....0 0 0 0 0-2 Hits-Holy Cross, 8; Harvard, 8. Err rors-Holy Cross, 4; Harvard, 6. Bat teries-Linnehan and Brennan; Paine and Davis.

PAINTEDJOHN HNRARYARD'S STATUE.
A Special Student Confesses to the yandal-
 ism-WilI Leave the College.

Cambridge. Mass, June S-A special committee which was named last week by President J. II. Perkins of the junior class at Harvard to investigate the recent painting of John Harvard 8 statue, reported tonight that a special student in his first year had confessed. He acknowledged that he decorated the statue with red paint on the night of May 29, In celebration of Harvard's vic- tory over Princeton on the diamond.
 The committee refused to make pub lie the name of the guilty student, but acknowledged that he was requested to leave the university, which he agreed to do. Two members of the freshmen class. whose names the committee also withheld, are also implicated, and when confronted with accumulated evidence they handed in their resignations. A fourth man, it is said, may also be asked to explain what connection he had with the affair.
 The committee was composed of B. class; J. E. Norton Shaw, the guard of the football eleven, and Charles Grilky of the Crimson.
 The statue has been the mark of col 1ege vandals in times past, and on this occasion when it was found painted in red on three sides mitigation was in- tense. After a thorough search of the local paint stores and the discovery of a suspicious spot of paint on a young students clothes which resulted in the confession, the other men were cor nered.

IS SCHL.lT1'ER LIVING?
Man Who Claims to be the Mystic Healer
 in Cleveland.


 Cleveland, June 8.-A man who de- clares that he is Francis Schlatter, the healer who was reported to have starv- ed to death, arrived in Cleveland to- day and is stopping at a boarding house on Huron street. With him is man named Hollanberger, who says that they intend to open an institute in this city.
 It is difficult to prove or disprove the claim of the alleged healer because, if he is Schlatter he has shaved his beard, but there is certainly strong resemblance between his features and some of the published pictures of Schlatter. He laughed when his atten- tion was directed to the starvation story, and declared that he had been visiting his mother at Bordeaux, a few miles from Nashville, Tenn.
