Yesterday.

In the Municipal court yesterday morn
ing nine tramps We're brought up before
Judge Robinson. They were the men
arrested by Officer Haggett for hanging
about the freight yards of the Boston and
Maine.
The men gave their names as James n.
Dewitt Robert Scott, John +. Leonard
James A. Brigway, Jesse A. Still. John
Davis. James Sullivan, Thomas Mulhearn
and James Adams. They pleaded guilty.
Some of them said that they had not been
warned away, but that ii. now allowed
the chance they would leave the city
The court imposed sentences of SIS and
one-ninth costs Oh each of the tramps but
suspended the sentences on recommends
ton of Marshal Sylvester who urged that
they be given an opportunity in consider
alton of the fact that this was their first
offense

PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

At meeting of the officers of the Port
land High School Cadets yesterday fore
noon, the matter of participating in
Sousa's spectacle at City Hall next week
was discussed. 1t will be decided at the
drill next Friday whether to accept the
invitation or not. Eighty five men will
be required.
The matter of camping out at Harp
swell this year was also discussed and al
though the instructor of the Cadets, Capt.
I. FL. Baker, is now in the United States
volunteer army, it is probable that the
boys will ENJOY camp life this summer
just the same, as undoubtedly some one
can be found to go with them in his
stead.
The indoor meet of the P. II. S.
Athletic Association will occur at AS
sembly hall next Friday evening. The
boys practiced for the event this after.
noon at the ArInory.

HOURS ARE SHORTENED.
Employees at the Maine Central Repair
shop Get Notice of Cut.

T.
Friday afternoon the employees of the
Maine Central repair shops in Waterville
were surprised by having notices posted
in the different parts of the shop that
after May 10 the time would be cut to
eight hours day. This reductloh OF
time at this season of the year IS great
surprise and causes not a little dlssatis-
Iactlon among the men. According TO Jhe
usual custom the time was shortened
curing the winter months and the 1ull
zen hour schedule was restored only a
rev weeks ago.
AG that time, and ever SINCE there has
oeen large amount of work at the shops
ana Ohe men are at a loss to know the
reason for the reduction of time, Besides
the general amount of repair work, which
has been unusually large during the
spring, there still remains vast amount
OF work to be done in equipping freight
cars with air brakes and automatic
couplers, job which must be done on all
cars in freight service before January ].
1t is estimated that nearly one-half of the
Maine Central freight cars are vet to be
equipped according to law. Besides this,
a short time ago the company began the
work of repainting all of the freight cars,
and If this work is to be continued each
car must be in the shops a day or two ex-
ira for that work to be done.
