OPENS TODAY.
Great Interest in Grand Army
Encampment.
Chances of VIM. H, Bartlett for Depart.
ment Commander Good-The
Delegates.

The department encampment of the
Grand Army opens today at fremont
Temple, Boston, and if indications show
anything, the session will be one that
will make all others sink out of sight
as far as the display of fireworks and
the like is concerned. Some pretty
warm things are sure to be said against
the 'house of lords" and there is sure
to be something said in response. Grand
Army men throughout the state look
forward to the event with considerable
interest. Just what the chances OF
Past Commander VIM. Fl. Bartlett OF
this city are, it is hard to foretell, but
from all appearances he has good
show. 1t is pretty hard to jump an
outsider in over the senior vice, who is
in direct line for promotion, and the
Worcester candidate will not be success
full unless the opposers to the lords
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-02-08

are strong and numerous enough to
carry the day
The opposition has established head
quarters at the Quincy House. There
the three highest candidates in the new
movement, Commander w. H. Bartlett
Senior Vice Joseph Freeman Bartlett OF
Turner's Falls and Junior Vice George
NJ Fiske of Newton, will receive dele
gates. Lots of hard work will be put IN
bv both sides, as the order not only OF
the state, but the country is awaiting
the result.
The regular representatives from Post

lett of the Chandler street school; 3

LAMSoN's HEAD FALLS.
He is No Longer PatroIman on the Local
Police Force Mayor Dodge Acts.

Patrolman Daniel L. Lamson who
has been under suspension for some
time past, charged with grossly immor-
al conduct, is no longer a member of
the police force. Mayor Dodge filed
with the City Clerk, Monday evening,
the following notice:
i, Rufus b. Dodge, Jr., as mayor of
the city of Worcester, do hereby re-
move Daniel L. Lamson, a patrolman.
from the police department of the city
of Worcester. The cause of such re-
moval is grossly immoral conduct and
neglect of duty.
Rufus B. Dodge, Jr., Mayor.
1t is very probable that Lamson will
not ask for hearing. His counsel,
Webster Thayeq, is reticent on the sub
ject.
The delay in action has come about
by misunderstanding as to where the
authority for removing a patrolman
lay. The former opinion of City Solic-
itor Hopkins was to the effect that the
power to remove patrolman lay with
the mayor, and then a hearing could
be demanded, and if two-thirds vote
was secured, reinstatement made. City
Solicitor Rugg was consulted about the
matter. and thought the new city char
ter made some change in the ruling,
but he has now taken the same posi-
ton as Mr.. Hopkins.
CLINTON STREET RAILWAY.
The petition for a franchise from the
Worcester and Clinton Street Railway
Company, which was presented to the
board of aldermen Monday evening, is
! Identical with the one handed III in 1896
and granted BY some oversight, the
acceptance which was filed by the com
/ pany was not signed by all the direc-
| tors, and consequently the franchise
was not approved. 1t is said that there
was no disagreement, but that the mat
/ ter was simply an oversight. The COM
pany proposes to commence building
( during the coming summer.

.ZOLA NOT HOPEFUL
The Novelist Does Not Believe a
Fair Trial Possible.
The Government Using every Means, He
Declares, to Prevent the Giving of Tes-
timony-openlng Of the Trial

London, Feb. 7-David Christie Muir
ray, the novelist and playwright, had
an interview yesterday with Emil lola,
which is published today in the Daily
News.
lola, it appears, was anything but
hopeful Of the outcome of his trial, and
said:
I'VE knew everything concerning the
Dreyfus case, but it is impossible to de-
scribe the pressure to impose silence
upon the men who are able and ready
to reveal the truth. Our documentary
evidence is not even looked at, and our
witnesses have refused to testify, or
have been ordered to be silent. There
is no room for doubt. There is no ques-
ton or possibility of question. The
facts are clear and absolutely beyond

WORCESTER AND CLINTON
New Petition Presented at Meeting of the
City Government.

Through change in the rules of the
railroad commissioners, a new petition
by the Worcester and Clinton Street
Railway for a location in Lincoln
street from Adams square through Lin
coin street to Kelley's corner, and
thence to the city line, has been made
necessary; and it was presented at the
meeting of the city government, Mon
day evening.
The directors of the company, how
ever do not anticipate the slightest diff
ficulty in securing the franchise, which
the city government has already once
granted them. Recently the railroad
commissioners have made it nee
essary that franchises accept
ed by new companies with
the accompanying conditions. should
be signed by all the directors
and not merely by a majority of them,
as heretofore. The paper presented by
the Worcester and Clinton promoters
did not include the signatures of all of
the directors; and for the sake of uni
formity, if for no other reason. the rail-
road commissioners asked the company
to present another franchise. 1t is on
this account that the matter has been
brought up again at this time.

proves the imposition on them by SEN
sational newspaper reports. A certain
sheet, with a circus bill-head, recently
told its readers that the picture received
from Omaha and reproduced above. was
surely Mueller, and that nearly every
one of Mueller's acquaintance positive
ly identified the photograph as that of
the man who is suspected Of the horri-
BILE Newton family butchery last month.
False hopes were raised by these faxed
up reports, which will be rudely dashed
to the ground when the Spy tells the
people the cold facts in the case.
Capt. w. H. Proctor of the state force
arrived here this afternoon on the 5.0S
train from Boston, and Immediately
went to the local office Of the state po
lice, where he was greeted by a Spy
man who got the tip that he was COM
ing The pencil pusher asked Capt
Proctok about two pictures he had
brought up from Boston to show to De
tective Murray, and his reply was a look
of blank amazement The officer was
mystified as to how the Spy man had
secured his information, but candidly
told the facts of the case The photos
were of the man held at Bellville, H..
as a Mueller suspect The suspect evil
IDENTIFY objected to being photographed
and was held by a man larger than him
self, both of whom showed in one pic
ture. Another picture. a snap shot, was
made as the prisoner was walking to his
cell. Neither of the officers believes
that the man at Bellville is the man
wanted His general description does
not tally with that sent out by the po-
lice of the man Mueller. However, De-
tective Murray wired Deputy Sheriff w
r. Tarben at Omaha, Neb., last night,

cally be no expense for Mr.. Tarbell TO
come home by way of st. Louis and take
a look at the man in limbo.
Detective Murray and the chief of the
state police fore have received many
descriptions during the past few hours.

and now that 1t is exploded. the officera
in the case are disheartened and fully
realize that nothing short of good luck
