NO LONGER SERIOUS.
GiIl-SWan ImbrOgliO Has Now
Reached the Ridieu-
lOus Stage.

When DR.. H. z. Gill appeared in the
corridors Of the state house basement
bearing a lighted candle this morning.
he was not repeating the portion Of his
tory which records that DiOgones was
out under similar circumstances look
ing for an honest man. On the con-
trary the misguided doctor was looking
for the end of the corridor adjoining the
door opening into the new office of the
state board of health.
Last night the employees of the state
house removed the electric light globes
and left the doctor in darkness. This
morning the corridor in which he has
been sleeping and working on a table
was dark as dungeon but the doctor
did not feel that he could neglect his
official duties.
He came down town and spent two
cents for a candle This he lighted at
the entrance to the state house and
grCped his way through the gloom to
his table. But, the table was gone. It
too had been carried off and the doctor
did not relish the idea Of working and
sleeping on the tiled floor.
Gill then grOped his way out OF the
gloom and borrowed two chairs from a
neighbOring Office. He returned to the
outer door Of DR.. Swans Office and
chair. The other was occupied by the
candle and also by the paper uDon
which he was trying to write.
Crowds OF curious people dOcked
around the doctors imDrOvised office
and piled him with questions
Why don't you go in the Office ?"
some one asked.
"One DR.. Swan has the key" was the
reply by the doctor.
why don't you get him out Of the
way2' said another
The executive council won't let me"
was the response
Why don't you get the board of
health together and have Swan dred2''
said a politician
The board has elected Swan and
probably wouldn't do that" was the
doctors plaintive rejoinder
why don't you get off the earth %
yelled a small boy, whereat the doctor
looked 50 savagely at the curious people
that they concluded it was wise to dis
perse.
Later the doctor posed before his can
die for fash light photograph taken

the hearse didn't hurt the fish. but
when the story got out the usefulness
of the hearSe was gone. Those VINO
had friends To- bury sent to Bangor

swAMPED WITH vEToEs.
House and Senate Occupied Dealing With
Vetoed Bills.

Boston, May 31.-This bids fair to be
a star week for gubernatorial vetoes,
1t is announced on authority that the
governor has a veto message written
on the bill to abolish the Boston board
of estimate and apportionment, and
rumors of a veto of the Cape Cod Canal
bill are frequent
The veterans preference bill came
into the senate this morning and after
the veto message was read was tabled
The labor men in the house will make
a strong effort to pass the bill exempt
ing labor organizations from the opera
tion Of the insurance laws. Their sue
cess is doubtful, although the bill was
passed by a good majority.
Mr. Meilen Of Worcester. said he mad
listened with care to the reading of the
governors message expecting to hear
some convincing reason for the veto.
Instead of this, he said, he heard not
single specific objection to the bill.
He asked that consideration be post
poned until Thursday, that the message
might be seen in print. The motion
prevailed.
The bill to continue the publication
Of the Province laws in which histor-
ians and entiquarians all over the state
and especially the Worcester Historical
society, are interested, proved a bone
of contention today. At the forenoon
session it was referred to the next leg
islature.

Capt. Price and Ma

Hot Words.
LATTER CALLED A PERJURER.
Prison Abuses and Methods
of Granting Licenses
Discussed.

New York, May 31.-The sensation in
tae.testimony heard by the Mazet com-
mittee today came just before the adj
journment Of that body until tomorrow.
Captain Price was on the stand. He
had been called for the purpose Of ex-
planning some of the testimony given
against him by Simon Buttner, proprie-
tor of the Broadway Garden. at priv
ate session of the committee. Capt.
Price described Buttner's evidence as
false in every particular He said that
Mr.. Moss, the counsel for the Mazet
committee, knew that Buttner was per-
juring himself, and yet allowed him to
go on the stand and make false state
ments. Mr.. Moss then said:
II will say to you, captain, right here
that would not care to meet you OUT
side of this court room"
"Why, Frank Moss?" retorted the
captain why. because 1 saved your
life once? That was my duty as an Of
ficer, and would do it again any
where"
Chairman Mazet attempted to stop
the colloquy by saying to Capt. Price
that the committee was through with
him on the witness stand
To this Mr.. Moss objected He In
sisted that he had no knowledge of
what Buttner proposed to testify to- He
asked that Capt, Price be requested to
appear before the committee with a
full record of every one Of the 104 ar
rests he said he made In Simon Butt
ner's Broadway Garden. Capt Price
was apparently losing his temper and
shouted "Will you hear me out?"
On being given an affirmative answer,
he said
Then I win have to carry you back
some years and show you where that
man Indicating Mr. Moss) allowed a
man to commit perjury before the
grand jury. | want to show this mans
true character. l am here against
Frank Moss
Mr.. Moss energetically denied Capt.
Prices Rtateneft. saying THAI IL the
witness had evidence Of anything of
that sort it was his duty TO have him
(Moss) indicted. The chairman, with
some difficulty, finally succeeded in
stopping the discussion between Mr..
Moss and Capt. Price.
The remainder Of the day was taken
up with an investigation Of statements
concerning alleged abuses at the Tombs.
concert hall licenses and their method
Of issuing, the question OF whether the
Dewey theatre had complied with the
regulation Of the police and building de-
partments Of the city, whether other re-
sorts in the Tenderloin district were be-
ing conducted according to the form Of
law, and whether certain individuals
had or had not attempted to buy their
way into, and secure positions on the
police force.
