OPPOSE NEW YORK
CENTRAL LEASE
FitChburg Road Will Contest 1t in
Massachusetts Legislature

Boston, Dec. 19.-The Boston Adyer-
tiser today says that, in addition to the
opposition of many democrats in the
legislature to the proposed lease of the
Boston and Albany railroad to the New
York Central Company, which will come
up for approval at the coming session
of the general court, a new factor is
looming up in the opposition of inter-
ests representing the Fitchburg rail
road, which it is sai6 are evidently not
satisfied with the outlook.
The state directors of the Fitchburg
road, the Advertiser says, "are plain
ly making ready to fight the lease on
general grounds, as affecting the poll
cies ana conditions of Massachusetts.
and on special arguments as affecting
the investments and the welfare of a
Massachusetts railroad. The state di-
rectors of the Fitchburg are J. r. Les
son of Newton and James RenfreW and
c. P. Plunkett of Adams. These gen
tlemen are interested as representinE
the states investments in the Hoosac
tunnel and also as being directors in a
road of which about so per cent of the
securities are owned in New England.
The Advertiser says that these direc
tors will oppose the lease of the Albany,
as there is a feeling in the western part
of the state that more traffic than ever
would be diverted to the Albany road,
the Fitchburg in the past having suf-
fered through the traffic arrangements
between the Albany and the New York
Central.

Former Worcester Bank Man
Taken Into Custody at Boston
Yesterday on a larceny Charge
THE COMPLAINANT IS
LEMUEL E. DEMELMAN
Alleged That Mr.. Hobbs is Guilty
of Stealing a Check For One
Thousand Dollars July II

Wilbur W, Hobbs, at one time pay
ing teller in the Worcester Safe De-
post & Trust Company, and also a
candidate for the office of city treas
urer against F. w. White, was arrest
ed yesterday in Boston on warrant
charging him with the larceny of a
check fer $1,000 from Lemuel E. De-
melman of Boston.
The fact that Hobbs was to have
been arrested was told in Saturday
mornings Spy, and, although Mr..
HOODS did not know about the matter
at that time, as he told The Spy re-
porter, the warrant was served on him
yesterday. The alleged larceny of the
check was committed on July II, and
Mr.. Hobbs says that he is innocent of
the charge.
The check was passed in some min
ing transaction and it is supposed that
it was IN a Navada mining company
of which Mr.. Hobbs is treasurer. When
the warrant was first issued it was
sent to Worcester to Chief of Police j.
M. brennan, and one of the local ofti-
GERS was sent to Mr.. Hobbs house. He
was not at home at the time, and his
wife informed the police officer that
he was in the west. He was away
almost six weeks and told The Spy
man that as soon as he heard he was
wanted in this city he Immediately
came home.
Chief of Police brennan sent the wal
rant back to Boston after he had it 10
his office for a few days. Last night
The Spy man called at Mr.. Hobbs
house, but found no one at home.

CHIEF BRENNAN THINKS
He is INDICATED
Visits Boston and Finds His Lead
in the Sunday Closing Matter
Is Followed There

Chief of Police James NJ. brennan
was in Boston yesterday and discov-
cred that the Boston police are in many
ways following out the action of the
Worcester police in prohibiting the
sale of cigars and other articles on the
Lords day. The chief thinks that his
action taken during the past year has
been all right, and sees where the Bos-
ton police are doing the same things
with cigar dealers and hotel keepers
and other merchants that the Worces-
ter police did.
Chief brennan brought back a copy
of the instructions sent out to the cap
taius of different police precincts in re-
gard to the law, which are as follows
The acts of 1895, section of chapter
454, provides that whoever on the
Lords day keeps open shop. warehouse
and work shop. or does any manner of
labor, business or work except that of
necessity or charity. is liable to a
penalty. The further provision that
whoever conscientiously believes that
the seventh day of the week ought to
be observed as Sabbath and actually
refrains from secular business and
labor on that day. shall not be liable
to the penalties of this section for per-
forming secular business and labor on
the Lords day, if it disturbs no other
person. 1t only permits the person
referred to do such work in such a
manner as will not disturb other per-
sons.
"A shop is kept open lin the eyes of
the law If customers are permitted to
enter for the purpose of doing business,
even though the shades may be drawn
over the windows and the doors.
Where common victuallers, licensed to
do business on the Lords day, are
keeping open shop
FOR THE SALE OF CIGARS, FRUIT,
or other articles, the sale of which is
prohibited on the Lords day, under the
pretense of selling food, a report of the
same shall be sent to headquarters.
Chief brennan went over the matter
carefully with one of the officials of the
Boston department, and finds on care
full examination that the Boston officers
are merely following out the lead of
the local officers. Chief brennan feels
that he has been indicated by the ac-
ton of the Boston police in suppress
ing the sale of cigars on Sunday.
The section of the instructions in re-
gard to the common victuallers caught
violating the law. is put in in such
manner that the officers shall report
them to headquarters and then the
police commissioners, who have charge
of licenses, can revoke them if the Of
lenses warrant such action.
