LYNCH LOST TO SIGHT
So is $50 of the Initial
lowell Company's
Money.

Patrick Lynch, a collector, in the
employ Of the Initial Towel Company
doing business at 112 Front street, is
much wanted individual by the po-
lice of Worcester, and Inspector Pat
rick oDay holds warrant for his
arrest charging him with the larceny
of $50 from the company
Lynch had the utmost confidence of
H. c. Wheeler, proprietor of the towe!
company, until last week, and in ad-
dition to driving around the delivery
team, he was installed in the position
of collector
Business has been good with the
towel company for some time, and as
result Lynch handled considerable
money. Last Monday his interesting
game of conversation was missed by
his employer and fellow employees, and
as result the manager w. e. Lane.
took squint over the books. A short
age of about SIS was discovered with
out necessitating the use of magnify
ing glasses, and later, when an expert
accountant got hold of the books, about
$50 was found unaccounted for.
Manager Lane has an idea where
Lynch is, and yesterday a warrant for
his arrest was sent to Boston. The po-
lice have been working quietly on the
case since last Tuesday.
Lynch came to Worcester about six
months ago and entered the employ of
the Initial Towel Company at once He
is a married man and lived with his
wife and child on Charlton street He
is of medium height, heavy build and
possesses a mesmeric manner, which
helps him along in his business. Man
ager Lane says that Lynch is the last
man he would suspect of jumping out
of town without leaving his address,
and hopes that the matter may be
fixed up without unnecessary trouble.

RACE WITH MOTORCYCLE
Major Tay lor Establishes a
New Western
Record.

Chicago, July 2S.-Major Taylor, paced
by the steam motor cycle, rode mile on
the Ravenswood track tonight in 80 rs.
The machine and Taylor started from
the farther stretch, and by the time they
had reached the tape they were going like
the wind. Taylor himself rode near the
rear wheel, and as fast as the machine
went he stayed with it. The quarter was
made in 20 1-5. The half was made in
IA 1-5.
The three-quarters was second slower,
for the machine was not true, and al
though the major could have gone faster.
he was not pushed. The time was too slow
to allow the record to come to Illinois, for
the last quarter was made in rs. When
TAYLOR realized that more speed was nee
essary he started to squirt, and in the
home stretch he had gained the length of
the motor cycle, and finished a yard to the
good.
The record is the best ever made in the
west When the motor cycle has been
put in order another trial will be made

that they be heard before the matter
is finally settled
He had q little experience with Mr..
Searls, he said, in another opposition
scheme which he did not care to men
ton. He lamented the fact however,
that Mr.. Searles refused to answer
questions, as he thought considerable
light on the subject might be developed.
He thought there was something wrong
but he was unable to get at it.
Mr.. Powers considered the matter of
competition in this case, as directly OPP
posed to the policy of Massachusetts.
He claimed that the city would not
grant franchises for another street
railway, gas or electric light company.
He referred to numerous instances
where opposition companies had start
ed in other places only to be sold out
by the sheriff, because they could not
make money at the low rates charged.
He wanted to know how the Worcester
men knew they could furnish service
for the rates named. In speaking of the
Stronger system he cited the exchange
in August, Ca, as the largest where the
system is in use. There are APO sub
scribers.
Mr.. Searls was unable TO contain aim
self at this point, and broke in with a
declaration that there are 700.
Mr.. Powers then paid his respects to
Mr.. Searls by stating that he had ex-
pected to ask him where the capital
was coming from to start this business,
and he had expected to have him reply,
From the parent Stronger company"
He was inclined to the belief, however,
that Mr. Searls must have been in
pretty close touch with the parent COM
pany to have gained the information
he volunteered.
Mr.. Powers referred to the fact that
the city received $9596.40 in taxes, di-
rectly or indirectly, from the telephone
corporation. He considered it pre-
posterous to place Massachusetts cap
ital in ruinous competition. He re-
ferred to the progress of the Massa-
chusetts Telephone Company, which is
confined to a short strip of Underground
work at present, although the promoter
claims to have several thousand sub
scribers. He insisted that the fran
chise was secured to sell and claimed
that the same state of affairs exists in
Worcester at present, that the men
who ask for this franchise will make
money if they get one, but they will
make it by selling the franchise.
Mr.. Powers thought the new compa-
ny would do well if it secured 500 sub
scribers during the first year in bust
ness.
In closing, Mr.. Powers said: IF you
believe our rates are too high, give us
chance to remedy them. You should
not put our plant in ruinous COMPETE
ton. You can't blame us for protest
ing against such a course. We want
reasonable returns, and that is all; give
us chance to show what we are do
ing"
The committee of five will hold it's
next meeting next Friday night at s
o'clock.

Will be under bonds for the completion
OF the work as soon as papers can be
drawn
The committee of eight which has
the work in charge, is positive that the

There was no doubt of the hits, no
question of judgment whether the bats

The ball went off the bat like a streak

Klobedanz was substituted for Miller,
He couldn't stop the Hartfords They
got three more on him, making an

We're sent to bat first, and the Worces-

Team---Two Deaths.
FIRST CLASS BALL PLAYING.

North Brookfeld, July 22.-Ware was
easy for the reorganized North Brook
fields today. At no stage of the game
did the visitors have any chance of
winning, and in but one inning did they
manage to score. Howard and Holland,
the pony battery Of the local team, did
fine work, though Hollands ankle
bothered him somewhat toward the end
of the game.
The ease with which the game was
won was greatly due to the skilful
pitchHg of young Howard, who per-
formed the feat of striking out IA men
and allowed but five scattered hits. The
locals played well, making but three
errors, which were partly due to care
lessness when the game was won.
The pitching of Howard was so
strong that not one Of his outfielders
had chance for a put-out. Duggan,
for the home team played a nice all
round game. Rice and Bombard of
Cherry Valley played on the North
Brookfield team and did we'll the work
that came their way.
The attendance was good for the
first game, and should be better here
after, now that the boys have shown
they are capable of putting up good
ball Manager Howard expects to have
the Thorndike team for a game here

team on the field. The score Of today's

But O'Loughlin mustn't be blamed

wretched work, but 10 umpiras couldn't
prevent Hartford from winning yester-
day. II came in the fifth, and it came
like thunderbolt in a clear sky. No
body expected anything Of he sort.
Miller was pitching good Dall as good
a game as had been pitched at the oval
this season. He put the ball over and

right, which Sharrott got. 1t was =
good hit, and Knell was in hard luck
