NOTHING DONE YET.
Agricultural Society Has Not Found a
Way to Spend Its Sle5,ooo

The committee of seven appointed at
recent meeting of the Worcester Ag-
ricuFtural Society to dispose in some
way OF the proceeds realized from the
sale Of the fair grounds to Boston
syndicate. has not made much sub
stantial progress. At least that opin-
ion might have been gathered from the
words of a member of the COMMITTEES
yesterday when he was asked concern
ing the matter.
He said there was nothing for pub
LEGATION, and it was clear that nothing
had been determined. At all events the
committee must report to the society
before any final decision may be
reached 1t was rumored on the street
yesterday that H. H. Bigelow, owner
of the Fullmoon track, located near
Shrewsbury, would not refuse an offer
from the Agricultural Society. When
this was suggested to L. F. Herrick, a
member of the committee of seven, he
said that the grounds had not been ex-
amined, but added that he presumed
Mr. Bigelow would be- willing to sell
the track.
Nothing new has developed on the
syndicate side of the matter. The deed
will not be passed before the specified
time mentioned in the contract, name
ly, any time between May l and May
TO- In the meantime nothing will be
done by the syndicate at least, as they
fail to see any object in taking the fair
ground property before the time re-
auired and being compelled in that
event to pay taxes to the city of $4,000

Members of Shoe Ma
chinery Trust
PREPARE FOR WAR
Alleged Infringers
Of Their Patent Rights.

Boston, March 30.--Suit has been en-
tered in the United States circuit court
by the United Shoe Machinery com
pany, the large so-called trust which
embraces nearly all Of the important
shoe machinery companies, against
several large shoe manufacturers in
this state and Maine shoe machinery
company.
There are nine suits and the court has
issued subpoenas returnable on May /.
The suits have been brought with a
view of enJoining the manufacturers
from making, using or selling an in-
provement in heel attaching machinery
on the ground that 1t holds the sxclu-
sive right to do so by virtue Of a. patent
1t also seeks an accounting, believing
that the smaller concerns have accrued
considerable pecuniary benefit which
should have swelled it's treasury. Couu-
sci for the complainants are Fish, Rich
ardson & Storrow.
The so-called shoe machinery trust
controls all the patents in the United
States and Canada formerly held by
the large concerns which entered the
combine Its capitalization is $25, 900, 000
Embraced in the new company are the
Consolidated and Mckay Lasting Ma
chine company, Goodyear Shoe Machin-
cry company Mckay Shoe Machinery
company, International Goodyear Shoe
Machinery company. Goodyear Shoe
Machinery company Of Canada, Bppier
Welt Machine Company, International
Eppier Welt Machine company and
Davey Pegging Machine Company.
The defendants in the suits instituted
by the company are Ritson G. Kellam
and Newton J. Tilton, Thomas
g. Plant Company ct al e.
p. Paunce ct al. F.. Smith George
W. Herrick. John H Cross. Jr, ct al,
Michael F. Donovan. Woodward Man
ufacturing Company ct al, and Will
liam W. Williams ct al.
The complainant alleges that it con-
trolls the patent on an Improvement on
heel attaching machinery which was
invented by Freedom F. Raymond, I'd,
of Newton. and assigned by him to j.
W. and John Brooks, from whom it re-
ceived the patent at the time of con-
solidation.
By virtue of the letters patent num-
bered 6l9,707 the complainant claims
the exclusive right to make, use or sell
the machines constructed according to
and containing the invention referred
to.
1t alleges that the defendants have
made, used, sold and are still making,
using or selling the machines embody-
ing the patent. 1t asserts that this
is an infringement and seeks an in
junction to restrain the defendants
from committing further alleged wrong
full acts.
1t also asks the court to issue a pre-
liminary injunction during the penden-
cy of the suits. The cases will come
up in the circuit court May /, and a
long legal fight will probably follow.

A SURE THING.
Local Soldiers Of the Spanish War WIN
Get Extra Pay.

Get Extra Pay.
The fact that all volunteers who saw
foreign service are to receive two
months extra pay has been definitely
settled and yesterday Sergt. Lansing of
the United States Recruiting office in
the Walker building received orders
from Washington stating that in order
to get the money, the volunteers must
send on their discharges and a slip stat
ing service to the auditor Of the war
department. Several of the Worcester
men who went away as members of
the I'd regiment sent on their discharges
to the paymaster general at Washing
ton, but they were returned with In
structions to send them to the auditor.
This means that every man in Wor-
cester who is now out of service,
whether he was a member Of a Volun-
teer or regular regiment, can draw the
money by complying with the instruc-
tions.
Frank E. Arvin, a RAW recruit, and
John Doherty, formerly a member OF
company X Of the 18th regulars. were
enlisted yesterday and will be examine
ed today, probably by Assistant Sur
geon Gilling of Fort Slocum, N. Y, at
the Providence recruiting office for du-
ty in New England with Capt. Gresh-
am Orders were received yesterday to
enlist men for the 4th artillery at Fort
Slocun, and also to enlist men for the
infantry and cavalry in Porto Rico and
Cuba notification was received from
Columbus barracks yesterday stating
that Private Murtfuar Conroy, who was
enlisted at the local office March a. had
deserted. The police will be notified
and they will be on the lookout for
Muftfuar.

tain interested parties az to the meth
DDS of business employed by James

seld LIQUOR to any intoxicated person
to his knowledge, and has lived up to
the requirements Of his license. He has
been annoyed by several persons who
have come to his place and tried to
create disturbance Two Of these men
he knows do not support their families
He refused to sell them liquor and in
sisted that they keep away from Ills
premises. Since that time he has had
no annoyance.
Last December when Fox moved his
Mace of business from South Worcester
TO it's present location, there was no
protest during the time when the
change was advertised, but short time
after, Interested persons called on the
license commissioners and expressed
great surprise that the saloon should
have been allowed to locate in the
nefehborhood where 1t did. The state
n1ent was also made that men who are
known to have neglected their families
had heen seen to go in and come out of
the place.

RUNNING TOO FAST,
Police Instructed to Prose
cute Violations of the Law.

The question of speed on street rail-
ways Is again getting the attention of
city officials, and for the past few DAYS
a little correspondence which explains
Itself has been going on between Mayor
Dodge. Chief of Police brennan and
francis H. Dewey, president of the
Consolidated Street Railway.
The first letter was sent to President
Dewey from Chief of Police brennan.
tuesday. and is as follows:

precautian. The original order regu-
letins the speed of cars was passed BY
the board Of aldermen under the au-
th9risy Of chapter lis, section n of the
public statutes, the penalty not to ex-
rsed $500 for each offense
No car propelled by ELECTRICITY shall

curnferAAqe Of which Is one mile from
the city hall, nor at a greater speed

Gle described above and the city line
Under order passed March is,
Respectfully,
James M. brennan,
Chief OF Police"
The communication from Mayor
Podge is as follows:
"Col. brennan, Chief of Police:
Dear Sir-I am satisfied that cars
of the street railway run at greater
speed than allowed by rules and regu-
jations relating thereto. VIII you
please take such steps as may be nee
essary to prosecute any violation Of
rules and regulations?
Respectfully,
"R. B. Dodge"
In reply, President Dewey sent the
following note to Chief brennan, which
satisfied the chief of police that the
matter would be attended to:
Col. James NJ. brennan Chief of Po-
Dear sir-Your favor in regard to
duly received A special notice rega I'd
ing the matter has been issued to mo-
tofmen, and / hope there will be no
further trouble. F. H. Dewey
The cars on the Adams square line
are in question more than on any other
line in the city, and in coming down
Lincoln street, the speed has been for
some time far in excess of what is al
lowed by law.
The chief of police, Mayor Dodge and
President Dewey, with John Akarman,
superintendent of the road, have been
IN consultation about the congestion of
traffic at Harrington corner. 1t is the
Intention of the city authorities to
oDl1ge the Consolidated road to stop for
the purpose of allowing passengers to
get off cars short distance from the
corner instead of on the corner, as has
been the habit for some time past.
The cars coming up Front street,
down Pleasant street and on Main
street from both directions very often
times arrive at the corner about the
same time, and traffic Is delayed con-
siderably.
