IMPRESSED BY GERMANY.
American Said to Have Been Seized
by Military Authorities.


NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Though he fought
in the Spanish-Ameriean war and has
taken out his first papers declaring his in
tention OF becoming an American citizen.
Theodore Werner, of ~ West Hath Street,
has been seized at Kiel, Germany, and
impressed into the German military SER
vice.
His parents have just received letter
from the young man, stating his predica~
ment and asking them 10 do what they
can to rescue him. The United States
Government will be appealed to in MS be
half. Werner is twenty-one years old
He was born in Germany and came to this
country with his parents. and when
brought here he was sixteen years Of age.
Young Werner took out his first natu-
ralization papers only a few months ago
and as soon as the law permits intended to
qualify as a citizen. He was of rowing
disposition. and enlisted on the United
States transport Meade in 1899. He went
TO Manila a member OF the Meade's
crew. Later. when the Meade piled be-
tween Manila and San Francisco. he was
promoted TO be qudrteTmaSter. He con-
traeted fever in Manila and was honorably
discharged.
No sooner had he been declared well
than he shipped on the Ham burg American
liner Plata as quartermaster. Werner al
ways had an easy berth while the steamer
lay in her German ports. He once evaded
a search that was made for him. but
was caught on July H. and according to
his letter, was summaTily impressed into
the service at Kiel- He is now in the
Sixth Company, First Division of Marines.
Colonel Michael. Chief Clerk CT the War
Department. stated today that the Werner
case had not been reported 10 the depart
ment but that he supposed the protest
would come through the regular channels
and that the authorities would do every
thing possible to secure Werner's release.
1t was explained that these cases are not
at all infrequent. but that they are SO
numerous as to keep the American au-
tborities at Washington and Berlin busy
great deal OF the time
Under the German military system any
man who fails to serve out a term in
the army and leaves the country is re-
garded as a deserter, and is punished as
such when captured. Were a German to
desert from the United States Army ard.
going 10 Germany, reafhTm his allegiance
to the Kaiser, he would, should he re-
turn to this country, be arrested and
compelled TO serve out his term. Ge--
many. it was SAID. would make no protest
and has an absolute right to compel former
subjects, who are desertars, even though
they are Ameris2p citizens. TO finish cut
the military course.
Technically, the United States has no
right to interfere. but by dint of hard
work the State Department has succeeded
in obtaining the release OF nearly eve y
citizen in such cases 1t is stated that
about 300 of these protests are received
each year

THE SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS

! Up by the Telegram.

The school commissioners met last
night and passed most admirable set
of resolutions for the cleansing Of the
moral tone of the community in a
matter which THE TELEGRAM brought
to the public notice ten days ago.
The resolutions were:
To the honorable city council: To
better protect public property, to
promote public cleanliness, to prevent
loahng along our main streets, and to
prohibit those of vulgar and indecent
language in public places:
We, the school commissioners
would respectfully request you to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of appointing
special police to patrol North Main
street to Mount street, and SO much
OF Church street as is included be-
tween Main street and Washington

A FITTING CLOSE.
Ebert Hubbard Delivers the Last of
the Seasons Lectures.

The thirteenth season of the Barre
Entertainment Association was
brought to a successful close last
night with one of the brightest and
most unique literary geniuses in
America as the speaker of the even
ing. That gentleman was Ebert
Hubbard; editor of the Philistine, a
little booklet published in East
Aurora, N. Y, and which has attrac-
ted SO much attention in the literary
world.
1t is safe to say that the patrons Of
the lecture course considered this to
be the best number of the season.
1t was indeed treat. His discourse
was alive with food for thought and
the story of his career and personal
experiences as told by him were highly
entertaining.
After the lecture about fifty of the
members of the association and Mr..
Hubbard and few invited guest S
went to the City Hotel where Land
lord Morse dispensed a most excellent
banquet. When full justice had been
done to the feast Principal O. d. Mat
hewson as toastmaster made a few re-
marks and then called upon various
members of the party for speeches.
Those who spoke were City Judge
w. A. Boyce, Prof. O. X. Hollister,
Rev. Effie X. M. Jones, G. w. Scarf
of Burlington recited an original
poem, Hon. Mason S. Stone, state SUI
perintendent Of schools, gave an adj
dress and then Mr. Hubbard was
called upon. His discourse here was
even more pleasing than his lecture,
and when the party broke UP each one
went away with sensation of having
taken advantage of an opportunity
that they would not have missed
under any circumstances.
The committee who have had charge
Of the course this year have met with
some reverses which they were in no
way to blame for, but they have done
all that it was in the power of man to
do to give the public satisfactory re-
suits from the course, and under the
circumstances they have given the
greatest possible satisfaction. They
have given two more entertain
mentS than the course called for and
the best talent in the country has
been secured by them. 4
The committee deserve the hearty
thanks of all the patrons of the associ-
alton.
The annual meeting will be held
May l4th, at which it is hoped there
will be large attendance.

GRANITE NOTES.
Very Interesting Reading for Cutters
and Manufacturers.
(BY GEO. +. MAXTELL.)

(BY GEO. +. MAXTELL.)
Barre has had busy two weeks de-
nying the reports of Concord and
Quincy as to the manufacturers not
paying as they agreed, that is, the 80
cents for eight hours. The New Eng
land Association of Manufacturers not
satisfied with a straight denial from
the Barre Association must needs
send delegation here to examine the
books of those complained Of.
They did not examine but they did
meet one of the firm of Jones Bros,
and the explanation rendered them
was SO satisfactory that they did not
ask to examine any books.
Why was this subject brought up?
Just because three of our cutters here
were writing to Quincy and saying
they were only receiving 30 cents per
hour and that many Others were on
the same basis. These gentlemen are
being attended to by the branch here.
Another thing which has been dis
cllssed, and that seriously, was the
fact that there would be a strike or a
lock out on May LIST. A TELEGRAM
reporter has already investigated the
facts in the matter and found from
the manufacturers side that a straight
denial was forthcoming and that the
reason they had not given a decided
answer to the delegation, was that
they were waiting the decision of the
Granite Cutters National Union as to
the suspension of the article.
This decision was arrived at last
night by the vote taken, and according
to same the vote was almost unani-
nous, thus proving that SO far as this
branch is concerned the cutters are
anxious to hold up their end of it.
This settles the matter so far as
Barre is concerned and shows the large
autocratic builders that they have to
for once knuckle down to the puny
monumental men and give in.
Rumors are frequent as to the set
Element at Quincy but nothing can be
said yet. The hitch seems to be that
the cutters wish minimum of IS cents
but the manufacturers say 35 cents
average. There is no doubt but what
the cutters will get what they want SO
why should these places stand out
against the inevitable?
The Barre branch G. GNU ARE as
sessing their members 20 cents day
for the support of those not working
and the population of Barre has i'll
creased within the last thirty days by
500 souls, so why should we kick mas
much as the work here is plentiful
and still more coming in.
Many large contracts have been
lately placed here and many others
are being figured on.
The quarries are being worked to
their fullest capacity and most of
them are looking for extra men.
The outlook is pleasant for us SO let
us hope the manufacturers will stand
by their part of the agreement just as
the boys have done and make the sus-
pension of the article indefinite.
Barre now has good chance to re-
trieve her losses of 1892 and looks as
if she were going to do so.
Thomas G. Briggs, representing j.
+. Barclay & Co., Of Wheeling, W.
Va, has been in the city all week get
ting figures from the different manu-
facturers on large vault, the price to
be about $4,000.

PUSHING WORK
ON BONANZA" ..
Valuable Properties Near the Copper
King are Beiag DeveIopsd--Den-
yer Parties I.spect the Claims

Recent development on the claims
owned by the Lucky Day Mining COM
pany has caused not little talk in
this city during the past week o.
ten days. The company's property is
located south of the Copper King
mine. Seven claims, all of which are
being worked, and each of which
shows good mineral.
The Bonanza is the claim upon
which most of the development work
has been done, is now down sixty-fve
feet, and the men are now busy
timbering it. At the bottom of the
shaft body of rich ore has been un-
covered. This does not represent
the width of the body as it extends
beyond the side Of the shaft.
The ore tested shows q value Of
$3l. .25 and is distributed as follows:
Copper, $20.25; gold, 81; silver, 4
On Sunday last party of Denver
gentlemen were in the city and the
day was spent looking over the vari-
GUS claims and returned exceedingly
well pleased with the outlook.
Another claim is the General Cronje
upon which . twenty foot shaft has
been sunk. At . depth of eleven
feet the average value of the ore was
$l4-
The formation on this claim is sim
liar to the Cripple Creek mines-pho-
uolite quartz. 1t is alongside pho
nolite quartz the Cronje's shaft is
being put down. Fine free gold
specimens are frequently found.
Dr. l. E. McDougal, the president
and general manager OF the Lucky
Day Company is now in the East, and
it is believed while there he will place
a sufficient amount of stock to justify
the placing q complete Get of mining
