BEER WAS RETURNED
Especial to TELEGRAM J

Williamstown, Dec. l7.-There is
another part OF the story OF the 1tal'
ian dance held in this town Saturday
evening that has just come to light.
Saturday morning the town grand
juror, at The instance Of the select.
men, swore out search warrant and
had the town hall raided, and the Is
kegs Of beer there for the dance that
evening were seized.
Attorney M. M, Gordon of Barre
was retained by the managers of the
dance to get the beer back for them.
In the afternoon he drove to this
town and demanded of Justice Martin
that the beer be returned to avoid
trouble. This was done without the
formality Of hearing being held. AS
a result all who attended the dance
Saturday evening had the beer to
drink. All of the Is kegs were used
up, but this was not an alarming
quantity when it was considered that
the attendance at the dance was con-
fined to the Italians in this town and
their guests, members of the italian
colony at Barre.

The Heavy Strain of Work in the
Interest of No-License Has Re-
suited in a Recurrence of An
Attack of Appendicitis
Mr.. BEIDLER THINKS AN
OPERATION NECESSARY
He viii Preach to His Congrega-
ton As Usual Today But May
Have to Lie on a Sick Bed Dur
ing the Last Week of the Cam
paign


Rev. Francis W. Beidler, president
Of Worcester Temperance Federation,
and pastor Of the First Presbyterian
Church, is threatened with an attack
Of appendicitis and expects to go to the
hospital for an operation this week. In
spite of his illness his intention last
night was to preach as usual to his
congregation in Malta Temple this
morning. He has been threatened with
appendicitis before, but has managed
to ward it off.
From a well grounded apprehension
that further delay might be dangerous
he has made up his mind to have an
operation performed unless his condi-
ton changes speedily for the better.
Mr. Beidlers friends-and he has
made many during his short pastorate
in WOrcester-are anxious about him
on account of the extra strain which
the presidency of the Temperance Fed
Grafton has thrown upon him.
For the last month he has done moro
than double duty. His activity in be-
half Of his church has been unceasing
and his success In that direction has
been noteworthy.
AS the director of the no-license
campaign he has orked early and
late, meeting voters at the Federation
headquarters in the Flatiron building,
acquainting himself with the ms and
outs of Worcester's municipal politics,
and speaking in the cause of no-license
many times every week. His friends
feel that Il this extra work has not
been responsible primarily for his ILL
1an cfra ~
susceptible to the disease than. he
otherwise would have been.
1t will be a keen disappointment for
Mr.. Beidler if he is compelled to lie
on a sick bed during the final and de-
Gliding week of the campaign. He is of
an active and energetic nature and
through his efforts has infused new
life into the Temperance Federation.
The other prominent workers in the
no-license campaign will miss their
leader sadly, but as a tribute to Mr..
Beidler's own efforts and zeal, will re-
double their endeavors to carry Wor-
cester for no-license.
There will be a special meeting of
the Federation tomorrow night at |
O'Clock to perfect arrangements for
election day and for the public meet |
ing in Mechanics Hall Friday night, |
which will be addressed by Mrs. L. NJ |
Lake, Of st. Louis, reputed the finest
lady temperance orator in America.
An appeal for funds with which to
prosecute the no-hcense compaign has
been issued to the business men and
hearty response is expected.
Chairman Charles e. Slocomb Of the
ward committee had a meeting of his
committee last night at headquarters
and made good progress on the cleo
ton day work
Today is no-license day in the
churches and nearly all the pulpits

FOURTEEN CITIES

Commissioners on Revision Of the
Public Statutes Could Not Sc
cure Uniformity in City Char
ter to Fix One Day for Elections
in All Cities

| Especial Political Correspondence
| Boston, Nov. 30.-Tuesday will be
election day in many cities of the com
monwealth. 1t seems a pity that the
Legislation under which the public
statutes were revised was not sufficien-
ly elastic to have permitted the COM
missioners and the committee to secure
uniformity in the city charters to far
as election days go. They have been
| left, however, still providing that cleo
ton shall come either on the Tuesday
after the first Monday in December,
the first Tuesday, the Tuesday after
the second Monday, the second or the
third Tuesday, as the case may be. The
effect this year is to make North
Adams flock by itself on the third Tues
day, while the elections in Brockton,
Fall River, Titchburg, Gloucester,
Haverhill. Lawrence, Marlboro, New
Bedford, Northampton, Pittsfeld. Quin-
cy, Springfield Tauton and WAtham
occur Tuesday. and those Of Beverly,
Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Chicopee.
Everett, Holyoke. Lowell, Lynn, NAL
den, Medford MelTose, NeWbUryport,
Newton, Salem, Somerville, Woburn
and Worcester come a week later. In
those years when December begins on
Tuesday the effect is to push the cleo
tions in Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea
and NeWburyport over to the third
Tuesday with North Adams, their char
tiers reading the Tuesday next after the
second Monday.
Men still shake their heads ominously
over the Boston election, although it is
admitted that the claim Of the Boston
Democrats that Collins will lead Hart
by 5000 votes Is merely for campaign
purposes. 1t is admitted by the Demo-
Gratis that Hart has fighting chance
and the Boston Republicans believe
that he is sure to take it, But in other
quarters it is said that the Republi-
cans are only putting up fight be-
cause they must and that they really
know that Hart must succumb Hart
is a fighter from way back, however,
and it will not do for the Boston Demo-
crazy to begin to distribute the offices
just yet. AS a matter Of fact, 1t is
generally admitted that the Democracy
has already about half the offices and
that it would not fare much better with
Collins in the mayors chair. Hart has
always been popular with a certain
class OF democrats, ana everybody au-
mits that he VIII nave the support OF
the Republican party with no eXcep-
tons.

A NEW MEDICAL DECISION.

DR.. Robert Koch, of Berlin, created
a sensation in the British Congress
of tuberculosis by asserting that
~tubercular infection cannot be con-
veyed from beast to man. DIR. Koch
was the discoverer of the tubercle
bacillus and in his experiments in
attempting to inoculate animals with
the bacillus in men, he was led to
believe that there was no identity
between the human and bovine
bacillus of tuberculosis. There were
expressions of view on the other side
however, and the question will no
doubt be se4tled emily after the most
thorough and searching investiga-
ton. Meanwhile, as long as the
doctors differ it is just as we'll TO
have the sources of our meat and
milk supply subject to sanitary regu-
latiOns Presbyterian Standard.
