THE SPY'S FRESHMAN HAS
AN INTERESTING MACHINE

The Philadelphia Record of Thursday
| has an Illustrated article on the casting
machine invented by Charles E. Hopkins,
foreman of the press room of The Wor-
cester Spy. A careful description of the
machine, which has already been de-
scribed in The Spy, is given by the Rec
ord. The demand for a machine Of this
kind is shown in the following para
graph:
In the larger offices 1t is required to
make a great number of these castings,
and the operation is somewhat hampered
by the fact that the machine in which
between each operation, and a great deal
of time is thus lost. The process as now
carried on IS largely a manual one, and,
as these casts are passed from one to an
other, more time is lost In order to re-
duce this time to a minimum, 1t has be-
come the custom in some of the larger
offices to have these men drilled like sol
diers in effort to save every possible Sec
ond.
In the device worked out by Mr. Hop
kins the whole process is concentrated, a
machine covering a few square feet of the
floor performing all of the various opera
lions and turning out the plates In an
almost finished condition and very rap
idly at that The plates as they come
from the machine need only to be gone
over by a man with a cutting tool for
few seconds, and the plate is ready for
use on the press.
An illustrated article has also been pub
lished in the Trade Journal and the Ad-
vertiser and Publisher. Mr.. Hopkins is
having inquiries about the machine from
press builders and manufacturers of
printers machinery all over the country.

AIdermanic Candidates Have
Made Up Their Lists and it Will
Depend on These Men Who is
to Run For Mayor
WORK ALREADY BEGUN
AMONG THE DELEGATES
Charles M. Thayer Suggested as
the Republican Candidate and
His Name Well Receivable
Has No Comment to Make on
the Suggestion

That delegates to the municipal con-
is now practically certain. A great
majority of ward delegations, pledged
to the support of a candidate for al
derman, are already made up and the
consequences which would naturally
result from the introduction of another
list of delegates, pledged to support
some candidate for mayor, are obvious.
1t is plain that prospective candi-
dates appreciate the situation and are
willing to take a chance on securing
the support of delegates before the
convention. A move or perhaps two or
three moves. of this sort is already
under way and many prospective dele
gates have already been approached
to test their sentiment for various
candidates.
| At this rate the convention Of I'M
pledged delegates will be quite the re-
verse when the convention opens. I'm
less representative Republicans are
able to unite on some mayoralty can
dfdate before many days the nomina-
ton will be as good as settled long be-
fore the municipal convention is called
to order and settled in the usual way
by the friends Of some particularly en-
ergetic candidate. Just where differ
ences in the party ranks will be healed
by such action is hard to figure out
Leading Republicans are agreed that
unless some candidate is selected by
the convention who will stand for some
degree of unification in the party
ranks nothing like a satisfactory con-
dition will obtain at the ensuing city
election.
Charles M. Thayer. one of the best
known of the younger Republicans OF
the city, was suggested yesterday as
a possible candidate for mayor. Mr.
Thayer said last night, that he had nc
1 comment to make on the suggestion
There has been nothing like an organ
| lied movement to secure his consent
to be a candidate and he saw no rea.
son for expressing an opinion as to thu
i slggestion.
There are plenty of Republicans wht
would like to see Mr. Thayer stanC
for the nomination. They consider hin
one of the strongest men in the party
locally and the fact that he has few
if any political enemies, fits him ad
mirably in the estimation of hi:
friends as a candidate at this time.
Hon. Alfred S. Pinkerton, in whose
behalf it is said something of still
hunt Is in progress, maintains silence
Mr. Pinkerton is unable to see cause
for a statement from him at this time
and he is willing to let matters take
| their natural course so far as the
mayoralty nomination is concerned.
Hon. Henry L. Parker. who was
mentioned yesterday as possible can
didate, will not enter the field if there
| is to be contest.

LAKE VIEW HERALD
OUT FOR CRERIE

The Lake View Herald, weekly
paper, published by Rev. John H.
Matthews of the Lake View Congrega-
tional Church, in the interest of the
Church, the school, and the commun-
ity," comes out strong for E. P.
Crerie as candidate for alderman from
that ward. 1t says: 1T will be a great
boom for our little village if Mr..
Crerie can be elected. We believe that
if he is successful he will do all he
can as our representative in the city
government. He has already taken
deep interest in our community, max
ing many sacrifices for 1t in time and
money. Every voter who loves his COM
munity regardless of party or personal
feelings. should lend his efforts to Sc
cure the election of our candidate"

found guilty unless the jury should
find that he actually assisted in the
writing, or sending the letter that con-
stituted the overt act. He could not be
guilty as principal if, for instance, they
! found the evidence to be that he only
assisted in the commission of the
crime after the overt acts had been
committed.
| Because of another request of de-
| PENDANTS counsel he charged that the
testimony that Inspector O'Day said
"Buzzo is the tool of the woman, -
could not be considered as against Mrs
Fisher, who was not present when the
conversation took place of which this

house, the addressed envelope and the
address written by Mrs. Fisher in the
courtroom.

barking to Cross the River Be-
fore Entering Ho Nan, En- Route
for Pekin
HER ATTENDANT CUT
DOWN WITH A SPEAR
Recall of WI Ting Fang, the Chi
nese Minister at Washington
Decided Upon-Son of the
Marquis Tseng May be His
Successor

Pekin, Nov. 2.-While the dowage-
empress was embarking to cross the
river today before entering Ho Nan, an
assassin attempted to murder her and
killed an attendant with a spear before
he was cut down. The court has left
Ho Nan en- route for Pekin.
Pekin, Nov 2.-Yesterday the recall
of WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister
at Washington, was decided upon. He
will be offered, it is announced, a sub
ordinate post in the foreign office be-
meath his abilities, which it Is believed
he will decline.
Ii Hung Changes interpreter Tseng
adopted son of the Marquis Tseng, is
"a prominent candidate for the Wash
ington mission. He is 80 years of age
and was educated in England.
Cheng TIE vi has been appointed min
lister in London. He Is IS years of age
and was formerly interpreter at the
Chinese legations in London and Ber-
lin. He is a progressive man.
washington, Nov. 1.-The Chinese le-
cation Is without advices bearing out
the Pekin report of the decision there
to recall Minister WI. At the same
time there is no Discrimination at the
! legation to accept the report as true for
two reasons:
First, the official despatch in such
matters is almost invariable a day or
two later than the press dispatch, as
occurred in the case of the recall Of
Minister Yang Vie, Mr.. Wu's prede-
lcessor and, second, the prescribed term
of three years of Mr.. WI expired some
monthes ago. Mr.. WI has been at Ann
Arbor Mich, and is not expected back
before tomorrow night or Monday
1t was stated at the legation tonight
that there were no Pekin dispatches
awaiting the minister's return So far,
the gossip from the Chinese court has
contained but two names as possible
4 Successors. These are Tsen, Lii Hung
Changes interpreter and Ii Ching Fang
a son of that viceroy. The latter is
about so years old. Mr.. Cheng TIE Yi,ap-
pointed to the court of st. James, was
I secretary of the special embassy SEN
4 to Toxic to expiate the assassination
of the Japanese minister to Pekin.

busiest in the history of the Worcester
post office. Clerks in the delivery de-

calling in additional help. the decks
were cleared before evening The first

ordinary circumstances, but with thou
sands of political circulars and unusual
quantities of advertising matter and
periodicals, the week has been more
than usually busy.
