THE STATE MILITIA.

1t has been a quiet time for the boys
at the state armory the past two or three
days, and today was no exception. The
new men who came I'm Sunday are becom-
ing used TO things and now all moves as
smoothly as clockwork. Some OF the boys
are inclined to wander beyond the lines
and last evening at o'clock the guards
were trebled and a number of the boys
caught out. They were doing extra police
duty this morning.
The naval reserves have organized
teams and purchased balls and bats. and
their time of duty Is put In In the rear OF
the armory in learning points OF the ma
tional game.
Commssary Glines Is feeding about 300
men now. This morning hash, oatmeal,
syrup, bread and butter and coffee: for
dinner they had roast lamb and peas, po-
tatoes, onions, bread and butter and cof-
fee. and for supper cold lamb. prunes.
vegetables, bread and butter and coffee
will be served.
Capt Burlingame OF Co. F, OF woon-
socket is officer OF the day. and Lieuten-
ant Burdick OF Co. e. OF Westerly. Is
officer OF the guard. The guard consists OF
10 men and corporal from companies
+. and A. Sergeant Kenyon OF Co. f, is
sergeant OF the guard.
The boys are looking for pay day, al
though most OF them have moneye and
the carts OF n half dozen ice cream ven
ders DO a rushing business. The carts
drive up 20 the ropes and the cream is
handed over the lines and the coin tossed
back The temperance OF several OF the
men who went home was greeted with
applause and most OF them were glad to
be back again.

WHAT A WOMAN SAW.

That the stone throwing Is done by the
car crews themselves Is believed by the
vast majority OF people. and a News man
was informed this morning by an eye
witness, a lady living at Fairlawn. that
she saw the crew OF one car jump from
the car and gather up a number OF stones
and place them I'm the car
AZ the police station II was said this
morning that no complaint had been re-
ceived there Of any cars being stoned
last night.
The pistol shot episode was topic
Of discussion In Pawtucket this morning.
and the stories told by everybody who
was near the scene vary fearfully and
wonderfully from those told by the car
crew.
Officer McGone reported that he heard
three shots, and resident I'm nearby
house saws he doesn't think there were
more than three. possibly four. Under
the circumstances N eight wounds were
found on the car that revolver must have
been loaded with buckshot.

very considerate In their shooting. but

NO ONE RIDING.

As on previous days the management
claimed that all the cars were running,
but as In previous days nobody was rid

suspension of work OF several large es-
tablishments, nobody rode. Many OF the
cars in goin down Main street even had
the seats of the cars turned backward.
the conductors not taking the trouble to
reverse the seats when the end OF the
previous trip was reached.
There was a large gathering at the
strikers headquarters, and here II was
emphatically denied that four men or
any number OF men had gone TO the office
70 see about reinstatement The whole
story is a case of our cat and another
one. One of the strikers who has Sc
cured work in New Bedford went to the
office after his money. which was re-
fused, the strikers say, he being told
he would have to go TO the Providence
office for 1t, and this is all there Is TO
the story OF the four men asking for
their jobs and others asking for recon-
mendations.
Several reports were spread around
from a very unreliable source OF stone
throwing incidents last evening. and with
these a highly -colored yarn Of a dozen or
more revolver shots fired at car I'm the
lonely Businesses Of East avenue, eight
OF which took effect on the car.
A peculiar thing about this alleged
stone throwing. the police say. is the fact
that none OF the stories are corroborated
by anybody; the word OF an imported
motorman and conductor being all the
evidence produced I'm most OF the cases.

The celebration OF st. Johns day, the
patron saint OF all persons OF French or
Canadian birth or parentage. is being cell

today, and IL is stated by those who have
attended all celebrations held In New
England In n score OF years that the OBJ

the most elaborate. and by far the most
successful ever held In the history OF the
Franco American organizations OF the
country.
The celebrat ton was participated In by
fully one hundred societies and organiza-
tions. some OF which came long distances,
some as far west as st. Louis, and Sagi-
nav and Muskegon, Mich. In all about
fftv different places. cities, towns aand
villages were represented. and naturally
many OF the local societies and organiza-

He Was Accused Of Having
Purposely Intetered With 0p-
GRAFTON Of a Trolley Car.

James w. McAvoy was tried before
Judge sweetland today on the charge OF
obstructing street car.
According to the testimony OF the crew
on the car, McAvoy, who was driving a
horse attached TO a heavy wagon belong
ing to the National Biscuit company,
kept on the track on North Main, from
Doyle avenue. to Grand View street, a
distance OF one mile. with the exception
that at Pleasant street he pulled out over
and let the car go by.
The car was stopped to let a passenger
alight then he pulled upon the rails
again and logged and walked his horses.
The car was stopped. the conductor
stepped TO the front OF the wagon and
asked McAvoy why he didn't pull out
and let the car go by. The reply was
that he would get out when he got -
good and ready"
McAvoy said that the reason that he
didn't pull out was that he didn't hear
the gong of the car, and that the street
was torn up so that he couldn't take 10

heavily loaded and his spirited horse
was afraid of the steam road roller.
The state witnesses were recalled and
said that where the highway was torn
UP was three streets beyond the point
where McAvoy was specifically asked to
pull out Capt. Horton corroborated this
statement.
McAvoy denied that he used any
coarse language. What he did say to the
motorman was that he would pull out
just as soon as he got 10 a place where
he could safely do so. This he did a
minute later
The court said that there were extenu-
ating circumstances: he might not. ow-

su|ting From Appendicitis the Cause.

London, June "a. 1929 p. m.-The coro-
nation has been postponed indefinitely
on account of the indisposition of King
Edward.
King Edward is suffering from peri
typltls and is undergoing a surgical op-
Grafton.
The first news OF the renewed illness of
the king came from the House OF Com
mons, where various court officials gave
an intimation that the arrangements for
Thursday would better be suspended
forthwith. as the coronation would be
postponed indefinitely on account OF the
indisposition OF his majesty.

geant surgeon TO the king and was sur
geon extraordinary to the late Queen
Victoria.
The sudden announcement Of the post
ponement Of the coronation, just on the
eve OF the ceremony. caused the utmost
consternat tion everywhere. The news
spread like wildhre. The tens of thou
sands OF occupants OF the streets sud
denly stood still under the shock and
gazed at one another I'm silent dread OF
what might come next.
EFFECT STARTLING.
ON Saturday and Sunday society was
discussing the reports OF the kings illness
and though the circumstantiality, detail
and SOURCES from which they came pre-
cluded entire disbelief there was dis
position to doubt tho stories. and when
the positive, categorical deniel was offi-
cially issued they were dismissed as un-
founded.
Hasmorrhoids. apoplexy and lumbogo
were a few OF the kings maiadies dis
cussed in the clubs and drawing rooms.
and those discussing them recalled the
stories how the king even quite recently
reiterated his belief that he would never
live 10 be crowned.
Sir Francis X Molly. the kings pri-
vate secretary. has issued the official
medical announcement. as follows:

care his majesty would be able to 60

Whereas, Owing to the tariff fight
on Cuban sugar, which is now before
congress in Washington, jeopardizing

Whereas, Owing to the uncertainty
OF the final result OF this controversy,
there is no prospect OF any reliable
beet sugar company attempting to erect
any sugar factories in time to handle
the crop of 1902; and
Whereas, The people Of Lamar and
farmers In its vicinity are deeply inter
ested In the erection Of u sugar factory
at this point, and feeling that in order
to secure factory in the near future it
is necessary that an extensive acreage
from reliable beet growers be secured;
now, therefore be it
Resolved, That we recommend and
earnestly urge all parties who have
subscribed acreage for growing sugar
beets on condition OF a factory being To-
Gated at Lamar, and also all others in

SO doing, it will more firmly establish
in the minds Of any sugar company the
fact that this section is very desirable,

There was general rejoicing among
republicans over the state and espec-
tally in this section last week over
the re.appointment of Hon. @. D..
Ford as register Of the Denver land
office. He was one of the foremost
and most steadfast of the leaders who
rallied to the support of Mckinley
in 1895 and to his work was largely
due the fact that the state organizs-
tion was saved to the party. He was
later made chairman of the state
committee and devoted months of
hard and unceasing work to the task
Of reuniting the party in 1900, and
the remarkable gains made by the
party in that year were the result.
As q public official he has always
been noted for efficiency and cour-
teous treatment Of the public, and
the only charge made against him by
his enemies was his active work fol
the party. The character of the
gang who were trying to oust him
has made him more popular ever
than before with the party generally
in the state.

Wireless relesrapny In Lamar.

Wireless Telegraphy In Lamar.
Probably no question has afforded
a greater field of interest and inves-
tigation during the last few years
than the wireless telegraphy. Mar
conf, Tesla and Edison have pushed
their researches far beyond what has
been known heretofore concerning
this method of transmitting electri-
cal Impressions. But it is certain
that the greatest discoveries in this
field are yet to come. 1t has been
but a few weeks since Maroon
astonished the world with the an.
nouncement that he had received
signals sent across the Atlantic ocean.
All over the civilized world today
the inquiring minds of scientists are
investigating this subtle phenome-
non, and without doubt the future
has great developments in store.
The perfection of this system would
lead to results that few are able to
even conjecture. The remotest parts
of the earth would be brought into
immediate communication with each
other, existing cables and telegraph
lines would become useless; and bet.
ter than all, the system being simple
and inexpensive, would be within
reach of the masses. Fl
In this connection, it is interestin g
to note that our own electrician,
Fred Cooper, has made some very
successful experiments with wireless
telegraphy. Fred has succeeded for
some time in transmitting signals
for short distance. Last Monday,
however, by the use OF instruments
down town in connection with the
Wimshurst machine in the high
school labratory, signals were sent
from the main school building and

This is surely very promising

results. It is to be hoped, also, that
