MILITARY
SKILL TO
Be TESTED
Award in Competitive Drill at
Worcester Was Not Fair TO
Providence Company.

Captain Malachi Kelly OF Company B,
mand consider that they have just cause
for grievance and they are determined to
challenge Company OF Worcester to
prize drill OF $500 "A side.
The local company went to Worcester
Mass. yesterday and on the fair grounds
drilled In competition with Company A.
of the Second Regiment. Massach chusetts
Volunteer Militia; Company c, Of the
Sixth Regiment OF Lowell.
IL il alleged that after the Providence
company finished. and they made a splen-
did showing. the judges said that they
had not seen the double time or the man
ual OF arms Captain Kelly was requested
10 repeat these movements and he con-
sented. The result OF the drill was not
made known until after President Roose-
Welt had left the grounds. The judges
then announced that first prize. $500, had
been won by Company OF Worcester.
The greatest surprise existed In the minds
OF all the Providence visitors. and some
OF the Worcester citizens admitted that
the contest was exceedingly close. When
Captain Kelly asked how many points he
stood behind the first company he was
told that they did not know how many
points, but that In the opinion OF the
judges Company A Of Massachusetts, was
superior
A member Of Company B said that
one OF the judges remarked that the only
mistake made by the Providence company
was the carelessness Of one private In los
ing his hat. Captain Kelly's company
won second money, 5000. and the Lowell
soldiers took the 500 for third place.
Captain Kelley declares that the qucs-
tion OF superiority will be tested at an
early date and on neutral grounds.

More than 200 girl operators in the
employ of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in New York are re-
jolcing over an increase in salary.
Nearly all Of them ascribe their good
fortune To- the kindly Offices Of Miss
Helen Gould.
Il was stated by one who has the
confidence Of the girl operators that
the increase was brought about by a
petition signed by over 100 women tel.
egraphers and sent to Miss Gould in
the shape of a round robin.
The agitation among the operators
looking toward the formation of a
strong national union Of commercial
and railroad telegraphers has been a
source of much worry to the women
telegraphers. In the big strike which
occurred several years ago none of the
operators was more loyal to the cause
than the girls, and none suffered 50
severely. The strike brought about
a classification and reduction in sal
aries until the operators were making
barely a living.
All these facts were cited in the pc
