AT SPRINGFIELD.
Armory Dedicated-Speaks at the Lin
coin Monument.

Springfield, Ills, June 4.-President
Roosevelt spent four hours in Spring
field, today, during which time he
dedicated the new State arsenal and
armory erected at a cost of $3.50, 900. do
mated by the citizens of Springfield,
and addressed the Lincoln Mckinley
Veteran Voters Association at the Lin
coin monument
The Presidents special train arrived
over the Chicago & Alton at 1915
o'clock. Business houses and resi-
dences We're deliberately decorated.
From the railway station to the
arsenal the President was escorted by
Gov. Yates, state, federal, county and
city officials and a detachment of state
troops. Five thousand school children
waved flags as the procession passed.
Among the thousands who heard the
President speak was Co. H of the Sth
Regiment (coloreO, I. N. G. After
greeting the Veterans Association, the
President said:
ut seems to me eminently fitting that
the guard around the tomb of Lincoln
should be composed of colored soldiers.
1t was my own good fortune at Santi-
ago to serve beside colCred troops. A
man who is good enough to shed his
blood for his country is good enough to
be given a square deal afterward. More
than that NO man is entitled to and less
than that no man shall have"
At the conclusion of the Presidents
speech luncheon was served at the
Executive mansion to the Presidential
party. after which the President re-
ceived the local reception committee
and the Hamilton Club of Chicago,
which had come down in body.
At o'clock, the Presidential party
departed over the Wabash Railroad for
Decatur, Ills.

THE PROTESTED GAMES
In lnterscholastic League Will Be
Settled, June s, al Brunswick.

The managers of the Edward Little,
Lewiston, Leavitt and Coburn BAN
teams met at the institute building
here, Thursday afternoon, at the call
of President Allen of the league for the
purpose OF hearing the protested games
discussed. The manager of Cony High
Of Augusta, was the only one of the
five rot present
There are now three contested games
to be settled by the managers of the
five teams. One of these is the CO.
burn Edward Little, which was played
in Auburn. and in which Coburn claims
that her battery signals were given
away to the Edward Little batters by
the umpire. Her suspicious of this
were so strong that she decided to pro-
test the game and have both sides OF
the question aired in the way prescrib-
ed by the rules of the league. Coburn
is confident that she can make out q
very strong case, but after giving her
reasons for protesting at the meeting,
Thursday. Edward Little raised the
point that as one manager was absent
the matter should be postponed until
meeting of the full board could be held
so the matter was left undecided.
The second protest is made by Cony
who claims a game from LeaVitt by
forfeit under the following cOnditions
These teams had game scheduled for
Il certain date, but about the time it
was to be played one of the trustees of
the Leavitt Institute died, and the team
could not play the game on the an
pointed day. Cony claims the game
should go to her by default, but Leavitt
claims that under the conditions this
ou-Ft not to be allowed.
The third protest is made by Edward
Little in the game recently played with
Leavitt In this the former team was
not satisfied with the umpiring and OBJ
irctcd so strenously that q new man
was nut in. Five innings had been
played when there was very close de-
cision at home plate that Edward Lit
tie considered was against her and her
captain Withdrew his team from the
field instead of playing it out and en-
teling his protest afterwards.
None Of these questions were decided
at the meeting. Thursday, as it was
postponed 20 Monday, June 8, when it
will be held in Brunswick and it is
hoped that all of the managers will be
present.
4 good deal depends on the result of
C0hurn's protest for if she wins her
case and gets the game it will make
her a tie with Lewiston and Edward
Little for first place, but if she loses it
viii throw her out of the race for the
pennant.

REPUDIATE AGREEMENT,
Lynn Building Laborers Union Will Not
Hold to Their Word.

Lynn, Mass, June 4.-Because the
Board of Trade Arbitration committee
in its decision settling the building la
borers strike against the master ma
sons inserted a clause from the agree
ment of the Boston union with the Bos-
ton master builders providing against
discrimination against union or nom
union men, the committee of building
laborers' union and building trades
council has repudiated the agreement
whereby they pledged themselves to
abide by the arbitration decision, and,
today, refused to return to work.
Both unions had a meeting, this
morning, and protested against the
clause, refusing to accept the arrange
ment made by the committee, although
it gave an increase in wages. They
declare it n slap at organized labor.
The arbitration committee explains
that the clause was in the Boston
agreement of 1902 and so copied as they
supposed that what Boston accepted
would be acceptable to the Lynn men
in this matter.
