BURGLAR CAUGHT.
Wntchmam Lawson Discovered Man in
 the Globe Silk Works

Last night shortly before 10 o'clock Charles Lawson, watchman in the Hooker carriage factory on State street, heard @ noise in the Globe silk works, which is on the upper floor of the building. He went up to investi- gate and as he did so man started to run down the stairs. The watchman drew his pistol and told the man to halt or he would fill him full of holes. The man did so and the watchman took him to Hookers office. He had two light coats in his arms and in the sleeves were pushed two big bundles of drab silk, worth the police say, about $30. The watchman sent a pas serby for Patrolman Dorman, who placed the man under arrest and took him to headquarters, where he was charged with burglary. He gave the name of Charles w. Monroe, and said that his home was in New York city, and that he had been here three days, He said he came originally from Sweden, that he was thirty-five years old, and that he is cook. He is five feet three and one-half inches high and is of light complexion. It is believed that he got into the shop before the doors were locked and that he hid un- til all the employees had left and he then went to work.

RELIANCE TAKES 4 SPIN.
Stretches Some New SaiIs-gnI Start for
 New Rochelle To-day.

Bristol, R. l., June 2.-The Reliance was taken down Narragansett Bay this afternoon on a sail-stretching trip There was a very light wind from the mort heast at o'clock, when the Reii- ance started away from her mooring, but later good strong breeze came from the southwest and a number of strong puffs struck the yacht, knocking her down until the lee rail was awash. She Soon recovered and the small jib- topsail was then taken in to ease her up. The sails improved more and more as the strong breeze filled them out The mainsail stretched away well out toward the end of the boom and gaff, and it was hoisted so that the jaws of the gaff were more than two feet above the spreaders.
 The boat will probably go out to-mor- row afternoon to try some other top sails and headsaiIs which have been recut, and it is likely that she will pro- ceed to New Rochelle either late in the Afternoon or on Thursday morning.

POSTOFFICE SCANDALS.
INVESTIGATION PROCEEDING AS
 RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE.
Officials Hope to Close Their Inquiry by August 1.-The Co., Betweens in the Transactions With Machen Said to Live tn Toledo, the Former Home of the Accused.


 the Accused.
 Washington, June 2.-The investiga- ton Of affairs at the postoffice depart ment is proceeding as rapidly as possi- ble, and the Investigating officials hope to close their inouiries by August |. Postmaster General Payne said to-day that all the salient points of the investi- gation probably would be disposed of by the end of this month, but that the rest of the work might continue for con- siderable time. The only development announced at the department to-day was the promulgation of the letter of Former First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, who enters a denial of the Tulloch charges.
 The go-between, it is alleged, who fig ured in transactions which led to the arrest of August w. Machen, the former general superintendent Of the free de- livery system, are understood to be members of a firm in Toledo, O., the former home of MT. Machen. Although it is known authoritatively that there are several parties whose arrests may be decided on at any time, Postmaster General Payne said tonight that so far as he is advised no immediate arrests are in contemplation.
 The preliminary hearing of MT. Mach en before United States commission CT, which is scheduled for next Friday may be rendered unnecessary in case the grand jury should report an indict- ment against him. The case will be presented to that body tomorrow, when a number of witnesses subpoenaed by the government will make their aD- pearance An indictment will relieve the government. from the necessity of disclosing it's evidence prior to the trial of the case in court and would require the re-arrest of Macfen on a bench warrant and the furnishing of fresh bonds.
 Postmaster General Payne some weeks ago hoped that the would be able to make ct least preliminary report to President Roosevelt on his return to Washington but the investigation has extended so much more widely than was originally contemplated and the end is yet so far off that no formal statement at this time is likely, though soon after the presidents return MT. Payne will report to him informally on the work that has been done.

DANGER OF A COAL STRIKE
ANOTHER DARK CLOUD OYER
 THE ANTHRACITE REGION.
Leaders Determined to Make the Opera Eors Accept the Three District Presi- dents on the Board of Con They Are Not Accepted as Members a Strike May be Ordered.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 2.-Another rizon of the anthracite coal region to- day. The executive boards of the United Mine Workers in session here endorsed the selection of their three dis trict presidents on the board of concil- iation, authorized by the strike commits sion and if these members are not rec ognized by the operators, the executive boards will contemplate calling a con- vention of mine workers to declare a general suspension of work until their members are given recognition.
 The district presidents, as a result of to-day's meeting, issued the following statement tonight on the dispute:
 "At joint meeting of the executive boards of the anthracite region here to- day the members selected to represent the mine workers of each district on the conciliation board. reported that the representatives of the operators refused
 
 to recognize them or the mine workers credentials, or accept them as members of the conciliation board. They report ed that the operators objected on the ground that the mine workers repre- sentatives were appointed by their or ganizations as it exists in tach district. The award of the commission relative to the manner of selecting the members of the conciliation board. provides as follows;
 That is to say, if there shall be a di- vision of the whole region into three dis tricts in each of which there shall exist an organization, representing a maiori- ty of the none workers of each district, one member of said boards of concilia- tion shall be appointed>by each of said organizations and three other persons shall be appointed by the operators, the operators, in each of said districts, ap- pointing one person.
 "The district boards are still of the opinion that they appointed their rep- resentatives as provided for by the sec- tion of the award and voted unanimous ly to reaffirm their former action. The district officers have been exceedingly anxious to have the conciliation board for and meet for the purpose of adjust ing many grievances which have accu- mu1ated and to this end have been bending their energies. The officers have advised, where grievances arose. that the men would not strike and where strikes occurred, ordered them back to work, pending decision by the conciliation board which they hoped would soon be formed in accordance with the commissions awards. The questions were under consideration by the meeting to-day-one is to make ap- plication to the national president of the mine workers to issue an order for a general suspension of work through out the whole anthracite region, to con- tinue until the operators agree to adjust existing grievances and live up to the award of the anthracite strike commits sion; the second is that a delegate con- vention be called to consider the advisa- bility of taking the above action.''
 Another meeting will be held to-mor- row to decide as to whether a suspen- sion of work will be ordered.

 e New Panel Drawn of Thirty five
 Men-CompIaimt That First Panel
 Was Illegally Drawn OverruIed.
 Waterbury, June 2.-At the adjourn nlent of the superior court this evening only eight jurors had been selected for the trial of the eight trolleymen, charg- ed with the assault with intent to mur- der Conductor William Merna and Mo- torman George Morrissette at Fabers Switch on the Waterville line.

 Henry H. Griswold. farmer, Guilford.
 Wilbert H. Potter, farmer Guilford.

 Charles H. Jorey, farmer, Orange. Clayton Sears, lineman, Oxford.
 Henry B. Treat, farmer, Oxford.
 One other proved satisfactory to both sides and was given a seat, but was later excused. He is Everett B. Clark of Orange.
 The defense excused fifteen talesmen, the state ten and the court eight Judge Thayer ordered Clerk Marsh to draw thirty-five more talesmen from New Haven. Ansonia, Derby, Beacon Falls and East Haven.
 Early in the trial MT. Kennedy for the defense presented motion stating that the panel had been illegally drawn, that the jury box was not at all times in the possession of Clerk Anketell of the New Haven court, that it was in the custody of other parties who had easy access to it and Furthermore that the jury was illegally drawn inasmuch as it was made up entirely of men from the small towns and that the cities were not represented. When Judge Thayer called for testimony, Mr. Kennedy produced Edwin c. Stevens, court messenger at New Haven, and John c. Gallagher, assistant clerk of the New Haven court. Their testi- mony was to the effect that John C. Gallagher, in whose possession the box was left, gave it into the charge of Stevens, and that when Assistant Clerk March of this city went to New Haven and drew the talesmen in the presence of Sheriff Durham and Corut Messen- ger Stevens there was no New Haven clerk or assistant clerk present. The demurrer was finally overruled.
