BATES DEBATING TEAMS.
Preparations for Contests With Trim
ty and 3. U. Law School.

Lewiston, Me-, March 20.-(SpeciaD
Preparations for the debates with
Trinity College, and Boston University
Law School have created much interest
among the students of Bates during
the last few weeks. After much hest
tation, and some very close decisions
the two teams, and their alternates
have been selected from the score OF
more students who We're eager to par
ticipate. The college is, however, sat-
isfied that /. will be well represented
The team that completes with Trinity
is composed of Carroll l.. Beedy '03 O.
Lewiston, Judson C. Briggs '04 of Carl
bou, and Norris S. Lord, '03 of Lin
erick; the alternate is Lowell e. Bailey
'03 of North Arson. The men who
will meet the Boston University Law
School are, Frederick NJ. Swan, Jr. '0z
of Providence, r. l., Albion X. Spot
ford, South Paris, and Guy l.. Wey-
mouth '04, Greene; Harry M. Townt
'O3. East Parsonsfield is alternate.
All the debaters have had experience
in their preparatory schools, and dur
ing their college course. Carroll L.
Beedy was graduated from the Lewis
ton High school in 1899. He always
participated in the interscholastic de-
bates while in high school, and repre-
scented Lewiston High in debates with
several of the large preparatory schools
of this State. He won many honors
at high school. In the fall term OF
his sophomore year he won the first
prize for sophomore declarations al
Bates; again in the spring of the same
year Mr.. Beedy received prize of $50
for excellence in debate. The junior
prize of SIS went to Mr.. Beedy fol
original orations. He is considered the
strongest debater at Bates now, and
has already spoken in two intercolle
giate contests, Judson Briggs, Mr..
Beedy's colleague against Trinity, has
been very successful as a college de-
batter and speaker. He graduated al
Caribou High school in 1900. In his
sophomore year he won prize of ter
dollars for debate, and was chosen al
ternate on the team that defeated the
senior class debating team from Har
ward. Mr.. Briggs has exceptional
powers for clear, reasoning, logic, ana
extemporaneous speaking. Beside ex-
ceiling in literary lines Mr.. Briggs il
one of the best athletes at Bates. He
played full-back on last years var
sity eleven, and is considered fast
track man. The third member of the
team, Norris S. Lord, prepared for
Bates at Limerick High school where
he received his diploma in 1899. In
literary work Mr.. Lord has received
the highest honors throughout his col
lege course, and is recognized as one
of the ablest thinkers on the debating
teams. The question these three men
are to debate is, "Resolved: That
combinations of capital, commonly
known as trusts, are likely to prove
detrimental to the best interests OF So
ciety." Trinity has the affirmative.
The members of the team for the
Boston University Law School debate
nave had as much experience, and are
as strong as the team selected tc
compete with Trinity. Frederick NJ
Swan received his training in the

STRIKE TALK
Remains About the Same in the
Big Mill Cities.
Lowell, Fall River and New Bedford
Situations Little Changed.
Operatives Firm in. Their Request for
Better Wages.

LomeiY,m Mass, March 2o.-While
there Wasna great deal Of arbitration
talk ItAea mill situation, today, and
here, the stories were based on rumor
rather than fact.
1t is thought that business men are
talking of asking the state board to
intervene in the event Of a declara-
ton of strike, but matters have not
assumed form in that direction.
AS for the story that the Textile
Council will ask for an international
board to come here, there is no such
board In the first place, and the coun-
ell does not contemplate any such
action in the second. There was one
union meeting held, that of the mule
spinners, but it was a regular session,
and the principal business was the
election of officers.
Tomorrow, the conference commit
tee of the Textile Council will meet
to frame the report of the conference
to be given to the council on Sunday.
All but two of the members worked in
the mills, today, and did not have the
time to prepare the report.
While there is a general belief that
the council at it's Sunday meeting will
vote for a strike, the program as now
understood is that the conference COM
mittee shall present it's report, and
that the delegates shall then carry
it back to their unions for such action
as they may see fit to take.
II a majority of the unions should
vote in favor of 1t then the council
would vote to order it, and would at
once assume full charge.

change made in the old boundary lines
was the taking of section of terri
