Hob. A. W. Gilman. commissioner of
agriculture, Was at his Office in the
state House. Saturday. having arrived
from Penobscot county. where he had
been attending Farmers Institutes
during the week. The meetings were,
as they have been during the past sea-
son. very successful, being largely at
tended and productive of much valua-
bic instruction to the agricultural pop
ulatioi. of that section.
Mr.. Gilman Was anticipating much
pleasur" from the coming conference of
the State Dairymen's Association and
the department. of agriculture, which
will open in Auburn. hall at Auburn.
Tuesday, and continue through
"Wednesday and Thursday. MIR. Gilman
WAS very enthusiastic regarding the
conference and in speaking of it ex-
pressed the belief that as far as the at
tendance and the number of exhibits
We're concerned, it will be the largest
ever held in Maine.
An excellent program has been ar
ranged ior Wednesday and Thursday,
in which papers will be read by some of
the ablest authorities on agriculture
and stock raising in Maine and also by
some of the best known authorities
from other states. Among the latter
will be DIR. w. H. Jordan, director of
the experiment station at Geneva, N.
Y. and formerly director of the eXper-
iment station at the University of
Maine; George NJ. Whitaker of Bos
ton, inspector of the United States de-
partment of agriculture; p. NJ. Har-
wood of Boston, general agent of the
Massachusetts dairy bureau and under
whose direction the dairy laws of Mas
sachusetts are enforced.
Another interesting feature of the
conference will be the report of the
dairy instructor, Prof. S. c. Thompson
of Winterport, i'm which it is expected
that Prof. Thimpson will report the
amount Of work that has been done
during the year and also report that
the amount of poor cream in the State
has decreased since his work began. 1t
is also expected that the report Will
demonstrate that the action of the
Legislature of 1903. in creating the office
of dairy instructor was a wise one
Prof. Thompson has the distinction of
having been the first dairy instructor
to be appointed in New England and is
thus far the only one.
In connection with the conference
banquet will be given at Odd Fellows
hall in Auburn, at $50, Wednesday
evening, to which as to the sessions of
Wednesday and Thursday. all are cor
daily invited.

POLICE SHOULD
USE SHOTCUNS
Judge Lawlor Gives Express
sion to His. Ideas as to
Way to Deal With Crooks

While passing sentence upon two
burglars yesterday Judge Lawlor said
among other things:
If the Chief of Police, when dealing
with offenders in the winter months,
when these characters come from all
parts of the country to this favored
community, would provide his officers
with shotguns out upon the street to
shoot down such offenders there
would be less infiction of this class
of crime upon this city.
The two burglars were Joseph NJ
Lang, a boy 10 years of age, and Jo-
seph NJ. Wallace. They were each SEN
fenced to serve fifteen years in Folsom
penitentiary. They pleaded guilty to
charge of burglary, and a charge of
robbery against them was placed on
the reserve calendar.
On the morning of February 23 they
opened the window of the room occu-
pied by j. r. McMahan at 341 Jessie
street and entered. McMahan was
awakened bv the noise, and on
asking what they wanted was told to
hand over his coin. Lang held a re-
volver at his head while Wallace
searched his clothes. McMahan slipped
out of the room, remarking that he
would get some more from the "old
woman" He went to the room of Eu-
gene Wright and got Wright's shotgun,
but there were no cartridges. He ran
to the corner grocery and got some
cartridges.
Meantime Lang and Wallace had en-
tered Wright's room and held him and
his wife up, taking a gold watch and IS
in coin from them. McMahan returned
about that time, and when Wallace
saw him he pulled a revolver out of his
pocket, but McMahan was too quick
for him and fired, wounding him Sc
verely in the arm. Lang had served
two terms for petty larceny, and Wal
lace admitted having served term for
burglary committed in Riverside.
The Judge in speaking of the matter
later said: Il am not casting any re-
Election upon the Police Department
The number of police is inadequate for
the proper protection of the city, and
the crooks know it. That is why they
come here. Owing to the hilly nature
of this city it is difficult to catch them
in the act. The only way to deal with
these gentry is to shoot them when
caught committing a robbery or burg
larry. If a robber held me up 1 would
shoot him If I had the chance, and
every citizen should do the same. That
is the only way to rid the city of that
Glass;
Chief Whitman when informed of
Judge Lawlor's remarks said he would
be glad if the Legislature passed an
act giving him that power. At present.
he said, his officers could only arrest
offenders and allow the courts to deal
with them.

MASCAGNI GIVES LESSON
TO AN ORGAN GRINDER

LONDON, July 9.-When Mascagni
was in London an organ grinder one
day played under his window the fam
Gus intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusti
cana" AS the man played, he turned
the organ faster and faster until the
air was more like waltz than an in
termezzo. At last Mascagni could bear
it no longer, and rushing out of the
house he gave the organ grinder a
shilling and said
'I have heard that air at the opera,
and 1 think that you are playing It
too fast. Let me show you how it
ought to be played"
The composer then played the inter
mezzo through in the proper time and
went back to the house.
A few days afterward the organ
grinder returned to the street and Mas
cagni was delighted to hear the inter-

MISSING CAPTAIN RIDES
AUTOMOBILES EVERY NIGHT
Charles Ackerman, Supposed to Have
Been Sandbagged, Is Still De-
cidedly on Deck.

Captain Charles Ackerman, who dis
appeared last Wednesday with a check
for $500 belonging to the California
and Oregon Steamship Company, has
not been sandbagged nor has he left
town. He has been seen automobiling
and popping wine corks in several
places. There is no warrant out for
his arrest.
On his last trip on the Prentiss Cap
tain Ackerman was reprimanded for
bringing three Los Angeles friends
two of them being of the gentler sex,
to this city. Ackerman was indignant
and proceeded to drown his troubles
in sea of champagne. He is re-
ported to be assisted in this task by
the ladies mentioned.
Captain of Detectives Martin says
that he has not been instructed to look
for Ackerman or his companions.
When the bibulous captain tires of
treading the primrose path he will
probably return to his ship and square
matters with his employers. He has
a wife, who lives at South Park.
The stories printed of Alderman being
led astray by his passengers are en-
tirely false.

MILLIONS
LOSE LIVES IN WARS

PARIS, July IA French statistician
has just made a calculation showing
that in the last century $4,000, 900 men
were killed in war. He has read thou
sands Of pages in history and spent
more than three years in preparing his
tables.
In a preface to his volume he sug-
gests that the only really effective
method to completely populate the
world Is for all nations to unite to sup
press war for at least a century.
When asked if he had considered the
fact that in many places the world Is
already over populated he had no ready
reply.
Another Frenchman who has given
the voluminous tables a great deal OF

ORDER
FOR A CORPSE
United UndertakerS Present
Deputy Coroner a Docu-
ment That Proves False

Coroner Leland proposes TO put a stop
to the struggle for bodies of victims of
accidental deaths, murders or suicides
which are taken to the Morgue. A de-
nberate case of signing a relatives
name TO an order by the United Under
takers was called to his attention yes
terday morning by Deputy Coroner
Brown. AS . result P. ]. Barry and P.
Hansen were on the carpet for fifteen
minutes and received a severe lecture
for their action. The case is not settled
preferred against them.
Clara Trainer, a young woman from
Gilroy, committed suicide at 730 Com
mercial street on July Z by taking car
bolic acid. The body was taken to the
Morgue and an autopsy performed.
Yesterday morning P. ]. Barry Of the
United Undertakers presented an order
at the Coroner's Office for the body of
clara Traynor" It was signed Mamie
Traynor, sister of deceased" Barry
was not ready then to take the corpse
away, but a few moments after he left
Halsted & Co. called up the Morgue by
telephone and asked whether they could
have the body to ship to Gilroy on the
evening train. Deputy Brown asked by
what right Halsted asked for the body,
and was Informed that Miss Trainer,
sister of the dead woman, was in their
office at that moment and wanted them
10 take charge. Miss Trainer told
Brown over the telephone that she had
not signed any order for the body to be
given 10 the United Undertakers, and
later she called at the Morgue and
pronounced the signature q forgery.
Later Barry and Hansen were sum-
rnoned to the Coroner's office and con-
fronted by the woman. She said they
had asked her TO sign the order, but
that she refused. Her name is spelled
Trainer" while the record on the book
at the Morgue had the name Of her sis
ter .aTraynor," and it was signed in
that way on the order presented by
Barry. The latter said he had signed
the order on account Of a telegram
from the girls mother, who instructed
his firm to hold the body until relatives
called.
Miss Trainer said she left Gilroy Friday
night at S:15 o'clock Yesterday morn
ing she was talking oyer the telephone
with her mother, who told her that the
United Undertakers had wired her that
they had Clara's body and wanted in
structious. Miss Trainer had instruc-
tions from her mother to take full
charge. and upon investigation found
that the body Of her sister was still at
the Morgue and that her mother had
not given any orders to the United IN
dertakers. Notwithstanding Mrs. Train
er's refusal to do so, the forged order
was presented at the Coroner's Office.
Coroner Leland says he will investi-
gate the matter further. and Miss
Trainer may press the charge Of for
gerry
