COLLECTING BOARD BILLS
DsliEqnsnss in This Line Fusnish
 rSuch Business fer COnssahlss.

The number of people in this city who do not pay their board must be very large, for two or three constables appear to be getting fat collecting such bills. This singular delinquency fur nishes considerable business for cer~ tain lawyers, and at present they seem 10 be quite busy. Whether it was that some people preferred to eat on credit previous to the holidays and save their money for Santa Claus. they are paying for their selfishness now, for almost every constable In the city has his pocket full of board bills to collect
 Factory hands furnish the greater part of this kind Of law business. They hang up the landlady week after week for no apparent reason, for they work right along, and when the cons stable calls upon them later they ex=t press great surprise at the amount of the bill They did not think 1t had been running so long. They furnish the most peculiar excuses, but find every door of escape closed. Pay they must, and not only the bill for board but also the constable's fee, which ia usually about $5 if the bill came from lawyers office, or about 10 per cene if he undertakes the collection on his own hook. But usually such bills come through lawyers office and are generally accompanied by writ to ar rest the delinquent If he declines to pay.
 Wednesday afternoon and evening and Thursday are the good days in Waterbury to collect such bills and to-day the constables were quite busy calling upon delinquent boarders.

An Issue With Western
Miners.

Denver, Colo May 23.-The annual
convention of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners met today and organiz-
ed for one of the most important ses-
sions ever held. Two hundred and
fifty delegates representing locals
from Michigan to California and from
British Columbia to Old Mexico an
swered the roll-call. Little was &C.
complished today.
The convention is confronted with
the serious problem In the selection of
a president for the ems; 'ng year.
President Meyer, whose prosecution
by the military authorities has made
him the favorite candidate, is still a
prisoner in the bull pen at Telluride
The constitution of the Federation
stipulates that no member can be
elected president of the organization
unless he is on the convention floor
and there Is not now time to change
the bylaws TO meet the emergency
for this year. The delegates, how
ever, are favorable to violating the by
laws and re-electing Meyer.
Secretary-treasurer w. D. Haywood
Is slated for reelection.
The principal questions to be SEA
tied by the convention are connected
with the method of conducting strikes
in Colorado. AffiliatIon with the

count of the strike of the flremen and
oilers on the New York, New Haven

Instead of leaving here at 5:35 p.
m. today the time of departure was
made 4:45 O'Clock. The trip will be
over the Pennsylvania to New York
and then over the West Shore to AL
bany and finally over the Boston &
Albany lines. The president is accom-
panied only by his sister-in-law, Miss
Carew, Secretary Loeb and several
members of his executive staff. A
private car attached to the federal ex-
press carried the party. Arriving at
Groton about noon, the president will
spend the day at the school and the
return trip will be begun about 9
o'clock in the evening.
President Roosevelt will reach
Washington again at 9:45 o'clock
Wednesday morning.
