STOLEN
STOCK IS
found

Lexington. Mass, Sept IA sachel
containing shares Of stock and a mem
orandum book, which were stolen from
the rooms OF Mrs. l.. c.. Butler at the
Hotel Sweetwater, Bedford Springs, Sep
tember s, were found today hidden In
heap OF stones not far from the scene or
the robbery.
The jewelry and money, however,
which were also stolen could not be
found The discovery was made today by
n man named Peter Dolan, who was re-
pairing a section OF Sweetwater avenue.
He Immediately notified the police, who
took charge OF the satchel and contents.
Further search for the missing money
and tewelry was unavailing and the mys-
tery OF the robbery Is still as deep as
when II was first committed.
The. Sweetwater crime was one OF pc
culiar daring and conception. on the
night OF September 8. some person at
present unknown to the police rode up
to the hotel on horseback II Is believed
that by standing up on the animals back
the man was able 10 reach a portico un-
der Mrs. Buffers window. From there an
easy entrance was gained 10 the room
and the apartment ransacked without
awakening the sleeping woman. The
crime was discovered the next morning
when Mrs. Butler but until today the
police were unable 10 find a single clue
in the case.

TOMORROW ANOTHER FIELD
DAY FOR NATURALIZATION

Tomorrow will be another "hed day
for naturalization in the United States
court before Judge Brown. But there will
he only one session and that at 10 o'clock.
and among the number is another woman.
Miss Arzelie n. Cartier OF 30 Garfield
street Central Falls.
In her declaration. she says she was
born IN Canada in 1876 and when q year
old infant was brought 70 the States by
her parents and has ever resided In Rhode
Island with the exception OF brief pc
riod OF time passed In Connecticut
She Is both bright and prepossessing x
and her vocation is that OF nurse. Unlike
Miss Fisken Of Pawtucket. who was natu-
rallied last Saturday. she is not woman
sufragist and expresses no eager desire
TO vote IN this or any other state OF the
Union. But she has higher aims. She
hopes to perfect herself In her profes-
sion and. at no far distant day, visit the
leading hospitals " Europe and possibly
qualify herself by arduous study as well
as observation and practice. 20 become
a specialist in the medical profession In
that event her papers as an American
citizen would be invaluable IN sojourn-
Ing on the continent.
There Were % naturalized az tho two
sessions last Saturday. but Clerk Cross
expects hardly a third of that number AT
t0morrows session.

SCHOONERS
COLLIDE
AT NIGHT

Chatham. Mass, Sept 22.-The two
masted schooner Herbert bound from
Rockport. Mass, for Newport. II. L., with
a cargo OF granite, was In collision early
today about 20 miles OFF Chatham. with
an unknown schooner. bound east.
The bowsprit and headgear OF the Her
bert were carried away. and as result
OF the accident she is partly disabled and
leaking The plight OF the schooner was
observed during the morning by the life
saving crew at the Nauset station. The
malnsan OF the unknown schooner was
torn.
According 10 Capt. ]. d. Perry OF the
Herbert the other vessel resumed her
voyage after the collision without offer
ing assistance
The captain and crew OF the Herbert,
numbering four men, believe that the
schooner which struck this vessel was
bound for ST. John and some other
provincial port from the south.
She was apparently light. As 1t was
dark. however. when the collision oc-
CURED. the crew OF the Herbert could not
discern the name OF the vessel, when
resumed her course east directly atter the
accident.
II was observed that her mainsail was
badly ripped The only explanation that
Captain Perkins could offer OF the col
lision was that IN the thick gloom the men
at the wheels failed TO observed the lights
OF the other schooner.
Shortly after daybreak, the Herbert was
sighted at anchor between Orleans and
Nauset station. She was boarded later by
Captain Walker OF the Nauset guard,
with several OF the life savers. who as
sisted in getting the Herbert underway
The schooner proceeded north. leaking.
At the request OF Captain Perkins, Cap
tain Walker sent a dispatch 20 the Rock
port agent OF the Herbert, asking that a
tugboat be sent from Boston 10 tow the
damaged schooner 10 that port.
The Herbert IL a vessel OF ia tons and
was built at East Boston in 1883. Her
home port Is Gloucester.

THE FIELD

OF LABOR

The following unions will hold sessions
tonight:
Central Trades and Labor Union.
Structural Iron Workers, Labor Tenn
Pile
Electrical Workers, 25S Exchange place.
Plumbers. Labor Temple.
Carpenters Council, Labor Temple.
c. l.. u. TO CHOSE DELEGATES.
About the most important matter 10
come before the meeting OF the Central
Trades and Labor union tonight at the
session will be the choosing OF delegate
10 represent Providence and this state at
the convention Of the American Fedora
tion OF Labor
The duty OF sending delegate 10 the
convention devoves upon the central
body more heavily now Owing 10 the ac-
ton taken az the state Federation con-
vention when II was announced that that
body would send no delegate. IL Is best
for the interest OF all the organizations
OF the state that there be a delegate on
hand when the convention opens so as TO
guard the interests OF the workingmen
OF this section
Last year there was but one delegate
sent from Rhode Island. Mr. j. H.
O'Nen OF the moldcrs' union being the
one 10 go. This year 10 Is not decided
just who will receive the honor az the
hands OF the central trades and labor
union. There are a number OF the promi-
ncnt officers Of the union who would
doubtless accept the honor but II would
seem that when all things are considered
Mr. l.. A. Grace OF the teamstcrs' union
Is the most logical candidate. he being
the general organizer Of tho F.of L. I'm
this state and the man whom the con-
ventlon will ho most likely 10 expect
He has made no canvass among his
friends Tor the honor but Il Is thought
his name will be proposed and since he
has been such q powerful factor IN all
the good moves taken for the best inter-
est % the body and the labor movement
IN this state lie has won a number of
friends and has sought such few favors
from the body for himself that there Is
almost no question but that thcy will ac-
cord 10 him this honor.
There will be several other matters of
Importance 10 come before the meeting
also hence a very lively time is expected
