ON GRANDDAUGHTER SPORTS

gathered i'm a larger collection of
medals than has been won i'm the past
seven years by Denning. the big and
nopular RoWdoin capt;uin. For three
years at Kent's Hill he won the weight
events at the interscholastic meets.
ana for four years at BoWdCin he has
done the same thing at the Maine col
lege field days and at the New Eng
land meet ut Worcester. In addition
to the 80 or 40 medals of gold, silver
and bronze. secured by winning first
and cecond places, he has won several
for bre aking Maine and New England
records. The intrinsic value of his
medals is several hundred dollars.
while of course from the point Of
view of college athlete the collection
is priceless.
The biggest surprise of the day was
the defeat of Wyman. the L. of NJ.
star quarter miller, by Kimball of Bow
doin. Last year Wyman was beaten
at the tape by Weld of Bowdoin in a
desperate burst of speed which broke
the Maine record. 1t was known that
Wynlan WAS running in splendid form
this spring, and fearing that he would
cided to withdraw Weld from the
quarter and start him i'm the two dash
eS where he was regarded as certain of
points. Kimbal1, an unknown quaint
ity. was put in the quarter. The
OrcnO boys had never heard of him
ana a victory by Wyman was regard
ed on all sides as Il fOregOne conclu-
sion. AS consequence there was
pandamonium among the RowdOin
roOters and Il pail of gloom over the
Orono contingent when kimball shot
by Wyman ut the last turn and came
down the stretcl: a winner by yards.
This unexpected victory was Il recon-
pense to Eowdoin for the points which
Weld failed to get in the dasheS as the
result of = strained tendon which
threw him to the ground as though

NOTES OF THE FIELD DAY.
Sideiehts on Last Saturdays Contests
Between the Four Colleges.

Robinson. the RoWdOin runner who
easily won both the one mile and two
mile races ut Orono. Saturday. is the
son of Prof. r. c. Robinson of the
Rowdoin faculty. In his own student
days Professor Robinson was a promi-
nent Oarsman.
The work of Coombs of Colby in the
field events was remarkably good, par
ticularly i'm the shot, for 4 man who
has been devoting all his time to base
ball. Thatcher of the L. of NJ nine
has also done little or no training on
the track. this spring. but he came out
and won the broad jump and took sec
ono place in the low hurdles.
The eight points won by Colby ut the
Intercollegiate field day ut Orono,
Saturday. We're more than it has won
at any field day since that of 1900 when
it carried off Il. Bates, on the con-
trary, in getting only four points had
to be content with the smallest num-
Der it has ever won since the field day
was established i'm 1895.
The different events We're run off
promptly and smoothly, rejecting
much credit upon the L. of NJ. man
agement and upon the various officials
chosen. No official deserves more
credit fer the success of the meet in
this respect than Herbert L. SWEET of
SkoWheCan. the clerk Of course. who
has been an official mt many of these
field days and thoroughly understands
every detail connected with Them
With stars like Denning in the
weights. Tobey in the hurdles, Robin
son ard Shorey in the long runs.
Everett in the half mile and Kimball
in the quarter. BowdOin ought to win
more points at the New England col
legc field day at Worcester, next SAT-
urday. than it has won there for sew
eral years. Between Porter i'm the
dashcs and Shaw in the pole vault. the
University of Maine has also the right
to expect a few points.
Last Saturdays intercollegiate field
day at OrOnO was the 18th i'm which
| the four Maine colleges have par
| ticipated. Bowdoin has won 10 of
| them and L. of NJ. one. In total
number of points Bowdoin has won
s5O1k; L. of NJ. 3671a; Bates, 1884,. and
| Colby 9212. This years field day was
the first in the second series of 10 for
the possession of a second massive sill
Yer cup, suitably inscribed. Next
years field day will be held at Lewis
| ten.
Bates lost one point at the college
field day at orono thru ngh the mistak-
en- zeal of a Bates man who was
standing beside the track near the
finish line when the two-mile race was
being run. AS they came down the
nome stretch on the last lap, two Bow

RUSSIA NOW FOR PEACE

Paris, March 29.-It is the result OF
a settled conviction that peace is the
only logical outcome OF Russia's pre-
dicament. The foreign office denies
the report that Russia has asked Min
lister Delcasse to act as intermediary.
Another ,eport prominently display
ed in the Echo de Paris today says
the United States lis about to make a
coup de theatre by initiating peace"
This likewise is not credited in high
quarters.
On the contrary, the general view
is that Japanese official opinion is
doubtful of peace negotiations. This
indicates that the preliminaries have
not made appreciable progress, or
else that Japan does not intend to in
terrupt her successful campaign. 1t
is even intimated in a high quarter
that it makes no difference what ST.
Petersburg decides relative to asking
for peace, as it will remain for To
klO to accept or reject 1T. Therefore,
it is maintained the peace situation
has shifted from st. Petersburg to
Toxic, which is the new post key to
the peace situation.
1t is asserted that Japan has per-
mitted Russia to learn that the peace
conditions will be severely rigorous
and will not be responsible to the re-
cent sentiment as a plea to Japanese
magnanimity. In particular, it is said
that Japans indemnity figure is $780,
100000, and that this stupendous sum
has proved so staggering to Russian
diplomacy that it is the chief cause
why peace preliminaries do not ad-
vance to a decisive stage.

they be communicated to Japan, Rus

PRESENTMENT MADE AGAINST
PACKING HOUSE MANAGER.
TAMPERED With WITNESS
Alleged He Sought To Influence Men
In Their Testimony Before
Grand Jury.

Chicago, March 29.-The federal
grand jury tonight returned an indict-
ment against Thomas T. Connors,
general superintendent of Armour &
Co., on the charge of interfering with
a witness summoned to appear before
the jury now investigating the social
ed beef TRUST. Connors, who is J. Og-
den Armours most confidential EN-
ploye and the active head of one of
the largest packing companies of the
world, was arrested on warrant by
a deputy United States marshal and
brought to the grand jury room, where
he was released on $4,000 bonds. Al
ter his release Connors refused to
discuss the matter.
Charges In Indictment
The indictment charges that John
Edward Shields of Brooklyn "a former
employe of Armour & Co., who testi-
fed before the grand jury, was ep-
preached, favored and entertained by
that on March % the offense upon
which Connors was indicted occurred
1t is also charged that Shields was
given the use of Armour C Co.'s of
fees at 205 La Sale street to trans
act his business while in Chicago and
also the use of private telegraph
wire in the Office OF the packing com
pany. Another allegation is that
Shields was entertained by Connors
and that Connors suggested to the
proposed witness that he should testi-
ty favorably to Armour & Co. and not
tell all he knew concerning the mat
ter under investigation.
He Approached Others.
The second count of the indictment
charges that Connors did not limit
his attempt at influencing witnesses
to Shields, but that othJ' witnesses
who have not yet appeared in Chi
cago have been approached by him
and attempts made to influence them
as to the nature of the testimony
they would give before the grand
jury.
When the special grand jury con-
vened last week Shields was one of
the first witness to appear. He came
to Chicago from New York. He had
testified before a grand jury in New
York and there is said to have di-
vulged facts which led the federal OF
ficials to believe him in possession of
many other details concerning the
question under consideration. He was
requested to come ito Chicago and the
federal officials were instructed to
watch the man closely. Two men
were detailed to watch Shields. One
of these secret service men obtained
Shields confidence and thus learned
facts which doubled the precautions
of the government to prevent any OF
the witnesses from being coached
Shields was followed by these detec-
tives and it was learned that he was
entertained at the Office of Armour
& Co., having al private wire at his
disposal and answering all of his
private correspondence there. Every
move of Shields was closely watched
The matter reached climax when
one of the secret service men submit
ted a report to his superiors. Yester-
day Shields was in the grand jury
room from to O'clock
The section of the statutes under
which the indictment was drawn pro-
vides that any person who interferes
with a witness shall be subjected to
fine of $500 or Imprisonment for
three months or both.

Witch and Generals Godekoff and

peror.
First Step Taken.
A step in the direction of peace act
rally has been taken. Russia has II
directly made known to Japan the
negative conditions under which
peace may be concluded, namely, no
concession of territory and no indem-
nifty, leaving Japan to determine
WI ether negotiations can be begun
upon that basis. No reply from JAP
an has yet reached the Russian gov
ernment
Through what channel or channels
Russia has indirectly communicated
with Japan, the Associated Press is
not in position to state definitely,
although there lis reason to believ
that it is through the United States
1t is practically certain that France
and possibly Germany, as the two al
lies of the belligerents, and the Unit
ed States as the country acting for
Japan, have been apprised OF Rus
sias position.

Washington, March 29.-Erastus
Day, American consul at Branford,
Eng, reports to the Washington gov
ernment that for some time there has
been a steady increase in the British
consumption of American meats, es-
pecially hog products, with a CORE
spending increase in the imports OF
such meats from Canada. He ven
lures the opinion that American pack
ers are rapidly losing English trade
and the cause. he thinks, is to be
found in the fact that American meats
in too many instances are stale and
overkept, while those from Canada
are fresh and we'll favored
