city hospital in an unconscious condi-
ton. One leg is fractured, his skull
is probably fractured and the surgeons
think he is injured internally.
The motorman saw Rogers standing
near the tracks but thought he was
waiting for the car to pass so he did not
slack his speed. When the car was
about three lengths Of itself distant,
Rogers stepped upon the tracks and be-
fore the motorman could slack the
speed, the car struck the man, knock
ing him down. Il =.
Rogers was put on the car and taken
to Voegeli's drug store, where the patrol
wagon from the central police station
took him to the city hospital.

FRANCE WILLING.
Under Certain Conditions to Take Part in Pro.
 posed Ceference.

Berlin, June 19.-Premier Rouvier has informed Prince Radolin, the Ger man ambassador at Paris, the France IS inclined to accept the invitation to take part in the proposed conference on Morocco provided the German and French governments can reach a mu- tually satisfactory agreement as to the precise points to be considered by the conference. The conviction exists at the foreign office that France and Ger many will be able to agree upon this program. Although earnest differences Of view are yet to be reconciled the authoritative judgment of the foreign office is that they will all be overcome by negotiations. NJ. Rouvier has thus yielded to Prince Won Bue!ow on two essential points on which NJ. Delcasse, the former foreign minister, had re- fused the invitation to take part in a Morocco conference. M Rouvier con sented to reopen the question and sec Ond agreed to take part in the confer ence provided the protocol is in con- formity with French interests. This will be accepted by Germany which will limit the deliberations of the con- ference. Great Britain. supporting France, had also refused to join the proposed conference but Foreign Secrc- tary Lansdowne, has, it is Understood. said that if France accepted Crest Britain would also accept.
 A great diplomatic battle is in pro- gress with the probabilities toward German success.

WILL TRY AGAIN.
Voters of New Shoreham May Need
 Military Protection.

Block Island, R. l., June 19.-The in- tense rivalry between the voters of New Shoreham, led by State Senator Christopher E. Champlin, and those known as the supporters of Samuel M. Rose, which has marked town meetings here for several years. was even more noticeable to-day when the electors were called upon to consider the ques- ton of bond issue amounting to SIP, 800. The leaders of the factions have been working for several days to get every one of their supporters to the meeting. Each side expressed its determination to win and in the excite ment of the general canvass sugges- tions had been made that detail of militia be called out to maintain order. Most of the leading townspeople were of the opinion, however. that the mili- tia would not be necessary, but that the civil officers, assisted by citizens, would prevent breach of the law.
 The Champlin forces favor the pro- posed bond issue, which they claim will enable the town to discharge the existing debt. The Rose faction. how ever. has been able on three occasions to prevent the voters from sanctioning the issue. At each of these three meetings the proceedings were ter minated by disorder. due to the hostili- ty between the factions. To-day's town meeting was called for 2 o'clock D. ID.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Everything Points to Big Celebration
 In This City.

The committee in charge of the cele- bration to be held here on July f will hold another meeting tomorrow night at $ o'clock in the rooms of the Wa terbury Business Mems association. The different committees are working energetically and everything looks fa- voraDle for a big demonstration. Chair man Hampson of the fireworks com mittee said to-day that 1t had been sug- gested to abandon the idea of spend ing all the money raised for fireworks in one place and instead divide the fund into five parts and let each sec ton of the town have part of the excitement While nothing definite has been done in this line it may be de- cided to have five or six places where this feature of the program will be held instead of one.
 The principal objection to the blow out of powder is the damage resulting from drawing such a large crowd of people to one place. It ruins crops and considerable damages occurs to other kinds of property. much more 1t is said by holding the display on the outskirts than by conducting it in the more thickly settled portions of the city. If the fund should he divided it is likely that display will be held on Bank street. opposite Jackson street. One by one the societies are voting to take part in the parade.

BREAK IN THE RANKS
 OF CHICAGO STRIKERS.

Chicago, June 19.- A pronounced break in the ranks of the strikers oc- cured to-day. For the first time since the strike began many weeks ago, there were many numerous instances where striking teamsters applied in dividually for former positions with out waiting for the strike to be for mally declared off. This was especial ly true at the lumber yards.
 George K. W/nig of the Wenig Teaming company said today: Many of my old teamsters have asked for their positions. Not one of them said about deliveries to the boy cotted firms. It have done nothing yet in the matter and shall not do any thing until I consult with other en- ployers."

A COOL WAVE.
Brought Great Relief to Many People Who Were
 Sweltering.

New York, June 19.-Showers and 8 change in, the wind early to-day great ly reduced the temperature and exces- sive humidity from which Greater New York sweltered throughout the Sab bath.
 Nowhere in the city was the suffer ing so intense as in the east side tene- ment section, where little preparation had been made for it. Ordinarily such days do not come until early in July. From hundreds of stuffy tenements thousands of children swarmed into the street. many of them half clad and others struggling to rid themselves of such fragments of winter garments as still chung to their little bodies. M0th- CTS with haggard faces peered out of lofty windows and shrieked in vain for their little ones to come in. The police were constantly called upon to quell infantile riots and scores of chill dren were reported lost at nightfall.
 Nearly every household among the tenement dwellers has been called upon to provide for one or more of the 1m- migrants who swarmed into the city last spring, and most of those have nothing but heavy winter clothing. In places the curbs and door steps were lined with heavy bearded men, ex- hausted and apparently suffering in tense physical pain.
 Earlier than ever before it became necessary to throw open the parks to those who came there for the night. All day the small parks on the east side were thronged, but they furnished little respite from the heat until night came, when orders were issued in all downtown precincts to leave the parks open during the night until the weather changed. Midnight found the benches and grass plots of Central park and breathing spots further north still crowded with mothers and nurses with their babies. Extra details of police were sent out to all of these places.
 According to the general passenger agents of the big railroad systems en- tering New York city. never in their experience have so many families sought country homes for the summer as this year. More than 30,OOO fam flies is q conservative estimate for the five boroughs of those who have closed their houses and apartments and be- come commuters for the season. The railroad men say nearly all inquiries directed their way are for small houses in the country nearby with little patch of ground under cultivation.

Wants to Know Germany's Object.
 PARIS, June 19.-The improvement in the Franco-German situation took a more definite turn as the semioficial version of the conference between Pre- mier Rouvier and Prince von Radolin, the German ambassador, became known. This version shows that the ambassador asked France to accept in principle the plan of an internati tional conference, leaving the details to be adjusted later. Premier Rouvier an swered that he desired at first to be advised upon Germany's object in se- curing the conference and the questions it would be called upon to consider.
