SCHEDULE UNSATISFACTORY.
Night and Day Shifts on Trolley Road
at Odds Regarding Time.

One of the main matters that had &C.
oupied the attention Of the trolleymen' S
union at the meeting held early yester-
day morning was the subject of the
time schedule of the day men and the
night men. Neither shift, it Is stated,
Is satisfied with the hours as at pres
ent arranged, and the desires of the
day men conflict with those of the night
men.
At present the day men put in five
hours and are then relieved by the night
men for from one and half to two
and a half hours, as noon relief. They
then return and finish out their day,
the night men going to work late in the
afternoon. The day men would like to
have their entire time in a stretch with
out the noon relief, and SO get through
early in the afternoon. Inc night men
would like 1t fixed so that they will not
need to go to work until about o'clock
In the evening.
The road will probably be willing to
agree with whatever arrangement the
men find satisfactory, as it means no
difference to it as long as the cars are
run. But the men themselves are di-
vided on the question. The day men
are the old hands on the road, having
all been on at least four years.

GUILTY AS A PARTICIPANT.
Decision of Bay State Supreme COurt
ON Auto Speeding.

Boston, May Is. - Whoever partici-
pates in the overspeeding of an auto
mobile is criminally liable, according to
a decision announced to-day by ma
jority of the supreme court of Massa-
chusetts, in a test case of the COM
monwealth against Roland NJ. Sherman,
son of Judge Edgar j. Sherman, of the
superior bench of Massachusetts, Mr..
Sherman was found guilty in Worces-
ter court of driving his automobile
above the speed limit, in Leicester,
and he appealed on the ground that
while the machine may have been go
ing at an illegal velocity, he was not
operating it. The high court finds that
he was guilty as participant, ruling
that If the owner or anyone having
control Of machine knew or allowed
the machine to be running Illegally, he
is equally liable with the chauffeur.

PRESIDENT.

Reads Statement to the Senate-Ready
to Leave Whole Question of Rate Bill
Incident to the Thoughtful and Hon
OrabIe Men of the COuntry-Senator
Allison Has Presidents Letter to Him
Read and Made Part Of the Record
washington, May 15.-While the de-
bate on the personnel of the interstate
eonnerce commission was in progress
in the senate to-day Senator Tillman
took the floor to make statement, in
behalf of ex-senator Chandler, which
has been momentarily expected since
Senator Lodges conveyance last Satur-
day to the senate of the presidents en-
phatic denial of the statements attrib-
uted to Mr.. Chandler by the South Car
Dina senator. Mr.. Tillman read the
portion Of Mr.. Chandler's memorandum
of his conferences with the president,
which has heretofore been given to the
public, prefacing it with a brief state
lnent of his own, saying that on Satur-
day the senate had been startled and
mortified to hear the utterances OF an
ex-member denounced, on behalf Of the
president, as "a deliberate and unqual-
iied falsehood. AS he had been re-
sponsible for introducing the subject
which had caused the attack on Mr..
Chandler he felt under obligations to
place him right on the record. To that
end he read the ex-senators statement.
The reading of that statement was
followed by the following from Mr.. Till
man:
There are only two points in the
president'se letter which deem worthy
of notice. His attempted explanation
is ingenious, but not ingenious. He
calls In question the integrity of pur-
nose and utterance Of Mr.. Chandler by
declaring:
"He was asked to see ex-senator
Chandler as representing Mr.. Tillman,
who wa sin charge Of the bill He
stated to me the views of Mr.. Tilln1an
with seeming authority
''Mr. Chandler has declared most pos
ftively in a written statement that the
president sent for him for the purpose
of getting into communication with
Senator Bailey and myself, and he has
produced the letter of Mr.. Loeb.
ST now declare most emphatically
that to no human being have / ever
given word or expressed a wish to
have any conference with Theodore
Roosevelt In regard to the bill now un-
der consideration. On the contrary,
have expressed the opinion in more
than one published interview that he
had nothing to do with. and that 1t was
the business of the senate; and while
did, at his request, enter into negotia-
tions with the Encouragement, it is
well known to every senator on this
floor what my attitude and feelings
have been, and it is most remarkable
while the president sent for democrat

Speech in House.

Vienna, May 15.-Premier Prince Ho-
henlohe made his first speech in the
lower house of the diet to-day since his
appointment to the premiership and

viewpoint. The government intended
to deal firstly with electoral reform on
the basis of universal suffrage. This,
Prince Hohenlohe declared, would not
only give all citizens equal rights, but
ought to reform parIiamentarianism
and furnish stable basis for national
and internal tranquility.
