GOV. GUILD
WANTS z 0 CLOCK
BILL AMENDED

Boston, May 3.-Gov Guild sent spe-
cial message to the Massachusetts senate
yesterday urging reconsideration Of the 12
O'Clock liquor bill. which was passed by
both branches Of the legislature and
which permits hotels in cities OF over
5000 inhabitants 10 sell liquor up to mid
night, providing the Inhabitants OF the
city accept the provisions OF the act.
The governor is willing TO sign the bill
which Will extend the liquor limit In the
city OF Boston. but he is opposed 20 the
granting OF this privilege 10 other cities.
In his communication Gov. Guild said:
II had hoped TO make ~ possible 10
amend the bill so as TO relieve 10 OF GER
tain objections. which In the present form
make II unsatisfactory TO me. / have
conferred with responsible representatives
OF Greater Boston business associations
and they agree that the objections TO
this bill. applying as IL does not TO Bos-
ton only, are such as 10 justify reconsid-
GRAFTON. That no parliamentary objection
might stand In the way of relief for the
city OF Boston, | therefore. by special
message, beg TO urge upon you the pas
sage OF such legislation.
THE city OF Boston should be treated as
a metropolis. For years IL has -heen
claimed that conditions OF life and OF
orderly life I'm Boston differ from those
that prevail i'm smaller municipalities OF
the commonwealth. and that the drastic
conditions with respect to hotel accommo-
dauons In Boston are driving business
away from our chief city 10 other mu-

bodies VIII not let any consideration pre-
vent the passage OF some measure en-
bodying legislation that really Is demand
ed, properly safeguarded, 80 that the
privilege desired shall be granted only TO
those not likely TO abuse &C."
II Is understood 20 be the desire OF the
governor that the bill and his message
be referred to the committee on LIQUOR
laws, and that a new act which would
relate 10 Boston alone be reported 10 the
general court. This was the last day
that Gov. Guild had TO sign the LIQUOR

MITCHELL WILL
FIND A WAY To
AVERT STRIKE

Scranton, Pa. May 3-The scale COM
mittec OF the United Mine Workers met
In this city yesterday afternoon shortly
after o'clock and adjourned a few min
utes after 6 o'clock. at which time John
Mitchell stated that there would be moth
ing 10 give out.
II was stated by the best authority,
however. that the committee decided TO
make no recommendation TO the conven-
tion, but Will simply present its report
and wait for the delegates by vote to do
the rest.
On the eve OF the meeting OF the con-
vention when the public mind has set
tied itself into belief that nothing can
now be done 10 avoid a strike, come strong
hints Of peace from sources that must be
considered authoritative, peace that will
come from the action OF the miners them
selves without a single concillatory move
on the part OF INC coal operators, who are
standing firm.
a man very high in the council OF in
fluence said that nc believes that while
there IS more than one way out for Mr..
Mitchell, the one way that he Is likely
TO ADOPT mas the recoTu OF nonofdplc pre-
ference. IL is the referendum.
IL Is likely. however. that such extreme
action as this on the part OF Mr.. Mitchell
may not be necessary and that the refer
endum may decide through action by the
delegates In accordance with Mr.. Mitch
ellis advice
An interesting feature OF the day was
the appearance here shortly after noon Of
Charles II. Nell, United States commits
sioner OF labor. Mr.. Nell reached the

ONLY A FOOTBALL
FOR SPECTATORS

washington. May 3-After denouncing
the government crop reports, and more
particularly the reports OF the depart
ment OF agriculture. and passing a resoS
luton advocating that the statistical cot
ton year should run from Aug. 20 Aug
instead OF from Sept / 10 Sept. l. the
international cotton conference adjourned
yesterday.
IL was found that the delegates were not
clothed with sufficient authority 10 effect
a permanent organization
When the subject OF governmental crop
reports came up President MacColl spoke
In commendation OF the census bureaus
work. but felt that some radical changes
I'm the methods OF the agricultural depart
ment should be made.
President Harvie Jordan OF the Southern
Cotton association also commended some
or the features OF the government reports
hut numerous other delegates strongly
condemned them. d. A. Tompkins OF
North Carolina characterized them as a
complicated system OF guessing" while
another southern grower denounced them
as speculative football"
Various remedies were suggested, but as
no two delegates seemed able 10 agree on
a satisfactory plan the whole subject was
laid on the table.
President MacColl expressed the hope
that henceforward there will be a close
bond OF union between the North and tho
South and between America and Europe
In all that pertains TO cotton growing and
manufacturing.
At the afternoon session the report on
balinR. ginning and handling OF American
cotton was received and adopted unani-
mously. The report recommended the
following:
THAT all be made OF standard dmen-
sionsa that lightweight new burlap he
used for bagging: or. IL conditions justify.
that cotton canvas be used that all cot
ton should be bought and sold net weight :
that committee be appointed whose duty
IL shall be to have cotton baled as above.

rally in Raleigh the delegation from
Halifax county pledged 800 for The
support Of the temperance cause in the
State for the ensuing twelve months

raised.
1t Is an important matter and the
temperance people of Halifax county
cannot afford to let their pledge to the
great cause of temperance 60 unpaid.
Let the amount be raised in the county
by the first of February, 80 that the
obligation will be entirely met with
the Anti-Saloon League of the State.
Let local organizations in the county
churches and individuals take up the
matter anu see that the pledge is met
at once.

British steamship Gresham, thirty-one
days out from Sunderland, England,
limped Into Hampton Roads to-day
with a number of minor injuries re-
ceived during one Of the most tenn
pe.tuous voyages ever experienced by
Captain r. S. Thompson during thirty
years of service.
The Gresham encountered a hurr:-
cane on Christmas day mid way across
the ocean, and for two days and nigh is
it was serious question as to whether
or not the ship would ride out OF the
storm. She came out OF the expe :
fence safely, however, suffering only
injuries from the ceas which swept
over her decks.
It is said that when Captain Tt en-. .
