The territorial board Of emigration
will meet In a few days 20 organize.
and elect a new secretary. II Is hoped
by everybody who Is at all inclined to
see a square deal. that the board will
select a secretary who Is o In any
way connected with a newspaper or
printing plant. The board has a
large amount of printing done each
year. and 1t should be distributed
among the publishers OF the territory
and not all done in n office. II n
man can be found who has been prom
inently identified with some organiza-
ton that has been active In the de-
veiopment Of the t%erritory's natural
and the advancement of her
commercial interests. he should be
chosen. This bureau has done very
effective work In the past and IL abii'
ity, rather than political preferment,
IA considered when the new secretary
Is elected, It will continue to be a
great power for bringing neaw people
and new capital into the territory.

MILK SPO|LS
BECAUSE NOT
WELL ICED

Failure to keep the milk daily sent
TO this city from Seekonk and scituate
properly iced is resulting in the milk
being spoiled by the time II reaches
here. and several complaints are being
made TO Inspector Scott.
The milk is supposed to be kept at
n temperature of so degrees or lower,
but the temperature of some OF the
milk being imported here is as high
as 30 degrees. Mr.. Scott has taken
steps to stop the further sale OF this
bad milk. and any OF the local milk
men caught delivering II to their Gus
toners will lose their licenses.
Inspector Scott Is also having con-
siderable trouble with some of the
farmers in this state. Most OF them
are trying to do right. but they are
ignorant as to the way of keeping
their milk in good condition in this
hot weather. The inspector is assist
ing them in every way possible, and

Luis waddington. who was charge daft
faires OF Chile at Brussels. on the charge
OF numbering senor Balmaceda. secretary
OF the Chilean legation. on Feb. "a last.
convende today.
Balmaceda was engaged to be married
TO Miss Waddington. the daughter OF
Senior Waddington and a leading member
OF Brussels society. The murder occurred
on the evening OF the official engagement
dinner few days before the tragedy
Balmaceda requested the Waddingtons TO
postpone the wedding ceremony and on
the morning of Feb "a. he called upon
Mrs waddington and announced his de-
sire to withdraw from the marriage alto
eether. He admitted. II is charged. that
he had behaved improperly towards Miss
waddington. but accused the young wo-
man OF having misbehaved before he met
her Later when young Carlos Wadding-
ton found his mother prostrated as re-
suit OF the interview with Balmaceda he
drove to the home Of the latter, who was
his personal friend and after quarrel
shot and killed him.
The Balmaceda family contend that the
waddingtons had tried TO force the mar
riage upon the young secretary of the le-
CATION and that upon his refusal, they re-
solved TO get rid of him.
The Waddingtons assert that Balma-
ceda had refused to redress the wrong he
had done Miss Waddington.

Gus on entering the court. quickly recov-
cred his presence OF mind. The trial is

REFUSED;
COURT HAS No
JURISDICTION

The supreme court today handed down
an opinion in the case of Thomas l.. An
gell trustee, VS.. Harry r. Angel. ct
al. Relief is refused the trustee because
OF informality OF the proceedings. The
opinion is as follows:
This is in form a petition I'm equity.
addressed to this court, seeking the deter
fr!nation Of certain questions under "A GER
tain trust deed and will. as TO the disposi-
ton OF income and property under said
deed and will. II IL Is to be treated as a
petition In equity. according to Its form,
then 1t Is not properly addressed to this
court, but should have been addressed to
the superior court. which alone has origi-
nal jurisdiction in equity In such mat
ters.
las IL was presented 10 the court in
argument, however, the parties seemed to
treat It. and to desire II to be regarded,
as concurrent statement i'm the form
of a special case for the opinion OF this
court, under Sec. 323 OF the court and
practice act. We do not think that the
form of this petition Is proper concur
rent statement as contemplated under said
Sec. 323 furthermore two OF the respond
ents are minors and non-residents. and
stated to be under guardianship, appar-
emily in Massachusetts,. At all events IL
does not appear that they have any legal
guardian in Rhode Island. Two others
OF the parties are non-residents, none of
son, nor Is there any evidence on file to
show that any one of the parties has
given any authority to any person to sign
the petition in his or her behalf.
I'VE do not think that said Sec. 323
contemplates the submission Of such
questions to this court In any such man
ner. The statements of fact upon which
this court should properly act under said
Sec. 323 should be made by the parties
over their own signatures; or II signed
by an attorney on behalf OF any party
there should be such evidence of au-
thority so to represent the party TO the
statement, as to prevent any question
arising in future as. 20 the authorized
representation OF the parties before the
court
I'VE are OF opinion. therefore. that this
matter has not been properly brought be-
fore this court, and the proceeding is dis
missed without prejudice 10 the rights OF
the parties 20 apply either TO the superior
court, by petition In equity. or to this
court upon a proper concurrent statement
duly signed by the parties, or by their
duly authorized representatives. or that
the signatures OF the parties or OF their
representatives shall be properly authen-
ticated."

DARR0W OPENS
FOR DEFENSE IN
HAYWOOD TRIAL

Boise. Idaho. June A.--The Haywood
trial was resumed at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. when Clarence Darrow began the
opening address In behalf OF the defence.
Mr.. Darrow began In the slow mellow
drawl characteristic OF him. to state the
theory and plan of the defense to be Of
fered for his client.
"You have listened to the theory and
evidence OF the state, Mr.. Darrow said
Mr.. Hawley has covered a wide ground
in his opening for the state and we win
have to meet him step by step The de-
fendant here is charged nominally with
the mlrder of former Gov. teunenberg
There had TO be some nominal charge. But
the state has told you the case rests up
on a giant conspiracy of which the de-
fendant among others Is part.
THE states attorney has told you the
murder of Gov. Steunenberg was but an
incident. They have told you the Western
Federation OF Miners was an organization
10 commit murder. TO control politics TO
hire lawyers and other criminal things
Part OF this Is true part Of IL is rot
true 1t is true there is a labor organiza-
ton known as the Western Federation OF
Miners and that IL has spent money for
lawyers. IL was unfortunate. but most
people have 10 employ lawyers at some
time or another.
This organization was really born in
1923, right down In a cell beneath this
court room. where ID" Boyce. the first
president. was prisoner. and where now
three men charged with this murder are
awaiting the judgment of this jury. To
start out with they hired lawyers and
they hired the best they could. They
hired Mr.. Hawley, now the leading coun-
sci for the state. Mr.. Hawley laid out
the plan of their organization for them
and the men who formed the organization
thought II was an innocent undertaking.
Mr. Hawley continued as their attorney
for long time. IL there was anything
criminal in their apIropriating money
for lawyers, the miners did not know It,.
THE Western Federation Of Miners Is
an industrial, not murderous or
ganization.

conditions in the Panama canal zone are
better than ever before since the Ameri-
