THINKS MAYOR
 MADE MISTAKE Col. Ullman Says He Be- lieves Vetoing of Derby Ave. Site Action a
 Step Backward.
MAYOR STUDLEY
 EXPLAINS VETO
Says When the People Are Ready for the Hospital
 They Will Find. a
 Location for It.

The action of Mayor Studley yester- day in vetoing the measure, passed on Monday night by the board of alder men, locating the contagious disease hospital on the Derby avenue site, has caused much comment pro and con, mostly con, among the people of the city. A number of prominent men who were interviewed by reporter of this paper last night united in saying that the action of the mayor was a decided step backward, and by some is inter- preted as a direct affront to Colonel I. M Ullman, who went so far as to get an option on the site, and as another sign that the relations between the re- publican leader and the mayor are not so cordial as formerly.
 The mayor was influenced partly in his action by a petition, signed by over 400 people residing at the western end of the city, protesting against the Der by avenue site. The petition was hand- ed in to the mayor yesterday noon by F. l.. Mead, who is leading the Second warders in their opposition. In dis NuGpAll6 lllG tfSlO il0I llAElll 0AcJOA ObAQ- ley said: T have no more right to put it in one ward than another. If the matter is let alone 1t will work itself out. When the people want the hospi- tai they will find a location for it."
 Colonel I. M. Ullman said: T am sorry that the mayor vetoed the meas ure. While the Derby avenue site is not the only one, 1t is as good as could be got under the circumstances. am convinced that the majority of tht people want contagious disease hos pital, and the good of the majority should not be sacrificed to the senti- ments of the few. am especially sor- " because there seems to be no way to pass 1t over the mayors veto.

MORE INDICTMENTS.
Central Vermont Charged With Viola
 ticn of EIkins Law.

ten of EII1ins Law.
 New York, June Establishments for alleged violations of the Elkins and rebate law were returned to-day by the United States grand jury against the Central Vermont Railway compa- ny. The favored shipper is the same one that has figured in other recent cases here, the Woolson Spice compa- ny, of Detroit, in coffee shipments be- tween this city and Detroit. The alle- gation is that the Central Vermont granted to Woolson people rebate of one cent per 100 pounds from the tariff rate of 20 cents on their shipments. The shipments were made in carload lots in the summer of 1904, and there are seven counts, each on the shipment of a car of about 25,0O0 pounds
 The Central Vermont operates a line of boats to New London, Conn.,, and thence by rail to a connection with the Grand Trunk railway, this forming one of the routes of the Merchants Dis patch fast freight line.
 Immediately after the finding of the indictments the United States attorney notified the corporations attorney and they will appear for formal pleading within a few days.

 Efforts to Deceive Mrs. Orchard. Boise, Idaho, June 1S-The prosecu- tion in the Steunenberg murder trial offered one of its most complete pieces of evidence against William D. Hay wood to-day, when, recalling Harry Orchard for redirect examination, it introduced four letters tending to show that Haywood, during the fall of 1905, when Orchard swears he was engaged in various crimes for the federation leaders, had participated in a plan to deceive Mrs. Orchard of Cripple Greek as to the whereabouts of her husband. Over a variety of protests from the defense, Orchard was allowed to tes- tify that early in the summer of 1905 Haywood told him that Mrs. Orchard was writing for information as to Or chard's whereabouts.

noon forced open the door of an apart
ment occupied by C. Chapel Judson, a

Mrs Judson left the apartment at

found the door open. and investigation
revealed the fact that a burglar had
ransacked the place, securing dia-
mond brooch, five rings set with pre-
cious stones. a lady's gold watch, a
pearl stickpin and quantity of silver
ware.
On discovering her loss Mrs. Judson
at once gave an alarm and notified the

his escape. The door of the apartment
plainly showed the marks of the tool
with which 1t had been forced, being
splintered near the lock. The forcing
of the door must have caused consid-
cradle noise, but was unheard, although
there were people in all parts of the
