THIS TINE OF YEAR.

Commend me at this time OF year
To where the shooting's good
And the ripened world is In the sere
That glorifies the wood.
Some camping place, where waters
bright
Go by in drowsy peace,
And in the Businesses OF night
Are heard the cries Of gesse.
Some silent place than can invoke
The Muse herself to sing.
And fragrant fire by which to
smoke
When it is evening.
This is the time Of year for sighs
In such work as we're at.
And dreams OF earthly Paradise
In some such spot as that.

MAY DELAY OCEAN TRAFFIC
Five Thousand Additional Long,
shoremen on Strike.

New York, May 1.-THE strike of
longshoremen which has been In prog
ress for more than week, affecting
not only the cOastwise steamers but
several transatlantic liners, took an
extremely serious turn during the day
when 5000 more large transatlantic
freight handlers Joined the movement.
The men who joined the ranks of the
strikers during the day number be-
tween 1900 and 5000 and their action
may result in serious delay in the
movement of some of the biggest
transatlantic passenger and mail
steamships The men were those OF
the North German Lloyd, the Scan
dinavian- American, the Hamburg
American, the Holland-American and
the Phoenix lines.
Up to this latest development more
than 5000 men were on strike from
the American and Red Star lines and
from the various docks In Brooklyn.
Tramp steamers from various parts OF
the world are chiefly affected In Brook
lyn. There have been no serious dis
orders. The movement Is uniformly
In support of a demand for an increase
in wages to 40 cents an hour regularly,
60 cents for overtime and so cents for
holiday work. This is practically an
advance of 1913 per cent over the
wages now paid by the steamship
companies.

DEFEATED BY CLOSE VOTE
Resolution Branding Roosevelt as an
undesirable Citizen"

Seattle, Wash. May 7.-President
Roosevelts designation Of Meyer and
Haywood as undesirable citizens
was accepted by Washington social
lists as their own characterization by
the state convention Of the Socialistic
party here. The convention almost
unanimously passed resolution de-
claring that If Meyer and the other ac-
cused officials are undesirable citi-
zens" they wish to be known In the
same way.
The same resolution demanded that
President Roosevelt show proof for
his statement that the officials melted
to riot and bloodshed. A resolution
declaring that the president himself
Is the most undesirable citizen In
the United States today" was barely
defeated and then only because the
convention went on record as refusing
to "bandy epithets used by capital
lists"

Senator Borah represented the state
and Messrs Richardson and Darrow
the prisoner.

Simkins, charged with the murder OF
Governor Steunenberg.
lars recites the absence of the defend
ants from Idaho at the time the crime
was committed and that the indict-
ment contains no information that
would show the overt acts by which
the state hopes to prove the guilt OF
the accused.

state, said that the defense was not
seeking particularization of the indict-
ment but possession Of the evidence
by which the state hoped to prove its
case. He then explained that the
charge that Haywood was at Caldwell
when the murder was committed was
not necessary under the Idaho stat
utes Senator Borah said that the In
dictment as to murder was surely spe'
cihc enough to show the prisoner the
