TAG DAY
TOMORROW

tomorrow Is rag Day IN
Grand Junction and judging
from Indications Tag Day" will
be IA memorable occasion in the
history of the city. Tags" will
be the most popular things in
Grand Junction tomorrow. Ev-
erybody will doubtless be wear
ing them and houses and stores
will be tagged in great style.
The ladies of st. Matthews church
have all arrangements completed for
the day. The many fair workers
have been organized and assigned
stations and from bright and early
tomorrow morning until late in the
evening the young girls and the older
girls will be out ready to tag every
body and every house.
The fact that the funds to be rails
ed in this manner are to go toward
the building and operating of new
hospital to be known as st. Matthews
has proven inspiring. All enterpris-
ing people would like to see such an
institution opened. The city needs
another hospital and the people as a
whole are ready to help secure one.
Many of the business houses of the
city are decorating their stores and
windows today in honor and in COM
memoration of Tag Day" Some of
the decorations, very suggestive of
the day. are exceedingly attractive.
1t is a worthy undertaking and the
ladies will doubtless have but little
trouble in tagging hundreds of men
and women. Tomorrow Tag will
be "A badge of honor so everybody
wants to get hold of one.
The central station for Tag Day
will be at the Mesa County National
Bank
The ladies are very enthusiastic
over the outlook for a successful day.
Tag Day has caused much com
ment and aroused much interest
among all classes of people in the
city.

Skowhegar, Me, April 1.-(SpeciaD.
DIR. ]. 3. Twaddelle was returned to
the Insane hospital at Augusta on
the noon train Wednesday. He was
accompanied by ]. A. Goodrich of this
town, deputy sheriff. DR.. Twaddelle
was released last Monday and that
afternoon was brought into court. He
was given his freedom by Judge Spear
upon his promise that he would alb
stain from Incorporate habits and was
told that under those conditions the
charges against him would not be
pressed. He was allowed to go on his
personal recognizance in the sum Of

Twaddelle was under indictment on
two counts for alleged attempts upon
the life of his brotherin-law, Fred
Knights of Norridgewock. He was
given a hearing in the local municipal
court and at the December term was
sent to the Insane hospital at Augusta
for observation as to his mental con-

The Trouble IN Hayti Is
By No Means Over.
The French Minister Is Per-.
haps Unnecessarily Alarmed.
Every Preeautlon Being Taken For
the Refugees Safety.

Port Au Prince, April 1.-The spirit
of uncertainty and Of unrest still pre-
walls in Port Au Prince. The recent
abortiye attempt at a second uprising
here. in which Gen. Larraque, chief Of
the cavalry, and several other army Of
ficers are alleged to have been impli-
Gated. has given the government q
cause for making searches in all quar-
tors Of the city in the hope of finding
others they suspect Of being involved
in the plot.
The French minister to Hayti, M.
Cartcron. has recently shown consider
able alarm concerning the action the
Haytian government may take against
the refugees now asylumed In the
French legation. Some of the refugees
themselves state that the minister has
advised them to procure pistols and as
much ammunition as possible so that
they may be prepared to defend Them
selves. According to the refugees M.
Carteron declared to them that he was
unable to guarantee protection In the
event of an attack upon the legation by
government troops.
The French minister. when asked to-
day with regard to this statement. de-
clined to deny or affirm it. but he did
say that he had made q representation
Of the case to NJ. Borno, the minister
OF state, pointing out to him the
French contention that the giving Of
sanctuary to the refugees was an abb
soluteiy legitimate proceeding.
1t is generally believed here that the
alarm of the French minister Is I'M
founded. Up to the present the govern
ment's attitude has been a concilia-
tory one and it seems to be its inten-
ton not to offer the slightest excuse
for foreign intervention.
There are rumors here that summary
executions continue in nearby country
districts. For long time past the gov
eminent has had a large number Of
so-called political prisoners in hand
and it is reported that almost nightly
some of these are taken from the pris-
ons, transported to the country dis
tricts, not very remote from the city
and shot. This the government vehe-
mently denies.
The French cruiser D'Estrees has
not returned from the island of St.
Thomas, to which she took the refu-
gees from Gonaives. The German cruis-
err Bremen returned yesterday from
Kingston. and the United States cruis-
are still here. The gunboat Eagle left

ducah sailed today for Guantanamo.

doctor was at liberty they made OBJ
proper person to be at large. There
fore the matter was explained to the
court. DIR. Sanborn was sent for and
arrived on the 1885 train Wednesday.
a hearing was held after noon that
day and the court ordered that he be
returned to the hospital.
The law is that when person is
placed in hospital for observation
he must be given q hearing at the
next session of the supreme court to
be held in the county from which he
was committed. AS the doctor was
committed at the December term, the
present term being the next one. he
was naturally entitled to hearing
DR. Sanborn is reported to have stated
that Twaddelle had improved since
being under his care, but that he was
not yet lit to be given his freedom.
AS stated at the time of the pre-
liminary hearing in this paper the EVIL
dence was to the effect that the cOndi
ton of DIR. Twaddelle was due to the
excessive use of liquor and drugs. It
is possible that should he abstain from
further use of intoXicants and NOR
phine and with proper care he may in
tine he himself again. But it is now
said the general opinion of those who
have observed him since his trial in
the municipal court is that his present
condition is such that the proper place
for hin. at present is the hospital.

$274,331 Added to the

Generously to Appeal.
ali Conditions Are Fulfilled For the
Provisional Gifts.

Brunswick, Me, April 1.-(SpeciaD.-
The following statement in regard to
the new endowment fund at Bowdoin
College was given out this noon by
President William Dewitt Hyde:
"On March Goth, 1907 the General
Education Board offered to give Bow
doin College $4,000 on condition that
the College should raise 100000 on or
before March 31st, 1908. Three alumni.
who desire to remain unknown, at
once came forward with gifts of $4,000,
thus making, with the gift of the Gen
eral Education Board, half Of the total
$250,0CO to be secured.
"Then, when every dollar raised
would secure dollar already offered,
the alumni were asked to vote by mail
whether to undertake to raise the re-
mainder. The vote was almost unani-
nous in favor of the effort. Some
progress was made during the sum-
mer and fall; but after the panic the
prospects looked dark; and many adj
vised abandoning the undertaking.
I'm December came the promise OF
the last $4,000 from Mr.. Carnegie.
That and gifts secured previously re-
duced the amount to be raised by gen.
eral subscription to $4,000 An APP
peal was made to the alumni; to sew
eral outside friends, and especially to

Bath, Me-, April 1.-The barge Ashland

Boston and George c. Wing of Auburn,
Me-, the receivers of the Metropolitan
and the Eastern Steamship Cos, re-
ported in the United States district
court here today that business of the
lines ought to be carried on. The re-
port pointed out that if the operation
of the lines is continued a much great
er amount will be realized than by
closing up the business of the COM
panies and allowing the patronage and
business to be diverted to other cor
porations The receivers also reported
that the equity exceeded the mortgage
and other debts and that the property
of the companies is of a substantial
value and warrants the continuance
of both lines.

MORE LIGHT NEEDED.
Dexter Having Her Troubles Over the
Lighting Situation.

Dexter, Me-, April 1.-(SpeciaD.-
No street lights, plenty of deep sticky
mud and not over good sidewalks to-
gether with inky dark nights is the
situation in this town for the past two
nights The situation is brought upon
the town by the refusal of the select
men and members of the street light
commission to sign a contract with
lights with Richard P. jerks of Provi
dence, receiver for the Dexter Electric
Co. The situation is decidedly strained
and what the final end will be is mat
ter of much conjecture.
Freeman D. Dearth, Esq, is acting
as attorney for Mr. jerks, the receiver,
and he has in his possession a con-
tract between the receiver and the in
habitants of Dexter. This contract is
what the selectmen and light commits
sioners fail to sign. The contract
names the rates paid for several years
and merely runs from month to month
to be terminated at the discretion of
either party The selectmen and COM
missioners find no fault with the con-
tract and fail to give their reasons for
not affixing their names.
The strained relation existing be-
tween the officials and the receiver has
resulted in two members of the street
light commission resigning. They are
Amos A. Springall and Joseph Noun
tain and yesterday the selectmen filled
their places by the appointment of
Fred O. Herrick and Harry l.. Tilson.
After q protracted meeting yesterday
afternoon the selectmen and commits
sioners refused to sign the contract
and Attorney Dearth ordered the lights
shut off. No action was taken today
and this evening like last evening the
town was in darkness.
This evening several improptu in
dignation meetings We're held by the
citizens and it is evident that some
thing must be done to bring the light
ing war to an immediate end. 1t was
suggested that special town meeting
be called to see what can be done. 1t
is understood that the selectmen ana
light commissioners positively refuse
to affix their names to the contract and
mean to stick to their position in the
matter.

For Armored Cruiser Mon
tana on First Trial.
MI Take Advantage Of Uncle
Sans Kind Generosity
And Fix up So That Next Trial Will
Show Up Better.

pockland, Me-, April 1-Facing adj
wind and heavy seas, the armored
cruiser Montana Won a slender victory
IN the Rocland trial course today.
Her fastest mile, which was made
with the tide in her favor, was at the
rate Of 22.S6 knots an hour, but the
average of her five runs at top speed
was 22.O35.
This gives such q small margin over
contract requirements that TIN. build
ers, the Newport News ShipEuildinS
and Dr,Gucll Co, are in doubt tonight
as to whether they will proceed i'll tie
morning on the endurance trial, or wait
until the high pressure valves are al
tered so as 10 give 10 pounds addition
al power
This proved to be necessary in the
case OF the sister ship North Carolina,
built by the same company and Score
tary Metcalf's permission has been
asked to make a similar change on the
Montana. The belief was expressed
by a member of the trial board that
the ship would not leave here tomor-
row.
The Montana made IA runs today.
starting at q 1G-knot clip and increas-
ing gradually to % knots. The three
final runs were at 29h knots. 1t was
demonstrated that a trit,e under III
revolutions Of the screws per minute
would produce the contract speed. The
amount of horsepower developed on
the fastest run was 26,S63, and the av-
erage OF the five top speed rams was
26500.
The altered pitch of the Montana's
screws had a slightly beneficial effect,
it was stated by the board. The an
chor, steering and reversing tests We're
very satisfactory. The trial was under
the supervision of the Board of In
spectiou and Survey, Admiral Rich
ardson Glover, chairman, and the en-
gineering board, Captain l. S. x.
Reeves, chairman.
The Montana is the last of the A.
5Oo-ton class of cruisers to reach the
trial stage The Tennessee's fastest
mile was at the rate of 22.15 knots and
the Washington's fastest was 22.52
knots, but the North Carolina, built
by the same company as the Montana.
lalieu 10 Iiidke IL SiilSle i''ii NiiASii
brought her up to the 22-knOt limit at
the first trials. 1t was found that the
North Cardinals screws were not at
the proper pitch but that they could
be altered without the necessity OF n
new standardization trial and the navy
department allowed the builderG to
change the high pressure valves from
$50 to $50 pounds. Subsequently the
valves were replaced at normal pres
sure and the screws reset to a less
pitch and she made her required speed
in a satisfactory manner.
The Montana has been altered ac-
cordingly ard the screws now have a
pitch of Il feet 8 inches instead of q
feet, inches as before. This means
more revolutions to produce the re-
CURED speed, but much easier action,
