NO LABOR TROUBLES
In Great Northern Paper Mills Says
President Schenck.

Bangor, Me, July According to A.
Ledyard Smith, the report of Carrot
Schenck, president of the Great North
ern Paper Co, there will be no labor
troubles in the mills either at Milli-
nocket or Madison at present or, as
far as can be seen, in future. Contracts
have been signed for July l, extending
over varying periods, the Great North
ern milking it's own lines of demarca-
ton Neither does the company intend
going back onto a two-shift basis. Mr..
Smith says that business with the
Great Northern is fair, but that there
was no foundation for the reports sent
out by labor leaders that the mills
would either close or go back onto the
two-shift arrangement. Mr.. Smith was
in Bangor Wednesday and was appar-
entity greatly satisfied with the way
things had gone.

THE KINGDOM SAILS.
Sandfords Bark Leaves Portland Tues
day for Parts Unknown.

Portland, Me-, July LATTER remain
several months after her return from
the Holy Land the barkentine King
dom, owned by the Holy Ghost and Us
Society of Shiloh, sailed from this port
Tuesday afternoon, destination un-
known.
Within the past week those on board
the barkentine have been busy in
bringing ashore some of the old fur
niturc and having it fixed up, and the
fittings as well as the barkentine itself
have been undergoing a thorough
cleaning.
Nothing has been done in the way
of laying in stock of provisions for
a long trip so it is probable that only
a short run has been made, some be-
leving that the barkentine will only
go outside a short distance to engage
in fishing to catch q supply of fresh
fish for the wants of the crew.
II is understood that later in the
season the barkentine will fit up and
start out on another cruise in the
work of evangelizing the world.
1t was at first thought that the
Kingdom would sail for South Free
port which is Il favorite anchoring
ground but up to a late hour telephone
messages to that place were to the eff
feet that she had not reached there
and nothing was known of her coming.
as is usually the case when any of the
Sanford fleet are intending to drop
anchor there

Secretary Taft Retires
From Official Position,
Pleased TO Start Successor In
1.-THE Way He Should Co."
Retiring Official Takes Up Work
Of His Campaign.

Washington, July 1.-Secretary of
War William II. Taft today relinquish-
ed to other hands the reins of official
position and once more became a
private citizen.
After having been the executive head
of the war department for four years
and five months, he retires now to
undertake the duties of responsibilities
OF candidate of great political party
for the Presidency.
Mr.. Tafts final duty at the war de-
partment was the presentation to the
officials of the department of his sue
cessor, Governor Luke +. Wright. He
said he regarded it as not merely a
duty but a pleasure to induct Governor
Wright into his new office and to
start him on the way he should go"
AS private citizen. Mr. Taft is in
clined to the opinion" as he expressed
it, that he will have enough to do for
few months to occupy the attention
of any reasonable man."
Mr.. Taft took up in earnest today
the work of his political campaign
Despite rumorS and conjectures
which have been afloat, for several
days, regarding the selection of a
chairman of the Republican national
committee, substance is given that the
choice of Mr.. Taft as yet has fallen
definitely upon no man. Tentatively,
at least, two decisions have been
reached since the subcommittee of the
national committee conferred with Mr..
Taft in Cincinnati June 20. but in both
instances the decision practically had
to be abandoned.

Police Hot on Trail Of
Dr.. Wilson's Slayer.
Man Who Lost Wife Seems 10
Have Sent the Poison.
Descriptions Said to Tally In
Every Instance.

Philadelphia, July 1.-While the Of
ficials still decline to name the man
who is thought to have sent poisoned
ale to DR.. William H. Wilson of this
city last week, it said they know ex-
actly what they are talking about
when they say that they believe the
physician was murdered by man
who was angered because his wife
died under the physicians Treatment.
1t is stated that Mrs. Wilson turned
over to the coroner memorandum
book kept by her husband III which
appear the names of many wealthy
persons who went to him. Among
these names was that of the man sus-
pectcd. His wife died sometime ago
and her Death was reported to the
coroner's Office, though DR.. Wilson's
name was not at that time connected
with the case in any way. The de-
tectivcs learned that this man had
been friend of Wilson. but that he
was incensed against him.
In tracing the origin of the letter
sent to DR.. Wilson purporting to have
come from a brewing company which
desired to have the physician try a
sample Of new ale, it is stated that
they found the man who placed the
order for the printing of the false
brewery company letter in local
printing office, corresponded by des-
cription with the man whose name is
recorded i'll DR.. Wilson's memorandum
and whose wife is said to have died.
The description of the man who sent
the box containing the bottle of poi
soned ale to the physician through a
local express office, is also alleged to
correspond with that Of the man
whose name is in the physicians book.
This is the basis and outline of the
coroner'S case

Aouse In New York.
Big Publishers All Want His

Having Finished He Is Now Clear
Ing Up a Wood Lot.

oyster Bay, N. Y, July 1.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today asked Sec. Loeb
to deny report that he was negoti-

on which he would build a city home
The statement made by Mr.. Loeb was:
"In reference to the report publish

PROPOSES to purchase the Union Theo-
logical Seminary property, Sec. Loeb
said that there was certain stories
started which seemed to be even more
remarkable for their inanity than for
their Stnsationalism or mendacity
This particular story might just as
well have been that the President in
tended to purchase the Partheuon and
turn it into private residence. The
President has but one house--that at
oyster Bay-and has not the rcmotest
intention of building another any
where. Until the Presidents atten-
ton was called to the story in the
paper he not only had never heard
it suggested, but he would net have
believed that any human being would
have put in type a statement SO inane
Since the statement was published
that the President would go on an
extensive hunting trip in Africa next
April after he has rclinquished the
office as President, magazines and
book publishers have been beseiging
him for the right to publish his ex-
perienccs in either serial or book form.
At least half a dozen of the represent
tativcS of big concerns of that kind
have been out to Sycamore Hill to
80. I.
ject since he, arrived here on his va
cation. Tnday'S visitors included Col.
S. 5. Mcclure and Casper Whitney,
the latter on his second visit to Saga
more Hill inside of Il week This has
given rise to the report that MIR. Whit
ncy may accompany the President.
1t is known that all the big pub
fishers are making cndcaVors to have
the President write for them. Whcth-
err he has closed a deal with any cam
not be learned. but it is believed that
he has as yet made no decision in the
matter.
President Roosevelt in the first 10
days of his vacation has succeeded
in doing considerable work in the
fields and woods on his grounds at
Sycamore Hills besides entertaining
many visitors.
The hay crop having been harvested
with his aid. the President has turn
ed his attention to the clearing of a
stretch of woods, comprising about
40 acres. This woodland adjoinS his
grounds and was recently purchased
by him to enlarge his estate.
With his axe on his shoulder, ac-
companied by an attendant. also with
an axe, the President this morning
started out for a few hours work
at tree chopping before receiving some
guests who have been invited to Saga
more Hill for luncheon.
At luncheon today the President en-
tertained Col. S. S. Mcclure. Casper
Whitney and James II. Williams. the
latter member of the Taft cam
