MAINE SCHOONER LOST?
YawI lowed Into RockIand Belonged
to the Lizzie Cochran of Machias.

Rockland, Me-, June 5.-The two
Perth Amboy, n. j., for Machias, her
home port, with coal, is believed to
have been lost with her crew of five
men, Capt Everett c. Lindsey of East
Machias, part owner of the vessel,
came here today and identified the
yawl boat which was towed into this
harbor last Wednesday as belonging
to the Lizzie Cochran. Capt. Lindsay
was unable to identify the body Of a
man found in the yawl boat, but he
believes it was that of a sailor who
probably shipped on the Lizzie Cochran
at Perth Amboy.
James W. Lindsay of Harrington,
Me-, was in command of the schooner.
The mate was Bert Huntley, % years
old, of Cutler. The other members of
the crew were Fred Bryant of Cutler,
aged %, and Maurice DEMONS of East
Machias. aged q.
The Lizzie Cochran left Perth Amboy
May 80 and@was reported at Vineyard
Haven May "a. She left there the next
morning in company with the schooner
Hazel Del and since that time has not
been heard from. Capt. Lindsay thinks
is probable that the schooner was run
down by an Atlantic liner and that the
fate of the vessel may be learned when
the liner reaches her port. Color is
added to this opinion by the news
brought in Wednesday morning by
Captain Sawyer of the steamer City of
poo-1aO1 that no paScpd half of a
schooner is miles south of Seguin. The
yawl boat was picked up II miles
southeast of Isle Au Haut.
The Lizzie Cochran was built at
Brewer in 1870. She is 1OS feet long and
ISIS gross tonnage. She is owned by the
Machias Lumber Co., and Capt. Ever
EFT C. Lindsay and is valued at about
$4,000

Brunswick, Me-, June 5.-(SpeciaD. -
Never has any Bowdoin class enjoyed
a more beautiful day on which to hold
it's Ivy day exercises than the Glass
of 1863 enjoyed today. The campus
was in the height of it's beauty and
everything was life and animation.
Throughout the day the campus was
dotted with parties of students and
their friends The committee in charge
of the Ivy day exercises was composed
of Harry F. Hinkley of New York
City, Harold n. Marsh of Dixfield, Ar
thur II. Hughes of Brunswick, Clar-
encc l. Scammon of Fairfield and
morning everyone attended the Ivy
day game of baseball played on
Whittier field with Bates, which re-
suited in d victory for Bowdoin, 10
to 8.
At $50 in the afternoon the regular
Ivy day exercises were held in Memo
rial hall, which was filled to it's ca
pacity with relatives and friends of
the students and of the college. A
beautiful musical program was rem
dcred between the parts of the speak
ers by Wilson's Orchestra of Portland.
At TIE strains of the first march the
members of the Junior class entered,
IS in number, in caps and gowns,
marching in half time and in double
file lock step. The class was led by
Marshal Howard Francis Kane of
Machias. When they had taken their
places on the stage, c. l. Stevens of
the class offered prayer.
The Grafton delivered by William M.
Harris Of Lynn, Mass, on the subject
of "Bowdoin Spirit" was a stirring
and powerful address, and was much
appreciated by the audience. The ora

TlBBlES EXPLAINS,
Tolls What Became of Part Of That
$4,000 Campaign Fund.

Omaha, Neb., June 5.-Some light is
thrown on the disposition of the now
famous $4,000 campaign fund raised
in New York in 1904, and spent in the
Nebraska campaign, by a statement
given out today by Thomas H. Tibbles,
the Populist nominee for Vice Presi-
dent in 1904.
At that time Mr.. TibbleS was editor
of the Independent at Lincoln and
Bryan's Commoner was printer by the
Independent plant. Bryan's editorial
desk was in the Independent Office.
Mr.. Tibbles says:
II know right where $4,000 of that
New York fund went 1t went into a
special edition of $4,000 copies of the
Independent, which was gotten out for
for governor The entire paper was
given up to his candidacy in that edi-
ton. The Independent was Populist
and Berge was the fusion candidate
for governor. This amount was hand
ed us by Tom Allen, James G. Dahl
man and Col John G.. Maher. and they
secured the funds from the Demo-
cratic national committee on a trip
which they made to New York. Il do
not know what became of the other
$4,000 but I know positively the dis
position of that $4,000.
Il also know something about that
charge that the $4,000 was sent to
Nebraska to get Bryan to support
Parker. The day after Bryan returned
from the ST Louis convention he
dropped into the Independent office

VICTORY
FOR THE TAFT FORCES.
National Committee Decides Alabama
and Arkansas Contests, Seating "A
Delegates DemandFor RoNCa||.

sent out by Mr. Aldrich Of the anti
Taft faction, calling upon the outs"
to unite for the purpose of throwing
out the ms"
The purpose of introducing the let
ter was to show that the Scott-David-
son faction had publicly recognized
that the Thompson faction was the
regular organization.
Mr.. Aldrich acknowledged the au-
thenticy of the letter and it is believed
to have had much to do with the fact
that a roll call was not required to
decide the contest in favor of the
Thompson delegates. Mr.. Fairly made
powerful argument for his side.
All except members of the national
committee were excluded from the
room at Ais P. NJ. and few minutes
later it was known that the Taft dele
gates had been seated. There was no
demand for roll call.
The Arkansas contest involving the
two delegates from the 5th congress
sional district was then taken up. Only
half an hour was devoted and the COM
mittee voted without a dissenting voice
to seat the delegation instructed for
Secretary Taft. The other delegation
claimed to be for Taft's nomination
also. but it was not instructed. All of
the members of the committee were
present in person except Is.
John Edward Addicks, the member
from Delaware. and James w. Brook.
the member from Vermont, were alb
sent and We're not represented.
Tonight a meeting was held in the
room of Senator Hemenway Of Indi-
ana at the Auditorium Annex. 1t was
attended by representatives Of Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania, Vice President
Fairbanks and Speaker Joseph G. Can
non. A statement was prepared. 1t
says in effect:
Contests between Republicans
should be considered and decided by
those regularly and properly chosen
for that purpose and they only when
they can only honestly consider the
merits of each case in judicial frame
of mind"
The statement further declares that
if Secretary Taft has. as his friends
say. majority of the national COM
mittce. the presence of Messrs. Hitch
cock, Slater and Phelps on that COM
mittee is unnecessary and If, on the
other hand, the vote on the commit
tee is close, the presence of the three
men is improper and it leaves "the
nomination of the Presidential candi-
manager and two Of his assistants"

Bowdoin Spirit.

Tradition tells us that in the early
part of the 18th century, when the
Rowdoin pines were whispering their
cherished secrets to the poet Longtel-
low; when Hawthorne was laying the
foundations for the greatest novels of
his time, there was gradually growing
and taking form spirit which was
to make the name of Bowdoin famous
among American colleges. Many there
were in those days who went down to
Seldom and Gomorrah as the ends of
Winthrop hall was then called, to find
a new inspiration and new hope.
Ard did they find it? Look at Abbott.
Pierce, Kellogg, Bridge; look at
Cheaver, Stowe, Hale, Prentlss ana
Hamlin. who won fame for themselves
am honor for their college. Think OF
the hundreds of others who into their
own little spheres of life just as
t1,:lv carried this indominant spirit of
undergraduate days.
But lust what do we mean by Bow
dom Spirit? To be sure. it was that
which enabled Bowdoin in IS and SO
to twice beat the American intercolle-
giate record for four-oared crews: it
WIS IIidt WultIl NOli ti'C A>N' ''''so
intercollegiate track meet in go, and
it is that which has enabled many a
Bowdoin team to win where defeat
seemed cmnenty certain. But that
is not a definition.
one Bowdoin man, however, mas
both displayed this spirit and defined
it. 1t happened that in the great bat
tic of Gettysburg, he was colonel OIL
the Goth Maine, which was then in the
Sd Brigade of the 5th Army Corps,
commonly known as Vincents 1'rl-
ga 10. General Sykes had ordered Vim
cent to take Little Round Top, and
tho order had been passed to the 10Th
Maine which was on the left. For
hours they charged and recharged I'M
til not only their own ammunition was
exhausted but also that which they
had taken from the dead Confederate
soldiers. 1t was the critical point not
only of the battle but of a conflict in
which two millions of lives had al
ready been sacrificed. If Little Round
Top was not taken. LOngstreet would
mount his heavy guns during the night
and command the entire Union posi-
ton in the morning. What was to be
done3 Why that old Bowdoin spirit
which has turned many a defeat into
victory again came to the 'front.' the
order was given to charge and at the
point of the bayonet. they drove the
enemy from the summit, turned the
fortunes of war and performed one OF
the grandest achievements of military
history.
Again we saw him at Petersburg
His detachment was slightly in adj
/! vance of the main line when wore
came from General Grant that he was
able to charge the Ccnfederates at
o'clock. For a moment he was stunned
He remembered the charge of the Light
Brigade, but to question the justice
of the command would mean arrest
court martial and disgrace. One O'Clock
arrived and all the world knows how
1000 brave men charged into the jaws
of death and bearly 300 returned to tel
the story. Before he could reach the
enemy's entertainments the colone
was shot through the abdomen. AL
though he knew that the wound was
considered mortal, in order. that HI
might not discourage his soldiers by
falling, he calmly braced his SWORD
behind him and waited until his ranks
