Board of Trade Accusing Interest.

The Hallowell Board of Trade is not
only filling the minds of the business
men with Il determination to do some
thing, but is also interesting the
younger element, the coming business
men and business women of this city
with an enthusiasm to help the older
ones make it go. In this they deserve
credit, for in helping Hallowell they
arc helping the country round about.
To this end the amateurs are arrang-
ing for the play "Rio Grande,' which
has been twice given in this city with
great success, and the demand for its
repetition is unanimous. The play Is
Charles Townsend's great dramatic
success. Those taking part are adopts
in the art dramatic. In addition, Miss
Maude Andrews, the accomplished elo-
cutionist of Augusta, is having gener-
al supervision over every part, so that
Thursday evening, April Is, Wilson hall
will be the scene of a great entertain
ment The play is one of western army
life, but the army is only suggested;
there are no battle scenes, Indians,
horses, cowboys or red fire. The play
is entirely domestic in treatment and
the exciting events which follow in
rapid succession are rational effects
from self-evidert causes. Josie Segura,
"the william" Spanish-American
whose part consists in heavy and trag-
ic work, will be taken by Len1uel w.
Payson, Jr., James E. Leighton, who
essayed the role on former occasions,
will again be seen as Col. Lawton, COM
mander of the garrison at Fort Lam
ark, New Mexico. The ardent young

ArTalgned Monday IN Superior
Court at Cambridge. \
Two Motions to Quash lndlotmeni..
One Dismissed either Pending,

Cambridge. Mass. March 29.-In firm
tones and without the least trace Of ner-
vousness, Chester S. Jordan pleaded not
guilty to the indictment charging him
with wife murder, when arraigned before
Judge Edgar r. Sherman in the Middle
sex county superior criminal. court at
East Cambridge today. Immediately af-
ter the plea had been entered, Attorney
Harvey H. Pratt of Boston of counsel for
the defence offered two motions, one be-
ing for plea to the jurisdiction. and the
second a motion to quash the Indictment.
The motion for plea to the Jurisdiction
is a lengthy document and sets forth tho
claim that Jordan should be held no
longer. on the ground that the grand jury
which indicted him was "unlawfuliy and
irregularly summoned and convened."1
The specific allegation is that in the
towns Of HOLSTER and Ashland too many
names are on the grand Jury list, and
consequently the drawing of grand Jury
ment was necessarily irregular. ~
After District Attorney Higgins had
made long argument in support of the
indictments, Judge Sherman announced
that he would override the first motion
to quash that based on general grounds,
but in the second hased on the question
of jurisdiction. 1.-THE court stated that It
would be taken under advisement. -
Judge Sherman intimated however,
that he might overruIe the second motion
and warned all the counsel in the case to
be prepared to begin the actual trfai of
Jordan on April 20. Counsel for Jordan
filed exceptions to the ruling Of the court.
The motion to quash the indictment
was based on the claim that the indict-
ment does not make clear the crime In
tended to be charged and that in conse-
quence the prisoner viii not be able to
prepare his defence The motion stated
that the indictment is vague. Indefinite
and uncertain" and is in violation Of the
defendants constitutional right
