70 GIVE WIRELESS TEST
scout Cruiser Salem Starts From Bos-
ton on Four Months Cruise


ton on -Four Months Cruise
Boston, Dec. 6.-The scout cruiser
Salem left the navy yard yesterday
for one of the most extensive wireless
tests ever conducted. The present
plans call for a trip of four months,
comprising many thousands of miles,
and upon the tests depend whether the
other ships of the navy will be equip
ped with the particular kind of wire
less used.
The specifications for this test re-
guire that messages be sent and re-
ceived for at least 1000 miles under
all conditions and sent and received
for 5000 miles under favorable condi-
tons. Nothing that the navy depart
ment can think of will be omitted to
make the test supreme. The mes
sages will be sent in fair weather and
foul, in tropical storms and Arctic
calm, in rain and fog, by day or by
night.

The determination of King Gustav
to learn the condition of the working
men by mingling with them and TAX
ing part in their labors has resulted
from the recent stagnation of the
business life of the country from a
general strike. King Gustav inter-
vened last August in an endeavor for a
compromise. without avail.
The strike lasted months and in
volved thousands of men, the employ
ers' association paying $40 900 daily
to support its weaker members, while
the trades unions and other working
mems associations exhausted their
entire funds to keep the strikers from
starving
Eventually arbitration was under
taken by the Swedish government to
settle the dispute, and in the interim
many of the workmen returned to
their tasks, although the number of
unemployed remained very great.
King Gustav, the queen and other
members of the royal family, as we'll
as the cabinet ministers, contributed
to a national fund which was raised
by subscription to provide loans to
the working classes.
Homesteads have already been APP
portioned among the unemployed, but
conditions remained such as to cause
the king and his government grave
anxiety. The king found difficulty in
ascertaining the facts, and during the
past week or two he has arranged to
join various craftsmen and laborers at
their work in such a guise that they
cannot recognize him.

STORY FAvORS
MISS LIE BLANC
Witness Says Another Woman
Was In GIOVGr'S Laundry
SAW Her WHEN She FLED

Also Saw Glover Work His Way to
Doctors House-Thought Actions of
Both Were Caused by Intoxication-
Norton's Story onfirmed-Strain
Beginning to Tell on Wife of Muir
dered Man
Waltham, Mass, Dec. IA Wal
than young woman, who states posi-
lively that she saw a woman who was
not Hattie lie Blanc walk out of the
alley from the laundry the night Clar-
ence F. Glover was murdered, has
been found by the detectives working
for Hattie LIE Blanc's relatives.
The woman, who knew the Glover
family well, and also Hattie LIE Blanc,
is sure of her facts. She told the
detectives that on the night Glover
was shot she was walking along Cres-
cent street a few minutes after 8
o'clock.
When at the head of Clifford alley,
which leads from Crescent street to
the laundry, she heard two shots. A
few feet past the head of the alley
she stopped to crafty her curiosity.
AS she was standing, listening, she
says she saw a woman come furtively
up the aney, and hurry along Cres-
cent street towards Main street.
This woman, she says she is posi-
XNThi1n
she still stood wondering at the
strange actions of the disappearing
woman, she saw Glover stagger I'M
certainly up the alley, reach the stone
wall and then, hand over hand, work
his way along to the corner of Dr..
Cousens' house.
At the time the witness thought
that the strange actions of both man
and woman were caused by intoxica-
ton.
This young woman also saw Carl
Norton, the young man who reported
to the police that he saw woman
leaving the laundry by way of the al
ley. She confirmed Norton's story,
by telling the detectives that she saw
another man with Norton. The other
man, Norton told the police, was
stranger to him who had simply
stopped to ask him for a light.
The detectives who are working for
the interests of Hattie LIE Blanc hope
that by this woman's evidence they
can prove the existence of a third
party in the laundry at the time that
Glover was shot.
The name of this young woman is
known to the detectives. She is at
present employed in the escape de-
partment of the Waltham Watch COM
pany. She had told several of her
girl shopmates the story of her ex-
perience on the night that Glover was
shot, and it was from one of the lat
ter that the detectives learned the
identity of the woman and the i'm
portance of her story.
A close friend of the family states
that Mrs. Lillian Glover, wife of the
murdered man, whose fortitude since
the tragedy has been the subject of
comment, seems to be slowly break
ing down under the strain.
Her condition is said to be so seri-
Gus that it is now a question whether
or not she will be able to appear as a
witness at the hearing of Hattie lie
Blanc tomorrow in the district court.

The denial of the motion for a re-

the sentence committing him to five
years in the Leavenworth federal peni-

Walsh to bail, but permitted him to
defer the beginning of the sentence
pending the application to the supreme
court, meanwhile placing him in the

CHRISTMAS GIVING

There is something about Christ
mas giving,-thinking about others.
and what they will like,-that
warns the heart and makes one feel
cheerful and happy and busy. That
is, if the giving is done in the right
way; not by bestowing useless tri-
fles that soon degenerate into
clutter" just for the sake of giving
something, nor gifts so expensive
that you begrudge them, because
handsome ones have been or may
be given to you. Give something
you believe is needed or desired by
the recipient,
If too much for your single purse,
the spirit of the day is "combina-
tion." How. for instance, would the
mother appreciate an easy chair, or
q new cloak or dress, given by all of
her children? Or ons family might
unite in giving to another a good
picture, or subscription to a mag
azine. Pretty china and porcelain
dishes, or chafing dish. are always
acceptable, and will bring many a
pleasant thought OF the donor If
marked. "For daily use." But the
main thing is for each to be bent on
making every other member of the
family happy and comfortable, even |
down to the old horse and dog and |
cat and the birds that winter with |
you; and it will thus be sure to be |
happy time, full of the true spirit OF
Christmas.

Saturday which is drunk on Sun
day, and for which they can iii at
ford to pay" is most exaggerated
statement, and a most unwarranteC
reflection upon the honesty, integ
rity, and character 0f the employees
OF our manufacturing plants. We
call upon all SUI b employees tc
show their resentment OF thus sian
der by voting the DRY ticket. II
is contrary to all reason TO say that
preventing the sale OF liquor in.
creases its use. 1t is because the
saloon people know that every open
saloon means an increased consump-
tiou of liquor that they make such
great efforts to carry City WET.
Fourth. 1t is we'll known to all
that liquor Injuries mans physical,
mental and moral nature, aod should
not therefore be used except as pre-
scribed by a physician. We feel
that man is placing himself in a
most unreasonable and illogical pc.
sition when he votes for q saloon for
the sale of liquor. and then opposes
the use of liquor.
Fifth. We have simply dealt with
tho material side of this question:
there is moral side of the discus.
sion into which we will not enter;
sufficient it is to say that a thing
that is morally wrong can never be
politically right. From the day that
Cain insolently asked his Creator,
Am | my brothers. keeper?" man
has vainly endeavored to shift the
responsibility for the welfare of his
fellowlnen. If you deliberately do
something that Injuries your neigh
bcr, both the laws of man and God
hold you responsible.
Sixth. We have no doubt but
what you will think Of other reasons
for voting DRY, but we ask that
yol carefully consider what we
have said, and then 90 to the polls
and vote in way that will not do
violence to either your conscience
Or reason, and let us all work in
harmony to make our little City
one that will be q source OF pride |
because OF the happiness and pros
perity of her citizens.
