June Memorial Day was OBJ
served at this place on Monday, May
3 st. The weather being very fine
the exercises were carried out with
much success. At 10 o'clock the
parade was formed into line at the
VI. +. church, with Emory S. Whip
pie as President, and John Knapp,
Marshal, followed by the Orson Cor
net Band, the school children, carry
ing flags, followed by the old sold
iers. At the entrance of the ceme-
terry the Marshal gave the command
to "Open Ranks and Forward
March," when the soldiers marched
through under an arch made by the
Red, White and Blue" They were
joined by the President and Marshal
when the graves of the dead soldiers
were decorated with flags and flow
ers carried by the flower girls.
Then they halted in front of Com
rade William Chamberlain grave,
where Comrade James A. Kay took
charge of the program. Appropriate
exercises were rendered, consisting
of song by the company, America; ;
prayer by Rev. o. G. Russell; Lin
coins Gettysburg address, by Erie
Sheldon; address by Comrade David
Wilcox, and recitation by Dr.. j. A.
Kay. During the exercises the band
rendered several appropriate selec-
tions. Line being again formed the
procession marched back to the
hall, where an elaborate dinner was
served by the Ladies' Aid society,
and young ladies of the neighbor-
hood. After dinner Mr.. Whipple
called the people into the church
where the remainder of the program
was given as follows: Song by the
choir; recitation by Mrs. J. H. Shell
don, entitled THE Blue and the
Gray; selection by the band; address
by Comrade Rev. Mr.. Tower, of
Thompson, who was the speaker for
the day. Although Mr.. Tower is
failing in bodily strength and vitality,
he is yet able to deliver a grand
speech, and tells of many of the real
adventures that he encountered while
facing the bullets away back in the
sixties. His talk was very much en-
joyed by all who heard him, and our
prayer is that he may be permitted to
meet with us and tell more of his
experience in the future. Short ad-

ton Hains Not Guilty.

After reviewing the evidence for
twenty-five hours and taking fifteen
ballots before all were agreed, the
jury at Flushing, N. Y, in the trial
Of Thornton Jenkins Hams found the
prisoner not guilty as principal with
his brother, Captain Peter C.. Hams,
Jr., in the killing of William Il. Annis.
For the second time in his life
Thornton Hams had been found not
guilty OF the charge of murder, the
magazine writer being acquitted Of
shooting a companion named Edward
A. Hannigan, in an open boat in Hamp-
ton Roads, seventeen years ago.
Jurors stated that the first ballot
stood to for acquittal and early in
the morning the ballot showed a gain
OF one for acquittal Jurors Hecker,
johnson, Richmond and Boenig voted
for conviction Of murder, Juror Boenig
holding out until the final ballot was
taken just after Judge Crane had sent
for the jurors. and then changed his
vote to acquittal making the jury unar-
imous.
Officials of the district attorneys
office in Queens county are quoted as
saying that the verdict in this case
probably means that Captain Hams

WE ARE SENDING HOUSES.
Lumber and All Building Materials
Are Following the Food.

The navy department has arranged
for the expenditure of $5OO,OO0 in the
purchase of building materials, in
cllSling all articles necessary for the
construction of substantial frame
houses for the Italian sufferers, and
the shipments began by the sailing of
two steamers on Monday.
Each ship will carry all the mater
ials for the construction of about 500
houses, and 1t will require not less
than six steamers for the entire
amount purchased. If possible, the
department intends to send with each
vessel several civilian house carpent-
ers, with plans, to assist in the erec-
ton of these houses.
The civilian carpenters will be Sc

SUIT OF GOVERNMENT
For Libel Against Several
Newspaper Men.

Nature of Charges and Mode Of Pro-
cedure Are Matters of Much Mys-
terry and SpecuIatlon-BeIieved to Be
In Relation to Certain Alleged Libel
Gus Publications Charging Scandal
In Connection With Purchase of the
Panama Canal.
The most interesting suggestion re-
garding the service of subpoenas upon
number of newspaper men, is that
an individual and not the United
States government is the real plaintiff
in the case in the inquiry by the Dis
trict grand jury into alleged libelous
publications charging scandal in con-
nection with the purchase of the
Panama canal. 1t is true that the sub.
poeas lately served read "The United
States versus the Press Publishing
company" But If the proposed action
is for alleged criminal libel, as is gen.
orally assumed, that would be the
form of subpoena even where an in
hividual Is the complainant, according
to the practice in the District of CO.
lumbia.
The identity of this individual or in.
dividuals, for there may be more than
one of them, is purely matter Of spec
ulation, for the public will have to
await the issue of the promised state
ment of Attorney General Bonaparte,
any accurate understanding Of this
remarkable case.
Possibly President Roosevelt him
self is the complainant, or it may be
that the action was begun by William
Nelson Cromwell or by Douglas Rob-
inson or any Of the persons named in
the original newspaper publication in
an invidious way.
Local lawyers are discussing the
case with interest and already sharp
differences Of opinion appear as to
the right of the United States govern
ment to prosecute an individual or a
newspaper, which is after all the bone
Of contention, for there can be no ques-
tion of the right of an individual to
bring such an action.
1t is pointed out that the supreme
court is on record in the Goodwin case
as denying the right of United States
circuit court to take jurisdiction in
criminal libel case.
On the other hand, while it is ad-
mitted that there is no statutory law
warranting such an action by the gov
ernment, it certainly does enjoy such
a right under common law as an abb
soiutely necessary measure of power
to protect the very existence of the
government.

BELIEVED TO Be
SUICIDE PACT
S. C. CaTSkadd0n and Wife
Found Dead In Bedroom.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 19.-Having evil
IDENTIFY carried out a suicide pact.
Schuyler G. Carskaddon and wife were
found dead in the bedroom OF their
home in South Norfolk.
Both had been shot through the
back of the head the bullets crashing
through their brains.
A revolver was found on the floor
at the side of the bed in which the
couple lay side by side.
The theory of the police is that the
husband shot his wife by pre-arrange-
ment and then turned the pistol on
himself.
Mr.. Carskaddon was foreman OF the
Walworth-Neville Manufacturing plant
and came here from South Bend, Ind,
his former home. His wife is said to
have been a native of New York city.
