Jerry Campbell, lieutenant of
police detectives of the P. B. and
W. R. R who resides in Clayton,
arrested Sunday, Harry Belts for
illegal train riding. He was brought
before Magistrate Anthony of Smyr-
ma and sentenced to 60 days in Dover
Jail. In his possession was found a
set of double work harness, three
brides and two lap robes. Coinci-
dent with this arrest a stray team
with a gray horse was found at large
in Clayton and it is supposed that
Belts had been using it and left to
steal a ride to parts unknown. The
officers are looking into the ease and
if evidence can be secured, Belts
will be turned over to the State au-
thorities after his sentence is up.

The Fifth Annual Boys Conference
of Young Mems Christian Associations
and Church Clubs of Maine closed its
three-days session in this city Sunday
evening after a most interesting and
profitable convention. The Augusta
conference was the largest Boys con-
ference that the world has ever seen
and it has made a lasting impression
upon all who have attended it's meet
inss or had any knowledge of it's work
ings.
TIL boys who came to attend the
convention have conducted themselves
in a commendabie manner while on the
streets of She city and in the homes
of their hosts and they have also been
good listeners at the services and have
shown that in spite of deep seated
opinion to the contrary the American
boy can sit still for the purpose, of lis
tering to anything in which he is par
ticularly interested. The wearers of
the red badge and triangle quite took
the city by storm and young and old
alike will long cherish kindly mem
cries of the manly enthusiastic con-
ference boys whom they have met dur
ing tho past week.
The conference speakers have all
been recognized authorities upon
Christian work among boys and young
men and they included such men as
DR. l.. L. Doggett, the president of
the great Springfield, Mass, Training
School, Rev. George w. Hinckley of
Hinckley, the founder of Good Will
Farm, H. w. Gibson of Boston, state
boys secretary for Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, DR.. George j. Fisher of
New York, international secretary of
the Y. NJ. c. A. and Rev. Charles M.
Woodman of Portland, president Of
the State Y. p. S. c. f.
Prof. Francis r. North of Portland
principal of Portland High school, and
chairman of the State committee on
boys work, has been of great assist
arce to state Secretary Smith during
the last two days of the conference
in the introduction of delegates and the
giving out to the delegates of the con-
ference notices and instructions. Two
members of the local committee of ar
rango,ncnts nnon whom has fallen the
rrunt of thn burden in preparing for
the conference and in seeing that the

I'm the United states today there

us are living on the lower levels Of the

Have you thought what living on that
lower physical level means? 1t means
poverty and a great deal OF crime that
might otherwise be eliminated. The
hopeful thing is that the death rate is
something that you can attack and at
tack successfully.

and President Morrison grasping his
hand, said: In behalf of this gather

this honor. 1t is the greatest honor
that the Y. NJ. G. A. of the State can
confer I am sure, that everyone will
agree with me in congratulating Mr..
Merrill. The newly elected president
in a brief speech thanked the conven-
ton for the honor bestowed upon him
and said that he would do the best he
could to fulfill the duties of his office.
The newly elected president of the
BOYS conference, Arthur S. Merrill of

THE Possibilities in Manual Train
ing for Boys" was discussed by Wall
lace f. Spear of Rockport. The
speaker said:
In taking up such study as the
possibilities of manual training one
has a broad subject to contend with,
and many points to consider. 1t is a
subject which has received much at
tention OF late and is being taken up
by the foremost educators of the
country. BY educators l mean not

other institutions. Classes in manual
training have been established in
many instances where boys, who do
net have the advantage Of this in
structi0n in school may take it up, and
chief among institutions of this char
acter is the Young Mems Christian
Association. An association opens up
a broad field for manual training
among boys, especially in large
town or city and places the opportuni-
ty for self improvement within reach
of practically every boy and young
man of such community, although
generally certain rules will allow only
boys of suitable age to have this
training This age limit admits boys
of such ages as will be most benefited
by the training and bars those to
whom it would be of little use.
Where it is possible 1t is wise to
form classes in the different branches
of manual training. OF course In the
associations of the larger towns and
cities more classes may be established
than is possible in a similar institu-
ton of small communities. and a great
deal depends on the amount Of money
far more depends on the number Of
boys, who take an interest in It.
l think it is safe to say that classes
can be formed in certain branches OF
manual training where very little
money is at command. If a proper in
terest is shown by the boys them
selves, for it is the interest of the,
boys, which makes such class sue
cess, or their lack of interest which
makes it a failure. .I
In the larger associations several
classes in the different branches are
often formed. In smaller associations
or other local institutions where this
is not possible one class for the study
Of some particular branch of training
is taken up for a season. The next
year class for the purpose of study
ing some other particular branch can
be organized on the same lines. pro-
vided the first proved a success. In
this way the boys who attend the
classes faithfully get a great deal out
of the training.

along their particular line Of work.

much to do with his advancement. =

Philadelphia, Feb. becoming sud-
denly and when least expected, a strike
was again declared against the Phia-
delphia Rapid Transit Co. by the
Amalgamated Association of Street and
this afternoon.
Tonight the police and firemen were
busy handling turbulent crowds in sew
eral sections of the city.
Two cars were burned. a score of cars
were attacked, forcing their crews to
abandon them, and numerous arrests
were made. Except in the, central part
of the city. street car service was all
most at standstill tonight.
The most serious disturbances were
in Kensington, Philadelphia's great
mill district in the northeastern part of
the city. Two cars in different parts of
that district were attacked by boys and
strike sympathiZers, compelling the
crews to abandon the cars.
The cars were wrecked and both were
then set on fire The fire department
was summoned, but the cars were
damaged beyond repair before the fire
men arrived.
Great crowds collected in the vicinity
of the burned cars and for a time it
was feared a riot would follow. The
firemen. however. We're ordered to turn
their hose on the crowd and the mob
quickly scattered.
Along Kensington avenue lumber
and other distractions were piled on the
tracks The usual big Saturday night
crowd. out for fun, was in evidence.
nc further general disorder occurred.
The traction company withdrew all its
cars in that section at night, the company
declaring that it had men to run them,
but had no desire to cause the trouble.
Today's strike is the second declared
by the trolley men within year. The
strike came so suddenly that thousands
of persons were caught away from their
homes and much inconvenience was caus-
ed blythe curtailment of street car ser
vice.
The leaders of the union claim that the
trouble was started by the company, but
the corporation retorts that the strike was
a prearranged affair by the union.
Since the threatened strike of month
ago a committee from the union and
President Charles o. Kruger of the COM
pany had been endeavoring to reach an
agreement to take the place of the one
/, made after the strike of last summer.
which expired on June /. The men in the
proposed agreement asked for an increase
in wages and among other things wanted
to bind the company to not recognize any
other union but the Amalgamated Asso-
citation.
The union leaders charged that rival
organization known as the United Car
, mems Association had been put in the
field to defeat the efforts being made by
the Amalgamated Association for better
working conditions. The company declin-
ed to recognize the Amalgamated Asso-
citation exclusively. but said that its men
were free to belong to any union they
wanted to.

0fficers-~AI| Service Suspended
About 500 Arrests Sunday.

dispersed after Is arrests had been
made.
The persons most seriously injured
in today's rioting was 13-year- odd Viola
Beavan, who was wounded in the alb
DOMAIN by stray bullet from a po-
licemar's revolver as she was stepping
from her nome in North 18th street
while a mob was attacking five troll
ley cars in front of the house. George
FeltSaup, a nurse in the Friends Asy-
lum, was also struck by stray bull
let while Fastening to a train. His
condition is not regarded as critical.
The transit officials say that 297 cars
We're wrecked, two were completely
burned and one was partially burned
by the mohs today Two thousand six
hundred and eight car windows We're
smashed. The officials of the company
charge that the rioting was directed
by union men and was the result of a
plot to intimidate the loyal conductors
and motormen. They say that all their
lines except those in the northeastern
sections of the city where the roting
was the most severe, will be in opera
ton tomorrow.
The labor leaders say they will force
the company to arbitrate. They charge
that the company has for months by a
series of petty prosecutions been en-
deavOring to force the union to strike
and finally by discharging a large
number of union men practically de-
clared lockout.
Wonderful attention to details was
shown by those engaged in wrecking
and burning cars. Before the car was
burned at 26th and Wharton streets. a
freight car on a nearby siding was
forced across the street blocking the
possible arrival of fire engines. The
pins were withdrawn from the car
wheels and every possible precaution
was taken to prevent the car from be-
ing moved after the torch had been
applied to the cotton waste with which
1t had been filed.
Before the car at First and Somer-
set streets was set on fire it was raised
from the track with stone blocks.
The strikers and their sympathizers
are displaying more bitterness against
the company than at any time during
the strike.
