 OUT AGAINST
 CONVENTION
Want Power of Republican Party to Be in Hands of
 Republican Voters
Favor Direct Primaries and
 Election of Delegates Who Will Change Party Rules \ -Anti-Lobbying Plank

The movement to put the power of the Republican party into the hands of the Republican voters has taken definite form in the organization of The Republican association, which is now represented in every district in the city.
 The immediate object of the asso- citation is to elect delegates to the next Republican Town and City con- vention, who will be in favor of changing the rules so that nomina- tions for municipal offices can be made by the Republican voters direct, instead of by nominating convention as at present.
 The purposes of the organization are expressed in the following platform, which is now being generally circu- lated among Republicans in the fac tories and throughout the city.
 The platform:
 This organization shall be known as The Republican Association and it's purpose is to establish a municipal government that will be a benefit to all; a government for the people and by the people, which means Home Rule, without interference by the General Assembly. unless by referen. dunn to the people.
 Therefore be it further resolved that we band ourselves together and pledge ourselves to work unceasingly for the election of delegates to the next Republican Town and City copven- ton, who will be pledged to forth with change the party rules, 50 that candidates for municipal office may be chosen in party primaries, directly by the Republican voters.
 We believe that the people should have the right to veto legislation which they do not desire and to ini- tiate legislation which they do desire and that they should have at all times the right to recall faithless public ser wants. We pledge ourselves to work to secure laws giving these powers.
 We believe that just taxation is at the basis of honest government and we pledge ourselves to work for just taxation in city, state and nation. And we denounce the State tax upon the grand list of cities and towns as un- just and declare the personal tax to be an additional and unwararnted burden upon the heads of the citi- zens.
 We are opposed to the ambitions of all persons who desire political pow CT to promote the interest of public service corporations, or who desire such power in order to influence 1egis- lation, or sell it, and assert our belief that only those should be given posi- tions of trust by the Republican par ty, of whom it may be truthfully said that their chief desire is to serve the people.

BANDS OF FLOWERS
 ON THE FRENCH HATS.

High- crowned hats with very mar row brirns curving up over the ears and behind /are sometimes trimmed with a wide band of blossoms cover ing two-thirds of the shape, and with bow of ribbon that rises up good bit above the high crown.
 A hat of this shape in Manila has the narrow brim faced with dark blue tagal, above which are four rows Of moon daisies, half golden yellow with black hearts, and half black with yellow hearts, arranged alternately so as to form a check. Fine, long rows of dark blue ribbon striped with veil vet of the same color are set agalnst the crown at the back.
 have also seen this arrangement carried out entirely in king cuts and black velvet ribbon on a leghorn hat of somewhat similar shape.
 Many of the toques have their crowns covered with flowers, the shape underneath being pretty high, and the brim formed by. very broad straw braid woven so soft as to drape almost as easily as a ribbon. Here is specimen. The wide oomeo crown is covered with roses running from light to deepest cerise pink. Across the front and round the left part of the back is draped 10 inch wide hraid of ecru tagal. Behind the right ear the ends of the braids turn up, assuming the form of leaves or "ears" faced on their inner sides with ce- rise straw.
 The fancy for ears shows no sign of diminishing and there is a talk of adding other than asses ears to the number. In the meanwhile a good many milliners prefer leaves, some or which measure foot long made or fine straw and prettily crinkled at the edges Two make nice trlmmlns for a full sized broad brimmed hat. different colors being chosen; for 1n- stance reseda green and rose pink for a brown straw, and burnt orange ana maroon for navy blue straw. On the very large hats, with low domeo crowns, many milliners are again fa- voring flowers, generally used clus- tered closely together and without leaves. Often such clusters will coV- CT a portion of the brim or the whole of the crown or else one-haf or IL. leaving a circle of straw uncovered in the center.

HOLY ,GH0STER YACHT IS
 ABANDONED OFF AFRICA

Portland, Me-, 19.-The eventful career of the barkentine Kingdom, owned by the Holy Ghost and Us so- ciety of Shiloh, Me-. has come to an end. Word was received here to-day that the vessel had gone ashore off Sangomar, West Africa, to the south ward of Cape Verde and not far from the British port of Bathurst and that Captain A. K. Perry had declared that he would make no attempt to float her. Captain Perry and the 16 men in the crew are safe and many of their personal effects were trans-ship- ped to a Portuguese schooner.
 Where Are Converts.
 It is believed that Rev. Frank w.. Sandford, founder and head of the society, was not aboard the Kingdom but on the society'S other vessel, the yacht Coronet, which has recently been in the same vicinity. What has become of the Az persons, including a number of women and children who left Maine on the Kingdom last fall, is not yet explained. It is supposed, however, that they are on the Coronet or else have been landed somewhere on the west African coast to form either a temporary or a permanent colony.
 The Kingdom registered 491 tons net, was built at Boston in 1873, and hailed from Portland.
 45O at Shiloh.
 After establishing the colony of the Holy Ghost and Us society at Shiloh, Me-, number of years ago, Leader Sandford purchased the King dom and the Coronet and made mum erous voyages, establishing branch colonies in various parts of the world, including Palestine. On his latest trip he has been heard from within six weeks as cruising in the vicinity of the Cape Verde islands. Numerous charges have been made at various times against Sandford, alleging cruelty to members of his colonies and on his viist to Maine waters last fall he kept outside the three mile limit most of the time to avoid arrest on warrants charging him with detaining persons on his vessels against their will. Counsel for the society to-day said that the 45O persons in the Shiloh colony at present were in a comfortable and contented state.

port. And one half of these is now owned by 37 holders, many of these are closely connected. This section furnishes only one sixth of the an- nuai cut Thus it's timber is being largely held for the future and the large owners there will be the domi- hating influence in the industry.
 "The Southern Pacific Company holding is the greatest in the United States, 106 billion feet. The second largest holder is the Weyerhauser Timber Company, including it's sub sidiary companies, with 96 billion feet. These two holdings have one eleventh of our total private timber and would supply the 46,584 saw mills of the country for four and two thirds years.
 '"The third largest, the Northern Pacific Railway Company, has 36 bill lion feet. The standing timber of these three holdings, if sawed into lumber and paced on cars, would load a train about 100000 miles long,"
 Unusual reticence was manifested at the Department of Justice, today, over the lumber trust prosecutions as the entire plan has not been com pleted.

Thanks to the appearance of Charles Bergstrom, a painter who converses readily in the Finnish tongue, the mysterious prisoners, Oevo Korsman and Alex Kito. arrested as "train rid ers'' in the local freight yards on Thursday were able to explain to the court the conditions that brought them here.
 Despite their unusual appearance, the prisoners proved to be little apart from the common of garden variety of train jumpers. They got out of work in New York city and hearing there was employment in Gloucester, Mass, started there by way of the freights.
 Judge Foster sentenced them to jail fer 70 days.

Conspiracy To
 Steal Crime Of
 Poor Box Crooks
Men Who Fished in Holy Rosary Church, in Treas ury of the Poor, Held in $2,50O Bail.

Through Prosecutor Redden's sub- stitution of the charge of conspiracy to commit theft for the more com monplace offence of theft. John Bas- tacci and Louis Rossi, the two men captured Wednesday in flight from the Holy Rosary church where it was alleged they had robbed the poor each for trial in the Superior court.
 Rossi came from New York this morning to stand trial. He had se- ctred his freedom on Thursday morn ing in bail of $500. But when the bail was fixed at S2,50O for his re- court. he confessed his inability to secure the sum, and went to jail with Bastacci.
 Several witnesses were heard as to the circumstances of their discovery in the church. Angel DeToro, a is his uncle. testified to peeping through a hole in side door when he heard the noises of men in the church. and told of their suspicious conduct in proximity to the poor boxes. Father DeToro himself and his assistant told of their being sum- moned, and the police testified as to the discovery of several dollars in change upon their persons many of the coins being gummed as if from the use of their ingenious device by which money can be taken from poor boxes, the device consisting of, a thin wire with a wax end to which the coin adheres.
 Attorney F. B. Fallon sought to have the offence of theft prosecuted, rather than the graver charge of con- spiracy, but Judge Foster upheld Prosecutor Redden and found prob able cause, as stated.
 Bastacci claims 53 McDonough street, New York, as his home, while Rossi says his address is 215 w. 18th street Both were we'll clad, and spoke excellent English though they claimed Italian nativity.
