Washington, ID. C., July l7.--With the
semi official announcement that Presi-
dent Taft will appoint four Ohio Repub-
licans to important government posts
in Washington, it became apparent that
one of the first moves in the fight tine
Taft leaders are making for the presi-
dents reelection will be an attempt to
strengthen their relations with the Re.
publican state organizations throughout
the country.
Taft leaders stated last night that the
third party would be fought through the
Republican state organizations.
The contemplated Ohio appointments

LOVE OF MOTHER SAVED cULPRIT
Worcester Judge Is Lenient to l6-Year-
Old Youth.

Worcester. Mass, July l7.-Timothy
Maras Impulse to have his mother with
him in his hour of trouble gave the court
officers in the Juvenile court and the
Worcester police department an hour OF
unnecessary trouble and activity yester-
dav and resulted in the boy obtaining
leniency from Judge Utley, before whom
he had been arraigned on a charge OF
breaking and entering and violating his
probation.
Young Mara is the l6-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Timothy j. Mara of 27
Mendon street. He was in the court
room and with Michael. O'Connor Is
years old, pleaded guilty to the charge
of breaking into the home of Frank J..
Yates at Mendon street on the night OF
July |. While the case was being dis
eussed, the question was raised if Mara's
parents had been notified to appear, as
is customary in cases of violated proba-
ton Without waiting further, young
Mara left the court room and went to
his home. When his disappearance was
noted, the police were notified and motor
cyele policemen were told to be on the
watch. In the midst of the hubbub the
boy reappeared with his mother.
His act had favorable impression on
Judge Utley. who continued the case for
week. and Probation Officer Armstrong
said that he would at that time with
draw the charge of violated probation
and have the lad placed on probation on
the other charge.

MADE THREE ARRESTS
IN NEW BEDFORD, MASS
Strikers Made Demonstration Before Mill
Where Strike Is Not in Effect, Try
ing to Dissuade Operatives
From Working.

New Bedford, Mass, July 7.-Twc
men and a woman were arrested as the
result of disorderly demonstrations at
the Gates brothers mill to-day, in con-
nection with the strike. They are Frank
j. Andrade, Antoine Camara and Sophia
0gara For over an hour a thousand
strikers and their friends held a posi-
tion where the strike was not in effect
and refused to let the operatives enter
for work Superintendent John A. Fernl-
ry of the mill was handled roughly
while attempting to clear the sidewalk
of the strikers, but was uninjured. No
attempt was made to damage the mill
property. Most of the crowd wore In
,dustrial Workers of the World buttons.
The police finally dispersed them.
There were no further disturbances
this morning. John Hobin, president of
the textile council, said he was opposed
to riotous acts, and he advised the strik-
ers to remain away from the mills and
expressed the opinion that picketing was
unnecessary. Chief Of Police Harry w.
Mason warned the strikers and their ysm-
pathizers against violence and informed
them he would preserve peace and pro-
tect the people.
A committee representing the weavers'
union planned to confer late in the day
with officials of the seven corporations
not yet affected by the strike, in an ef-
fort to secure a statement whether those
mills intended to maintain the grading
system at any future time. Labor Lead
ers said that an unfavorable reply might
mean the extension Of the strike.
complete set of demands was drawn
up by the Industrial Workers of the
World last night These are directed
against all the mills, and include:
Total abolition Of the fning or So
called grading system.
Five per cent. increase in wages for
all carders spinners, and others receiv-
ing less than So week
Time and a half pay for all overtime
work
All changes in rules and regulations TO
be posted before being put into effect.
