Resolutions of Respect.

Resolutions on the death of Moses
Giddings, Esq. adopted at the meet
| ing of the board of trustees.
Since our last meeting this board
has lost its senior member in the
death of Moses Giddings. Esq, of Ban
gor. and as it's last mark of respect
we desire to place on record this
simple tribute to his memory
Mr.. Giddings was born Sept. 8. 1916.
and died Oct %, 1912, at the age of
95 years and they were years filled
with honor to himself and with service
to others. He was a business man of
keen perception, sound judgment and
answering integrity. and with his
simple habits of industry and thrift,
he built up for himself a rewarding
and substantial fortune He was elect
ed a trustee of the college i'm 1852 so
at the time of his death his service
has extended over period of 60 years,
La longer term by far than any other
trustee has served. His service too.
is remarkable in this. When he en-
tered in to the board he found among
his associates three men who had
been elected at the organization of the
college in 1921 and had served con-
''tb"AS SiiiAts ItSt were I1nOLflN
Boutelle and Nathann Gilman of Wa
terville and Chief Justice Nathan
Weston of Augusta. Mr.. Giddings
served with Chief Justice Weston for
one year, with Mr.. Boutelle for three
years and with Mr.. Gilman for seven
years. 1t seems almost incredible that
although approximately members have
sat upon this board since its organiza-
ton, we have been connected with the
fathers of his institution by this single
life
The older members of the board re-
member Mr.. Giddings with pleasure
and deep respect We recall his
strong face his courtley manner. his
gentle yet firm spirit.
He was constant attendant at the
meetings until within a few years and
ne served upon important committees
with ability and fidelity. He was with
the college in many periods of stress.
especially in the dark days of the civil
war and his wise counsel and hopeful

But you are going to stay here. are
you not?"
"Well. we nd to pay for these rooms
for five days, and 1 guess we will get
our moneys worth by occupying them.
The first session of the convention,
which marked the defeat of MIR. Bryan.
was a noisy and disorderly one. 1t be-
gan with every one apparently in the
best of good humor. but soon after the
opening prayer by Cardinal Gibbons. the
lines between the Bryan and anti Bryan
forces frightened almost to the breaking
point.
Mr.. Bryan was given an enthusiastic
greeting both from the floor and the
galleries when he made his first appear
ance and began his speech of protest
against Judge Parker. He had not pro-
ceeded far. however. before interruptions
began to be hurled at him. This was a
signal for further disorder. Senator Kern
was accorded treatment even less cour-
teous The hubbub grew to such an ex-
tent that when Judge Parker had been
elected and escorted to the platform to
make his keynote" speech. the disorder
was so great that "a recess was taken
until o'clock, tonight, when he resumed
his discussion of party principles and his
denunciation of the Chicago Republican
convention one of the most disgrace
full exhibitions in the political history of
the country.
Mayor Gaynor of New York was talked
of, late tonight. as a possible mate for
Champ Clark in the event of the latter's
nomination
For the permanent Craftsmanship Sem
ator Culberson of Texas and Senator
Kern of Indiana We're discussed in adj
dition to Mr.. James but opinion gener-
ally seemed to center on the latter. 1t
was said the Conservatives were ready
to throw their support to any man the
Progressives might decide upon.
Mr.. Bryan was in conference with
Senator Kern. tonight. when informed
that Judge Parker had expressed the
wish that every delegate would vote for
the Nebraskan as head of the resolutions
committee. He sent out word that he did
not care to make any statement regard
ing Judge Parker's remark until he had
read the whole speech. That Mr. Bryan
would accept if the committeeman Sc
ected him as chairman of the platform
committee was taken for granted by Mr..
Bryan's friends.
Mr. Bryan left the hotel, at 10 o'clock
tonight, with his family, to attend a
reception given by Mayor Preston to Wis
iting delegates. He learned that there
would be no meeting of the platform
committee until tomorrow and planned
to pass the night at Mayor Preston's
home.
AS Mr.. Bryan edged his way through
the swarming crowds in the corridors
of the hotel to his automobile, he was
given an impromptu reception by the
delegates and visitor.
Mr. Bryan had nothing to say when
informed that the vote for the tempo
rary Craftsmanship had gone against him.
He returned to his hotel and locking him
self in his room, left word with the door
keeper that he would make no statements
and that he did not desire to be dis
turbed as he wanted to rest couple of
hours.

WILL RETURN TO WORK.
Striking Weavers at Clinton, Mass,
Give Up Losing Game.

Clinton, Mass, june 25.-After an I'm
successful fight of eight weeks to Sc
cure the reinstatement of their leader
Dennis j. Callahan, the striking weav-
ers of the Lancaster mills, tonight vot-
ed to return to work. Leaders of the
Industrial Workers of the World un-
der whose direction the strike was
conducted. advised the calling Off of
the strike. About $50 weavers We're di-
rectly concerned. although many more
had been forced. out of work by the
strike.
The operatives of the Lancaster
mills first left their work, March 90,
seeking an increase in wages This
strike was won and. April %, they re-
turned under an advanced scale. A
week later about $50 weavers walked
out, again claiming that Callahan. the
local Industrial Workers of the World
leader had been discharged without
just cause. The mill officials deny this.
claiming that Callahan had refused To
obey rules that had been in operation
for many years.
Although the mills continued in oper-
alton after the second strike there were
times when nearly 400 operatives We're
out of work. Recently, however, great
gains had been made and. today, it
was claimed that 1900 looms. more than
half the capacity of the mill, were be-
ing operated
Twice during the strike, May % and
June 8. there were serious outbreaks.
During the latter which was the most
serious of the two riots. nearly a dnzz-
en- persons We're shot by the police and
two SO badly wounded that they were
taken to the hospital. About 30 of the
strikers have been notified that their
services will not be required at the
mill. Others have left town and found
employment elsewhere. The remainder
viii return to work as fast as places
can be found for them.
