turnstile door at the corner, midway be-
tween the two present doors; also the

ELLSWORTH REUNION.
EIGHTH ANNUAL A GREAT BIG
SUCCESS.
urrNDREps OF OLD FACES MANY
NEW ONES - NO LET-UP In THE
ENTHUSIASM.

BOSTON, APRIL, especially Weather con.
Si,ions were favorable last Friday even.
;,o. and the eighth annual Ellsworth re-
union in Paul Revere hall came within
nine of reaching the high record for at
tendance. There were 5as persons pres
emit. and there is no doubt that the occa-
sion was most happy one.
MANY were there who had never at
tended one OF these delightful meetings
If Hancock county citizens or former citi-
zens and their relatives and friends, and
n ia the sight of unfamiliar faces and the
sound OF voices long unheard which pro
vide the reunions with their greatest
source of pleasure.
For those who cared to dance there was
most excellent music by Poole's orchest ra
which gave a concert in the ballroom
from s to Q, and refreshments were served
in the hall and the dining-room adioin-
ing. There were no speeches and no sing
ing - and this in spite of the fact that
Deasy, of Bar Harbor, Hancock county's
brilliant before-at- or after dinner speak
or was there; and also were Mabel Mona
CHAN Swan and Allie circuit.
To read about these reunions one might
think that they are very quiet affairs.
They are not. They are, in fact, noisy.
A small orchestra would be buried in the
buzz OF conversation.
"Reunioning" began this year at 8 AS,
when Floor Director Howard III. Adams
arrived on the scene aud got acquainted
with the first arrivals, w. NJ. Doyle, of
Hyde Park, and Il. l.. Fullerton. OF Read
ing. From that time until 10 O'Clock
there VAS a steady procession of new
arrivals.
Ate Mr.. and Mrs. William P. Clougb
led the grand march, as they have done at
nearly every reunion, and the floor was
soon gay with dancers. Mr.. Adams aids
were Mrs. Charles T.. Billiard, Mrs. l.y-
man l.. Lord, Miss Marion l.. Bartlett,
Mrs Morey Trip, Miss Ella F. Jordan
and Messrs. Lyman l.. Lord, E. E. Red
man, Walter l.. Smith, Oliver l.. Anderson
and Herbert Foster. They succeeded in
getting +. s. Lord to dance, but failed to
induce l.. b. Deasy, of Bar Harbor, to
venture out upon the slippery surface.
The dancing went on until about mid
night. The order follows. Ii was notice.
able that the quadrilles received hearty
encores.

Peters to Testify Today

Montgomery. March 21.-G. F. Peters,
president of the Braddocl Town Improve
ment company of Birmingham will be
placed on the stand tomorrow morning
by the investigating committee of the
state convict department. In addition to
Mr. Peters, it is probable that one other
witness will go on the stand after which
the hearing will be adjourned until Mon
day.
1t is more than probable that examin-
ers will try to secure from Mr.. Peters
more information concerning the pur-
chase by James Oakley of certain
property near Montevallo on which
Oakley made payment of $1,000 In a con-
tract drawn on the Merchants and Plant
ers bank at Montevallo. This property
according to testimony adduced this af-
ternoon, was purchased by Oakley from
the Braddocl1 Town and Improvement
company.
The investigation on next Monday will
consist mainly of an examination OF
the. lumber mills and camps at which
the state had convicts employed. Off
cials OF the lumber camps at Riverfalls.
Sanford, Local and at other places will
be examined Officials of the various
turpentine camps at which convicts are
employed will also be put on the stand
next week.

SCALES At BANNER
ARE NOW ALL RIGHT
TOnvicts Preferred to Have
Them Short Rather Than
Clean Slate From Coal
by HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, March 21.--(Special.)--
There is a merry little tilt in progress
between representatives of the state con-
cerning the condition of the scales in
Banner mine, merry because both men.
H. Y. Brooke, examiner of public ac-
counts, and c. H. Nesbltt, chief mine in
spector, are correct, and additionally
merry on account of the fact that in case
the scales are or have been out of gear
that condition is possibly due to an ar
rangement between representatives of the
state and the convicts, and not to any
negligence or desire to deceive on the
part of the owners of Banner mine.
Mr.. Brooke reported some time ago that
the scales in Banner mine were found to
be 20 per cent under correct weight.
Eleven days later, Mr.. Nesbitt reported
that the scales were in good condition. The
difference of the reports is due to the
fact that they were made at different
times. that of Mr.. Brooke on February .
and that of Mr.. Nesbitt on March s. Mr..
Brooke found the scales out of gear and
ordered them rectified. Mr.. Nesbitt in
spected March and they were in good
condition.
The Pratt Consolidated company pays
the state for clean coal placed upon the
car. The company, therefore, is not inter-
ested in the condition of the scales in the
mines. 1t is generally understood that
the convicts prefer that they be docked
SO many pounds III a ton of coal on ac-
count of the presence therein of slate,
rather than be subjected to the unpleas-
ant task of cleaning the coal after they
have dug it from the earth. The correc-
tion of the scales and the order that they
be molested never again has eliminated
the docking system and put into effect
again the cleaning system. The prediction
is that as result the punishment record
will increase at1Banner mine.

CHECK MYSTERY
:. STILL UNEXPLAINED

Paris, March 21.--The mystery of the
check for 100000 marks drawn by
a Berlin bank on the Bank of Italy at
Rome, which was found last night on
the Nord Express in a satchel, which
also contained a passport bearing the
name Of Commander Arizzo Rossi, still
remains unsolved despite the efforts of
the police to locate its owner.
The Italian embassy says it is un-
able to explain the mystery. 1t was de-
clared there today that Commander
Rossi could have no motive in passing
through Paris to go from Berlin to
Rome. It was also said that the en-
bassy had no knowledge of Command
er Rossi being on a special mission.
