TWENTY CONDUCTORS HELD ON
CONSPIRACY CHARGES

Twenty conductors of the Chicago
& Joliet Electric Railway Co. were
arrested last night while getting
ready to attend the annual ball of
the employees of the company. They
are charged with conspiracy, grand
larceny and embezzlement amount
ing to thousand of dollars.
1t is said that several of the men
have made confessions. Other arrests
are expected. According to the infor-
nation now in the hands of the COM
pany, each conductor would supply
the others every morning with a
bundle of his transfers punched at
different hours of the day The con-
ductors would then turn in the trans
fers instead of cash.

avoid exposure.
Probably the public has suffered
nothing through the suppression of
these stories about prominent citi-
zens; and probably the public would
suffer none if similar stories about
poorer and less prominent citizens
were suppressed.
The principal resentment at the
suppression of such news concern
ing rich and prominent men grows
out of the fact that the average man
feels that rich families should not
enjoy special privileges as to unpleas-
ant publicity; for the families of un-
prominent citizens are just as sensi-
tive as those of prominent citizens,
yet there is less disposition both by
officials and the press to spare their
feelings and save them from disgrace
for which they are in no way respon-
sible.
Every day somebody's feelings are
hurt by newspaper publicity of the
misdeeds of some member of the
family; and the innocent usually suf-
fer the most punishment. It is quite
natural that such people should feel
resentment when privileged persons
with a powerful pull escape similar
punishment.
Newspapers will never be fair I'M
til they show exactly the same con-
sideration for the rights and the feel
ings of an ordinary individual or
family that they show for an individ-
ual or family that travels in our most
exclusive society.
Every individual, no matter what
his station in life, is entitled to
square deal an even break with any
of his brothers in the human family.
The family of the late Marshall
Field, Jr., is entitled to a square deal

a lie, then the best thing to do is to

JACK" JOHNSON "DoN'T KNOW

That Marshall Field, Jr., was Wis
hor at the Everleight Club was the
statement made to reporter for The
Day Book by "Jack" Johnson, ne
gro, formerly day porter at the re-
sort. .,r.-
Johnson seemed prepared for a
visit when the reporter called on him
and answered all questions warily.
He denied knowing anything of the
shooting of Field.
Il never heard of a shooting at the
club except once" said johnson.
''Then some man got noisy and fin
ally drew a gun and began to shoot
up the place. The Field affair was
talked about a great deal, but l knew
nothing of it. Mr. Field used to come
to the club, but l don't think he was
shot there. Anyway, didn't know
anything about it.

SO that for all time to come rumor
will be quieted. Unless this is done
the people of Chicago and the entire
country will believe the story Of Vera
Prosser, that Marshall Field, Jr., was
shot in the notorious Everleigh Club.
And they will believe that the story
was suppressed by the powerful in
f1uence Of the Field millions.

getaway from the Jail Thursday after
noon, and a good one, Notwithstanding
the fact that it was quickly reported.

arrested in Bridgton last April. After
their arrest they acknowledged having
broken into the Hill store in Brownfield,
also an unoccupied summer residence in
Cornish. They were bound over TO the

sitting out in this way, and Lawson re-
marked that there were strawberries and
raspberries over the wall. Liemap, who

Serious Error In South Paris
South Paris Citizens Will Do Well to
Profit by the Following.

Many fatal cases of kidney disease
have reached the incurable stage be-
cause the patient did not understand the
symptoms. Even today in South Paris
there are many residents making the
same serious error. They attribute their
mysterious aches and pains to overwork,
or worry, perhaps, when all the time
their rheumatic pains, backache and
bladder Irregularities are most probably
due to weak and ailipg kidneys. II you
are i'll, IL your kidneys are out OF order

perience.

They gave prompt relief"

State Assessors Meet Here.

The state assessors, Bertrand G. Nc
Intire of Waterford, E. NJ. Johnston OF
Brownville, and j. j. Dearborn of New
burg, arrived here Wednesday morning,
coming from Fryeburg, where they had
had a session on the preceding day.
Having no session on Wednesday, they
took an automobile and made trip
through Paris, Norway, Waterford, AL
bany, Bethel, Greenwood and Wood
stock. That they paid particular atten-
ton to many pieces of property on the
way, with view to the matter of prop
er assessment, was evident from the
numerous valuations OF pieces OF real
estate along the route which they looked
up at their session on Thursday. Mr..
McIntire being familiar with the terri
tory traversed was able to be of service
in pointing out and afterwards recalling
those things to which they wished es-
pecially to refer.
A session was held at the court house
Thursday, at which quite number OF
the local assessors of the county were
present with their valuation books for
inspection, aud matters of assessment
were gone into very thoroughly in an in
formal way.
The towns and assessors representing
them were: Bethel, Fred F. Bean
Greenwood, II. NJ. Swift; Hebron, Ar
thur E. George; Norway, George W.
Holmes, A. D. Frost; Oxford, o. F.
Bradford; Paris, c. W. Bowker, A. E.
Dean; Waterford, W. V. Kneeland, w.
W. Abbott; Woodstock, e.. A. Bacon;
Lincoln Plantation, Lewis Olson.
Formerly the state assessors, while 1t
was their business to fix the valuation OF
the towns for assessment of the state tax
were beyond that point, as concerned
their relation with the assessors of the
towns, hardly more than an advisory
body. Under the present law, however
they have much more power, and their
authority to investigate assessments and
correct Irregularities il they discover
them is ample. 1t is within their prov
iuce if they see fit to order an entire 70
valuation of the town. Appeals from
the local assessors to the courts in mat
tiers of valuation are also generally refer
red to them by the courts, and their re-
port, while not final, is accepted by thu
court.
From here the state assessors went tc
Rumford, where they had similar ses
sion on FRIDAY,

Reunion Of Blue.Eved Beans.

ALBANY, MAINE.
The Fourth Of July was great day
| for the blue-eyed Beans at the old home
in Albany, where Amos G.. Bean and
wife have held sway for more than forty
FIVE years. I will try to give names a
they arrived.
July LIST Bert r. Bean, oldest grandson,
arrived from Lewiston on bis wheel.
July Sd Rev. Insley A. Bean, youngest
brother of the host, arrived from Lewis
ton, accom- panied by his niece, Jennie A.
Bean, and two nepbews, Omer and
Arthur Bean, from Lewiston. Later
two teams returned from Bethel station
with Frank E. Bean and wife from Ok.
ford, Herbert 1. Bean and wife, Edna
and Adelaide Bean, their youngest
daughters, from Lewiston, Amos l..
Bean and wife, with Carroll, Everett
and Almar Bean, all of Lewiston; and
last but not LEAST, Perry A. Bean OF Las
Vegas, New Mexico, with his bride, Jen-
ME (nee Brown Bean from Orono,
Maine. Nina r. Bean had previously
arrived from Bartlett, N. a., where she
has a good position as teacher.
July Alb brought Fletcher |. Bean, a
brother of the host, and daughter
Marion, of Mason. also Alton b. Rich
ardson and sister Grace Brown, nephew
and niece of the host.
This included all but Perry 0. Bean
and family (who reside In the far West
and could not get here) Of the brothers
and their descendants living, and all OF
the children and grandchildren of the
host and hostess, also invited guests,
Birch and Blsnch Richardson.
The morning OF the 4th being fine
one for a ride, Iusley invited his oldest
brother and wife into the auto and took
them to Bethel station to meet his wife,
who had been unable to come before,
and came back in high time for dinner.
The tables had been set in the shade
OF the stately old elms in front of the
Bean house, where they were soon load
ed TO tthh eefr fullest capacity. and all had
an opportunity to show what they could
do at the table on Independence Day.
A rope swing had been suspended from
one of the old elms, and was in use most
of the day. The usual amount Of fire.
crackers and gunpowder was burned
during the day and evening, and in the
evening a quantity Of fireworks were
burned, which could be seen long dis
lance.
After the fireworks were over, the
bean hole, which had been in heating all
the afternoon, was prepared for the big
iron bean pot which had been prepared
by the hostess, and when the beans had
been put to bed and we'll covered with
hot embers and soil, they we're left to
prepare for breakfast.
The old home was so filled that some
took for the old camp tent, which was
soon filled with Beans. They all found
their way to the breakfast table, pre-
pared to test the quality of the beans
baked in the ground, which were unani-
mously pronounced great success.
In age the party ranged from seventy
years down to two. Too soon the cele-
bration was over, and all started for
their homes. In all probability we
shall never all meet together again on
earth. May God grant that we all meet
above.
