ESTATE AT
BATHTODAY

Bath, Me-. May 2S.-tSpeciaD.-A
socjate Justice Albert NJ. Spear will
come to this city tomorrow to render
his decision in the now somewhat sem
sational case Of Spear VS.. Spear, in
which Erminee B. Spear of Boston,
claiming to be the wife of the late
Mayer D. Howard Spear of Bath, pc
titions for an allowance from the es-
tate.
The petition has been vigorously op-
posed by Mr.. Spears only sister, Mrs.
Myra Spear Dean of Dorchester. Mass,
ADMINISTRATIVE of the estate.
1t was first heard before Judge
James S. Lowell of the probate court
a year ago and the petition dismissed
and was taken on appeal to the su-
preme court of probate. Justice Spear

in the month and on the 10Th reserved

Mrs. Dean opposes the petition on
the ground that her brother and the
petitioner were never legally married.

for the establishment of a. commission
government to be composed of pro-
visional President and four cabinet

pointed out that the first thing for
the mediators to determine upon is the
disposition of the Mexico City govern

arise which would involve future ne
gotiations with the Constituencies

Thomaston, Me-, May 2S.-(SpeciaD.
Three TRUSTEES at the Maine State
prison escaped about 4.30 this after
noos from a potato field outside the
buildings.
The men in whom Warden Ham had
put good deal of trust, had been al
lowed many liberties, and were de-
pended on by the warden for many
minor duties outside the prison.
All were short term men, two serv-
ing sentences for larceny and the 9TH
err for assault. The terms would have
been up in the fall or last of the sum-
mer.
Warden Ham has offered SIS re-
ward for the detention of the men
and the return to him. They are: Har-
ry Brandt, height about feet, inch
es sandy mustache and somewhat
bald; Peter Baker, alias Peter Blair,
height feet, 1-2 inches, dark COM
plected with little dark mustache;
George St. Peter, height feet, inch
es, with smooth face. ST. Peters home
is in Fairfield. Both St. Peter and Ba-
ker are subject to bad fits.
The men while working in the field
disappeared into the woods, going in
the direction of Union and Warren.
Prison guards are watching the
bridges and all outlets to the town
and hope to head off the escaped pris-
oners.

DEMOCRATS HOLD
STATE CONVENTION
AT NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Nashville, Tenn, May 2s.-The plat
form adopted by the Democratic state
convention early today, declares
against the repeal of any of the pro-
hibition laws now in force, pledges the
party to their maintenance, and en-
actment of any additional legislation
necessary to secure their rigid en-
forcement. Other planks included
legalized primary law and workman's
compensation and a law designed to
prevent members of the Legislature
leaving the state in order to prevent
vote on measure during sessions
of the General Assembly. The conven-
ton program for today calls for the
nomination of a candidate for COVER

Upon the ninth ballot Thomas C.
Rye, attorney general for the 18th jul

THE PROGRESSIVE
PARTY PROGRAM
IN FALL CAMPAIGN
Will Favor Amalgamation in New
York and Several Other States==GrOund
OF Conference at Washington

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 28.-The
program of the Progressive party In
the campaign this fall, as outlined thus
far, is understood to be as follows
mo amalgamation with the Re-
publican party as such.
Fusion tickets in cases in which
candidates who accept the policies of
the Progressive party are nominated,
where the naming of two candidates
of this description would split the lib
eral vote.
Subsistence on policies rather than
party names, and endeavor to consol-
idate in every state the voters who
approve of the principles of the Pro-
gressive party.
4-In New York State the probable
endorsement of the Republican candi-g
date for Governor, provided he is
man personally acceptable to the Pro-
gressives and is willing to approve
their plan unequivocaily.
While Col. Roosevelt declined to
commit himself publicly tonight to
this program, it was learned from an
excellent source that the Progressive
leaders had virtually decided to adopt
tentatively the foregoing plan of ac
ton.
Colonel Roosevelt tonight met five
New York state Progressives. They
are T. Douglas Robinson, Francis w.
Bird, Chauncey Hamlin, former Sem
ator Frederick M. Daveport, and Judge
William L. Ransom. The New York
state situation was gone over. 1t was
pointed out to Col. Roosevelt that in
o Il to-
the party could hardly hope to poll
as many votes as in 1912, when the COL
onel headed the ticket Moreover, 1t
was said that if the Republican party
should nominate a man of the type
of which the Progressives approved
they would gain nothing by putting a
ticket in the field.
In this connection the name of For
mer Senator Harvey D. Human.
known as stauneh Hughes man, was
brought up as a possible candidate
who, if named by the Republicans,
might be endorsed by the Progressives.
The situation in New York, 1t is
understood, is typical of what may be
done in other states. In each case 1t
MS planned to lay the emphasis on
candidates and policies rather than on
party labels. The efforts of the party
are to be directed toward putting into
power in as many states as possible
men VINO favor the platform of the
party and whether they are Progress
sives or members of another party
will be a secondary consideration.
This, it is learned, was in part the
ground gone over at the Washington
conference Tuesday. Before Col
Roosevelt's return to this country
from South America, two plans were
talked of-amalgamation with the Re-
publican party or an uncompromising
fight with a straight Progressive tick
ct in every state. Col Roosevelt is
believed to have opposed both sug-
gestions and to have carried his point
There was little doubt tonight that
the Progressive party would remain in
the field as a political entity. 1t was
equally probable that where circum-
stances favored, distinct Progress
sive ticket would not necessarily be
named.

JUDGE SIGNS THE
EXCEPTIONS MOTION
IN FRANK CASE

Atlanta, Ca, May 2s.-The bill of
exceptions in support of the extra
ordinary motion for new trial for
Leo NJ. Frank, under sentence of death
for the murder of Mary Phagan,
factory girl, was signed here today by
Judge Ben H. Hill of the Fulton
county superior court and forwarded
to the state supreme court. The SUI
preme court will assign date for ar
gument.
On request of Solicitor General Hugh
NJ. Dorsey, Judge Hill today passed
the hearing on the motion to set aside
the verdict against Frank until June
5. The defence in support of the mo-
ton contends that Franks constitu-
tional rights were violated when the
verdict which pronounced him guilty
of the factory girls murder was re-
turned during his absence from the
courtroom.

Essentials of Final Plan

Information obtainable, reflected the
news from the Canadian border city
that essentials of a Mexican pacifica-
ton plan had been agreed upon by
representatives of Gen. Huerta and
the United States and that some sub
jects still were under consideration
before a protocol actually could be
drafted. So confident of ultimate peace
were some government officials that
the reported landing of ammunition
for Huerta from German ships at
Puerto Mexico caused them no I'M
easiness. Officials generally admit that
