said IL abusive language had been used
BY the bosses to the laborers 1t was
without his knowledge. and he would
not allow them to Go it. In the future
the abused men were to come to TIE

ton.
Militiamen Available
Word was received early Monday
from Skowhegan that 20 men, mem
bers of. Company f, n. G. S. NJ,
would be available at short notice, I'M
der the direction of Captain Roy
Marston. Up to late hour Monday
no need of the militia had arisen. A
rather omnibus incident occurred
when the fire whistle blew AT four in
the afternoon, the regular two blasts
as is the daily custom, about the ISL
and practically every foreigner raised
his head and listened intently, but
resumed his previous occupation when
only two blasts We're sounded. The
eight blasts of the fire whistle would
be the signal for the summoning Of
the militia
No violent demonstrations took
place at any time Monday. and every
thing seemed quiet with the excep-
ton of one foreigner who, while on
Main street, Monday forenoon, -four
ished long knife rather more than
was thought necessary by many Of
the by-standers
Upon the decision by the strikers
to come some time before Tuesday
morning will depend all further ac-
ton, both on the part Of the mill Off
Gals and the strikers.

A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
Prominent Citizen Charged With
Triflino With a Widows Affections.

For some time, 1t is alleged, one OF
our prominent citizens has PAID more
or less attention to young and Deau-
tiful widow Of this city forgetting or
at least not needing the advice OF the
immortal Mr.. Weller to his son Samuel
to beware Of the vidders. he NJ"
claims that he was not serious IN NE
intentions and that he was not AT
tached to her, but however that may
have been the widow became attacheu
IN him. and as he seems to have iost
interest In the matter she has attacheo
bis property, which Is form OF at
tachment that he does not enjoy. Inc
result Is, that he finds himself the de-
PENDANT In a first -class breach OF prom
Use case and his questionable att'tuoe
towards the widow will be given an
airing In the near future.
The parties in the case are so prom
inent that it Is feared no court room
will hold the vast crowd desirous OF
attending the trial, so it will be held IN
CITY opera house on Wednesday even
ing, May S, under the auspices OF Fair-
field Sanatorium. for whose benent the
proceeds will be devoted. In other
words. it will be a mock court triai'
and it promises to be one OF the most
ENJOYABLE affairs Of many years. as
large number of our leading people
will participate in the proceedings.
The committee having the trial IN
charge have engaged Col A. V. New
ton. the well-known lawyer lecturer OF
Worcester, Mass, to attend to the de-
tails and personally conduct the enter
tainment. Col. Newton has had re-
markable success in conducting similar
entertainments and without doubt the
Breach Of Promise trial will be here as
elsewhere, an event long to be remem-
bered with pleasure.
Ono of the unique features of this
trial Is that the defendant Ia accused
OF habitually carrying concealed inten-
tions.
1t Is said that several other minor
cases will be heard before the big case
opens. A Main street storekeeper Is up
for selling undressed kids to minors
while certain lawyer has been under
observation for sometime because 1t
was reported that he Is overexerting
himself. He says it isn't SO. There
will be something doing all the time
until the verdict Is rendered.-Adv.

STRIKERS ARE QUIET
Continued From Page y

Up to the noon hour Monday no
strikers, although every vantage point
is being closely guarded by the sher-
ifs and the town officers. 1t has been
rumored that the disturbers are await
ing the coming Of a leader who will
upon arrival assume charge Of the
affair. A collection. it is understood,
was taken some time between Sunday
night and Monday morning among the
foreigners, and the amount raised will
be for the expenses Of the professional
leader. Upon his word will depend the
further actions of the crowd. and
things at the present time are at a
standstill, there being no concessions
made either by the pulp mill officials
or by the strikers.
Augusta Men Speakers
Upon the request Of the strikers,
James Boyle of Augusta, the we'll
known friend of labor, with Mr.. Hy-
ME of Augusta, spoke before the peo-
pie about $40 Monday afternoon in
front of the Steamer Engine hall Mr.
Hymie had received word that the
Polanders were in some trouble at
Fairfield and being interested secured
Mr.. Boyle as the legal adviser, think
ing this action might effect settlement
Upon arrival to the town the true state
of affairs was learned, and it was
found the trouble was OF such a ma
ture as to be dealt with differently. Mr.
Boyle and MIR. Hymie went to the Of
tce Of the United Paper Board Co.
and there conferred with Edward F.
Parker, general manager Of the Fair
field hill, and some of the other off,
Gals. In the statement of demands as
put forth by the strikers there were
three things that they asked for, and
which would enlighten the real cause
OF the strike to the people of the town.
The Causes Of Strike
First, the strikers claim that the
bosses abuse the men, and by way OF
making them work faster use abusive
language, the foreigners claim that
they can work much faster and do
better work If the language Is kinder.
Second, for some reason, which is at
the present time unexplainahle, some
uooy ID 6CttulB HOlu Oh the wages, ana
they do not come directly to the labor
ers, they desire the full control OF their
wages Third, in regard to the amount
OF the wages, the foreigners make the
plea that S1.25 day is not a living
wage for any man, and they want
$l.75 at least as wages.
Mr.. Parker's Statements
The foreigners wanted the two men
from Augusta to go to the Main street,
and tell the English people the real
cause Of the strike. to let them know
that they were justified in their actions.
Mr.. Parker. during the conference stated
that ne was unable to ill the demands
made. as they were in utter disregard
to the rules OF the company. He said
that the men could come back to work
under the same conditions. that 10 some
Of the men. about 50 or 90 receive t1.9s
per day. and the regular men $1.B per
day. He also said that the Fairfield mill
was and had been for some time running
on losing basis and It had been
Thought at times advisable to close the
mill down. - that N increase Of wages

Court Opens


Justice Andrews was a few minutes
late in opening the court and when pro-
ceeding commenced a stipulation be-
tween counsel was read into the record
to the effect that dispositions of four I'M
named Witnesses outside the State should
have the same effect as if the witnesses
appeared on the stand.
Colonel Roosevelt having taken the
witness chair, Mr.. WINS put into the
record letters that passed between Mr.
Barnes and Colonel Roosevelt and be-
tween the colonel and Herbert Parsons,
dated August p. 1908. In his letter Mr..
barnes discussed Governor Hughes. He
said that should Hughes be elected he
would set up a political machine and
that all politicians who opposed him
would have to "sneak in the back door
or get out of politics..
The reply Of Colonel Roosevelt, on the
stationary of the White House, but
written at Oyster Bay, was as follows:
My dear Mr.. Barnes: Yesterday
saw Sherman. Bennett, George Smith.

With another letter the colonel sent the
senator a proof of his message to the
legislature, which dealt with public util-
tiles. the franchise tax, the trusts, in
dustrial conditions and labor. The part
dealing with the trusts. the colonel
wrote, had been submitted to several
experts including Elihu Root, Pres-
dent Hadley of Yale, Prof. jerks of Cor
nell and James A. Dill. who was de-
scribed in the letter as "a big corpora
ton lawyer"
In the last letter read, which was
dated in 1901, Col. Roosevelt told the
senator that he did not want to be
Vice President of the United States
as it was not an office in which he
could do anything. The colonel said
he should like to be governor for an
other term. and that in spite of all
the work and worry and very largely
because of your constant courtesy and
consideration, my dear SENATOR have
thoroughly enjoyed being governor"
The Colonel added that not being a
money maker, he felt in honor bound
to leave his children the equivalent in
the way Of substantial sum OF ac-
tual achievement in politics or letters.
The colonel did little talking today.
For the most part he sat in the witness
chair and listened to counsel for Will
liam Barnes read the letters which, 1t
was said, were furnished by son of Mr..
Plat. When the colonel did talk it was
to identify the letters or answer ques-
tions concerning them.
The read Of additional correspondence
that passed between Colonel Roosevelt
and Mr.. Plat will begin when Col.
Roosevelt resumes the stand tomorrow

and perhaps more, OF the Zest, buoy
ancy and life Of previous years There
was but one thing to mar the occasion,
the memory Of the sad cause which

Music reigned. and in appropriate
surroundings. The new Elks' hall was
the gorgeous scene for a rendezvous
Of delight. The dance held sway. The
long order of dances lasted until the
wee hours and at no time with any
lag in it's enjoyment.
Records had before been made.
which memory associates with vari-

be said that on that same plane with
which these records lie, the numerals

coloners letters were also read to the
jury.
The witness identified all of the letters
and declared them to be authentic.
When the letters had been read. Mr.
WINS asked Col Roosevelt about Taft's
and Hughes plurality in New York. He
said Hughes was small.
"Who was present at the conference
in Oyster Bay mentioned in the CORE
spondence?"
AT the first Mr.. Parsons and Mr..
Barnes were there. At the second Mr.
Sherman, afterwards Vice President. was
present"
Col. Roosevelt said his favorng Gov
ernor Hughes was not due to any per-
scnal reasons. 1T was because l thought
the ,ecple wanted him." he added
'D.c you regard it as any evidence of
corruption that Messrs. Barnes. Hen
bricks and Parsons favored some other
man tLan Mr.. Hughes?"
II can't answer that collectively"
Later Col. Roosevelt answered in the
negative when asked specifically about
each of the men named.
Mr.. Twins then told Justice Andrews he
wished to put into evidence correspon-
dence that passed between Thomas c.
Piatt and Col. Roosevelt between 1928 and
ICES.
Col. Roosevelt identified copy of a
telegram dated Sept. II, 1898, sent to
Lemuel e. Quigg and signed by himself.
In it Col. Roosevelt told Mr.. Quigg that
he had substantially represented the true
condition of affairs to Senator Plat.
This telegram was sent by the colonel
after he had received the letter from
Mr.. Quigg which was put into the record
last week.
The attorneys for both sides looked
over the packet of letters Mr.. Twins had
produced. Counsel for Col. Roosevelt
asked that the letters be put off until this
afternoon. Mr.. Twins replied, however,
that If the letters were not put into the
record at that point the order in which
the cross-examination had been planned
could not be adhered to.
