BAY STATE PROBING
 BREAD LOAF WEIGHT

Boston, Sept 21-Thure Hansen, state commissioner of weights and measures. who today called on all local officials of his department to pursue an inquiry into the bread making industry in this state, an- nounced that he had also asked S. w. Stratton. federal director of the bu- reau of standards at Washington to call meeting of officials throughout the country for discussion of the sub- 5ect and to determine on a uniform law for standard loaf. Recent changes in the size and prices of bread in this state tending to reduce the quantity sold for a given price, was the occasion for CommissiDnAr Hanson's 'ssoEivity, he stated. The expediency of asking Master Bakers and flour producers to take part in a conference to be held under federal auspices, was suggested to Director Stratton, Se said, as a means of pos sfble agreement on fair and uni form price.

RECEIVERS FOR PROPERTIES OP
 JOS. H0ADLEy
Justice COhaIan Says Muni- lions Directors Made
 Illegal Transfer.

Two more blows were dealt Joseph H. Hoadley by the courts yesterday one concerning his transaction with the American & British Manufactur- ing Co. just before he was busted from control. and the other relating to an old judgment In each instance a re- ceiver was appointed.
 Justice Cohalan, in the Supreme court issued a restraining order pre- venting MT. Hoadley, the Cramp-Hoad- ley Co.,, George E. Bouchie, William E White and Edward w. Bleasdale, for merlv directors of the American British Co.,, a munitions concern, from disposing of about s50O,0oO in cash notes, bonds and other assets which turned over to MT. Hoadley on Angus, ?, an hour before the new board oi directors assumed control.
 In addition to obtaining half mil lion dollars from the munitions com pany, the complaint alleges that MT Hoadley obtained about $1,500,OOC from the International Power Co.,, the receiver of which holds majority in- terest in the munitions concern.
 Justice Cohalan stated that the acts of the old directors seem to have been founded on a desire to safe guard the affairs of the corporation ' and that there is justification in the claim that these directors, selvshly and without regard 70 the welfare ot the corporation, took advantage of their positions and illegally transfer red and appropriated valuable assets of the company"
 Edward s. Murphy was appoiAted receiver, and the court ordered MT. Hoadley and the other defendants to turn over all the cash and securities in question to him pending the trial of the issues involved.
 Later in the day Justice Tierney, also of the Supreme court, adJudged Mir. Hoadley to be in contempt for failing to comply with the orders of the court concerning judgment for $13,557 obtained by Richardson. Hill & Co.,, and appointed Joseph R. Trues, dale a referee to assess the amount of damages suffered by the plaintiff. Thomas J. Higgins was appointed re- ceiver for any tangible Hoadley assets in that case.

 May Ask City For
 Another Automobile

Another automobile for the use of the health department may be asked by the commissioners as soon as they meet after their trip of inspection in other cities. It probably will be con- tended that the inspector who will be
 saged in taking samples of milk from grocery stores and markets can- not get along in his work without one.
 A metal-lined case capable of carry ing "A bottles of milk has been made for the health department and it will be used by the inspector in collecting specimens for bacteriological examina- tion.
 The health commissioners were ex- pected back from New York today. Dr. Abraham Sophian telephoned to this city and asked concerning devel- opments in the epidemic. He said the board would complete it's tour of in spect on today.

 The attention given by the government to such problems these is of the most hopeful signs times It presages the abandonment by bookmen of those of political which out of the experience European tries and which have been applied the formulation mic theories in this country
 The great fact in Europe, controlling economies is the dense population resting upon the land But the great this country the plentiful supply sparsey populated land
 This elemental difference accounts different mode of thinking about certain problems between Europe.
 Since the United States there no pressure upon the land there is land hunger and spirit conquest not only colonies positive antagonsm to the ac qurement of colonies.
 But in European countries population instead of being 30 to me is hundreds to the area hunger sharp and the aspiration for colonies general
 For the Europe desperately concerned in obtaining foreign trade Since land and Is necessary to exchange other products for food
 The United States having millions of of unoccupied partially cultivated land usually increase the market by intensifyng population.

The report OF the Progressive confer
rees Of the joint conference was as
follows:
your committee appointed pursuant
to the resolution adopted at yesterdays
session met in conference with the
committee representing the national
Republican convention last evening.
The committee of conference represent
ing the Republican National Conven-
ton consisted of Messrs. Reed Smoot,
w. Murray Crane, William +. Borah,
Nicholas Murray Butler and \. Z.
Johnson.
THE conference was most friendly.
Immediately upon assembling your
committee proposed as the joint nomi-
nee OF both conventions the name OF
Theodore Roosevelt.
THE committee representing the
Republican National Convention did
not present the name of any candidate,
nor did it attempt 10 refute our argu-
ments relating 70 the unique available
ity OF Theodore Roosevelt as candi-
date to unite both parties or TO serve
our common country at this crucial
period in the history OF the world.
After several hours of friendly dis
cussion. during which no concrete
proposition was advanced by the Re-
publican conferrees, except that fur
Their conference might be desirable
this afternoon or evening, the joint
committee adjourned.

Willis Nom'nates Burton.
Arkansas yielded TO Ohio, to permit
Governor Willis TO nominate Senator
Burton. lie was in many respects the
most entertaining speaker OF the day,
For one thing, he possessed a voice
which only deaf person, seated in Tho
last row Of the rear gallery, could
have failed to hear. Also he possessed
excellent self possession.
"Ohio is the mother OF presidents,
Governor Willis announced, "and we're
going to name another. so I'll christen
this animal here" He picked up the
elephant which had been paraded
around by Names delegation. and
pinned a Burton badge on it. Then
he went on to tell Of the need for re-
uniting the party and Senator Bur
tons ability to do it. He attacked the
Democratic foreign policy bitterly.
We've coddlcd every cheap bandit
in Mexico" said he, "snd furnished
ammunition which is coming back to
US in the mangled bodies OF our sons.
The weakness of the Administration IS
our trouble. The Republican party be-
preserve peace than TO spend blood in
time Of war to regain peace"
Urges Tariff Reform.
He declared the financial condition
Of the country was due to prosperity
based on the bleeding bodies of men
and women in Europe There would
be no real prosperity, he insisted,
until the enactment Of a Good real
Mckinley protective tariff"
Connecticut yielded TO Massachusetts,
to permit Senator Lodge to nominate
Senator Weeks. He was sure his can
didate would stand for American poll
cies and American interests. and would
be an American through and through,
so that he would represent the con-
science and soul of the American peo-
Pile"
Representative Thomas W. Miller, OF
Delaware. in nominating j. Coleman du
Pont. took issue with the paclfsts.
"Thev say he smells of powder de-
clared the speaker. well, II he does,
it's the same odor the British smelled
at the battle Of Lake Erie in 1872, for
some OF the powder used 70 defeat
them there came from the State Of
Delaware"
Ex-Representatiye y. +. Kendall, Of
Iowa, nominated Senator Cummins, in
sisting that "of all good things Iowa
has the best"
