to be one of the most enjoyable occa-
sions of the season of dances among the

that they had prof1ted much by their
instruction during the winter Although

folks in a manner that won for them
much applause At the conclusion of

JUDGE CONNOLLY

Portland, Me, June 1.-The grand

CATION of alleged graft charges In con-
nection with the contracts for the build
ing of the proposed new High school,
began its work this morning. and dur
ing the hour and a half in which 1t was
engaged up to the time of suspending
for the noon recess one witness had
been examined. He was on the stand
for the whole of the time and search
ing inquiry was conducted by County
Attorney Berman.
1t was 1915 when Jury Officer War
rem F. Chute escorted the members of
the grand jury to the court room and
to seats in the rear of the room. Depu-
ty Clerk of Courts Frank NJ. Libby Or
dered the proclamation for grand jurors,
after which members of the grand jury
responded to their names in the fol-
lowing order: Edward J. Allen, Free

Bucknam Baldwin; Fred r. Crockett.

]. Murphy of Bridgton and Preston W..
Rand of Standish were excused from
serving and Thomas E. Mclaughlin,
who was a member of the grand jury
at the September and January terms,
and who has since removed from the
State was also excused.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
Joseph E. F. Connolly took occasion to
urge the members to take up their
work of investigation in the broadcast
sense of citizenship, and to remember
that it is not a matter Of politics, nor
one where the grand Jury will punish
any particular man or any particular
party. He also called attention to the
importance Of any who may be guilty
presented by indictment, mot only
that they may be punished, but that
the other members who are now Ia
boring under the stigma may be ex-
onorated and face their constituents
in a proper light"
Judge Connolly took occasion to re-
fer to the present High school build
ing being closed on account Of blast
ing in the vicinity, making the pupils
nervous. Il rather think the blasting
made the commissioners and the city
government nervous. That, perhaps, is
as true as that the children are being
made nervous" he added.

HUGHES men JUBIL|ANT
ROOSEVELT men BLUE

! A Chicago special to the Portland
Express Advertiser says: The chief
tains of the Republican party and OF
the various Republican booms are all
here and the battle royal for the nom
ination at the convention next week
is on in earnest. The sentiment here
at tie present time seems to be all
against the favorite sons program. The
candidates are now al! here or all rep
resented and the Congress hotel is a
busy scene of activity for all the as
pirants. but only three names are
| heard as one passes among the gestlc :
ulating advance guard in the hotel
Corridors. These are Hughes, Root ana
Roosevelt.
! The Roosevelt men are blue, al
though this is not admitted at the Ho-
tel LaSalle, which is Progressive head
quarters, nor would George Won T..
! Meyer, chairman of the Roosevelt Re-
publican committee, who arrived yes
terday to guide the Republican end Of
the Roosevelt boom, admit it. 1t is
true, however, of the Republican sup
rorters of Roosevelt. One of them was
overheard last evening to declare that
he would not stay tor the convention,
and he admitted to a friend that t
was all off.
| His friend agreed that it was all off.
| and said he wouldn't stay either except
that it is matter Of business with
him. whatever he meant by that.
| The Hughes men are jubilant. They
claim to see where they can nominate
the justice on the third ballot. and ev-
nP IoIa CT nrtt np
their belief Half of the big New York
delegation is for Hughes, despite the
| candidacy of Elihu Root at the same
state. The Hughes men are claiming
| that they have the support of Senator
Winthrop Murray Crane Of Massachu-
sets and also of Senator Lodge OF
| Massachusetts. Doubt IS expressed
| however, as to their right to claim SEN
ator Lodge who is known to be a close
personal friend of Colonel Roosevelt.
Neither Senator Penrose of Pensyl-
vana nor William Barnes of New York
both old time leaders in Republican
politics, is here yet, but gossip has it
| that when they do come there will be
| some setback to the Hughes boom, but
! not enough to defeat him.
The fate of the boom for Justice
| Hughes is really in the hands of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. They say the colonel
can defeat the justice. not by a single
word but by two.
He must first assert that he is op-
posed to the justice and that he will
/ run as Progressive against him. But
/ it is said that even that would not be
enough to prevent the nomination of
( the justice. He must add to that that
he will support Elihu Root and do his
utmost to bring his following of four
years ago to the same ground. If he
should do that Hughes would be beat
en- and Root would be nominated.
! Whether he could bring that follow
ing into line for Root is a debatable
question, but the general belief is that
| he could.
| No doubt is entertained here that
Justice Hughes will accept if nominal
ed Some say Frank H. Hitchcock,
former chairman of the National COM
mittee and former postmaster gener-
al, has assurances to that effect. This
Mr.. Hitchcock denies, but adds that lie
believes Hughes will be noinated and
will accept the nomination.

It was learned Friday that the vickery
& Hill Co., which has for some time past
had under consideration the question Of
extensive changes in its publishing plant
on Chapel Court and Weston streets, in
cluded in which was the possible removal
from it's present site and the erection Of
a new building or buildings elsewhere
with a view to securing location ada
cent to the Maine Central Railroad, has
decided to remain where 1t is and enlarge
Its present plant.
To that end 1t is the decision Of tho
company to erect this summer an Office
building just east of the brick building
now standing at the corner Of Chapel and
Weston streets. on the lot on which
stands at present the house occupied by
George F. Andrews. This office building
will be of brick. about 40x60 on the ground
and one story in height. and while 1t will
not be part of the brick building now
standing 1t will be connected with It. The
new building will contain the offices Of
the company and the space thus made
vacant in the other building will be de-
voted to other purposes. In fact, the
company Is already putting in new ma
chinery.
1t is understood that the decision Of the
company to remain in its present location
was reached after a number Of possible
sites had been considered. all Of which
are adjacent to the Maine Central Rail-
road and among which were the Macom-
Hill-Wight block on lower Water
street. the stilkey stable lot and tho
Purinton woodshed lot just below the
Purinton buildings at the south end Of
Water street. a lot near the Swift & Co.
building at the north end of Water street
and lot on the east side Of the river ad-
jacent to the spur track Of the Maine Gen.
trail which leads to the Gannett publish
ing house.
1t is understood that the erection OF the
new brick Office building on Weston
street, work on which will be commenced
in the near future. will be carried out
with possible view to more extensive
improvements later on. which will be ne
cessitated by the company's large ana
constantly increasing business.

Contest
Railroad
Demands
All Points Submitted by EN-
ployes Meet with OPP
position

New York, June EVERY point in
the demand made by the four leading
ORGANIZATIONS of railroad employees
upon virtually all the rail lines of the
United States for a basic eight-hour
work day has been sharply contested,
il became apparent here today at the
second conference between the 10 Of
fiCials representing tn roads and the
delegates of the labor organizations.
A spokesman for his associates. A.
B. Garretson, president of the Order
Of Railroad Conductors, read into the
record the formal request for an eight
hour day and the supplementary de-
mands Of the men.
As each clause was read Elisha Lee,
chairman OF the railroads committee
and his associates, asked questions
designed to bring out its exact mean
ing There were several sharp dis
putes IS to present working conditions.
The employees made it clear that in
their demands for an eighthour day
uey would not submit 10 any IeuuC-
ton in the present wage scale for nine.
10 or more hours.
Il also was said the men were not
anxious for overtime. One of the Ia
Dor delegates asserted that they would
be we'll satisfied with eight hours
work in every "a.
One Of the most difficult points to
settle, apparently, will be the eight
hour day as it applies to train orders.
Freight traffic only is involved, with
time 10 be based on length Of run and
mileage per hour.
Mr. Garretson, in his explanation of
the clause affecting trainmen, said
that under the proposed system, they
would get - cents per hour for over
time instead of 40 cents as at present.
