New Athletic Building.

G, s: Pringle, representing the
Commonwealth life Insurance
Company, of Omaha. Nebraska,
was in the city few days ago
and made a proposition to the
Butler Athletic Association
whereby they may secure a build
ing for a gymnasium and athletic
hall. The proposition is that if
they can sell $15O,OOO.OO of msur-
ance in this vicinity they will ex-
pend $500 of the premiums in
advertising and they are of the
opinion that one of the best
methods of advertising will be to
erect a building for the benefit of
the club. II. s. Wyatt, president,
and the various officers of the
club, have taken the matter under
advisement.

BIG RAILROAD STRIKE
PROBABLE
Employees May Call Strike Unless
Roads Accede to Their De-
mands.

Alliance, O., March 12.-Three
hundred engineers, firemen, con-
ductors and trainmen on the ALI
ance division of the New York
Central railway today ordered to
report "after noon Thursday" at
the Ohio building here for orders
concerning the strike situation.
It is learned from al authorita-
tive source that orders will be to
quit work Saturday night at 3
o'clock unless the conference In
New York between the brother
hood and the railroads succeeds
or unless the supreme court up
holds the Adamson eight-hour law.
Washington, March 12.-Talk
Of railroad strike was general
among labor union officials from
the southwest gathered here to-
night, but national officers OF the
four brotherhoods declined to CON
firm or deny that definite strike
plans were under consideration.
The local leaders come for a
conference tomorrow preliminary
to the meeting Of brotherhood and
railway officials to be held IN
New York Thursday. Sectional
conferences will be held in other
cities and the brotherhood heads
insist that they canot forecast
their course until the locals from
all parts Of the country report the
result of their deliberations.
There were distinct indications
however that there might ht
more truth in strike reports than
appeared on the surface. An i'm
preston prevalent among some
local officials was that genera
walkout probably would follow
quickly if the roads refused to ac
cede to the union demands al
Thursday s conference. Saturda,
was the day most persistently
mentioned as likely to see a climax
of the long controversy rbet~ccr
the roads and their men.

ance' were brought up and dis
cussed.
Some time ago a joint commit
tee from tile club and the Butler

ing and Domestic Science. This
committee had gone into thermal
ter very thoroughly and secured

science, install inside closets and
seats at the north and east
schools, make the necessary re-
pairs on the West school building,
install blackboards at the colored

--ef a bend issue to care for these
improvements, and on motion the
president was empowered to ap-
point a committee Of five to have

THREE YOUTHS ARE
GUILTY OF BREAKS

The series of breaks which have
been bothering the police for the past
two weeks were cleared up Saturday
when Patrolman Frost brought into
the station three youths. Wilfred and
Albert Roderique and Henry Gaboury,
all of Winslow. He discovered the two
Roderique boys in the storehouSe back
OF the Vein store at about 10 O'clock
Saturday morning where they were
picking over waste and had laid out
some boards which they apparently
planned to take home. He asked them
who they were and where they lived
and they said in Wi1slow and he told
them to get for Winslow. as there was
nothing in the old storehouse of value
and he did not suspect them of the
other breaks on account of their small
size. He followed along to see if they
went home and found them again in
back of the Masonic block looking over
some stuff in there. He then took them
before the marshal and after some
questioning they admitted that they
had made some of the breaks about
here and implicated the Gaboury boy.
He was brought in after dinner and
the three OF them questioned in good
shape and it was found that they had,
according to the police, made series
'of breaks, some of which had not been
reported to the marshal and which he
knew about for the first time when
they told him of il. According to the
officers they started out on Sunday,
Dec. "a, and the first place they visited
was the old store of the Steward &
Marston Co. Here they did not find
anything and they left that and went
into the Atlantic & Pacific tea store.
Eere they did not take much but they
next visited the store of Frank Kirsh-
ner, where they took a Salvation Army
mite box which contained $1.10 and al
so a cheap watch. From there they
went into Merchants court and find
ing an old lock on the storehouse of
Green Brothers they were able to pry
lit off and enter the storehouse where
they filled their pockets with candy
and also took some mechanical toys.
The City Job Print in the Savings
Bank building received their attentions
next and here they took watch and
some other stuff of very little value.
On their way home they visited the
Waterville Dye house but took moth
ing of value there. On Sunday, Jan. l.,
they visited the Pomerleau grocery
store and got little of value there.
AS soon as their parents could be no.
titled Saturday afternoon they were
brought before the judge and were
placed in the custody of their parents
until 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, the
judge instructing the parents not to
tallow them to leave the house until
they were started for court and to pro-
duce them in court at that time. Pro-
baton Officer Foster of Winthrop was
notified and is expected to be in the
city Monday afternoon for the hearing.
With the arrest of these boys every
break that has occurred in the city
during the past year with the eXcep-
ton of the Miller break has been
cleared up.

string of relatives, and of people whose
places had been visited. Before their

couple of hours it was a busy time for
the sheriffS, the police and the men I'M
der indictment. at first it was expect-
ed that all of them would have to so
to Augusta and there was some great
hustling to get bondsmen and to get
them lined up and ready to take the
train. Later it was decided that they
could give bail before a bail commits
sioner in this city and former police
judge, Frank Shaw, bail commissioner,
was called in and bail was offered and
accepted in Is of the II cases which
were returned here. One man went to
Augusta and gave bail there and one
man was unable TO get bail. 1t was
rather an anxious faced crowd that was
about the building for there was q great
deal of wondering as to what was COM
ing next. While the excitement regard
ing these men was at its height the
college boy was brought in and he had
a long list of followers, SO that the COR

had to drive his fires every minute to
