There are men who always seem to
have some kind of a surprise up their
sleeve. With some the surprise sprung
is never welcome and always dreaded
With others it is the reverse and they
may be depended upon to have some
thing of a pleasant nature to turn
loose on the public. Such man is
r. 2. Hazard. He must have been
busy the past few months guarantee
ing to the committee on the new high
school building that the funds for this
and that thing that should be installed
or built in but for which no appropria-
ton had been made and hence no
funds were available. would be raised
on time even if he had to foot the
bill himself.
Now comes his latest surprise, and,
as usual, the surprise is pleasant. He
has presented the city with a fine new
steam roller. not of political variety
but the kind that is used in the max
ing of good roads. The maybasket
containing the roller is expected to
arrive within a week Or 10 days.
Mr.. Hazards gift will be thorough
ly appreciated by all.

LIQUIDS Counsel
Secures POstpOnement
of Case at Cambridge

Cambridge, Mass, May 11.-Mo-
tion to quash the indictment against
Clarence w. Loud, the Melrose sales
man, awaiting trial on charges Of
killing Policeman James f. Preston
at Wakefield early last month, was
filed in the Superior Criminal court
here late today. In. consequence the
arraignment of Loud, scheduled for
tomorrow was postponed indefinitely.
Counsel for Loud made the motion
on technical grounds, alleging that
legal verbiage in the indictment was
incorrect and that there was not fully
set forth any crime known to law.
The motion was filed to plea in
abatement alleging that the indict-
nent did not specify first or second
degree murder and that the district
attorney made illegal statements be-
fore the grand jury. Permission to
examine witnesses and exhibits in the
states case against Loud to inspect
the grand jury's minutes also was
asked.

New York. May 11.-Rev DR.. Will
liam r Manning, rector of historic
Trinity church, today was consecrated
10th bishop of the Protestant Episco-
pal diocese of New York and today
outlined his stand as successor to the
late Bishop Charles Sumner Burch.
In the morning before an assem-

ton with a colorful ceremony in the
cathedral of St. John the Divine, and
late today at the 136th annual conven-

cred his first address on assuming the

Il believe that the Christian church
is now confronted with the greatest
opportunity in all it's history" said

opportunity greater than in the liocese
of New York"
Outlining the church's attitude to-
