CHARLEsTOwN. w. Va,
May 1s.--With the states ease
brought to a close It appear TO
be a 100 TO ! bet there will be
no conviction on the murder and
treason indictments against
West Virginia miners ON trial
here.
Opinion is general that william
Blizzard, mine leader whom the
state elected to try first, Will either
be acquitted or there will be a
hung" jury.
The West Virginia state constabu-
larry has done more than any other
factor to crystallize sentiment for
the miners.
II has been tine contention OF
the defense from tho beginning
that there would have been no
armed march upon Logan and
Mingo counties, last summer, II
the operators gun-men, paid
deputies and members Of the
state consta abuiary had not
driven union miners to despera
tIon by their mistreatment OF
them In tho shape Of personal
assaults and the abridgment OF
rights Of free speech and free
assenbIage.
The detachment OF state consta-
bies sent 20 Charlestown for the
trials proceeded at once TO conduct
themselves according TO their Logan
and Mingo county customs. They
clsshed with the local police and
claimed authority over them; they
treated the local citizens with AFRO
gance and contempt; and on one
occasion they rushed upon the base

FROM PRETpS PORTLAND COLTS
AT maine SCHOOL MEET TODAY
Especial to Kennebec Journal

Hebron, Me-, Nay 19-Fourteen
men left with Coach Francis this
morning for the Maine Interscholas-
tic Track meet at Orono.
This years meet promises to be
one of the closest in years. Deering,
who came third in the 30 Muoin In
door meet has a small but we'll bal
anced team and looms pretty strong.
However. the big dark horse on Sat-
urday will be Portland High. AS
demonstrated in the dual meet with
! Hebron, Coach Frank Pretti has de-
developed some pretty fast material,
especially in the Harris brothers. AS
it now looks, the honors might be
pretty evenly distributed between the
Portland schools and the Hebron run
ners.
One of the closest battles should
be the fight for first honors between
the Giant Jackson of Deering High
and Jack Prince, Hebron's sturdy
blond haired captain in the shot put.
Jackson was heaving the iron around
IS feet in the recent New Hampshire
meet, while Prince has been Going a
little less than that. The big green
team feels somewhat strengthened
by the addition of Clyde Getchell.

at the committee NEE ing in Port

BOWDO|N SURPRISE OF FIRST
DAY At new ENGLAND GAMES;
ALL maine COLLEGES QUALIFY
BOWDOIN SURPRISES

Bowdoin College was one of the big
surprises Of the first day at the an
nual New England track meet which
opened yesterday at Worcester.
Placing men in every event in which
she had entries. with the exception
of the shot put, the Brunswick COL
legians lacked but one place of tying
Brown and Williams for third honors
as to number of men qualified.
Each of the four Maine colleges
placed one or more representatives
in the f st days trials. Bowdoin led
the list with of her squad qualify
ing. Maine was second with 4 men;
Bates third with three, and Colby
placed but one.
Bowdoin's strength in the opener
gives her good chance for a fourth
at least today, and she may give
some Of the larger colleges a very
close rub for second or third honors.
Tootsell, despite his injured foot,
took the hammer throw trials with
a heave Of 146 feet, 1-2 inches. which
virtually insures 5 points for the
White today. Capt. Ted Hunt, rum
ming against heavy wind, covered
the SS0-yard run in Minis, seconds,
tying for first honors with Kirley of
Boston college. Francis Bishop, who
has not entirely recovered from his
sprained ankle. held his own with the
rest of the field, tying at 10 feet, 10
inches in the pole vault.
Other Bowdoin men to qualify in
clude Hardy in both hurdle events:
Butler, in the 100-yard and 200-yard
dashes; G. Mason in the hammer
and Charles in the discus.
Lawrence in $40 for Maine
The University of Maine qualified
E. S. Lawrence of Gardiner in the
440-yard dash. Lawrence took the
event at the Maine meet last week
after a pretty race and will be a
strong contender for position today.
Kneeland came through in the $50
yard run; Cohen qualified in the shot
put, and Strout placed in the ham
mer.
Luce in Discus Throw
Bates strength lies in the distance
runs, for which there were no trials,
but three wearers of the Garnet
came through in the opener. Luce
did the expected by figuring in the
discus: Landers, the little colored
Splinter, qualified in the 10O-yar
dash, and Archibald placed in the
4i0.
Kemp uaIifies for Colby
The only Colby man to qualify in
the opening day was Captain Chiffon
l.. Kemp, who tied for place in the
pole vault finals this afternoon. His
height in trials was 10 feet, 10 in
ches.

HIGGINS TODAY
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Especial to kennebec JournaD.
Waterville, May 20.-The Coburn
nine will meet Higgins this after
noon on Seavern's field. This is the
second game between these teams,
Coburn won the first game in
Charleston through the pitching of
Brown who famed twenty-one men
and kept the homo team scoreless.
Higgins played pretty good ball and
kept the visitors down to six runs.
The Coburn team is seriously
handicapped by the illness of Captain
Shanahan who has been the varsity
backstop in every game this season.
Shanahan will be unable to play to-
morrow but will probably get into the
games next week.
Peters is a good substitute for
Shanahan but he has been playing
in the field all this season and is out
Of practice with the big mitt. The
Coburn lineup in batting order will
be Kilbride. short stop: Goldberg.

Cony High takes the field at Capitol

against Waterville High. The local
boys won the first game at Waterville
by a score of to with Rideout in
the box, and will try their best to re-
peat their win today.
Three of Cony's strongest PLAYERS
will not be available for the contest
this Observation-Disclosures. Brennan
and Ellis being situated so they can
not compete. Rideout will strive to
add another win to the eight victories
already chalked up. Dickie is a cool,
steady twirler and capable of taking
care of himself creditably against any
high school team in the State. His
work has been overshadowed this sea-
son because Of Don Brcnnan's unusual
pitching.
Waterville is coming to the capital
fresh from her victory over Skowhe-
gan High Wednesday at the Elm City
and will try her best for the distinc-
ton of being the first team of the year
to trim Cony. Wiseman will probably
pitch for the upriver lads.

Waterville, May 20-The Colby
baseball team leaves this morning
for Brewer where they will play the
Easterns this afternoon. The Colby
team has improved a great deal
since the first of the season and they
expect to give the Brewer boys a
good rub.
The men have been unable to prac-
tice much since the Maine game
Wednesday but last night they
passed two hours with Coach Parent
in the gymnasium while the coach
pointed out the faults in previous

the game this afternoon.
The men who will make the trip
are, in batting order, Haines, left

Watervil.e took eight out of twelve
rounds from AL Burman of Brooklyn
here tonight. The remaining four
were even. 1t was slashing bout
from beginning to end with the Wa
terville boxer clearly outpointing his
opponent.
X. o. Mayo of Lewiston put it all
over Johnny Leroux of Berlin, in a
rather tame six rounds. Both fight
ers started out with a vengence, but
the New Hampshire lad grew wary
after the second stanza. and kept as
far away as possible from Mayo who
missed several chances to put his OPP
ponent out by the lullaby route.
The much-touted battle royal"
proved decidedly tame in actual
