York Selectmen Will Open Famous Bridge Today, Recede From Position Under Threat of Prosecution By United States Authorities—Other Suits Are Threatened. York, Mp., Juno 29.—Tho York draw bridge, which has been closed to the passage of vessels on account of the refusal of the selectmen of the town to accept the completed bridge from a town committee which had the over sight of the repairs, will be opened to morrow, the selectmen having decided to recede front their position on ac count of the announcement that crimi nal proceedings would be brought against them by the United States gov ernment through District Attorney Whitehouse of Portland. Tile select men are Joseph P. IJragdon, Henry S. Biagdon and Harry If. Norton. They sent word tonight to District Attorney Whitehouse of their intention to open the draw tomorrow and as a result they expect that tlie threatened suit against them will not be prosecuted. The statement issued by them says they will open the draw under protest. Tomorrow a tug of the Piseutav liis son, Col. Frederick Hale, was also among the early arrivals, ranting here from Fllsworth and going to the Bangor Tfousp. Tho TTnlnes men plaeo a groat ileal nl confidence in the “night before” work, hut just how big. if any, a gain Haines will niako out of tins work will only he known when it is manifested in tlio con vention.

None ol tho Roothhy delegates were bound by a sec ond choice, so that since his withdrawal they are free to act as they please. Haines’ name will be presented to tho convention by Hon. Herbert At. Heath of Augusta, who bears the reputation of be ing one of the best orators in the State or Maine and is frequently referred to as “the sinver-tongued orator of tho Kenne bec.” It is possible that Col. Bradbury of Saco will be given a proxy by one ot the York county delegates, in which case he will second the nomination. Mayor Merrill of Auburn will nominate Mr. Fernnld and it is probable that there will be several seconding addresses These will be made by Beecher But nan of Houlton.

The special train from Portland in the morning is expected to bring contingents fi'otn all along the line between here and that city, Lewiston and Wuterville, as well as Winthrop and other towns along the line. The Waterville delegates will be on it and they will be accompanied by a band. Although the day was for the most part quiet today and early indications pointed to one of the quietest conventions ever held in the State, there was some anima tion tonight. The Bangor House seemed to he general headquarters for the dele gates and several conferences were held there during the evening. There went good sized gatherings about the lobby and considerable enthusiasm for each of the several candidates. The delegates did not all congregate at the Bangor 'douse, however, ns them were groups of them about the corridors of the other hostelries, discussing tlio prospects of the various candidales and the probable developments of tomorrow. Byron Boyd of Augusta, seen tary of the State committee, was working hard today completing what prelimirary ar rangements were necessary for tonight's meeting at the Bangor House. The con vention will lie called to order at 1.30 o’clock tomorrow and it is expected that a nomination will lie made early in the afternoon. n.m'JMLU VO. nMlINtO, Both Names Will Surely Be Presented to the Convention Today. Bang >r, Mo.. June 29.—Tile names of two candidates, Bert M. Fernald of Poland and William T. Haines of Wa terville, will be presented for the nom ination for Governor at the Republican State convention which will meet at 1.30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the Bangor Auditorium. There has been some uncertainty as to whether Mr. Haines wi old appear as a candidate before the convention in view of the claim of supporters of Mr. Fernald that the latter has a large majority of tin- delegates, but all doubt was re moved tonight when it was announced that Mr. Haines’ name will be put be fore the convention by Herbert M. Heath of Augusta. The friends of Mr. Haines assert that he will have the support of 4r>0 of the 1320 delegates en titled to seats, tin the other hand, Mr. Fernald's supporters say that he will have fully lOtiO votes. Aside from the Governorship the only place to be filled is that of State auditor. For this place Charles Hatch, the present auditor, was the only can didate mentioned tonight and it was expected that he would be nominated by acclamation. The time hotels in the city were each the headquarters tonight of busy groups of delegates, about 700 of whom had arrived. The headquarters of the State committee were at the Bangor House. The committee considered the contest over the Van Huron delegation ami decided eventually to scat the Haines delegates. Some drafts of the proposed plat form W“re also talked over by the State committee, but nothing regarding the conclusions reached was given out. The question of the chairmanship of the State committee raised by the re tirement of Seth M. Carter of I.ewis ton will not be decided at this time. Friends of Mr. Fernald said tonight that in the event of his nomination for Governor lie would take some time to consider the matter of State chair man and that probably nothing will be decided tor two weeks at least. Asher T. Hinds of Portland, parlia mentary clerk of the National House of Representatives, arrived tonight and will direct that proceeding of the con vention tomorrow as chairman. Fnited States Senator Kugene Hale was a prominent figure about the Bangor House tonight and will attend the con vention. The name of Mr. Fernald will be pre senfed by Mayor Irving I>. Merrill of 1 Auburn. Charles S. Hichborn of Au gusta will present the name of Mr. Hatch for State auditor. The State committee remained in i session till 11 o'clock and Jit udjourn meat the temporary organisation was announced as follows: Chairman. Asher C. Hinds. Portland; secretaries. Col. E. C. Dill.

TROOPS May Take a Hand In the Mexican Revolt By Arresting Such Rebels as Cross Border Into States. Revolutionalists and Bandits Still Active and Aggressive. WaslUngton, June 2f).—There is a possibility that United States troops may be tailed on to arrest any of tile Mexican revolutionists who may cross ttie border in the effort to escape from the Mexican authorities. It cannot be learned that any actual orders to this effect have been given, but the olii cials having to do with the matter say that every step possible is being taken to see that the neutrality laws shall be enforced. Several military posts are in proximity to the border of Texts touching the state of Delrio where the .Mexican revolutionists seem to be doing the most of their work and troops may be made ready for any service required of them. They include the men at Fort Sam Houston, Fort Hliss and Fort Clarke. Senor Coder, the Mexican charge at Wash ington today had another taik with Acting Secretary Adee of the state de partment at which the situation was discussed. Mexico and the United Stales have an agreement whereby the troops of either country may cross the boundary id' tile other in pursuit of hostile In dians and this may serve as the basis for any steps that might be taken in assisting Mexico to capture the revo lutionists. Acting on representations from the Mexican embassy through the secre tary of state, tlie attorney general lias directed the United States attorneys with jurisdictions along the Texas, New Mexico and Arizona borders, to immediately communicate with the United tSates marshals and instruct them to take all possible steps to avert a violation of the neutrality sta tutes. 'i'ite Mexican government has asked that tlie cases against Villareal and the two others charged with con spiracy to violate tile neutrality laws, he pushed to an early conclusion. SITUATION WORSE.

White Plains, N. Y„ June 29.—Harry Thaw's chancy lor a jury trial ;us to his sanity appear to be very bright. At the (conclusion of argument before Justice Mil’s this afternoon, the jus tice said: "I believe it should be only a mat ter of time when this man ought to have a jury trial. 1 am not prepared to say win tiler it should be now or later.” The judge then ordered that Thaw should be detained in the Poughkeep sie jail and adjourned the case to July 12, when new arguments and attidavits will be submitted. Thaw was taken hack to Poughkeepsie this afternoon. White Plains, N. Y June 29.—Under the proceedings on which Thaw was arraigned here today, the question of his right to a jury trial was raised. In the lirst habeas corpus proceedings be fore Justice Joseph Morschauser in Poughkeepsie this point was not brought up, as counsel for Thaw as sumed that his sanity was perfect. Thaw's counsel, Charles Morschauser, together with Franklin Uartlett of New York, urged Judge Mills to grant a jury trial. It was expected that Dis trict Attorney Jerome or his assistant, Mr. Garvin, would oppose Thaw’s ap plication for a trial by juiy. Under tie* proceedings on which Thaw was brought here today, Kd ward Conger, assistant district attor ney of Dutchess county, appeared in court to oppose any application for the return of Thaw to the Dutchess coun tv jail. mu i.iitt.wl nil i ll»> train by Dr. Charles W. Pilgrim, su perintendent cif the lltnlsnii River State Hospital for the Insane at. Poughkeepsie, who testilied as an ex pert in behalf of Thaw at the last trial. Dr. Amos Raker, assistant superin- tendent of the Matteawan asylum, came down on the same train. He and Thaw shook hands at Tarrytown while waiting for the ear to Whitt* Plains. Thaw enjoyed the ride down the Hudson. “IPs the first 1 have set'll of the country to any extent in two years," he said, lit* looked out of tin* window on the river side all the way. commenting on the scenery. He was in fine spirits and declared that his stay in the Poughkeepsie jail hail helped him because he was permitted there to have much better food than tin* simple diet to which he had been restricted to at Matteawan. While waiting for the court to con vene, Thaw went to a barber shop in the village for the shave which his early start frtyn Poughkeepsie had not allowed him to have in the jail. He was followed by a curious crowd as he went tlown the street accompanied by his guard and a big audience clustered outside the shop gazed through tin* windows while the barber worked. On his way back to the court house Thaw permitted camera men to snap him several times. The county court room was well filled when Judge Mills arrived. When Thaw entered the court room lie was accompanied by his counsel. Col. Part lett, A. Russell Peabody and Charles Morsehauser. District Attor ney Jerome was in court awaiting the arrival of the prisoner. Col. Bartlett began an address to the court on the legal points involved in the habeas corpus. Col. Bartlett was permitted to make his address over the objection of Dis trict Attorney Jerome who announced his intention of asking for a 10-days’ adjournment to give him time to pre pare a return to the writ, but as Col. Bartlett is to sail for Europe tomor row morning, the court decided that he should be heard at this time. “There is ^i peculiar condition of facts here." said Mr. Jerome. “The proceedings before Justice Morsehaus er were exhaustively conducted, hut before they were terminated before that justice, application was made to Justice Dowling for a modification of his order committing Thaw to Mat teawan Now before Justice Dowling decides that application they appear before your honor with a new writ of habeas corpus. My opinion is that it is the real purpose of these proceedings to keep this alleged lunatic out of Mat teawan." Col. Bartlett answered, denying Mr. Jerome’s assertion as to the purpose of the proceedings. “I will hear you. Col. Bartlett,” said Justice Mills, "but it troubles me to be called upon to pass upon questions so recently presented before another judge in this judicial district.” Col. Bartlett declared that the points which he wished to present to ihe court were not argued in the proceed ings before Justice Morsehauser. “Tour honor is well aware of the legal principle that nothing is binding on the return of a writ of habeas car pus.” said Col. Bartlett. "This young man appears here as a prisoner de prived of his liberty without due pro cess of law.” Col. Bartlett attacked the constitu tionality of Thaw’s commitment tc Matteawan and argued that there should have been an Inquiry iritc Thaw's sanity after the verdict of th« last jury and before his commitment to Mat tea wan. “It is not Harry Thaw alone who Is concerned in the proceeding/* said Col. Bartlett. “It is whether any man can he deprived of his liberty without due pro cess of law. Harry Thaw has been ac quitted of the crime of murder and hq stands before the law as innocent as any man who hears my voice. And I want to say that lie is just as sane, in my opin ion, as T am.” Col. Bartlett grew more dramatic as he continued. “We ask for a trial by jury unless your honor shall on the points we have raised he satisfied of the justice of our position anti discharge this young man from custody. In behalf of Harry Thaw, in behalf of his relatives, mother, sister, brother—all his relatives—I mak>| this appeal to your honor’s sense of hu manity and justice.” Col. Bartlett made no mention of the prisoner’s wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, in his appeal for Thaw's liberation. Co!. Bartlett then read several authori ties. including the citation from the old English law that “A man cannot he de prived of his liberty- without a trial bv a jury of his peers whether it he a crimi nal or insane act that is alleg'd.” Thaw’s counsel submitted that the whole tnnd of judge-made law is in favor of tiial of this question by a jury*. Judge Mills nsk“d if there were proper facilities at the hospital for guarding the prisoner and preventing his escape. The question brought all the counsel to their feet. Assistant District Attorney Conger objected to Thaw’s return to the Pough keepsie jail as Sheriff (“hauler is due home from Europe' Sunday' and wants his room. Bartlett asked that Thaw \\e de tained either in the Westchester jail, the Poughkeepsie jail or the Hudson Bivet State hospital while the proceedings are pending. District Attorney Winslow said that in the Westchester jail Thaw would have to occupy a cell like any ordinary prisoner. argument against Thaw going anywhere but to Mattoawan. which described ns the one proper place provided by tho Legislature for tho treatment of such prisoners. Tie declared that from nnv of tho other state hospitals a man with $1000 could escape as easily as he (Jerome) could huv a ticket to New York for f><) cenfs. ITe characterized the proceedings as “nonsense,” and cried: ‘T most earnestlyf object to the liippo drotning of this man around the country from one county to another. Such pro ceedings bring justice into disrepute. Both Justice Dowling and Justice Morschauser have committed Thaw to Mattoawan and it. is the one proper place in which lie can be securely confined and receive proper medical treatment. 1 regard him as a dangerous paranoiac who seeks an opportunity to escape out of the jurisdic tion of this state to which he cannot be returned under requisition.” Col. Bartlett responded warmly to Mr. Jerome, who, lie said, was conducting tl:o prosecution of Thaw beyond the verdict of the jury, beyond the limits of his duty. "Why,” said Col. Part let t. “I was told at Mntteawan that I could have but 19 minutes in which to talk to Thaw, and I was virtually fired on the 20th minute We will give a bond of $100,000 that liq will net try to escape from any institu tion. .if he was a poor man he would have been discharged long ago. Because he is reputed to have money he Is re garded with suspicion. It is going hack to the horrors and tortures of the dark ages in favor of cruel oppression.” Judge Mills ended the many-sided argu ment by finivuniHiy;: believe it should be only n matter of time when this man ought to have a jury trial. T am not prepared to say whether it should he now or biter. T will grant an adjournment to receive affidavits and argument and will detain the prison er in the meantime.” New arguments and affidavits will he submitted to Judge Mills on Monday, July l‘». in support of the application for a jury trial and by Mr. Jerome in opposition. APPLICATION DENIED. Judge Dowling Refuses Thaw’s Peti tion for Transfer from Matteawan. New York, June 29.—Justice Dowling (Continued on Page Twelve.) TROUBLE BREWING ii u .1i; For the Democratic Con vention at Denver. Prohibition and Injunctions Al ready Stumbling Blocks. Still at Sea OverlBothersome Viet Presidential Question. Denver, Col., June 29.—The fight over .the anti-injunction plank in the Dem ocratic platform is not the only strug gle in which the committee on resolu tions and possibly the convention it self may be involved. It developed today that the prohi bition question is to be brought to the front and that a desperate effort will be made to have a plank declaring in its favor placed in the platform. The prohibition movement will be headed by General James B. Weaver of Iowa, who demanded of the recent Democrat ic convention in that state that it de clare in favor of prohibition. General Weaver and his followers were not successful in their efforts in their own state, but not daunted by their failure have made arrangements to bring the matter tip before the Democratic Na tional convention. They claim, more over. to have strong backing from a number of delegations from the South ern states which have recently passed prohibition laws and it is declared con fidently by Gen. Weaver's adherents that it the Democratic national plat form does not contain a prohibition plonk it will only be for the reason that the hardest kind of fighting has' been unable to secure its adoption. The anti-injunction plank continues' to provoke a large amount of discus sion among such party leaders as have already arrived for the conven tion. While opinions differ as to the exact nature of the plank which should be adopted, all are of one mind in say ing that it shall be a definite and spe cific statement. Such members of the. national committee as have discussed, the matter are a unit in saying that the wording of the anti-injunction plank shall leave no possible doubt in the mind of any reader as to where the party stands on this question. It is now generally believed, however, that the anti-injunction resolution will not provide for trials by jury In cases of contempt of court, or favor in any way measures which might be con strued as interfering with the pre rogatives of the federal courts. The friends of Mr. Bryan say that sin h ol his critics as care already ex pressing themselves in fear of a radi cal anti-injunction plank are fighting tin* air. The plank has not yet been written; it has not been drafted and its form is still a matter which is un der careful consideration. It is said to be the desire of Mr. Bryan to consult as many of the prominent members of the party as is possible before any de cisive action in formulating this reso- lotion is taken. The Vice Presidential situation re mains to all appearances Just where it was yesterday, although llie boom of Dieut. Gov. Chanler of New York seems to have weakened somewhat and liis name is not as prominently men tioned as it was two days ago. Tills is largely due to the announcement made by Norman 10. Mack, national committeeman from New York, that he has no authority to speak for Mr. Chanler and that his interest in tint movement was dictated by friendship and by a sincere belief that the New York official is well qualified to taka second place on the ticket. Only one new name was mentioned today as a Vice Presidential possibil ity. This was Governor George E. Chamberlain of Oregon. He Is In much favor with some of the parly leaders and it is said he will be personally ac ceptable to Mr. Bryan If the. latter Is nominated. Th" sponsors of the Vice Presidential booms located outside of New York stale claim to be generally encouraged by the fact that already five men have been mentioned as aspirants to the Vice Presidential nomination. They believe with the New York dele gation divided among that number of candidates, an outsider has a far bet ter chance of securing the prize- than would be in the case if the delegation from the Empire State were standing solidly for a single man. Chairman Taggart of the national committee today announced the chap lains tor the last three days of the con vention and the complete list is now as follows: Tuesday, July 7, Bight Rev. James J. Kean of Wyoming; Wednesday, Rev. C. F: Belsner of Grace Methodist Epis copal church, Denver: Thursday,' Rab bi Manuel March of Seattle, Wash.; (Continued on Page TweiveD^, WAITT BOND’S TOTEM CIGAR Without an axeoptlon tho flnoofl Fivo Cant Londro mad* In tha Unitad 8tatoo.

The game was very well played un til the seventh, when the visitors put Hoxie in the box and Togus made nine hits and nine runs off him in the two in nings. McCurdy-pitched a fine game, only allowing six hits and striking out nine men in six innings. The features of the game were a running catch by Hoxie and the work of both batteries. Up to tho commencement of the seventh only- 10 men of each saw first base. After this the visitors went up and Togus ran the score up nine points. This is the first game the plumbers have played together and they show lack of practice and coaching, hut they have the making of a fine team and If they get an other game with Togus the score will look very much different if all indications prove true. 1 IJl il S. nil l* bli tl> ]in a a 1 la.Vi'S, lh .II 0 il 7 I (i Mmwin. o .5 1 1 2 S I 1 Kirk, If .5 2 2 2ft il n M (US'1, ss .5 2 2 5 5 1 0 Ryan, 3I> .5 2 110 10 Stinson. .i:o, if. p ...2 ft 1 1 1 ft ft Rex Church, rf __2 ft ft ft ft ft ft Taber, of. lb .4 ft ft ft 4 1 ft MeCurtly, p, ss .2 0 0 0 1 ft Totals .;34 1 7 7 24 1C (I Torus .ft 2 2 1 2 3 ft x—1(1 Plumbers .0 0 i 0 ft ft ft ft ft— 1 E:u nod runs—Torus S, Plumbers 1.

Du you know whether you are in clined to, or have kidney trouble? Have you ever tried the simple test of selling aside your urine in a bottle or vessel for twenty-four hours? A sediment or settling in the urine incidates a diseased condition. Science has today furnished proofs that all the purifying that your blood needs; in fact, all that can be done, must be done by your kidneys. They are the most important organs, because they filter and purify the blood. The kidneys strain or filter out the impurities in the blood—that is their work. When your blood is impure, nothing can purify it but your kidneys. To overcome these troubles take Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the world-fa mous kidney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that has yet been discov ered. If you mention our paper and write Dr. Kilmer Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle, they will send it free by mail—it will convince anyone. You willJ;also receive a booklet of vatuaUtfcjinf urination, telling all about fhe'kiibteyisi.. bi->ii J manner. Altiiomrttvtnlfw.coanpta+aly .surprise Mr. Simpson' feelingly re sponded.
