The Young Men’s society of St. Jeseph's society which recently be- came aligned with the A. A. U. and which was not thoroughly conversant with the many rules and regulations of that body, recently.appointed a committee to go to New York and discuss the various rules with the officials. Postmaster William F. De- laney, Francis J. Kiernan and Francis W. Delaney were selected as the com- mittee for this important mission. The trio left last Friday and in the afternoon met Secretary Matthews of the union, who explained in detail 2ll of the matters of which the local society were ignorant. These details, together with several other impor- tant matters, will be brought up for discussion at a meeting next Thurs- day evening. At the solicitation of the Metropolitan officials, a commis- sioner may be named by the socieety for this district, a vacancy in the commissionership prevailing at the present time. < The first of the series of road races under the supervision of the society will be held this evening, providing that the roads dry up in shape after the recent activities of Jupe Pluvius. At the coming meeting of the saciety it is probable that steps will be taken to have the society represented at the opening of St. Mary’s Athletic asso- ciation playgrounds on July 4, Y. M- C. A.

El Paso, Tex., June 12.—Gen. Ga- vira, Carranza commander at Juarez, left for Mexico City yesterday in re- sponse to a summons from War Minis- ter Obregon. Incursion Insignificant. San Antonio, Tex., June 12.—T, A. Coleman, owner of the ranch near Laredo that was raided by bandits yesterday, teleggaphed to General Funston today that later reports to him indicated that the incursion was of a characer almost insignificant, No unusual aectivity in that district was indicated in any military reports re- ceived today. Hold Anti-American Meeting. Chihuahua, Mex., June 11, via Juarez, June 12.—Mexicans thronged the streets here today, anti-American meetings being held in various parts of the city. The crowds, however, were orderly. The demonstration began with a parade through the principal streets to the military cuartel, where Gen. Jacinto Trevino thanked them for the patriotism displayed. For half an hour the crewd cheered and shouts of “Throw out the Americans” were frequent. Gen. Trevino announced that ar- rangements made by General Per- shing and General Gavira would be supported and disclaimed having said that Gavira had no authority. 1.

'HUGHES IN GOTHAM 10 PLAN CAMPAIGN (Continued From First Page.) a matter of duty is supremely clear and leaves no ground for hesitancy. There was no question in this situa- tion as to what I should do. I did it, and in my announcement to the peo- ple I endeavored to make my attitude clear. “I came here to hold consultations in regard to arrangements to the fu- ture. I can say nothing in respect to the details at this time.” Mr. Hughes then posed, smilingly, for moving picture and camera men. Mr, Hughes was at Brown univer- sity a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity and has long been active in its affairs. Among those who visited him today were four fellow members of a committee of five in that frater- nity who years ago traveled about the country together esablishing new chapters in various colleges. One of them was Edward M. Bassett of Brooklyn, former democratic congress- man, and who was active in the cam- paign for the election of President Wilson. Not a Roosevelt Messenger, { Mr. Hughes spent the forenoon in receiving callers. Shortly before 11 o’clock George W. Wickersham, former attorney general, appeared and was immediately ush- ered into Mr. Hughes’ room, where he went into conference with the candi- date. Mr. Wickersham declined to state the object of his visit or to dis- cuss rumors that he was acting as a mediator in plans to obtain progres- sives support for the republican can- didate. He reiterated his denial that he had been lately in consultation with Col. Roosevelt. While Mr. Wickersham’s confer- ence with the candidate, which was held soon after Mr. Hughes arrival from Washington, deeply interested politicians, nqthing was allowed to leak out as to the nature of their discussion. Mr. Wickersham insist- ed that his visit was purely a per- sonal one. “I have no expectation of seeing Col. Roosevelt and no mission to | see him,” said Mr. Wickerham after emerging from a thirty-five minute talk with Mr. Hughes. Others of the many who called | upon Mr. Hughes during the fore-‘ noon included Henry W. Taft, brother of the former president, United States Senator H. F. Lippitt, of Rhode Island, and William Cary Sanger, for- mer assistant secretary of war under Theodore Roosevelt. Fools Washington ‘Washington, scribes. June 12.—Charles E. Hughes, the republican presidential nominee, went to New York, early today to begin his campaign for the presidency. He was to meet repub- lican leaders returning from Chicago and hold conferences with many of them, including Frank H. Hitchcock, leader of the Hughes hoom in Chica. | g0; Frederick C. Tanner, chairman of the New York state republican com- | mittee; Gov. Whitman and others. The time of his stay has not been definitely stated, but it probably will be short. Mr. Hughes will return in time for the preparedness parade here on Wednesday. The candidate kept his plans for the trip secret and a score of news- paper men who had arranged to accompany him awoke today to find | him gone. They had been told at midnight that the justice was retiring and given to understand that he probably would start for New York at 10 o’clock this morning. Mr. Hughes is anxious to get into the fight actively, his friends say. He has been out of intimate touch with politics so long, however, he wants to get information and guidance from close friends in New York. The new presidential candidate was the object of much interest in Wash- ington yesterday. Many persons drove past his residence in hope of getting a glimpse of the former justice and so many moving picture men swarm- ed about him on his way to church that the Hughes family was late to services, Expects Roosevelt’s Aid. | St. Louis, Mo., June 12.—Henry J. Allen, Kansas progressive leader, here as a newspaper correspondent report- ing the democratic convention, who | has announced his support of Mr. | Hughes, today expressed belief that Col. Roosevelt also will take active part in the Hughes campaign. Mr. Allen said that former Rep. Victor Murdock, chairman of the progressive national committee, was most prom- inently suggested to succeed Col. | Roosevelt as the progressive standard bearer if Col. Roosevelt finally refus- ed the nomination. “I think the hour is too important for any man to worry about the name of a party he is going to sup- port,” said Mr. Allep. “If, Col. Roosevelt acepts the splendid state- ment of Mr. Hughes as meeting the conditions which he laid down to the progressive convention, a majori the progressives in the central northern states will support Mr. Hughes. “As far as I am personally con- cerned, if Col. Roosevelt declines the progressive nomination I will support Mr. Hughes. I think the fight is go- ing to be cleanly between Wilson and Hughes, and in that case I prefer Hughes. “As I read the Hughes statement it seems to me to meet the conditions laid down by Col. Roosevelt, and T belleve Col. Roosevelt will maitain rather an important relationship to the Hughes propaganda.” Mr. Allen said Gov. Johnson of Cal- ifornia was going to Oyster Bay to urge Col. Roosevelt's acceptance of the progressive presidential nominee, with Col. John M. Parker of Louisiana as the vice presidential candidate, in order to maintain the party's exist-| | Martin H. Xenney, ence and its right to a place on state ballots, especially in the south. Meyer Sees Victory Ahead. Chicago, June 12.—George Von L. Meyer, former cabinet member and supporter of Col. Roosevelt for the republican presidential nomination, is- sued a statement today in which he endorsed statements made by Charles E. Hughes in his letter of acceptance. ‘I believe with concerted aetion by all opposed to the present administra- tion we can elect Mr. Hughes our next president,” he said. IRISH RELIEF PLANS Judge Mangan Chairman of Commit- tee to Carry Out Work. The meeting in the interests of re- lief for Irish widows and orphans, which was held at T. A. B. hall Sat- urday evening, produced evidence enough to satisfy those in charge of the movement of the success of the un- dertaking. Attending the meeting were over 100 delegates from the various Catholic societies, also others interested in the work to be conducted toward raising a substantial sum in this city. Judge William F. Mangan was selected chairman and other offi- cers chosen at the meeting were: vice-president; James Ralph, secretary, and Lawrence P. Mangan, secretary, The following vice-presidents were named from the various societies in- terested: Daughters of Castile, Mrs. M. T. Crean; Ladies Auxiliary, A. O. H.,, Mrs. James Monohan; Ladies Temperance society, Mrs. Ellen Fitz- gerald; Emmet club, Robert Murray; Rev. W. A. Harty Branch, A. 0. H, Peter Curran; Daly council, K. of C., Attorney Henry P. Roche; at Ilarge, James T. O’Connor. It was decided to have the vice- presidents and the officers act as a committee to bring in a list of sixty names to act as the executive commit- tee, a meeting of which will he held this evening by the committee to de- cide on the names in Judge Mangan’s office at 8 o’clock. An entertainment was held at Saturday’s meeting which included solos by Mrs. M. T. Crean, Miss Kathleen Walsh, John Kiniry, John Ralph and piano selections by Mr. Ward. Another meeting of those interested will be held next Friday evening at a place to be decided upon later. 'RAILROADS AND MEN AT BREAKING POINT | Conterence in New Y;rk Comes fo Sudden Termination New York, June 12.—The confer- ence between the representatives of the railroads of the United States and their 350,000 employes, called to avert a threatened general strike, came to a sudden halt shortly after resuming sessions here today when the railroads submitted a counter proposition to the demands of the The workers have asked for an eight hour day, time and a half for over time, and the continuation of the existing rules calling for double compensation for d‘ifferent classes of men. | services during the same working day. The conference adjourned until later in the day, when the railroads’ proposition, described as the ‘“yard stick’ method of compensation. The railroads’ answer to the men’s demands was a tentative offer of compromise granting the eight hour day and over time, providing the double compensation rule is wiped out. In other words, the railroads maintain that if the men desire a shortened work day they must put in full time in whatever class of service they are assigned. Under the exist- ing rules an engineer on a hundred mile run—usually considered a day’s work—is granted over time if within his working day he performs another service. The result of today’s conference was not unexpected. When the questions were adjourned last week to give the railroads an opportunity to reply to the 110 questions of the men regard- | ing their proposition, it was predicted by the brotherhood leaders that the railroads answer would cause the dis- Tuption of the conferenc Object to “Yard Stick”. __The break came following the read- ing of the outline of the “yard stick’” method by Plisha Lee, chairman of the raiiroad managers and the confer- ence. Objections were immediately made by the brotherhood leaders. A. P, rretson, president of the Order of Railroad Conductors, voiced the sentiment of the men when he said in reply to Mr. Lee: ““Our propo- sition is not modifiable—it is either it or nothing. Our proposition’s chief demand is the eight hour da The over time s simply a penalty to en- force i Our answer is that if the ard stick’ is your united offer there s no reason for the continuation of this conference.” Timothy Shea, president of the Firemen's organization, asserted that the “vard stick” method, when put in operation on western roads following the agreement eighteen months ago, reduced the earning power of the men considerably.” “One engineer,” he said, ‘“had his earnings reduced $65 per month, and his fireman $40 per month.” Chairman Lee declared he could not agree with the brotherhood. The over time, he said, instead of enfore- ing the eight hour day would act as an incentive to the men to lengthen their da work. He declared the attitude of the men made it impossible to proceed, and he ordered an ad- journment until the afternoon when he would announce, he said, whether the railroads will continue with the con- ference or not. DEMOCRATS GATHER FOR BIG GONVENTION (Continued From First Page). Costell and the six delegates to the conference from the District of Col- umbia. Record Crowd Anticipated. Early trains brought scores of del- egates and visitors to St. Louis today and National Chairman McCombs said there was every indication that large crowds would attend the convention. “This is a remarkable tribute to Pres- ident Wilson and the party,” said Mr. McCombs, “when one considers that the convention lacks the alluring fea- ture of an exciting contest over the head of the ticket.” The convention hall is rapidly taking form and the national committee says it will be ready in ample time. St. Louis hung out bunting and flags in profusion today and decorations ap- peared everywhere in honor of the convention. Mrs. Florence Updegraff, the suffra- gist leader of New York, believes that the “golden lane,” in which several thousand women dressed in Wwhite with yellow sashes and carrying yel- low parasols Will stand in silence on both sides of the main street through which the delegates will pass on way to convention is going to be an effective argument for suffrage. This silent plea of the ‘“‘golden lane”, Mrs. Upde- graff says, 1s to be in direct contrast with the women’s campaign at other conventions, where oratory was relied upon to make their points. Evacuating Washington. Contributors who gave $5 or more to the $100,000 fund that brought the convention to St. Louils were made happy today by an announcement that they would get tickets to at least one of the sessions. The association which raised the fund has 2,300 tickets, and they will be parcelled out in proportion to the amounts sub- scribed. Heretofore tickets have heen given only to contributors of $50 or more. Object to Four Days. The convention managers are hear- ing from delegates on every hand suggesting that a four day session is too long for a convention which knows in advance what it proposes to do. ‘With the presidential nomination entirely settled and only scattering consideration of other names than Vice President Marshall’'s for a second place, some of the delegates who want to hurry home cannot un- derstand why nominations cannot be 1eached before Friday night. They are being told by the leaders that oside from the fact that president Wilson himself has chosen Friday night for his nomination, the con- vention has more purposes than neminations and adoption of a plat- form. ““All the expedients adopted by George W. Perkins and his fellow workers at the ghost dance conven- tion in Chicago last week, to prevent a precipitate nomination are likely ta be Tesorted to here,” said one of the democratic managers. “The whole business could actually be finished in a day if that were de- sirable. The platform is as good as written and the ballating is only a formality, but the city of St. Louis centributed $100,000 and we have agreed that the convention shall run four days so they can get back their money in hotel and restaurant charges.” May Ask Bryan to Speak. The convention managers realize the necessity of keeping the delegates interested. It was understood that at some time during the speechmaking William J. Bryan might be invited to ddress the convention on party achievements. Mr. Bryan would speak at a time when there was no other business before the convention. There were no indications today that he intends to take part in the actual proceedings by proxy. ‘While Vice President Marshall is cverywhere the leading figure in dis- cussion of the second place, some other booms are very lively, but they are regarded as favorite son activities not likely to disturb the harmony program. These included booms for Secre- tary Baker, Governor John H., Moore- head of Nebraska, Governor Major of Missouri, and Senator Owen of Cklahoma. ‘Women’s Views Differ. Suffragists of the newly organized woman's party and the national Amer- ican Woman Suffrage Association to- day rained demands on democratic leaders for two widely different ac- tions on their issue. The national organization, headed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, in- sisted upon a declaration for suffrage in the democratic platform, while the woman’s party delegation, through its chairman, Miss Ann Martin, declared ¢hat unless the convention resolutions committee demands immediate adop- tion by congress of the Susan B. An- thony resolution, her organization will declare war. “There no use to delay,” Miss Martin said today. The party has the votes in congress to pass _this amendment if it so desires. With four million voters in twelve states clamoring for universal suffrage, we demand action. Mrs. Catt expres: the demands would put plank in their platform. Washington, June 12.—Democratic leaders today were departing for the party convention at St. Louis with President Wilson’s final suggestions on work of the assembly. The president also planned to leave Washington for West Point, where he will deliver an address to graduates of the military academy tomorrow returning imme- aiately. Secretary Baker, for St. Louis toda ident ‘Wilson d confidence that a suffrage on his departure was one of Pres- personal representa- tives. Indications were -that Homerl Cummings, Connecticut national com- | mitteeman, was the most likely choice of Wilson as chairman of the demo- cratic national convention. Mr. Cum- mings now is vice chairman. Chances that the Mexican situation would change between now and the election makes the platform declara- tion dealing with that subject difficult to draw, but it is believed emphasis | will be laid principally on the presi- | dent’s policy of slight interference with | internal Mexican affairs. | Strenuous efforts are to be made by | party leaders to smooth out fllffer-l ences of opinion within the party and | to present a united front in the cam- | paign, it is said. | Despite the departure of many dem- | ocratic congressmen for St. Louis to- | day, the house took up consideration | of the fortifications appropriation bill. President Wilson talked politics to- day with several congressional callers | and was in communication by tele- graph with democratic leaders at St. | Louis for the national convention. City Itemns Miss Elizabeth Crandall of Belyi- dere spent the week-end with rela- | tives in Waterbury. i Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Carpenter spent the week-end at Chalker Beach. Manager Ben F.

Alex Borochvich Presents Report of Past Year and Lauds Parish- ioners for Faithful Interest. The Russian Orthodox church of Washington street observed the third anniversary of the dedication of its edifice yesterday. Although the church is still young, nevertheless the report of Rev. Alex Borochvich, the pastor, showed that gains are being made daily. The. pastor has been here only one year and the congre- | gation has increased from 400 souls to over 500. Father Borochvich lauded his parishioners for their in- terest in the church during his pas- torate and expressed the hope they will continue their good work. The parishioners are mostly working people and it is difficult for them to contribute to the support of the church steadily, but the feeling was prevalent that the church will keep its place in the hearts of the mem- bers. Already plans are being made for the formation of societies and when these plans are concluded it is- thought a regular income will be assured. In the morning the pator celebrat- ed a solemn high anniversary mas: which was attended by all the parish- ioners and many out of town priests and In the afternoon at 5 o'clock solemn high vespers were sung by Very Rev. Constan’/ Buke- toff of Hartford, former pastor of | the local church, assisted by Rev. | Chervensky of Springfield, Rev. Was- iliess of Meriden and Rev. Dulylla of Terryville. The choir rendered spe- cial anthems, led by Professor Gre- goriess, the organist. After vespers, a social hour was held under the auspices of the Ladies’ society. Addresses were made by the clergy and members of the church. BACK FROM CONVENTION. Rev. B. V. Grikas, pastor of St | Andrew’s Lithuanian church, has re- turned from Philadelphia, where he attended the annual convention of the Cuthelic Lithuanian Alliance which convened last week.

She has | a rare contralto voice, reinforced by ability and a charming personality. CONN. DELEGATES AR BACK. AGAIN (Continued From First Page). for another bite of pie. But this is not a thesis on the political situation. It is supposed to be on account of the home-coming of Connecticut’s four- teen delegates to the republican na- tional convention. They are here, safe and sound, and all ready to sprout | whiskers according. to the cut and pattern of the Hughes’' design. From now on their labors will be needed, if | Woodrow Wilson i of the White Hous to be thrust out into some other job. Tor, notwithstanding the so- called “weak and vacillating” policy of the present admir ition all those | nine hundred and more delegates who voted for Hughes realize that it is going to be a tough task to defeat | the present president. and that “Any- thing to Beat Wilson” is a poor cam- paign slogan.
