It is expected that this evidence may result in a demand the Secretary of War for trial Day. The new evidence is heing brought to Washington by a special board of army officers which investigated the killing of Col. Beck. Letters received by Secretary Weeks and other army officlals promise that the report will tend to prove that the investigation by the coroner's jury was ‘“‘white- washed.” FEvidence, it was said, was “improperly presented” and important facts withheld or distorte 1f the advance information is sub- stantial, Secretary Weeks will take under advisement the question of presenting such evidence as the army hoard may have provided to the State authorities with a view to demanding a trial of Judge Day. The investigation of an army board, officials explained, merely was routine procedure. In the event of the death of any officer a board of officers is constituted to inquire into the death to determine whether he died in line of duty, as, if such is the case, the officer’'s next of Kkin receives cash re- imbursement from the government. In the investigation of (‘ol. Beck's death army officials are said to have found many discrepancies in the record of the coroner’s inquest. One specific instance related to the question of whether intoxicants w in evidence at the party which 1t- ed fatally for Col. Beck Before the coroner's jury it was testified to the negative. The army report, however, declares that corn liquor was found in a jar on the mantelpiece of Judge Day's home PICKETS DRIVEN BACK Pawtucket Police Form ¥lying Wedge and Disperse Those Surrounding Factory.

Co. carried clubs when they went on duty this morn- ing. Judge Tuck in municipal court recently told the strike sympathizers that he knew of no rule prohibiting the carrying of weapons openly.

The salary committee recommended no cuts in the pay of city employes |who do not come under the head of boards or commissions; also similar action in the cases of all other boards. The report follows: “Your committee has met and gone over the salary question from all |angles and reports that in their opinion there should be no reduction in salaries at this time. One of the reasons is that the wages and salaries of city officials and employes were not raised until about a year ago after all other officials and employes were re- ceiving high salaries and wages. “Your committee received reports from the board of public charities; water commissioners; fire commis- sioners; health commissioners; build- ling commissioners; public works and police commissioners, all of which re- ported strongly against any reduction of salaries excepting the board of police commissioners, who reported in favor of a straight ten per cent. cut | throughout. “Since the commissioners of these |various departments are in close touch with their employes and know best the salaries they should receive, the committee decided to concur with | their reports, excepting the report of the hoard of police commissioners | As the committee could not recom- mend reduction in any other de- partment it did not deem it just to reduce this particular department and would recommend that the salaries of the police department be left as they are at tie present time.” | “With regard to salaries in the Jepartment of the hoard of public works, the hoard assures the com- ‘u\)l!vl' that it will so arrange that | the appropriations for salaries as v i & | When the physician recommends ou PASTEURIZED MILK for the baby, isn't that a good indication regarding | entire family should the quality the use We don't have to misrepresent our product as a large pvrcentage of our milk is produced on OUR OWN FARM | at Berlin, and the balance is all pro- duced within a few miles of New Britain | und positively no New York milk is be- ing sold through our dairy.

Carson City, Nev., April 20.—Repeal of the measure providing for the use of lethal gas for the execution of murderers will come before the next state legislature, according to state officials. It is held that the unusual law has brought the state much un- favorable publicity and defeated the ends it was intended to serve. An appeal from the sentence of death imposed on two Chinese pris- oners is pending hefore the state su- preme court, and until that decision is rendered nothing will be done to- ward providing the lethal chamber, according to Governor Boyle.
