SHIP PROBLEM

\\'Asii|.\‘u'i'ox, May ill-Secretary Taft

indicated to the president today that some diflieulty might be experienced in pur- chasing ships for the I’anamn liailway Company. Already some vessels \vliich the directors of the railroad had in mind had been found to be sold and the prices of some others had been raised when the owners had discovered for whom they were wanted.

A question was raised as to the use,

substantially by the United States gov ernment of foreign built. vessels and what nation's flags they would fly. Manifestly, under the la\v, they would not fly the United States flag, notwithstanding they belonged to the United States govern- ment, without coming into conflict with

tiuic. 'I‘licii the telephone idea struck him ami he called up the night operator"

at the central station. 6 “Will you please ring me up at six o`elock, as I am afraid 1 won't wake with- I out help?" Il

“Cc-riuinly, No.-Cali at Ga. m.,"re-l

plied cen`trnl.

This led to further conversation and it was learned that the central oflicc everyl morning iiiissoiiie of this work to do, and receives requests for calls just as* do hotel clerks. There are a numbcrl of people whose business calls them out at early hours ami who must be there on time, \vho arc called regularly. Others find the telephonca gicat convenience in this way, and some- times it happens that the calls are so numerous that the operator has to make a list.

i'.LOYD’S SHORTAGE $30,000

Ni;\\'.\iARKr:'i', l\Iay lil*-The losses in

stock gambling sustained by J. ll. Lloyd, the i\`c\vnn\iket lawyer, whois under nr- icsi. hcre charged with retaining trust funds ami refusing to account for it, amount in the last six years to $30,000. Lloyd was very prominent in liberal circles, ami the strongest efforts are being made by his political friends to have the

of Quincy Mass. A `

criminal charge withdrawn ami permit him to make assignment.

the navigation laws of the country. Scr- retary Taft said today that. the vessels if pnreiiased, would fly the flag of thc nation in which the purchase was mndi-` andnot the Stai-s ami Stripes. He added that they would not be employed in the coastwlse trade of thc United States, as that clearly would bo unlawful, but. would do a thorough business between New York ami Colon.

NOMINAT ES SUCCESSOR.

\f1`ono_\:'i'o, May 1-I.-Rev. G. A. Kuhring,

the retiring rector of thc church of the Asccnsioii, who goes to Sf. John, recom- nicndedas his successor Rev. l‘l.A.Rennie, \vho since 1899, when a graduate from Wycliffe college, has been assistant rector of St. 1’aul's church, New Orleans.

The iron span for the Murray llai-bor

The bridge for iii-aton's mills will be taken down about the end of the week.

It is expected that the seventh span

being constructed at the Railway Wharf for ilic Hillsboro Bridge will bc ready for placiiig by the end of the week.

A number of trips have been made

over the Murray Harbor Railroad this spring as far as Glencoe where thc large temporary trcstle work bridges the rliasni. No cngineslor cars have as yi-t this season been run ovcr the ivosilo as the railway officials have some doubts as to its safety.

This will be a delightful time to visit Tor- onto and Niagara, und the Convention will be the best yet held. Anyone wishing to take advantage of the cheap rate can do so by purchasing n. single ticket and ask- ing for n standard certificate, which must be signed at Toronto by thc Secretary of the Convention. The usual convention privileges, lio\ve\'cr, are i‘csci'vcd forflic regular delegates who must bc appointed by the lilxecntive Committee of thi‘A.s- sociation. The Sccietary of thc coin- mitfec, Rev.
