PHILADELPHIA, March 26 Mayor H. M. Ekers of Montreal and Mayor John Weaver of Philadelphia are at loggerheads. Ekers arrived today with 16 Montreal aldermen to inspect tno elevated railroad system and get views to guide them in spending $2,000,000 in their city for the' same purposes. They reached the hotel Walton this moinmg Mayor Weaver did not ap-rear.

The aldermen at last insisted the appointment with Weaver be called off. They communicated with the heads of the two big railroads, got escorts and were about to start when the telephone rang. "This Is Mayor Weaver," said a lusty voice.

"Did you Just wake up?" was shouted back at him. Weaver got mad Ekers got mad. Weaver's promise to make amends was refused; and it's all off. Mayor Weaver said he didn't know when they were coming; Ekers said he did, and there you are. REVERE, March 26 Moderator Burn-ham called ihe third session of the annual town meeting to order last night.

with nearly 500 citizens in attendance, The first business was a report of a committee on new fire station for the I Revere beach precinct, presented by Henry J. Skelflngton. It stated that rad The cure and restriction of tuberculosis was discussed before the legislative committees on public health and public charities sitting jointly at the state house this morning. Recently a special commission to Investigate measures for the relief of consumptives reported to the legislature with various recommendations. These Included the establishment of three state hospitals, one in tho Connecticut valley, one In northeastern and one In southeastern Massachusetts; state medical Inspection; compulsory notification and registration of persons afflicted with pulmonary tuberculosis, the extension of the antisplttlng law, etc.

Dr C. S. Millett of East Bridgewater, who was the secretary of the special commission, addressed the committee and explained the report which had been sent to the legislature. The number of cases of consumption in Massachusetts, he believed, could best be mftarured by the number of deaths. The number ot deaths average about 6000 a year; on that basis there must be 15,000 Restored to Health in a Few Hours by the Use of His ical improvements are reeded at once in that section, the present station be-ins; in very bad condition and inade- 3 1 RHEUMATISM REMEDY REPAIRING NAVAL VESSELS.

An appi opriation of $26,000 was asked for to buy the land and erect a building to accommodate three pieces of ap-, para. us Mr Skeffington stated that the committee desired to buy the lot at the junction of Shirley av and Centennial i av, and place the new building fronting Shirley av, with a rear entrance ad- joining the present station, but the own Do New System of Inspection to mamSnjoi cere XV persons sufferingfrom consumption each II aaVtartleaE BUI aav I jwm Prtra year in the state, although the returns received by the commission through the circulars out to physicians in the various counties showed only 8CIO0.

P. P. Birchmore bitterly assailed owners of this and other sites who had Jumped prices, accusing them of lack of patriotism. He called on I r(t la wwrtk cw Away With Old-Time Evils. The new system of deciding upon the repairs and changes needed by a naval vessel is In progress today at the Charlestown navy yard for the first time.

For years, when a ship was sent to a navy yard for repairs, the commanding officer made certain recommendations and then a board of survey was appointed, Comprising the mechanical heads of the yard, who made a general report to the secretary of the navy, who from a dlstar.ee approved or disapproved. There was much dissatisfaction with the old method, as frequently In reducing the aggregate amount requil-ed for all the repairs the most urgently needed items were disapproved, and minor items, which were virtually neces 40 RAILROADS INCOMPACT Stand to Repel Demand of Their Trainmen. as there were plenty ot good sites, but the commission believed that one should the assessors to raise the rates on all of SIGNATURES FROM 32 FIRMS Agree to Garment Workers' Demand Most of Small Concerns Will Now Recognize Unions. rW. rii aw tj M'lto a aalyrft'w A At tal au ifi t- Try (a WMfc I a aaftaSc-t.

It Is said, for recommendations to be made for many changes and repairs not needed, so as to keep the ship at a yard for months should the place happen to be the home vicinity of some of the senior officers, or to provide work for the yard and keep a large force of workmen busy.

Recently a change was made. The local surveys are made as heretofore. But a special board of experts, called the genernl board on inspection, repairs and changes, makes a supplementary Inspection and also confers with the local board and the commandant of the station on every item. The general board, headed by Capt Hugo Osterhaus and Naval Constructor Stuart F. Smith, made its first appearance at the Charlestown navy yard this morning.

Middlesex, Essex and that part of the state, and a third perhaps at Ttiunton, which would take care of Bristol, Norfolk and Plymouth counties. Dr Francis D.

Donoghue of Boston, who for years lias been actively interested in the subject of relief for consumptives, addressed the committee. Dr Donoghue said that If further provisions were made as recommended by tne commfission, It would be better for the state that a new commission, w-tiicii would supersede the present one at Rutland, and which would take charge ot: all fresh enterprises directed, to the relief of consumption, should be appointed. Under such an independent commission, which might be placed under the supervision of tbe state board of charity, he said, patients could be transferred as improvement in their condition warranted, from hospitals utilised mainly for hopeless cases to superior surroundings at Rutland. Under the commission, too, he stated, pregnant women suffering from consumption could be taken care of without pauperizing the person by sending her to Tewksbury. This most deserving class of cases can, under present conditions, receive no treatment without endangering the life of ihe mother or sacrificing the life of the chil 1 or both.

A new commission, lie thought, should have the right to supervise local institutions like the one which Boston is about to erect, and the institution at Lonf island, so that cases which show improvement may bo transferred promptly to still better surroundings. Miss Higgins, secretary of the associated boards of charity, said that she believed all the recommendations of the commission should be carried She commended the commission because it had attacked the subject from four sides. This, she said, showed real generalship.

Clifford and John Sidebot-tom thought the Walden-av site not suitable because the street Is but 40 feet In width. Mr Skeffington answered that the committee intended to place the building 20 feet back from the street line, which would give a long ladder truck a chance to turn into the street easily. The present owner of the land is the Boston Northern railroad company, and It is the only owner approached willing to sell at assessed valuation. The committee offered no plans tor the building. On motion of George A.

Dalrymple the recommendations were adopted and $25,000 appropriated, to be expended by the committee for such a building as the committee may decide upon. The committee is Henry J. Skeffington, George A. Copeland, George A. Dalrymple, John Cssaie and George P.

Basford. A motion of chalrmun Benjamin Keeping pending from last meeting on the matter of a superintendent of wires, was then declared in order. Dr C. P. P.

Burchinore read the record of town meetings in 1898, establishing the office. He maintained that the selectmen are the only officials competent to appoint the superintendent, and offered an amendment, "That the superintendent of police and fire department wires, said office having been already created by the town, shall be under the supervision of the selectmen, and shall bo appointed yearly by the selectmen at a regular meeting in March, and shall receive a salary of $900, to be drawn from the appropriation for the fire department" Dr Burchinore said the alarm boxes are not properly inspected at present, and told of several instances when certain boxes could not be used, or had failed to ring the proper number. Selectman Keeping said no selectmen had ever appointed a superintendent of wires, and asked Treas G. A. Tapley u' he had ever paid a bill or a salary account for a superintendent of wires.

The treasurer said no. Mr Keeping said his only object in bringing thu matter up was to have all the wires of police and fire department under control of one man who should be answerable to the selectmen. He accepted Dr Burchmore'a motion as a substitute for his own. but pointed out that If it passed the fire department would lose $900 of its appropriation. Chief Rhoades told of the workings of the police signal service and why a separate man liad been attending to the wires of that department the past year.

CHICAGO. Mnrch 26-A crisis was reached at midnight in the negotiating between western rnllroadB and thWr employes over the wage question, and It is up to the general managers, according to representatives of the j0 employes who have voted to strike unless their demands are granted. The reply of the general managers to this sentiment Is "that we have conceded all we can to this demand." Both sides will meet and unless there is a recession on one side or the other a strike will take place on 40 railroads with a trackage of 95,000 miles and an annual payroll of $320,000,000. These roads are standing together. Opposed to this aggregation stands the brotherhood of railroad trainmen with a membership of 90,000 men and the order of railway conductors with 45,000.

The men demand an increase of percent and a working day of nine hours. The general managers have offered a 10 percent Increase without the nine-hour day. The counting of the ballots cast by the men on the question of accepting the concessions of the general managers or calling a strike should the railroads refuse to concede the demands of the man was completed at midnight. The official figures have not been announced, but It Is said that 95 percent of the men voted in favor of calling a strike unless their demands were granted. board of charities should be left In the I OPPOSITION TOO STRONG.

Clark of Montana caused something- of a flutter la financial circles In Boston today by arriving here on an early morning train and driving to Young's hotel, where he registered at the head of all th arrirale for the day. and was assigned La room U. Mr Clark remained in his room the greater part of the forenoon, up to 11:20 o'clock, when he left the hotel by the main entrance and enteral Kenneth A. 8kJnaer' automobile.

Mr Skinner went away in the car with Mr Clark, but Thirty-t-vo of the concerns In this city that man ifttCtUrS women's gsr-ments have a' ready settled with the skirt, cloak and suit makers. utt ra and pressmen's unions, and their employes Ware back at work before Bi One of the firms whi-h conceded tlas unions' requests is one of the largest In the city. The others were smaller firms, in fact it was stated that all the smaller llruis have now signed, thus centering battle on the larger Shops, whose owners are nearly all member of the Manufacturers and Contractors association. The general strike Is not for iihh wages or loss hours, as soma have in to give the impression. It Is for the recognition of the unemH, and, in measure, was precipitated by the (employers' association, the Oftloera of which frankly admitted today that they were surprised at the strength of the unions and the unanimous response of the workers to the goiieral strlku call yester liiy.

In ihe past 1 1 tie i i anyone ontarred with tho employers as a committee for tli'j han Js, he or she Wan invm lably 1 1 -chnrged. Cheating non-Kngllsh speaking and the more ignorant of the employes out of JllHt wiikcs Is one of ihe things which tne unions allege. At the meeting ysstsrday and today men anil women reported that owing to their Inability to read or sp, alt Knglinh they found that they had made con tracts for ridiculously low wages. One man, an Italian, 30 years of ttRf, active and able bodied, told at this morning meeting at 4ti Stlllman st, that he had been a ladles' tailor in Italy before pfimlntt to tills country two eai .114., He Immediately applied for work In that line Upon arriving In Boston.

Me soon discovered that he had signed contract to work fin r. 11 Waatt, and Unit was all he received until Italian cltlsena took legal steps to obtain his Just rlKhls. The agreement Which tne unions di sired signed, calls for a bond of $50 'or faithful performance on the part of the employer. A larger number of shops would have signed before o'clock today, It Was stated, but for the fact thai tn officer and leaders of tie- strike weru all In market, including the copper stock market, ia in a weak state. Some of the prognnstlcators of finance figured It out that Mr Clark's coining litre just at this time might have an important bearing on the market.

It was ever, guessed by some of them that Mr Clark might he here have a confab with Thomas W. Lavsnn. and they pointed out that the financial laboratory of the latter is In room 74 In the hotel selected by Mr Clark as his mopping place here. Remembering bark to the lusty swats Lnwrtn gave the Montana copper magnates when he was' writing pieces for the majtaxlne. it was calculated by some others that probably t.awson wasn on the Clark calling list, and that there rrobnblv as nothing in the conference rtory.

Still, as modern finance makes stranger bedfellows then even ward rilitlcs. It Is possible there may be a awson end to the Clark visit ant a Uottuniljr. Th. Skinner didn't operate the machine, a chauffeur doing that. The automobile carried Messrs Clark and Skinner to Cambridge.

Considerable speculation wa indulged la tn circles ss a result of Mr Clark's coming here at a time when the to be placed on Beach st, near Kirby position of an advisory and supervisory board, rather than giving them new executive functions. At the close of the hearing Senator Chace, who was presiding, asked those in the room who were In favor of the recommendations of the special commission to stand. Everybody present rose, and there were no remonstrants. Police Commissioner O'Meara was the hearing and made some very pertinent suggestions relative to the ambiguity In and the enforcement of the antisplttlng law passed by the legislature last year. He said that the present law was absolutely worthless, as the police can escertain the name if the offender only from the man himself, and he can either give a fictitious name or give none at ail.

He suggested that the law be amanded to permit the arrest of any person violating the law without a warrant. He dtclared that the police in Boston have made a genuine attempt to enforce the law, but they have been handicapped by the fact that they have absolutely no law behind tehem. and what they have done has been whollv upon "bluff." The police department has elected to submit to the wholesale attacks of the Boston press in the matter rather than publish to the whole world the fact that they have no means of enforcing the law, but now that the matter is before a legislative commit r-n rally attacked by the ml-1 sarraraJ of the rvft-jbUcana.

A new game is being worked by thieves In the district, who are busying themselves in stealing slot telephone machines in the public telephone pay stations in the West Robury district and other parts of the city. Yesterday afternon a man of good appearance went into the store of Trueman T. Reil, 3101 Washington st, Egleston sq, and asked for the use of the telephone.

He was directed to the telephone booth at the rear of the store, and when he went out the telephone slot machine went with him. The less was not discovered until a woman went Into the booth to use the telephone some time later. The telephone was worth about $10, and how much money there might have been in it Mr Reid does not know. The superintendent of the telephone company reports to the police of division 13 that the same kind of game is being worked in various parts of the city, and that the Co lias lest quite a number of slot telephone machines from the booths of public pay stations.

ou (aca aaet tee he thought it could be remedied. He said he has the best legal authority for stating that no officer can make an arrest without warrant for misdemeanor unless the act specifying the misdemeanor specifically states that arrests may be made without warrant, and for that reason the police and their superiors have not cared to assume the responsibility for civil suits for false arrests. He said the act very carefully differentiates between railway- and railroad care and trains, in providing that no person shall spit in any car of a railroad train, except a smoking car, nor In any railway car. A difficulty has arisen in Boston over the classification of the smoking cars of the Boston Elevated, which he would like the legislature to arrange for him. Another cause of dispute has been the term "sidewalk." as laid down in the statute.

Offenders have been taken before the courts for spitting on the malls of the Common, but in the opinion of the court, under the definition of sidewalk given in the dictionary, these walks were not considered to be sidewalks, and the offender was dismissed, although spitting in such a place is even more reprehensible than In those places which the courts have held to be within the law.

He understood tax bills had been i eceipted by a rubber stamp with a facsimile of the signature of the formet collector, and that It might easily have ben used by anyone who had access to the collector's office. He offered an amendment that the whole matter ba referred to the selectmen, they to employ a dlstinterested accountant" to aui.it the books of the treasurer and collector of taxes. S. A.
