OTTO KEMP NEB SELECTS PARKER 1ST, COtER 20. His Favorites for the Gubernatorial Steeplechase of Next November. Comment of London Papers on the Presi dent's Speech. "London, August 25 The newspapers here are taking time to digest President Roose velt's views on trusts and there has been little comment on the subject thus far. The Evening Standard considers that his dennl tion of the position the combinations ought to occupy "is precisely what is expectable or a man of the President temperate, log! cal mind," and adds that the "suggestion of governmental supervision of capitalistic rinjs Is admirable in theory, although It Is not easy to surmise how it can be made operative.

The Pall Mall Gazette remarks: "President Roosevelt's pronouncement leaves no doubt that he intends at least to scotch some ot the enterprises which are deleterious to the general com miinlty. At the same time he Is too wise to ignore the fact that the tendency of com merce is in the direction of a concentration of forces and that this force needs guidance and not blind opposition. ROOSEVELT TO VISIT FAR WEST. San Francisco', August 25 Senator A. G.

Former State Secretary Reitz May Be come Leader of the Irreconcilables. Brussels, August 25 The Boer generals have notified the employes of the Transvaal legation that their services will no longer be required after the end of September, when the legation will be abolished. When they conferred with Dr. Leyds last week the generals suggested the desirableness of his surrender of his position as representative of the former TranBvaal Republic, and on the disappearance of Dr. Leyds it is thought probable that former State Secretary Reltz will become leader of the irreconcilables and attempt to organize an anti British campaign in Europe.

OHfO LEGISLATURE CONVENES. Called in Extra Session to Provide for Governing Cities and Defining Powers of Supreme Court.

Columbus, Ohio, August 25 The Ohio Legislature convened at 3 P. M. to day in extraordinary session to enact laws to provide for the government of municipalities and to restore lost jurisdiction to the Supreme Court, these matters having been made chaotic by the action of that court in the early summer. After roll call the governor's message, accompanied by a municipal code hill, prepared under the direction of the chief executive, was received. Following this resolutions were offered on the death of William Bell, former Secretary of State, and at the time of his death a member of the House.

Adjournment was then, taken. In his message Governor Nash first calls attention to the act passed last May, depriving the Supreme Court of nearly all appellate jurisdiction formerly possessed by the court. The repeal of the act is recommended. Continuing, the message says: "During the last days of June the Supreme Court of the state handed down several decisions which practically deprive our municipal corporations of all government. It is apparent that this is an extraordinary occasion which needs a remedy at the earliest possible moment.

Constitutional government must be restored to our cities and villages. The labor demanded of us is not so much a work of construction as of readjustment." KILLED BY ST. LOTJIS CAR. Mrs. Hopkins a Widow of Diplomatic Minister and Born a Marchioness.

NO GARBAGE ON SHORES. Seaside Visitors Thank Commissioner Woodbury for Order Prohibiting Using Sea as Dump. Since the beginning of the summer there has been no dumping of garbage at sea, and the results are apparent, not only to the residents of the seaside resorts, but to the casual observer as well. Where before the shores of the beaches at the nearby seaside resorts were littered with garbage and other refuse washed in by the incoming tide, the beaches are now only littered with the natural drift grass. The idea of doing away with the dumping of garbage at sea originated with Commissioner Woodbury, and it was at his order that the sea dumping was stopped during the summer months and the nearby beaches kept clean.

When asked about the results of this summer's trial of non dumping, Commissioner Woodbury called attention to a mass of letters upon his desk from residents at nearby resorts, hotel proprietors and others thanking the Commissioner for his successful efforts in preventing the pollution of the beaches by refuse and garbage. Commissioner Woodbury is well satisfied with the results shown so far, and ventured the suggestion that a tour of inspection of all of the beaches near New York would show that little if any garbage was being washed in. According to the orders of the Commissioner, no garbage can be dumped at sea, and the only drift garbage there may be is the refuse which does not come in to the department, but may be thrown from steamers or from the seaside hotels. From the letters received at the Commissioner's office it is evident that seldom if ever before has there been So little garbage washed up on the shore as has been washed up this year. WOODBURY IN NO HURRY.

The Row Over the Proposed Stable May Cause Only Delay for Brooklyn, He Says. Street Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury is non committal about the location of hia stable In the Borough of Brooklyn and for the present he is willing to wait and allow the members of the opposition time to talk themselves out. The Commissioner, when seen this morning, steadfastly' refused to enter into any controversy with the residents of the district in which he proposes to place the stable. Equally careful was he to refrain from making known the progress of the work on the plans for the stable. Since the announcement by Commissioner Woodbury of the selection "of the site for the stable for the Borough ot Brooklyn, there has been a continual storm of protest against the erection of the building on the ground that the value of the property in the district would be depreciated.

Commissioner Woodbury does not hold the same pessimistic opinion of the matter that the residents of the district do, and he believes that the site selected is the best for the purpose intended. Alderman Mclnnes, in whose district it is proposed to locate the stable, only last week declared that if the Commissioner continued In his determination1 to place the stable in the district he (Mclnnes) would use every effort in the Board of Aldermen to hold up the appropriation for the stable. It was expected that this statement of the Alderman would call forth a reply from the Street Cleaning Commissioner, but when a reporter called upon Commissioner Woodbury this morning and asked about the stable the Commissioner replied that he had no quarrel with Alderman Mclnnes. "If the money is held up, won't you have to wait a long time for your stable?" queried the reporter. "No, indeed," replied the Commissioner, "I won't have to wait.

It is the people of Brooklyn who will have to wait. You know the old saying of Milton: 'They also serve who only watch and Well, apply that in this case." "Then you do not intend to press this location for the stable?" asked the reporter. "I did not say that. For the present I think it best to let matters take their course and not to anticipate what may happen. For the present I am concerned with the next step toward securing the money for the stable and when that is secured I will take up the other matters.

I think that you will find that when the stable is completed the people of Brooklyn will be well satisfied. They will be pleased with the stable, they will be pleased with Alderman Mclnnes, and I trust that they may be pleased with myself." WAGES OF OPERATORS RAISED. St. Paul. August 25 Four hundred telegraph operators, one half the force employed by the Northern Pacific road, will get a raise of salary September 1.

Fire Chief Calls in Obedience to Order of Commissioner Sturgis.

In accordance with Fire Commissioner Stur gls' order "relieving" him from duty and ordering him to report every Monday morning for instructions. Chief 'ot the. Fire Department Croker called at Fire Headquarters this morning and reported. He asked for Mr. Sturgls, but the had not yet arrived.

Private Secretary Breitweiser, however, told Chief Croker that Mr. Sturgis had no instructions for him. The chief then visited his office and after a short conversation with his clerk left headquarters, saying he would not wait lor the Fire Commissioner, but would go down town. BOSTON RABBI FELL FROM CAR. The Rev.

Moses Safersohn, a Boston rabbi, 48 years old, was painfully injured yesterday afternoon while attempting to alight from a moving car at Broadway and Walton street. He was on a visit to. friends in the Sixteenth Ward section and was with them when he met with the accident. He was cut about the head and his injuries were dressed by Dr. Lii brecht of the Wllllamsburgh Hospital.

Friends of the injured man refused to permit him to be taken to the. hospital and he was hurried from the scene before the police could Investigate a rumor that he had been pushed from the car by some rowdies. WOMAN STEPPED OVER A CLIFF. Rescued by Young Man When Three Feet From the Edge of a Precipice. Mont Eagle, August 25 At Forest Point Saturday night about midnight Miss Vinnie Tucker, a prominent young woman of Decherd and one of a party on a mountain trip, stepped over a cliff.

Sidney Cowan, a young Nashville man, sprang to her rescue. He caught her, but too late to prevent her fall, being dragged over the edge of the precipice, the two going down together and landing on the incline, thirty five or forty feet below. Though Cowan was badly shaken up, he was still conscious, and as his body rolled down the ledge he caught on a bush, which stayed his progress. Miss Tucker, bleeding and unconscious, was falling in the path he had come. As she passed he caught and held her, their flight ending three feet, from the edge of a 300 foot drop.

To have gone over would have meant Instant death. Their companions quickly organized a rescue party, descending to the ledge by a narrow, circuitous path. Cowan was found clutching the girl's clothing In one hand and a clump of bushes in the other. Miss Tucker was insensible. ARMORY CASE ADJOURNED.

Argument on Motion to Confirm the Condemnation Proceedings to Be Heard September 2. Justice Cochrane, sitting in the Supreme Court, special term, this morning, adjourned the argument of the motion to confirm the report of commissioners in condemnation proceedings for Troop Armory site. It will be heard on September 2. When the matter came up before Justice Cochrane this morning Lawyer Flannery appeared for Commissioners William McLaughlin and John Pyburn and asked that the majority report be confirmed. Assistant Corporation Counsel Coombs opposed and asked that the city be given an adjournment for two weeks.

Mr. Coombs did not. hesitate in saying that.it was the intention of tho Corporation Counsel to fight the confirmation of the report on the ground that it was excessive in its award. He held that it was a very important matter to the city that there were two awards, one of $56,000 made by Commissioners McLaughlin and Pyburn and the other of $43,500 made by Commissioner Desmond Dunne as a minority report. The city thought that both awards were too high, but wanted two weeks to investigate the matter in order that no mistake might be made in the matter.

Lawyer Flannery said that the confirmation of. the report by the Supreme Court would not interfere with whatever the Corporation Counsel might do and he believed it to he important enough to have the award confirmed at once. Justice Cochrane, however set the matter down for September 2, when the motion to confirm will be formally made. CROWDS AT NORTH BEACH. (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L.

The boilermakers at the Morse Iron Works did not quit work this morning, as their helpers who are on strike had hoped they would.

The blacksmiths, who were the first to go out. are still on strike, but the big works are running just as though there had been no trouble, apparently. Many of the boilermakers' helpers have returned to work and others have been hired to take the places of others still out. ALLEGED PIGEON THIEVES HELD. In the Manhattan avenue police court this morning, Edward Damm, 18 years old, of 225A Palmetto street, and George.

Every man wore an outing hat which was given to him at the club house, and a pretty badge bearing the picture of the leader of 'the Regulars, ex Councilman William A. Doyle. iuwc ivcie. over i.uuu men in me crown, and nearly all of them are voters in the Seventh Assembly District. The outing proper did not begin until after 11 o'clock.

The followers of ex Councilman Doyle were invited to be at the club house at 8 o'clock and many of them were there at that hour, but they kept coming until nearly 11. One band was oh time and the second was only an hour late. When it arrived the two promptly snubbed each other, but thereafter there was harmony except when both wanted to play at once. When the third arrived from Coney Island, heading a delegation of over 500 of the unterrified, it couldn't exactly see where it was needed, but was soon given a place in the line up of the army of voters. Thirty five districts were headed by their respective captains and marched six abreast to the dock.

They boarded the steamer shortly after 11 and immediately began the consumption of the cigars on board. Breakfast was not had until they got to Colleg Point, about an hour after schedule time.

"Stapleton gave away tickets to his out ing," said one of the Doyle lieutenants today, "and got everybody he nossibly could to go, hut he didn't have anything like this crowd. This is just about a true.

indication of the strength of the Regular Democratic Association as compared to his Bay RidgO Democratic Club." Leader Doyle was, of course, the. lion of the occasion, although he modestly kept himself in the background as far as the crowd allow him. His followers were re Jolclug oyer the acquisition of a good many Republicans and more Democrats who have, not until lecently allied themselves with either of the factions in the district.

Coal Policeman Stabbed While Rescuing Son From Mob at Starting of Colliery in Hazleton. Shenandoah, August 25 Much Importance is attached to the calls General Gobin receives from coal mine operators, who spend hours with the general in going over the strike situation.

After having met a number of operators General Gobin said today that he does not see any signs of a settlement. In fact, he states that all indications point more definitely to a prolongation of the strike now than they did when he first reached here. He keeps In touch with the strikers, as well as the operators, and may be seen daily riding over the hills with members of his staff. Along the road he frequently holds conversations with miners, all of whom display a friendly feeling toward him There is no 111 feeling here against the soldiers and the military has become so popular that a mqvement has been set afoot to start a company in this town. Individual operators are beginning to display evidence of a willingness to end the strike if a method could be shown to them how they could make concessions to the men without stultifying themselves.

In speaking with members of the staff at brigade headquarters some have within the past few days stated that if a way could be suggested whereby they could, give in without placing themselves in a bad light they would favor a settlement. General Gobin is using his good ofllces toward a settlement, and he allows no opportunity to pass, when in conference with operators, to make a conservative plea for the men on strike. Mob Attacks a Policeman. Hazleton, August 25 August Sheuch, aged 56 years, a special policeman in the service of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, was assaulted and stabbed on the outskirts of the city to day while attempting to rescue his son, William, a non union workman employed at the company's No. 40 colliery, from a mob of about 3,000 strikers who had gathered from all parts of the Hazleton region on the roads leading to the mine to frustrate the plans of the company to resume operations with a non union force of 250 hands.

A majority of the non union men were taken to the workings in a special train, with which the strikers did not attempt to interfere. William Sheuch, who lives in this city, walked from his home toward the colliery and thus fell into the hands of the pickets. Most the clothing was torn from his back in the struggle which followed. When Sheuch's father rushed to his aid the mob set upon the elder Sheuch, who was finally rescued by a mine foreman and removed to the miners' hospital. Sheuch was stabbed in the breast and on each hip, kicked in the abdomen and struck on the head with a stone.

His injuries are not serious. The knife sunk into his breast, struck a rib and that fact probably saved his life. The to prevent work at the mine was successful. The report of a resumption at the Cranberry colliery of A. Pardee Co.

caused about 500 men to gather near the mine today, but no attempt was made to start work. Mine Boss Held for Shooting. Pottsville, August 25 George Wheat ley, an outside foreman at the Brookside colliery of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, is under $1,000 bail uiicii ecu Willi miuouug ijeorge oearer, agea ly years, of Tower City. Wheatley says he was followed through the streets by a orowd of strikers and their sympathizers who jeered and booted him. Becoming enraged he drew "a revolver and fired into the crowd.

The bullet took effect in Searer's leg. Wheatley has been a mine boss for a number of years. Can't Get Miners to Work. Tamaqua, August 25 Not since the inauguration of the anthracite coal miners' strike have the United Mine Workers had so many pickets patrolling the Panther Creek Valley as was the case to day. Every road and path leading to the collieries was guarded in an effort to persuade the nonunion men not to go to work.

No new recruits were added to the working force and quite a number were turned back. The extra vigilance was due to the rumor that it is the intention of Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company to mine coal as soon as sufficient, men can be secured. An official of the company admitted to day that practical miners are hard to procure and that none of the coal companies is able to operate any of the mines for this reason. Coke Keeps Mills Running. Sharon, August 25 The coke situation in this valley has been relieved to such an extent that it is not likely that any of the blast furnaces here or at Sharpsvllle will be obliged to close down for several days.

A prominent furnace operator said, to day that the trouble is not with the railroads, but with the coke manufacturers, who are sending their product to the East to relieve the shortage caused by the anthracite strike. Sufficient coke was received here yesterday to keep all the stacks in operation for seventy two hours at least, and the operators are hopeful that before the supply is exhausted the conditions will have changed for the better. BOARD OF HEALTH MUST ACT. Magistrate Naumer Refers Cow Case Back for Action Will Allow No Shirking. Edward Leber, a dairyman of 27 Glenmore avenue, whose neighbors have had him haled to court frequently for keeping cows, was in the Gates avenue court again this morning on complaint of Manuel Gettinger of 300 Sackman street, who charged that Leber maintained cows In an open lot on Christopher street.

A similar case against Leber was heard in the Court of Special Sessions recently and when it was disposed of application was made to Justice Gaynor for an injunction against Leber, which was denied. Since then Leber's neighbors appealed to the Board of Health and, according to a statement made to Magistrate Naumer this morning, was referred to the police courts. "The Board of Health is not going to shirk any part of its duties if I can help it," remarked the magistrate when he heard liiis. "I will refer this matter back to the board for action." RESCUED, BUT DIED ANYHOW. About noon yesterday Edward Granney of 88 Bergen street and John McGowan, keeper of the bath at the foot of Noble street, saw a man struggling in the water off Milton street.

They rescued him, but he died before the arrival of Ambulance Surgeon Doyle of the Eastern District Hospital. The man proved to bo William Foster, a boilermaker, of Blissville, Queens County. The police think that he fell into the water while sleeping on a stringpiei. e. Others believe that ho committed suicide as he had been despondent, they had been acting peculiarly for a few days.

FELL ACROSS A BUZZ SAW. Tony Johnson, 30 years old, ot 317 Seventeenth street, while at work in the carpenter shop of Andrew Mortenson at 513 Hamilton avenue, this morning, fell across buzz saw and was cut on thecheek and lips. Surgeon Lowery removed him to the Seney Hospital. No Less Than Five Owners Separated From Their Golden Timepieces Yesterday. DETECTIVES MADE NO ARRESTS.

One Victim Guarded His Watch, but Not a Ten Dollar Bill He Was Relieved Of. The twenty two carat fine detectives who form the force of Captain Reynolds did not arrest any pickpockets yesterday, but for all that the light fingered fraternity were out in Xo less than five gold watches were reported to the local police as having been stolen by pickpockets 'during the day, and the chances are that there were other robberies of the same kind, information of which will reach the knowledge of the authorities in a day or two. The rascals were all over and they found a 'fruitful field among the throngs that gathered at the Sunday outing centers. Trolley travel has been a godsend to the pickpockets of New York and the vicinity this summer, and the way that the people crowd every public resort on fine Sundays is a fine help to the thieves. There was one robbery that is known of at the much execrated "loop" just beyond the Manhattan junction.

All day yesterday there were throngs on the platform at the loop and downstairs, where passengers are forced to take the surface cars for Cypress Hills and Jamaica. Captain Reynolds has been in the habit of sending a man or two men to the loop on Sundays, but apparently there was no detective there yesterday. The only known victim, so far, was Gustave Huhn of 1,032 DeKalb avenue, who got into the human maelstrom on. the elevated platform there and was swirled around in it until he found himself on a train bound for Gates avenue and Broadway. It was at Gates avenue that he thought he would look at his watch.

Bui it vta; not in his pocket. The chain was dangling down from its security in a button hole, but an adroit thief had stolen the watch. Huhn is quite sure: that it was filched from him while he was in the awful push at the loop. Patrick Mclnerney of 70 Wilson street would have been in a very fine gold watch if he had stayed at. home and read the.

Eagle yesterday. He lost his while riding on a Franklin avenue car. William Ward of 1,229 St. Marks avenue was another of the victims of the Sunday crowds. He hustled for a seat on a trolley car at the Culver depot on Coney Island and congratulated himself that he had done very well.

But a thief had been in the jostling crowd and Mr. Ward's gold watch was his ready prey. Mr. Ward did not miss the timepiece until, after getting on the car, he sought to find out what his clock had to say about the advance of the afternoon. William Gauss of 424 Sixth street lost his watch in a crowd at the Smith street depot in the afternoon.

There was a emblem attached to the chain and that' tempted the thief, too. for it was also stolen. John Shiner of 315 Glenmore avenue was strolling along the Bowery or. Coney Island yesterday, when some one directed his attention to the fact that his watch chain was loose. There was no watch at the end of it.

A thief had taken it, but it was of silver and his loss was not so great as that of the others. It is known that a number of watches have been stolen in the borough of late and that pickpockets, who are believed to come from the East Side of Manhattan, have been reaping a harvest. The new generation of pickpockets which infests the East Side is thoroughly qualified for the business. They are nearly all youngsters, and so adroit are they in their work that it would almost seem that they were graduates from some college of thievery. The elevated trains and trolley cars in Brooklyn have been a ready field for them.

Summer night festivals at the suburban, and parks have brought them in much loot. It is only a few days since Alexander S. Cook, one of the Republican leaders in the Twenty first Assembly District and a prominent member of the fraternity, was robbed on his way from Bath" Beach in one of the elevated trains. He did not report his loss to the police, like many another man so situated, but his experience taught him. a lusson.

He was in a crowded train on the elevated road after It had left the Union depot, when he noticed a suspicious looking character standing near him. "Aha!" exclaimed the cautious Cook. "That fellow is a pickpocket. I'd better look out for my watch." He did. He wore no vest, and his timepiece was in the fob pocket.

Mr. Cook pushed his index finger and thumb into his pocket and held his watch safely enough. No crook could take that away from him. But he had some money in the trousers pocket immediately under thf watch pocket and the slick thief managed to get that away from Mr. Cook without the owner's knowledge.

It was only after the suspected crook had left the train that Mr. Cook, making an examination of his assets, discovered a shortage of a $10 bill. There had been $13 in that 'pocket, but the thief did not get the three. Mr. Cook had $250 in the inside pocket of his coat, but that, too.

was safe. MCLAUGHLIN ON DECK AGAIN. Inspector Says Retirement From Police Force Is Far From His Thoughts. Inspector P. H.

McLaughlin, in charge ot the uniformed force in this borough, was in his office, at 16 Smith street, this morning, looking remarkably well for a man who has been reported as off on sick leave and on the verge of physical collapse. Indeed, he declared this morning that there was nothing further from his thoughts than the idea of retiring from active police service. "I am just as well as ever I was now," ho said to a reporter of tjte Eagle, "and I think I am better equipprjfSrhan I ever was for police duty. You Know as a man's experience grows his professional value is bound to increase; that is, as is well. And I must say that I never felt better or more capable of performing the work of the department.

I like the work and I do not purpose getting out of the business. I have been a policeman nearly all my life and the duties of my office are congenial to me. There is no disposition, I think, on the part of any one to force me out, and I must say that 1 was never better treated in my life by any administration than I have been by the present one. Indeed, for the past year things have been made exceedingly pleasant for me. 1 have no complaint to make of the way that I have been treated sinoo the present Commissioner and his deputy took charge.

Things are so congenial Just now that I would be a fool to ask for retirement. "Lot me tell you," concluded the inspector, "that I have no notion of getting out. I will stay in the business lust as long as I am given health and strength to do the work. And I do not think that there is any disposition to force me out." MAINE BACK AT SHIPYARD.

Race, and Hopes for Party Victory. Assistant Public Works Commissioner Otto Kempner returned' from Asbury Park, where he has been spending his vacation, last night and was at his office in the Municipal Building this morning. Mr. Kempner returns in prime condition to commence the fight for the Democratic leadership in the Twentieth Assembly District, for which there are two other contestants. Mr.

Kempner Bald this morning that he expected to capture a majority of the delegates to the state and the local conventions and that he expected to be a delegate to the former. Mr. Kempner is being opposed for the leadership by two WilloughbJ 4 street Democrats, and, the fight being a three cornered one, Mr. Kempner believes that he will have no trouble in winning out. Mr.

Kempner spoke rather freely with an Eagle reporter this morning regarding the Democratic gubernatorial situation. In the course of his remarks he said that he believed that the strongest candidate that the Democrats could nominate is Judge Alton B. Parker. Next to Justice FarKer, Mr. Kempner says he believes that former Controller Coler would make the best and most available candidate.

He said he thought the latter would prove an excellent vote getter. Mr. Kempner does not regard Edward M. Shepard as a gubernatorial possibility. Speaking of Mr.

Shepard's candidacy, Mr. Kempner said: "I think that Mr. Shepard If elected would make the ablest governor that ever occupied that office, but at this particular juncture I do not think he would make a strong candidate. I think that Mr. Shepard's candidacy for Mayor and his association with Tammany Hall would seriously hurt him throughout the state." The Commissioner said he had no doubt that if the proper man is chosen the Democrats can elect their candidate for governor.

"I want to see the party win this fall," said Mr. Kempner, "and I expect to see it win. I think that the best candidate who could be nominated is Chief Judge Parker. There is a strong sentiment In favor of his nomination, and I believe he could carry the state without any trouble. "Of course, there is a difference of opinion as to the fairness of the proposition to ask a man to 'give up his Judicial career In which he has distinguished himself, but I think there is a strong Inducement for him in the Democratic nomination for Governor this fall.

I think his brilliant record on the bench and his freedom from factional differences in politics would remove all element of risk from his candidacy. "If Judge Parker cannot be induced to accept the nomination, I think the next best man is former Controller Coler," continued Mr. Kempner. "But even leaving aside consideration of the names of Judge Parker and Mr. Coler, I think there are a number of other prominent Democrats who could carry the state this fall." "Even taking into consideration the fact that Governor pdell has made a good record as an executive?" suggested the reporter.

"There are some differences of opinion as to Governor Odell's record," replied Mr. Kempner. He added that he was pleased to note the disposition among Democrats of all shades of opinion to harmonize under the leadership of former Senator Hill. Mr. Kempner said that he was going to win out at the primaries, that he would be present at the convention as a delegate, and that he would support the party nominee whoever he is.

Residents of the Nineteenth Ward, In the neighborhood of Hewes and Hodper streets, are agitated over plans which have been recently proposed to establish a cheap lodging house in their midst. The four story yellow brick building at Harrison ave. and Hooper street, which was erected several years ago as a high class apartment house, changed hands a few days ago and its present owner, a man named Snyder, engaged in the saloon business on Broadway, immediately took steps to establish a Raines law hotel. He was thwarted in his endeavor to get the necessary consent from property owners In the immediate vicinity and it Is understood that men representing him sounded the residents as to their views on Raines law hotels. There waa unanimity of feeling that no resort of a questionable nature should be allowed In the neighborhood.

Snyder has declared that if he is allowed to conduct a hotel it will be up to a standard to satisfy the most exacting, but If he Is unsuccessful in securing enough names to his petition he will convert the building Into a lodging house. POSTMASTER ROBERTS' LUNCH. Postmaster George Roberts thought this morning that he' had been sent a complimentary package of smoked v'f to try for a little lunch. Ho was pleased with the little gift.
