Lot special for this week. When Delegates Got to Wilkes-Barre They Were Arrested. Four United Mine Workers' relegates of Scranton entered Marcus Kline's eating house on East Broad street last evening and after eaiting a meal got Into an argument with the proprietor about their Mil, to which they objected, Claiming there was some mistake. The proprietor then grabbed the hats of the men, hoping to keep them here until the matter could be settled. The men left the place bare-headed and boarded their train for home haltless and filled with anger over the'ir treatment.

They were so mad at wings in general that they would not purchase headgear in the city preferring to go to Scranton bareheaded. It appears that an effort was made to arrest the men upon their arrival at Wilkes-Barre. Today's Wilkes-Bar-re News contains the following: "There was excitement at the Lehigh Valley Railroad depot at 9:15 last night When Adam Rescavage, vice president of District No. 1, and delegates Nicholas Burke, Richard Davis and Thomas Davis, of the returning delegates to the Hazleton convention of United Mine Workers, were placed under arrest by Officers Sauerwine, Jeff Ruddy and Sergeant Conroy. "A short time previous to the arrival of the train a message was received from Hazleton at police headquarters whi'Ch read as fonows: 'Chief of Police, Wilkes-Barre: Hold four men without hats.

Jumped board bill. Sam Roboski, The police were not slow in ferreting out the men without 'hats and they were dragged from the cars to the platform and later to lue police station. "Executive board members Court-right and Secretary Treasurer Demp-sey followed In the waKe of the crowd of a hundred who followed the prisoners to the city bastile. The charge of leaving a hoard bill unpaid was explained to them but they protested they did not know the sender of the message and did not stop at his hotel. The fact that they were hatless was explained.

A party of Hazleton delegates wanted them to remain over night and when they refused their hats were taken just as the train pull ed out. "Sergeant Conroy a few minutes later communicated with Hazleton by telephone and learned that there was no party named Dobroski conducting a hotel in Hazleton and that Rascav- age, one of the prisoners, had stopped at the Valley Hotel. It was plain then that the whole affair was the work of a joker and the four men were set at liberty. It is safe to say that the joker will hear from the victims if he is discovered."

New Municipal Position But With No Cost to the Taxpayers.

The permanent and stable organization cf the Builders' Exchange has aroused the contractors and builders of the city to the necessity of laws regulating the construction of buildings. Recently a resolution was passed in Councils instructing the City Solicitor and City Engineer to prepare an ordinance resulating the construction of building3 and establishing fire limits within the city. As yet no measure cf this nature has been presented and before any steps are taken in the matter it might be well for Councils to act on a suggestion made today by a prominent member of the Builders' Exchange. Tho member's suggestion i3 that Councils appoint a committee of its members to confer with a committtee from the Builders' Exchange and the City Solicitor and City Engineer with a view iO framing a set of laws that would conform with local conditions and result in satisfaction all around. The committee from the Builders' Exchange could turnish the committee of Councils with all the technical rules and regulations that must of necessity form part of any laws that are adopted.

The architects of the city could also be present at the meetings of the joint committee and furnish great aid in constructing effective building rules. It is likely that when the ordinance is passed it will provide for a building inspectorship, which will be a new municipal office and one that is now becoming indispensible and will be absolutely necessary in case the proposed laws are adopted by Councils. Taxpayers need not stand aghast at the creation of anotner position in the municipal government, as the office of building inspector will be self-supporting. The revenue for the remuneration of this officer will be derived from an assessment levied on each new building erected, the eon-tractor to be assessed according to the cost of the structure. The Builders' Exchange will take up the matter at the next meeting and a request to Councils for immediate action will be maae.

Next Alumni Dances. The next Alumni Club dances will be held at Hazle Park on September 12 and 21. Invitations will be issued next week. The dances thus far held have been very successful. Today's Pays.

Last Excursion of the Season. Tomorrow'3 low rate excursion to Glen Onoko will positively be the last conducted by the Lehigh Valley to that resort this season. If the weath er is favorable the excursion will no doubt be well pn.tronized. The Glen is an Ideal spot to spend a day in quiet manner. Bondholders Will Wait.

G. National and District Presidents Mine Workers To Go To New York. As soon as they collect all the data relating to alleged violation of con tracts at the various collieries and get such other Information as may be necessary National President Mitchell and District Presidents Thomas Duffy John Fahey and T. D. Nicholls will go to New York to arrange the prelimin aries' with the heads of the nine coal carrying railroads for bringing about a joint conference next spring between the operators and the United Mine Workers, neither one will commit himself it is believed that the visit to--the metropolis will be made some time during the coming week, probably on Tuesday.

The executive officers will not personally call on all the operators, believing thaUwhatever the presidents of the coal roads will do will be approved by the individual colliery owners. The executive officers will also lay before the coal officials the violations of contract that were reported at thi week's convention. They expect no difficulty and are hopeful of getting a promise tihat a conference will be held before the expiration of the present agreement. The next United Mine Workers' con vention, if a conference is secured will be held some time during the winter or early in the spring. It all depends on the attitude of the opera tors.

An effort was made today to get some sort of an expression from local coal company officials regarding the recommendations made and adopted at his week's convention but not one had anything to say.
