President Yerkes opened the conference
with an offer to correct the present system
of hours as far as possible. An agreement
was reached on this point but when the
wage question was taken up: the men in
sisted on % cents per hour for grip men,
% cents for trial and grip
conductors and % cents for horse
car men. Yerkes offered 20 cents
for horse car men and 81 cents for grip car
men. The strikers refused to make any
concession and after much argument the
conference broke up A committee Of the
West Side car men was waiting to learn
the result and when failure to reach an
agreement was reported, the chairman
said a strike would be ordered and hurried
away.
A committee of the strikers waited upon
the mayor early in the evening to COM
plain about the retention of special detect
ives to guard the company's barns. These
specials, they argued, were menace to
life, and also denied that they were needed
by the company ''The city police" said
their chairmen, 'can give Mr.. Yerkes all
the protection he needs and while they are

any serious outbreaks. " The committee

Iicemen. 1t is said this morning that the

In anticipation of a long struggle, and
to guard against possible outbreaks, the
police force is to be greatly increased.
About $50 applications for places on the
force are on file in the superintendent's
office, and word has been sent to all the
night men to report for duty today. A
large force of patrolmen will be distributed
over the west side to look after the railroad
property there.

OPEN WAR.
Supt. Nagle Draws His Revolver on the
Crowd and is Roughly Handled.

CHICAGO, Oct. "a disturbance more
serious than on the North Side marked the
ending of the trip on the West Side cars
this evening, "A dense mob INSTRUCTED the
police laden cars on Halstead street
Nothing serious happened until the cars
were approaching the western terminus
on the return The crowd surged around
the cars in such compact mass that it
was impossible for the horses to move. A
platoon of police with clubs forced way
for the leading car but the one following
was brought to stop. A wooden wedge
had been suddenly inserted in the
Western avenue switch by one OF
the mob. Superintendent Nagle was the
driver of the car He seemed to be the
object of special interest from the strikers
and their sympathiZers. In a moment
after the car stopped the vicinity was a
pandemOnium. Stones were hurled at the
car and the air rang with yells and curses.
A flying brick caught the superintendent
in the stomach. Uttering an oath he
pulled revolver from his pocket and
turned toward the crowd. The conductor,
Harris, who had been discharged from by
the company for the same cause long pre-
vious to the strike, but reemployed
in the emergency, quickly followed the
example of the superintendent. The sharp
the signal for an unexpected incident.
Police Lieutenant Shea was seen to grasp
Maggie and by main strength force the
pistol from him. You On fool, what do
you mean?" blurted out the lieutenant.
Harris was disarmed with as little cere-
mony. Maggie left the car, and when off
his guard for moment received a stun
ming blow in the jaw from heavy-built
man. who was under the influence of
liouOr but none the less powerful
for that A general scrimmage ensued in
which Nagle and his assailant were rough
ly handled The latter, a Chicago &
Northwestern switchman named John
Gleason. had to be dubbed and then sat
upon in the patrol wagon by n half dozen
policemen before he could be subdued.
Others were scarcely less determined and
but for the fact that all appeared to be I'M
armed the fray would scarcely have been
finished without the sacrifice of number
of lives. So far as learned no one on either
side was INJURED dangerously.

DESTRUCTION OF AN HISTORIC
BUILDING.

New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 9.-Workmen
began last week demolishing the old Unit
ed States court building on Royal, between
Dumane and st. Philip streets. This was
one of the public buildings turned over by
the French at the transfer of Louisiana in
1903, and was occupied as the
United States district court house
for great many years. In this
building Judge Dumaine O. Hall sat
when he issued the bench warrant for the
arrest of General Jackson for contempt of
court in refusing to obey writ of habeas
corput, and here the victorious general
was brought by the United States marshal
to answer therefor He was hned $1,000
by the presiding judge, filled out his
check and passed it over to the clerk and
was discharged. The building was small
and not suited for the growing city,
and 1926 President John Quincy
Adams ordered it's sale at auction. 1t was
bought in by the Chevalier Louis d Aquin.
1t has had five owners since. On August
6, 1888, Henry Pfeiffer purchased it. When
the property ceased to be court house it
was transformed into a school house by a
party by the name of Janin. Charles
Watrigsnt then occupied it as a furniture
store for over forty years. Mr.. Pfeiffer
will Immediately commence the erection
of two-story brick building, to be used

SAVANNAH, Ga, Oct. 9-Ata meeting of
the newspaper men of this city held today
it was resolved to raise fund for the
benefit of the family of the late Edward
Martin, editor of the Jacksonville, Fla,
Times-Union, who died in that city Sun
day of yellow fever. His sense Of duty to
his paper was the only consideration
which influenced him in remaining at his
post. For sixteen years he had been con-
nected with the editorial and mechanical
departments of the daily and weekly jour
nails. His case therefore appeals to men
men in every branch of newspaper work.
Every newspaper Office in the country is
requested to raise a fund among its men
and remit at the earliest date convenient
to j. H. Ostill, chairman of the Martin

A BLOW TO MORMONISM.
Uncle Sam Wins Victory in the Courts.

SALT LAKE, Utah Ter, Oct. 9.-The su-
preme court Of Utah today entered final
| Judgment and decree in the case of the
United States against the Mormon church
which was pending to dissolve the church
corporation and have its property declared
escheated to the government. The suit
was brought about in the supreme court
of the territory under the act of congress
of February 10, 1887. In that suit re-
| ceiyer was appointed for the church cor
| poration. He succeeded in collecting
| over s., 200 900 worth of property,
| real and personal The decree entered
| today is a complete triumph for the gov
eminent. 1t declares the corporations OF
the church dissolved, ascertains that the
| voluntary religious sect now in existence
has no right to the corporate property, ex-
cept the temple block and buildings,
which are set aside to it. 1t denies the in
PREVENTION of a large number of individu-
ais claiming the property, orders the real
estate of the corporation to be held by the
receiver until the information for the for
feiture for the same brought by the gov
eminent, can be brought to conclusion,
and it declares all of the personal property
of the late corporation to have become es-
cheated to the government. This point was
the one most bitterly fought, as the proper
ty of the church was claimed on be-
half of the Incorporated Mormon sect as
the successor in interest OF the late corpor-
alton and by individuals who were mem
bers of the corporation, who interviewed on
behalf of themselves and all others, men,
bers Of the corporation. Upon the evil
dence the court decided thai neither the
present church nor individuals had any
legal claims; that all of the property had
been held upon trusts, the objects of which
were principally to uphold polygamy, and
that these trusts were the only ones
existing to which said property
could be devoted. 1t furthermore
decided that the present church still up
holds, teaches and maintains polygamy,
and that any dedication of property to it
would be for the purpose Of unfolding
polygamy, and would be unlawful. After
exhaustive evidence the court declares the
property to belong to the government by
operation of law. Defendants have taken
the case to the supreme court of the United
States, where it will be contested.

ABUSING FRANKING PRIVILEGES.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The postoffice in
spectors are engaged in investigating sew
eral complaints that have been received of
the improper use of the Thanking privilege.
Department officials say that it is difficult
to discover abuses of this character, as
they have no right to open mail matter
unless fraud exists. One of the officials.
in speaking of the inevitable abuse of
this privilege, said that the entire sys-
tenn ought to be abolished. He IA
vored the substitution of an an
nual appropriation giving to each
member of congress a certain amount
of money to be used to pay the postage.
The stationery of the members is supplied
in this way, he explained, and he thought
that some provision should be made for
the postage. A large proportion of the
matter now sent out by members of con-
gress is official, and yet it did not come
within the provisions of the franking law
The entire abolition of the franking privi-
lege, with the substitution of an allow
ance for postage, it is believed. would not
only be to the advantage of congressman,
but it would greatly benefit the service.
