Building Trades Lockout Not Nearly
Large Expected.

CHICAGO. April 12.-The lockout of
building trades which occurred today
was not so general as was expected, not
more than 10000 men being thrown out
of work. The boss builders claimed
that 10000 employees would be affected,
but there was lack of harmony among
the employees and the lockout was not
general.
The working men claimed that the
movement is a complete failure and
many of the boss builders are of. the
same opinion, but others say the lockout
will become general before the week is
over

complete suits. In order to do this they

He Makes All the Excuses Possible for

WASHINGTON, April ~. - General
Weaver spoke to an audience of about
800 or 1000 people here yesterday after
noon, composed of Republicans, Demo-
Gratis and the remnant of the Populist
party in this county. His preliminary
remarks consisted of a review of his
former life, including all possible and
passable excuses for belonging to so
many different parties during his past
career.
The trend of his address was toward
free silver and beyond this the famous
general did not in the main venture a
suggestion or a wish to return to the
vagaries and whims of the third party in
its platform two years ago.
Taken altogether, the speech was ex-
ceedingly tame, compared with that
which he delivered here four years ago.

Attorney Lewis Jones is not only
sp8rrer before the legal bar. but quite
an athlete in fact. He became involved
in a dispute at the race track last Sat-

little too liberal in giving vent to his
opinions. A special officer named Mul-
doom interfered. and Was rewarded for
his official conduct by sound drubbin e
at the hands of the irate lawyer. Dan
OConnor came to the rescue of the
worsted special, but, as stated, Jared
no better. and even Chief of Police
Clark, it is said, could not get the mas
terry of the belligerent Finally the
officers combined forces and subdued
their man. and he was put under arrest.
Jones gave $50 bonds and appeared in
the police court yesterday.
Jones is going TO fight the case to the
bitter end, claiming that the city police
had no right to interfere. as tho fair
grounds are outside the city limits and
therefore out of their jurisdiction. The
case was continued until next Thurs
day, and Mr.. Jones threatens to bring a
suit for illegal arrest.
