PET DOG SCARED THE THIEVES.
They Had Bored Holes Through
Mrs Nelson's Back Fence
She Thinks They Were Either After
the Parrot or Her Jewels.

Mrs Frederick Nelson, sister of
Frederick Gerhard Is undecided whether
the burglars who. she thinks, made sew
eral holes that were bored through the
back fence of her residence at 100 Fifth
avenue. were after her pet dogs, the
parrot or family jewels.
The fence was repaired this morning
and the police have beeN notified. but
still a close watch will be kept on the
dogs, the parrot will be confined to the
house. and little fox terrier that dis
covered noise made by the supposed bur
glars on Friday night and presumably
drove them away with his loud barking
will be rewarded with a new collar just
as soon as II Is cool enough to wear one.
The back fence OF the Nelson resi-
dence Is ten feet high and Is on the side
of a private alley that leads TO the rear
OF the New York Hospital. Within the
fence Is "A we'll kept yard that Is, the en-
elusive bailiwck of Mrs. Nelson's ken

that the southeast corner Is reserved for
the parrot.
The holes in the fence were made in
the northwest corner and We're bored
close together 80 that a kick would open

a burglar could have, had place large
enough to get his body through, and this
is Just what the Nelson household think
would have been done had not the

northern fence. commenced barking
about midnight between Friday and
Saturday. The bull pup with II white
ring around its tail Joined in the racket

Mrs. Nelson notified the police yes

THEY LOST ON TRAYS.


The twenty-five locked-out walters
formerly employed In the restaurant of
Samuel II. Everett. at
3Y Washington street. Brooklyn. who
'efused to accept II cut from $40 to S. a
week in their wages, held an informal
meeting this morning.
Several of the men declared that Mr..
Everett had made the cut in their wages
in order that he might hire non-union
men a. lower rate of wages than the
proposed cut They denied that they
had broken $500 worth of crockery in
three months, as alleged by Mr.. Everett t.
The men say they are confident that
the lockout will only last few days.
The locked-out men worked twelve
hours each day. They were all con-
sidered first class walters.
Saturday night Mr.. Everett told them
that hereafter the walters were to carry
dishes on trays instead of on their arms.
and as that necessitated more men he
would ir consequence have to reduce
their wages. The men then refused to
work for IS week and Mr.. Everett
discharged them.
When seen by an Evening World''
reporter this morning Mr.. Everett de-
clared he was hiring non-union men for
81 week, but admitted that he found
some difficulty in procuring good walters
at such wages.
