ARE OFFERED 4 BUILDING
Labor Bureaus Prospects Brighten
ing and Success Assured.
Carpenters Assemblies Proposed
Union-Other Organizations Meet
and Receive Reports.

A largely-attended meeting of the Labor
Bureau was held In The Times building
last evening, Mr.. N. C. sprague In the chair.
The committee on rules suggested that
as the question of the establishment of
the bureau must be referred back TO the
local assemblies for Endorsement it would
be better TO await their action before
formulating rules and regulations. This
suggestion was acqulesed in and the com
mittee continued.
The committee on site and building re-
ported that they had found q building,
centrally located, which in their opinion
would suit the requirements. 1t was large
enough tn accommodate all the local bodies
as place OF meeting. and with some little
alterations and Improvement could be
made suitable for the Bureau and Work
ingmans Library
The building, they were Informed, could
be either leased or purchased. 1t was
calculated that it would be much better for
the locals to combine and rent this building as
the rental would not amount to as much AS
the locals are now paying in the aggregate.
If this were done the Bureau and Library
Hall would, practically, be obtained free OF
rent. 1t is understood that the building can
be bought mt a low figure.
The meeting adjourned to meet on Mon
day next in The Times building.

CRITICISED MR.. THOMAS.
Anti-SalOon League Takes Exceptions
to His Recent Ruling.


TO His Recent Ruling.
Attorney Thomas was severely criticised
by the Anti-saloon League at its meeting
last night on account of his recent opinion
Of the excise law in which he holds
that newly located hotels within 400 feet
OF a public school-house, private school, or
house OF religious worship, can receive
liquor licenses under the amended excise
law.
The members of the League expressed
themselves quite freely on the subject
and the sense Of the meeting was that
such licenses cannot lawfully be granted
in view of the preliminary provision of
section 16 as amended, which reads:
THAT license for any of the purposes
specified in any section Of said act SHALL
not be granted"

At that time there was $250 In the bank and SIS, 900 on deposit in oth- sr banks. In view of this Bank Commis- sioner Crofut asks for receiver to deter mine the standing of the bank.

A BRIDGE DRAMA.
The Woman Jumped, Her Husband Ran,
 and a Stranger Rescued Her.

ALBANY, Aug. 1.-Thcrc was q dramat- ic incident on the Central Hudson rail road bridge here that very nearly cost two lives. The bridge has foot passenger path protected by a rail 3a feet high. Tho bridge spans the Hudson and is 25 feet above the water.
 Men on tho balcony of tho Albany Yacht club house saw n woman climb over the rail and jump into tho water. She had hardly disappeared when man clothed only i'll his undcrclothing jumped after her. Boats were quickly launched and the tw0pcople taken ashore. Tho woman was very nearly beyond aid. and only after great cxcrtion was rCsuscitatcd. The man. too, was almost exhausted.
 The man gave his name as Griswold Miles and told this story: ''I was coming across inc bridge with ;I friend when we SAW this woman on the out 4id" nf the rail. She exclaimed, Will, you drove mo to this, and jumped. The man with her took tu his heels and ran 1 stripped of my coat and trousers and jumped after her..
 Richardson, her husband, who. it is said, was the man with her, is d cabinet maker. The yacht club house is on the opposite side of the river in Rensselaer, county, and the woman was spirited away before any moro information could be obtained.

At first he worked on d ranch in the far west and later re- moved to St. Paul, where he engaged in the real estate business and made a great deal of money during tue days of "boom. He apparently knew when to buy and when to sell, for he not only kept the money he had made, but in creased his store. He then succeeded ill interesting British capital ill America and became the successful manager of tho London and Northwest American Mortgage company, limited, which posi- tion he still holds.
 Several years ago he met Miss Whit ncy whilo the young woman was cross ing the Atl.ntic with her father.

DEFENDER ONCE MORE.
She Led the Fleet and Beat Vigilant bl
 Over Twelve Minutes.


 Over Twelve Minutes.
 NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 1.-The Defender beat the Vigilant in the run of 42 miles from New London to this p.int, and beat her so badly that tho lattcr's friends must now admit that the new boat is better than the old. How much better cannot be stated, no reasonable comparison of the champion of 1898 and tho Nigilant of 1895 can be made except by the handful of people who know about what the Defend CT will give to the Nigilant in the matter of time allowance.
 Concerning this matter a reporter was told by yachtSman who is in n position to know that the Defender should allow the Vigilant four minutes or whereabouts on 40 mile race. If this is true, the De- fender did all that could have been asked of her, beating the Eigilant by at least eight minutes.
 Just at the start the Nigilant's main sail was split but the accident had really no apprcciablc effect on tho result of tho race. Tho tear Was low down, near the foot of the sail, and tho yacht was going with large freedom. Tho wind was abcam and gave the two men who were sent out on the boom to make the necessary patch no trouble at all. They had no difficulty stopping the hole by sewing on new can
 
 said by experts, initiate against the Vigi- lant by more than 50 seconds at the out side, and probably not over 20 seconds.
 The weather was in favor of the Eigi lant all the way through. On leaving New London it was n more than free wind. A broad reach with wind abCam would bet ter describe the direction of tho wind, which was almost due southwest, or as it had been for two days. It was brisk, but the big fellows were able to carry all sail, including clubtopSailS, and the water was smooth enough to suit the Nigiant in her very best days. IL has been often said by | those who know that the Nigilant can beat any yacht a!loat ln running before the wind.
 As late as Monday q week ago, after she had Court"nHs!N vi, ldrd tn the Defend | CT and gone ;lM'.:t :irl she Lad d perfect | right to stay on i; il board tack, off the Scotland light ship, .l::h sink the new boat, which would not giN2 way, she started | over the line some distance behind her Op- ponCnt, hut nearly uTrrhaulCd her within | four miles ina light wind, whcnt hat wind was dead aft and spinunkcrS Were set | Wedn 'Sday it was not the same From | start to finish the Defender gained on the l Nigilunt, and came homo so far ahead | that the douhting Thomascs who were asking each other, referring to the Amrri- | cas- cup races, Will she dO?' arc now | saying at least, Well, she's tho best boat | we ever had, and that confession from | these people is to be thought over more | than once.
