KEPT HIS TEMPER.
Policeman Pearson Retained From
Using His Gun.

Policeman Pearson Refrained From
Using His Gun,
Ihe ability Of Policeman ]. A Pearson to
restrain his temper in all prota bility pre-
vented repetition of the London Shears
case late yesterday afternoon. On COM
plant of several residents along Lincoln
avenue, Policeman Pearson hastened out
that thoroughfare to quiet a disturbance.
He found quartet Of intoxicated men
amusing themselves by stoning pedestrians.
The men, who were William Craven. Thos.
Mullen, Thomas Mcmahon and Morris Con-
nors, were placed under arrest, and then
matters took an interesting turn. The four
feil upon Pearson and fought as desperate
ly as lay in their power, augmenting the
assault with volley of profanity. Finally,
sergeant John Kenney reached the scene
and assisted his brother officer The Of
tenders were loaded into a patrol wagon.
where they continued to fight the police
men Af.er much difficulty they were final
ly landed behind the bars.
After Policeman Pearson had testified
substantially as stated, Sergeant Kenney
took the stand. Mr. Pearson has been
very modest in his account of the affair, -
sald kenney: In view of the extreme
provocation it is impossible for me TO
realize how he kept from laying violent
hands on those men. In all my ex-
ferlence l never saw such conduct
equaled. Then, their language was some
thlng fearful. l served three years in the
DIVISION and the expressions that fell on
my ears while serving there could not be-
gin TO compare with the utterances yester-
day"
The men protested that they were inno-
cent, declaring that the policemen had as
saulted them without cause. Judge Kim
pall TOOK the opposite view, however and
lined Mcmahon $50; Mullen, $40; Connors.
S5 and Craven, S. The latter paid the
amount mentioned, while the others went
down.

Fire Department Promotions.

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1 read short time ago in The Star that
the chief of the fire department of this city
proposed to make promotions to the posi-
tion of foreman of a company from the
men in the department, regardless of the
position they occupied. In the last promo
ton made he ignored. 1 understand, the
claims of the assistant foremen. He stated,
I believe, that this was done In the interest
Of the property holders. Permit me to sug-
gest to the chief that If the assistant fore
men of the department are not so worthy
of promotion as some of those In the ranks.
would lit not be well to change the assist
ant foremen and put the men he proposes
to promote in their places for the very rea-
scns he gives for their promotion to fore
men? 1t is well known that the foremen
are off duty one day in six or seven. when
the assistant foremen are left in charge.
Just think of the fire department of the
city left In incompetent hands one day out
Of every six or seven! Then foremen are
entitled to ten days leave each year, and
thus these incompetent men are In charge
of our fire department sixty to seventy
days in the year. 1t Is hoped our chief will
relieve US from this condition without de-
lay. H

A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION.
Proposed Union of the Building
Trades of the Country.

Trades OF the Country.
It is understood that a missionary from
the Building Trades Council of st. Louis is
on his way to Washington. for the purpose
of endeavoring to enlist the Building
Trades Council of this city in a plan pro-
posed by st. Louis people which has for its
object the union of all the building trades
throughout the United States into one great
central body. The project, it is stated, has
already assumed large proportions.
There is a doubt in the minds Of some of
those with whom Star reporter conversed
on the subject whether 1t would be possible
for the various crafts. with their diversified
interests and factional differences, to get
together on common lines and form an i'm
mense organization that would work satis-
factorily. The men who have been work
ing on the scheme claim, however. that not
only has the plan been put into operation,
but that already 2,5O0.O0 workers are In
not only will the well-organized trades be
solicited to join, but organization in the
unorganized branches will be pushed, until
everybody is In line, from the cellar digger
to the most skilled artisan.
The officials of the Washington Building
Trades Council have as yet received no
communication from ST Louis in regard TO
the matter, and leading members who were
asked to give their opinion on the subject
We're very conservative in expressing their
views. The trades here are well organ
ized, the wages are good, and while it is
admitted the plan is possible of consumma-
ton. the officials see great difficulties in
the way.
One of the most formidable obstacles is
the satisfactory adjustment of wages.
Money has gree ter purchasing power it is
urged, In small place than in a large city,
or more In one section than in another, and
the man who earns s. in one town is bet
ter off than the man who earns 81 in an
other recognition of these facts would
make differences that would be difficult to
reconcile.
Some of the veteran trades unionists re-
call that there was National Building
Trades Council in America about fifteen or
twenty years ago, and their recollection is
that 1t did not work well, and was even
tually disbanded
1t Is urged by the advocates of the ma
tlonal union which it is now proposed to
form that there is an urgent necessity for
such body to bring to the building trades
OF the country a closer aff1liation than there
mas been, in order that the exact condi ton
OF each building trade may be known in all
the cities, and that a greater assistance
may be rendered in times of trouble. 1t is
contended that organization could also be
conducted with greater rapidity and effect.

GET PART OF THEIR MONEY.
The Crow Creek Sioux VIII Recefx,
Their Interest.

Their Interest,
White Ghost and VIII, the Sioux chief
tains, with their interpreter and Agent
Treon, had a final conference with Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Browning yes-
terday in regard to the $lS7 900 due their
tribe. They recited the circumstances lead
ing up to the Sioux treaty of 1890, by which
they gave up certain lands and for which
an act was passed giving them $751;, 600
Commissioner Browning explained that the
money Is row in the treasury drawing
per cent interest and that payment must
be authorized by legislation by Congress.
and then, ordinarily, only upon a represen-
tation that the Indians need the money.
He suggested that there is little time left
In the present session and that the matter
be dropped for the time being. Payment
Of one-half of the 5000 interest now due
them on the principal. the other half being
reserved by law for educational and sim-
liar purposes. was offered and accepted.
This gives about s. per capita. The dele
cation will leave for their reservation Sat
,rday. and the tribe will petition the next
Congress for the payment of tho principal.
