WILL NEVER FEDERATE
ENGINEERS WILL REMAIN INDIE
PENDENT OF OTHER ORDERS.
May Traffic of indianapolis Lines En-
Earnings Increased 100000.

From one of the delegates just returned
from the biennial convention of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers it is learned
that there is little probability of that or
ganization ever entangling itself with
any other body. At the recent
meeting members of the brother
hood. who favored federation with
the other four railway brotherhoods put
forth their best efforts and it is evident
that Grand Chief Arthur and his conserva-
tive supporters still retain rnelr influence
unimpaired. The resolution offered this
year and voted on was very cautiously
drawn. The proposal to federate stipulated
in substance that the chief of each of the
national railway labor organizations should
constitute the executive committee. This
committee not to be called on to act until
the local or system federation committees
on the railroad where the trouble existed
reported that it was unable to honorably
adjust differences. The national federation
executive committee would then be called
upon to investigate. but would not have
power to order a strike. but could decide
whether a strike would be. justified and it's
vote must be unanimous, In case the COM
mitee agreed that drastic measures were
justifiabIe they would have power. only to
report each separate organization would
then vote by itself. and two-thirds of the
members of the five brotherhoods would
have to vote for the strike before it could
be ordered, The chiefs of other orders are
said to be somewhat disappointed at the re-
lection of moderate demand from the
already federated bodies. which makes it
evident that the conservative element of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
is both vigilant and thoughtful.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Business Before the GovernOrs-Ger-
many and Hog Products.

Inc governing committee Oh the bOdTO VI
Trade had a short meeting last night, and
the only business transacted was the dis
position of the report of the committee on
communications One was from the Chi
cago Board of Trade asking the support of
the Indianapolis board for bill now pend
ing in Congress. which is intended to give
to the Interstate-commerce Commission
power to enforce the authority which Con-
gresS presumed to confer upon it when it
was created.( The governing committee in
structed the secretary to ask the support
of the Indiana representatives and senator's
The Philadelphia Board of Trade asked
the local board to oppose the passage of the
bill limiting free mail delivery in cities to
four deliveries day. The governing COM
mittee declined to agree with the Philadel-
phia board indianapolis. with the excep-
ton of very small district, receives only
four deliveries a day, and has but two in
the residence portions. The local board be-
lieves that to allow large cities more de-
liveries there must be a cutting off in
smaller cities. In other words. the large
cities are enjoying six or more deliveries
daily at the expense of smaller cities
The Boston Chamber of Commerce Of
fered to send a speaker to Indianapolis to
address the Board of Trade on the question
of arousing a national interest in the mat
ter of esta blishing better trade relation
between the United States and Canada The
board will fix a date and invite the Boston
speaker.
John NJ. Shaw, manager of Kingan & Co.,
read letter from customer in Germany
which he thought went to show that the re-
ports of hostility toward the United States
were exaggerated. The customer went on
to say that he did not believe the German
government would exclude American meats.
1t was true, he said that the Agrarian
party had much influence with the govern
ment, and, if this party should be success
full in the June elections there might be
more restrictions placed about the importa-
ton of American meats, but this would not
be exclusion. The writer thought. how
ever, that the Agrarian party would be de-
feated. He closed by stating that if the
United States should succeed in defeating
the Spanish in several brilliant and decisive
victories, the German government would be
eager for friendship.
A communication from the passenger
agents of the twenty-nine roads composing
the Central Passenger Association asked
the Board of Trade to assist in having some
measures enacted for the suspension of the
business of ticket scalping during the week
of the Knights of Pythias encampment and
during the L. A. w. national meet. The
governing committee declined to take any
action and the communication was laid
upon the table.
President Kinney appointed William Bos-
son. l.. W. Louis and E. w. Bassett a COM
mittee to audit the accounts of the officers
of the board for the year just ending.

"Starkey" Gets Even.

At the council meeting Tuesday even
ing, besides attending to the regular
routine business, Mayor Starkweather,
following in the footsteps OF his prede-
ccssor, appointed Charles K. Fridley
as a member o. the fire and police com
mission. in place of Mr.. Munroe whose
term Of office expires III May. The
question, Is the appointment lcgal?,
arises at once in the minds of Mayor
elect Dietrich and his followers as it
did TO Mr. Stark weather and his friends
last year. but the board stood as APP
pointed by retiring Mayor Pattison,
and We see no reason why Mayor Stark
weather should not follow established
custom. We understand that Mayor
Dietrich will not recognize Mr.. Fridley
as a member of the board. and that he
will make an appointment which cun-
,lition will necessarily take the ease
into the courts for decision. Thus the
new administration starts IN with 4
good sized fight Oh hand.

SORROW In Another Home,

which occurred at the home of his ia

Thursday afternoon about three O'Clock.
Monte Brooks, as he was Familiarity

a great student, having passed through
our city schools he went to Faribault,
and graduated from Shattuck military
school with honor. and later from the
law school at Ann Arbor, and has been
associated with the law firm Of Knowles

two years ago, and had he lived, he
no doubt, would have earned for him.
self brilliant record. He was his IA
theirs constant companion and contitant
and the special satisfaction each found
in the companionship of the other has
often been noted by their friends.
The immediate cause OF his death was
not appendicitis. as at first reported but
intestinal tuberculosis, aggravated by
stoppage of the bowels. An operation to
remove the obstruction was performed
Tuesday morning, but the tubercular
condition was so firmly seated that the
patient was unable to resist the drain
upon his system, and gradually grew
weaker, though relieved from suffer
ing, till he sank to rest.
Charles La Monte Brooks WAS twenty
four years of age, and until this attack
has enjoyed the best of health. He
was hopeful and brave through all his
suffering, never giving up until the last.
