Did She Do It On Purpose?

Colonel Wilson, delegate to congress
from Arizona, nearly met his death at
the Nadeau hotel in Los Angeles the
first of this week He was seated at a
desk in the rotunda If the hotel dictat-
ing letters to stenographer when a
chambermaid dropped dust broom
over the railing of the skylight from
one of the upper floors. The broom
struck the colonel on the head and in.
fiicted & painful wound. A deep cash
was cut in his head and the wound bled
a great deal before a physician could
arrive. The doctor said the colonel bad
very close call. A fraction of an inch
would have brought the wound to a
vital spot and death might have result,

Union. The trouble was started by ex-
members Of Mr.. Herberts band, who claim
that he Is responsible for salaries earned
by them two years ago, but not received,
and 1t became acute on March %, when the
board Of directors of the union took action
against Mr.. Herbert, after a hearing of
both sides. The first effect of this sus-
pension was shown on Saturday evening at
concert of the Progress Club, at which
the Metropolitan Permanent Orchestra fur
nished the music. Victor Herbert had been
invited to conduct selection from The
Fortune Teller" but the musicians OBJ
Jected. The conductor. however, was al
lowed to WELD the baton for that occasion.
At the annual review of the 22d Regiment
on Monday of last week the union also in
tervened. AS an enlisted man Mr. Her
bert could not be prevented from con-
Quoting the band, but the band could re-
fuse to play, and so Mr.. Herbert relin-
quished the direction of the band to a ser
geant.
Union on Saturday it was resolved that the
metropolitan Permanent Orchestra had no
right to permit Mr. Herbert to conduct at
the Progress Clubs concert, and that the
suspension having been posted at head
quarters 1t was a formal notification and
none other was necessary.
victor Herbert is indignant at his sus-
pension, which he declares Is outrageous.
Gerry Has Investigating Fever.
Mr.. Elbridge T. Gerry has got the in
vestfgating fever, and as he can find moth
ing better, or worse, to investigate, he is
going to investigate himself. That is, his
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty TO
Children. which receives $4,000 year from
the city, is to be probed. and the investi-
CATION is now on. The annual report of the
society shows that there has been an aver
age of forty children in the care of the
society during the year, and that they
have been fed at the rate of So per week
each, the item of food being set down in
the report at $4,000.
The superintendent of the boarding
school for children is allowed % cents for
single meals. while children are housed
clothed and maintained at the Catholic
Protectory for sl25 and the Staten Island
Society boards its inmates at $125 per year.
The report shows that the Gerry Society
pays out $50, 1dS.06 in salaries to employees,
or at rate of $3.50 in expenses for every
child in its care, which is about five times
the earnings of the bread winners for a
majority of the New York families of five
persons. 1t is the criticism of these figures
taken from his own official report, and his
desire to secure legislative exemption from
state inspection that have stung MIR Gerry
to appointing three of his friends TO in
vestigate" him.

Instructions to Contractor Respect
ing Tiber Creek Sewer

Inquiry of the District Commissioners
was made several months ago by Col. The
odore A Bingham. in charge of public
buildings and grounds, as to whether il
was not possible for the contractor build
ing the sewer which crosses Garfield Park
to begin the restoration of the park to it's
former condition The Commissioners, up
on RECEIPT OF Col Bingham's communica-
ton. notified Mr.. Murphy, the contractor
for the Tiber creek sewer, to restore the
surface of the park to its original condi-
tion. He began to do so at once under
the direction of the park authorities. He
subsequently. it appears conc uded he was
being put to unnecessary expense, not fully
covered by the terms of his contract, and
therefore decided ne would do no more
until the matter had been fully settled
construction through the park and only a
part of the trench had become thoroughly
settled Under the circumstances II was
thought best by the Commissioners to de-
fer action until spring The sewer through
the park having been completed, and the
trench having thoroughly settled, the sew
er department officials are OF the opinion
that the time has arrived for some action
on the part of the contractor. The specih-
cations provide that when the sewer should
be completed the original surface shall be
restored. The Commissioners have. there
fore, decided to formally notify the con-
tractor to complete his work.

CONDITION OF THE MINERS.
Testimony Given to the Industrial
Commission Yesterday Afternoon.

CONFIRMATION yesterday Afternoon.
Mr.. Henry Stephenson of West Virginia,
a member of the national executive board
of the United Mine Workers of America, tes-
titled before the industrial commission yes
terday afternoon.
The witness said that formerly the mine
workers were allied with the knights of
Labor, but they had withdrawn from that
organization because they were satisfied
that they could control their own affairs
without Intervention of others in different
trades. He did not believe in the incorpo-
alton of trades unions because the organi-
zation might at some time be brought INTO
the court and the property OF some parucu-
lar members jeepardZed, while the greater
portion or the members, having no proper
ty, would be exempt from any such loss
So far as incorporation would place the
union in position to be obliged to carry
out Its contracts the witness said he
thought trade unionists would have no OBJ
lection. The mine operator employers had
regularly refused to recognize the miners
organized under the United Mine Workers
of America, but had recognized a miners
association of West Virginia which, he de-
clared, was composed of ''scabs.' who were
supported as an organization by the mine
owners and acted as their tools and were
used as blind by the proprietors in or
der to make it appear that they were deal
ing with organized labor.
He said the strtne of 1897 was brought
about simply to increase the price OF coal
in the mar ket in order that the employers
might pay better wages, as they had plead
ed low prices of the product as the reason
why they could not give better wages. This
low price had been brought about by the
intense competition between the mine oper-
ators. After they had brought prices down
by these methods they sought to make up
the loss of profit by reduction of wages.
The Avoidance of Strikes.
Speaking of strikes the witness said that
where employees and operators treat freely
with each other strikes are avoided. and
where they do not treat with each other the
danger of such troubles Is greatly increased.
He gave a number Of names of miners of
West Virginia, who, he said. had been
blacklisted by the operators because they
We're prominent in labor organizations, and
he himself was blacklisted
There was a semi-monthly payment law
In West Virginia but 1t was not observed
by the operators. Frequent pay days were
advantageous, because they enabled en-
ployes to buy provisions elsewhere than at
company stores. He claimed that company
stores charged % per cent more on an aver
age than other stores. The wages were just
sufficient to enable the miners to support
their families. The miners received from
25 to 40 cents per ton for mining. The price
OF coal at the mine for shipment was 67
cents. The retail price of coal to the min
ers was $la. The companies gave
pay checks, not transferable, good only at
their stores II miners did not spend prac-
tcally all they made at the stores of the
companies in many cases they lost their
employment. Most companies housed their
employees.

Outside DistiIIers Are Selling Output
mt Low Rates.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. April 1.-THE En-
Quirer in It's business columns today says:
The situation in the spirits trades is
becoming interesting on account OF inroads
being made by Independent spirits distil-
leries. The purpose of the Standard Dis
tributing and DistiIling Company was to
make the price low as to cut of all out
side competition. Some distributors ana
affiliated distilieries have protested against
the price maintained by the combine This
executive committee of the distributors in
New York, has not been needed. At present
the output of the outside distilleries is
about 33ts per cent of that of the combine
and its allies, and they are marketing H.
Fully one-half of this competitive goods
goes east. The distributors hold that the
combine should act in accordance with its
original purpose and by a lower price dis
courage outside competition.

PORTO RICo'S WINTER CLIMATE


On reviewing the impressions of a
tour nearly all around this island by
railroad and carriage and across the
island over the great military road,
the first and perhaps the last are of
the delightfulness of the climate and
the beauty of the scenery. The ex-
traordinarily equable temperature is
due to the prevalence of the trade
winds; for Porto Rico lies far out in
the ocean, east of Haiti, and 1000
miles east of Havana In our mid
winter the thermometer stands every
day at about 80 degrees in the shade
and goes down to about 20 degrees at
night, or in the hills to so degrees
In the summer temperature of so
degrees is reached, but never more
than 92 degrees. There is thus no
winter All the year around the
army officers attend receptions in their
white linen suits, and only the thin
nest under-garments can be worn. The
constant wind blows directly across
the island. In winter the moisture
carried from the sea condenses into
an. occasional little shower, more fire.
