One of the passages in Miss Will
kins' new novel, "Jerome," which
have been pronounced too eccentric
and incredible, is the story OF a
rich miser who hanged himself
stealing the rope-because Of the
fear OF losing a third Of his property.
But it is not necessary to come to
New England for such avarice as
this. Writ, the New York baker,
who hanged himself in his cellar,
the other day, was driven to biz
fate by the widening Of Elm-st.,
which he feared would take away
part of his house. His estate II

POLICEMEN ON TRIAL.
Questioned as to Alleged Violation

A hearing Of the charges against Police
man L. j. Brennan, OF the Sixth precinct
station, was had at Police Headquarters

and Lieutenants Daley and SwindeIls, con-
stituting the. police trial board. 1t was al
legged that Brennan was guilty OF conduct
unbecoming an officer. Many witnesses
appeared before the board, including sew
eral of those examined during hearing
in the Police Court recently, when a bar
tender was tried on charge of profanity.
The information against Policeman Bren-
nan was to the effect that he had demand
ed cigars at the saloon of Mrs. Nellie Sui
livan, corner of Fourth and G Streets
northwest. about two weeks ago. The
board reserved its decision in the case.
Policemen c. D. Clements and Jeremiah
Mccarthy, of the Third precinct station,
appeared before the board to explain why
they had talked for twenty minutes while
on duty. 1t was charged they did not
converse on police business. Testimony

ence to police business. 1t was explained
that Mccarthy had been on the force but
a few days and he was securing informa-
ton from his brother officer.
Policeman w. F. Bloom, of the Fifth
precinct, was charged with INDUCING in a

THE STEAM FILTERS STRIKE.
No Movement Yet by other Trades
men for Sympathetic Action.

There has been no change in the situa-
filters and their helpers for an increase Of
wages. The members of the two unions
however. expressed themselves yesterday
as more confident than ever of winning
This confidence, it is said is based upon
the fact that since the strike was inaugu-
rated several big jobs have been let to
contractors and in each instance the own
ers of the property have required stipu-
lation in the contract that the work shall
be done by union labor.
A prominent member of the steam filters
union stated yesterday that the stand
which his organization took on the ques-
ton of the admission of non-union men
TO membership as proposed by the master
steam filters is endorsed by every trades
union in the District. One of the condi-
tons Of the settlement of the troubles be-
tween the steam filters and their en-
ployers, proposed by the latter, was that
all the workmen then employed by them
should be admitted to membership in the
local steam filters union without expense
to either the applicant or the master steam
filters. This condition the strikers refused
to accept, and it is said that all the trades
unions in the city have endorsed the stand
support.
1t is said that the Steam and Hot Water
Filters Association of New York has Of
fered to come to the financial aid of the
local steam filters and helpers if it is nee
essary.
A special meeting of the steam filters
and their helpers was held yesterday at
their headquarters, 425 Twelfth Street,
and the Strike Committee reported that
the situation was somewhat more favor
able than it was a few days ago. Up to
the present time none of the other building
trades has taken an active part in the
strike. According to the resolutions
adopted by the Central Labor Union and
the Building Trades Council at their last
meetings. however, no trades unionist will
be permitted to work on any job with nom
union steam filters. In the event that
non union steam filters are set to work on
any buildings in the course of construction
where there are members of trades unions
employed which are affiliated with either
the Central Labor Union or the Building
Trades Council, it is probable that the
resolutions adopted by these central bodies
will be enforced and thus a general strike
of the building trades precipitated.
When questioned as to this yesterday a
prominent member of local organized labor
said that such a condition of affairs had
not yet been considered by the leaders and
that it would not be until il was actually
necessary to do So The committees APP
pointed by the Central Labor Union, Build
ing Trades Council and the Strike Com
mittee of the steam filters are keeping a
close watch on the situation and will no
doubt have matters in shape should it be-
come necessary for the trades unionists in
the District to act jointly in the matter.

DALEY ASKED TO EXPLAIN.
Complaint Made Against the Police
Lieutenant by Politicians.

Major Sylvester. Chief of Police, has
called upon Lieut.. John C. Daley, of the
Ninth precinct. to make a report on his
conduct in connection with the primaries
held in this city for the election Of dele
gates to the Kansas City Convention Com
plant has been made to Major Sylvester

vester was out of the city. They will call
to see him tomorrow morning and lay all
the facts before him.

night that Lieutenant Daley did only that
which any private citizen had perfect
right to do. He simply made an affidavit
TO the facts that came under his personal
observation. II was. Mr.. Martin said. the

would be an outrage. This attack on Lieu
tenant Daley. Mr. Martin said. would only
result in still further exposure OF the frauds
perpetrated at the primaries.

the attack on Lieutenant Daley. He did
not personally know the lieutenant. he
said but he knew of his reputation which
was that Of an officer who did his duty
fearlessly. 1t was. the doctor said. the
same lawless element which had always
