IN POLICE COURT.
Temperance of Nancy Hanks and
Mabel Ford.

When Jailer Boyle appeared with
Nancy Hanks and Mabel Ford in his
wake, both the judge and police clerk
looked a little surprised, as these two
mad been strangers to the police for the
past eight months. Previous to a six
months sentence which Judge Sullivan
gave them for grating some time last

There was the least bit of sarcasm in
rom boyle's remark. Mabel had not time
TO do up her hair when to
appear. and Tom explained this to the
court to relieve the Ford woman of any
embarrassment. The story goes that Ma
bel Ford was the wife of the man that
killed Jesse James, and at one time was as
pretty as a picture on the front page of
a magazine. .
The charge against Nancy Hanks was
disturbing the peace and fighting on
Pleasant alley.

the clerk.
We'll, the policeman said I was guilty

Nancy.
Never mind what the policeman says.

well, Frisco Nell threw a beer glass
at me, and I thought it was time then
to give her a bat in the eye, wasn't it?
She got too gay n commenced the row.
Because I hit her, I'm guilty am I? All
right, I'll plead guilty."
Mabel Ford giggled all the time the
other was reciting her grievance.
II think you'd better let me off this
time, judge pleaded Nancy.
The court did not think it the proper
caper, and fined the woman $40.
Mabel Ford was arraigned on the
charge of disturbing the peace Of Pleas

she did was to go out on the sidewalk and

pleaded not guilty.

up witnesses, which may include Big

RECORD-BREAKING INITIATION
The Garment Makers Union Takes I'm
143 New Members.

One hundred and forty-three members
Union in Morrison's Hall last night. This
addition to the union takes in all the en-
ployes of the factory of Lewis Meier & Co..
and the Lion Manufacturing Company, and
the firms paid the Inhalation fees of each
young woman that joined the union. With
this increase the Garment Makers now have
one of the strongest labor organizations i'm
the city. its total membership now being
nearly 400. OF the number taken in last
night ITO were from the Lewis Meier Com
pany, and thirty-three from the Lion
Manufacturing Company. The latter prom
ised to add fifty or sixty more to the union
when the season opens up, and they have
increased facilities and room. This is the
largest number ever taken into any labor
organization in this city at one time
The movement was entirely in accord
with the employers wishes The manu-
facturers have become impressed with the
necessity of their goods bearing the union
label and assisted the movement by paying
all expenses. The meeting of the Garment
Makers began early i'm order that the large
number could be taken through the degrees
of fellowship, and closed with a public
session at which speeches were delivered
and refreshments were served.
Edward Barry, OF the Typographical
Union, spoke first. and impressed upon the
minds of the young women entering the
union the necessity of keeping the label
uppermost i'm all transactions. He said the
organization was TO preserve harmony be-
tween themselves and employers. and not
to create discord. He assured them that
they will be benefited by coming into the
union and said their service would be more
valuable 10 their employers.
When he had finished Charles Buschman
representing the Lewis Meier Company
spoke for his firm. He said he was pleased
with the movement and thought that it
brought the employers and employed a
step closer together. making a condition
more agreeable and diminishing the posi-
bility of grievance creeping into their af-
fairs. Frequently he referred TO unionism
and declared himself an advocate of con-
solidation among laboring men. a B.
Cohen, of the Lion Manufacturing Com
pany. followed with a short address in
which he expressed his pleasure at the
course the young women had taken and de-
clared IL had his hearty approval

the promise OF the President was not ful-

was that there should be no permanent
acquisition; that there should be no en-
forcement of American authority against
the will Of the natives: but that there
should be unbuilding power that would

their own choosing and that we would
treat with them. receive their concessions

away against the malevolent influences
