was wanted at Elnora on a petty charge
last week, and when he learned that the
constable was after him he stole a horse
and wagon belonging to a farmer and
drove toward Bloomfield. He was inter-
cepted by a posse after a hard drive and
placed under arrest. The constable put
handouts on him. but found it necessary
to remove them while Hess ate his dinner
During this procedure Hess broke away
from the constable and escaped. He was
arrested again and again escaped from the
officers.
Hess came to this city and went to the
home of his sister at 2034 Yandes street
The police learned that he was there and
last night took him in custody. He was
securely handcuffed. as his previous es-
capes had placed the officers on their
guard He will be taken back to Elnora

sane. His sister. however. denies that he
is weak mentally.
When arrested Hess had newspaper clip
pings in his pocket that told of his esca-
pades around Elnora. He also carried a
memorandum book containing a diary. In
the book he had written the following pre-

MORE CONTRACTORS SIGN.
About One-HaIf of the Union Carpen.
ters Are Now at Work.

The indications are that the carpenters
strike will be ended before the last of the
week. a few more contractors signed the
scale yesterday, granting the demand for
371A cents an hour, an advance of cents
an hour and the union thinks that its vic
tory is about won. The failure to adjust
the scale with the General Contractors
Association has resulted in favor of the
carpenters, the officers of the union as
sert. as they are getting fun concessions
from contractors who have signed.
Nearly half of the membership OF the two
unions are now working under the now
scale. and the carpenters say they are not
particular about any more conferences with
the contractors association. but will meet
them al any time they ask. 1t is believed that
the members OF the association who are still
holding out have arranged for a confer
ence with the union to-day or tomorrow
in another attempt 10 settle the differences.
If there is another conference and the car
penters have their way, IL viii be an open
meeting so that both sides of the dis
cussion may be made public.

signed the scale. granting all demands

FRUIT AND CANDY VENDORS.
PatroIman Jordan Makes Five Arrests
in One Day.

The police are making life miserable for
the Greek and Italian fruit and candy
vendors. Five arrests were made by Patrol
man Jordan yesterday for violations of the
city ordinance pertaining to fruit and candy
carts standing on the street. The men
arrested are Greeks and their names ap-
pear on the police slate oliver AleXo,
Niche Pantalaky. Niche Macandi, Joe Raiz
and Peter AleXO.
The police attribute the persistence of
the vendors in violating the law 10 an old
custom. When the pOstofice building be-
longed to the government the postmaster
and custodian frequently gave the vendors
permission to stand around the building.
The city did not have jurisdiction over
them while they were on federal ground,
and they became very offensive. They
thronged into Pennsylvania and Market
streets with their carts and the street was
always obstructed.
After the building was sold to a syndicate
the federal authority ceased and the city
ordinance governing fruit vendors became
effective in that district. The police at
once ordered the vendors TO move from
the postoffice corner and they refused.
Then the arrest of all violators was or
dered

This little vale between the hills
Is dear to many a heart.
And many heart with pleasure thrill,
Who bore in Old Home week a part
| Old friends were greeted with delight,
| Although we noted marks of time.
For many head was crowned with white,
And some have passed to joys sublime.

In the dear old church once more,
And every soul with one accord
Gave thanks to God for this blest hour.
Our hearts we're touched by tender chords
Sad memories, too, would come
