elected moderator, was called on for an
address. Mr.. Walker made a plea for more
liberal thinking among his churchmen. He
said it was essential that mutual fellow
ship should be enjoyed TO make the church
large. He said he is often confronted with
the cry of outsiders, who say the reason
they do not take the churches more seri-
Cusly is that there is too much doctrine
preached. On that score. said Mr.. Walker.
they are Away mistaken, as 1T is now the
trouble with the church there is too little

DUCKS FOR THE Y
Present from an Old Man Who Did
Not Give His Name.

An old man dressed roughly in homespun
clothes. but with a face as bright and smil-
ing as a child's, came to the mayors office
yesterday afternoon. and with a polite bow
to the colored functionary industriously
manipulating a broom every now and then
asked if he might see the mayor.
You see. I've got a present for Mr.. Book
walter" he said, pointing to a big wicker
basket on his right arm, land 1 wanted to
give it TO him myself especially
Sorry" said the man behind the broom,
''but Mistah Bookwaltah is out"
The old man edged a little closer to the
door of the room where so many heart-to-
heart talks are held with stubborn coun-
cilmen and persistent place hunters, as If
he had not the utmost confidence in an At
rican's ability 10 deal always with facts.
eff there is any way to do it," he said
again. u would like to give this basket to
the mayor himself. He and L are old
friends and l want to see him grin when he
sees what is inside here and he patted the
big basket, smiling to himself.
ut can't be DONE" the %janitOr repeated
in a voice that showed he had misgivings
as to the contents of the basket.
why can't you take the basket and give
ii TO the mayor tomorrow" the old man
said. after a little thought. I'D like to
give it to him myself. but can't stay, and
L want him TO have it right away
You kin leave it, and I'll give it to Mis-
tab Bookwaltah tomorrow the caretaker
said.
Carrying the basket as If it contained
fabulous riches, the old man followed the
janitor into the mayor office. He placed
his burden on the desk. and, twitching off
the cover, said:
You will take a mighty fancy to what
I've got in here, and I'm goin' TO show you
something that will make your mouth water
for a week.
He drew the cover away and exposed to
view. tucked away in "A nest of greens,
three of the finest, latest wild ducks ever
brought 10 indianapolis. They were dressed
and ready for the oven.

He went out tapping the walk with his
cane, saying he guessed he wouldn't leave
his name. No man knows the struggle that
went on i'm the breast of the exile from At
RIGA before he went to the telephone and
informed the mayor that three fat mallards
were awaiting his pleasure. Virtue and the
influence of a righteous environment tri-
umphed. however, and he did his duty with

Although the mayor knows not who sent

CARPENTERS QUIT WORK
FIVE HUNDRED MEN ARE IDLE BE-
CAUSE OF A STRIKE.
Contractors Say They VIII Give
the Men Time to Ponder Over
the Situation.

The carpenters struck yesterday morning
for 3712 cents an hour, an increase of 5
cents an. hour in wages. A joint meeting
of the two unions was held yesterday even
ing, but on account of the large number of
men affected only a rough estimate of the
number on strike could be secured
from Business Agent Travis. He said that
perhaps 500 men are out. Eighteen con-
tractors have signed the new scale. These
contractors work from five to twenty men
each and one of them forty. In all, about
300 men remained at work under the new
scale. Beginning with to-day. two meetings
and roll calls will be held daily until the
strike is settled. The conference committee
of the two unions yesterday outlined a
plan 10 push a vigorous strike, and commit
tees are out to solicit among the contract
ors for the new scale. The meeting yester-
day evening was marked with enthusiasm,
applause for the speaker and a determine
ton to continue the strike until demands
are granted.
The General Contractors Association
seems to be Just as determined in resisting
the demands of the carpenters and holding
TO their proposition maximum scale of
80 cents an hour. The contractors who
have signed the scale are not members of
the association. Officers of the union said
last night that some of the members of the
association had indicated that they would
grant the demands and that more men will
be at work to-day than yesterday. The
carpenters think that the strike will be of
short duration, lasting not longer than a
week, but the members of the contractors
association say they will allow the men to
remain idle for two or three weeks, or until
they are ready to recede from their de-
mand.
There was some talk about carpenters
headquarters yesterday that some of the
contractors contemplated importing non
union men. Little credence was put in the
report. but a committee was appointed to
watch the Union Station and see that no
%nonunion men enter the city, or if they do
to induce them to join the union or leave.
Committees were also assigned TO look
after the n%onunion men employed in the
city and do what they can to get them to
join the union. Perhaps three-fOurths of
the carpenters of the city belong TO the
union, and the suspension of work yester-
day tied up a number of buildings.
The carpenters working with a bridge
gang employed by the city yesterday quit
work and visited the Board of Works, say
ing they could not work unless the new
scale was paid. The board stated that ii
will sign no scale, but il will probably grant
the increase in wages. The bridge on which
they were working is in need of immediate
repairs, and the carpenters were told that
if they did not return to work other en-
plOyes of the city would be assigned to do
the work. The carpenters consented TO re-
turn to work and await an adjustment.

Congregational Nominations.

The congressional nominations by the
Prohibitionists were completed yesterday
morning with the nomination by the Tenth
district. r. NJ. Dalzell. of Reynolds. White
county, was selected to make the race in
this district.
The Eighth district men had another
meeting yesterday afternoon TO discuss con-
ditiOns in hat district. In the Eighth they
think they have a fair fighting chance on
account of alleged dissatisfaction in the
ranks of the two leading parties. There is
talk of starting a paper in the district to
boom the Prohibition candidate, d. 4. Kahn,
of BlufftOn.

CLUSTERS PART IN ASSAULTS.
Mrs. Clement GreenIeaf Says She Saw
Him Leave Her Husband.

Argument in the case of the lockwood
Manufacturing Company against George
Custer and other members of the Molders'
Union began late yesterday afternoon be-
fore Judge John III. Baker. in the Federal
Court. A. W. Hatch spoke for the plain
tiff. The argument will be concluded at
noon to-day.
Mrs. Clement Greenleaf. whose hus-
band was assaulted near his home
in Brightwood, as punishment for
working at the plant while
the strike was on, testified that she
saw Custer, with a revolver in his hand,
running away from her husband, who was
lying across the curb. Joseph Born said
that the day after he was assaulted, Gus
ter came to his house and said the strikers
were sorry they had hurt him because
they had got the wrong man"

An Appeal VIII BE Taken to the
Criminal Court.

Douglass Jillson. of North Delaware
street, was yesterday fined $500 and costs
and sentenced to the ~workhouse for ten
days by Judge Stubs on a charge of as
sault and battery. Fines for drunkenness
and driving on the wrong side of the street
were also placed against him. Five dollars
and costs were assessed in each case.
Jillson ran down Mrs. Leander Cox, an
aged woman of Irvington, on the afternoon

streets. He was driving a trap and took
no heed of pedestrians. Mrs. Cox found II
impossible to escape his horses hoofs, and
the injuries she suffered proved serious.
Efforts TO get Jillson off with a light SEN
tence did not prove effective with Judge
StubbS, and he cenSured Jillson severely.
Attorney j. S. Duncan, who represented
Jillson, emp to have the charge of
drunkenness dismissed, but Judge Stubbs
refused. The case will be appealed 10 a
higher court in the hope of saving young

CODE BILL IN CONFERENCE.
Fight Likely Before Ohio Legislative
Conferees Reach Agreement.
Police Court Bill Middle.

Columbus, Oct 8.-After seven
weeks Of exacting work, the munich
pal codes passed oy the two branches
of the general assembly are in the
committee of conference.
It is conceded in both houses that
the committee will report a bill pro-
viding for an elastic board system,
but there are many other points OF
difference which must be reconciled.
The house bill mas a state merit sys-
tenn and an arbitration feature, which
will not be given up without strug-
gle, and the men who fought to place
them in the house code are upon the
conference committee.
There will be no question of police
courts for the committee to wrestle
with. The house, by disputed de-
cision. passed the sections providing
Tor these courts yesterday afternoon,
but the senate defeated them by
strict party vote, and they are now
pending on a question Of reconsider
alton in the upper body. The sec
tons repeating I'll the laws relating
to the police courts Of the state are
in the codes before the conference
committee and are not subjects of
dispute between the two houses. II
the police court bill fails to become a
law and the code is passed, all the
police courts of the state will be
wiped out and the administration of
justice of municipalities will devolve
upon justices of the peace.
