DON'T WANT DAM BUILT
Park Commissioners Say Work Would
Cause Park to be Flooded

Although official objection on the
part of the Park Commission has not
been made against the plans of the
Water Department to build new dam
in the Brandywine creek above
Washington street, it, will be
soon. The reason for the Park Com
mission for not wanting the dam
built is said to be because the work
would mar the beauty of the park.
Chief Engineer Bond said yesterday
that so far official action had not been
taken in the matter by either the Park
Commissioners or the Water Board.
rs new dam needed?" Mr.. Bond
was asked.
yes. the old one is in bad shape.
It is held in place by wooden braces
and the woodwork is rotten"
Where will the new dam he built?"
Il cannot say"
would 1t be below or above the
present DAM"
1T would be below it, of course"
THAT would call for a new set of
gates. would it not?'
Eyes. it would call for a. new set of
gates. but not a new race
The present dam is getting filled up
and another is said 10 he badly needed.
The principal objection to the build
ing of the new dam is that it would
raise the level of the water, and in
time Of storm would overflow the
cemetery, beside damaging the park
property.

MR.. SHORTS NAME RECALLED
His Reappoiniment to Marshalship
Due to a Misunderstanding

The nomination OF John Cannon
Short to be United States marshal for
this district for a second term was
withdrawn from the United States SEN
ate Yesterday after a conference be-
tween President Roosevelt and Con-
groasman Ball.
While here last night. DR.. Ball ex-
Dlalned that Mr.. Shorts name had
been sent to the Senate by mistake.
The President. It appears. misunder-
stood the position OF DR.. Ball in the
matter. The representative is a per-
sOnal friend OF the marshal but for
political reasons he did not think that
the collectorship of the port of Will
mingtOn and the marshalship should
be held by men hailing from the same
county-Sussex. Mr. Shorts successor
not having been agreed upon. DR.. Ball
asked the President to allow Mr..
Short to continue in office. but with
out denomination. until some arrange
ment as TO his successor could be
made u was Mr. Balls understand
ing that this would be done.
II is probable That Mr. Short will
continue In office for another month.

Sunday afternoon the street sweepers of Brooklyn, N. Y., held a meeting in Blaney's opera house, Williamsburg. the purpose being to devise ways and means to form a union of street sweep CTS. James D. King presided over the meeting. Police Court Judge Furlong was the speaker of the day, and he strongly recommended to those pres ent that a union be formed immediate ly. He spoke in part as follows: ''The position of a street sweeper is just as honorable as that of any other craft in Brooklyn. Every one knowing me wl.l have realized that l have at all times been a supporter of organized labor and its rights. Organized labor means protection and a betterment of prevail ing conditions. Consider the great trusts, who daily undermine the little ground we have unoer our feet Look at the beef trust and the coal strike. Is it not time that the workingmen should band together for their own benefit, and so as a whole prevent the treading down of the masses? Through organization you will obtain strength that nothing can shake. But it is equally essential that as leaders you must have men who are level headed. and who will sacrifice their own well fare for that of the masses. When you have organized you should have as leader man like Mitchell. the leader of the present coal strike" The meet ing was an enthusiastic one. The ad- dress of Judge Furlong was received with an ovation that fairly shook the house. Other meetings will be held during the next few days. and indica- tions are that then permanent or ganization will be effected

The striking employees of the Under wood Typewriter Manufacturing Go. of Hartford gather daily at their head quarters and discuss matters in con- nection with the strike, though the attendance has grown less of late. and there is not much to discuss beyond
 communications received from out side. It is said at headquarters that encouraging reports are received con cerning the action which the national union took in putting the company on the We don't patronize' list and that this action is already beginning to have an effect. The strikers say the attitude of hostility towards the com pany will be withdrawn inside of q hours if the company accedes to the demands made and that if the demands are not acceded to they will hold out indefinitely.
