terrain Church, the fashionable house of
worship in this city, has been placed on the
unfair list by local labor organizat ions.
Two years ago the interior of the church

they wanted something rather beyond the
ability of local decorators. so they sent TO an
adjoining city and gave out the cont ract !,
ignoring local decorators and the labor
they employ. Last spring the trustees

both have worked in harmony. A few days
ago leak developed in the tin roofing on
Grace Church and it was desirable to have
repairs made before winter set in. The
local dealers in metal roofing were applied
to by the church trustees. but they would

on his calendar in the General Sessions
yesterday morning. Judge Foster said
to Assistant District Attorney Clark:
There must be some mistake. ! under
stand, according to Capt. Goddard, that
am in league with the policy men. He
has evidently given me this case by mis-
take"
There's no mistake but I know nothing
about any remarks Capt. Goddard may
have made, replied Mr.. Clark
We'll, Ill pass this case. anyway
said Judge Foster. -and if ! ever do try
one Of Capt. Goddard's cases | will put the
Captain under subpoena, in case Of con-
vic,ion.' and ask him if he has anything
to say in regard to the prisoner"
Last February Judge Foster instructed
a jury 10 acquit negro prisoner who had a
policy slip, on the ground that the prose-
cution hadn't shown that he was not a
public officer, MIR jerome then said that
no more policy cases would be put on Judge
Fosters calendar. Nevertheless. it was
he who directed at the beginning of Octo-
Der that after Judge Cowing and Recorder
Golf had each had a week of policy trials
his clerk should put number on Judge
