SCARCITY OF MATERIALS
DELAYS BUILDING OPERATIONS

There has been a great deal of talk
this spring about the scarcity of
building brick and i'm some quarters
il is claimed that the work of con-
tractors has been delayed thereby.
In general. however, the builders of
the city seem to have been hampered
as much by the scarcity of other
building material as of that of brick.
There is now no doubt that building
operations in this city will he serious
ly interfered with by the high price
of all kinds of material and the inn
possibility of getting some few kinds,
particularly structural steel. The
brick yards are all now workingat full
capacity and it is thought the short
age in the supply will be overcome
i'm a few weeks.

The efforts of the Rock Island bust
ness men who have been laboring to
prevent the removal of the George
White Buggy company from the city
have borne fruit to the extent that
the firm has practically decided to re-
main and erect a building.
The details of the arrangement are
not completed, but it is the intention
to purchase tract of ground at the
northeast corner of Fourth avenue
and Twenty-fifth street, which form
erly constituted part of the lumber
yards of the Rock Island Lumber
company.
Here, if the negotiations are car
ried out, a factory building will be
erected in which the firm will have
room to expand to manufacturing
capacity of 5000 vehicles year, en-
ploying about fifty men at first and
eventually double that number.
Committee Deserving OF Credit.
This decision will give general sat
isfaction throughout the city and the
members of the committee which has
been engineering the negotiations by
which the result has been accomplish

There is Il growing sentiment in
favor of making the afternoon of
May 21, upon which will he held the
parade in connection with the state
q. \. II. encampment, general holi-
day in the city. Ii will be school
holiday and as many of the school
children as possible will take part in

\ strong pressure is to be brought
to bear upon the owners of factories
and business houses to close up for
the afternoon in order to permit en-
ployes to enjoy the spectacle, which
will undoubtedly be one of the most
inspiring ever witnessed in this vi
cinity.
1t is now evident that the parade
will be longer than was at first eX-
pccted and the committee in charge
of that feature is at work revising
its original plans. The intention of a
great number of uniformed bodies to
take part has been made known to
the officers in charge and it is prob

from.

Escaped Prisoners.

The Commissioners will doubtless con-
duct a rigid inquiry into the circumstances
of the escape from the workhouse of three
important prisoners who were sentenced
as suspicious characters to six months i'm
rrisonment. These men were regarded by
the police as valuable captures. They were
caught while evidently preparing for
large burglary, and 1t was learned after
their arrest that they are well known to the
police Of other cities. So anxious were the
local police for the holding Of these rogues
that special instructions were given for
their careful detention, but despite this
fact the men were given opportunity both
to secure saws from outside of the work.
house and then to cut their way free. It Is
true that the present workhouse is a de-
plorable makeshift, overcrowded and per-
haps insufficiently manned. But even the
use of the new structure just approaching
completion, would apparently not have
changed the conditions under which the
men made their escape If this institution
must continue to be the place of detention

Chatting Tim Sullivan,

Irreverent people in New York are dis
posed to be little merry at the expense of
the Hon. Tim Sullivan, candidate for Con-
gress, who tells his people very frankly
that he will serve them better in the ma
tional legislature than Daniel Webster could
do IL he were living. In all fairness, Mr..
Sullivan should be taken at his real mean
ing, which is that he will ''get more for
the district in the division of good things
in Congress than Mr. Webster could be ex-
pected to do. And that Is true. Mr.. Sulli-
van will serve his district. and that alone.
His sober wishes will never learn to stray
beyond its boundaries, and he will make an
ideal Tammany representative. Mr.. Web
ster in his place would probably never think
of the district, would be busy with national
questions only. and would be a poor hand,
indeed at dipping into the pork barrel Mr..
Sullivan evidently knows his Webster as
well as he does himself. His apparent van
ty disappears under moments candid
examination.

The sultan's Autobiography.
A cable from Vienna says;

A cable from Vienna says:
THE newspaper Die Information an
nounces that the Sultan Of Turkey has writ
ten his autobiography. which VIII ran hAe
a bombsheH on the civilized Word
He records without reserve the decep-
tions practiced by Christian Statesmen IN
trying to gain the support Of Mohammeoan
Turkey.
The work will be published after the
sultans DEATH
For this work to have the effect OF a
bombshell 1t should be published now. That
Is, If it be true that the sultan has any
Christian statesmen On the hip in their deal
ings with him. They may go before him.
and in that event posterity will turn over
the leaves of the sultan's book with only a
languid interest. With all the principals In
their graves, the story itself will be musty.
This yarn Is probably aimed at the Ger
man emperor. But his dealings with the
sultan have been pretty open. and he can
have little to fear from any disclosures in
that or any other quarter on that subject.
The sultan, we may be sure, is not likely to
pose in history over his own signature as
one who was successfully played for fool
by anybody.

Lipton's Third Challenge.

There was no doubt that the challenge of
Cir Thomas Upton for third race for the
Americas cup would be accepted by the
New York Yacht Club to which it was
addressed. That club has in fact no al
tentative but to accept 1t and thus to as
sumo the responsibility for the defense Of
the cup. Interest conferred chiefly. in this
connection. upon the terms of the challenge,
which turn out to be eninently satisfac-
tory. The races are to be sailed under the
old conditions, which the challenger re-
CARDS as fair and requiring no change. They
are to take place in late August, when there
will be good chance at fine sailing weather
and little likelihood of rough seas This
gives the defenders ten months in which
either to build a new boat or to bring The
old defender up to a higher standard of eff
f1ciency than that which she showed last
season The chances seem to favor a new
boat. at least as contestant with Column
bia for the honor of defending the cup. Sir
Thomas spirit in going to the heavy ex-
pense Of a new boat will doubtless be
equalled here. Reports from the new chal-
lenger vague. but they are optimistic
from the British viewpoint, perhaps taking
on this character from Lipton's own CHEEKY
view Of the future. That the possibilities
VI Iurtnef ueFeiopheht Oh the sea racing
machine are not exhausted was proved con-
clusively last year, when the new Shamrock
showed her heels to the old one and Colu1n-
bia gave the wash to her predecessors. Cor
responding advances next season will give
the defenders even chance of retaining
the cup. unless Upton has some new wrln-
kles in view in the designing of the chal-
lenger. The only definite change from last
year thus far announced is the return to
steel plates from the bronze body which
was the feature Of last seasons craft. This
change, however, does not particularly bear
upon the immediate racing quality of the
boats, but upon their longevity.

Coal Strikers and the Future.

The Baltimore American very pertinently
says:
when the coal strike is settled some way
must be found TO shut the door In the face
OF the possibility of another one
Let us hope that the report of the board
of arbitration just named by the President
will go a long way toward accomplishing
such a result.
The public. for the first time. has been
profoundly stirred by coal strike. 1t
awoke one morning quite recently to a
realization of the fact that a strike was in
progress in the anthracite region of Penn
hylvania and had been for nearly five
months. 1t then made the notifying dis
covery that it didn't know just what the
strike was about. 1t could only assume
that as in 50 many other cases, the ques-
ton related to hours of work and wages;
but as it had no knowl edge of what was
fair and right in such controversy it could
not very intelligently give Its sympathy TO
either side Looking at It's empty coal bins.
therefore, and noting the time of the year,
it sympathized with itself.
But from now on the public will have
the benefit of some valuable information on
the whole question of mining and selling
coal. This board of arbitrators Is COM
posed of men who ought to be aDie TO go 10
the bottom Of the subject and make re-
port which will prove Illuminating to every
body. We all appreciate the fact now that
we are vitality interested IN the coal mining
industry and we shall await the conclusions
and recommendations of these arbitrators
with Impotence. These mining troubles are
our troubles, and we have all had quite
enough of the shivers that have been run
ming up and down our backs for several
weeks past.
We may expect therefore that when next
there Is the threat of a strike in either
branch of the coal mining industry public
attention will be Immediately arrested, and
that this fact will have its weight on both
miners and operators. The public must in
future be reckoned with IN controversies re-
latihg to an article which enters so largely
into the matter Of health and comfort. A
miners union or mine operators orgaIIt-
Zation will not be safe in going hastily to an
extreme In any differences that may arise
as to the claims of either in Its relation
with the other. The relations of both with
the public are so intimate and important
that the public must in future be considered
and In way consulted. Public ownership
OF the coal fields is one thing Public coz
Germ about the working of those fields go
a. to insure good service in supplying
necessary of life is another thing.
