BRAKEMAN vAULLoN HURT.
Gilbert Satton Accused Of Pushing
Him From a Train.

j. 9. Vaullon a brakeman, employed on
the P. w. and B. railroad, was removed
to Providence Hospital about noon today
from the Pennsylvania depot. suffering
from injuries received short time before
by falling from a moving freight train rum
ming from Baltimore to this city. The &C
cident happened at a point some distance
beyond Benning In Maryland.
Gilbert Satton, thirty-five years of age,
who was stealing a ride on the train at the
time, is held at the ninth precinct to await
the result Of Vaullon's injuries, it being
believed by the police that Satton pushed
the brakeman from the train.
Satton was given Into the custody OF
Sergt McTaggert at Bennfng about 11:45
o'clock this morning by members Of the
crew Of the train from which the brakeman
fell.
They said he had pushed vaullon from
the train and asked that he be held in Gus
tody for the Maryland authorities. The po-
liceman was further informed that the in
jured man had been picked up and was
placed on an incoming passenger train and
brought to this city, but no further partic-
ulars OF the affair were given.
At the station house Satton told Lieut..
Daley that Vaullon fell from the train
while walking along the car tops He de-
MED that he pushed him off.
Vaullon was rendered unconscious by the
fall and had not recovered at q late hour
this afternoon. The surgeons were unable
to say what the extent of his injuries were.
Satton served three or four months in
the II United States Cavalry prior to its
recent departure for the Philippines. 1t was
said this afternoon by the police that he
had at one time been a patient at st. Eliz-
abeths Asylum.
Vaullon is thirty-five years old and re-
sides at AS New Jersey avenue southeast.

ORDER A LOCKOUT.
Contractors Reta1iate Upon the Build
ing Trades Council.

1t was stated this afternoon by a member
of the Master Plumbers Association that
all contractors of this city win tomorrow
lock out all employees who are affiliated
with the Allied Building Trades Council of
the Central Labor Union until the plumb
ers' strike is settled. This step, it is said,
Is taken in support of the Master Plumb
ers' Association and in retaliation for the
action of the council last Saturday. in
ordering all men connected with that Or
ganzation to refuse to work on buildings
where non-union journeymen plumbers
were employed. The contractors argue
that the councils action in support of the
striking plumbers did not affect the boss
plumbers. but, instead, stopped the work OF
others who were heretofore friendly with
organized labor.
The striking plumbers refused to give out
any infor nation today in reference to what
will be done by their organization. All the
strikers seem to be perfectly satisfied with
the situation and say they are determined
to win the fight.
A member of the press committee of the
Master Plumbers Association, in speak>
ing Of the strike situation, said: ut Is a
fight to finish" He also said the men,
bers of the association are gradually get
ting their shops filled with men and are
doing a great deal OF work.

ANTI-SMOKE LAW.
Statement by Mr.. Thomas Bradley Re-
oardipo Eiroa nrdor fho Tow

otdteInent Dy MI. InomaS braQ1ey Ne
garding Fines Under the Law.
Thomas Bradley Of the Washington Loan
& Trust Company pleaded guilty in the
Police Court today to six charges Of al
legged failure to comply with the provisions
Of the anti-smoke law at the Loan & Trust
building. Fines aggregating s12O, imposed
by Judge Scott. were paid.
In connection with this case Mr.. Bradley
made the following statement to a Star re-
porter today:
Some time ago a summons was issued
against me as the agent of the Washington
Loan & Trust Company, charging a viola
ton of the smoke law. At the trial of the
case, our attorney, Mr.. John B. Larner,
asked to be permitted to prove by Compel
ent witnesses, that 1t is impossible to COM
ply with the requirements of the so-called
smoke law in its present shape, in that the
law provides that no smoke whatever shall
be emitted from the smoke stack The
emission of smoke for single instant is
held to be an offense. Judge Scott refused
to admit this testimony. The case was
taken to the Court of Appeals. where briefs
had been submitted and arguments heard
The decision OF that court is now pending
( '1n the meantime our company has had
six cases brought against it and this morn
Ing was fined $40 in each case total Of
$120.
In these six cases on which we are fined
today the time Of emission Of smoke av-
eraged about one minute.
I'VE have done, and are doing, everything
in our power to reduce the volume Of
smoke emitted from our stack and we
think have succeeded in reducing 1t to a
minimum. We have experimental with and
investigated nearly all of the devices on the
market and have yet to find one that will
serve the purpose of the law, whether
burning hard or soft coal. To make q
change in plant the size Of ours requires
large outlay OF money and while we are
perfectly willing to spend any amount nee
we want to be sure that when the change Is
authorities.
THE District authorities are unable to
name any device which will absolutely pre-
vent the emission Of smoke or which will
be satisfactory to them.
I'm justice to the citizens of Washington,
many Of whom are necessarily using boil
ers and furnaces In the occupations by
which they gain their livelihoods, some
change should be made in the present law
which will relieve those who are unable to
pay the fines regularly imposed by the
court. 1t Is now working unnecessary
hardship and injury. When asked what
they shall do in order to comply with the
law they are simply told to stop making
smoke. The bill introduced by Representa-
tive David H. Mercer is rational measure
which meets with no objection from bust
ness men of the city, and 1t Is earnestly
hoped that that bill will be passed by Con-
gress at early date"

Favorable News From Miners Con-

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. May 1s:-The street was OF
the opinion that the market was technically
oversold and bought back a few OF the
active issues with the result that prices in
today's market were improved from TO 2
per cent.
London sent over a higher range or

the market were credited to foreIEn ac-
count
Business was extremely limited in volume
the absence of western selling being chiefly
conspicuous.
There was little or no new liquidation
and the price movement WAS regarded "a
entirely normal. Dizziness, with alternate
rallies and declines. would be an entirely
logical outcome OF such confused situa-
ton as now exists.
The money market inspires little conf
dence In any general advance. and ease In

up should tomorrow's convention decide to
make the strike order permanent. Ii is
hoped that the conservative clement may
prevail and declare against any general
strike at this season.
The government crop report eNerted little
influence, although the showing IS not
favorable. Much stress is laid upon the
changed weather conditions, since the re-
port was compiled. Missouri Pacific and
Union Pacific were given some support on
the theory that the showing from now on
would be better.
Both stocks have had so many false
starts, however, that II is difficult to get
any public interest in them. Southern Pa
cihc was steady, and there was a stronger
tone In certain middle-class specialties such
as Chicago and Great Western and Colorado
Southern issues.
The report of Manhattan Elevated was a
favorable development, and stimulated
some strength In the local Traction eroup.
The Industrial department was Irregular
but in the main without significant net
change. During the last hour money was
quoted at 81 to 9 per cent. but there was
no increase in the volume of business.
Traders were in control of prices and made
little effort in either direction. The net
changes for the day were irregular. but in
the main fractionally better than the low
record OF yesterday. Until some definite
news is had from the strike convention
there Is little chance for activity.

FIRE IN FEED STABLE,
The Damage Estimated to Be About
$500.

Nicholas Schlegers livery and sale stable,
located at the rear OF D street northwest
between 9th and 10th streets. was badly
damaged by fire about noon today. There
was great excitement when the fire
started, as 1t was known that Mr.. Schlegel
had great many horses in the frame
structure. 1t seemed to be almost impos-
sible to remove them from the building
before the flames would reach them. but
by hard work on the part Of those about
the stable and volunteers they were res
cued. These helpers also assisted in pre-
venting the spreading of the flames
An alarm was sounded from box 175, and
hundreds of pedestrians followed the We
hicles Of the fire department and crowded
about the scene of the fire The police re-
serves of the first precinct responded to
the alarm and soon got the crowd out Of
the way of the firemen. The fire DEPART
ment had the flames under control in a
short time, and succeeded in extinguishing
them. 1t is estimated that the damage
amounted to about $500. The origin of the
fire is not known. 1t originated in the
hay loft, and consumed a quantity of feed
and also damaged the building.

Many Bodies Wholly Cremated.

FORT DE FRANCE, Island Of Marti-

Of the number Of inhabitants Of st. Pierre
who were swept to death by the volcanic
waves from Mont Pelee on Thursday last.
very few corpses are found by those who
are engaged in the work Of cremating the
dead bodies. This Is due to the fact that
the most populous quarters of the town
are buried under q thick layer Of cindered
lava. which apparently entirely consumed
the bodies of the victims.
The Danish cruiser valkyrien, having
done everything possible in the efforts be-
ing made to succor the refugees, left this
