Figures, at Work at
State Fair.

For several hours this morning John
Daniels was imprisoned in the big re-
frigerator Of the dairy building at the
state fair. A woman and boy shared
his captivity. The. woman was not as
tall as Daniels. She stood on. the top OF
a pedestal and reached away above his
head 4
The boy stood beside her and both OF
them were smiling The woman and the
boy were made Of butter and J Ohm Dan
iels was the sculptor who had fashioned
them. He has been ocucpied on the work
for several days and his creation is as
beautiful as If it were carved out Of mar
BILE.
Mr.. Daniels is also engaged in carving
out of the rich product of the dairy a
buse of the late Alexander Ramsey, that
is already lifelike and only needs a few
finishing touches,
A. w. Trow, who is in charge Of the
dairy building this year for the first time,
has already made an enviab1e record In
decorating it. Sam Haugdahl is busy ar
ranging some Of the exhibits. About 300
entries have already been made and II
is expected that there will be at least one
hundred more before the fair opns.

Paris, Aug. 2S.-The assassination OF

formation has been received in official or
other quarters concerning the details. The
last Beirut report received at the foreign
office was dated July Z. AS BEIRUT here
tofore has been considered quite outside
the range of Turkish disorders French Of
ficials say the gravity Of the situation de-
.pends on whether or not the shooting was
done by a Turkish soldier which would
make the case similar to the assasslna-
ton of M. Rostkovski, the Russian consul
lat Monastir, which would warrant
demonstration against Turkey similar to
that made by Russia.
Powers Won't Object.
1T is officially stated that if an American
squadron goes to Turkish waters the &C
Ition of the United States will not be re-
garded by France or the other European
h powers as having any political significance
in connection with the eastern situation. 1t
lis pointed out that the United States has
always refrained from taking part In
Balkan complications, the European pow
sers assuming the burden of that question.
j. A leading official likened the presence
Iof an American squadron III Turkish wat

british and German warships in Venezue-

New York, Aug. 2S.-Contractors who
have the job Of moving the big granite
monoliths from One Hundred and Thirty
fifth street, North RIVER, to the Cathedral
of st. John the Divine, got the first one
started to-day. The monoliths will be
moved with a 22-horse power engine and
wire cable, the. pulleys fastened to an
anchor set ir the ground 200 feet ahead
The first nlonolith was loaded on the
ten-ton truck over week ago and this
caused the wheels to sink in the ground
about Ave inches. 10 start the truck off
1t was necessary to get a lot Of three-inch
oak planks from New Jersey, which were
laid down on the ground, making road
way.
The engine worked all right and the
truck was moved about fifty yards. 1t is
estimated that 1t will take three weeks to
move each Of the monoliths. There are
eight Of them and they weigh ninety tons

Vesuvius Provides 9 Magnificent y
Tho Terrifying Spectacle for d
Nearby Inhabitants.

Naples, Aug. 2s.The correspond dent Of
the Associated Press has just returned
from spending the night on Mount Vesu-
vius. with the special permission OF tho
authorities to pass the prescribed limits.
The scene was terrifying but magnificent.
Enormou4 masses of liquid fire flowed al
most to the correspondent feet, forming
great mounds ~ . ~
Occasionally a mass Of burning material
became detached from the pyramid and
rolled down the side Of the mountain, the
fast cooling lava in its turn detaching
other masses. The whole became station
airy. at the bottom.
The main stream Of lava flows down the
volcanoes side until stopped by the mounds
Of old lava, when It divides and fills up the
valleys, the old and new masses meeting
with such force as to cause loud detona-
tions which shake the earth.
To-day the eruption continues and the
volume Of lava is acquiring vast proper
tioens. Decorations inside the volcano
have caused the prediction that more
violent eruption may be expected.

Tribute to the Murdered Vice Consul by
Old Associate.
Lauritz Larsen, principal OF the school
at Buxton, N. D.. who is in the oity on
q visit, said to-day that he was well &C
quainted with the murdered vice consul,
having been with him In Luther college
at Decorah, Iowa, and having kept up
the friendship since. Magelssen, he says
was a fine type Of manhood and full OF
zeal in whatever he did. Mr.. Larsen
thinks it quite probable that his energy
in pushing American products in Syria
may have aroused fanatical opposition
among the peasantry and led to the hom1-
eide. Magelssen comes from g. fine old
Norwegian family, and his father, Rev
X. Magelssen, has been pastor Of a Lu-
theran flock at Bratsberg for thirty years
The murdered man, who was % years
old, leaves, besides his parents, three
brothers and two sisters. He always
cherished a love for his alma mater, and
when he came back to America a few
years ago. presented to the college mu-
scum fine collection Of oriental curios
which he had brought home with him
He was a man who made many friends
but who never forgot old friends.

N washington, Aug. 28.-Efforts on the
part of labor unions to dictate to the OIL
Gals of the war department and OF the
Philippine government have just come TO
light. A year or more ago, when 1t was
decided to set up an immense printing
establishment in Manila, the bureau OF
insular affairs was called upon to furnish
men to go to the Philippines and take
charge of the work in the office
The civil service commission was called
upon to furnish the necessary number OF
men who would accept these positions,
and twelve or more men were certified Tor
appointment. They were all members ot
the Typographical Union, and this proved
a stumbling block to a career in the Phil
ippine service, as they decided that they
were not to be employed as printers, but
as instructors to the Filipinos, who would
be put to work in the printing office as
apprentices.
Before accepting the positions they con-
suited with the officials Of the union, ano
| were told by the labor leaders that they
could not under any circumstances Y1olats
the rules OF the union, which provide that
| there shall be but one apprentice to every
ten journeymen in an office AS a matter
of fact, the scheme Of the organization Of
the Philippine government printing office
contemplated the establishment of huge
Industrial school and the use Of printers
as instructors Of natives.

This to the applicants was violation

violated. Not only did the applicants

Dougherty also urged upon the war de

Murder OF American Vice Consul Part OF
r. Regular Plan.
: Boston, Aug. 2s.-Letters have been re-
ceived here from persons at Monastir,
European Turkey, indicating that the as
sassination Of the American vice consul,
William C. Magelssen, at Beirut, on Sun
day, Aug. 90, just fifteen days after the
sassination Of the Russian CONSUL M.
RostkoYski, did not surprise the English
speaking people there, as it was consid-
cred part Of g. well-laid plan Of Turkish
land owners to bring about a European
.oecupat ton of Turkish territory.
g For long time it has been understood
that the native proprietors, feeling that
their investm ents were insecure under
Turkish rule have been working to secure
foreign Intervention and Of late rumors of
q plot involving the assassination of con-
suls have been frequently heard. In fact,
reports had become so we'll grounded that
the consuls had considered the ACCESSIBILITY
of asking their governments for national
guards, but had delayed taking definite
action to that end.
Investigation into the assassination OF
M. Rostkovsk at Monastir, Aug. 8. has
shown that there Is no reason to believe
that the Russian consul made any use Of q
cane or revolver on the Turkish guard.

THE BRICKLAYERS' CASE
1t Was Considered at the Meeting OF the
Building Trades Council Last

1t Was Considered at the Meeting OF the
Building Trades Council Last
r.: Evening.
Altho meeting Of the Building Trades
Council, lasting four hours, last night was
devoted almost exclusively to a consider
alton Of the case Of the Bricklayers' union
the meeting closed with the situation as it
has been for several weeks. A resolution
was offered in which the Bricklayers
union was condemned for its action and
it was recommended that the relations
between the Building Trades Council and
the union be severed. It was finally de-
ctded to await the coming Of the national
president Of the union. He has tele-
graphed that he will be here Monday.
The conservative element of the council
hopes he can persuade the bricklayers to
recede from their position. If the speeches
made on the floor of the council last night
can be taken any criterion the senti-
ment of the unions is against the brick
layers.
The finishing Of the addition to the
Glass Block is being accomplished on
schedule time in spite Of the strike de-
clared Wednesday afternoon.
