Dispute I'm Teamsters' Union.

An adjustment of the differences between
the two factions of the Transfers Union
is probable. The teamsters have been dis
rupted for some time-a great part of the
organization seeded and refused to con-
tinue as members of the organization some
time ago. To bring about harmonious
relations between the laborers the dispute
was brought to the attention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor meeting in New
Orleans, and on the resolution of a dele
gate from the teamsters an arbitration
board was appointed to hear the testimony
of both sides to the disagreement and de-
termine the right and wrong of it. This
committee, consisting of j. A. Moffett, of
Orange, n. j., of the Hat Makers National
Union, j. ID. Mulcahy, of Detroit, Mich, a
member of the national executive board of
the Woodworkers' Union, and w. ID. Ryan,
of Springfield, ILL.,, secretary of the Illinois
mine workers, met in Indianapolis last
week and heard the grievances of the two
factions, but did not make any recommend
atoms. The committees report will bring
about an amicable adjustment of the differ
ences, il is said by men familiar with the
different phases of the dispute.

ELGIN TO SAVAGE ANGER.
Old Man Attacked His Stepson, Burt
Hoffman, and Beat Him Severely
Under Arrest.

Because Burt Hoffman, living at lbs
South Meridian street, undertook to pacify
his irate stepfather, Hugh Elgin, last night.
the latter assaulted him with a piece of
coal. cutting two large gashes on the fore
head. Elgin became angered at number
of young women who came into the house
to see Hoffman's sister.
One of the girls suggested that the organ
be played and the crowd indulge in singing.
Elgin objected to the organ being played
Hoffman asked the old man to keep silent,
but Elgin was obdurate and threatened
to kick every one out of the house. Mrs.
Elgin, who was also in the room, ran out
side when she heard her husband talking.
Hoffman followed his mother to the l<itch-
en- and implored her to ask her husband
to keep quiet and not embarrass the girls.
Elgin then followed young Hoffman and
knocked him down. He jumped on the boy,
and, holding piece of coal, struck him in
the face several times. infiicting the
wounds. The old man also choked the boy.
When the mother ran to the rescue she
found her son lying unconscious in a pool
of blood on the kitchen floor. The two men
were arrested charged with assault and
battery. Hoffman's injuries were dressed
at the City DispenSary.

NEED MORE OFFICE ROOM.
Mine Workers Headquarters Too
Cramped for Comfort.

The Office room of the United Mine Work
ers of North America has become much
too limited to accommodate the volume of
business transacted from the headquarters.
1t has been the desire of Secretary Wilson
to acquire all of the rooms in the south end
of the eleventh floor of the Stevenson build
ing, but he has been unable to secure them
on account OF the crowded condition of the
office building. The private room of Presi-
dent John Mitchell has served Secretary
Wilson as an Office during Mr. Mitchelrs
absence from the city. No place was avail
able for Wilson until Frank b. Burke va
Gated his law offices next to the mine
workers headquarters and the rooms were
given to the labor organization. New desks
and furniture and more room were placed
at the disposal of the office force, but still
the rooms not sufficient. The offices
of the Mine Workers Journal and its
editor, S. NJ. Sexton. are still separated
from the headquarters, much TO the dis
satisfaction of both Secretary Wilson and
the editor. 1t is understood that the agents
of the Stevenson building have promised
the mine workers the first vacant rooms.

TERMINAL C0MPANYPLANS
THOMAS F. THOMAs's SUIT MAY LEAD
TO COMPLICATIONS.
He Objects to Being Ousted from His
Market-Street SalOon-Grimth
Property Values.
10 East Washington Street.

An injunction suit filed by Thomas F.
Thomas against Louis ]. Metzger. the Gin
cinnati Brewing Company and George Sci
fert IN the Circuit Court yesterday prom
Uses to complcate the purchase OF the site
for the new terminal station at Illinois
and Market streets.
Thomas is the proprietor OF saloon at
124 West Market street. He occupies room
in the building owned by Louis ]. Metzger
by virtue of a lease granted him in 1900.
The lease stipulated that the rental of the
building should be S125 a month for five
years. AS payment for an option on the
lease prior TO the date of its execution
Thomas alleges that he gave Metzger $50
TO bind the agreement. Thomas claims
that this lease is now in the hands of
George Seifert, the agent of the Cincinnati
Brewing Company.
In narrating mis- causes for COMPLAINT
Thomas enters into a discussion of the bust
ness relations of himself and the brewery
signed by him, with the chattels in the
saloon as security, and that the lease was
given into the custody of the brewery for
that reason He further states that the
brewery, through SeiferI. signed the lease
as surety for his payment of the rent
Thomas claims that the brewery Metz
ger and the indianapolis Terminal and
Traction Company have entered into an
agreement for the sale OF the property
without regard 10 his rights or wishes. He
claims that to sell the property will be to
disregard his lease and ultimately will lead
30 his election from his place of business
This will work to his disadvantage, he
claims. and he asks the court TO order an
examination OF his accounts with the brew
cry, to order George Seifert, the agent of
the brewery. to deliver 20 him his lease and
for the court TO enjoin all the defendants
OF the suit from disposing OF the property

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Jan. 17.-Judge r.
S. Taylor's friends here were much pleased
this afternoon, not only to learn that he
is improved, but also to hear that he has
won the decision in the famous Berliner
telephone case, which was affirmed to-day
in Boston, where he lies sick.
Apparently his co-counsel there did not
know of his being in Boston, other tele-
phone litigation having taken him there.
Concerning the Kellogg switchboard case
they wired him the result. The Berliner
patent Is on the transmitter, and had the
decision been the other way the independent
telephone interests which center in Fort
Wayne would have been hard hit Judge
Taylor is recognized having only one
peer in the field of telephone law, and that
is President Fish, of the Bell interests He
is too i'll TO learn of his victory as yet.
