to the guidance Of the Commercial
club more than to any other source.
James r. Sovereign, who enjoys q
national reputation as a labor leader
and who was for long time grand
master of the Knights Of Labor, ar
rived in the city last night. When
asked by a Press reporter to render
an opinion upon the coming strike in
Spokane. he positively refused to ex-
press himself.
OF all the unions that met last
night the carpenters union was the
only one that failed to endorse the
action of the trades council. This
does not mean that the carpenters
have refused absolutely to endorse it.
They simply deferred action until the
matter has been submitted to the in
ternational body for approval.

Pennsylvania Railroads Way Of

The Philadelphia bridge has proyt
sion for only two tracks. While this Is
sufficient for the traffic entering and
leaving Washington, it is not enough
for the Pennsylyania's branch to At
lantic City, the use to which It has
been put. The Washington bridge
must be in place sooner than It Is pos.
sible to get structural steel from the
mills, SO the old Philadelphia bridge
win be taken to Washington, and the
new Philadelphia four track bridge
win be built when the mills can fur.

PRANK OF STUDENTS.

Iron Elephant OF 1000 Pounds Put
on Missouri University Tower.
The discipline committee of the Mis-
souri, university faculty is securing evil
denee against students of the engineer
ing department, charged with putting
an iron elephant on the pinnacle above
the dome Of the academic building,
says a special dispatch from Columbia,
Mo-, to the Chicago Record Herald.
The feat accomplished by the stu
dents was extraordinary. Access to the
interior Of the pinnacle had been
barred by three massive iron doors fas-
tened with padlocks, the keys to which
the proctor carried in his pocket.
Under cover of darkness the students
carried a galvanized iron elephant,
weighing perhaps over thousand
pounds, to the dome above the build
ing and, after forcing the iron doors,
dragged their burden upward to the
highest point of the pinnacle, 200 feet
above ground. The next morning the
elephant could be seen for a distance
Of i've miles, and farmers came to
town to inquire about it.
In removing the elephant a gang Of
workmen destroyed d section Of the
slate roof, and ten students must pay
the damages or be expelled.
