Recorder PiCkersgiII Places More
Fines of SIS Each in Determin-
alton TO Break Habit.
MEN Get RECKLESS.
Fines imposed Last Week were Repeated
and Tho e Carrying the Weapon are
Beginning to Think Twice Before Runn-
ing Risk of Getti-g Caught-Fines are
Effective.

Two more cases of carrying CONCEAL
ed weapons came up before Recorder
Pickersgill yesterday morning. The
judge has determined to break up this
habit of carving revolvers which is
prevalent among certain people in this
city.
The majority of these have no par
ticular reason for carrying the revol-
yer. In the last two weeks three
cases have come before the recorder
for this thing and at least two more
for threats to shoot someone. Each
case has met with swift justice to the
fullest extent of the law wherever
evidence enough to warrant it.
Two of the offenders were arrested
on Saturday night, John Shida, of
Stanford street, was drunk and while
engaged in making things warm
around his place was apprehended by
Officer Hansen. He offered resistance
with a blade jack but was soon sub
dued and taken to the station house.
At IL O'Clock the same night Mike
Dobo, of Fayette street, was arrested
for the same offense. He claimed that
while coming out of dance hall in
company with his wife, Mike Crohe
struck him over the head and he drew
his gun for protection. Officer Han
sen happened to be near and he pre-
vented anything serious happening.
Both men were fined $25 each and
their guns were taken. The judge
expects to have large sum contribut.
ed to the city treasury before the
practice is eliminated.

Another architect said that he
would not be surprised if the capital

would reach $40, 600, 900. There would
be building still going on in accord
ance with the increasing population,
but the building boom, he said, was

The Building Trades Employers

statement:
"We are prepared to take more
drastic measures than we ever did
before. We have done with parley-

where every head that bobs up will
be hit. On this we are all agreed.
"We have spent the summer in try

work might be resumed on a sane and
businesslike basis, but have been met
by treachery and uncalled for opposi-
tion.
"When work is resumed, and l can
not now predict when that will be,
we shall employ such men as we see
fit. We will take measures to have
all the men we want and will be in a
position where we will not be asking

prospects are not very encouraging
Just now, but he hoped the trouble
would soon blow over. He said it
appeared as though the limit had been
reached regarding labor demands and
that if the builders are going to strike
for various things they are only in
turing their fellow laborers who work
in the factories which supply the
material.
"There is plenty of WORK all over
the country" continued the speaker,
"but it is all tied up. Orders fol
terra Gotta have been cancelled be-
cause the buildings for which the
material is to be used, are tied up.
The local factories are feeling 1T.
Several of them have not much work
on hand and unless the building. trades
get together work will stop. Sam
Parks seems to be in control of the
situation now and he has made his
threats to close up everything. :"

The Hope, loaded with a cargo of
oysters, left this city on Friday and
had finished unloading her oysters,
and the return trip was started. The
Hope was just passing the foot Of
Hamilton avenue when the ferry boat
struck her across the bow, and she
was rapidly filing and would have
gone to the bottom if the captain of
passing tow boat, who had seen the
plight of the Hope, had not come to
her assistance. The sloop was taken
to the dock at Hamilton avenue where
she was hauled for repairs. The
damage, all told, will amount to about

The slack work in some OF the local
factories is causing no little concern
in some quarters hereabouts. The
story published in the Evening News
Saturday, telling of the men being
laid off in terra Gotta factories, mas
attracted some attention and some are
beginning to wonder about The winter.
The building trades have great deal
to do with local plants and the
moment they grow slack the effect is
felt here at once. So unsettled are
the affairs in New York that builders
had decided to stop everything and
reach some definite understanding
with the unions before they attempt
to continue.
Several times, it has been thought,
agreements have been reached, but
this has turned out to be mistake
and the unions are so divided among
themselves that everything is at
standstill Nearly every building OF
any size now erected uses terra Gotta
and the moment the work on these
buildings cease the local factories feel
it. Men who intended to invest In
building operations are Withholding
their capital, and plans drawn by
architects, at the direction of the
owners of property, are being aband-
oned by wholesale. The amount of
capital intended for building opera
tions in New ork, which it is known
will be Withdrawn, is estimated at
between $50, 900, 900 and $50, 900, 600.
Joseph M. Lawlor, supervising
architect, of 220 Broadway, said that
he had drawn plans for some large
buildings which were abandoned at
the last moment by the owners OF the
property. He pointed to some papers
below his desk, saying:
"There is plan for big CONNER
cial building. The owner of piece
of property had fully made up his
mind to build, but this week he said
he could not risk it in the present
condition of the building trade. He
has gone to Europe. He will in the
meantime be losing interest on the
money invested in the site.
81 know a case in which an owner
paid over half million dollars some
time ago for building and site, with
the intention of rebuilding this sum-
mer. He has given up all idea of do
ing so this season. AS good part OF
the money has been borrowed, he Is
paying interest on a large sum for
which here is practically no return. y
Mr.. Lawlor said he spoke very con
servatively when he said that at least
$50, 900, 600 intended for investment in
building operations this fall and next
spring had been helu back. Reports
from cities all over the country were
to the same effect.
II have been in the business fol
twenty years, he said, "and never
knew such chaotic condition. Ii
