Labor Wars.

The third panel Of the SheriH's jury held
it's annual dinner at the Hotel Savoy last
night. About 800 guests and jurors were
present. The guests of honor included
Borough President Jacob A. Cantor Su-
preme Court Justices Van Brunt and Ieven-
tritt, Recorder Con and Police Commis-
sioner Greene Mr.. Cantor was toast
master.
Tho speakers were Mr.. Cantor. Sheriff
O'Brien, Charles +. Mathewson, John II
Van Wormer and W. D. Murphy. MIR.
Mathewson made the hit Of the evenin &
with speech, in which he began by Pokin
fun at the Sherin's jurors and ended by
denouncing as un-American the violence
Of the striking coal m ner in Penn
sylvania. In part he said;
When a man can no longer walk the public
streets in safety nor work f6r .he ar has n
asked permission to labor OF body TO which
he owes no allegiance, then the time has

in Pennsylvania Hut the mobs then met a
Bonaparte and he moved them down IN

terror was quickly ended. and lrst one sucn
lesson to-day would bring about the same
results .
They saw that the Constitution stands in

when he eat down, but IL was noticed that
Sheriff O'Brien. who used to I've a labor
leader, appeared much discounted by the

factory, at Fifteenth street and Second
avenue. Mr. Thwaitess business Ia the
making Of lanterns and galvanizing.
The father and son were partners until
recently and both are said to have made
fortunes out of the business. Several
weeks ago the peace Of the partnership Of
George Thwaites 4 Son was disturbed
by proposal Of the son that the firm should
branch out extensively. This idea was
opposed by the father and when the son
insisted on having his way the dispute
became a quarrel and the quarrel became
so bitter that two weeks ago the partnership
was dissolved. .,
An agreement was then made that Mr.
Thwaites should hire his son. That ar
rangement continued in force until last
Friday night, when the quarrel broke out
again The row ended in the fathers dis
charging his son from the place.
On Saturday morning the elder Thwaites
discovered that on Friday night some one
had got into the Office and opened the safe,
taking from 1t all the account and order
books Of the factory. The elder Thwaites
said last night that the some one was his
son, and that the watchman saw him take
the books.
Because OF the loss of the books Mr.,
Thwaites says he was unable TO have any
ordered goods delivered or anything but
routine work done and that his losses for
that one day amounted to thousands OF
dollars He made these representations to
city Magistrate Tighe, who issued warrant
for the younger Thwaites Yesterday.
The warrant was executed last night and
the Younger Thwaites was taken to the
Fifth avenue police station. He succeeded
in getting bail.

he worked. he helped them and showed
them how to complete the work.
The snow house melted down a little
under the sun on Sunday and melted some
more yesterday. 20 in the afternoon the
two younger boys went to the back yard
Of 2loo, next door, and shoveled all the
snow there into their own yard. Then

That was done. Tommy, to do the work
as he thought It ought to be done. crawled
in AZ far as he could and then lay on hia

however, had become SO weak through
thawing that It couldn't stand much addi-
tional weight and while the younger bows
were working like Trojans outside the
whole mass suddenly caved In on the oldest
Of the three.
Lawrence and Ray shouted for help and
their cries were heard and answered by
Mr.. McKenna. the jsnitor. DR.. X. K
MacAlpin, who lives on the ground floor of
the house. and by friend Of the doctors.
The four men aud three boys seized shovels
and went at the pile with a ven geance.
Mr.. McKenna says it seemed ten minutes
before they uncovered one Of the boys
legs. Then they tried to pull him cut .
but the snow on the rest OF his body was
too heavy and they had to shovel some
more snow of to get him out.
By the time the boy was taken out Drs.
Cook and Good had been summoned from
the neighborhood and they and DR.. Mac.
Apin worked over the boy for an hour
and q half. trying to induce respiration.
The boy, however. was apparently dead
when he was taken out Of the snow and the
doctors didn't succeed in getting him to
respond even family to their treatment.

Crane of Massachusetts,
Mentioned as Hanna's
Successor.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU. 14O6 G. STREET,
N. w, WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-There
was political as well as a social side
to the Cabinet dinner given by the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt tonight.
Senator Hanna was not present.
There were politicians in large num-
bers at the table, however, and if the
chairman of the National Committee
could not attend, at least there was
present the possible future chairman
of the committee. who will conduct the
campaign in 1904. in the person of for
mer Governor Crane of Massachusetts.
Three States were represented by
their Governors or Governors elect
Massachusetts New York and Ohio.
1t is understood among politicians
here that while the Cabinet dinner was
ostensibly a purely social function,
with the wives of noted politicians also
as guests, the purpose of the President
was to draw together leading Repub-
licans to discuss New York State and
national politics.
Governor Odell of New York arrived
late this afternoon and was driven to
the White House, the guest of the
President. Senator PIatt and the Gov
ernor soon had a long talk at the Ar
lington Hotel, and when it was over
both said it had been very satisfactory
and the Governor went back to the
White House.
If the newspapers are going to get
up another fight between the Governor
and myself" said Platt, they will
merely have to deny it the next day,
There was an important political
gathering at the White House table
this afternoon, when the President en-
tertained Secretary Root, Secretary
Cortelyou, Senator Lodge and former
Governor Crane. This luncheon may
be taken as a further confirmation of
the intention of the President to have
Crane for his campaign manager next
year.
The President depends very largely
on the political advice of Senator
Lodge, Secretary Root and Secretary
Cortelyou, and it is announced that,
although Secretary Root is to retire
from the Cabinet in January, he will
by no means retire from the position
he has held ever since Mr.. Roosevelt
entered public life, of being an adviser
of the President. This was intimated
very strongly to-day and means that
the financial world, in any effort to
defeat Mr.. Roosevelt, will not have
the support of Root, on which it has
been counting.
Governor Odell and Senator Platt
will have a conference tomorrow. The
Governor will return to New York in
the afternoon.
