STOVE MOUNTERS MEET
MAYOR BOOKWALTER RECEIVES
THEM IN CLEVELAND CLUB BLOCK.
Presidents and Secretary's Reports
to BE in Satisfactory Shape.

The tenth annual convention of the Stove
Mounters' International Union began yes
terday morning in the Cleveland Club hall
on West Washington street. About fifty
delegates were present, representing over
three thousand members of the union. The
session was opened by an address of well
come by Mayor Bookwalter. George Custer,
president of the Central Labor Union also
made a short address. The speeches were
responded to by Vice President Alan Stud
home.
The morning was. mainly occupied with
the appointing of committees and the re-
ports of the officers. President ]. F.
Tierney, in his report, spoke of the progress
the union made during the past year, and
gave a summary of the work accomplished.
The secretary's report showed an increase
in membership of 10 per cent. and a
raise in wages in number of localities. At
present there but two strikes among
the stove mounters-one in Toronto, Cam
ada. and one in Geneva, n. Y. Neither of
them is serious. The afternoon session
was devoted to lengthy discussion as to
the jurisdiction of the Steel Range Work
ers, which are affiliated with the Stove
Mounters. The Sheet Metal Workers are
claiming that the Range Workers are an
affiliation of their order and are endeavoring
to claim them. The delegate to be elected
at the closing session of the convention this
week TO represent the Stove MOunters at
the convention of the American Federation
of Labor was instructed to oppose all ef-
forts on the part of other organizations to
obtain jurisdiction over the Steel Range
Workers.
INCREASE IN DUES.
Another question discussed was that of
the apprenticeships. 1t was decided to let
it rest as it was last year-one apprentice
to fifteen journeymen. The term of an ap-
prentice is three years.
The question that will occupy the con-
vention to-day and one OF the greatest i'm
portance, Is that OF the increase IN dues.
There are some who believe that the dues
should be raised a few cents, while others
contend that, the present rate is satisfac-
tory. The place of the next convention will
also be settled to-day.
The convention received an invitation yes
terday from the local union of this city to
take a trolley ride last night. 1t was ac-
cepted, and the party spent the evening
viewing the city by electric light To-mor-
row night the convention will hold the an
nual banquet in the Cleveland Club Hall.
The committees appointed yesterday were
as follows: Officers reports-Cunnie Eek
hart Evansville Ind Timothy Dwyer, De-
troit, Mich; Charles SchOrZmiger. Hamil-
ton O. On constitution-Edward Fay,

TICKET BROKERS' BONDS
THEY ARE FURNISHED AFTER
GRAND JURY MAKES REPORT.
Indictments Against Three Brokers
and a Baggage Master-SeveraI
Prisoners Arraigned.

A. l.. Messing, Samuel Click, NJ. s. Mey-
berg and ]. E. Finley, who were indicted
by the Marion county grand jury charged
with forgery and conspiracy as ticket
scalpers. appeared in the sehriff's office
yesterday morning and gave bond for their
appearance in the criminal Court.
The indictments are the result of an at
tempt by the railroads to put stop to the
ticket brokerage business and it is alleged
that the men changed tickets once punched
by filling the punched holes so that they
could sell them again. The brokers in
dicted belong to the national association
having about 800 members, and thesoutcome
OF the fight will be watched with interest.
The bonds of Messing, Meyberg and Click
were each fixed at $1,000, and the bond of
Finley, the Big Four baggage man, was
fixed at s1,vo0. Mr.. Meyberg says they are
buying and selling tickets all the time and
it was shown that the plugged tickets could
only be detected under a magnifying glass,
the brokers, if they did not change them,
would not have noticed the changes. The
men gave as a reason for not appearing
before the grand jury that their attorneys
had advised against It,
The grand jury in its final report yester-
day returned indictments against Meade
Barr the young man from Elizabethtown,
Ind, who shot and killed Eugene Burke, a
negro, near kingan'S packing plant q few
weeks ago, and Edward Bottoms, who Is

pass; Edward Dixon. petit larceny, and
John Mahoney, grand larceny. All the de-
PENDANTS were arraigned before Judge AL
ford and pleaded not guilty.\

cox SUCCEEDS WHITEHEAD.
Works Board Changes Engineers at
Brightxvood Water Plant.

On account of friction which has existed
between employees of the Brightwood water
works plant f. b. Whitehead, the engineer,
has been discharged by the Board of Pub
lie Works. Samuel Cox will succeed White
head. and Cox's appointment will be an
nounced in a day or two.
1t is said that a good deal of friction has
existed between Whitehead and his as
sistant, w. c. Oldridge. Major Megrew, of
the board, says that Whitehead was dis
charged for the reason that the water plant
could not be efficiently conducted so long
as Whitehead remained in control. Politics
have nothing to do with the matter, he
says.

Elk SENATOR BREE ON COLONEL
LYNCH

Ex-senator James P. Bree, national
secretary of the A. o. H, yesterday re-
ceived a letter from National President
James E. Dolan regarding the issuance
of call for mass meetings of the Hi
bernians throughout the country to pro-
test against the sentence of Colonel Ar
thur Lynch, convicted of treason in
fighting with the Beers against Great
Britain.
Senator Bree was requested to for
ward to the president his views in the
matter and give such other advice as
he could. BY virtue of his office Sena-
tor Bree would necessarily sign an or
der for mass meeting of the A. 0. H,
but at the present time he has taken
no action in this regard. In speaking
yesterday of the feeling of condemna-
ton over the sentence of death passed
upon Colonel Lynch Mr.. Bree said:
From the letter I received this
morning from President Dolan it APP
pears that the sentiment is strongly in
favor of protesting against the SEN
tence. If any meetings are held in the
New England states we will probably
fall in line.
"Plans are under way for monster
mass meetings of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, to be held March 4, to
commemorate the centennial of the ex-
ecution of Robert Emmett, who was be-
headed March a, 1903. 1t has been pro-
posed that the Hibernians defer action
in the Colonel Lynch matter until these
meetings are held

CITY AND AUTOS,

Judge Roraback has handed down
the text of a decision in a case that will
be of absorbing interest to automobile
owners, the owners of trolley railroads
and to taxpayers as well, as it will tend
to establish a precedent by which dam
ages sought by Automobiles may be
collected hereafter.
The case is that of George Lavigne
against the city of New Haven, which
was tried in this court some months
since
On May 20 of last year Mr.. Lavigne,
who is we'll known gun expert. was
riding in an automobile at the corner
of Howe and Chapel streets. BY rea-
son of a hole in the pavement between
the rails of the Fair Haven and West
vile Railroad company, which was
about four feet long, seven inches wide
and four inches deep, the automobile
was swerved from its course and
plunged headlong into a tree.
In his decision Judge Roraback says:
Il am inclined to the opinion that our
statutes do not release the city from
the statutory liability to the traveller,
but simply make the railway company
also liable to him, or answerable to the
city when compelled to pay. The mu-
nicipality is primarily liable, although
an injured party may proceed against
it or the railway corporation.
Therefore, l have reached the con-
clusion that the plaintiff is entitled to
recover substantial damages, which I
find to be S400."
