THE CHAMPION
MIXED PAINT
Sold by L. TAGGART has no

Sold by L. TAGGART has no
superior.
Fourteen years ago I painted my
house with these paints and am now,
for the first time since, repainting it.
H. L. Smith, the painter, says he never
knew of house in better condition
for painting after having stood so long.
A gentleman, whose name | will not
mention, living in our town, painted
his house thirteen years ago, with
these paints and he has engaged some
paints to repaint, saying that he would
have no other.
Dr. Heilman will also testify as to
the merits ofthese paints. County Jail
painted four years ago. John Lind's
two houses painted two years ago and
many others, all speak for the virtue
and staying qualities of these paints,
and is better evidence than any mans
word. Look at them; then buy the
Champion paints and paint your house
and be happy.
Also paper your house with the ele-
CANT wall paper at Taggart's and be
doubly happy.

Close Call for ProwIers.

Last Sunday night, about midnight,
four persons-two men and two wo-
men-attempted to pry open window
in the West Ward. The lady of the
premises was standing on the inside
and suddenly threw open the window
at the same time emptying a revolver
into the crowd, just as they were in
the act of using a pry on the window.
That the shot missed the party is no
fault of the plucky lady. No arrests as

WIRELESS SERVICE BETTER.
Chatter From an outside Station Makes
Less Trouble.

According to the representatives OF both
the Marconi and De Forrest systems OF wire
less 'elegraphy. there was less interior
ence yesterday with messages sent to their
shore stations from the wireless telegraph
boats accompanying the yacht race feet
than on other days of the races.
Mr.. Lathrop of the De Forrest system
said, however, that he had received word
from one Of the De Forrest operat ors that
the Highland station was again sending
out the annoying A B G. A c. "A B
c" signals which were persistently re-
peated on other days of the race and which
with other meaningless chatter from
some powerful wireless transmitter had
hindered the efforts of opposition stations
to get intelligent reports OF the race.
The De Forrest Company on Tuesday
overcame this annoyance to great extent
by installing more powerful transmitters
than had been In uSe on the other DAYS of
the races. Mr.. Lathrop said that his com
pany's receivers had not been troubled
by the MaTconi signals because the Marconi
communications came more slowly than the
De Forrest and that the operators were able
TO distinguish readily beween tic two.
Mr.. Bentley, representing the Marconi
system, denied emphatically Yesterday
that his company had had any arrange
ment with the De Forest people whereby
there should not be simultaneous operation
OF the two lines. Mr.. Iathrop of the De
Forest company said that the only under
standing on the subject was between the
operators Of the De Forest and Marconi
stations.
Mr.. Bentley of the Marconi company.
speaking Of this statement Of Mr.. Lathrop,
said:
understand that Mr.. Lathrop is now
saying that there was an offer on the part
Of the operator of his or our company to
refrain from simultaneous working That
ia as untrue as the statement, in which he
says he was misquoted, that there was an
agreement between his and our companies
There was no communication whatever
between the Marconi and De Forest opera
tors"

Board OF Inquiry 10 ASK why the Massa.
chusetls Struck q Rock

Commander Capps, Naval Constructor
at the Brooklyn navy yard, has forwarded
to Washington "a report of his examina-
ton Of the bottom of the battleship Massa-
chusetts. which struck rock near Bar
Harbor, about two weeks ago
No intimation of the contents of this
report could be obtained from Commander
Capps who said that it would be highly
improper for him to talk about the matter.
He declined to say whether the Massa-
chusetts Was so much damaged that she
would have to be put out Of commission, nor
would he even hint at W hat the cost Of repair
ing her would be thorough examination
, of the batteship's wounds was made by
Commander Capps yesterday In Dry Dock
No. 3. In this he was assisted by Rear
Admiral Rodgers, commandant of the
yard, Capt, Joseph G. Eaton of the Massa-
chusetts, Lieut. Hayes, the battleships
navigation officer, and Capt. J. A. b. Smith.
Capt Eaton was the only one who vsntured
to say that she would not have to go out of
commission.
Water WAS still flowing yesterday morn
ing from behind the rents in the battle
ships bottom near the keel. The work of
repairing the damage is to be begun imrne-
diately, and there WAS talk to the effect
that within six weeks the ship will be afloat
again. Between $4,000 and 500 600 was
a guess as TO the cost Of the repairs, made
by a man who said he was connected with
the Department Of Construction and
Repairs.
A board Of inquiry has been ordered to
investigate the circumstances of the COLI
sion and probably will convene next week.
1t has been taken for granted by the navaI
officers in the yard that Admiral Barker
will be called upon to state to this board
why he sent the Massachusetts from French
mans Bay during dense fog.

gossip all the way down from Saratoga.
II was that a betting commissioner, who

had gone to the bad.
According to this story the commissioner
made number Of pretty big bets on his

The bookmakerS, of course, thought
that the commissioner was acting for his
employer The latter, however. when
asked to settle the losses, already overdue,
threw up his hands in horror. He declared
the commissioner had never been ordered
to make the bets.
The racing man paid the losses to George
Wheelock, however, according to the story,
and then requested that no more bets on
markers be accepted as coming from him
He added that he would make cash bets
hereafter.
George Wheelock declined to discuss
the story. His brother Willie said. sug-

NATIONAL BUILDING UNION.


INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 27.-The national
officers OF the seven building trades unions
who met here yesterday to take preliminary
steps to secure an amalgamation OF the
several organizations completed the work
on basis satisfactory to every one present.
and adjournment was taken until Oct s.
when another meeting will be held here and
the amalgamation perfected.
The new organization will be known
as the National Federation Of Building
Trades Unions and will have a member
ship estimated at 100000. II was an
nounced by those who took part in the
preliminary meeting that the organiza-
tion Of such federation must not be taken
as movement against the two national
bodies, the American Federation Of Labor
and the National Building Trades Council
with which some of the trades are now
affiliated. 1t will not be the policy of the
new organization to tear down present
organizations or TO advocate secession.
All the statements made by members
OF the conference speaking for themselves
indicated that they believe a crisis is at
hand in the labor world and that ii is the
duty Of organized labor the country
over to meet the proposed National Em-
ployers Association with one monster labor
organization. One member said that it
was plain that the manufacturers Of the
country are organizing in opposition to
the unions and that these taken separately
would necessarily be at great disadvantage
and the only way to meet unified manu-
featuring class is with national union OF
laboring men, which will include all classes
Of organized labor.
