PEAsLEY WILL WAIT.
Has Something Up His Sleeve for
Later Meeting of Board.

Asstt<<A 1ASctAAS Va A'VOA>
Judge Peasley must have been born
in Ftghterstown and lived there long
enough to have acquired habits which
win stick to him until he crosses over
to the silent majority. This must not
be understood as implying that the
Judge makes a business Of going
around with a chip on his shoulder
and ready to put UP his dnkes to every
body that does not step out OF his way
the idea intended being that when the
occasion calls for 1T he can dom his war
paint and do battle with all corners In
a manner which would reflect credit on
a knight Grant of We olden time. Last
night the Judge walked into the ofdce
of the board of public works with his
hand on his hip pocket and 1urid
glare In his eye, and after looking
about him he dropped into a chair and
remarked that he had come down to
block some nefarious scheme which he
suspected was about to be put through
the board of public works with view
to benefiting one or two land specula-
tors. Then he paused and after catch
ing his breath stated that unless he
had been misinfortned there was some
thing wrong in the application for a
sidewalk on Euclid avenue and wanted
to know IL the board of public works
was going to make cafspGw OF itself
to pull other peoples chestnuts out of
the fire. The Judge then produced a
map showing q short strip OF land
AUDITING on the highway belonging to
the heirs of the iate James Scovfl,
back of which O. III. Gables is putting
mp a building. and limited that the end
in view in getting walks ordered there
was to force the Scovfn heirs to sell to
the man VINO owns the property in the
rear at a sacrifice.
One Of the co almissioners stated that
he didn't think the board had any
knowledge Of the situation which the
judges map revealed, and that In any
case the petition would have to stand
on its merits anyway. Mr. Patton ex-
planned that already two-thirds of the
property owners in that street have
laid walks and that he was very anx-
ious to see the rest comply with the
law so that ne and others might enjoy
the benefit of walk clear to the troll
ley cars. He had no particular inter
est in the walk at the end Of the street
where the Seovill property is located,
but he admitted circulating the petition
and was free to state that there was
nothing back Of it but the good of the
whole people While Mr. PattOn was
talking JUICE Peasley kept his eyes
riveted upon him and when he got
through, instead of pitching into the
petitioners and everybody else, he re-
marked In very good natured way
that inasmuch as the hearing was to
be postponed he should prefer to wait
and state his case when the matter
comes up for another airing. 1t is I'M
derstood that things are bordering upon
open warfare in that district and prob
ably that Is one reason why the board
of public safety asked for an addition
al appropriation Of $500 last night.

witnesses that had been s%ubpoenaed to
testify against the previous regulations

The afternoon was devoted to argu-
ments. so that only little more than two
hours is left for arguments tomorrow.
Assistant District Attorney Darby ar
raigned the defendants as conspirators in
the strongest terms. and, while he did not
undertake to defend John J.. Ryan. he did
defend his testimony by reviewing IT in
confederation of other witnesses
Charles A. Bakers arraignment of John

the former trial. and he pressed his in

a conspiracy between the defendants and

American Federation OF Labor Also
Insists ON Removal of w. A. Mil
Ter From His Position.

Boston. Nov. 1a-The American Fedora
ton Of Labor to-day disposed summarily
Of the "open-shop'' issue, as raised in the
case of William A. Miller, now employed
in the Government Printing Office at
Washington. and the Miller case itself. by
unanimously declaring in favor of the
union shop in Government as well as in
private enterprises. n by petitioning
President Roosevelt to re-examine the
evidence offered against Miller, and IL
verified. to remove Miller from the serv-
ice.
Although the resolution adopted pre-
scented the federation's view on both
open shop and the Miller case. the is
sues are kept entirely distinct.
The re-examination of the Miller case is
moi requested because Miller Is a nom
unionist. a circumstance formerly urged
as a reason for his removal. but because
the federation believes Miller Is totally
unfit to be in charge of working people,"

LOCKS HIS THREE
VICTIMS IN BOX.
Lone Robber Takes SIT From Sa-

Fastening Ice Chest.

A bold saloon robbery was committed at
No. 1925 North Broadway yesterday morn

held up the bartender and two patrons of
the bar and then compelled them to get
into the ice box.
Fred Schwier. night bartender for John

Stepping up to the stove the man rubbed
his hands and remarked: It's cold put
