Duane street and Broadway. The general
contractor for these is Otto NJ Eidlitz.
All Of the other trades have been thrown
out Of work in consequence and are still

WE'RE PRETTY BIG.
Facts About u Tsld At Meeting Of the
Manufacturers Association.

The Manufacturer Association Of New
York met at its headquarters in Montague
street, Brooklyn. last night with President
William McCarroll in the chair. Two
paintings of Ludwig Nissen and Richard
w. cambridge. former presidents OF the
association, were unveiled by President
MoCarroll amid cheers. The Hon. o. P.
Austin, Chief Of the Bureau Of Statistics,
spoke on .Our Supremacy in Manufact-
uring.' He said America had become
the worlds greatest exporter OF domestic
products. The gross value OF the manu-
facturers Of the United States had grown
from about $500 100000 in 1910 to $lS.0O0,-
time, had advanced from the bottom Of tho
list Of great manufacturing nations to the
very head.
Mr.. Aust in called attention to the growing
demand Of the manufacturers OF the United
States for the products Of other parts Of the
world, especially the tropics, for use In
manufacturing. The value OF raw material
imported for use in manufacturing in the
fiscal year 1908, he said, was S375, 100000
against 3l49, n00,o 600 in 1883 and $2ls, 600 600
in 1893. Raw material for use in manu-
featuring formed Fl per cent. OF the i'm.
portations In 1883, rs per cent. In 1899 and
SIS per cent. Of the total in 1903.
Comparing the growth of the ,nanufac..
lures in the United States with that OF
older manufacturing countries from 1910
to 1894, Mr.. Austin found that the increase
on the part OF the United States alone
during that period was greater than that
OF France, Germany and the United King
dom combined. The United States pro-
duced three-fourths Of the worlds cotton
length those Of all Europe. These great
facts, coupled with the ingenuity and energy
OF the American workmsn, furnished, Mr..
Austin said. the principal reasons for
our supremacy in manufacturing and for
believing that that supremacy was to con-

CALLS MAYOR LEEDS INFIDEL.
Stamford Methodist Parson Also Gets
After Roosevelt, Woodruff and Deyery.

STANFORD, Conn, Sept. 21.-Mayor
Charles Henry Leeds, who has just an
nounced his intention Of taking course in
atheist last night by the Rev. W. ]. Cady
pastor of the Maple Avenue Methodist
Church, who, two months ago, startled his
congregation by displaying on the pulpit two
TASKS Of whiskey. which he said had been
bought that Sunday. Yesterday Mr. Cady
included Mayor Leeds in big company, for
he also criticised President Roosevelt,
Timothy L. Woodruff, Big Bill Devery and
Bill Brennan. Chief of Police of Stamford.
The occasion for this criticism WAS some
remarks that these men had made in re-
gard to selling liquor on Sunday.
ut is indeed hard to imagine that man,
then Commissioner OF Police, then an
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy, then a
Colonel, then Vice-President and finally
President, could say 7 would willingly well
come the time when workingman could
get his glass of beer and q sandwich on
certain hours on Sunday just think of
elevating such man to the highest Office
in the country
Mr.. Cady quoted from published sayings
Of Woodruff and Devery. The quotation
from Devery was:
If you will elect me Mayor l will insti-
tute cleaning day like moving day in hell.
Having done with Roosevelt, Woodruff
and Devery Mr.. Cady started after Mr..
Leeds. Think of city Magistrate" he
said, "looking for higher honors who could
say this"
Here Mr.. Cady read quotations of part
Of the pamphlet which Mayor Leeds issued
on the Presbyterian confession OF faith.
Mr.. Cady, and then he went on to prove 1t
more conclusively by reading a letter from
one of his church people. The letter said
that before Mr.. Leeds was elected Mayor
an appeal was made to him for contribu-
ton TO n mission fund. Mr.. Leeds replied
that he was not interested in missions,
but if it was concert or q dance that was
being gotten up he would be glad to con-
tribute.
Mayor Leeds denies having said such a
thing. 1t has been known for some time
that such a letter was in existence. and
Mayor Leeds was aware Of it, but somehow
it did not seem to trouble him very much
This man. continued Mr.. Cady, this
deep-seated infdel, may go to college for
two or three years and get an LII. d. or
that will never make him fitted to be a leader
of the people. 1t is not brains, but charac-
ter, we want.
II ask you to throng the primaries for
the purpose Of demanding the nomina-
ton of the cleanest, purest and best type
OF American manhood that can be found
If we fail to do that then our nation will
die, for by righteousness shall we live and
by sin snail we be dethroned.#

y TIALS COMMITTEE.

tn Members Named by President Buchanan
Parks Watched by Several Detectives
ON . warning Frem New York That
He MiEiit Use Desperate Methods.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Sept, 2t.-Surrounded
by detectives ready at any moment to place
him under arrest should any violence OCCUR
Sam Parks started the fight for the recog-
milton Of himself and his delegation from
New York Local Union No. ., on the floor Of
the convention Of the Iron Workers at In
dustrial Hall to-day.
The case Of the entire New York dele
cation was referred to the committee ON
credentials. Parks threw down the gauut-
let to President Buchanan at the beginning
Of the meeting. No sooner had Mayor
Reed finished his address than Parks was
demanding hearing. President Buchanan
refused to recognize him, as there was an
other speaker on the programme.
Parks denounced the mode OF procedure
of the president, and was only called to
order alter it seemed as II the entire number
Of delegates would take part in the dis
| cussion.
At this juncture another delegate adj
dressed the members OF the local organiza-
that he hoped they would not take offence
at the exhibition just seen and that he
hoped that it would be avoided in the
future.
This only made Parks start anew, but the
Chair at last succeeded in calling the house
to order and the presentation OF creden-
tials was taken up. After the credentials
had been presented to the secretary, the
matter Of accepting them was taken up
by the meeting and committee appointed
to pass on them.
1t is before this committee appointed
by President Buchanan that Parks will make
his hardest fight. 1t Is expected that the
New York delegation, Of which Parks
ia the leader. will put up the strongest con-
test ever seen in the union.
Chief OF Police Hayes a short time ago
received a telegram from New York au-
thorities that Parks would gain recog-
milton in the convention il he had to resort
to violent means, and TO watch him in case
an outbreak Of such nature should occur.
Chief Hayes. in compliance with the re-
quest, has detailed detectives to watch
the walking delegate, and strict guard
is being kept. The meeting adjourned
at noon until 10 o'clock tomorrow
In the meantime the committee on creden-
tials will pass on the eligibility Of the New
York delegation ard hear the evidence Of
the contestmg factions.
At late hour the committee members
said they had not decided as to seating
Parks.

rested for ENLIGHTENMENT.

NEVADA, Mo, Sept. 21.-The James
Younger Wild West Show has lost two of it's
stars. The management has secured the
arrest OF Cole Younger; his nephew, II. Y.
Hall, and F. G. Lindenfelder, charging them
with the ENLIGHTENMENT of $1,000.
This action followed suits filed against
the show by Younger for SCI, 600 and by
James for $500. The plaintiffs said they
were damaged in these sums by the failure
of the real owners to equip the show ac-
cording to contract and by the refusal TO
drive away the grafters.
Both James and Younger say there is
absolutely nothing in the embezzlemeut
charge and speak Of 1t as a purely re-
taliatory policy.

taken possession Of the power house near by,

rifles and as the seven men stepped from
the car the situation bore sinister aspect.

were nearly month in arrears.
