SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS
Asked Jurymen Summoned in New
York Case.

New York, July 22-Before Judge
Newburger. in the court of general ses-
sions, Lawrence Murphy formerly treas
urer of the Journeymen Stone Cutters
associate has been placed on trial for
grand larceny The specific charge is
that Murphy on May 1, 1902 appropria-
ted 1874, all the funds of the union
Some of the questions John F. McIn-
tyre, Murphy's counsel, asked in exam
lining talesmen which were regarded as
important and significant were:
IF the evidence during the trial Of
this case shows that it was customary
in this stonecutters' union to levy fines
and penalties upon master masons, own
ers builders and bosses, would this pre-
judice you against the defendant?
If it is shown that through threats
and fear these owners and builders have
given up to persons in the union large
sums of $50 900, $40. 900. $4,000 and $4,000
from time to time, would your verdict
be Influenced?
Gould you still return an unprejudic-
ed verdict" continued MIR. Mcintyre, If
we prove that persons connected with
the union were in the habit of meeting
in a saloon to arrange plans for extort-
ing money from owners, builders and
construction companies, and then divid-
ed among themselves these large sums
surrendered to them to prevent strikes
or to bring them to an end?''

City.
THE object of the association ex-
planned a member, lis to prevent fires.
This, it is expected, will be in a large
measure accomplished by inspection of
conditions in the various districts and
a close watch upon conditions in the
fire departments, the water supply. the
electrical VIKINGS, and the fire limits
1t is proposed to make suggestions to
the various boards of public works in
the cities of the state and to point out
defects in systems and methods as they
are found. The association will make
efforts to have the right men placed
where they will do the most good. 1t
will endeavOr to have members of city
councils appointed on boards and COM
mittees where their business training
will be of value to the municipality and
to the fire insurance companies
1.-The best association in the United
States is in Texas. and it is to its work
that the remarkable freedom from fires
in that state is attributed. There is
smaller percentage of loss by fire in
Texas than in any other state Missouri
has prepared the preliminaries for an
association and 1 understand the attor-
ney general has approved the plans and
bylaws and that a meeting will be held
in a few weeks to effect an organlza-
ton"
Another officer of the association said
the result of the organization will be to
lower rates for insurance in many
places THE suggestions to be made
reduce the number of fires by eliminat-
ing the danger. The reduction of the
number of fires will be followed by a
reduction in insurance rates..
