ckinney Ia Out.

Chicago, July 21-After having been
kept from the knowledge of the general
public for several months it has leaked
out that G. M. Mckinney, the immi
grafton agent OF the Hartman lines,
has been relieved from the duties of his
office at Chicago, and that the immi
grafton bureau at this time is without a
permanent head. 1t was at first ru-
mored that the bureau was to be abol-
ished, since it has been found to be an
extra expense which brought no results
commensurate with the outlay, but this
is denied by the railroad officials who
are in touch with the situation, though
they decline to discuss the question at
any length.
- From sources which are authentic,
but which may not be quoted, it is
learned however, that the failure &
Mr.. Mckinney to produce the required
results was the prime cause of bis be-
ing discontinued as the head of the i'm
migration bureau and that his removal
from Office will not in the end affect the
work of the department in any degree
The Hartman people expected nat
url ally when the bureau had been in
working order Tor year or so that its
efforts would bring many more people
than usual to the sparsely settled re-
gions of the Northwest and thus in
crease the business Of the road, but
their expectations were not realized to
the extent desired and Il was decided to
reorganize the bureau, perhaps en-
different plan.
Those who have been interested in |
the immigration department of the |
work of the Hartman lines are of the |
opinion that when the bureau is once
more put on solid footing, which will
be at some time in the Fall, the head
quarters will be moved further West in
order to give the men at it's head more
intimate knowledge of the conditions
that have to be met in the work. When
the matter is taken up at the next meet
ng of the passenger traffic managers,
whieh-will be held in few weeks in
plans will in all probability be
for the reorganization of the
bureau on broader foundation than

A SLIP OF THE TONGUE.
1T Scum de~i Strange, But ConS0e~AaE
the Situation There Was Moth
INN Remarkable X AbOuk 1t

A matron of Mount Pleasant
through the need of lead pencil
furnished no end of embarrassment
to herself and great amusement to
the passengers of Fourteenth street
car one morning lately, says the
Washington Post. She evidently had
| come down town, as her attire would
indicate, for the express purpose OF
| shopping, and the conspicuous bag
which she carried was plainly in
tended to play an important part IN
/ the tour, expressing, as it were, the
matron's independence of the pleas
ure of the delivery wagons.
AS the car neared the business part
of town it became somewhat
crowded, and the conductors re-
quest to sit closer, please" had
rendered every ones discomfort
plainly apparent. Particularly true
was it to the tall, stately, we'll
groomed man who sat next to the
resident of Mount Pleasant, all of
which seemed to be her cue to begin
fumbling around in the deep bag, and
finally extracting the inevitable shop
ping list which was carefully exam
ined and again placed in the dark re-
cesses of the bag.
Then the matron suddenly thought
OF something, SO again the list saw
the light of day. No, the article was
not there, and from her attitude it
must have been important and not
to be forgotten, SO the search for
the lead pencil began during which
time the dignified gentleman had
very much more than his share of
Jolting, which oftener than once in
terrupted his review Of the morning
paper However he was very good
natured about it, and every time the
little woman said beg pardon" his
hand endeavored to reach his hat and
his polite nod assured her that it was
granted. But the lead pencil could
not be found. Bag and pocketbook
had been turned inside out, still it
was nowhere to be seen. Withal she
was modest little woman and
seemed to hesitate about asking the
CONJUNCTION or some one near her fOr
pencil. But with a quick resolve
she gently touched her neighbor's
arm. BEG pardon" she said, may
l borrow your shoestrings OF
course there was general litter
throughout the car.
my shoestrings, madam" said the
aristOcratic looking man.
"Oh, did I say shoestringsl" ex-
claimed the little woman. II meant
your lead pencil; shoe strings i. what
l want to add to my shopping list"
The little woman soon returned the
pencil amid bushes and thanks, and
settled back in her seat determined to
remain quiet until her destination
was reached. Then the Willard was
in sight and the stately gentleman
prepared to leave the car, the con-
ductor in the meanwhile having en-
tered it.
Good morning, senator" said the |
conductor, as his passenger passed
out
Everybody, OF course, looked at the
little woman from Mount Pleasant,
who had heard, too.

MIIL-OWNERS THROW DOWN
THE GAUNTLET TO UNIONS
Backed by the Building Trades COun-
ell, They Defy the Carpenters and
MfIImen

OAKLAND, April 13.-Another
phase of the old fight between the
Building Trades Council and the Dis
trict Council of Carpenters developed
to-day when the Mill-owners' Associ-
alton received notice from the carpen-
ters that unless the four men who
were expelled from the Millmen's s
Union for remaining at work during
the recent strike were discharged from
the mills where they are now employ
ed the millmen in those mills would
be ordered out.
The Mill-owners' Association came
back with the assertion that the min
ute any men were called out they
would close down every mill in Ala
media County. Now the Building
Trades Council is in the fight. j. b.
Bowen, business agent of the council,
said tonight;
THE mills will be kept open, no
matter what action the District
Council of Carpenters sees fit TO take.
and the men will be protected. The
threat of the carpenters to call out
the men is an empty one, for not half
the millmen would obey the call"

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
Ills Broadway, April 13.

1llS broadway, ADIll lo.
City Councilman John L. Howard
has placed his resignation in the hands
of Mayor Olney and the City Council.
Pressure of private business affairs
and i'll health are the reasons Mr..
Howard assigns for his action in re-
tiring from the city government The
necessity of going away for a time
also led Councilman Howard to re-
sign. for. he declared TO his callers.
he believed his place should be filled
in view of the public business now be-
fore the Council.
But ii is not certain that Mr.. How
ard will be permitted to resign. The
Mayor is anxious that the city snail
not lose the services of the gentleman,
and an effort will be made to retain
him. AS soon as Mayor Olney was
notified of the resignation he decided
to take steps toward inducing Mr..
Howard to stay. The Mayor suggested
that the Council should not accept the
resignation, but should grant Mr.. How
ard the leave of absence necessary to
cover his projected three months trip
abroad.
II feel that the city cannot afford to
lose Mr. Howard" said Mayor Olney
tonight and 1 should feel disappoint-
ed if it shall become necessary for me
to appoint his successor. He is run
down and must take a rest. He be-
lieves there should be a representative
in his place during his absence. / hope
the Council will vote him a leave of
absence to cover the time he shall be
away"
Mr. Howard left to-day for Victoria.
There he will join his wife and
daughter for a tour of Europe, expect
ing to be away about three months.
In the City Council Mr.. Howard has
been conspicuous as the exponent of
clean-cut business methods. He has
made exhaustive studies in the water
question and was foremost in arrang-
ing the bond issue programme. AS
chairman of the auditing and finance
committee, Councilman Howard's work
was that OF master hand. He is

rany and one of the representative

bles of Fourth Congressional Dis
trict Politicians.
The Republican factions of the
Fourth Congressional District which
have aired their differences before the
Election Commission concluded their
arguments late yesterday afternoon.
Maurice L. Asher presented the
claims of his Congressional commit
tee and Louis Anderson performed a
similar service for the Martin Kelly
committee. In reply to a question
by Colonel Eddy Asher said that the
Congressional convention which had
been held in Sacramento had been
called by the local Republican County
Committee, in conformity with the
general custom. Eddy said that the
call for the convention should have
come from the Republican Fourth
District Congressional committee and
that the Sacramento convention had
been called without authority.
Martin Kelly read a statement ex-
planning the call for the Fourth Con-
gresSional District convention, which
met separately from the State con-
vention. The former committee nom
mated julius Kahn candidate for
sional committee. Kelly said there
were sixty-one delegates at the con-
vention, which he called to order.
Asher said there were seventy-four
delegates at his convention, they be-
ing independent of the State conyen-
ton, and further that Kelly's dele
gates were part and parcel of his con-
vention and had declared that they
had not attended any previous con-
vention. Kelly spoke at length and
then Eddy held the floor for an hour
or more. The case was submitted and
the commission promised to render a
decision to-day at 10:30 a. m.
