CONGRESS- or COLONIAL DANES.
The Members Number $3.50 From Colonial
and Isis From Noi-COlOniai States.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The National
Society of the Colonial Danes of America
began it's biennial congress here to-day.
To-day's session was devoted to the read
ing Of the reports of officers, showing satis-
factory progress. The registrar reported
the number of members as 1899 from
Colonial States and 5l5 from non Colonial
States. The chapters in the nom Colonial
States, of which there are twenty-one,
have but one delegate each in the congress,
while the chapters in the thirteen original
States have five each. The movement for
full representation from the nom Colonial
States, which has been agitated at previous
congresses. has been renewed at the present
session. but it is not thought likely any
change will be made in the basis of repre-
resentation.
The executive committee Of the society
has recommended the erection by the So
ciety of a memorial at Jamestown, Va,
of the landing Of the first colonsts at that
place. The memorial will probably take
the form Of a reproduction Of the first
church erected there, of which nothing now
remains but the foundations. The propo-
sition will come up for action late in the
meeting.

DANGER IN 4 NEW IRON STRIKE.

All American Bridge Co. Contracts.

Begins In Pittsburg and May Extend to
All American bridge Co. Contracts.
PrrTsBURo, May 4.--President Buchanan
Of the International Association of Struct-
ural and Bridge Workers, tonight or
dered the members of the Local ?, en-
ployed by the American Bridge Company,
to strike.
The local embraces a territory OF 1856
miles surrounding Pittsburg. The griev-
ance is alleged to be that thirty-five nom
union men were employed on a bridge
contract at Cory, Pa. About 900 will quit
in the morning and thousands more will be
affected.
The American Bridge company controls
more than IS per cent of the structural
iron work in the country and il the strike
extends to other contracts of the company
peace In the building trade will not be
of long duration.
Buchanan who is here in New York
was talking over the long distance
telephone with representatives of both
sides in Pittsburg at intervals all of
yesterday and trying to stave OF the
strike. As to this city. he could not
say how much work was being done by the
American Bridge Company here. II the
company is doing any, directly or indi-
rectly, he said. it may be affected il the
strike spreads.

SAM PARKS is DEAD.
One-Time Ruler or the HOusesmiths Passes
Away In Sing Sing.


Sam Parks, who as walking delegate of
the old Housesmiths and Bridgemen's
Union, held up employers and sold out
fellow workmen. died in Sing Sing Prison
yesterday. When Parks went to Sing
Sing on Nov he was put at work in the
fibre brush shop, but his condition soon be-
came so serious as result of consumption
that he was taken 10 the hospital where he
remained until his death.
Parks, who was 3S years old, came TO
this country from Ireland when he Was a
boy OF IA. He worked successfully as a
logger in the North Woods. a railroad brake
man, a Lake sailor, a coal shovelIer and
railroad section hand.
He was one Of the first men to learn the
trade OF structural steel bridge building,
and soon became foreman. His first
woH of that kind was done in Chicago.
In this city he fought his way to the front
of the union, and by his cunning and brute
strength made it machine for the cOllec-
ton of graft.
Parks always declared that the money
ne took from the employers went to the
union, but it was openly charged that he
played false with both sides and that he
first came to this city as the paid employee
drive competitors out OF business.
Parks's boast at the height Of his power
was that no building could go on in this city
without his consent. His downfall began
last May, when Nils Poulson OF the Hecla
Iron Works accused him of extortion and
helped to bring about his Indictment.
Parks was sent to Sing Sing on this charge,
but was released on certificate of reason
able doubt, and on Labor Day he marched
in the parade.
Parks's second conviction was on charges
brought by the Tiffany Studio Company.
For this he was sent to Sing Sing, where
he died.
j. W. Johnston. secretary and treasurer
of the International Union of Housesmiths
and Bridgemen went to Ossining yesterday
and brought Sam Parks's body here. The
body was taken to the boarding house at
2ll East Eighty-seventh street, where Mrs
Parks has been living since her husband
was taken to Sing Sing. The funeral will
probably take place on Sunday.
ALBANY, May A delega alton Of labor
representatives from New York city reached
Albany at noon to-day to petition Gov.
Odell to pardon Sam Parks who died in
Sing Sing prison this morning. In the
committee were James B. McCabe, presi-
dent Of the Central Federated Union; ex-
President James Holland and James Hand,
a delegate of the union. Although the COM
mittee heard of Parks's death soon after
reaching Albany. they determined to see
the Governor, but did not get an audience
with him until nearly 1 o'clock. An appli-
cation for Parks's pardon has been on file
in the executive chamber for some time

WOMEN TOLD TO STAY AWAY.
Rebuked by the Judge for Attending the
Powell Murder Trial.

DOVER, Del, May 4.-The testimony in
to-day's session of the trial of Mrs. Powell
for the murder OF Estella Albin was such
that before the night adjournment the
women in the court house were re buked
by the Chief Justice. He said:
"Let me say TO all whom it may concern
that we do not think this court room during
this trial is proper place for women. The
testimony Ia such that women should
shrink from It rather than gather to hear
t."
Mrs. Powell's lawyers managed to have
the axe handle which they viii claim was
used by Essie Albin TO attack Mrs. Powell
admitted as an exhibit. They brought it
in under cross-examination OF the States
own witnesses.
DR.. Alfred Robin. the expert who makes
the Bordet blood test and the pathologist
for the Samaritan Hospital. Philadelphia.
testified that certain spots on the clothing
worn by Mrs. Powell on the day Of the
murder were human bloodstains.

SUE UNIONS PRESIDENT
For Damages Employers SUFFERED BY Car.

A suit of interest to labor rganizatlon,

Samuel and Thomas Thompson, carpenters
and joiners. and the defendant George
Kern, president of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners. LOCAL 275.
The Thompsons got contract in March,
1901, for putting in the framework OF
building in East lOlst street, The contract
price was 81 200. and work was continued
until june s. 1vOl, when walking delegate
of the union called out all Of the men en-
ployed by the contractors, on sympa-
thetic strike to help out the union plasterers.
who had quit work some time before.
All of the men employed by the Thomp-
sons were union men, and the contractors
ailege that they were damae cd to the ex-
tent OF 81 40 by reason OF the sympathetic
strike. They hold that the brotherhood.
which ordered the sympathetic strike, is
responsible TO them for the damage es it
caused them. The brotherhood is not in
corporated.
G. NJ. Beattie, counsel for the brother
hood said yesterday that the suit would be
Wig orously fought, as it was the first oppor-
tunity in these courts to test the right Of
union to call men out on a sympathetic
strike.

rLAN TO TURN BALDWIN DOWN.
McAdoo Heads on the Scheme to Put
Grant to the Front.

Police Commissioner McAdoo made q
sudden change yesterday in the arrange-
nents for Saturdays police parade. The
change was made TO head Oh an attempt
to force Inspector Sylvester D. Baldwin
Of Brooklyn out OF the parade in order
that Inspector Donald Grant might ap-
pear
Inspector Grant was recently reinstated
by order Of the courts. A year ago he
was tried and dismissed on charges Of fail
ing to suppress disorderly houses.
When the plans for the parade were orig
NcAvoy and Chief Inspector Cortright,
Grant had not been reinstated. There
were to have been two brigades in the
parade, with Borough Inspector Brooks 8
riding at the head Of the first and Borough
Inspector P. II. Mclaughlin leading the
head Of the uniformed force, bosses the
whole show. Other inspectors are in COM
mand of different regiments that make up
The brigades. Only the inspectors are
mounted
Inspector Baldwin was slated to lead
one OF the regiments in the brigade of
Inspector Brooks. Inspector Baldwin has
been drilling his men for two months. and
was very much disappointed to learn a
few days ago that he was not to appear in
the march, and that his place had been
given to Inspector Grant.
Commissioner McAdoo's attention was
called to the plan on Tuesday evening.
and Yesterday he summoned the reporters
To his office and said:
My attention has been called to the
fact that Inspector Baldwin had been left
on of the parade. He should be in it. and
he will. Inspector Baldwin is fine man.
Now. we are going to have three br-
gades instead of two, and Inspector Bald
WIN will be put in command OF the third
brigade. This will necessitate number of
Changes We will take some companies
away from Inspector Brooks in order to
hl ont the third brigade"
One of the regiments to be taken from
Baldwin is likely to be led by Donald Grant.
