were Brothers George Bagot and

good speeches. One good brother,
while making a speech, mentioned
Nebraska as one of the old countries,
which caused big laugh. He only
made slip of the tongue for he

Sue received many compliments. All

 Streets of Chattanooga.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. D.-(Special) The first important matter ever decided by popular vote in Chattanooga public schools will be settled tomorrow and Wednesday.

Each child attending the grammar schools is being given blank ballot to be filled out by his parent or guardian. These are to be returned Wednesday and turned over to the secretary of the board of ed ucatlon. The advocates of the shorter hour system are working hard and claim they will win.

New York, November 20.-All the sprint ing records of Arthur Duffy were declared void by the Amateur Athletic Union to- day.
 President Joseph McCabe, in presenting his annual report. says:
 "The man who deliberately accepts ex- cess money is a professional of the worst type, and the seal of amateur condem- nation should be placed upon him for ever. In the ease of Duffy it is reeom- mended that all mention of him be ex- punged from the records Of the A. A. U., commencing from the day when he admits having received excessive expense money. It is also recommended that further leg islation be enacted to the end that the paying of expense money may be regu- lated in d more systematic manner, and if possible that limit to such payments by clubs be established.
 Another evil which demands immediate recognition is the training of so-called training rendezvous Criticism has also been made of certain organizations be- cause of the holding of professional and amateur games at the same meet. The
  tice is submitted with the urgent request for action which will eliminate the evils, if there be, incident to such conditions. The new board of governors elected in- .clude the following: Central association, John MeClochlin, Everett Brown and Dr. G. K. Herman of Chicago.

STEAM PETERS :
 WIN CONTENTION
AFTER A WoRDY BATTLE IT IS PRACTICALLY DECIDED THAT THE ORGANIZATION WILL BE JNa DEPENDENT OF PLUMBERS.

Pittsburg. November 20-After a wordy battle lasting five hours on the floor of the convention of the American Fedora tion of Labor today, the International Association of Steamfltters composed oe members of that trade exclusively, was practically voted charter by the feder- ation, independent of the plumbers un- ion, which for the past three years has fought bitterly every effort to this end. The vote was nearly two to one in favor of granting the charter. and while it merely approved the recommendation of the committee on resolutions that the ex- ecutive council issue charter to this organization, it is believed the council will not go against the opinion of the conven- ton as a whole.
 The difficulties arose some years ago between the steamftters trade and tha plumbers trade. The former were in the majority but they had to work under the plumbers union The steamfltters finally withdrew and formed a national body. and. appealed to the federation for a charter, The annual conventions at San Francisco and Chicago both refused to grant the charter.
 Another jurisdiction fight was settled today when the car painters were or- dered to join the painters, paperhangera and decorators.
