TXT0Y WEN USE VIOLENCE.
The American Bridge Company Forced to
Use Armed Detectives.

YoNKERs, y. Y, April 2e.-There is trouble
between union and %non-union iron workers
lathe Glenwood power house of the Hudson
River Railroad, and two workmen have been
severely handled by men said to represent
the union element. The strike ofthe union
lists has existed for more than a year,
and the American Bridge Company, which
has the contract for work at Glenwood f,
has been employing %non-union labor to
finish the structure. Rumors nave peer
going around among the non-union men
for several weeks. To-day, during the
luncheon hour, two of the non-union work
ers were set upon, just south of the Glen
wood railroad station, and badly beaten by
a gang of eight or nine men.
This attack showed the bosses at the
work that trouble was brewing and an
appeal was made for police protection.
This was readily given and the company
also imported armed detectives from New
York city to take care Of the handful Of men
at present working on the roofing. Armed
guards are plentiful about the structure and
no one is allowed to set foot on the place
until he has satisfied the officers as to his
business. A gang of twelve non-union
men are working on the structure. No more
trouble is anticipated until the main body
.of strike breakers arrive ..t. -

AUTONOMOUS JEWISH COLONY.
American Branch OF the Ito Gets TO work
I'm New York.

The Jewish Territor ialist movement,
which aims at the establishment Of an
autonomous Jewish settlement under some
free government, has been definitely
launched in this country as a result OF a
meeting held recently at the home OF Cyrus
l.. Sulzberger, 5l5 West End avenue. This

bert Friedenwald, the Rev. Goodman Lip
kind and Bernard G.. Richards.
The organization, otherwise known as
the Ito, which under the leadership OF Israel
Zangwill and other Jews prominent in Eng
land, has been making marked progress in
Europe. is an outcome OF a division which
occurred in the ranks bf the Zionists at the
last Zionist congress, the Territorialists
being in favor Of a Jewish settlement under
any favorable and free conditions, as OPP
posed to. the Zionists, who would conflne
their hopes and efforts OF Jewish restoration
to Palestine.
The constitution Of the parent ~organiza-
ton in England was adopted for the guild
ance of the American societies. The terri
tory to be selected will be n in whic b
autonomy will be attainable, and in which
the majority OF the population shall be
Jewish.
At the meeting a temporary committee
of three was appointed, consisting Of Mayer
SuIzberger, Oscar Straus and Daniel Gug-
genheimer. Cyrus L. Sulzoerger was ap-
GOODMAN Lipkind, secretary. 4 committee
consisting of Messrs. Rosenthal, Lipkind
and Richards was appointed to take up
the work of organizing branches in this
city, and through members and sympa-
thiaers OF the movement living in different
cities the. society will endeavor to form
branches in all Jewish communities Of the
| country. DR.. Solis-Cohen will act as or
g~anizer in Philadelphia. and Mr.. Solomons

A headless body, hardly more than a
skeleton, was found yesterday by two
laborers who were cleaning out a long
unused vault under the sidewalk at the
Celtic, a saloon at Second avenue and
Th~irty-fourth street. The body appeared
to have been in the vault for a long time.

been found last night. The police went

the left arm We're separated from the body.

body was that of a boy. He esti-

remains I'd clothing u%nderwear, coarse
trousers. and dark blue or black sweater
with red striped collar. for all this evil

INSURANCE JOURNALISTS MUM.
Won't Tell What Was Accomplished ut the
Aston III use Conference.

The owners and editors Of the insurance
journals, who met at the Aston House
yesterday at the call Of Dollar a Line Charles
j. Smith, had no announcement to make
last night as to what had been accom-
plished at the conference. The meeting
was supposed to have been called forthe
purpose Of considering the general situa-
ton among the insurance journalists, '
which isn't very rosy nov because the
three big companies have practically cut
out all advertising in the insurance jour-
mails. The editors Of some Of the local
publications said yesterday that they
didn't propose to join in the conference.
There are more than seventy Of these in
surance papers in the country. The fer
tility Of the field which they worked is
evident from the fact that most other
businesses support not more than five
or six journals on the average. There
are t~wenty-three civil engineering and
mining journals, but they cover many
different professional and mercantile
activities.

TO COMMENCE WORK ON THE
GOLD BASIS CLAIMS.
From Wednesdays Daily.

T. J. Laird was in the city yesterday
making arrangements to commenc,
work on the properties Of the Gold
Basis Mining and Milling company
on Groom creek, upon which he recent.
ly secured an option to purchase.
The properties are situate abou,
seven miles south of Prescott, and are
considered by miners to be among the
most valuable in that section. The
group consists of four patented
claims, one of which has been develop.
ed to depth Of $50 feet, while the
others are opened up by several tun-
ncls of considerable length, and by
two shafts sunk TO depth of 40 and
80 feet respectively. These openings
expose large bodies of low grade ore,
which is free milling to a depth of
about $50 feet, where water is encount.
cred when the ores turn 10 sulphides.
The property, which is equipped with
five stamp mill, and Whitley concen.
trating tables, is situated in one of
the best watercd and timbered sections
of the Sierra Prieia mountains, and in
the Immediate vicinity Of many mines
which were heavy producers many
years ago.
Mr.. Laird stated that IL was his in.
tention to resume work there, and i'm
mediately open up the mines in sub.
stantial and mincrlikc way and that
he was certain that he could place the

COMING RAILROAD T0RTIrIES
HIS COURAGE.
From Thursdays Daily.

1--WE have held on to our group Of
claims in the Black Hills for the past
eleven years and we don't feel like let.
ting go now ut any small figure since
the prospects are so good for railroad
in our scction,' said l.. T. Larremore,
enc of the old time miners of the
Black Hills and Verde district, to 4
JournaiMiner man yesterday.
"We have one tunnel in a distance
of about $50 feet" he said, ga cross.
cut run about 100 feet and shaft
down to depth Of 80 feet, in all Of
which we have good showing of ore
from six to eight feet in width which
will average $50 or $40 to the ton,
principally copper, with small gold
and silver values"
Continuing further, he said that tho
people Of his section are very much
elated over the prospects for at least
one railroad TO he built into the Verde
valley this coming year. Besides open
ing up a market for the agricultural
products Of the valley the road will also
make it possible for many miners and
mine owners to open up and operate
number of properties that they have
been holding on to for several years
past, and which they were unable to
do on an extensive scale at profit on
account of the great expense of get
ting in supplies and freighting the ores
mined to the nearest railroad point.
This group Of claims. which is
known as the "Larcmore and Walk
or" group, is situate about two and
half miles distant from the town OF
Jerome, in a southeasterly direction
along the eastern slope of the Black
Hills, overlooking the picturesque
Verde valley.
The United Verde properties are
about three miles to the northwest,
while the Equator and Iron King
mines lie to the southwest about four
miles distant. There are many other
mining properties in the same sec
tion upon which development work II
being carried on, and in which large
bodies Of copper ore are being uncover
