WANTED BINGHAM TO BREAK COP
Man Talked an Hour Over the Telephone
without Renewing His Thirst.

A thick. mushy voice called UP Police

and asked for Commissioner Bingham.
After a FIVE minute talk the telephone
operator convinced the inquirer that the
Commissioner wasn't in.
When the same voice called up a few
minutes later and insisted upon talking
With the Commissioner the man was asked
what he wanted.

The operator assured him that the Com
missioner would gladly take up the matter
during office hours and hung up the re-
r~ceiver. In a short time the same voice
kcame pack on the wire s.ain. Fearing
that the nuisance might last all night. the
operator called up the telephone central
office, and found that the busy talker was

Calls ALL UNIONS BAD.
Letter DenOunclng Them Read at Central
Federated Union Meeting.


Federated union Meeting.
The labor unions and their methods were
censured in a letter read at yesterdays
meeting Of the Central Federated Union
from f. F. Milliken of Milliken Bros. MEM
bers of the Iron League, to Assemblyman
Thomas Rock, the author OF the eight hour
bill which has passed the State Senate and
is now before the Assembly. The lett r
was part of the report of a committee which
went to Albany in the interest of the bill and
was given to the committee by Assembly,
man Rock, who before he was elected to the
Assembly was delegate Of the PAYERS and
Hammers Union to the c. F. L.
In his letter Mr.. MiIliken says that the
eight hour bill would be an oppressive
and inequitable measure, Every piece of
legislation of this kind. he explained, would
increase the cost of production, and finally
the working people themselves would be
among those who would have to paw in
advanced rents and enhanced prices for
manufa ctured a articles. The preva iling rate
of wa ges he also objected to. 1t meant
a dwelling down, not a levelling up, of all
workers.
The labor unions, he said, were a curse
to the employers and the employees alike
The result Of their operations could be seen
in England, where many industries had been
| destroyed through strikes. He described
England as the most trade Union ridden
country in the world. He continued:
We speak f~eelingly on this matter as we
| have had more than our fair share in com
hating the va carries and the crimes of labor
leaders the late sam Parks being the dele
gate in our industry with whom for some
wears we we're obliged TO deal. We are ha wing
a strike in our industry and have had since
the first OF the wear, and for tho character OF
Parks's successors in leadership we refer
you TO the daily press.
He compared the earnings of houseemiths
with those of professional men to the dis
advantage Of the latter. The average
annual income Of practising physicians
! working sometimes night and day, was less
than 5000 a year, whereas the income of
mechanics working eight hours a day was
from 81, 200 to 81 500 a year. After giving
a number Of arguments against the pro-
posed eight hour bill he concluded:
We are opposed root and branch TO any
thing and everything favorable TO the unions
as they are and have been conducted. be-
cause they are Illogical and impracticable and
very largely hurtful in their aim and essence.
and vicious and often Criminal in their praCti-
cal working ont.
Michael Fitzgerald Of the Letter Carriers
Union, chairman Of the committee which
went to Albany in the interest of the bill,
denounced the letter and the writer. He
said he had turned it in because it had been
handed to him by Assemblyman Rock.
II was decided to file the letter and a
vote of thanks was passed to Senator Page,
who, the committee said, had promised to
support the bill. and to all Senators and
Assemblymen who had been friendly to the
labor unions.

CABINET TERN TOO SHORT.
Bonaparte You Have Secretary OF the
Navy in once seven Years-A Hard Job.

Navy in mic seven Years-A Hard job.
BALTIMORE, March 25,-In an address
before the Johns Hopkins University Gu
last night, Charles J. Bonaparte, Secretary
of the Navy, described how the Depart
meht is run. He declared that he had
not the slightest idea Of the intricacies Of
the work until he got into it.
The present bureau system, he said, was
instituted at a time when the navy was
not an important factor, and, consequently,
the Government, in order to keep its naval
officers in service, had to distribute the
work OF the Department in such a way as to
keep the officers occupied.
Nowadays, however, he said, "the
situation is entirely changed. We have a
navy which is growing to be a very import
ant factor and a navy which is in need Of
officers and, indeed, must employ many
devices to get the necessary number Of
them.
Under the present system it is very
easy for the Secretary to become an orna-
ment, and it is necessary that the incum-
bent should as much as possible be a man
of a certain amount Of positiveness.
Unfortunately the length OF his term,
being but four years, subjects his office to
rather too frequent changes, and while he
may possess all the desirable qualities, the
fact that it takes him at least one year OF
his term to become acquainted with his
duties and associates, any thorough changes
in the methods of the department are very
difficult. When a man possessing all the
necessary qualities is found TO take the
office, trust hat his term will be length
ened TO, say, seven years
The Secretary got in a rap on the Wash
ington correspondents, who. he said, "em-
ploy their wit and imagination 10 such an
extent that / can assure you that what
does appear in the papers has not really
come TO pass

CHANCE TO MAKE Se5, 600
And Learn How Money and " els Can Get
Out OF q Safe Deposit BoN

UuI OF = bbIe DtpOSit DUN.
Mrs. william Austen Stephens, who is
at the Hotel Netherland, caused the fol-
lowing advertisement to appear in a news
paper yesterday;
$4,000 REWARD
for Information leading 10 the recovery OF articles
missing from box in National Safe Deposit Com
pany. No. 81 Liberty street. Loss occurred be
tween May, 1904, and February. 1905.
The lost property is said to consist Of
twenty-five 81. 900 bills aud jewelry valued
at about $4,000. They disappeared, she
says. during her absence in California,
where she went in May, 1904, to look after
some mining property left to her by her
husband. She had two boxes at the Ma
tional Safe Deposit Company, and in one
Of the boxes she put the money, the jewelry,
some railroad stock and other valuable
papers. Thu records of the safe company
show that she and her former counsel,
Thomas C. Ennever, had a joint tenancy
Of the box in which she says the money
and other valuables were deposited. Mrs.
Stephens says there is A mistake IN this,
that she was the sole tenant and the only
one having authority to open the box;
In February she wanted $40 900 and sent
on from California to Mr.. Ennever instruct
ing him to negotiate a certificate OF deposit
in the United States Trust Company which
was in the box. The key of this box was in
a storage warehouse. 40 she sent him a
telegraphic power Of attorney to force the
box and get the certificate. In the presence
of an officer Of the company the lock or this
box was forced and he took some railroad
shares. instead Of the certificate, and sold
them. Before he could forward the money
to her he got a telegram from her instruct
ing him not to sell the stock. He repur-
chased il.
Secretary j. Lynch Pendergast OF the
company said last night: We mold Mrs.
Stephens's written agreement that MIR.
Ennever was a joint owner OF the box.
When he came here with her telegram au-
thorizing him TO open the box in her alb
sence that absolved us from responsibility.
We took the usual precauton OF having
one Of our own men present. 1t Ia said
that the woman is inclined TO attribute the
loss of the property to the company. There
was no negligence on our part and she
cannot hold us responsible.
1t was said that Mrs. Stephens does not
think that Lawyer Eunever was responsible
for the loss, il there is a loss.
Mr.. Ennever said last night that he be-
lieves that the stuff alleged to be missing
will turn up all right. He says he saw the
interior of the safe deposit box after Mrs,
Stephens rented ii. but he did not zee either
the money or the valuables.
