Forbes Needs More Room For
His Factory Plant In
Hopper Field.
THE NEW ENTERPRISES
Three Department Factories
Situated on Both Rail
road Lines.

The City Council held a brief
called session Friday afternoon and
granted permission to w. L. Hopper
and M. c. Forbes to close a proposed
extension of E. Nineteenth street
through Hopper field. This street
was provided for in the plat of the
field in recent transfers, but the city
had never accepted the street extern
sion, which would have required an
overhead bridge over the L. & NJ,
and the condemnation of valuable
land to be carried to Walnut street.
The council granted the change of
plans, with the understanding that a
new avenue to be known as Hopper
avenue will be opened north and
south from Eighteenth to Twentyfrst
streets, along the western side of
the Forbes plant. Mr.. Forbes is
preparing to erect a wagon factory,
spoke factory and dressed lumber
mill at an aggregate cost Of $3.50, 600.
1t will be the biggest of the enter
prises to be undertaken this year in
the city. The l. C. belt line will
run through the middle of the fac
tory site and it will be directly on
the main line of the L. & N. on the
east. The L. & N. will. of course,
provide all necessary switches to
handle business from its line.

The funeral services were held at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday morning at
the residence of DR.. K. r. Cook, her
grandfather. Rev. c. H. Nash, pas

ment took place.

Socialism Scores It's First Triumph in
England-New Labor Party Forces
First Concession.

OF the fifty labor representatives to
the British parliament in the election,
just closed, thirty-one are avowed So
cialists, nine are socialistic, and
the remainder are soeialistic in sym
pathy. The leadership of this party
has been assigned to Keir Hardie, an
old.time war horse in the English so
cialist movement. Prior to the late
elections Keir Hardie was the only
Socialist member of parliament. The
sudden rise of socialism in England to
a representation Of thirty-one has at
tracted worldwide attention and inter
est. The following press dispatch tells
of its first victory which marks the
entrance of the English working class
into the international labor movement: !:

cation, and John Burns, president of
the local government, said the minis
