PROPERTY OWNERS COMPLAIN
OF RECENT ACTION
VoIuminous Petition Presented to the
Board of Public Works Attack
ing the Action Of Judge
Charles D. Silent

Property owners in the southeast

board of public works yesterday to
complain of the action of Judge
Charles D. Silent, who last Wednesday
fenced up Wabash avenue from Soto

private property.
The property owners presented q
to the board asking that body to at

on 1t on the representation that it was
a public street and that after these
many years Judge Silent had fenced
it up and demanded pay for 1t.
The street has never been legally
decided to the city. but 1t has been con-
sidered thoroughfare for so many
years that the city engineers depart
ment has gone so far as to give out
numbers on the street. The fact that
it has been used so long without in
terruption gives the city what the city
attorney calls an easement" in court
proceedings.
The boaIt. of public works will take
steps to order it condemned and the
property owners will pay the cost of
the condemnation proceedings.

OPERA B0UFFE STRIKE IN
OFFICE BUILDING
Hundreds Had to Walk Up and Gown
Stairs TIL Peace Was Restored
In the lifts" - Crew
Makes Threats

Two elevator boys worked the pad
lock trick on several hundred people
Wednesday afternoon, but strange as
it may seem, the affair was not re-
ported to the police and this is the
first time that publicity has been given
to the story.
1t was not the old old game of bet
ting ten spot" that you could open
the little paddock.
1t was a case of everybody walk to
the top of the Henne building The
elevator manipulators had struck for
higher wages and. pending the settle
ment of the strike, had taken time by
the forelock, so to speak, by securely
locking both elevators and carrying
the keys away.
ELI" Brix-an appropriate name by
the way-was the young man who or
dered the strike. At least ELI" is ac-
cused of being the walking delegate
who manipulated things at the Henne
building and ELF doesn't deny the
charge.
Strike During Rush Hour
During the rush hour Wednesday
afternoon Brix came to the conclusion
that the time was ripe to start some
thing"
Accordingly the word was passed to
Murray Chatter, another elevator boy;
Frank Tench, the head janitor, and
George Brote, the assistant janitor.
The elevators suddenly stopped

Central Girl Shocked

Things that were said over the wires
shocked the central girl who made the
connection.
Compliments were passed back and
forth by employers and employees, but
still the padlocks remained on duty and
the public still walked up several
flights of stairs at the Henne build
ing.
Finally, after several propositions
had been made by the employers and
declined by Brix and his colleagues,
Wright & Calender, the agents, came
to the terms of the strikers and the
padlocks were removed.
Gong up!"
What n pleasing sound! For several
hours the elevators moved with their
accustomed regularity, but yesterday
morning there was only one. elevator
where two had been wont to do duty.
Brix had been discharged
Just what the outcome of the whole
affair will be remains to be seen. An
other boy will be on duty this morning
and unless other complications arise
the present operators will remain at
their posts.
Had EN- Foul
I'VE had 'em foul, though" COM
mented one of the young men yester-
day afternoon. And" he added with
u twinkle in his eye, "if our plans had
worked right we would have put the
elevators out of business so that a
wheel wouldn't have turned in several
days. They needn't think that just
because we are working for $50 a month
and are only plain, everyday elevator
boys, that we haven't plan or two up
our sleeves"
AS far as Wright & Calender are
concerned the incident is closed. In
fact the managers do not wish to talk
about the strike or the outcome-at
least their representative said so.

"Wednesday night with long cash In
the back of his head by Constable
5Lee Conman and Policeman James

wounded man to the Kessler hospital
where medical attention was render
ed and the cash sewed up. The
wound. while quite painful, is not
serious.
Varcia told the officers that he was
walking along the street when some
one stepped out from behind a tele-
phone pole after he had just passed
it and slashed him with a knife. He
could not explain the assault clearly
because of his limited knowledge Of
the English language but from his
broken talk and gestures the officers
concluded that the man was at loss
to know why any one had assaulted
him. 1t may be that the man was
drunk and got into fight in which
he received the wound or 1T may be
that he was assaulted for the pur-
pose of revenge or robbery. The Of
ficers are Investigating the case.
