William Porten Company Is Out of the
Reckoning Now. :.
From now on the work on the new
national guard sarmory will be prose-
cuted under the direction Of the armory
board, consisting Of Mayor David P.
Jones, City Treasurer G. s. Hubert and
Lieut.. Col: Frank T. Corriston. The
William Porten company, which held
the contract for the construction, has
not made move for more than u
fortnight except to move some of it's
material and machinery, and is con-
sidered by the members Of the armory
board to be out Of the reckoning. The
proposition made by the surety COM
pany on the contractors bond is not
considered practicable at this time, and
has been rejected by the board.
No important steps will be taken for
the time being. The board is bend
ing every effort to have the building
enclosed as soon as possible and when
this has been done the board will take
a breathing spell. ...'2.s..' +. III
The most serious defect in the con-
crete work has already been remedied.
It was found that all the footings OF
foundations under the columns were
defective and every footing has been
replaced, the work having been en-
trusted by the board to John Wunder
There has been some apprehension on
the part of the members Of the national
guard regarding the new armory, but
those who are in a position to speak
with authority declare emphatically
that before the building is accepted
and opened for use it will be the
safest building in the city.

This class has been conducted as a
part of the work Of the Men4s club of

HARMONY REIGNS In
BRICKI.AxERS' RANKS
Stone Masons Show Apparent Desire to
Heal Old Breach.

Harmony reigns at the sessions Of the
brlcklayers' and masons' convention at
N0rmanna hall. This is the statement
made last night by International Secre-
tary William Dobson.
The report Of Secretary Dobson, pre-
sented yesterday afternoon, showed that
the union had made good progress in
and consultations the number OF local
unions has increased from 1858 to 906.
Honolulu, Port of Spain, in Trinidad
and several Porto Rican cities have
petltloned for charters, which may be
granted at this convention. There were
only two strikes Of sufficient magnitude
to come to the notice Of the national
officers.
James Fox. No. 81, New York. chair
confer with the stone masons, who are
in session in st. Paul, reported progress.
The stone masons have agreed to hold
their meeting into next week in order
to consider the proposition that they
return to the ranks of the B. M. I. IT,,
and Will send committee to Mime
apolis to complete the negotiations.
There is fair chance that the confer
ence may result in a merger.
The greater part Of the day was spent
in committee meetings but the officers
of the convention are confident that
with Mondays session the sitting of the
convention as a whole may be resumed.
Just what will come before the body
cannot be known until the committees
report. The eight-hour day will not
be made an issue this year. While $50
unions already have secured the shorter
hours the national organization does not
| feel that the time is ripe to incorporate
an eight-hour plank in its platform.
Tonight the delegates will attend the
| BerWin memorial services at the Audi
forum in a body. The convention has
already adopted resolutions of sym
pathy for the sufferers from the West
hotel fire.
| The International Association of
Stone MasOns, which seeded from the
B. M. I. U. fifteen years ago, elected
officers yesterday to serve until the
next biennial convention is held in
St. Louis in 1907. Malcolm Geddes of
st. Paul was elected president without
opposition. The other officers chosen
were: Jacob Vogel of Indianapolis,
first vicepresident; A. j. Anderson of
Kansas City, second vicepresident; "A.
R. Richmond of Atlanta, third vice
president; John J. Bryne Of st. Louis
