Nine days ago Judge Dickey scored the
Common Council for not obeying his orders.
He gave them two weeks more, until next
Saturday. to have tho extension demolished
and he reserved until that time his decision
as to whether be would fine or imprison
the thirteen members OF the board for
contempt. Their lawyer argued that they
could get nc n TO accept the Job. All
OF the carpenters and contractors refused
to touch the building. but this was not
sufficient excuse for the Court. who said
some one could be got because there are
lots Of people looking for work.
Tha board again got busy and employed
Ambrose Wheeler, who erected the addi-
ton, to pull II down. Wheeler and his men
started Friday morning and in two hours
quit, because, as he alleged, he and his men
could not stand the abuse they were re-
cejving. Policeman were stationed at the
house to protect them. but nothing could
induce them to continue. Hhe Aldermen
again saw visions OF ines and prison bars
and builder after builder was sought to do
the job At,last ons. Felix Kramp, a specu-
lator, was engaged and had expected to get
at the work this morning. but the fire has
again interfered.
II Is said tina the Aldermen have deter
mined that the ohaFred shell Of the addition

sent OF the Insurance companies Kramp

there were two distinct explosions pre-
ceding the bursting out Of the flames and
the fremen allege that when they arrived
the odor Of kerosene was strong. Chief OF

. Sipplihed spelling had it's innings In
the Sixth Assembly district IN Williams
burg In the recent election. Thomas j.
Surpless ran for Assembly on the Repub-
lican ticket and William r.. Coon or the
Democratic ticket; at least that's what
local politicians say now, but before cleo
ton there seemed TO be some doubt about
whether Coon was Coon or whether h
was Kohn or Kahn. As q matter Of fact
Coon really used 20 be Kohnowski accord
ing to William X. MCGUIRE. his political
hacker.
Mr.. Coon, that's the way he spells 10 him
self, went to Louis Salzmsp, a printer at
a. Graham avenue, 20 AVE his campaign
literature printed. Salzman 10 a Hebrew
follower of Brander Matthews and believes
in simpliied spelling. Coon's campaign
literature soon made its appearance. There
are about $500 Jews IN the Sixth Assembly
district and SO two sets OF campaign liter
atsrs were printed, one in English and the
other In Yiddish. There is no @ In Yiddish
and so Salzran spelled Coon K-o-h-n in
the Hebrew literature and Coon in the
English set and that's what caused the
defeat OF Coon and gave the Republicans
a Surpless in the Sixth.
Maurice Kahn, the leader OF the Repub-
lican party in the district, saw good cam
paign material in Salzman's literary efforts
and the Republicans pointed out to the
Jev voters that Coon was ashamed OF
Kohn when he wantsd Gentle votes and
posed as Coon TO them and ss Kohn only
TO the Jews. Coon denied that there was
any ruse intended and was backed up by
Salzman, but Surpless was elected by a
plurality OF 900.
Coon now blames what he says are the
unfair methods OF Kahn. Mr.. Kahn made
the following statement concerning the
matter yesterday:
Now the reasons that Mr.. Coon did
not get the full Jewish vote, or that part
OF the vote he was entitled to, are many,
but one Of the main reasons Is thai the
Hebrew voters did not like the way Mr..
Coon tried to hide his judaism by spelling
his name on all the English campaign lit
erature Coon, and ON all the Hebrew
literature K-o-h-n. That OF course, was
a base deception and will not be and was
not tolerated by the intelligent American
Hebrew, and. hence, his poor showing"

IL would not be fair to blame all union
men for these pitiable conditions. Many
of them are decent, honest citizens who see
the evils OF the system and regret them.
But the machinery of the union has in every
case fallen into the hands OF the professional
a~gitators and grafters. The decent men
pay their dues, take the benefits OF the
union, stay away from the meetings and
let the agitators WELD the entire influence
Of the respective organizations, political
and industrial.
Under the leadership Of Harrison Grey
Otis, Los Angeles has fought the unions
until their influence Is confined to its legiti-
mate limits. President David Starr Jordan
Of Leland Stanford University says that
Los Angeles ought TO erect a monument TO
FIR. Otis. But in San Francisco union labor,

that the new city will be bigger and better
thar the old. But its coming IL being de-
layed and hampered in every possible way
