Passenger Had Been Carried
Past the Place Where He

NO ONE WAS HURT.
Car Was Going Toward Boynton
Beach About 11:15 O'Clock Last
Night-NIan Wanted to Get OF
Near the American Smelling and
Refining Company's Entrance
Carried Further Through Mistake.

A man who, had been carried a
short distance past his destination
whipped out a revolver last night
near Maurer and fired five shots, it
is asserted by the crew, in the direc-
tion of the trolley car. No one was
hurt.
Car No. 1903, in charge of Con-
ductor Henderson and Motorman
Johnson, was going to Boynton Beach
about 11:15 o'clock. A passenger,
who wanted to get off near the Amer
ican Smelling & Refining Works, was
carried a short distance beyond there
by mistake. When the fact was dis
covered, the car was stopped and he
left it. The car had no sooner re-
sumed its trip than five shots were
heard in quick succession and the
conductor ducked, but no injury re-
suited. Upon their return to this
city the crew reported the occur
renee. The conductor said he knew
the man by sight but not by name.
The trolley officials will push the
matter if the man can be apprehend-
ed. A complaint has been entered.

Another Meeting to be Held To-
morrow Night in Mckinley Hall
TO Take Further Action.
STAMP COS. ACTIVE.
Understood to be Enforcing the
Agreement With the Merchants to
Display Stamp Cards and Adver-
tise Them in the Windows and
Stores-Meeting Tomorrow Night
i'm Effort to Get Others to Join.

A mass meeting of all the mer-
chants in this city who have agreed
to give up trading stamps will be held
tomorrow night, in Mckinley hall, in
Elm street, for the purpose of get
ting down to real action in doing
away with the stamps hereafter.
The grocers, as told in the NEWS,
held meeting a short time ago, at
which they signed an agreement to
stand by one another and not to use
stamps under any conditions whatev-
er. The meeting is to be held so that
merchants in other lines can combine
with the grocers and in this way
make themselves more solid.
1t is known fact that the stamp
companies are fighting hard against
the giving up of stamps. They hold
agreements with some merchants,
whereby they have to advertise and
post notices that they give stamps.
Heretofore they have not bothered
these merchants much about these
things, but now they are making
them toe the mark, it is said.

by a crash and his bed was showered
with glass. The bombardment with

Meeting Of Building Trades
Council Was Held Last Night
TO Discuss the idea.
BOSSES MAKE HEADWAY
Employers Are Again at Work on the
Old POstOffice Building Today
Some of the Carpenters Are Ac-
cepting Work by the Day About
the City-Mass Meeting to Give All
Union Men a Chance to Speak.

Seeing that the boss carpenters
are just as determined as ever not to
give in, number of the local jour
neymen carpenters in this city who
are out on strike, started to work
this morning at days pay, doing odd
jobs about the town for citizens
who want carpenter work attended
to. The men, it is understood, will
now take all of these jobs that they
can get and they expect in this way
to be able to pick up much work.
This morning, bright and early,
the bosses again donned overalls and
jumpers and started in the second
day at work on the old postoffice
building. They rushed things along
at a great rate yesterday and when
they knocked off work last night a
great deal of work had been accom-
plished.
Trades Council Meeting.
The Building Trades Council held
special meeting in the union rooms,
1873 Smith street, last night, at which
1t is said that the strike situation
was fully discussed, and if the pres
ent plans are carried out a mass
meeting for the members of the diff
ferent trades will be held Thursday
night in Washington hall, in Fayette
street.
AT this meeting, it is said, the car
penters' trouble Will be put up to the
different representatives of each trade
as whole and this will give the del
egates a chance to see the feeling of
the rest of the trades toward the car
penters. So far the members of 9TH
er trades have not been able to say
anything, except through the repre-
sentatives from each trade to the
Building Trades Council.
Not Bidding on New Work.
Because of the strike, bosses will
not bid on any work and when they
have finished up what work they have
on hand they expect to take it easy
for some time to come, unless the
journeymen come to terms. Many
plans for new buildings have been
drawn, but the citizens who desire to
put them up cannot get a contractor
to go ahead with the work
At the meeting Thursday night it
is expected that committee from
each of the trades will be appointed
to see the tenants who have rented
different buildings on which the boss
es have or will do work. 1t is said
that this committee will ask the ten
ant not to take the building. This
matter will be threshed out at the
meeting and definite plan of action
settled on.
While the bosses were at work on
the old postoffice building yesterday
afternoon, a number of the journey
men carpenters stood on the street
corners ''jollying" them about work
ing, but the bosses did not seem to
mind this and in most cases they
paid no attention to the men.
While the boss carpenters were at
work today number of amateur pho
tographers among the journeymen
carpenters and citizens took snap
shots of them.

NO SUCH OFFENSE AS
DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
Judge BOOraem Says Commitments
With Such a Charge Are Worth
less Sets the Prisoners Free.

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 49,
Commitments to Jail for disorderly
conduct are not worth the paper up
on which they are printed, according
to ruling by Judge Booraem yester-
day, and the same ruling has been
made by several other common pleas
judges of New Jersey.
The case in point was that of the
second ward gang, five members of
which were recently committed to
jail for terms of sixty and ninety
days by Recorder Watson.
They secured H. B. Cook to take
up their case, and he appealed it to
Judge Booraem's court The men
sentenced were Christopher Cook,
Silas Gosner, Frank Robinson. Bern
ard Cone and James Clark The re-
because they had not been in jail be-
fore, and he wanted to give them an
other chance, but Cook, Cone and
Clark were in for ninety days apiece
Judge Booraem said that the COM
mitments in these cases were clearly
defective. They stated that the men
had been found guilty of disorderly
conduct, and that there is no such
offense on the New Jersey statutes.
The commitments should have
specified Just what offense the men
had committed. He therefore set
aside the conviction and the three
second warders were ordered releas-
ed.
The commitment by which the
men were sent to jail was blank
form used all over the state. Re-
corder Watson and every other re-
corder in the state who knows any,
thing at all know, of course, that the
commitments are no good, but they
are the only ones furnished, and the
recorders have to take chances with
them. If prisoner doesn't know
that there is way for him to escape
his just deserts it is all right, but If
he is able to employ counsel he can
get off on one of these commitments
every time.
