progressing satisfactorily, and within
short time the committee Of Shriners in
charge of the affair will be able to make

There is a feeling however. on the
part of both the union carpenters ami
the master builders that ,lere viii not

demand an increase Of WAGES and the
masters say they win not grant a., only
a strike may follow The disagreement.
The building trade has been unset
tied for a year yet notwithstanding
this condition. building operations have
been unprecedented. The carpenters
started the year on n wage scale OF
40 cents an hour for m oight-hour day
Previous TO January 1 they notified tho
masters that on May ]. 50 cents an hour
would be demanded, and Il IS this de-
mand which the masters last night re-

Of 5 cents an hour over the present

TAMPERED WITH

Whispered That Prisoners

" our oMn ~. Publlshers. -.

BY Our own Wire. Publishers Press.
NEW YORK. April l9.-Three members
Of the jury which tried Harry Thaw were
to-day summoned before Assistant Dis
tmct-Attorney Smythe for examination
regarding "a statement made by Juror John
S. Dennee In an interview in a local news
paper in which he spoke Of an appeal be-
ing made to jurors who were Mystic
Shriners on the ground that Thaws father
was "A Shriner.
The three Jurors summoned are Denoe.
George Pfam and Charles ID. Newton, all
Shriners. Denee said Pfam had told him
that three weeks before the lunacy COM
mission was appointed to examine Tnaw
policeman on guard at the court house
had approached Juror Newton and whis-
pered that Thaw's father was a Shriner.
Pfam inquired of Denee what he thought
ought TO be done. Denee declared he
thought it ought to be stopped. Pfan later
repeated the story Of the policeman and
the two jurors discussed the advsability
Of telling Jerome, but never did so. Denee
added
Only One Shriner for Aoquittal
Il do not think anyone tampered with
the jury If the policeman did this it was
probably on his own hook"
In this connection il is pointed out that
Denoe was the only Shriner on the jury
who voted for Thaw's acquittal Pfan was
the strongest advocate Of conviction and
Newton also steadily voted for a verdict
Of first degree murder.
A complete Investigation of the story
related by Denee win be made and it is
possible other jurors may also be called
in to see if they can tell anything about
alleged "tampering with the jury"
Harry Thaw is to-day practically de-
serted by all his relatives except his wife.

there has been heavy loss Of life.
Twenty Thousand Homeless
Fully 10000 persons have been rem
dered homeless by the fire. and all
business has been brought TO a stand
still. 1t will probably be days before
a complete estimate of the damage
wrought can be made.
Owing to the desperation of the sur
vivors, the authorities have lost con-
troll of the situation completely. and il
is reported no efforts have been made
to keep order or restore confidence.
Gale Famed the Flames
The fire started early to-day. and
the heavy gale quickly famed it to
large/ proportions. The flames swept
across the town, eating everything i'm
their way. All efforts to fight the fire
proved unavailing. The best that could
be done was to see that everyone was
driven from the threatened districts.
