pose Of Masters.

Some Of the building trades mechanics
who are on strike or locked out by the en-
ployers. assembled at headquarters today

Union, who is at headquarters in Indian
apolis.

land expect to receive a telegram this
evening" Should the international president
sustain the action of the local bricklayers
in going out on sympathetic strike with the
locked-out building trades and against the
open shop, we will win the fight. Should
he decide against the strike and order US
to return to work. then the outcome of the
contest will be doubtful"
1t was stated by others to be the belief
Of the local bricklayers that the decision
will be favorable to the action OF the
union in ordering a strike.
Master bricklayers stated today that the
sympathetic strike of the local union Is
CLEARLY violation Of the contract be-
tween the union and the masters" and the
intimation was strong that non-union
brickIayers will be imported into this city
unless the union recedes from Its present
position

MY mother is In an upper room, unable
to be downstairs today. but she can hear

authorize me to express her appreciation

II have often wondered why 1t is that
| ladies have not been admitted to member
ship In the Oldest Inhabitants Association

fact that ladies do not ever become old
enough to be received in the association:
Il am confident 1 express the sentiments
of my father when 1 say that he could not
have accomplished one-tenth the things he
has IL 1t had not been for the loyalty and
love Of his wife, who has stood by him

By Chinese Colony.


The members of Washington's Chinese
colony are said to be preparing to celebrate
the Mclean mans Fourth of July tonight
with the usual lavish expenditure of real
Chinese frecrackers. On each recurring
July the oriental denizens of the local
Chinatown assemble at the establishments
Of their countrymen on the "Bowery," on
Pennsylvania avenue between Sd and ~,
streets, and explode all their surplus stock
or nrecrackerS. Laundryn1en from all see
lions of the city congregate in that vicinity
and indulge in the Chinese iastlme of
shooting off the crackers by the whole
sale. AS result the atmosphere there
abouts is filled with smoke and the noise
OF the exploding fireworks.
II is not SO much due to their patriotism
that they shoot off the thousands of crack
ers the night of the Fourth" veteran
policeman said. las it is to the fact that
the law permits them to give unbrided
liberty to go ahead with matchmaking
demonstration. The average Chinaman
would rather shoot off firecrackers than
eat chop suey with sharks fin and bird
nest trimmings"
In Fields and Woods.
A large number of persons journeyed
over the roads to Camp Good VIII today
and enjoyed the Fourth in the fields and
woods in that vicinity. Picnic features
were provided by the Ladies' Auxiliary.
many members OF patriotic societies en-
trained for Bally McElroy this morning and
were the guests of Col. John McElroy. This
outing was in the nature OF an old-fash-
Toned basket picnic and the host supplied
lemonade and coffee in abundance There
was an interesting program including pa
trtotic speeches and music
There were several interesting incidents
of the day. Considerable CONSERVATION
was caused in a Pennsylvania avenue store
when young man rushed In and placed a
giant firecracker in the middle of the floor
The cracker or "roarer." as 1t was
termed. was about ten inches in height
and appeared as formidable as a young
cannon.
The store was crowded with patrons al
the time. and they scampered in every d.
rection as the youth touched a match Ia
the fuse of the big firecracker. 1t sputtered
for a moment while the proprietor OF the
establishment peeped from behind a rear
door expecting to see his place at least par
TALLY wrecked by the explosion. After a
lapse of a few minutes. the giant cracker
having failed to go off. the proprietor crep,
toward 1t from his place of safety. He
found the fuse had burned out, and picking
up the formidable looking thing he read
this printed inscription on it:
This is a dummy frecracker. 1t con-
tains nothing but air. and therefore cannot
explode. But you can have lots of fun with
1t soaring people,

his boy about using Q rusty old cap pistol

the police alleging that he had discharged
a pistol on H street. Policeman Broderick
arrested him.
Charles Jameston. John P. Coughlan.
William Simons and James Thornton were
accused of having discharged fireworks
on the street last night. Each defendant
had deposited S. collateral, and each of
them was willing to give the money to the
District rather than appear In court and
stand trial.
Percy Epps and Roger Williams. colored
boys, were taken to the Homeopathic Hos
pital this morning and. treated for burns.
Epps was painfully burned over his right
eye and Williams was suffering from sew
eral slight burns he had received. Two
other frecracker victims were treated at
the Homeopathic Hospital this morning,
but their names were not recorded.
Struck on Head.
A game Of base ball and the setting of
of fireworks caused considerable trouble
about noon today on a lot near North
Capitol street and New York avenue 1t
appears that the noise made by the boys
annoyed David A. Keppel. twenty -one years
of age, whose father has a stable near the
lot. and he went out to demonstrate with
them. He was met with jeers, and, it Is
charged, lost his temper and started after
the boys with a hammer. Most of the lads
hurriedly left the lot, but Joseph Byrnes.
dentally fell and was unable to get be-
yond the reach of Keppel. The latter. 1t
Is charged. dealt the Byrnes boy a blow
on his head with the hammer. The lat
