OGDEN RIVER NOW
RAGING TORRENT
Recent Rains Cause Apprehen-
sion on the Part of Prop
erty Owners.
NO ACTION TAKEN
TO REMOVE BRIDGE
Walls VIII Be Constructed to
Protect Sanitarium Build
ings in Future.
Special TO The Tribune.

OGDEN, March 19.-The recent
rains are raising Ogden river to a
height equivalent to that of February
25, when the steel bridge at the mouth
of Ogden canyon was washed out and
the channel OF the river changed so
that it did almost irreparable damage
to the proposed park and the buildings
of the SanitarIum company. Today the
water was so high that it cut out ad
ditlonal ground that was part Of the
intended park, and for twelve hours
large quantities of the cmbankment
forty feet high was washed into the
river,
No action has been taken TO remove
the bridge which was washed down at
the time of the previous food, and the
Ogden city officials seem Indifferent
about making the removal and putting
in the new concrete bridge which has
been authorized
The Sanitarium people have a large
force of men at work, Alex Toponce
having the contract for opening the
channel of the river that was
abandoned Where the river now
flows il is the purpose of the manage
ment to establish lake The rocks in
the channel that has been abandoned
will he built into walls to protect the
Sanitarium buildings. The channel
will be reopened and a dam will be
thrown across the river to divert the
water into the channel that it left.
II is a stupendous undertaking, and
will take so much time that the open.
ing of the completed resort will be
delayed till much later in the season
than the management intended.

OGDEN, March 1o.-Professor +. NJ
briggs. superintendent OF the State

the high grade of the Ogden schools and
is decidedly coplinlentary to Mr. briggs.
The letter is from T. s. McAloney super
intendent OF the, Western Pennsylvania
Institution for the Blind at Pittsburg
Professor McAloney has been for more
than twenty years teacher of the blind

He writes that he is pleased with the
Eagle. the official organ OF the institu-

PLUMBERS STRIKE
IS At STAhDST|[[
Some Things in Regard to the
Situation Are Now Coming
to Light.
OEERTURES WERE MADE
BY THE EMPLOYERS
Master Plumbers Preparing to
Handle Their Work With
NOn-UniOn Men.

Yesterday witnessed no new develop
ments in the plumbers strike. as those
who took part in the movement made
no further effort to agree on the ques-
ton of wages According to the pres
ent outlook, moreover, it appears that
no change in the situation may be eX-
pected for some time, for the master
plumbers assert that the demand for a
scale of s6 day is unreasonable, and
they are determined not to yield, while
the journeyman plumbers are equally
unyielding in the stand which they
have taken.
Some of the things that were instru"
mental in bringing about the walk-out
are coming TO light and these serve
to show how the matter may be dealt
with in the future. 1t is said that the
Master Plumbers association tried to
bring about a compromise after the
journeymen plumbers had submitted
their request for higher wages, Ac-
cording to this information the employ
srs sent three communications to the
plumbers union, all for the purpose
Of bringing about negotiations tending
toward amica BILE settlement of the diff
eiculty, and in one of the missives the
master plumbers consented to pay SIS
q day. It appears, however, that all
of the communications were pigeon
holed, for the employers say that they
have not been answered,
Doubtless this summary way of deal
ing with their proposals had much TO
do with causing the master plumbers TO
of the union, They assert that in
some cases where the workman shows
extraordinary ability they are willing
TO pay the So a day. but that 1T has
been their experience that when ability
is considered the former scale of $3.50
q day is in some instances more than
the plumber deserved,
The master plumbers are therefore
preparing to handle their work with
non-union men and most of them seem
confident that they will succeed IN
securing all the help they can use,
and expert plumbers at that, for less
than $5 day. Some of them, it
seems. anticipated the action of the
union and prepared for the emergency
by getting in touch with Eastern work
men. Some of the men who will take
the places Of those who united in the
strike are said TO be on their way to
this city, while a few arrived yester-
day and are now at work.
AS was previously announced only
about sAx union shops are affected by
the walk-out. three or four are en-
ploying union plumbers at a salary of
So day. while perhaps sever or eight
shops are nonunion and have not been
affected by the strike The local
plumbers union is said to have a mem.
bership OF about si1tv-five and about
forty or these are taking part in the
strike

JUDGES IRE AROUSED

Charged With Graver Ofense

Frank Turner, Sam Marcowski, Ben
Francisco and Jim Bombino, the four
men who were arrested in the saloon Of
Bombino on Commercial street several
nights ago on the charge of fighting,
appeared before Judge Diehl yesterday
for sentence, His honor announced that
in the case of Turner and Marcowski
there was not sufficient evidence TO
convict, and he would, therefore, order
the defendants discharged In the case
Of Bombino and his bartender, Fran
cisco, fine of $40 each was imposed.
In passing sentence on the last two the

should have been charged with more
serious offense than that of fighting
On their own testimony the two men
beat Turner up in fearful manner
with billiard cues. 1t was necessary to
take no fewer than dozen stitches
in Turner S head to close UP the cuts
inflicted oy Bombino and Francisco,
