OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN.
Armament of Old Craft Was Made to
Last.

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning a
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold at the local yard some time ago.
The cannon were all of the smooth
bore kind, and in order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder, but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full of holes in order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also unsuccess-
full. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament Of
the war craft which sailed the seas
In 1912.

New Works. RapId Growth,

The rapid growth of the nations
great metropolis is source Of nation
al interest and pride. Statisticians
figure that the population of the city
will exceed that of London by the
year 1915, and will double in rs years.
The present generation will undoubt-
edly see in New York the worlds
greatest metropolis. Few persons
realize that the population of New
York city is already one in 20 of the
population of the entire United States,
or that the growth Of New York city
in the century past has been five
times more rapid than the growth of
the whole country.-Moody's Maya

Henry George, a boy not yet of

in Justice Hinkle's court today. All
morning was taken up hearing wit
nesses who testified that the phil
anthropist owed the boy $3.50 for
wages. The boy cried as he told
about how when he attempted set
tlement with the captain he was
given whipping and then taken
to the police station and locked up
on a charge of disorderly conduct.
For this Imprisonment the boy asks
damages for $50. Captain McClel-
lands defense was in effect that his
porter, who laid off, hired George
and therefore should have paid him.
For the Imprisonment the captain
said the boy was disorderly and
swore and was altogether disre-
spectful. He denied whipping the
boy.
Adjournment was taken at noon

CENTRAL LABOR
UNION

The withdrawal of the Pressmen's
union from the Central Labor union
was announced last night. The
union withdrew as protest against
the central body refusing a seat to
Rev. w. J. Hindley as a fraternal
delegate. The withdrawal is made
to place the matter squarely before
the American Federation of Labor.
The communication stated that
President Gompers should insist on
the clergy being seated in central
bodies in view of the fact that he
had extended an invitation to them
to investigate labor from labor's
standpoint and had recommended
that seats be given the ministry in
labor organizations.
A delegate from the Bartenders'
union stated that this organization
would not aid the printing trades in
any way in the future and that the
bartenders' stock Of union pastors,
provided by the allied printing
trades to be placed on printed mat
ter, had been thrown in the waste
basket. The action of the bartend-
ers was taken because the printers
and pressmen insisted on the seat
ing of Rev. Hindley in the Central
Labor union.
Delegates from the newly organ
lied Laundry Workers union were
seated amid cheers, the fact that an
organization has been effected in
the teeth of the laundry trust being
recognized as great victory for la
Dor. f. A. Cooney was rendered a
vote of thanks by the central body,
and formal denial was made that
Mayor Daggett or the city hall ma
chine had anything to do with the
matter. the organizer having acted
under instruction given him several
months ago by the central body.
Resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing the statements of Mr..
Doust wherein he declares that the
new union has been organized for
political purposes as false.

DEMANDS
NEW BRIDGE

In a busy session last night at
the Jefferson ST. M. E. church the
North Side Improvement club de-
clared itself in favor of a new Mon
roe St bridge. to be built with all
possible dispatch Resolutions con-
veying the clubs sentiments were
adopted for presentation to the city
council The club accepts the con-
demnation of the present bridge
and points out the fact that this
crossing is the principal artery be-
tween the sections of the city,
needing prompt attention. NO
choice of style or material for the
new bridge is expressed.
The club also took up the matter
of paving Monroe st. to the top OF
the hill. Investigation already made
showed that property owners as far
as Augusta av., with but l excep-
ton. favor paving. A committee was
appointed last night to circulate Pc
titons and get the project in shape
for consideration by the council.
Estimates on the cost show that it

NEW YORK, April 9.-Delmas
continued his plea for Thaw this
forenoon and had not completed his
argument when court adjourned for
luncheon. He began again at 2
o o'clock, expecting to finish shortly.
Jerome will open his reply in the
morning Thaw was bright and
cheerful this morning.
Delmas resumed his argument
with scorching arraignment of
Hummel one of Jerome's chief wit
nesses. He referred to Hummels
previous conviction for perjury and
said; May | never live to see a
high officer Of the people stand
upon the testimony of a convicted
felon and ask II men to return
verdict that will make this young
woman a widow"
From this the attorney went into
the main theme Of the defense, the
effect of the girls story Of her
wrongs on the mind of Thaw. He
went over the whole history of 1t
in eloquent language, sparing moth
ing. He depicted Thaw's love for
the girl, his efforts to win her, and
at last the discovery of her past
life which she unfolded to him as
the one barrier between them
From that he pictured Thaw's strug
giles to overcome even this, what
he had sacrificed in social recogni-
ton and the scorn Of his family in
obedience to his love. The girls
