With the attitude of the interested par

Yesterday. his opinion as to the untenability
or the position taken by Nolan & Sons, who
have the subcontract under him for plumb.

Statement by Mr.. Parsons.
at would be entirely inconsistent to in
terpret the award of the arbitration board,
which recently announced it's finding On the
questions at issue in the plumbers lock-
out, as permitting local master plumbers
to declare the open shop principle in force,
and put union and non-union men to work
together Mr.. Parsons said.
The leading spirits in the master
plumbers association. including the major
ity of the men who were most active In
supporting the lockout. have accepted the
spirit of paragraph of the award to mean
the abolition of the open shop, and 1 be-
lieve that ground Is the only reasonable
one to take Mr.. Parsons closed with a
statement of his ultimatum, and the added
declaration that he will stand the conse-
quences whatever they may be. and de-
fend himself In any legal proceedings which
may ensue."
James Nolan & Sons void make no fur
Their statement than they expect to stand

Say They Are Satisfied.
Members of all other building trades en-
ployed on the municipal building expressed
themselves as satisfied with the action
taken by Mr.. Parsons. and all Of them, ex-
cept the four non-unon plumbers dismissed
yesterday by the contractor, returned to

CURED yesterday over the claim made by
the structural steel workers that the work
being done by non-unfon men in installing
the new vault at the new National Metro

CHINESE SNIUGGLERS.
Flaw Has Been Discovered In The
 Canadian Law.

Sydney, N. S., Sept. 5.-The case of eighteen Chinamen who are held in custody here as smuggled aliens has developed flaw in the Canadian law The. Chinese were apprehended when they came ashore from the schooner Chlorus, which had brought them from Newfoundland.
 The Canadian law affecting the immigration of Chinese, although providing that a Chinaman who en- ters Canada irregularly may be plac- ed in jail for year, makes no provi- sion for the disposition of the prison CT after that time. The law gives no authority for the future disposition of the prisoner. Chinese immigration authorities release the men at the ex- piration of their confinement. the Chinamen would be free to establish permanent residence in Canada, without even the payment of the $500 entrance fee. An effort will be made at the next session of parliament to amend the law.
 The case of the captain of the Chorus, who is also held, is amply provided for. A fine of not less than $500 nor more than $1,000 for each of the aliens landed may be exacted, and his vessel is liable to seizure.

IN THREE STATES AT ONE TIME.
Judge Robertson Takes Horseback
 Trip of BIO Miles,

New Haven, Sept. 5.-After a ride of 310 miles through Connecticut on his chestnut mount Copper King" Judge A. Heaton Robertson is back in New Haven after one of te most de- lightful trips he has ever taken. He was absent twenty-one days.
 The most interesting experience of his travels was when he rode out to the northeast corner of the state within the limits of the town of Thompson and where the tri-cornered boundary lines of the states of Mass achusetts, Rhode Island and Connec- ticut were pointed out to him. He refined his horse over the ground so that Copper Kings hind feet stood in. Rhode Island territory while his fore feet were astride of the state of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Stay ing in the saddle himself the judge figured that he had performed the feat of being in three states at one time.
 From there Judge Robertson rode across the upper border of the state into Hartford county, thence into Litchfield county, into Fairfield and back into New Haven county. On his ride to Thompson he passed through New Haven, Middlesex, New London and Windham and Holland counties, thus covering every county in the state.

BOLT STRUCK HOUSE.
Went Down Chimney and Tore Hole
 in Wall.

During the electrical storm this morning many got out of bed and looked out to see what was going on. but when they heard the thunder and saw the lightning and drenchins rain they pulled in their heads and went back and had another nap. The lightning was unusually sharp and made things lively for some time shortly before 6 o'clock. At the resi- dence of John Ryan in the Pearl Lakes road it struck the chimney, knocking off several bricks. and went down the flue and into the kitchen where 1t formed into a ball of fire and knocked many things out of place. Mrs Ryan was preparing breakfast at the time and while she received q bad scare she was not injured. In ad- dition to the damage done to the chimney the force of the impact when the explosion occurred was So great a large space was torn out of the wall near the chimney.

CITY HALL SOAKED.
Storm Came in Through the Holes in
 the Roof.

The committee in charge of the city hall didn't look very cheerful to- day. The rain storm was too much for the new roof and while the hole it got in through was small it was large enough to convince the commit tee that it is capable of doing a lot of mischief. This will not do and some body will have to do his job over again. But there Is nothing wonder fuI about this Many of the store keepers who had not a drop of wat CT in their places of business in years suffered some to-day on account of leaking roofs and in a few places the damage done was quite consider able and may result in suits against the owners of the blocks There was some damage on account of surface water but this was small and it is not likely that anybody will want to make trouble over it.

AT THE HAGUE
The Paragraph Referring to The

CHOATE'S ABLE PLEA

The Hague, Sept 5,-The examin- ing committee under the presidency of M. Bourgeois to-day approved the American proposition on the subject of the establishment of a permanent international high court of justice, with the exception of the paragraph referring to the allotment of the judges. fs
 Joseph H. Choate of the American delegation, eloquently urged the ne- cessity for some such P arrangement and suggested several solutions for the points in dispute. ..-,. .< .-..
 A committee was appointed, con- posed of MT Choate, MT Scott, United States; Baron Marschall Won Bieber- stein, Germany; M. Bourgeois, France; Herr Mercy Won .Kapos-M Mere, Austria-Hungary, and Dr Barboza, Brazil, to examine the question of the allotment of judges. This con- mittee will meet September 10.

BURTON FOR PRESIDENT.
Ohio Politicians Believe Congressman

Has White House In View.
 Columbus, O., Sept. 5.-That Theo- dore B. Burton is in training as a can didate for the presidency should the Taft campaign flatten out is the prac- tically unanimous opinion of all the long headed Republican politicians here. They say that the plan to run him for mayor of Cleveland against Tom Johnson was decided at confer ence made up of Secretaries Taft and Garfield and President Roosevelt Bur- tons defeat of Tom Johnson would make him more than ever a national character and make him the winning dark horse in the convention when the Taft strength should be thrown to him. ..a-.-.-----..-..
 The attacks on the tariff views of Taft, his connections with the drum ming out of the Brownsville. soldiers and the hostility of trades unions to his labor record have been felt in many directions. His canvass even with the administration behind him has been distinctly uphill, and, while there is no intention to stop hard work in his behalf. the powers that be de. cided to- have at hand another candi- date clearly in touch with all the poli- cies of the administration, including the lock flight scheme for the Panama canal.
