VOTED DOWN BY THE union
Agreement Reached by Committee of
Miners and Manager Finch
Failed to Garry.
(special to The Herald.)

Geldfeld, New. Aug. Ex-senator
Nixon and Manager Finch of the Con-
solidated have been unable to reach
any agreement with the striking min
ers at the Mohawk and the COmbina-
ton, who were called out on account
of the change rooms. A conference
was held with a committee from the
miners union yesterday and an agree
ment reached which provided that the
men would change according to the
January agreement; that they were to
doff their street clothes and walk
across the room to their lockers on
the side of the room, passing no inter
Vening partition. To the company
was accorded the privilege of having
present one or more watchmen who
should be neutral. This proposition
was voted down at a special meeting
held this morning, only 100 votes being
cast, of which but twenty voted to &C
cept the report. A counter PROPOSE
ton was made by the committee re-
curing that the men change their
clothes at their lockers. No reference
was made to watchmen, but it was
demanded that all employees of the
company around The mines other than
mine managers and superintendent
be members of the Western Fedora
ton. This includes watchmen and
carpenters. The committee stated that
it could accept no other proposal.

Illinois Probate Court Wrestling
With Problem Involving
Unborn Baby.

Bloomington, ILL.,, August.-Can eoun-
tv officer serve a summons on an unborn
child?
This freak complication is before Judge
L. o. Eagletoa qf the Peoria county pro-
bate court, and he is wrestling with the
problem before filing a decision.
The unusual situation came up in the
settlement of the estate of Samuel h.
WitheriH. When he died he left widow
and several children, one of the latter
being unborn
In settling the estate the administrators

He fulfilled his duty properly, as he sup
posed. by leaving the summons with the
widow. The guardian of the children pro
tested against the settlement of the es-
tate on the ground that summons could
not be legally served on the unborn child,
and that the action must wait until the
child is born.
AS the unborn child will have the same
interest in the estate as the others, 1t is
believed the court will hold that the sum-
mons was Illegal

BUILDING At STANDST|Ll
Exorbitant Demands of Plumbers at
Goldfield Compels a General
Shutdown.

Goldfield, New, Aug. 23.-Building oper-
ations in Goldfield ceased at o'clock last
Tuesday afternoon after the master build
ers notified their employees that their
services were no longer needed. The lock-
out is the direct result of the strike of
the plumbers who walked out last week
when their demand for an increase in
wages from s. TO 81 for eight hours work
was refused. The employers and master
builders appealed to the trades council
to order the plumbers back to work but
the central body declined to interfere.
The building contractors then held a con-
ference with the owners of buildings I'M
der construction. 1t was decided that to
grant the demands of pay of plumbers
who recently secured a raise in wages
would be simply an invitation to the
building trades to demand an increase In
wages. Work, therefore, was suspended.

1t is argued that with the present or

In a statement gwen out at the Of

Los Angeles, Aug. z3.-With the arrest

revolutionary movement which under the
name of La Junta, has for three years
past been a source of endless trouble
and annoyance to the administration of
President Diaz, is conceded to have been
stamped out. The men in custody have

TO ORDER MORE SIDEWALKS
Ordinance Providing for Nearly
 Five Miles
To be Introduced at the Meeting of the City Council to be Held Next
 Tuesday Night.

At the next meeting of the city council, to be held next Tuesday night, an ordinance requiring the laying of nearly five miles of con- crete or Tagging sidewalk will be introduced. Several petitions have recently been brought to the coun- cil asking for sidewalks in various parts of the city, and these have all been referred to the improve ment committee, who on last Thursday took a drive over the city to investigate the conditions and needs of the city in that re- spect.
 It was decided by the committee to recommend the laying of walks in all parts of the city where they are badly needed, and suggest to the council that wherever it was thought unnecessary to lay walks immediately, those sections could be stricken from the ordinance.
 The following are the streets along which the committee will recommend that walks be ordered laid:
 South side of College avenue, from Harkrider street west to cor poration line through John Hart ley's place, about z8 mile.
 South side of Scott street, west from Locust avenue to Mitchell street, about 38 mile.
 North side of Robinson avenue, west from Locust avenue to Wat kins street, about 1a mile.
 South side of Prairie street, west from Front street to Locust avenue, about 18 mile.
 West side of Center street, north from College avenue to Robinson avenue, about 14 mile.
 West side of Ash street, north from College avenue to Caldwell street, about 1a mile.
 East side of public square, Front and Conway streets, south from Main street to Catholic church, about 38 mile.
 West side of Railroad avenue, north from Oak street to oil mill, about 38 mile.
 West side of Clifton street, north from Mill street to Tyler street, about 1a mile.
 Both sides of East Oak street, from Front street to Harkrlder street, about 1a mile.
 Other small sections, about 4 mile.
 Summarized, the proposed walks embrace about 458 miles. The or dinance will probably provide for walks four feet in width, and that either Tagging or concrete may be laid. If Tagging is laid in the en- tire district outlined, the cost will approximate something like SSooo, while if concrete is used the proba- ble cost will be about fifty per cent greater.

NEW BIG DYNAMO HERE.
Generator For the Conway Light Plant Ar
 rives at Last.

The big new dynamo for the Conway light plant, which has been expected for several months, reached here Saturday, and the work of unloading and placing it in position is now in progress. This generator has exactly double the capacity of the machine now being used. It is a I5okilowatt dynamo of the latest improved pat tern. This is equivalent to about 200 horsepower. The new dyna- mo will be driven by the new POO horsepower Corliss engine which was installed few months ago.
 The improvements installed at the light plant since last summer will cost over S5ooo, and will give the city perhaps the best equipped plant of its size in the state. The growth of the light business since the plant was installed has been re- markable, the new dynamo having more than three times the capacity of the first machine with which the plant began its operation.
 The board in charge of the plant now have under consideration the proposition of running continuous ly day and night, in order to sup ply lights on dark days and power for fans and all purposes. Having an entire duplicate set of equip ment, it is thought that the smaller engine and dynamo now in use can be run for the day circuit when the load is light and the new machinery used for the night load.
