MAY CALL OUT
BROKERS' Men
Another Proposed Strike Or
der is Being Considered
by President Small
1y rnn JouRNALs gpeoIaI wIrs.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-Talk among
the striking telegraphers concerning
tho possbiliay Of general strike
among broker operators. caused much
discussion In Wall street to-day. The
result OF the meeting called by Presi-
dent Small this evening Is awaited with
great interest.
The proposed strike order for
brokers' operators was the esult OF
messages eceived by President Small
from the South and West, complaining
that quotations were being sent from
New York, Chicago and New Orleans
by non-union operators and urging a
general walk out
Many OF the brokers, however. said
To-day that they had conceded every
demand made by the union ana signed
the scale, making It impossible for the
union 60 declare a strike without vio-
latlng faith with them.
The brokers argued that such a step
by the union would put lt in n bad light
before the public and said they did hot
believe such action would be taken.

LEFT BABY IN PARLOR
Footprints Across the Field However
Led to Discovery Of the Mother.

DOVER, Aug. 2s.-A baby lying
cuddled up on two chairs placed to-
gether in the parlor was the surpris-
ing sight that greeted the eyes of Mrs.
Frank Bancroft. wife of a prosperous
farmer, when she came downstairs in
her home near her early this morning.
The front door, which had been left
unlocked for a milkman, stood wide
open.
At first Mrs. Bancroft thought the
little tiny bundle lying on the chairs
was a dog or cat. but the raising of a
little arm and faint wailing cry led to
the discovery of a 3-months-old infant
Mr.. Bancroft next discovered foot
prints of woman's shoes leading from
the door of their home across a field to
a tenant house, where a young woman
resides. The latter at first denied stout
lly that the child was hers but
when threatened with arrest confessed
that she was its mother and that she
had left it in the Bancroft home in
the hope that it would be adopted.

on the bridge, but the structure is not
heavy enough TO bear It. Some mem
bers of the court would like the top
of the bridge paved with wooden
blocks. where other members think

cause of this difference Of opinion on
the subject the court postponed ac-
ton in the matter for a few days.
Whatever material is used In laying
a new top on the bridge will necessi-
tate the strengthening of the struc-
ture Bids on this work were re-
ceived by the court yesterday from

from Jenkins and Company. but
