DISBANDING TAILORS' UNION.
United Garment Workers Forming . New
nio I'm Place Of the Brotherhood.

tUlteu NB8TuICNt WOThCTo JBEIuluB - New
Union in Place Of the Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood Of Tailors, which has
been ordering strikes every summer for
the last ten years, will be out OF existence
in a week or 50, according to Benjamin
Larger, general secretary of the United
Garment Workers of America, and another
organization will take its place which will
be more careful in the a of strikes.
Final arrangements were made yester-
day by the general executive board Of the
United Garment Workers to start the en-
rollment Of members for the new body to-
morrow, and all the coat tailors who give
UP their present strike, which at one time
involved IS, 900 ~tailors, will be eligible for
membership. Those who remain on strike
in violation Of the orders of the United
Garment Workers to return to work pend
ing arbitration will nave no union.
The strikoitself, 1t was learned yesterday,
has proved a fizzle. as strikers were STAN
peding TO work all last week. The strike
had narrowed down to a fight az TO whether
the coat tailors would be controlled by the
United Garment Workers and the American
Federation Of Labor or the Socialists, as
represented in the United Hebrew Trades,
which advised the strikers to stay out.
According to last reports the United Gar
ment Workers won.
Secretary Larger of the United Garment
Workers said last evening that when the
new organization il completed the annual
summer strike OF the tailors will be a thing
Of the past. They were ordered in most
cases because the tailors, after they gained
their demands one summer, woul drop
out of the union in patches and a strike
had to be arranged in order to get them to
pay up their Tues and join the union again
the next summer.

GAVE WHISkEY FOR FARE.
Will o Su the New York Central for
Injuries Received on the Ride.

Utica, Aug. IA novel question will
be raised in a suit against the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad Com
pany which is to be brought within a few
days. The question is whether or not a half
pint Of whiskey is legal pay for a ride from
Syracuse to WATERFOWL. The identity of
the person who 10 to institute the action
against the railroad has not been revealed,
but il is said that he is a resident OF Water
town.
The facts in the case recite that several
months ago this person was In Syracuse
and was bou to purchase a ticket to 70 to
Watertown, when a friend old him he
could get him a ride on a freight. It il
said that the conductor on the freight was
asked II b 70 person might ride and answered
in substance thai he could II he had a half
pint. The would-be passenger purchased
a pint Of whiskey ahd the conductor helped
himself. The passengers rode to Water
town, but on the way the train met with
an accident and he was so badly injured
that he was in the hospital for nearly two
months.
II is conceded that IL the person rode free
the railroad would not be responsible fer
any injuries he sustained, but il 10 urged
by the attorney who 10 to bring the suit that
when he gave the conductor the whiskey
the liquor was accepted as the fare to Water
town and consequently the railroad COM
pany was bound by the conductors act
and WED him the same care and duty that
IL would have owed him had he been riding
in q palace car instead OF in the caboose.

The detectives who are trying to run
down the murderer Of Katie Tietschler.
whose body was found in a cellar at 203
First avenue hast Thursday. found yester-
day a man who admitted TO Inspector
McCafferty that he had known the victim
and that the day after her disappearanoe
he had been in the cellar where her body
was discovered subsequently. This man
is Luigi opposite, one of four brothers who
own pushcarts and who told the inspector
that they had rented the cellar where the
child was found to keep their stock in over
night.
John Bauer. the uncle Of the murdered
child. who has been as active as the detec-
tives and sometimes more acute in the
search for the perpetrators of the crime,
recommended on Friday the questioning
OF the opposite brothers, Luigi. Tomaso.
George and James. Early yesterday morn
ing the detectives rounded them ND and
took them TO Headquarters.
All OF the brothers except the elder,
Luigi, answered McCafferty's questions
in a straightforward manner Under
severe examination Luigi became confused
and contradictory. He finally admitted
that he had spoken a few times to Katie
Tietschler and hat he had been in the cellar
on two occasions after the girl had been
missed from her home. He admitted in
timacy with Annie Messner. the woman
now held on suspicion In the Tombs, and
with several men Of her acquaintance.
He was arraigned in the forkville court
as a suspicious person and held without
bail for forty-eight hours. He was locked
