EXPEDITING HOMECoMERs.
Will Fill Out Declaration Blanks at
Their Leisure Aboard Ship.

NEW YORK, August 17-The American
liner New York which sailed hence for
Southampton Saturday, took away about
10000 blank declarations in pad form for
the use of passengers who will arrive here
by her about September /. The object of
the declaration is to facilitate the entry of
passengers and their baggage into the port
of New York.
The passenger will fill out the form tell
ing what he has in his baggage and all
about himself that the customs folk re-
quire and will file the declaration with the
purser of the ship. This will do away with
the process of examination by acting deputy
collectors who board ships at Quarantine
and come up to the piers with them. Either
on the pier or the ship on the way from
Quarantine the passenger will certify to the
correctness of the decla ration he has turned
over to the purser.
The New York will be the first ship to be
passed under the new rule. The Cunard and
White Star lines have received thousands
of declarations for in the next two
months when the rush of homecomers
will be at top notch and greater than ever
in the history Of the port.

PLANTING OF TREES.
How St. Louis Expects to Secure Re
Suits

In the general movement for civic i'm
provement the question of trees is an i'm
portant factor. and much attention has
been given to the choice of the best trees
for St. Louis conditions, says the Globe
Democrat. Several kinds of trees have been
tested by experts, and two have been found
to be capable of enduring without injury
the smoke. soft coal gases and other con-
ditions peculiar to this city. These are
the sycamore and in some degree the swamp

The city has been laid out in districts for
tree planting, certain trees allotted to GER
tain sections. and the two trees mentioned
being given the preference. Hereafter the
city forester will that only the kind
Of tree officially designated for each par
ticular locality will be planted in that To-

to harmony and a consequent greater

FRELINGEUySEN WITHDEAWS
Won't Be Republican Candidate for
Governor of New Jersey.

TRENTON, n. J., August 17-Some sur
prise was manifested in political circles
when il was learned that Senator Joseph
S. Frel;nghuysen had formally with
drawn as a candidate for the republican
nomination for governor. His letter of
Withdrawal was addr essed to the executive
committee of his county. In it he expressed
confidence that the party would be sue
&c ssful next fall and said he had sym
pathy with those pessimlsts wAo feared
defeat. Admitting that party harmony
does not prevail everywhere in the state,
Senator Frelinghuysen declared that the
lack of it IS purely local and all differences
could be cured by a ightforward, hon
est and open campaign.
The action of the Mckinley and Roose-
welt Club of Orange i'll indorsing almost
unanimously the candidacy OF Chandler w.
Rikor as against Sheriff Frank II. Sommer
of Essex county is regarded here as fore
casting the ultimate withdrawal of Mr.
Sommer 1t is kNuWn that Senator Colby
was never enthusiastic over having his
followers attempt to name candidate of
their own. believing that to do SO would
weaken their cause. 1t would therefore
not surprise some of Mr.. Colby's intimate
friends II upon his return from Europe he
advised the withdrawal of the so-called
Colby candidate.
There was a rumor current that eX-TTnited
States Senator James Smith, jr had re-
c@!ved the consent OF John k. Hardin OF
Newark to become a candidate for the

recent theft of $1,000 from the Boston sub
treasury. Following the heavy thefts from
the st. Louis and Chicago subtreasuries
without a solution of how the money dis
appeared the treasury officials were anX-
ious to unravel this mystery.
The 5000 was stolen from a package of
$105,OtO shipped in June last from the Bos-
ton SubtreaSury to the Washington depart
ment for redemption. The money was made
up mainly of 81 $50 notes. Three of these
were missing when the money reached here.
Theft at Boston End.
An investigation by secret service men
was started, and the conclusion was reached
that the package had not been tempered

Louisville architects were generally fol-
lowed the effect exerted on unionism pre-
ponderance would DO much toward causing
it to vanish into thin air.
washington, D. c., too, has fallen in line
with this awakening of the employers, and
like CULVER, they are breaking the threads
of the Lilliputians. In common with the
contractors in every section of the country
they are beginning to realize that this domi-
nation of unionism is more of a nightmare
than a reality, and all that is required to
send this goblin to his lair is determined

largest builders of residences and apart

member of the Master Builders Association
and the Employers Association. has bold

nothing to do with organized labor in the
building trades, and that he will conduct
his business the principle of the open
shop. Mr.. Wardman has found no difficulty
in securing competent workmen. There is
not union man employed on any of his
contracts. yet he is getting satisfactory
results, his work is progressing, harmony
prevails and the men are content. For
years Mr.. Wardmans firm had temporized

THE BULL BY THE HORNS
THIS CLAIM MADE FOR BUILDING
CONTRACTORS.
Architects and Builders Journal Com
ments Editorially on Strike
Situation Here.

An editorial in the Architects and Build
ers' Journal has this to say of labor condi-
lions in Louisville, Ky, and Washington
d. c.:
Taking the bull by the horns is the
heroic method adopted by the building con-
tractors of Louisville Ky, in the crisis re-
Gently reached through the demands of Or
ganized labor. The demand made upon the
building contractors to sign an agreement
whereby they would employ only union
labor was ignored. whereupon the union
workers walked out, declaring a strike I'M
til their demand is complied with. The con-
tractors. in meeting assembled. passed res
olutions condemning the action of the
unions, and pledged themselves to uphold
the open-shop principle conceding the right
of workingmen to belong or not to belong
to a labor union as they choose, and setting
forth that the closed-shop conditions are
responsible for riot bloodshed and anarchy
in San Francisco, Chicago and other cities
and the increased wages and decreased eff
ficency have rendered the cost of building
prohibitive and caused a commercial unrest
that is fatal to continued prosperity. The
resolution cited the decline of building OPP
erations in New York, Washington and
other sections, mainly due to the eXactions
of organized labor. From late advices from
masters of the situation, with all the
union men busily employed and So per cent

Open Shop.
I'm connection with this action of the
Louisville building contractors an article
on The Open Shop by E. A. Quarles, sec
rotary of the Louisville Builders Exchange
and which is published In this issue of the
Architects and Builders Journal, is of in
terest TO contractors throughout the coun-
try, as 1t describes the penalty attached
TO members of the building organization
who fail TO live up to the strict letter of the
constitution and bylaws of the Master
Builders Association.
What promises to be one of the most Sc
we're blows dealt to the labor unions Of
Louisville comes from an unexpected source
from the architects, who, at a meeting
held July Is, resolved that from this date
they will advise and urge their clients not
TO invite any contractor to bid on work
who employs workmen affiliated with the
Structural Building Trades Alliance The
architects have not heretofore concerned
themselves much about the unions leaving
any contentious that might arise to be
threshed out by the contractors and the
walking delegates; but d matter of pro
lection to their clients the architects, while
not hostile to the broad principles of
unionlsIn, feel that they should check and
condemn what they regard as a conspiracy
OF the unions in the building trades to COM
pei those who have building to do in Louis |
vile to employ only contractors who work
union men to the exclusion of all others |
The advocacy of the open shop coming !
from this source, cannot fail to exert an |

Some property owners object to what
they term the arbitrary action of the city
in compelling a man to plant one sort of
tree when he wants to plant another, but
in most cases when reasons for this action
are explained they see the purpose and are
willing to conform to the new rules. es-

only and leaves the individual free to
make his own choice of tree for his yard.

all future tree planting viii be done in
conformity with the new order. This is
also in consonance with the fact that the
street trees are planted on the citys prop
erty, not the property OF owners.
