CHICAGO, July 24.--foreign musi-
clans are to be placed under investiga'
tion by tho American Federation OF
Musicians, because 1t is said they are
engaged to labor in violation of the
contract labor laws,
All locals affiliated with the American
Federation have been instructed to col
lect data and submit them to the Ma
tional officers, All the knowledge con-
eerning these musicians will be tabula-
ted and placed before the commissioner
OF immigration and that official will be
asked to take action that will exclude
them from following the business here.
MANY Of these importations are men
from the hboring world, and have little

Joseph +. Winkler, president Of the
Chicago local.
MANY of the bands posing as being

dummy members carry the instruments
and go through the action of playing
while in reality the mouthpieces are
plugged and they make no sound at all.
The noisy members are the time mar

in the arrangement OF tho music.
In many imported bands few really

In referring to the tax collector,
Judge Lewis said this officer
should have an office in the court
house, and the people should go
to the court house to pay their
taxes. 1t is a debt they owe the
state and county, and they
should put themselves to incon-
venience to settle it.

freezing can again. This was
repeated as many as twenty
times. The bricks were then
dried, and their rushing
strength was compared with
that of duplicates which had
been manufactured at the same
time and had not been frozen or
otherwise exposed to the wealth
Ier. In every case, except when
the bricks contained consider
able quantities of clay, there
was practically no falling off in
in the crushing strength, From
the foregoing it is evident that
if properly manufactured, sand
lime brick is not at all suscepti-
bic to the ravages Of frost and
moisture.
Numerous tests have been
made to determ mine the behavior
Iof sand-lime bricks under the
action Of fire and water. In
every case they have come out
with favorable record. The
result may be sum med up in the
following statement: The ap-
plication of great heat, followed
by sudden quenching with wa
ter, destroys to some extent the
borfd on the surface and to a lit
tie depth beneath, but leaves the
brick safe and intact. There
was seldom any cracking or
breaking Of the brick, and the
softening did not seem to pene-
trate the brick to any great ex-
tent. This is perfectly natural,
since the brick are largely
made of quartz, which is a poor
conductor of heat.

Doublin Courier Dispatch.
In an able charge to the grand
jury in Laurens Superior Court
yesterday morning, Judge Fl. G..
Lewis referred to several mat
ters of interest to the public.
Ia discussing the importance
of the Office of County Commissi-
oner, who in this county is the
tax levying officer and also the
disburser of the public funds,
the Judge said the board should
make a clear statement through
the county papers every month
of every dollar received and
every dollar paid out. He said
this plan was ust because the
people we're entitled to the IN
formation, and also because the
constant publicity would be an
effective deterrent to any inclin-
alton towards extravaganza. Ii
the public officials knew that
nearly ali the people would
scrutinize their financial acts
closely, as they could if these re-
ports were published monthly,
the Judge thought there would
be more economy displayed and
consequently a saving to the
public.
THE PIsTOL,TOTING COWARD.
Judge Lewis always pays es-
pecial attention to the one who
carries concealed weapons. He
denominated the pistol-toter as a
coward at heart, and sooner or
later he comes to grief and cauS'
es sorrow in the homes Of others.
The Judge urged the strict en-"
forcement Of the law against car
rylng concealed weapons.
Judge Lewis called the atten7
ton of the Jury to other impor-
tant matters, among them the
revision of the tax returns. The
tax receiver does his best, per-
haps, to get all the taxable prop
erty on the books at as high q

SAND-LIME BRICK.
United States Census Reports.

United States Census Reports.
The sand.lime brick industry
has passed the experimental
stage, and though still in its IN
fancy there is every reason to
believe that it will eventually
rank among the foremost of the
country.
The successful manufacture
of sand-1ime brick in for1gn
countries appears to antedate
that in this country by several
years. According to United
States Consul-General Mason, at
Berlin, the discovery that freshly
pressed bricks of sand and lime
could be hardened in a few
hours by heat and pressure OF
steam was made in Potsda N,
Germany, about 1880. Plants
on a large scale we're subse-
quently constructed, and the in
dustry extended throughout
Germany and Great Britain.
In the United States the in-
dustry has grown from one
plant, established in Michigan
City, Ind, in 1901, to so establish
ments in 1905. Ia some in
stances these brick we're made IN
establishments having clay pro-
ducts as their chief output, while
in others they were products
of plants exclusively confined to
the manufacture of sand-lime
brick. AS this product was not
reported at the census of 1900,
comparisons can not be made.
In 1905 the total production OF
sand-lime brick was SITS
thousand brick, valued at $685.
003, an average of $7.95 per thou
sand, $2.05 above the average
price of common brick for the
United States. The establish
ments reporting this product
were not confined to any par
ticular region, but scattered
through Is states. Michigan led
with g plants, Pennsylvania aud

The color Of sand-lime brick
is usually gray, although COM
paratively pure quartz will pro-
duce a brick almost white. By
the addition of mineral oxide all
most any color can be obtained.
The weather and fire resisting
properties of the brick compare
favorably with those Of other
building material, as is shown by
the following observations and
experiments of Prof. S. Y.
Peppel:
The resistance Of saud-lime
brick to weather is shown by its
behavior in buildings which have
been erected in severe climates
and have shown no signs of dis.
intergation in a number Of years.
The writer has observed the
condition of a house built in
Michigan City, Ind, early in the
winter of 1901. This house was
inspected late that winter, again
IN 1902, and again late in the
winter of 1903, and no sign Of
weakness or attack due 20 the
action Of frost could be detected.
There are buildings in northern
Ger many which have been stand
ing eight or ten years and which
show no signs of disintegratiOn.
Severe freezing tests have been
applied to sand-lime brick by the
Ohio geological survey and no
evidence Of weakness has re-
suited. The experience of Prof
Ira Woolson, of Columbia Uni
versity, in testing commercial
samples. has confirmed the
work of the writer. The freez.
ing tests which were applied
were very severe. Blocks were
saturated with water, then frozen
rapidly by artificial means, then

more Of the former could be

there are seven, would relieve
