trades organizations. with the executive
council acting in an advisory capacity;
the establishment of a Labor Memorial
Day; declaration for a universal eight
hour working day, and for a universal

needing such.
Inc building trades were given the
power to settle their own internal
with a view of eliminating the
present discomfort and discord. No
reference will be necessary to the fed
GRAFTON where other unions are not
concerned. The arrangement was an
proved by President Gompers.
After lengthy argument. it was over-
Whelrningly voted that the second Sum
day in May of each year be sci aside
as decoration and dav for
iaborers and its universal observance
urged on all afiliating bodies. The ex-
clusion of Asiatic immigrants. specifv-
ing Japanese and Chinese. was dis
cussed. That such was favored bv tho
delegates was evident by the trend Of
the speeches made.
A resolution was adopted in favor
OF a tund with which to help the Colo
rado federation fight unorganized labor.
A resolution was adopted urging all
iaDoring persons to demand the union
label on all purchases and for the an
pointment of a committee of FIVE to

Enormous Bird.

ELIZABETH, Nov. 23.-John Higgins
and Dennis Manning went hunting for
cotton-tails near White House Thurs
day. They separated in the woods
near the little hamlet of North Branch,
and Higgins had gone forward but a
few yards when an immense eagle
swooped down and. alighting on his
shoulders, clawed viciously at his face.
Though he struggled hard, Higgins
could not dislodge the bird, which
scratched his face and hands.
He caxied for his companion. who at
tackled the bird with the butt of his
gun. and finally it fell to the ground
stunned. The two then tied and
bound 1t and shipped It home Hig-

eagle was on exhibition today, and

GLIDDEN ENTRY
FAVORABLY
DISCUSSED
AutOiSts Think Well
of Plan to Compete In
Famous Tour.

The suggestion made in these col
umns recently thai Newark might well
be represented In the Glidden tour next
year, has COM in for much favorable
comment among local motorists. Officials
OF the New Jersey Automobile and Motor
Club, under whose auspices a team would
lave to be entered, ave been especially
outspoken in favoring the plan.
Horace A. Bonnell, secretary Of the
club, said that he thought the proposal
one of the best that had yet been made
to advance the interests OF the Newark
motor world.
Here we have in Newark said Mr..
Bonne1l, agencies for practically all the
standard American machines and even
some foreign makes. Newark is we'll up
in the first rank of cities having auto
mobile interests, and 1t seems to me that
the real importance Of Newark from a
motoring standpoint could not be better
brought out thar by following the sug-
gestion of THE STAR. 1 am sure the
club will do it's part to further any such
idea."
Local dealers were in general too busy
this week to give much thought to the
plan, but of those whose opinions were
asked not one spoke unfavorably,
though a few said there were details
which would have to be looked into care
fully.
If Newark agents should decide to CO.
operate there would have to be some ar
rangement made for selecting the cars to
represent the local club. 1t would depend
largely upon the wishes of the dealers
themselves whether only the larger cars
should have representation upon the team.
Suggestion has been made that a sort Of
preliminary or qualifying event be held
in the spring, imilar to the run last FRI
day and Saturday, winner or perfect
score machines to be eligible to a place on
the team. Many of the most experienced
drivers in the 24-hour run declared that
the Glidden tour was not harder on a ma
chine than this. A similar event In the
spring, either over the same curse or a
slightly different one, would be well fitted
to weed out cars unworthy to represent
this city.
1t would be manifestly unfair. however,
as conclusive. for some makes of cars were
prevented altogether from entering, while
some which did participate would have
taken even greater pains to obtain a clean
score had they known of the larger stake.
There is time enough between now and
summer for muc to be accomplished, and
even though a few Of the local dealers
seem Just now stated with automobile con-
tests. nevertheless it will be more surpris-
ing than otherwise if the start of the 1903
Glidden trophy tour does not see a team
from this city ready to start.

to this country at middle age. in 1870,

this he has spent the greater part of
his life. He was 10 years old when
he entered the trade, and he worked at

sort was used in the making of boots.

used to come at any price from a half

nnnt;INs A. CONTRACT.

If an individual makes a contract with a carpenter to build house for him, and the plans and specifications are understood and agreed to. and then If the owner during the construction of the building changes the plans, he Is clearly responsible for any addition al cost that may arige from the chang ed plans. If this is true of a private Individual or a corporation. ought it not also to be true where the Gov ernment Is having the work done?
 We make this inquiry because of hay ing noted that a firm of ship-builders tn Quincy. Mass, is trying to collect a claim of ssss,uoo which they claim is due item on account of changes made by the Navy Department in the plany<of two battlesnips which the firm had contracted to build. This looks lac a large sum to be due for mere changes In plans, but ie the Department made these changes after the contract had been agreed to, and if the changes In
 voiyed extra cost to the kdtlders, the Government ought to pay the bill, un-
 less 1t can be shown that it is exces- sive and unjust. Even slight change fir the planS ss building may cause extra work ana expense, and 1t is moth ing but fair that the party ordering the work should gay an extra cost en.
 tailed by its owp acts. And if this is a specimen of the Governments man ner of doing business these who make

AnossEs.,

A few days ago the Birmingham Ase-Herald. in commenting on the in- junction cases now in the Federal court, said:
 This injunction business means con 1t Is determined who is boss in Ala bama. The people elected Braxton Bragg Conner to that position, but Mil- authority in an ali Important matter into cooked hat.
 We regret to see the word "boss'' used in any such connection. The peo- pie of Alabama do not elect men to be bosses. but men who will support the Constitution and laws of the land. It is the purpose of government that laws shall be executed and that all in- terests shall have their rights under the law respected.
 Certain interests have seen proper to contest the legality and constitution ality of laws enacted by the Legisla. ture. but that fact does not make t"ose responsible for the contest bosses in any sense of the word. They are de mauding in a tribunal which they had a perfect right to enter a hearing as to certain questions of vital import, not only to them, but all the citizens of Alabama.
 If it Is true that those represent ing the State are to take steps to have the pending questions heard before the United States Supreme Court. the State is to be congratulated. The matter will at last have to go there and the quicker and more direct the steps taken cerned. We sincerely hope that the runor will prove well founded.

"This IS My 36th Birthday"
+. Augustus Heinse.

F. Augustus Heinze,, whose extensive interests in copper mines and mining property and more recently in New York banks, have kept him prominent ly in the public eye. was born in Brook lyn Dec ,, 1869. He was educated in the Polytechnic Institute at Brooklyn, and subsequently was graduated from the Columbia School of Mines. Beyond displaying a marked aptitude for min, eralogy. there was nothing in his col lege course to indicate that within a decade he would become one of the mining maRnates of America. His first work was as mining engineer in the mines of the Boston and Nevada Com pany at Butte. Two years later he re- turned East to receive a bequest of S500OO left by his grandfather. His brothers had received similar legacies and he persuaded them to join with him in some copper mine investments in the West. He returned West and soon was engaged in warfare with the Anlalgamated Company that filled the columns of newspapers for several years. Through it all the young en- gineer managed to prosper and accu. mulate wealth and he was reckoned in the multimillionaire class when the recent financial crash caught him. For number of years MT. Heinze has found 1t necessary to his interests to take hand in politics. and has been on the Democratic sides of all such questions
