Emergency Horses FirsI on Scene,
But Other Doctor Saves Day.
Pedestrians in the neighb0ThOOd OF
Four-and and I streets southwest
on Thursday morning Witnessed an anus
ing and spirited race between two hospi-
tai ambulances.
The incident occurred following a cut
ting ARRAY in Cow alley between several
negroes, when both the Emergency and
Casualty hospitals were asked TO send out
their ambulances. It happened that both
vehicles met at the corner of FOur-and-a-
half and L streets, and, seeing the situa-
ton, their respective drivers urged their
horses To see which institution owned the
swiftest outfit. Because of delays TO the
Casualty ambulance. the Emergency team
reached the mouth Of the alley FIRST
thinking they had won the race. At this
moment the other vehicle rushed up, and,
springing out, the doctor in attendance
ran at a ten-second speed through the
alley and secured the case before his Op-
ponents were aware of his presence.
The incident was witnessed by a num-
Der Of people. who commented on the doc
tors pluck and gave him hearty cheer.

UNIONS DEMAND STOPS WORK
Nonunion Men Handled Metropoli-
tan-Citizens' Vault.
Strike on Municipal Building short
sharp, and ETective-Ends in
Favor of Unions.

Work on the immense steel and concrete
vault being built in the new Metropolitan
Citizens Bank Building. on Fifteenth
street was stopped late yesterday after
noon.
The halt was called by the architect
experimenting the work. upon the threat
of the building mechanics working on the
bank building to go out on strike unless
union iron and steel workers We're en-
ployed to do the job.
UnskiIled workmen in the employ of the
George ". Knox Express Company have
been putting the immense steel pieces in
place and boiling them, the Knox com
pany having taken the contract for not
only hauling. but erecting the vault The
union men objected and threatened 10
strike: consequently the work was stop
ped to await advices from New York. Il
is probable that "a representative of the
New York firm will arrive on the scene
to-day.
The safe was built by the Sherman
Williams Company, who put the safe in
the Munsey Building AT the time this
one was put In the union men objected,
but. it Is said, allowed the erecting work
to be done by laborers upon the promise
of a representative Of the firm that on
any future work in Washington members
of the Iron Workers Union would be en-
ployed. The men claim this promise was
not kept
All the men employed on the new
municipal building who went on strike
yesterday morning will return TO work at
the usual time this morning. their de-
mands having been met and the trouble
ended. so far as they are concerned.
Nearly 200 skilled mechanics were al
fected. besides a large number Of laboTers.
The strike on the municipal building
was the most quiet and orderly ever de-
clared. People passing along the street
al the time were unaware that anything
unusual was going on. Everything was
done quickly and systematically.
The strike grew out of the dispute OF
the master and journeyman plumbers over
the Interpretation OF articles and OF
the arbitration award of the board app
pointed after the lockout in March year
ago. The iourneyman plumbers hold that
the disputed clauses re-establish the old
contract. and Shop rules existing before
the lockout. and that under them the open
shop is barred.
Mr. Parsons. the contractor for the
building. stated yesterday that he would
require the plumbing firm to furnish sat
isfactory men 10 do the work, and that If
this requirement. was not met he would do
it himself and charge it 10 the firm Of
Nolan d Sons Il don't propose to let him
keep non-uniOn men here, because / don
believe he is living up TO the requirements
Of the arbitration award by doing so.

Disposition Is 10 Laugh.

on the part of some political doubling
Thomases here there is disposition 10
laugh at the whole story that any com
blnation OF rich men and politicians
with S, 600 600 behind them IS in existence
for the purpose of preventing a Roosevelt
man from getting the next Republican
Presidential nomination. They insist
that. even admitting that Senator Pen
rose or somebody else did say that this
alleged plan was under way. such foolish
talk has been taken too seriously, and is
being used 10 create an issue which is
bound to prove popular IN the battle for
the selection of delegates TO the conven-
ton. the issues being Rooseveltism
against Harrimanism. But around the
White House the claim that there is a
plot already under way TO injure the
Presidents power in his party is adhered
10 as strongly as ever. It is maintained
there that the disclosures made within
the last few days were not based merely
on statements at the private dinner, but
but were corrOb0rated from other sources.
The fact became known yesterday that
il was not the intention Of the President
or others who knew the story OF the al
