BRIDGE LIKE H0RATIUS
Special Gable to The Herald.


CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 2. - Two
soldiers of the Yildiz guards in a mad
freak at noon today held for two hours
the Karakeny bridge, which spans the
Golden Horn, joining Galata and Stam-
boul.
They drew their sword bayonets,
slashed indiscriminately at all who at
tempted to pass, and in a few minutes
had cleared the bridge.
Word spread that a massacre had
been planned. Shops were instantly
closed and people hurried to places of
safety.
A thousand troops were called out
and advanced to each end of the bridge.
But they could do nothing without or
ders from the sultan, as the two men
waited until his majesty sent word that
they were to be taken alive.
The terraces and windows of all
buildings in the vicinity were crowded
with spectators, who watched the two
men march from one end of the bridge
to the other, brandishing their sword
bayonets with an air of ferocious de-
fiance.
When the sultans wishes were known
an officer advanced and gravely called
on the two men to surrender, but, meet
ing with a refusal, he had to retire.
After a short parley and a further de-
lay three officers advanced together,
and these closing up on the men quiet
ly, were Joined by Others in a sudden
rush.
The two soldiers struggled against
capture, but their resistance was soon
overcome and they were handcuffed
and marched ANONYMOUSLY away be-
tween files Of soldiers.

Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON. Feb. 2.-Only nov. when
the great music hall strike has become
the hercest and most bitter that has
been experienced in this country, so far
as one can remember, and more de-
termined than the big engineers strike
which convulsed the whole kingdom
some years ago are people asking what
It is all about 1t began over one little
"s," the less prominent members of
the music hall profession being coerced
by the syndicate which controls large
number of houses of entertainment into
signing contracts to perform at several
matinees weekly, instead of one with
out any extra salary.

a demand by the National Alliance of
Music Hall Artists members of the or
chestras ana stage employees, that It's
charter must be recognized as contain
ing the only conditions upon which the
artists, musicians and stage hands are
to be employed.
Insist on Extra Pay
This charter contains nine clauses,
relating to variety artistes. one of
which provides for the payment of one
twelfth Of the salary for each matinee
where performances each night are
most important clauses to the artistes,
as they say that in the provinces and
suburbs of London they are constantly
compelled to appear at several matt
nees a week without remuneration.
Clause stipulates that all disputes
shall be referred to a board of arbitra-
tion, and although both Adney Payne
and Walter Gibbons agree to pay for
the matinees. they will not agree to ar

would be used to nullify the existing
contracts.
The charter stipulateS for minimum
wage of sS.54 per week, with payment
for matineeS for members of the Anal
gamated Musicians union, it demands,
shall be employed. To this minimum
salary both Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Glib
bons agree, and both say they have
been paying the full union rates
Neither, however, will insist on their
employees joining the union.
Fix Stage Hands Scale
Other clauses of the charter relate to
the scale of wages for stage hands in
all departments, and these rates both
Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Gibbons say are
being paid at all their halls.
Mixed up with the grievance sought
to be remedied by the charter is an

ance to compel every one engaged at the
variety halls to join the new organiza
tion, and undoubtedly the opposition OF
some OF the managers to any coercion
of this sort has engendered friction.
But there is an amusing side to the
story as we'll The Gibbons offices are
crowded daily with applicants for en-
gagements. They are mainly needy
performers, amateurs and stage-struck
boys and girls anxious to get on the
boards. These are the people who are
mainly used by the halls affected by
the strike to fill up their programs.
1 asked Mr.. Mountford, secretary of
the national alliance, why the pickets
did not fry to win over the amateurs.
There is no need" said Mr.. Mount
ford, laughing. THE spectators will

KILL GOAT TO GET WOMAN'S
MONEY; WHO PAYS FOR IT?
Special Cable to The Herald.

PARIS, Feb. "A couple of days ago
there arose a knotty question that
would have delighted the arts of Solo
mon. A widow named Poisson, who
had drawn a sum of money from a
bank while returning home let one of
the bank notes fall while counting
them.
Perceiving her loss a few minutes
later, she turned back and began to
search for the note. She was delighted
when passerby told her he had seen
a man leading a goat pick up some
thing just after Nine Poisson had
passed.
The man at first denied having picked
up the bank note, but finally said that
just as he was picking it up his goat
had snatched it out of his hands and
had eaten it with much apparent relish.
This was too much for Nine. Pois-
sons credulity. After a stormy dispute
the widow, man and goat surrounded
by crowd were taken to a neighbor-
ing police station. There the owner
of the goat repeated iiis story, but the
officials laughed in his face.
They We're proceeding to draw up a
charge of theft against him when in
desperation the man cried.
THE bank note is in the goat, I tell
you, as you could easily determine by
killing It,"
A police commlssary at once sent a
policeman with the goat % a slaughter
house, where the animal was killed
and its stomach opened. Sure enough,
among the contents was the bank note,
badly chewed, but sufficiently rccog-
nizable to insure its payment by the
Bank Of France.
But Nine Poisson's joy over the re-
coVery OF her note was dashed when
the owner of the goat demanded pay
ment for his animal. AS the woman
refused to pay the commi-sary placed
an embargo on the note pending a de-
c!s4on by the judges who he called
upon to decide whether damages for
the dead goat We're due its owner, or os-
cape from accusation through the
slaughter Of the animal is sufficient in
demnity.

that a conference will be held Monday

At this time the advisability of call

The idea has long been advocated by

Chief Porter has suggested that two
more companies be installed in tins

Two large mains to extend across
