Phoenix Mills Revival.-The Baltimore
Star saws: "As indication of activity in the
cotton duck manufacture the prospective re-
opening of the Phoenix Mills, with the employ,
ment of several hundred hands, is to be noted
with satisfaction The fact that these mills
have remained idle for three years, with little
confidence that they would again be produc,
lively employed, shows that the era Of revived
prosperity has favorably affected local enter
prise. The particular fabrics manufactured at
these mills seem to have come into an increased
demand that makes it profitable for the Con-
| soidated Cotton Duck Company to consider
| the installation of new machinery and the
| running of the works.
| "Tbe lapse of the Warren Mills through the
purchase of the property by the city for its
| reservoir will probably act to the advantage OF
| the neghboring mills. The dependence OF the
| mill population upon the operation OF the
| manufactures gives the prospect OF increased
|
upon their welfare. Baltimore and envlrons
have wide reputation for making more cot
| ton duck than any other place in the country
| and should the growth of the industry promote
the full working of the several plants the CITY
| will attain even wider importance in this
| respect

 At BaSSett'S,
BOTH CORNERED BY HANDY
Rear Window Broken and Some Goods Are Taken 0ut-Men Chased Out of Backyard by Ffaff, the Mar
 ketman,

Just after fall of night yesterday, two men, armed with fine new .SS calibre Iver Johnson five shooters loaded in every chamber, were roun1- cd into the store of L. c. Pfaff on Church street by Patrolman Landy, and held while further police aid was summoned The men were held in the store until the arrival of Detec- tive Sergeant Dennehy, who search ed them and took away their danger ous weapons The two were brought to central station and held on the charge of burglary.
 Attention was attracted to the at- tempt of the men by the determined, yigilant bark of Scotch terrier own ed by the Pfafrs' and kept in their store Mir Pfaff happened to be near. and going to the rear of the store he saw two men in the back yard. He chased them out, and when they came out on tho street and were going up Church street bandy saw them and headed them into the store. Tnere- upon the two men invited Lan1y, who was the only officer with them at the time, to go around and see what ' they had done if he considered them guilty of any crime, but Landy dil not give them the chance they seem- cd to be after, but kept them under | his eye until assistance reached him.
 The burglary was affected through the rear of Jonn k Bassetts store at Church street. John F. Bassett Is proprietor of what he terms Tine 1 Gun Store" which is known for it's line of goods quite extensively A window in the rear of this store had been pried open with jimmy, the l police believe. so that the lock was broken and the window raised. The men rined the show cases and obtain ed some goods, according to MT Bas- sett's inventory. The jimmy with which the window was opened is still missing,
 The men gave the names of Will Ham H. Thompson and John Stein of New York. The latter is a boxer known in the ring as Jack stein.

TAFT TO HOLD ON
Believed That He Will Remain
 as a Member of Yale Corporation.
HIS COUNSEL MUCH VALUED
Amusing Story of the Influence of His Opinion on His Fellow
 Members.

Considerable interest has been ex- pressed by graduates of Yale uni- versity over President Elect Taft's at tItude towards his connection with the Yale corporation. The moment lt was originally known that he would be willing to add the cares and duties of tho Tale corporation to his other cares and duties he was unopposed in the election, Since then he has until the last two meetings been regular attendant at the meetings of the uni vcrsity board of fellows and 1t is ad mitted by his associates that his coun sel has been of the greatest possible value.
 An amusing story s told of Mir. Taft's influence with the other mem hers of the corporation. At one of the meetings last spring a matter was brought forward to which President Hadley had not given his approval and towards which he had continued to be suspicious of It's utility. He for got, however, after his usual practice to chat the matter over with Fellow 1 Taft before the meeting of the cor poration was called to order The result was that when the subject was brought forward MT. Taft argued for It's adoption with such eloquence and effect that il was speedily adopted and was made a part of the policy of the administration.
 While it is not known that the matter of his fellowship has been dis cussed with Mir, Taft. and it proba bly, has not been for all Yale men would he quite content to retain the presi- dent of the United States on It's list of corporation directors If he never attended meeting, but the trouble with that easy going philosophy is that it fails to take under considera- | ton the Taft view of personal and 1 official obligations. Friends who | have talked with him in a general 1 way say that from the drift of his i conversation they conclude that he ln- 1 tends to remain on the Yale corpor- ation and give the best attention pos sible to it's duties. He was recently l waited upon by committee of Con necticut gentlemen who wish to se- 1 cure a promise from him to make an engagement next year He asked
 them to leave the subject open until
 later and suggested that possibly the
 when he was attending to his Yale dutes This chance remark Is being
 interpreted by Yale men to mean
 that he has concluded to stick to his
 Yale job in his characteristic manner

Wall and Others State That Diff : ferences Over Schedules Ought to Be Settled
 Without Trouble.
CONFERENCES BEING HELD
Such Strike. If It Came, Would Cause Famine All Over New England by Cutting on Many
 Supplies.

In connection with the story on the possibility of trainmen's strike on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, Jeremiah Wall, chairman of the committee Of ra'l- road conductors, said in an interview last night, that there was no immed- fate or actual prospect of strike by either the trainmen or the conductors at the present time. He stated, fur thermore. that there was no likelihood of 1t in the future from present view points as the conductors and train men expected to settle differences with the railroad in conferences now being held Mir, Wall intimated, further. that if it ever should happen that such a strike took place that the strikers could gain the upper hand by tying up all supplies
 Members of the union when asked their opinion on tho possibility of a strike. replied generally as Mir. Wall did, but some foresaw q strike If the demands of the trainmcn and con duetors were totally disregarded by the railroad officials,
 Officials of the railroad say that they recognize that the men arc complaining of various things but do not expect any trouble will arise
 Representatives of the Brotherhood 1 of Locomotive Engineers say that the engineers hove no immediate or pros pective causes for complaint and have no connection or direct interest in the | present grievances of the trainmen.
 The alleged cause of complaint in 1 the trainmens and conductors camp Ia that schedules are not kept and i that mon who go out on passenger trains are frequently sent back on | trips on freight trains. older men l complain more of this than younger ] men as they can't do the work of a ! freight so well as younger mon. There l Is no written agreement about these 1 freight runs but the men say that l they had a verbal understanding ] about it. They are bound by what Is written however Another cause oi complaint is about overtime work htN dlH' Nhnl llNM duluTtiltHl hhi agreement for overtime and over runs. Trainmcn denied that an ulti. , matum had been sent to the railroad and say that the situation fig not acute l and should he settled peacefully. They say that there is no Immediate sign o' trouble, hut that they feel that lf they cannot got any satisfaction at all, thai there might then be a possibility of q ] strike
