also Irish. Fitzpatrick made no arrests,

Threaten to Resign.

superintendent for P. J. Moran, yester-
day. when handed an order from II. G.
Mcmillan, chairman OF the board Of
works cOntrOverting a previous order
from Mayor John s. BransfOrd. And
the work went on as -he mayor ordered.
The whole affair was as pretty "a hot
weather quarrel as the mayor has had
with anybody since his famous appoint
ment Of James Devine as fire chief. As
result of the dispute. the chairman
and two members of the board of works
are threatening TO resign, and l. G KEEL
sey, city engineer, Is chuckling with glee
at being thoroughly sustained.
Chairman Mcmillan started the whole
trouble ON Saturday he noticed that
the new blocks of sidewalk being put in
on Main street along the new curbing
were being laid flush with the curb. He
hunted up the contractor and insisted
that an inch be left for expansion.
City Engineer Kelsey heard of this
shortly after lunch, and laughed at It,
He promptly went to the mayor, told
him that concrete, laid in such hot
weather, needed no allowance for ex-
pansion. but that it would contract in
colder weather and only expand back TO
its original position. The mayor
promptly ordered the sidewalk put down
as the original plans provided flush
with the curb. and exactly contrary to
McMillan's order Of the morning.
Seek Reinforcements.
Chairman Mcmillan. with G. d. Rock
lidge, another member OF the board,
happened along a little later and saw
that Frank Gawan, Moran's engineer
and a good one-was paying no atten-
ton to the chairman's order to leave an
inch for expansion between sidewalk
and curb. Get busy" said they. i
can't" said Gawan. the mayor says
No Mcmillan and RoOklidge became
angry; in fact, enraged, and vowed that
they would do several things to Kelsey
and to the mayor. They would even
resign.
Between Saturday night and Monday
morning they hunted UP G. P. Brooks
of the board also, and manag ed to per-
suade him that Kelsey knew nothing
about laying sidewalks anyway. Then
the three made another attempt to
change the manner in which the WoIk
was being done They ordered the in
spector on the job to see that the space
was left for expansion. He refused, say
NJ that he couldn't go against the
mayors orders. He was threatened
with dismissal.

THE INSTRUMENTATION OF
FREE MASONRY.

Grand Master Martin of the Caucas-
ian Masonic Grand Lodge of the more
or less grand old commonwealth of
Mississippi, has set seriously about the
task of reforming the institution of
Freemahsory and making it such as
it ought to be and must be in order to
flourish in that enlightened section of
the universe.
Grand Master Martin recently dis
covered that the Caucasian Grand
Lodge of New Jersey had, among it's

can members. = -
AS Alpha Lodge has existed for
nearly century, intelligent Masons all
over the world knew of it's existence,
but the Mississippi fellow never
"hearn tell of such a thing before.
And it is fair to presume that his ig-
norance is sufficiently comprehensive
to make him unaware of the fact that
the grand lodges of England, Scotland,
Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy,
Hungary, Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Jamai
ca, Porto Rico, Peru and Argentina are
in the same attitude as that Of New
