COMPROMISE REACHED ON
SIDEWALK BOND MATTER
Contractors Will Be Permitted To Do
Preliminary Work and Furnish
Suretieg Later

|. A compromise was reached Monday
morning between Commissioner Haar
err. of the department OF public works
and the council committee on streets
by which permits will be given to the
smaller sidewalk contractors to tear
up dangerous wooden walks and put
in cinders preparatory to laying the
cement top. This last they will not be
allowed to do until they have filed per-
sOnal bonds according to form 10 be
drawn up by the corporation counsel
and have satisfied the commissioner
as to the responsibility OF the sureties.
This arrangement was fixed up after
a long session of talk, and proved sat
isfactory TO all parties. 1t cleared the
way for further amendment of the or
dinance, Aid Shapland having put In
an amendment which requires sureties
OIL sidewalks bonds to describe the
property they posses.
Aid Ellis began things by calling
attention to the fact that the sidewalk
bonds are not to protect the city but
the property-owners.
Let the people look out for their
own interests" said Aid. Gilman, and
there was murmured applause from
the chorus Of sidewalk contractors.
The talk brought out the fact that.
while Commissioner Haarer has APP
proved number of surety company
tonds for contractors. he has not &C.
cepted any personal surety bonds.
Many contractors who wish 10 give
the personal bonds have taken con-
tracts to lay walks and these walks
were In danger of being ripped up
and -relaid blythe city contractors ew-
Ing to the other contractors not hav.
ing been able to qualify.
I'VE should make the commissioner
obey the ordinance" said Chairman
Goeschel. He has no valid reason to
object. There Is something back OF
ali this
Haarer reminded the committee.
when called IN. that there have been
nine changes in the sidewalk ord.n-
ance this year, and said that he had
gone slowly while the council. was
getting the law In shape to suit itself.
lie was ready however. to let the dan
gerous walks be torn up and would
give the contractors permits to finish
them as soon as they had fled the
proper Kind of personal bonds aud he
had time to look up the sureties. He
wanted the council to approve Of the
bonds. but all the aldermen demurred
to this.

Probate Court Likely to inquire
Whether Rubin Corby Is Sane.

Rubin c. Corby's wild west attack
on a Jefferson c6r, near Meldrum-ave.
Is apt 10 result in trip to retreat
for Rubin, who pointed n big revol'

by Sergt. julius King, before he had
done any damage. Monday morning
he appeared before Justice Stein on
the charge of carrying concealed
weapons.
Corby, who gave his address as No

his efforts to convince the Judge that
he was not an undesirable citizen.

afraid that he would spend all OF his

Young Corby had his revolver level

pened to be a passenger, jumped on
and grabbed him.
I've a mind TO give you good
punch in the head" said Corby TO
King. The latter tapped the warlike
gentleman with his open hand, and
Corby went down for the count.
Come along now, said King.
Yes. SIR" said Corby, very meekly
Corbys sister. Mrs. Clark. told JUS
tice Stein that she was afraid OF her
brother. who had a habit Of carrying
firearms. She whispered the informa
ton into the judges ear, and the
Judge. Just as quietly, whispered 70
her to make a complaint TO the pro
Date court, and have her brother ex
amined. Then, while Corby strained
to hear what was being pulled of. the
Judge remarked, loudly. to Mrs. Clark

And poor Corby, never dreaming
that they were slipping one over OF
him. smiled a satisfied smile. and wen
cheerfully to iail for the time being.

Manufacturer Convention Begins in
New York-Committee in Its Re-
port Raps Labor Unions.

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE re.elec.
tion OF James w. Van Cleave, Of st.
Louis for the prosecution OF his cam
paign against antiinjunction legisla-
tion and the forwarding OF his origin
al scheme for the establishment OF a
perpetual tariff commission Is probable
at the outset OF the fourteenth annual
convention of the National Association
OF Manufacturers. which began this
afternoon at the Waldorf Astoria. Sew
eral weeks ago President Van Cleave
announced his intention of retiring
at the conclusion of his present term.
This declaration raised a storm OF pro-
test from all sections OF the country
and the first arrivals OF the associa-
ton leaders participated In a confer
ence with the retiring chief OF the
manufacturers In an effort to secure
his assent TO denomination.
An announcement is expected from
Van Cleave some time today or tomor-
row. when he delivers his annual re-
port.
In support of It's advocacy OF indus
trial education. the committee says:
Were organized labor formed and
conducted along rational and just
lines, II would be sin to exclude II
from any movement for the advance
ment OF the human race; but as II
now stands, to put II In charge OF a
movement in the interest of Industrial
education and trade training would be
like putting the lamb in the care Of a
wolf"
To prove the inadequacy OF even
the present system OF Industrial edu-
cation the report says:
We have the strongest example
possible of this right before us at the
present moment. We see the presi-
dent OF the American Federation OF
Labor defying the highest courts in
the land. and that too, while he is I'M
der Jail sentence. Now let us ask you,
who is there amongst us that would
assume the task OF teaching Gompers
the error OF his way"
The committee on banking and cur
rency says:
1t is our opinion that our present
banking system ought either TO be
amended by law, allowing issue OF a
supplemental asset currency secured
by an appropriate guarantee fund with
proper restrictions as to issue. or that
We ought to change our banking sys-
tenn entirely from system that suits
the conditions OF war or the condi-
lions of peace"

OEPEW POkEs FUN
At S0UTAERNERs
They Reject Idea of Protection, But
Believe in Its Application to Their
Products" He Says.

WASHINGTON, May l7.-'In the
cloud OF generals who were famous
in the civil war. eGn. Winfield Scott
Hancock Is nearly forgotten, but his
fame Is likely to be embalmed In his
phrase. The tariff Is a local issue. I"
said Senator Depew. Of New York. to-
day. In a speech In the senate. endors.
ing that statement as truth which
IS breaking party lines.
He predicted that II England had a
tariff which would equalize the cost of
production with Germany, Belgium.
France and Holland, including fair
wages 10 her people. she might again
become, not the workshop OF the
world, as she once was. but very much
nearer to It thar she Is today.
Senator Depew declared that Sena-
tors Dolliver, Cummins, Nelson and
Bristow. In their speeches, had de-
veloped a new kind OF protection.
The new school believes In the
principle. but opposes its application, .
he said. Our southern friends reject
the principle OF protectiops but believe
In its application to their own prod
ucts. believe II q committee were
appointed. composed exclusively OF the
senators on our side, who object most
violently to this DILL, that they would
have more difficulty In agreeing with
one another than II Is Understood our
Democratic members had. when they
caucused the measure"
He denied that there was either
pledge OF party or expectation OF the
people that there should be a general
revision downward.
Speaking OF the proposition to put
oil on the free list. the senator said !:
at Is as plain as two and two make
four that the Standard Oil Co. would
be the sole beneficiary at the ey-
pense OF the American independent
producers, of the free trade in oil be.
tween Mexico and the United States"
Referring to Senator Delivers
speech on the wool schedule, Depfw
said: "A can of dynamite intelligently
exploded will get more headlines and
editorial comment than all tho rail-
road trains OF the country carrying the
products OF the farmer to the factories
and the market"
He then declared that Delivers
criticism was more to the manner OF
administration than to the subject
matter Of the law and that 1t was i'm
possible to frame tarif bill In which
some paragraphs would not be highly
technical.
Depew characterized the 80 ton
profit in excess Of any legitimate re-
turn, charged by Senator Cummins TO
have been made by the United States
Steel corporation. to be "preposterous"
and asked why. having the power to
produce more cheaply, that corporation
did not crush Its Independent rivals.
He strongly contended that both
the income ami inheritance taxes
should be left to the states to Inn
pose.
He also opposed the creation OF
tariff commission, saying That 1t
would keep alive what The country
most depreciates and most fears-a
perpetual tariff disturbance.
Pass some law quickly and ad.
journ, is what the country wants.

A GLOVE SOCIAL.
An Enjoyable Entertainment
Given By Miss Mcdonald.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
A"glove social" was the name
of a very enjoyable entertain
ment given at the Pembroke
school building on the evening
of October 18th by the teacher
of the school at this place, Miss
Janet Mcdonald. Tiny gloves
were distributed previous to the
entertainment with written re-
guests that money be placed
within them and given on the
evening of the entertainment to
the door-keeper as the price of
admission to the exercises with
in the building. The cents in
each glove was to equal twice
the number of glove worn by the
person who returned it.
The first part of the entertain
ment was a well-arranged pro.
gram rendered by the pupils Of
the school. The selections O.

caught were mirth provoking
prophesies.
Scarcely had this source of
amusement subsidized when all
were invited to gather in front
of a Gypsy tent, within whose
mystic precints fortunes good
and evil were concealed in a
large cake. Five cents bought
the special slice of cake contain
ing the fortune of it's purchaser.
The fortunes revealed by the
slices Of cake caused much fun.
This closed a pleasant evening.
Miss Mcdonald gave the en-
tertainment, primarily, to raise
money to purchase an eight-vol'
ume encyclopedia for the schoo
library. The collection, above
expenses, more than met the
price of the books.
