The all-important question is: What will
he do7
There was a short conference Thursday
morning at the Piedmont between him
and George NJ. Sutton. postoffice inspec-
tor; and /. NJ. Terrell, superintendent OF
the railway mail service. The question
OF how the strike is interfering with
the malls must then have been discussed.
Inspector Sutton has had his men in
vestigating the situation with regard to
the delay of mails and probably acquaint-
ed Mr.. NELL with what facts he has.
Following this no statement was given
out
At 1870 o'clock Thursday morning
Commissioner NELL went Into conference
with z. A. Ball, vice president of the
fremen, and the two discussed the strike
at length.
No recommendation as to how the
strike may be ended was made. however
The situation was simply discussed.
Mr.. Ball says that he has now laid the
position OF his men FULLY before Mr..
Neill. AS he has put it. the fundamental
reason for the strike is the negro ques-
ton. The white firemen wish to be rec
ognized as senior and superior to the ne
gro.
Following his conference with Mr.. Ball
Mr.. Nell went into conference with Mr.
Scott at the Piedmont. No statement OF
the result was made.
Vice President Ball says that the next
move now rests with Manager Scott. He
describes the situation as being like q
checker game.
I'VE have moved" he says. Now it's
up to the other side"
In speaking OF delay to the mail, he
says that the firemen have never caused
any such delay, and they stand ready al
any moment TO man every mail train that
is prepared.
One feature OF the situation is that the
engineers are very anxious to have the
strike ended. Though they have not Joined
with the strikers. they are suffering
equally.
Assistant Chief Burgess offered his ser
vices at the outset as mediator. But they
were declined.
Wednesday proved to be day of many
conferences. The better part Of the
morning was spent by Mr.. Neill and Mr..
Scott behind closed doors. In the after
noon Mr. Nell conferred with Vice Presi-
dent Ball, and, afterward. Mr.. Scott was
in confer ence with Governor Smith. At
torney General Hart, and Judge John s
Gambler. at the governors mansion.
IL was hoped that this last conference
would be productive of results. II had
been said that Il might end in Mr.. Scott
agreeing to appoint a com mittee TO con-
fer with committee from the firemen
At it's conclusion. however, IL was an
nounced that this had not been done.

CANNONOAlE
IS To GET
RELIEF
City Water System Included
in Extension Plans.

There is relief in sight for the
people of the Cannonda1e district
from the tyrannical treatment of
the Arthur d. Jones water system.
The numerous complaints that
have been coming from there, and
The Press exposure of the methods
of the Jones company have found a
sympathetic listener in the person
of Water Commissioners Arvid Reu-
terdahl, who has included plans for
city water for the Cannondale dis
trict in the water extensions re-
Gently authorized by the city coun-
Gil.
With a standpipe erected at Ken
wood and mains connecting with
the region of Cannondale the ques-
ton Of water supply for that sec
ton is solved, and the absolute
sway of the Jones regime at an
end.
1t is proposed to carry up the
chief supply main to Cannodale and
Second addition to Lidgerwood,
either on Perry street or on Martha
street, connecting with the new
force main on Euclid avenue. A
proposition has already been made
to the city by the owners of Vic
toria Park to bear a portion of the
expense and this insures the in
stallation of the lead, which will
form the basis for the supply for
the region.
Owing to the rush Incidental to
the building Of the standpipes and
the reservoir the detailed plans for
the water extensions into the Can
nondale region have not yet been
worked out, but will be in time for
use by the summer of 1910.
In the meantime the citizens of
Cannondale propose to get busy
and see that no stone is left un-
turned In the work of securing bet
ter conditions for the people of that
region in the matter Of water
supply.

After ten days acquaintance
Thompson married Miss Mabel

without notifying the girls parents
of their intentions.
Soon news came to Tampa from
New York that the young wife had
been deserted there by Thompson,
and money was sent her to return

After a thorough investigation Of
both the proposed sites for the new

and Mayor N. s. Pratt this morn
Ing, Il was decided that the council
hold special session this evening
to take action on the matter, and In

mating what the cost would be to
raise the site proposed by CommIs-

that Il will have the same elevation
az the site recommended by Water
Commissioner Reuterdahl to the
board Of public works.
The only thing which most Of the
members of the city council seem
to have against the Kiernan-Law-

property above the site proposed
by Mr.. Teurke, but 1t is stated that

cost much less than the original
price.
