Huguenot, April 30:-Fire Mar
shall James H. Lestrange, of the bor-
ough' of Richmond, will today begin
an investigation as to the cause of
the fire which partly destroyed the
Terra Marine Inn at Huguenot
Beach, Staten Island, yesterday
morning.
1t was at first thought that the
blaze had originated from defective
hue, but it was learned from the
chief inspector of the building de-
partment, who, with several others
of that department was at the place
after the fire was OUT, that the chin
ney, and the fiue In 1t, were of a
special build, and could not have
taken fire that way. 1t Is. now be-
lieved that the blaze was caused by
defective electric light wire insula-
tfon.
Manager Frederick r. Nedham and
George p. Stewart, a bond broker in
New York, one of the Terra Marine
Company, said that they would be-
gin rebuilding the hotel at once. Mr..
Stewart said that a large force of
men would be put to work as soon
as the insurance was adjusted. The
United Contractors Corporation, of
Jersey City, who built the hotel
three years ago and added the new
wing during the past winter, will
probably do the work. The hotel

Few Agreements
Go Into Effect
in This City.
THE SITUATION

Today being the last day OF April
1t Is the day upon which many labor
agreements often expire and tomor-
row Is the date upon which new
agreements frequently go into effect.
According to the labor leaders in
this city times are quite good.
Arthur A. Quinn, vice president of
the International Carpenters Union,
says that conditions are good
throughout the state in the building
line, although they might be little
better in this vicinity. Business
Agent Adolph Koyen, Of the local
Carpenters Union, says that labor
conditions are fair here and that
most union men are at work.
The agreement between the Jour
neymen and boss carpenters expires
today and meetings are being held
now to draw up a new one. 1t is
very probable that slight increase
will be asked for. Committees from
both sides have met at j. G. Done
hue's office and other meetings will
be held there shortly. There is talk
of making an agreement that would
take effect on June /, instead of May
i.
All agreements tho journeymen
masons had with the bosses general
ly expired on May /, but new ones
were passed on April 1. The jour
neylnen on that date secured an In
crease from fifty-five to sixty cents
an hour and in accordance with the
instrument are now being paid week.
ly, instead of every two weeks, as
formerly.
The journeymen electrical work
ers OF this vicinity are negotiating
with the bosses for an increase to
$3.50 day. Most of them are now
receiving SO a day. The bosses are
not inclined to grant so large an in
crease, and hold out for an increase
Of only twenty-five cents day, with
an additional raise of a quarter of
a dollar on May /, 1910. Meetings
between committees from both sides
are held almost nightly. Agreements
are being drawn up occasionally
which do not please both sides. The
bosses decline to grant double time
for overtime after o'clock, as the
union wishes.

PAVE HIGH ST.I
AND AT PARK
Movement Is Favored to
Continue Work from Low
er Smith Street.
COMMITTEE IN SESSION

The question of paving High street
from Smith street to the souLherly
end OF city hall park, will be taken
up for discussion at committee
session OF the Board of Aldermen to-
night. A petition for asphalt block
has been circulated among the prop
erty-owners and nearly every one has
signed It,
AS Smith street, between High and
Water streets, Is to be paved with
asphalt block IN about week, the
'property-owners who have signed the
petition for High street think that 1t
would be an excellent improvement
II the pavement was continued up
High street and around both sides of
the park.
II is likely that the council will
decide to pave the one block on High
street and around the park, and, at
the meeting next Monday night, a
resolution may be introduced. AL
derman-at-Large Voorhees, is In fav-
or Of paving the one block Of High
street with asphalt block and says
that it would be one of the best Inn
provements made In the city this
year. High street from Market to
Smith street is now thoroughtare
for automobiles and the heavy ma
chimes cut up the macadam consid-
erably. Furthermore, Mr.. Voorhees,
says If the block was paved, 1t would
improve the appearance of the city
hall, police station and the park
greatly.
A number of other matters are to
come up for discussion at the COM
mittee session tonight and on Mon
day night resolutions, it is under
stood, will be introduced to pave
every street that petitions have been
received for. The council is anxious
to pave many streets this summer
and even though ordinances are In
troduced now. what work that is not
finished this year can be taken up
without delay next year.
The Public Service Corporation is
repairing and relaying the wooden
blocks between their tracks on
Smith street between State and High

The ministers were in attendance at
the palace, and every preparation had
been made for the event. The physl-

Duke Henry of Mecklenburg in 1901,

an heir to the throne.
The frst child was expected IN June
of 1906, and the demonstration made

which followed a year and half later
when the rumor OF an expected birth
was sent out for the second time.

Trade Schools
Talked Of at
Newark.
HIT ROSTERS

Seven members of the Master
Builders Association, of this city,
attended the twenty-fourth quarterly
convention of the State Master Buils
ders Association at Newark yester-
day afternoon.
The session convened at o'clock
in the Master Carpenters rooms al
AIS Broad street. Many matters Of
cussed at length. Numerous CONS
mittees were appointed, j. G. Done-
hue, one Of the local representatives
being made member OF the legisla<
tive, Tenement House and Industrial
School committees.
One of the main topics under dis
eusslon, for an hour or more, waa
the matter of speculative builders
throughout the state, but more par
ticularly in Bergen and Hudson
counties who spoil the legitimate
business. These spectators come
down from the metropolis and erect
blocks of houses by hiring laborera
at a dollar, or even less, a day to do
the construction work. This deprives
the legitimate builder and journey
man of much work and spoils the
building trade in all its departments.
This kind of work, it was reported
is even being done in thsi city. The
builders declared yesterday, at the
conclusion Of the lengthy discussion,
that the only way to save the boss
and journeymen in this respect is TO
pass state contractors license bill,
licensing all men who do building
work. In that case none would be
issued to incapable builders, and the
trade and public benefit thereby.

Dominican Governments View OF
Uprising on Haitian Frontier.

The government of Santo Domingo does
not regard the troubles on the Haitian
frontier at Dajabon as at all serious. and
is leaving the situation there to be han

stance of a dispatch received from the
Dominican foreign office by Senior Fiallo,

Senior Fiallo expresses the opinion that
the uprising is of no consequence, but is
the work of few Dominican malcontents
under a cloud in his country, who escaped
TO Haiti and crossed the border to raise
q disturbance, only to fly again when
there is danger of apprehension.
