,tEHIGGH VALLEY BUILDS
FIREPROOF STATION

The Lehigh Valley and the Lacka-
wanna railroads will henceforth fol
low the policy of making their sta
tions completely fireproof
Three unburnable stations have
already been built by the lLehigh
Valley-at Honeyoye Falls, Freeville
and Interlaken, New York 1.-THE ma
terial was terra Gotta in the form of
hollow Blocks like that used for pro-
tecting New York City's "skyscrap-
ers." In the process of manufacture
the terra Gotta went through heat
of 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, and
tests have shown that it is strong
enough to bear any load imposed
upon 1t.
The Lackawanna's first terra Gotta
station Is at Towaco, New Jersey.
The hollow blocks are used for walls,
floors and partitions, just as in the
three Lehigh Valley buildings.
All the new-style stations-those
of both companies-haye the exter-
ior surface covered with stucco. On
the inside plaster is applied, in the
same manner, directly to the blocks.
Thus, when q freprOof station is
completed, there is no visible sign of
the terra Gotta which Is the one
structural material. -

TROUBLE OVER
THE LAB0RERS
Non Union Men Cause Gen.
eral Strike at New Wolff
Bldg. Yesterday.
is FINALLY SETTLED

About twenty men employed on
the new D. Wolff building, at Madi-
son avenue and Smith street, stopped
work yesterday because, it is alleged.
the contractors brought non-union
men into town to work on the struc-
ture. The Rizzolo Contracting Com
pany, of Newark, are the general con-
tractors. They hold a good rating
with unions, being recognized as a
union firm.
1t was charged by the business
agent of the local Building Laborers
& Hod Carriers Union that nom
union men were put to work and for
that reason all union laborers were
pulled off the Job. The strike lasted
until late in the afternoon, when the
differences were settled and work re-
sumed. AS the strike affected other
mechanics on the structure, almost
the entire force of workmen were
idle while the laborers were ayenging
their grievances
1t Is alleged the contractors had
previously attempted to place Ital-
ians from out of town at work upon
this building. These men, it is claim
ed, were non-union and in each event
the union workmen kept them off the
job, thus maintaining strictly
union job until yesterday. The dis
pute will probably definitely settle
labor difficulties on the building, for
1t is believed by the workmen now
on the job that it will continue to be

POLITICS THIS YEAR

Labor forces in this city have resol-

and consequently, Adam Eckert viii mob

for them to lose or gain.

HOSPITAL BID.
HEARS LADIES
Committee from Auxiliary
Get Little Satisfaction
About Nurses Home.
LEAVE THE MEETING

To ascertain what course the
Board of Managers and the Govern
ing Board of the city hospital intend
to pursue relative to the erection of
the proposed nurses home, COM
mittee from the Ladies' Auxiliary
attended the meeting of the Board
The ladies raised enough money to
purchase the ground for the home,
and they think the board has neg
lected to take up the erection of a
building.
One of the ladies who attended
the meeting yesterday feels that
their reception by the managers was
cold and abrupt. She said she had
lost all interest in the home and
did not care whether it was ever
erected. She said she hadn't
worked and didn't intend to work
for the hospital to see one man run
1t, and she added that she believed
If the home was erected he would
control that also.
The ladies, Mrs. Scott Hall, Mrs.
James S. Wight and Mrs. G. w.
Sheath, asked the board its inten-
tion concerning the erection of the
proposed nurses home. They told
the board that South r. Harrington,
president of the Board of Govern
ors, had made them a promise to
raise $4,000 for the erection of the
building by subscription, and they
added that he claimed he could get
the money at any time.
The Managing Board expressed
considerable surprise at Mr.. Far
rington's promise. Following the
statement of the ladies, there was
a long pause and the board proceed
ed to pass on some bills. Thinking
nothing more was to be done, the
ladies departed After they had
gone Mr.. Haney moved that Mr..
Harrington be requested to attend
the next meeting of the board and
explain how he proposed to obtain
the $4,000 necessary for the erec-
tion of the home.
Another one of the ladies said
this morning that she did not feel
aggrieyed at the reception they got
yesterday, as she understood Mfr.
Harrington was detained In his store
and could not be present.
Little business other than the ap-
proval of several hospital bills was
transacted by the board yesterday.
They were all approved save one,
which was held up for investigation.
The claim was for barrel of sugar.
Secretary Jones has not as yet re-
ceived a reply from DR.. J. G. VIII
son, president of the medical staff,
in answer to communication sent
him some time ago relative to the
proposed addition of two members
to the staff. 1t will in all probabil-
ity be read at the next meeting of
the board.
The meeting yesterday afternoon
was held at city hall Present were
George J. Haney, Henry w. Jones,
Edward l.. Gridley, Samuel G. Gar
retson and William d. Voorhees,.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

epecfdt TO the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Oct. 14:-The grand

day, two of which, it is said, are against
Henry B. Cook, a local lawyer, who
transacts much of his business in Perth
Amboy One of the charges was for
obtaining money under false pretenses
and the other for embezzlement. 1t is
alleged Cook gave mortgage to Mrs

to be owned by Greek named Constan-
tinegis. 1t appears that she learned la
ter the property was not owned by the
Greek named, and she sought to re-
cover her 5000. Friends of Cook IS, 1t
is said, aided him and returned some
of the money. Mrs. Church later told
Cook that if the balance was not forth
coming she would bring the matter to
the attention Of the grand jury.
1t is claimed Cook has good defense.
He wanted to appear before the grand
jury and explain his side of the case,
but that was not permitted, as one side
only is heard.
"Sallie," implicated In the Roose-
velt murder case, In which it is charged
a man was pushed from stoop and
killed, was recalled before the grand
jury today, new evidence having been
learned by the detectives.
