ployment to masons, carpenters and

Next Sunday there will be a big
meeting of all the unionists of Have
lock, at which time there will be some
good talks and a general union "love
feast" The non-unionists have all
been invited to the meeting as the
guests of the union men, and an ef-
fort will be made to interest them in
the labor movement. Frank NJ. Cof-

There is trouble brewing between
the Bricklayers and Masons and the
Operative Plasterers. Not here in
Lincoln, but internationally. Presi-
dent Bowen of the Bricklayers and
Masons insist that President Donlin
of the Operative Plasterers is not do
ing the square thing and living up to
the agreement.
The Minneapolis workhouse some
time ago went into the brickmaking
industry, using the city prisoners.
Over two million bricks are now on
hand, and the city can not sell them.
Union teamsters refuse to haul them,
contractors refuse to buy them, and
union bricklayers wouldn't touch one
of them with a forty-foot pole. Local
brick manufacturers protested with
out avail against using convict labor
in the making of brick, but when they
asked the union men to help they

GENTLEMAN PROWLER
 IN YOUR YARD MAY
 BE FORESTRY EXPERT

New Haven, July 15.-If you find a gentleman or party of gentlemen in rather rough attire making a raid upon your yard and casting longing glanceS at the bushes and trees about the yard, just at the present time, don't jump too quickly at the conclu- sion that they are lawless invaders. It may be the six United States gov ernment foresters who are detailed to investigate and study minutely and in every discOverable detail the pla- que known as the gypsy moth, which has struck southern New England and which the government is anxious to stamp out. These men are in the habit of following wherever the line of their work directs them and they have perfect right to enter the yards under their government orders, and in the work of their mission. The men are working here under the direc- tion of Professor Britton, head of the agricultural experiment station, fication detailing his right to enter yards the letter having the signature of Professor Britton. If you wish to question any one in the yard ask him for the letter and if he is forester he will show you his letter at once. Otherwise he is an invader without rights.
 The forestry party here consists of B. A. Dennis of Boston, who is chief of the party; William J. Donilon, J. J. Gill, Harry Horovitz, J. J. CaShman, and J. c. Huntington all of Provi- dence They will be here, working throughout the state, for about three months.

SI0O,0OO,O00 PLAN FOR MUNICIPAL
 DOCK RAILWAY

New York, July 15.-Dock Commis- sioner Tomkins has completed the outline of his plan for the establish ment of a $100,000,000 municipal joint railway freight terminal on the Mort h River in Manhattan, and has submit ted it to Mayor Gaynor. The plan is an elaborate one, involving the con- struction of an elevated line along the westside water front, eliminating the New York Central surface tracks, and connecting large terminal build ings to be erected on the blocks bounded by Thirty-eighth and For tieth street, Eleventh and Twelfth avenues, and Twenty-f1fth and Thir- tieth streets, Tenth and Twelfth ave- nues, and double-deck freight yard on the blocks bounded by West Hous- ton and Spring streets, Washington and West Streets.
 These buildings are planned to be twelve stories in height, and with the yard, are to be connected with the piers by branches from the elevated line. All the railroads which come into New York are to have joint use of the terminals under an arrange ment which the Commissioner out lines.
 The magnitude of the project does not disconcert the Commissioner in the least. He declares that the city the new law exempting self-sustain- ing dock bonds from computation in the debt limit. He also has evolved novel plan for the further financing of the undertaking, calling for the or ganization of terminal company by the city, in which the participating railroads shall be stockholders.

WHITE ACTS AS MAYOR BEHIND
 PRISON BARS

Lawrence. Mass. July 15-With the executive chamber of this city cell in the House of Correction, William P. White. who was sentenced Wednes- day to three years in prison and to pay fine of s1,00O for alleged conspiracy to bribe. continues to discharge his official duties as Mayor of Lawrence from behind the bars. He showed he intended to continue as Mayor by ap- pointing a License Commission yester- day afternoon. He said his attorneys would immediately file exceptions and would fight his case through the high est courts in the country
 His three political allies. ex-Alder- man Matthew Burns. George Smart, a t1nsmith, and Samuel Kress, a, carriage smith, who were convicted and sen- tenced with the Mayor on the charges of conspiracy to bribe certain Alder men in an attempt to remove Fire Chief James A. Hamilton. are also confined in the House of Correction.
 The Board of Aldermen has adopted an order requesting the City Solicitor to render an opinion defining the du- ties of the President of the Board of Aldermen and the status of the Mayor in the unfortunate" situation which has developed and to say upon whom the duties of Mayor devolve.
 Boston, July 1.-The question of whether the conviction of Mayor White of Lawrence automatically vacates his office has been submitted to Attorney General Malone. Under the State Con- stitution the Governor has no power to remove or suspend Mayor, and attorneys who have been consulted by the city officials of Lawrence differ as to whether Mayor Whites offense comes under the class which .disquali- fies man from holding public office.
 It was decided. therefore. to submit the question to the Attorney General for his opinion.

It has been stated by military and naval experts that aeroplanes would be useless in time of war for other than observation purposes. for the req son that bombs could not be dropped with sufficient precision On Tues day. Glen Curtiss dropped oranges from height of 300 feet within three feet of the deck of a yacht. thus prov Ing that battleships could be destroyed with bombs dropped from airships He was within rifle range less than a half minute, an insufficient time for accur- acy of aim. He also dropped oranges within the limits of a fertilization marked out on the beach,
 With such points demonstrated, it is evident that the days of battleships and Qualifications are approaching an end. That this probability is recog- nized, is shown by the fact that Ger many has been for some time en- gagged in devising artillery for use in the destruction of airships. and claims 70 have invented a gun capable Of such quick and accurate aim as would destroy airships before they could reach the proper position and altitude for the dropping of bombs with precis- ion.

COST OF THE UPKEEP OF AUTOS.

Rumors of an insufficient supply of gasoline. with a consequent advance ir price to 25 cents. prompted the Motor World to secure an interciew with J. J. C. Clarke of the Standard Oil Go. He said:
 am inclined to believe that the sup ply hardly will be equal to the enor- nous demand It certainly will not exceed it to any great extent. Un- doubtedly the increased demand will have an influence in raising the price However, the rise will be only a small one, perhaps as much as cents gal lon. but it certainly will not reach the extravagant figures of A or 25 cents The heavy demand will not have any influence upon the quality of gasoline manufactured. There hardly can be any question of substitution. At pres ent alcohol is not fit to take the place of gasoline. but this company would be only too glad to see alcohol pro- duced in large quantities for industrial usage It would simplify the gasoline problem considerably. as it would be- come a kind of supplementary fuel, if the gasoline supply should fall below the demand.
 The supply. quality and price of gas- tcmobilists. Some time ago it was announced that the best quality would only be supplied in cities. and that tourists might be compelled. when re- plenishing their tanks ill inland towns. to accept an inferior quality, but so far as noted. no trouble has resulted. The increased and increasing demand will advance prices. for the Standard Oil Co.,, which is much the largest producer. is not likely to let an oppor- tunity for increased profits slip by. But even with the price increased. as MT. Clarke predicts. by two cents a gallon, the cost of gasoline to the average automobilist will not be the greatest item of his upkeep account, and it will probably not check the in- creasing use of autos.
 The cost of tires is the big item. and with1caw rubber very high and threat ening to go still higher. autoists are anxiously looking for the invention or discovery of some substitute for the rubber tires. Inventors have been, and still are. looking for it, but thus far without success. There is. how ever, a chance Of such an increase in rubber production. through cultivation or the opening of new fields. as will reduce the cost of the raw product.
