BRICKLAYERS' UNION AGAIN

Two weeks ago we mentioned that
an effort was being made by Pocatello
parties to organize the brick layers
here and that we had asked the repre-
sentative of the union If there wasn't
more need of good brick layers than
there was for higher wages for those
who are open to employment, it be-
ing our understanding that employers
here are handicapped by poor work.
men, and that the rank and file of
those who come to town seeking en-
ployment are incompetent or are adj
dicted to the booze habit so they can
not be relied upon thus making it
hard for the really competent men to
carry on more work than they can
give personal attention to or do them
selves.
1t now develops that contractors
here have received notice that Black
foot is within the jurisdiction of the
union at Pocatello and that unfair"
men are being employed. That this
will have to cease or the union will
take the matter up and act upon it,
and that if they will join the union at
Pocatello and abide by it's rules all
will be we'll.
The way for an unfair" brick or
stone mason to become "fair," Is to.
agree to join the union, to pay
five dollars out of the present weeks
wages as the first installment of his
initiation fee, and to secure the en-
dorsement of two union men who are
working with him or who know his
work. Their endorsement constitutes
passing the examination, and after he
joins his card is proof of his Compel
ency.

THE CITY BUSINESS

After the reading of the minutes
Chairman Younie of the finance COM
mittee reported that they had check
ed up the report of the treasurer and
found it correct.
Mr.. Younie also reported that they
had investigated somewhat upon fin
ancing the purchase of the proposed
park grounds and had met with some
encouragement but they wanted an
other weeks time.
"Homody" Street
The location of the pavements on
University avenue was discussed at
length and it was establish ed five and
half feet from the property line on
the west side of the avenue, this be-
ing necessary in order to save long
line of trees. That on the east side
from the Baptist chuch north was left
in the hands of the committee for
another week, the question to be left
to property holders to express their
preference as to location of walks and
curbs. 1t has been suggested that
the street be made 60 feet wide, and
the pavement laid at slight angle
with the curb to save making a jog
in the street. The people on that
street are invited to consider whether
they want jog or an angle and if
they want a jog to consider whether
it shall be at the Baptist church or
block farther north.
Drainage at Payne's
The low place by Mr. Payne's resi-
dence at the south end of East Main
has been holding waste water from
the irrigation bitches and some drain
age is needed. The matter was left
to be investigated by committee.
Grant Holt and others petitioned for
an arc light to be placed at the cross
ing of Washington and Stout, and it
was referred to the general improve
ment committee.

NELSON NO GENTLEMAN
Prize Fighter Branded by U. S.
 Court as an Undesirable.

Philadelphia. April 8.-Battling Mel son, the former lightweight champion of the world, lost another fight yester- day, when he was knocked out in three minutes by a jury in the United States Circuit Court, which decided against him in his suit for $10,OOO damages against the Bellevue-Stra tford Hotel for refusing him accommodations The trial began yesterday, and it took the jury only 1S0 seconds to find the yer dict for the hotel
 NelSon's manager registered the fighter in the hotel on August last and Nelson spent the night there. When the hotel managers learned who their guest was Nelson was told he would have to vacate his room, as it had been previously engaged and also that the hotel was full.
 Counsel for the hotel, in eXamina- tion, told Nelson that he had persis- tentIy. violated the laws. of some States by fighting, and he replied they were boxing exhibitions. The only real prize fight he was ever engaged in. he said, came off in Nevada, where there was no State law against the sport. Nelson admitted that he had engaged in 100 hard battles
 The hotel managers called wit nesses, letting the case go to the jury on the, testimony of Nelson and his manager.
 Judge Holland. in his charge to the jury, said that if Nelson had violated the laws of any State which prohibit ed prize fighting, then, under the law, he was undesirable as a guest.

POLICE COMPLAIN
 OF FIRE ALARM

Policemen have a kick to register against the new method of ringing alarms of fire on the large bells, es- pecially in the night season. The of ficers are supposed to count the alarm and respond to it, if it is in certain districts Under the new plan one round is sounded and then after wait of two or three minutes another round is sounded. If the wind direction is wrong it is hard to count the alarm, if ik is heard at all. Often the last round will be heard first by an offi cer and he will wait in vain for the second round.
 When in doubt, in the daytime, the police find convenient telephone and enquire of tfCentral' for the number of the fire alarm box At night phones are not so convenient.
 The officers would like to have four rounds sounded on the tower bells, the same as of yore, which could be done without hannpering the fast alarm system now in use in the department.
 At the fire in Jacob Bros. junk shop, Saturday afternoon, it was sometime before a policeman arrived, only one having heard the alarm.
 A large crowd of people gathered directly in front of tl,e building where the fire was located. They were in the way of the fremen and hampered their work.
 Now that Bridgeport has a motor patrol wagon efficient fire policing can readily be done if a few men are load ed into the wagon at police headquar- ters, when an alarm is received, and hustled to the fire.

Especial from United Press.l
 Springfield, Mass, April 8.Bertran Spencer, self confessed slayer of Miss Martha B. Blackstone, and assailant of Miss Harriet Bow and Motornnan Michael Gilhooley, passed a fairly restfuI night in his cell in Murderers Row in Hampden County jail. This morning he appears to be in better condition than at any time since his arrest.
 The wholesale confessions to the crimes seem to have eased his mind He gave his guards no trouble during g the night The police have nothing further to offer in connection with his case at present.
 The inquest on the death of Miss Blackstone will be held early in the coming week, if Miss Harriet Dow is able to attend the proceedings. She is so far recovered from her bullet wounds that it is expected she will shortly leave the hospital

BURGLAR HELD AS FUGITIVE
 FROM JUSTICE

Positively identified as the burglar who fled from arrest in Mt Vernon whGn his Pal was in the grasp of Pn Clark, arrested in his room at B Mid dle street, yesterday, was today held on a warrant issued by Judge Foster when he will be arraigned in court and again remanded, charged with being a fugitive from justice.
 C1ark's brother, who was arrested under the name of George Shelton, promised to leave Bridgeport last night after he had been put through a long course of questioning at police headquarters. Superintendent Birm- ingham is satisfied that Shelton had committed no burglaries in this city. He was arrested with Clark, yesterday,
 Clark strongly denies the charge against him, protesting there is a mis- take in identity. The issuance of the bench warrant by Judge Foster re suited from Attorney F B. Fallon, counsel for Clark, entering an objec- -tion to the usual form of having him held on the word of the prosecuting attorney. So Judge Foster heard Pa trelman Clancy testify that Clark was wanted in Mt Vernon, N. Y. and was the man who had been implicated in the burglary When Clancy stated that requisition proceedings would be instituted at once, the judge issued warrant
 Clark was not taken to jail but held in a cell at police headquarters. He will probably be committed to jail tomorrow morning, pending the com pletion5 of the reQuisition proceedings, having refused to accompany the of f1cer to New York state without the preliminary proceedings to which un- der the law he is entitled. Clark and 'tCute' Mitchell. alias Mulyey, were once members of the Lemon gang that was driven out of this city. Mitchell was caught burglarizing house in Mt. Vernon with an accom- plice, and Clark is alleged to be the man with Mitchell. Mitchell is now

It is primarily of importance that men of this calibre be shown that they are serving for purpose, that their hours of drill and days of summer exercise are leading somewhere.
