TWO EXCEPTED
IN MAYORS VETO
Bessemsr and Massillon Brick Stand
Up in Rather Test-0ther Brands
Under Ban.

All the brick bills passed by the
common council last Tuesday night,
except bills for the purchase OF Bes-
semer and Massillon brick, will be
vetoed by Mayor Thompson, Tuesday
night.
There will be no letup In the fight
as far as I am concerned" said the
mayor, Monday. II believe 20 or 21
per cent of abrasion in the rattler
test, Is fair and am trying my best
TO establish II as standard for
brick used In Detroit streets. Mas
sillon and Bessemer are the only
brands that have stood up In the
tests and until the other manufacture
ers send brick that will comply with
that standard shall continue to
veto their bills. The city is going to
get what 1t pays for and what the
manufacturers have agreed to give,
IL I have anything TO say. about II,
and this is simply first-class brick"
Boiler Inspector McCabe. who was
instructed by the council last Tues
day night to make q series OF tests
of paving brick, now has everything
In readiness and will start the rattler
going Tuesday morning. After the
various brands OF brick have been
tried out In the rattler they will be
subjected to other recognized tests
and the results WIN all be reported
back to the council.
AS II the department Of public
works did not have Its hands full
with the brick paving question, a
brick sidewalk tangle came TO Its
attention through the mayors ONCE,
Monday morning. "A. Krieger.of No.
855 st. Antoine-st., who also owns
property on Eliot-st., and Mrs. M. G.
Wilson, No 211 Eliot-st., came In to
protest against the tearing up OF
brick sidewalks they had laid at con-
siderable expense on Eliot-st., about
two years ago. They had supposed
that the walks would remain for many
years to come, but Saturday night,
without warning, a gang OF workmen
from the department OF public works
came along and tore up both walks.
Another gang is now preparing 10
lay cement walks In place OF the
brick.
Mayor Thompson took the matter
up with the inspection department
of the department of public works.
He was told that the walks had been
ordered torn up and rebuilt because
they did not conform to the grade
or the street. The mayor Will prob
ably look into the matter further.

Three Men Arrested
for Theft of Metal
Bars from Box Car

Car and Piled on All the Vehicle
Would Bear.

As the result of their attempt to sell
fragments OF the six bars of metal bull
lion that had been stolen from a boxcar,
three men we're arrested by detectives yes
terday afternoon. The theft of the huge
bars Of metal from a boxcar of the Union
Pacific railroad caused considerable alarm
to officials of the road about month
ago and unusual vigilance has been main
tanned.
Detectives Mitchell and Sullivan and Rail
road Inspectors Tighe and Chestnut eff
fected the arrest OF the three men. The
prisoners had been traced by Tighe and
Chestnut when the former made the rounds
Of several junk dealers attempting to sell
the metal. The prisoners are Pete Thor

Goldborough. The detectives secured Gold
borough at Sixteenth and Locust streets,
where It is believed the trio contrived to
melt the huge bars they had taken.
In effecting the robbery the men are said
to have backed q wagon up to the boxcar
containing the spells and after breaking
into the car loaded the wagon with as
much as It would bear. The six bars of
bullion weighed about 1000 pounds. They
were valued at from 5000 to $500. The bars
consisted of an alloy OF various metals,
including, 1t is said, small amount Of
silver and gold. They had been shipped
10 Omaha from Colorado, to be refined at

concerned and they admit that some Of the
pouches contained currency.
The Yokohama Specie bank has received
no report from several valuable registered
packages, and II Is known that at least
one Of the missing pouches contained mail
matter mailed by the bank. Postal de-
tectives believe that the thefts we're the
result OF the operations OF an organized
gang. the members Of which were familiar
with the movements Of mails out OF this
city.
Each pouch was missed when the mail
matter was checked before being placed
on board mail cars at the Oakland pier
The pouches were in the personal charge
Of mail clerks who stood beside the truck
on which the mail was piled while It wa,
being taken across the bay.
