CONFERENCE HELD
WITH Mr.. FINLEY
Southern Firemen Decide to
Postpone Strike.

Although the controversy between the
Southern Railroad and its firemen has
reached a critical stage. 1t is doubtful
if a strike results. The executive COM
mittee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen yesterday re-
quested a conference with President Fin
ley. The request was granted, and a
conference was held in his Office in the
afternoon.
President Finley after the conference
refused to make a detailed statement,
but said both sides were satisfied with
the results of the conference, and that
steps had been taken toward a settle
ment. Another conference, will be held
to-day or tomorrow, and 1t is expected
the difficulties will be settled then.
Vice President Teat, of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen and Engin-
men. said no strike would be ordered
until after the fullest opportunity had
been given the company for an adjust
ment.

Word was received last night by the
Washington police from New York tina:
Mrs. Barney Coughlin will come to this
city to take charge Of the body of her
husband, Barney Coughlin. who was kill
ed by falling nine stories at the Wood
ward Building, now in course of con-
struction at Fifteenth and H streets

The fall of Coughlin was caused by the
slipping of a plank. and as he plungeu
downward. striking iron girders and
beams, he hit board on the fifth floor
on which A. B. Gait. a steel inspector.
of 1872 California street northwest, was
standing. and caused him to fall to the
basement. Both men were picked up un
conscious and taken to Emergency Hos
pitaL Coughlin died an hour later. and
Gait was able to be taken to his home
after his injuries were dressed. The
physicians said Coughlin's skull was frac-
tured at the base. and a rib. thigh. and
wrist were broken. Galt's scalp was cut
and his left leg broken. His escape from

Mr. Hacker, which requires temporary
flooring to be placed between any two

this law is strictly enforced. Coughlin's

the District Commissioners to show cause
why the erection of the stable should not
cease and the residents and property
owners of the neighborhood be given an
opportunity to present their side OF the
case to the Commissioners. They COM
plain that the hearing which was grant
ed was a perfunctory one and that, with
out going into the case, the Commission
ers decided that, as the property had

construction would be carried out.
At the last meeting of the executive
committee Of the East Washington Citi-
zens Association, Thomas w. Smith pre-
siding and D. NJ. Hildreth secretary, reso-
lutions Were passed protesting against
the action of the Commissioners on the
ground that the location of the stables
would depreciate the value of property,
would injure the health and comfort OF
the residents and would prevent the
square from becoming the site Of the new
Eastern High School. Another protest
signed by ia citizens has also been pre-
sented to the Commissioners.
One Of the points that will be made by
the opposition is that the sum of sl2S,-
