Partially Rcgains Consciousness and
Physicians see Chance of
Recovery.

Reports at noon today from the
bedside of Henry =. Lamp, who sus-
tanned a fracture at the base Of the
skull yesterday morning when he
was thrown to the pavement at the
corner of Thirteenth. street and Sec
ond avenue, show that there has
been a slight change in his cOndi-
tion for the better. Physicians
stated today that. although he is
not entirely conscious. he at times
seems to be aware Of tho condition
of his surroundings. A change is
expected at any time within the next
Sc hours for better or for worse. Yes
terday the outlook for his recovery
was gloomy, but today. because Of
his change in condition, there is a
possibility that he may ultimately re-
cover from the effects of the acct
dent. a hope in which all who know
him will fervcntly unite.

JOLTY CAR CROSSING
Is TO BE REPLACED
Tri-City Railway Company to Begin
Operations at Twentieth and
Third Monday.

Today preparations were made by
the Tri-City Railway company whereby
the bumpy, jolly crossing at Tween
tieth street and Third avenue, will be
replaced. For many weeks passengers
on the Bridge, Long View, Third and
Fourth avenue lines have been boun-
ced over that particular span of track,
and il was anything but a pleasant
sensation. The crossing will be torn
up Monday. and then the work of set
ting the new track in concrete will be
commenced. 1t will take several days
Cars will be switched around the sec
ton that is torn up. The Long View
cars will vary their runs little. In
stead of following the Long View
track from Nineteenth to Twentieth
streets on Second avenue and then
south on Twentieth street, they will
turn al Nineteenth street and Second
avenue and follow the Elm street car
tracks. and then at Twenty-first
street and Sixth avenue, will resume
their usual route. The Long View
cars are run along the Elm street
I
switch will be minimized. The inn
provement will Inconvenience the peo-
pie for a time, but will be welcome
one. The new crossing is an expensive
piece of steel construction and is eN-
pected to serve for many years to
come.
Now that the track RELAXING opera
tions on Third avenue between Seven
teenth and Twentieth streets are com
pleted, and the layout appears as it
is to be, there are many expressions Of
on the part of business
men along the avenue with what vas
expected TO be an up-to-date piece of
work Instead Of double tracks
the avenue as was promised,
the company has simply converted the
into a switchyard, the
like of which would be difficult TO find
in any other city In other words ii is
a string of switches from Nineteenth
clear through TO Fifteenth and running
into Seventeenth street. There is
switch in Third avenue on either side
Of Nineteenth, one at Seventeenth and
enc at Fifteenth. while in Seventeenth
there is a switch on either side of
Third avenue. The entire job has
much the appearance of a botch and
cheaD makeshift for a double track. To
have done the work properly Third
avenue should have been doubled west
to Fifteenth while Seventeenth and
should have been doubled
south beyond Third. That would
have made something more like a
modern system of street railway
tracks.
The creosote block pavement prom
iscs to be extremely successful, and
will work in nicely with asphalt when
the sides of the avenue are repayed.
but when this Improvement is made
The Tri-City Railway company may ex-
Dect 10 be requested 10 tear out those
switches and substitute real double
tracks in the spaces not already SO
provided

Suit Which They Had Obviously BE.
Ionged to Neither Despite Their
Statements to Contrary.

Richard Connors and Bert O'Neill,
both of whom claim Davenport as
their home. were bound over to the
grand jury this morning by Police
Magistrate c. J. Smith. Their bonds
were fixed at $500 each and as they
were unable to furnish security for
that amount they went TO the coun-
~ jail to await the converting of the
next grand jury, which is very nearly
three months off. They are charged
with larceny.
Officer Dennis Bennett arrested
them yesterday afternoon when he
found them on Second avenue head
ed for saloon where they appar-
emily intended 10 dispose of some
clothing which they were carrying
with them. COnnors had a coat and
vest and O'Neill had a pair of trou-
sers. Bennett suspected that they
had stolen the clothing and when he
questioned them, their evasive an
swers convinced him that his theory
was correct. At the station they
claimed the clothes were their own
property, but it was obvious that the
garments would not fit either of
them.

LABOR HITCH ON
BRIDGES HEALED
Structural Steel Workers Ac-
cept Terms of Stipulation
With Clinton Concern.
WORK WILL NOW PROCEED
Company Promises Preferment in
Erection of Spans, but Makes
No Further Concessions.

A fine point in the prophecies Of
union labor has come up incident
to the letting of the contract by the
city for the construction of three of
the steel spans over Rock river be
tween Sears and Milan. IL arose dur
ing discussion, at a committee of
the whole meeting of the council
last night, of the terms of stipula-
ton that the Clinton Iron & Bridge
works, which has been awarded the
contract, has agreed TO. The Clin-
ton concern submitted the lowest fig
ure and the council recommended
that its bid be accepted, referring to
the finance and bridge committees
the matter of closing the negotia-
tions. Representatives of union la
Dor interceded during the prelim-
inaries and requested that the COM
pany, which conducts an open"
shop, be requested to employ union
men on the Rock river bridge work.
Mayor G. w. McCaskrin summoned
representa- of the company
here, and a stipulation was drafted
and signed. In this the same course
was followed as with the Central
Union Telephone company when its
franchise was renewed recently. AS
is known, a municipality, in law,
cannot hold a corporation to union
labor clause made part of an ordi-
nance grant or contract. The
agreement reached with the Clinton
company is in effect that it will en-
ploy union labor in the erection of
the bridges, but il will make no fur
Their promises.
WHERE THE RUB COMES.
At the conference of last evening
the business agent of the Structural
Steel Workers union was called in.
He said his union would be satisfied
so long as it's members did not have
TO work alongside men not affiliated
with their trades organization.
The sticking point seems to be" he
said, that the company agrees 10 en-
ploy union men in erecting the new
steel. but insists on the right TO en-
ploy whatsoever ii chooses on the work
of dismantling the old structures. II
II could be so arranged that The old
bridges could be torn down completely
before the new work is started. there
would be no objection on our part. bur
the intent is that traffic shall be- con-
tinued during the dismantling and
building process
City Attorney Witter gave il as his
opinion that, while the Clinton COM
pany would probably not hold the city
TO the agreement, il could do so by
law The matter of readvcrtising for
bids and securing a company which /
would agree to all-uniOn labor was /
discussed, but no action along that |
line taken.
