Post Office Work Progresses.

Work is progressing rapidly this
week on the federal post office
building. The brick work of the
basement is nearing completion.
An air of business and system per-
vades the work, and it will doubt
less be pushed forward as rapidly
as possible. There are six men en-
gagged in laying brick in the founda-
ton, and on Monday they laid 49,
900 brick, which is a mighty good
average, and shows how fast the
work is progressing. The stone
work will no doubt be slower.

UNION OFFICIALS ORDER WORK
ERs TO SEEK PLACES.
Action is Practically Unconditional
urrender-House Will Treat With
Employees AS individuals.

bitter struggle the garment workers
strike is called off.

was passed out among the strikers
that the walkout was at an end and
that all pickets were withdrawn from
the strikebound shops. The announce.
ment was received without demonstra
lions of any kind, and it was said to
be practically certain that the re-
mainder of the strikers will apply fol-
their old places as individuals.
The effect of calling the strike of
will be that: The strikers must return
to work in the shops of the ''associa
ton" houses as individuals. The oper
shop policy of the employees will be
maintained, and all grievances, If any
will be adjusted by the employers witt
each individual employe.

KINGS HONOR IS CLEARED
Editor Myths, Who Charged British
Ruler With Morganatic Marriage,
Is Sent to Prison.

London.-After brief proceedings a
special jury before Lord Chief JUS
tice Alverstone cleared King George
of imputations against his personal
character by finding Edward F. My

daughter in question, now the wife of
Captain Napier of the British navy,
never had seen his majesty before
1898. when the king called on the wit
ness at Portsmouth. His only other
daughter died in 1895 and for three

MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
DanvIIIe Judge Orders Prosecutor to
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury in Bride Quiz.

Danville, Ill.-Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
cision in the case of City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision of the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t is
said that many indictments have been
voted, but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.
