NO HORATIUS HOLDS
CALVERT ST. BRIDGE
Steady Stream of Pedestrians Not
Interfered with by
Police.

Dispute the. fact that an afternoon
paper insists on warning pedestrians that
they are liable to arrest II they cross
the Calvert street bridge, and that Mai.
Sylvester says the Commissioners order
will be rigidly enforced. there was a
steady stream of persons crossing yes
terday. From noon until twilight sew
eral thousand persons crossed the bridge,
and at several times during the after
noon there were at least 100 on the
bridge at one time
The policeman on duty at the bridge
was bothered greatly by persons asking
the privilege" Of crossing, and to the
surprise Of many said he could not keep
them of the bridge II they desired TO
cross. No orders had been received from
Mai Sylvester to keep persons of the
bridge. The only order issued was that
prohibiting heavy traffic.
The people who used the bridge yes
terday used the roadway, as the side
walks were closed. The police on duty
at the bridge denied that they had or
ders to warn pedestrians that they were
crossing the bridge at their own risk.

FIND WHO'S WHO"
In CITY CHURCHES
Religious Census of Men and Boys
Begins with President
Taft.

Two thousand men and boys were en-
gagged throughout Washington yesterday
in taking a religious census, and it was
declared by those in charge OF the work
that at least 5000 men and boys are
church members. The canvass of the
city was made to ascertain Just how
many men and boys were nonchurch
members, and was sanctioned by churches
of all denominations.
The proposition that a thorough in
Vestigation of the Districts religious
standing be made was introduced by the
Men and Religion Forward Movement,
and met with hearty approval by Catho-
lies and Protestants alike.
NonchurCh members will be sought at
their homes during this week and asked
10 join a Christian church in their dis
tTict and where il is impossible to locate
them a special effort will be made to
induce them to join in the movement at
a later date. 1t was the purpose of the
canvasseTs to get the names of every
man and boy in Washington yesterday,
but owing TO the magnitude of the task,
this was found to be impossible.
The first person visited in the city was
President Taft who declared himself an
active church member and affiliated with
the congregation OF the All Souls Unita-
rian Church. The house-to-house canvass
began Immediately after the visit to the
White House.

MINERS ARE DETERMINED.
Workers Say Strike VIII
Follow Rejection of Demands.

New York. Feb. 25-A conference OF
delegates representing anthracite miners
Of the Pennsylvania fields will be held
to-morro- at the Hotel Victoria, pre-
paratory to the meeting Tuesday Of the
United Mine Workers and coal operators.
At to-morrow's meeting the union leaders
will prepare finally the arguments they
viii present in support OF their demands
for more pay, shorter hours, and other
betterments Of conditions. They de-
ciared to-day that they are determined
to have these demands granted.
The labor leaders would not say
positively-at least for publication-that
a strike would follow the refusal OF the
coal barons to accede to the mems
wishes. But they intimated II very
freely. The business world has heard for
several days that the big operators are
Just as determined on their side, and will
not grant the demands. They will offer
very few concessions, II any. It Is re-
ported, even II they are assured that
q strike will follow such action.

STILL TRY TO HALT
MINERS WALKOUT
English Authorities Making Des-
perate Efforts to Avert Ma
tional Catastrophe.

London, Feb. S.-With the government
cropping desperately for means to avert
an overwhelming national catastrophe;
with the coal owners Of Great Britain
obdurate in their stand against the min
ers and their demand for a minimum
wage scale, and the million or more men
involved encouraged by the news Of
trouble among the anthracite miners of
Pennsylvania, there is practically no
hope anywhere tonight that the walk
out set for next Thursday can be fore
stalled.
Sidney Buxton's coneiliation board win
make strenuous efforts tomorrow to
bring the men and the owners together,
but II Is conceded IN government circles
that there is little likelihood that the
board win be able to effect an adjust
ment. The only ray Of hope discernible
tonight through the tense situation Is
that the board may be able to induce the
men to remain at work for a few lays
after. their notices expire on Thursday.

FEAR NATIVES MAY

Inhabitants of Beirut, Inhamei
Over Bombardment by Italians,
May Cause Trouble.

Beirut. Feb. ga strong anti-Chris-
tian feeling is prevalent here to-day as
an aftermath of the Italian lombard
ment, which wrecked the city and killed
sixty innocent inhabitants. and 1t is
feared on every side that a massacre
| of Christians may result. The native
sentiment against the followers of Christ
has been famed to fever heat by the
declaration of the Turks that the town
was shelled with view to promoting
this action to the end that International
Intervention might bring a speedy ter
mination to the Tripolitan struggle that
is costing Italy millions of dollars.
Casualty, returns tonight state that
two Russian subjects were victims Of
the Italian fire, though II was at first
reported that no Europeans were hurt.
All the American residents are reported
safe. however, and the atmosphere has
been considerably cleared by the an
nouncement that all Italians of every
class would be expelled from Turkey and
that the Dardsnelles would be closed to
shipping.

office to-day published a detailed account
of Turkish and Arab atrocities on the

panied by photographs which show that

fired on Italian ambulances. ..
The State Department expressed a feel
ing Of relief yesterday upon receipt of a
dispatch from Mr.. Smith, the American
consul at Beirut. who stated that no
damage was done to American interests
by the bombsrdment of that city by the
italian forces Saturday. He stated that
shells few over the American hospitals
and fell on the sands beyond. There
was much CONSERVATION among the cit
liens, Americans and natives, and the
excitement was still very great there
yesterday. '--..

The belief in capitalistic circles that
enough coal can be secured from Ameri-
ca to tide the great manufactures over
the crisis was shattered to-day by cable
dispatches from the United States stat
ing that the anthracite miners Of Penn

the operators in New York on Tuesday.
The dire effects OF the strike, II IL
eventuates, cannot be exaggerated. Ger
tainly the cessation Of the coal produc-
tion win paralyze all trade. stop the
exports Of goods, and prevent remit
tances OF capital to countries dependent
upon England. The credit Of the whole
world will be disturbed. II q settlement
is reached it is expected that the Bank
Of England rate will be reduced from
31-2 TO 3 per cent; if the strike takes
place, the rate Is likely to be raised In

pated, and 1t VIII become necessary to

MAYOR AS INTERPRETER.

by Means of Translation.

Philadelphia, Feb. 3.-wheus called
upon yesterday to perform a marriage
ceremony, Mayor Blankenburg found
that neither the bride nor bridegroom
understood English, and that the bride,
a German; could not talk or understand
Italian, and her prospective husband, an
italian. could not understand German.
The mayor made no further inquiry as
to how the pair understood each other
when they decided to marry, but pro-
ceeded to solve the knotty problem by
acting as interpreter for the bride and
calling in an italian TO interpret for the
groom.
The ceremony was accordingly start
ed in German by the mayor and the
bride understood: then the mayor trans
lated the service for the italian inter-
prter into English, when the interpre-
ter repeated 1t in Italian. Then the
Italian interpreter. in English. informed

LAeOR GIVEN LEMON INSTEAD
OF a FULL DINNER PAIL.

Editorially, yesterday, we comment
ed upon the beautiful silence being
maintained by President Taft upon
the subject of the full dinner pail.
incidentally have any OF the republic
ans reminded any of MS OF this same
full dinner pail?' For the past sew
eral years an election has not come
that the republican press and the re-
publican stump speaker had not a
lot to say about the bread line in
the davs of Cleveland's administra-
ton and of CoXey's army. Hereto
fore the press and the stump speaker
alike. of republican faith have ripped
off column after column in a com
parison of the days of labor stagna-
ton when cleveland was president
with the full dinner pail under re-
publican regime. Great hands full OF
feathers have been snatched from the
tail of the long suffering American
eagle and scattered broadcast upon
the four winds of heaven. Enough
hot air has been blown at the long
suffering voter upon this subject to
initiate the largest balloon every man
ufctured. But now never word is
being spoken upon this heretofore
ridden-to-death subject for campaign
oratory and political buncom.
Also We notice that republican ed
itors are painfully silent upon the
strike troubles in the mill districts
OF the east. Why is it they do not
point with pride to the deplorable
conditions as they exist in the center
OF republicanism and tell us that
such things are made possible by the
fostering care Of the G. O. P? Truly
the republican editor can tell the
truth with pride and say that the pro
tective tariff, the high protective Ia
riff as advocated and enforced by his
party, has led TO the present condi.
tion of affairs in the east. No one
will try to steal his thunder when
he tells us OF the factory hands

At the regular meeting on Tues
day after the regular routine busi-
ness had been enacted, including the
allowance and payment of emergen-
cy bills, the deep well proposition
was taken mp. Only one bid had
been submitted This was from the
Carter County Gas Well company
and upon going into details and fig.
ur!ng out each item of cost, it was
found that their bid would approxi-
mate $50 per each foot of depth of
the proposed well. Inasmuch as this
price was considered eXtur,ionate
and for the further reason that the
bidder had not considered the re-
puiremcntS of the advertisement call
ing for bids and accompanied his
bid with a certified check for the
amount specified in said advertise
ment, the board refused to consider
IT, The mayor upon vote of the
board members instructed City Clerk
Bruce to again advertise for bids for
the sinking of this deep well.
Upon taking up the bids on the
pumps. the two lowest bids alone
were considered. all others having
been eliminated further on.
The time occupied in going into
all details of these bids. together
with the specifications for the
pumps, was so great that the board
were forced to adjourn subject to
