Omahan Interested in Americas Oldest House

Edward l.. Sayre of iSz3 Maple street,
has received word OF the recent destrue-
ton Of the old homestead of his ances-
tors in SOUTHAMPTON. Long Island. n Y.
This ancient house was built on the site
where II stood until torn down BY
Thomas Sayre. in ls4s. Everything in the
way OF material. except the glass, used
in the building Of the house was made in
the village of Southampton, even the
nails being made by the town black
smith of those ancient days.
Thomas Sayre was an English geIt
man, who came to America in the time
of Cromwell. Settling first At Lynn,
Mass, he remained there eight years;
then. with seven other pioneers, he mi
grated to Long Island to establish a
colony under patent from the earl of
Stirling. After spending q few years at
the first place of settlement, they moved
to the present site Of Southampton, and
there. In ls4s, Thomas Sayre erected the
house which has just been wrecked,
Shingles an inch thick covered the front
of the house and the side facing the
street. 1t is set out In old documents
that in those days all houses were built
facing the south. and thus very often a
gable end was turned TO the street.
During the revolutionary war the old
house was used by British officers, but
was owned by succeeding members Of the
Sayre family for "a years. Latterly II
had been abandoned as q residence and
was used by an Italian fruit Sender to
store his wares. 1t was long a point of
historic interest to antiquarians, and at
one time an effort was made to have II
preserved because of its great age and

Sunderland Resigns
to Prove Devotion

The principal business of the next meet
ing of the Citizens union will be to re-
ceive and act upon the resignation OF
Ralph L. Sunderland from membership in

given by MIR. Sunderland for this start
ling step is that he wants to shield that
organization from any embarrassment or
discredit that might grow out Of his ac-
tive connection with Its management,
prejudIcing public opinion, which might
ascribe Interior motives. As given out by
the publicity committee, the resignation is
lengthy and goes into detailed explana-
ton. but the deed is done in this par
agraph:
Therefore. in order that current false
charges against the union on my account
may fall to the ground, and in order that
the organization may stand before the

ests, hereby resign as a member Of the
executive committee. and from all active
part In the work Of the Citizens union.

Washington, Mar. 2.-Representa-
i've Wilson of Pennsylvania before
the mouse committee on rules today
stated that the action of the Massa-

moval of children from Lawrence re-
Gently was the beginning of a pass
port system in the United States.
Mr.. Wilson argued that the federai
government had the power to inter
fere when the power of the state was
being used against citizens.
The delegation of strikers and
children from Lawrence attracted a
great deal of attention. Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, was present, as was
also John Golden, the president of
the textile workers union.
Representative Berger of Wiscon-
sin, socialist, explained his reasons
for asking for a federal investiga-
ton. What my bill proposes to in
yestigate now is the relations of the
American Wooden Mill Company to
the strike of its operatives at Law
renee. The American Wooden COM
pany has for years been the recipient
of government subsidy in the form
OF high tariff. 1t has claimed that
this is levied to protect labor | in
stst that this claim is generally con-
coded and that these operatives are
among the lowest paid of those in
any industry in America"

NO POOL, SAY
PLUMBERS
IN REPLY
President Mckenzie of Association
Makes Emphatic Denial Of Charg-
es of Former Head Of Alleged
Trust.-Issues a Detailed
Answer to Affidavit.

Making denial, specific and gen.
eral, to all the charges preferred by
B. c. Christian against the plumbers
of Grand Junction. J. E. Mckenzie,
speaking for the Master Plumbers
association of this city. of which he
is president, today issued a statement
which is given in full below.
Late yesterday afternoon Mr..
Christian filed an affidavit in the
district court making a series of
charges that the local plumbers as
ISOLATION was combination in re-
straint of trade, an organization
which overcharged the people of the
city for work and that it was fore
ing him out of business. The affi-
davit was reply to a request for
temporary injunction asked by Abe
Goodman against Christian. Good
man purchased Christians business
last month and alleges that the lat
ter agreed to quit plumbing in this
city. He also alleges that Christian
has again commenced work and that
he is financially injured as result.
Goodman has also instituted suit in
the district court covering the same
ground. but also asked temporary
injunction. This has not been
granted.
The following is the statement
made by Mr.. Mckenzie in refutation
of the Christian affidavit:
I'm reply to the enormous amount
of free advertising given the plumb
ing business in a local publication |
will say that the Master Plumbers
association which takes in every
state in the Union, is open at all
times to any master plumber.
The organization is one of the
most important, perhaps. in the
United States The health of the
country depends in great measure
on the advancement and intelligence
of this association. | am convinced
that one of the vital problems of to-
day is sanitation and ventilation.
IF the man who is performing
the labor. who is supplying the ma
terial, keeping the accounts, extend
ing the credit and furnishing the
capital in the performance of this
important work is not properly COM
pensated. somebody will have to suf-
fer Either the work is going to be
poorly done, with serious results in

pointed out, held that the corpora

but on the privilege of doing bust

ing on salary is Just as much

Senator Smoot. the Utah member
of the senate finance committee which
will deal with the bill, declared that
there was no possibility of the meas
ure passing the senate. 81 do not
believe he said, that any republic
