withdraw their agreement with To-
cal tailoring establishment, Its dele
gates to the Essex Trades Council
will be suspended. according to a
decision reached at a meeting of the
council last night This action was
taken as a result of a complaint made
by Abraham StigltZ of local No. 276
of the Garment Workers Union, who
charged that members of the journey
mems local were acting as strike
breakers in a conf ct of the garment
workers.

local had been able to obtain a salts
factory agreement with the owners
of the various shops in which his
members were on strike with the eX-
ception of the Market street concern,
where. he claimed. the journeymen
prevented a settlement. The matter
was finally referred to the grievance
committee after considerable argu-
ment and in executive session the
committee voted to suspend the jour
neymen delegates unless the agree
ment was rescinded.

The gold fever has struck War
rem place and that once quiet little
thoroughfare Is now greatly excited.
Everybody is looking for gold.
1t all happened just because four
workmen in tearing down an ancient
house at "a Warren place ran across
small fortune in gold tucked snugly
away in the walls of the house.
George Dennis found it. He was
prying some of the stones loose when
he struck an old tin box. Curiously
he opened the box and the sight that
met his eyes made him gasp and look
again. Then he called to William
Kelly, another workman.
Bill" he said look in that box
Do you see the same thing l dor
Bill looked and then gave an eX-
olamation of surprise.
Its the regular stuff or I've gone
mad" he cried. And so it was.
Dennis plunged his hand down
among the golden discs and the touch
felt good. Then he counted them.
There were 800 of them, all made by

GOLD CRAZE STRIKES NEIGHBORHOOD
AFTER OLD HOUSE GIVES UP BOX OF IT

Uncle Sam. Three hundred and
twenty gold dollars in an old house
at one time thought to be haunted!
The house is one of the Oldest in
that section of the city and was for
merly occupied by a Mrs. Mary
Pfeifer, who died in 1879 Since that
time it has not been occupied to any
extent and Is now being RACED to give
place to a garage.
None of those living in the neigh
borhood knew Mrs. Pfeifer very we'll
but many of them had heard of her.
She Is said to have been an eccentric
old recluse. The residents there think
there is more gold or money hidden
in the walls and a large number of
curiosity seekers braved the drizzling
rain today watching the workmen
tear down the walls expecting any
minute to see pots of gold unearthed.
The property is owned by William
5. Chardavoyne, proprietor of the
Warren garage at % Warren place.
The money will be turned over to

peal Clause Revives Mo-
torcycle Competitions.

moters of bicycle races in this city
will next year be compelled to pay a

The ordinance, which was pre-
scented by Alderman Louis Pfeiffer. of
the Tenth ward. specifically says that
IN future all motordromes and velo-
dromes shall be under the jurisdiction
of the Common Council. Another sec
ton repeals all measures or parts
thereof that are inconsistent with the
new act. Before finally passing upon
the matter the council will receive
a report from the license committee,
to which body the measure was re-
ferred
The term "motordrome" caused
considerable comment. and it was
held by some that the ordinance pro-
hibiting motorcycle racing in this
city would be repealed by the new
act. Both City Counsel James r. MI
gent and Mr.. Pfeiffer, however, de-
ctared that it would have not the
slightest effect on the motorcycle
ordinance. It was not designed or
intended to allow motorcycle racing.
