STRIKE SETTLED;
 MEN BACK MONDAY
NO FURTHER CONTENTION IS EXPECTED TO HINDER THE
 BUILDING WORK IN CITY.
Men Could Have Returned to Work
 Yesterday, But Because Of Today
 Being Holiday Wait Until Monday.

Except for the fact that today is holiday, and they would have not been able to accomplish much by re- turning immediately, the 1,500 union men of Hot Springs affected by the recent strike could have been back at their posts by noon yesterday.
 The strike, growing out of de mand the plumbers had made for a written contract with the master plumbers, has been settled, and amc- ably so. Arbitration as arranged by unions effected the compromise. The following were the representatives who made thei report yesterday to the trades council, the adoption of which settled the stri
 Plumbers: II. Stren and V. D. | Fowler
 Carpenters: F. L Hensley, E. T. Schwab and J. w. Phillips.
 Painters: A. c. Newton, c. H. iones and D. A. Ruffin.
 Bricklayers; Lee A. Crumley, c. c. Cothern and B. R. Tracey.
 Plasterers: J. Gibson and MT. Cook
 Hoisting Engineers: II. Dean, George w. Brown and J. H. Johnson.
 Electricians: A. C. Ketzschen, w. R. Bradford and S. Jones.
 The result of the conference with the master plumbers is given in a statement issued by State Labor Commissioner McMahon, who said:
 "A tentative agreement has been reached whereby an adjustment of the strike has been secured. All union men, with the exception of some of the plumbers, returned to work immediately. Saturday being a holiday, the men decided to wait until Monday to resume their duties. There are four plumbing shops in Hot Springs that declined to sign a written agreement recognizing the plumbers union, but they did verb ally agree to give union men the preference, and all the shops agreed to a minimum wage scale of $4,50 a day. The former minimum scale was $4 Many of the plumbers were paid more than that, however. their com pensatlon depending on the work mems ability Now, however the rate of s4.5O has been agreed to by all the shops.
 "One pleasant feature with this strike was the total absence of any bitter personalities, and there seemed to be a decided disposition on the part of all men concerned to get together for the best interests of the city,
 Then men will all he back at their jobs Monday morning, and the build ing in Hot Springs will continue. There were several big contracts that would have been effected by the strike. these for the most part being the court house, the high school the finishing of the Thompson block and Sigier apartments, and the new For dyce baths, which is to be one of the finest bath houses in the world, and had just been well started.

COL. ROOSEVELT'S
SPEECH.

| The address that Colonel ROoSe-
welt made in Pittsburgh last night,
in the interest of Clifford Pinchot's s
candidacy for Senator, must have
cleared away good many of the
misgivings that some people have
been entertaining, as to the political
part the former President is going
to play this year.
Colonel Roosevelt suggested no
"get together" program except that
of accepting the platform of the Pro-
gressive party. He invited Repub-
licans. and Democrats as well, to
come in; but he didn't suggest any
compromise incident to their coming.
He stood by the policy which he and
other Progressive leaders laid down
in the very beginnings of that party:
the demand that the Republican
party cannot expect support so long
as it is the party of the big and lit
tie bosses, the big and little agents
of the interests.
Very manifestly, Colone! Roosevelt
calculates that this year 1914 will
have to he given to completing the
determination, of the Republican
bosses. He is getting ready to spe-
cialize on Penrose and Barnes, boss
es of the two biggest and politically
most important States in the Union.
If the years campaigning shall result
in the defeat of Penrose, it will mean
a new regime in Pennsylvania; if
Barnes can be driven from the New
York leadership, the same will be
true of the Empire State. That
much being accomplished in these
two States. there is every reason to
expect that substantial reunion of
the Progressives and the Progress
sive majority in the Republican
party will be possible by 1916. Per-
haps it will necessitate the making
of two nominations; perhaps both
parties will stick to their organiza-
ton and simply name the same can
That is immaterial. The
important detail is the consolidation
of the voting forces that are pre-
pared to act in agreement; and this
will not be difficult, if the few re-
manning "big bosses" within the Re-
publican party can be cleaned out
this year.

Find Internal" Machine
In Old Masonic Temple

Capt. Charles Peck. and police of the
First precinct are wondering today
whether an anonymous letter, telling OF
plot to blow up old Masonic Temple
Ninth and F streets northwest, was
intended as a joke or was written by
a crank.
Several fraternal organizations NEE,
In the building and last evening one
OF them was having an initiation. In
another hall the Democratic Fair Play
Association was meeting to protest
against nonresident being appointed
recorder of deeds.
Captain Peck, Detectives Simpson and
Howes and several patrolmen went 20
the temple, and much to their surprise,
found in the main hallway a small box
containing an electric contrivance,
which looked like an Internal machine,
However. the mystery of the box was
soon solved when officers OF the frater-
nal organization explained that the box
had been used as part of the initiation
program. From an explosive stand
point. 1t was as harmless as a cake of

WEST VIRGINIA DRY.

West Virginia at midnight last
night entered upon its new policy as
70 prohibition community. The "dry''
amendment to the State constitution
carried last year, after a long cam
raign, by 4 majority of over 10000,
which is said to be the greatest pro-
Portionate majority ever given to
such a measure in any State. 1t pro-
hibits both the manufacture and the
traffic in liquors within the State.
West Virginia is the ninth State
ir the Union to go dry on the COM
rlete and Statewide basis. But to
say that nine out of forty-eight
States have adopted absolute prohibi-
Iion-as absolute, anyhow, as State
law and constitution can make it
ines not even suggest the extent to
which the dry movement has spread.
IN a large share of the remaining
thirty-nine States, great areas are
dry, and the dry regions are on the
whole pretty steadily extending.
Nobody has satisfactorily ex-
planned why. in view of the expand
ing prohibition areas, the average
per capita consumption of liquors in
creases; but it does. Apparently,
there are more moderate drinkers
and very much fewer drunkards
'han ever before.

OVENS Do
COOKING ON TEXAS
Coal Ranges Are Abandoned Al.
together on Navy's Newest
Dreadnought.

The L. S. S. Texas, the most recently
constructed dreadnought of the United
states Navy, is the first battleship on
which coal-fired ranges have been re-
placed entirely by the electric type. The
equipment consists of ten ranges in the
general mess gallery. five in the offi-
GERS gallery, and two bakers ovens.
The immense extent of the cooking
operations on board this ship is realized
only after considering the quantity of
food prepared and the number of men
served. The crew consists of 800 men,
and the officers number about seventy.
The officers meals are more elaborate
than those served the crew. Coffee, tea,
boiled meats. and vegetables for the
general mess are prepared in steam
Jacketed caldrons and therefore do not
require the operation of the electric
ranges. In the officers gallery, where
less food is prepared, electricity is used
exclusively for cooking and even boiling.
About $500 pounds of bread are re-
qulred a week. not including that con-
sumed in the officers quarters Other
foods have TO be prepared in like guam
titles. A single meal requires as high
as 600 pounds OF meat, 175 gallons OF
coffee. and 40 gallons of soup.
Sufficient cooking apparatus has been
Installed so that under ordinary condi-
tons 1t Is necessary to operate only
four-ffths of the ovens at time. b.
eaving one-fifth of the ovens idle each
week 1t is believed that the heating
units will last a longer time.
The temperature of the hot plates can
be raised from normal to a WORKING
value in about twenty minutes by con-
Meeting the high heat" unit for five
minutes at the start and using only the
main current thereafter. BY operating
the high heat units In the ovens in a
similar manner the temperature can be
brought up to the proper value in from
twenty-five TO thirty minutes Only
about six minutes are required to start
the broiler.

The first trial was made with the
planning surfaces as they were when we
carried ten passengers. We took on
something more than 600 pounds of
gasolene. 933 pounds of men. and 200
pounds Of sand. The results were not
satisfactory, so we brought the America
back to dock and planned another ex-
tension Of the planning boards. After a
conference among Mr.. Curtiss. Lieu
