Gardner did not purchase the property
for himself but acts as agent for the
Blue Lodge and Royal Arch Masons
who have purchased the controlling
interest jointly
In the course of time the buildin
will be completely renovated from top
to bottom, and concrete walks leid.
The building is one of the most sub
stantial buildings in the city and has
adobe walls, the adobes of which were
partly made with cement and are
very hard as was evidenced when the
contractor put in the door for the
exit in the hall a couple of years ago
The buildings was erected by Al
Schieffelin in 1882 and not by Ed
Schiefelin as many have had an idea

RAPID PROGRESS Being
MADE ON HIGHWAY
Prisoners at Work Over Divide
Are Making a Very Good
Showing.

The work of the convicts on the
road toward Tombstone on the state
highway across the divide is being
rushed and rapid Roadway being made.
During the past week another lot of
prisoners las been received from the
penitentiary at Florence and there are
now close to a hundred prisoners at
work During the past week about
mile of new road has been opened
up to travel and several ba' grades
and short turns avoided, as well as
considerable rough road cut out Dur
Ing the next few days another half
mile will be finished so that it can be
opened up and the road taken out Of
the canyon which is very rough at the
present time.
Then for some time there will be
no new road opened up, as the new
road bears off TO the right, going down
the canyon and around two small hills
and into the rock bluffs opposite the
ranch of A. r. Prather It viii take
some time to complete this work and
the new road cannot be used until
after it is completed beyond the
Crane place at which point a long
concrete bridge is TO be built The
air drills are at work in the rock
bluffs and large blasts have already
made good showings The road will
be some twenty TO thirty feet higher
up out of the canyon along the bluffs.
The men in charge are greatly
pleased with the work that has al
ready been accomplished, much more
Roadway being made than was at first
/ expected.

like these the entire drove would be

the cost; and its interest IN the in
,dustrial war is the same as that of
union labor It is a class interest.
Labor has shown itself strong
enough to defeat candidates who
were unfair Now let it be strong
enough to elect candidates who can
be depended upon to be fair, or even
to give labor a shade the best Of it.
That's what the other fellows do.
Labor needn't be in any hurry to
rally around the banner Of either of
the candidates. There's nothing IN
blind partisanship for labor-that is,
there is nothing but political and
wage slavery.
Labor CAN get together and CAN
vote together. Whether it WILL or
not is quite a different matter.
If the members Of every labor
union in Chicago could take of their
party coats and hang them up in the
ante-room before entering a union
meeting, and could then get together
and consider the coming election as
WORKINGMEN ONLY, and consider
THEIR individual and family inter
ests as bread winners, instead of
some politicians ambition to hold Of
fee, they might carry the coming
election and elect THEIR mayor of
Chicago.

The wagon had begun to move: they
would be gone in another moment. Charley
was still looking over his shoulder wistfully
up at our house, turning his head farther and
farther SO as to prolong the picture. Des-
perately, and, when had done it, astounded
at my boldness, waved my hand after him.
The next moment the horses had stopped,
and had leaped from the gatepost, ready
to run if the men were angry.

My nerve departing, stopped. The men

climbing down from the wagon.
"See what he's talkin' about" their leader
told him, and Ben came up to the fence.

the bulletin it was a toss-up with them
whether they should declare dividend ornot.
I UCK, as in my experience with Leather,

thing, defined BY Webster as "that which
happens to person. is quite as likely to
defeat our best laid plans In one case OF
vast importance that l had to report |
thought had safeguarded against anything
like an error, or even delay, and nothing but
the most unbelievable kind of bad luck could
have beaten us.
In the late COS the coal situation was the
most important factor of the American in
dustrial world, occupying the attention of
the Street almost to the exclusion of every
thing else. At that time there were constant
clashes between the operators and the opera
tives, the mine owners and the mine workers.
In some cases the owners were, so to speak,
private concerns, while in others they were
great carrier railroads or their subordinate
companies.
Such men as the late President Baer of the
Reading and Mr. Thomas of the Erie
loomed big on the one side, and John Mitch
ell, who seemed to hold the destinies of the
working man in the hollow of his hand,
loomed big on the other. These three men
conspicuousy occupied the limelight.. Even
the suggestion of meeting or conference
was sure to bring to the Jersey Central
Building at the foot of Liberty street an
meetings that the large morning papers
would send as many as four men each to
cover them. They were held in great
room round a corner at the end of a long
narrow hall. At times there were as many
as sixty men crowded into that narrow hall
on a sitting afternoon in August, waiting,
breathless, for the turning of the knob on the
door of the big room, which was the signal
for the grand scramble.
The meeting to which refer was the most
important of the whole series. Some forty
coal and labor magnates would be there. 1t
was to begin at twelve O'Clock, and MIR.
Mitchell told me it would be over in about
an hour, as everything was cut and dried,
and that it would be more matter of con-
frmation of the work Of the committees than
of discussion.
Our editor sent K and myself to cover
that meeting. He also gave us young man
who was great Splinter, whom we were to
use as messenger. saw Mr.. Mitchell at the
Ashland House. He told me that it had
been agreed that no advance information
was to be given to the press, but that a type
written statement of the proceedings would
be handed out directly the meeting closed.
1t was arranged that K, who was an expert
at summarizing news, was to hang close to

and expert men, as | had good reason to
know from previous experience. And they
were as close to the door as we were. Be it
understood each news bureau had ticker
service, and it was not a matter of one beat
ing the other by day or an hour, but by
minutes or a minute, SO keen was the rivalry
The evening paper men were also keen to
beat one another.
At exactly two o'clock the key turned in
the lock, and every man braced himself.
Then the door opened and John Mitchell
appeared with a great bundle of legal-cap
pages in his hand, typewriter and single
spaced. l thrust my hand out and got two
copies, and saw K get one. Then with all
crowd, and, without stopping to take an
elevator rushed down six or seven flights of
stairs, and handed a copy to my sprinter.
He dashed off like mad toward Broadway.

and not much OF a Sprlnter; so it must have
taken me at least ten minutes to reach the
office. However, knew that I'd got my
copies and that K had got his before our
rivals could grab them.
When 1 reached the office, painting, all was
uproar and confusion. The air was blue
with presidential and editorial vociferations.
"Where is K?"-"Wherei is the boy?"-"Why
hasn't K 'phoned?" they shot at me. The
substance of the report had already come
out on the rival ticker. The editor grabbed
my copy and quickly sent the gist of it over
the tape. We were beaten by only about
five minutes In few minutes the sprinter
hmped into the Office. He'd been knocked
down by truck in dash across Broadway,
and could barely drag himself along.
@But K? Where's K?" shouted the editor.
This was what happened to K:
K grabbed his copy from Mr.. Mitchell's
hand and after desperate struggle succeed
ed in reaching the office where he had re-
served the telephone. He was exceedingly
nervous, and had much trouble in getting
Central. Then he lost more time in getting
the bureau, which made him more nervous
still Then when he did get the bureau he
called for the editor The editor put his ear
to the phone. "Yes, yes, give me the story!'
he said.

from Mitchell, held it up, and discovered
that it was blank probably the only blank

RELEASE OF AMERICAN
HELD IN ENGLAND SOUGHT
Samuel Schwartz Said to Have Been
in Prison Four Months With
No Charge Against Him.

An appeal has been made to the State
Department in behalf Of Samuel
Schwartz of New York, an American
citizen. who is said to have been held
in prison in England for more than
four months with no charge against
him other than that he is held for de-
portation."
According to the account given the
department officials. Schwartz, who Is
also known as Simon Stearn and who
is of Hungarian birth, was arrested in
a London hotel about year ago,
charged with being an alien enemy
who had failed to properly register. He
was tried on the charge and was sen :
fenced to six months in prison. Just
before his term had expired. he was
informed by the warden of the prison
that he would not be released. but that
he would be transferred to another
prison and held pending deportation.
The State Department was informed
last June that the British government
had decided to deport Schwartz. Quite
recently his wife, in New York, sought
information and was informed that he
was still being held.
