CARPENTERS REFUSE
EMPLOYERS OFFER

CHICAGO, May 19.-When the ap-
preaching summer ends there will still
be 100000 idle men in Chicago. This
was accepted as fact today by both
sides in the war between 10000 strik-
ing union carpenters and their EN-
ployers. On a referendum vote of four
large locals on the acceptance of an
advance of 2h cents an hour offered
by the contractors, only four out of a
total of nearly 5000 carpenters were
in favor of accepting the employers
proposition. The union will hold out
for an advance of five cents an hour,
from 65 to 20 cents. Representatives
of the Carpenter Contractors associa-
ton today declared that they had
made their best offer. and that they
would do nothing further to reach an
agreement with the strikers.

FORD DECLARES PARK

Text of Statement.
His statement follows:

immortality is running riot in the

present system the policing of the
park is far from adequate.
There are some men not in the EN-
ploy of the city who make a practice
of watching in some of the more Sc
cluded parts of the park. They seem
to take pleasure in this and sometimes
boast of the sights they see. If some

There is no disposition to find fault

in the park. An investigation is more
desired by the park force than by
some classes of the public.

FOREIGN AGENTS
DEPLETE SUPPLY
OF GOOD HORSES
German Government Makes
Numerous Purchases of
Draft Animals - Italians
Cease Former Activities.

Matt School, well-knOwn horse
buyer of this city, said today that SC
many Wayne county horses have been
sold to agents of foreign governments
in the last few months that horses
are scarcer now than they have been
for a number of years.
Scholl made the astonishing state
ment that one OF the heaviest buyers
of Wayne county horses was the Ger
man government.
Il do not know how they ship the
horses out of this country but l dc
know for a positive fact that only the
Italian government agents have been
more active than the German agents
in purchasing horses in this country,
Scholl stated.
Supply Grows Scoree.
Scholl stated that there was still a
plentiful supply of horses on Wayne
county farms but added that if the
heavy purchasing by foreign govern
ments continued several months long
er horses would be few and far be
tween.
For some reason I have not been
able to ascertain the Italian govern
ment has practically stopped purchas
ing horses IN lulS county uut HULL
recently the Italians were buying
more of our horses than any other
government" Scholl said. The
French and English agents have also
been active buyers of Wayne county
horses but the Italian and German
agents have been the heaviest pur
chasers Nugent Brothers Of st
Louis, have been taking over most OF
our horses lately but | cannot find out
what government that firm represents
There are now local men acting as
horse purchasing agents for foreign
governments
Purchase Draft Horses.
Scholl stated that at first the for
eign agents confined their purchases
to riding horses for cavalry mounts
but at the present time were purchas
ing mostly rugged draft animals
weighing from 1900 to 1,400 pounds
tor use in transport and artillery
service. The supply OF riding horses
has practically been exhausted.
1t is understood that Gus Taube OF
indianapolis, formerly of Richmond
has realized small fortune from the
commissions he has received from g
foreign government for acting as Its
horse purchasing agent in this state
Most Of the horses purchased ir
Wayne county for foreign service are
shipped from Richmond to either In
