Newly Paved Thoroughre Will Be Transformed Into Fairy
land Tomorrow Mght-Boy Scouts and Fraternal
Societies Also Will Be on Hand

Seventh street northwest above New
York avenue Is to be transformed to-
morrow night into a veritable fairyland.
With flags and banners flying. with the
newly-psved thoroushfare ablsxe with
light. with grotesauely garbed mas
queraders dancing to the lively music
OF blaring bands, and with thousands
of citizens as tubilant spectators. scenes
are to be staged such as Washington
never before has witnessed.
The celebration. which is the most
unique ever planned in the National
Capital. will commemorate the compile
with asphalt-an improvement for which
have been campaigning for many years.
The cobble stones with their torturing
memories are gone forever and the mer-
chants think that the passing away is
deserving of a requiem high mass.
The Mid-City Citizens Association and
the Seventh street merchants are the
prime movers. but the entire city has
taken a keen interest in the celebration.
and the crowds at the fete will be rep
resentative of every section of the Ma
tional Capital. The merchants have
decorated their stores both inside and
outside. Seventh street has been clean
ed and primmed up for the occasion.
The Boy Scouts have been invited to
attend and to have their fullest quota
OF fun. The Loyal Order CT Moose and
the Odd Fellows also will be on hand, as
well as other fraternities and organiza-
tions. ma gnificent pageant is to march
up and down Seventh street while the

bands play. the masQueraders dance and
the people cheer. There will be floats of
novel design and rare workmanship.
There will be clowns and farmers and
cops and persons too grotesque to class
ify. There will be false faces, queer
costumes. fake whiskers. stick-on mus
taches, powdered wigs, and all the other
things that aid in making UP. For this
is to be made-up crowd Of revelers.

and Capt. Doyle. Of the Second 0ecinct.
will have an extra large force OF police
men and detectives on duty to see that
the revelry is not carried beyond the
bounds of reason.
The parade is to begin at 7:45 O'Clock.
The Boy Scouts and other participants
in the pageant have been requested to
assemble at Seventh and X streets north
west not later than 7:30 O'Clock. SO that
full instructions may be given out.
Joseph a. Berberich. grand marshal. is
receiving numerous entries. and he pre-
diets that the pageant will be one of the
most interesting seen in Washington in
many a day.
A. J. Driscoll. president OF the citizens
association, is enthusiastic over the out
look for an uproarious time. All of the
details have been completed. and the
only thing asked for Is a glorious night
Of cloudless skies.
Four large silver cups-one donated by
each of the four local newspapers-will
be awarded to the persons entering the
most novel floats in the parade and pre-
senting the most grotesque masquerade
appearance.

for a period Of thirty days after an ap-
peal has been made to the Industrial
commission.
Thereafter the commission inestigates
and while it has no power in law to en-
force its decisions 1t has been found In
Canada, whense this law has been de-
rived. that the force of public opinion IL
generally strong enough to cause the dis
putants to abide by the decision Of the
commission.
Finally, there is this provision in the
new plan:
ITO protect against the possibility Of
unjust treatment because Of any action
taken by or to be taken by them on be-
half Of one or more of the company's
employees, any employees representative
believing himself to be Disseminated
against for such a cause shall have the
same right to appeal to officers Of the
company or to the 3pint committee on
Industrial cooperation and conciliation
In his district as Ii accorded every other
employe Of the company. Having aired
this right in the consecutive order indi-
Gated without obtaining satisfaction. for
thirty days thereafter he shall have the
further right Of appeal to the industrial
commission Of the State Of Colorado.
which body shall determine whether or
no discrimination has been shown and as
respects any representative deemed by
the commission to have been unfairly
dealt with, the company shall make such
reparation as the State Of Colorado In
dustrial commission may deem just"
The entire cost Of administering the
plan Ii to be borne by the company.

Washington has ever had.
According to an announcement made
yesterday by Perry P. Patrick. manager

sociation has disposed of more space at

nor do 1 believe that any such fact ex-
lists.
The statement that this department
was induced by any one to obtain these
indictments is of course without the
slightest foundation. The facts on which
the indictments are predicted were de-
veloped in open court and in the pres
ence OF the District attorney, and sew
eral months thereafter were presented to
the grand jury for consideration along
with other matters of like character
and in thd usual manner.
These cases will not be tried in the
columns of the press, but by the duly
constituted legal tribunals and in the
proper way"
Mr.. Flather is now in New England
on business and pleasure trip. He
is expected to return shortly and ar
range for the 5000 bond. which District
Attorney Laskey has exacted for the
three indicted officials of the bank. At
torney Hogan yesterday filed bond for
Charles c. Glover. president. and Will
lam ]. Flather, vice president. of the
bank. Bond was furnished by a surety
company. Many proffers by personal
and business friends to be permitted
to furnish bond for the indicted officials
were rejected with thanks.

a repetition of the offense will be cause
for dismissal.
Employees are given the right to hold
meetings; employees shall not be
obliged to trade at company stores. but
shall be at perfect liberty to purchase

shall have the right to employ their own

head Of the company.
And then here is the plan for adjusting
grievances. First, the men shall submit
their grievances to the mine superintend-
ent through their elected representatives
That method failing to secure relief, the
mkt resource Is to the industrial repre-
sentative of the president Of the COM
pany, whose duty 1t shall be to travel
about. visiting the different mines and
adjusting grievances. while at the same
time making his own investigation of
conditions.
This method falling. the appeal is then
made in regular order by letter or In

manager or president.
Should these methods all fail. then the
difYerence shall be referred to the Joint
committee on Industrial cooperation and
cancellation Of the district and the de-
cision Of the majority OF such Joint COM
mittee shall be binding upon all par
ties
Rut this Is not all. Suppose the Joint
committee fails to agree or to reach a
ma ioriy decision thereupon, the commit

shall be binding. But IL an umpire can
NOT be agreed upon, then a resort to
