MAY REACH COMPROMISE
Master Masons Committee Will Offer
 Employees 55 Cents An Hour.

Members of the Master Masons as sociation will make an attempt to hold meeting this evening, at which time a settlement with their employees over the recent demands for an in crease in wages from 50 to 57h cents an hour will be offered When the proposition was first received it was flatly turned down by the contractors, but following this the employees asked for a conference and as a result it is reported that the masters have agreed to pay fifty-five cents an hour.
 As the demands of the bod carriers for a wage of $3.2O a day are regarded as exorbltant, no answer has been made by the master masons.s The fathers, who sought an increase fsome time ago and met with a refusal are still at work claiming they are receiv- Ing their price by working as individ uaIs instead of for contractors The contractors do not intend to accede to the demands of the fathers, not so much because of the increase in wages but on account of the clause in the demands which prohibit carpenters from putting on plaster board, etc.

MYSTERY ON MAPLE STREET.
Fcarsome Burlap Bag Contains Empty Bottles and Not a Bomb

This morning Mrs. Jesse B. La tham of 145 Maple street notified the police that a mysterious burlap bag was lying on the sidewalk between 143 and 145 Maple street. As no one seemed to know what was in the bag it remained uninvestigated.
 Officer Fred Wagner was picked as possible martyr and on approach ing the bag he saw that it contained nothing more dangerous than bottles but as they were empty they were perfectly harmless. No bomb was found and the bag now reposes at headquarters awaiting an owner.

New York citys regulations are both
extensive and elaborate for the sup

street vendors or any kind of hawking

public institution. For any hawking
which causes undue noise there is a
fine of s25 imposed. Soliciting of pas

only under certain specific conditions
are musical instruments played on the
streets. The installation of gasoline
engines is forbidden within a certain
distance of residences. No loud or
sharp noises are tolerated between the
hours of pm. and am. The noise
ordinance does not touch the selling
of newspapers. The board of health in
New York. as in Washington, regulates
the keeping of fowls.
