TROUBLE OVER WORK.
 POLICE ARE CALLED
Attorney George Levitt Has Some Difficulties at His New Block
 On Main Street.

Trouble between Attorney George new block at the corner of Main and Elm streets, and the structural steel workers this morning was amicably settled only after the police had been to the contractor in charge of the steel workers.
 According to Mir. Levitt, the steel workers have made a mistake in setting up the steel posts and beams and one beam and post is three inches out of alignment. As limestone is to be placed on the beams it is necessary that the joints be accurate and Mr. Levitt called the workers attention to it yesterday. They are said to have agreed to remedy the fault this morning, but before they did so they put up another beam. Once more MT. Levitt claims to have expostuIated and the men said they would do the work mediately. When he returned some time later he found that the work had not been done and the steel workers were continuing to put up other beams.
 MT. Levitt at once ordered the men to stop further work and make the necessary repairs. They refused to heed him and Jeeringly told him they were not working for him, it is said. Seeing that they were not going to obey MT. Levitt called in Officers Wagner and O'Mara and ordered them to arrest any of the steel wok- CTS who entered his building, saying he had discharged them and would prefer trespass charges against them.
 Later the matter was settled peace ably.

 WILL BE REELECTED
No Contests Known of at COnVa-
 ton in Boston

Boston, July 19.-The Ancient Or der of Hibernians took up at the first business session of the fiftieth biennial convention today, a number of questions of peculiar interest tQ~ the organization. All sessions how ever, are executive. Joseph McLaugh- lin of Philadelphia, the national pres- ident, submitted a report in which he reviewed the work of the last two years and outlined plans for future development. The Ladies Auxiliary met today with Mrs. Ellen Ryan Jolly of PaWtucket, R. l., presiding. Aside. chief interest was in a contest for the presidency between Mrs. Jolly and Mrs. Mary F. McWhorter of Chi cago. The former has been presi- dent for two terms, which is the limit under the rules of the auxiliary, al- though her friends have endeaVored to amend this provision so that she may be eligible for another term.
 There is no contest over the elee7. tion of officers of the Hibernians and it generally was understood that President Mclaughlin and his asso- ciates would be reelected by un- animous vote, following custom of long standing.
 An excursion to Nahant and ban- quet tonight were part of the days program.

 MT. McRoberts made a careful study of conditions in Rssia.
 u "The war; he said, has awak- ened Russia beyond all conception and that country now offers a won derful opportunity to American cap- ita1 and business enterprises.
