Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 6-One man

injured and more than a dozen ar
rests were made today as a result of
rioting and minor disorders which
marked efforts of the Telling Belle
Vernon Company to deliver milk.

conditions with its 500 striking driv-
ers. The deliveries were made in
the city owned trucks bearing Signs

to admit any more trucks bearing
these banners, Mayor Fitzgerald de-
clared he would try to arrange with

of milk along with their delivery OF
bread. Company officials complained
that the banners on city trucks con-

New Homes in Orleans.
The stockholders and friends of the
Orleans Building Association, Inc,
were invited to visit the new apart
ment house at and Marston avenue
on Saturday afternoon and evening,
and many people awaited themselves
of the opportunity to see this the first
effort of the association. The build
ing is 3Ox4O feet and is divided in the
center from the cellar up, making two
tenements each entirely separate from
the other. Both are identical, except
that the positions of the rooms are
reversed so as to bring all plumbing
in the middle, of the building.
A double chimney extends to the
ment floor. Each part has it's own
cellar. Both have large living rooms,
dining rooms, and kitchens on the
first floor, three sleeping rooms and
bath rooms on the second floor, and
two large sleeping rooms ON the
third floor. All are outside rooms
and extremely well lighted, and a
pleasant view in every direction. The
floors are rift sawed Washington fir
with hard oil natural wood finish. The
standing finish is of the same wood
sawed so as to display the beautiful
grain, and finished in the prevailing
dull mission style, all natural wood
except the living and dining rooms
which are oak stained. All ceilings
are whitened and all walls are paper
ed. An eight-foot piazza extends
across the entire front of the build
ing, and another on the back is 24x6
feet. This is fine opportunity to Sc
cure a desirable village home with an
income, near the schoolhouse and an
ideal place for anyone wishing to let
furnished rooms or take boarders.
Two good homes of nine rooms each.
1t is understood that the associa-
ton would prefer to sell this proper
ty and put the money into more
homes. 1t now has 20 lots which are
available for home builders.
