j HEBE AND THESE.

TROUBLE STIRRED OP

Conference Between GaryContractors Will Occur This Afternoon. The trouble between the Contractors' association and the Gary carpenters, which has been fomenting of late, is still far from being settled. There will be a conference this afternoon at which members of the Contractors' association will be present and will see if It is possible to reach an agreement with the men. The arbitration board which was to hear the evidence from both sides yesterday afternoon, failed to - accomplish a thing, and the matter is as much in the air as ever. It is understood that six of the contractors have decided to hire nothing but nonunion men, and the labor leaders claim that eight of the unions will Ignore the association and hire union labor. There are a large number of men out and the situation was not very much improved at the last report. It Is said that the trouble started when the contractors, recognizing the fact that some of the men were very valuable, paid them 33 cents an hour. The rest of the men demanded as much and deny the right of the contractors to recognize faithful service by increased pay and declare that the poor men on the job shall receive as much as the men who try to do their work well. EESIGN FROM THE GARY MERCHANT'S CLUB, Uphold Father Jensen In Resolution and Club Refuses to Pam Resolution. John Brennan and Harry Stringfellow, of the big drug firm of Brennan & Stringfellow of Gary, yesterday handed in their resignations to the Merchants' club of Gary. A meeting had been called to consider the by-law which provides for the appointment of a secret committee to investigate charity contributions, the movement having grown out of the recent misunderstanding between Father Jensen of the Catholic church and the association. Brennan made a motion to the effect that Father Jensen's movement was good and worthy of support. The club, however, voted unanimously against the motion, whereupon the firm members, who are Catholics, withdrew. BLUE COATSJfi TRIAL Blood and Romance Are Brought Into Testimony. Two South Chicago policemen were up before the police trial board In Chicago yesterday, in which they wadded into the realms of romance. Patrick Barry, the well-known South Chicago policeman, who lives at 2843 Fifth avenue, and is married, was accused of proposing to Miss Elizabeth Landers of 4061 Wentworth avenue. He was also charged with borrowing money from her and allowing the banns of marriage to be read In St. Cecelia church. Officer Barry admitted borrowing money, but insisted that he never made an offer of marriage or bought a marriage license. Miss Landers explained how she became acquainted with the policeman. James Halickl of the South Chicago station, charged with beating Joseph Gerlack, 55 years old, said that his accuser probably got his black eye by bumping into the screen door of the station. His case was taken under advisement. WOHJUI STOPS BULLET Lays Detaining Hand on Husband's Arm, Who Would Shoot. A man supposed to be a pyromaniac, who had set fire to the home of Mrs. J. Patterson, 527 Sixtieth place, was saved from being shot early this morning by Mrs. Arthur Artist, who. with her husband, live in an adjoining building and who had been awakened by the sound of crashing glass. Artist was standing at a window in the kitchen when he saw the supposed firebug run through the areaway and he was about to fire at him when his wife caught his arm and prevented him from carrying out his intention. A few minutes later flames broke out in different parts of the building and the Woodlawn fire department had to be called to extinguish the flames. When the police of the Woodlawn station heard Artist's story they at once started out on a search of the alleged pyromaniac, but up to the present time they have been unable to find any trace of him. The Philosopher of Folly. "There came a time in my life," admits the Pb-ilosrher of Folly, "when I did not know which way to turn, or what step to take next. A word from my dancing master put me right, however."

Max Hirsch had several articles in the papers over the county in which he denied that his dog had been guilty of such impropertles and denounced the action of Thb Times and other papers in printing stories about the case.
