M0RR1SSEY DOES AGREE WITH OTHERS Former Head of the Railway Trainmen Opposes Find- ; ing of the Board. (National Newa Association) WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 25. A dissenting opinion was filed today by P. H. Morrissey, forger grand master ofj the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and representative of the engineers on the board of arbitration which has just made public the result of its conference on the demands for increased wages laid before it by 30,000 engineers employed on roads east of Chicago. 'Mr. Morrissey was the only dissenting member of the board, the finding of that body being signed unanimouslyby the five members appointed by the government officials and by Daniel Wlllard, president of the B. & O. R. R. representative of the railroads. 'Mr. Morrissey expresses the belief that the award of the board will have the effect of retarding the prograss of arbitration in the settlement of industrial disputes on the railroads. ' He contends that the award does not settle the important principles raised by the engineers and claims that it is based upon the use of statistics that are not only unreliable for the purposes for which the board used them but that the board also erred in the application of these wage statistics, i For this reason, he says, "while the engineers will faithfully abide by the award during the period that it is to continue, at the same time it can be only temporary because its fundamental basis is bo insecure." Dissents From Others. He dissents from the majority of the board in .their recommendation that wage commissions be established with power of compulsory arbitration although he suggests that there are some important activities to which wage commissions might profitably give their attention. A striking suggestion is made in his recommendation that hereafter arbltsation boards should be so constituted that none of the parties compos

ing them not even representatives of the public should have a majority 6f the members; that the majority should be constituted by representatives of at least two of the parties agreeing. Mr. Morrissey's dissenting report concludes with the statement: . "I wish to emphasize ' my dissent from that recommendation of the board which .in its effect virtually means compulsory arbitration for the railroads and their employes. Regardless cf any probable constitutional prohibitions which might operate against it being adopted, It is wholly Impracticable. The progress toward t,he settlement of disputes between the railways and their employes without recourse to industrial warfare has been marked. There is nothing under present conditions to prevent its continuance. It will never be perfected, but even so it will be immeasurably better than it would be under conditions such as the board propose. The peace that would satisfy such an ideal condition as that had in mind by those making . the recommendation, would be too dearly bought even if it could be attained. To Insure the permanent industrial peace so much desired will require a. broader statesmanship than (hat which would shackle the rights of a large group of our citizens." Mr. Morrissey recognizes the imuportance to the engineers of the effects of such increases in wage rates a.nd the establishing of such uniform rules of service as the board have granted. "There has been," he says, "a gain in essentials and a step forward has been taken in the standardization in engineers' rates and of conditions for the Eastern district."

KEEPING AN ENGAGEMENT. Garrett Made a Mighty Effort to Be on Time Just Once. 1 The late Edmund Garrett, a brilliant journalist and one time assistant editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, was a man whom other men loved. But along with his virtues he had an extensive list of peculiarities, some of which are humorously exploited in a biography by E. T. Cook. : Garrett had no Idea of time, and be used to get Into some trouble at the office of the Gazette for that reason. "This must stop," he said to me, "and matters must be mended." A day or two afterward an invitation came from the proprietor to dinner. Edmund said that at any rate there must be no doubt about this entertainment and his punctual attendance thereat, and a good deal of fuss was made about getting ready for It. Shirts were looked out, white ties and dress clothes were overhauled and all the resources of our establishment brought Into requisition, so that the appearance of the guest should do justice to the host Dinner was at 8, and long before that time Edmund was arrayed In spotless raiment, starting oat in good time to get to dinner. I stayed, reading, In tho fiat After about half an hour I heard, somebody coming up the stairs and I heard to my amazement the latchkey, put Into the lock. The door opened, and in came Edmund, with a face ashy pale. 't Ho took off bis hat and threw it on the floor and said: , f- "Haag it, old man, I've muddled it faln! It .was last Wednesday!" v

GOMPERSJUITE ILL Pneumonia Threatens the Labor Leader. (National News Association) ROCHESTER, N. Y Nov. 25. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, is seriously 111 at a hotel here and Is threatened with pneumonia. President Gompers was scheduled to address the delegates to the buildings trades depart ment convention today, but was unable to appear and bis condition has caused great anxiety. BUTTERMILK. It Is Rich In Protein, the Most Costly of Food Ingredients. An ordinary glass of buttermilk contains about as much nutriment as two ounces of bread, a good sized potato or a half pint of oysters, says a bulletin of the United States department of agriculture. It thus contains about the same food constituents as sklmmllk, but it has an added hygienic value because the protein Is more easily digested than the protein in sklmmllk and therefore is often prescribed by physicians for children and invalids, especially those suffering from Intestinal trouble. Protein, being the most costly of food ingredients, Is the one most likely to be lacking in Inexpensive meals, and this is the nutrient which both skimmilk and buttermilk supply in a cheap and useful form, and when taken with bread or-used in cooking they form a very nutritious addition to the diet. Two and one-half quarts of sklmmllk or buttermilk contain about the same amount of protein as one pound of round steak and cost about one-quarter as much. Two quarts of milk have a greater nutrient value than one quart of oysters. The nutriment in the form of oysters would cost 30 to 50 cents, while the skimmilk or buttermilk would have a value on the farm of from 2 to 4 cents. A QUEER PRESENT. Tho Memento Henry Irving Onct Presented to Helen Keller. In J. Henry Harper's book. "The j House of Harper." he tells a story of i Helen Keller and Henry Irving. They ; met at Laurence Button's house, and the blind girl seemed to be so conversant with "Hamlet" that Irving invited her to "witness" his performance, and , she readily accepted. "After the second act Irving sent word to her that he should like to have her come on the stage if she was so inclined, and when she arrived he showed her around and explained the stage setting. She ran t her hands gently over his costume and seemed to be much pleased with his makeup. "As she was leaving to return to her box Irving thought that be ought to give her some little memento of the occasion. He realized that in his costume as namlet there was nothing he could readily spare, but as it was his custom to put on his eyeglasses as soon as the curtain went down he took them off and handed them to her. "In the middle of the next act n suddenly recalled the fact that Miss Keller was blind, and he told me that it almost broke him up when he thought of the faux pas be had made." Things China Knew Long Ago. There is a distinct tradition of flying machines at a very remote date In China, according to the author of "The Civilization of China," and rough wood' cuts of such cars have been handed down for many centuries. There are even hints of the X ray, there being a record of a physician of the fifth century B. C. who was able to see Into the viscera of his patients, while another physician, who lived about 1.S00 years ago, was accustomed to use an anaesthetic and operated upon the bowels and offered to cure the headaches of a military commander of his day by opening his head. Hypnotism has been used for hundreds of years, but is forbidden by law. The ranks of the Boxers were largely recruited from the society of the vegetarians, who neither eat meat, smoke nor drink. The Office Boy's Windfall. It takes little to encourage a poet. A typographical error, says the Washington Star, fanned the flame of hope in the breasts of the Crestville versifiers. The local editor had written this notice for the head of the editorial page: "Poultry taken in exchange for subscriptions and advertising.' But in the paper the note appeared as "Poetry taken in exchange." However, the only person who profited by this error was the office boy, for the next fortnight he sold to the junkman a quarter's worth of paper from the wastebasket every day. Youth's. Companion.

WEST SIDERS ASK FOR IMPROVEMENTS Complaint Against Condition of Their Streets and Want a Sewer Changed.

The public service committee of the West Side Improvement association appeared before the board of works today relative to the interests of the association. N. C. Heironimus, chairman of the committee, reported that the street car company had not made repairs along the car line from Main street to the car barns, via West Third street, according to the satisfaction of the West Side residents. President Kennepohl said the work had been ordered repaired by General Manager Jeffries of Indianapolis and would soon be completed. The board was asked to investigate the condition of the macadam at the j junction of Fifth street and the National road. The macadam was not laid on the street with a binder and is wearing away. The street has not been accepted yet and will be done to the satisfaction of the city officials. City Engineer Charles reported. Mr. Heironimus reported to the board that a petition was now being circulated for the paving of South West D street from Earlham college campus to South West Second street. The petitioners also ask tor sidewalks. This will be one of the first improvements considered next year, according to President Kennepohl of the board of works. Reading the complaint of the West Side residents that West Fifth street had been torn up by the wagons loaded with gravel on their way to the National road. Mayor Zimmerman said the mistake of his administration was the macadamizing of the street instead of bricking it. Registers a Complaint. Richard Sedgwick then said he did not believe the West Side received the right kind of repairs. "West Main street was not repaired for fifteen years and we even had to pay to have our water pipes laid," said Mr. Sedgwick. Mayor Zimmerman said thie was due to the fact that when the water franchise was given the proper consideration was not given to this matter. For the first time the proposition of remedying the sewer conditions of West Richmond was brought before the board. Mr. Heironimus reported that the condition was unbearable at times especially when the wind was from the east during hot weather. The sewage from West Richmond runs down the river bank on the west side. The committee representing the West Richmond residents suggested that if no other alteration could be made, that the sewage should be run Into the river instead of above it. This would make the odor less disagreeable, and the health conditions would be remedied partly. . .t The city engineer stated that the proposition of lowering the pipes would cost not less than $10,000 and probably more. Mayor Zimmerman ordered the city engineer to investigate conditions and see what could be done to relieve matters. It will be done this year if possible. To Get His Money. The statement of Dr. G. Ferling for services as Inspector at the Holxapfel packing house will be paid from the miscellaneous health fund. The board thought the bill would necessitate the passing of a special appropriation ordinance. During the time as Inspector of the plant Ferling also treated the fire horses free of charge. City Engineer Charles was ordered to investigate the condition of the viaduct of the C. & O. on Washington avenue. It was reported to be unsafe. The city officials are requested to be at the city hall at 7 o'clock tonight from where they will go to the home of the late Michael O'Brien, former president of the sinking fund commission. Street Commissioner Genn stated that it would not be advisable to put cinders on the Doran bridge as ordered by the board. The cinders retain moisture too long and will rot the floor of the bridge, reported Mr. Genn. Complaints have been made to the board that horses fall on the bridge because of its slippery condition. Mr. Genn also reported that It would not be advisable to use the old National road from the river to South West Second street as a dump, as the ditch there would be filled up and sewerage blockaded. The matter of using the river bottom under the Main street bridge for a dump will be taken up by the board.

The kamaoulle koloko, or "bell with the ear torn off," had a most romantic history. In the sixteenth century Prince Dimitri, the rightful heir to the Russian throne, was deposed by a revolt led by Boris Godunoff, who was afterward proclaimed czar. The seat of government was then at TJgllch, and thither Dimitri was sent In order that he might remain under the direct observation of the usurper. Boris, fearing the populace might awake to the justice of the claims of the young prince, planned the assassi nation of Dimitri. He was one day stabbed In a courtyard. None of the bystanders showed any disposition to aid him. A priest, however, from the cathedral belfry saw the crime and Immediately began tolling the great bell, which was held sacred and rung only on unusual occasions, such as a coronation or the death of a czar. Furious at this tacit expression of reproach, the czar commanded that the priest should be tortured and executed and that the bell should be taken down and placed beside the body of Its ringer. This order was fulfilled, and the bell was beaten with clubs by the entire populace, the Czar Boris being at their head. The czar then decreed that the bell should be exiled to Tobolsk and that one of Its hangers be removed to Indicate its disgrace. Harper's Weekly.

BURGLARS RANSACK A HARNESS STORE Birck's Store, Within a Half Block of Police Station, Was Burglarized.

The most daring of any of the recent burglaries in Richmond was committed Saturday night in the harness store of Philip Birck, 509 Main street. Between 11:30 o'clock Saturday night and Sunday morning, within a few feet of the spot where Arthur Saunders was stabbed Sept. 7. the rear window of the harness store was taken out by burglars, and the store raided. The window was removed by faking out the putty and working the window loose and taking out the glass. The window was broken before it was removed. It was done in such a clever manner that the police beueTe a professional burglar did the work. After the thieves had entered the store they walked to the front part and removed two ladies' hand bags from the show cases. They then opened the glass doors leading Into the window and took three razors, a raincoat valued at $10, two dozen pocket knives and two dozen pocket books. The total valuation of the goods taken aomunted to $60. The police believe the burglars had a guard on the outside to warn them of the approach of persons. The rear doors of the Oakland Wine company were hammered and twisted so that the police believe that an entrance was attempted there. The thieves were unsuccessful rn their attempt to enter. Philip Birck. proprietor, said that he would again present a petition for having a light installed in the aHcry. This has been turned down by council, bnt because of the recent stabbing and the beating received by Patrolman Menke last year together with Saturday nighfs burglary. It Is hoped by the merchants that a light will be Installed. The owners of the at area agree to pay for the Installing the lights If the city win maintain them. Black said the alley is no longer inspected by, the police and that it Is unsafe for an officer to pass down the alley. "To my knowledge" said Mr. Birck. "men hare been held up there or knocked down by slugs of which the ponce have' never been aware." .It Is the most dangerous alley In the city and should be taken careof properly." .
