AUNDRY
MEN OF THE HOUR.
Attorney John It. Edwards, who has
Just been selected for the important po
sition of supervisor of the census of
Lackawanna, Monroe nnd Pike coun
ties, is In his twenty-seventh year and
has been a member of the Lackawanna
bar for four years. Ho Is a son of
Judge II. M. Edwards nnd has Inherit
ed tho Intellectual qualities that made
his father one of the foremost members
of the local bar and marked him ns an
available Judicial candidate years be
fore he was elevated to tho position of
additional law Judge of Lackawanna
county.
Mr. Edwards will undoubtedly make
a line record ns supervisor of the cen
sus. Ho is palnstnking and thorough
in all be undertakes and these are
qualities that are especially destrablo
In a census supervisor. They are tho
qualities, coupled with a natural apti
tude for the law, which have placed
Mr. Edwards In the foremost tank of
the younger bar of tho county. He will
nt once begin to make the preliminary
arrangements for tho taking of tho
census of the three counties ho has as
signed to him. It is a task of no small
proportion1!.
A remarkable man Is Louis Schautz,
the superintendent of mails In the
postofficp. Though a voting man
he Is one of tho local veterans In 1'noln
Sam's service who, by his attention to
duty has risen stop by step from ono
of the humblest positions in tho post
office. Today ho can distribute and
stamp letters with any of the office ex
perts, although it is some Unto since
he was engaged In that branch of
work. When Mr. Schuuts was at the
stamping desk nil that work had to bo
done by hand but now that Is changed
and an electric stamping machine re
lieves tho postolllce clerk of a largi'
amount of very fatiguing labor.
Mr. Schauta has a wonderful mem
ory and he frequently astonishes seek
ers after Information at the postolllce.
by telling them off band the exact
route a letter will follow to some dis
tant point which leaves Hcrnnton at a
given hour. When ono stops to con
sider tho magnitude of tho mall ser
vice this Is a more extraordinary feat
than It would at first thought seem to
be. ns letters are sent by many dif
ferent routes to the same pluce. Tho
government does not believe in hold
ing letters for short routes. Mail Is rent
out as soon as possible after being re
ceived, sometimes over a circuitous
route, If by doing so time can bo saved
In delivering tho letter at Its destina
tion. Captain Ambroso Hlgglns, a former
residence of Plttston and Wilkes.
Iiarre, has resigned from the Volun
teer Signal corps of the army and
has resumed his law pracltco In Phil
adelphia. Captain Hlgglns, whose
home Is now In Qermantown, entered
!
If
co 1
the signal corps at the outbreak of
the war with Spain and was placed In
chargo of n company composed mainly
of men from Pennsylvania. The com
pany was stntlonrd for a tlmo nt
WnshlnRton barracks. Later Captain
HIrrIiis was made chief signal officer
at Montnuk Point on the staff of Gen
eral Young and continued In that ca
pacity on the staffs of General Wheeler
and General Shafter.
Ho Installed the telephone and tele
graph system at Camp Wlkoff and
served In a confidential capacity. It
was on his proposition that an electrlo
light plant was constructed at Mon
tauk and ho superintended the Insta'I
ntlon. Subsequently ho was sent to
Iluntsvlllc, whero he again served on
the staff of General Wheeler.
Ho has since been serving In Cuba,
whero ho gained much praise from his
senior officers for the development of
the telephone system on the Island.
He acted as chief signal officer on the
staffs of Generals Lee, Wllllston, Da
vis and Hrooke. His resignation was
sincerely regretted by General Greeley,
the chief signal officer of the army,
who was anxious to send Captain Hlg
glns to the Philippines. In the reor
ganization of the signal corps In June
Captain Hlgglns was made a llrst lieu
tenant In that branch. A brother of
Captain Hlgglns, James A. Hlgglns,
was enlisted ns a sergeant In tho corps
and by his diligence nnd nblllty was
commissioned n second lieutenant. Ho
was mustered out In May and resumed
his studies In law at tho University
of Pennsylvania.

PLUMBERS HAVE
NOT MADE DEMAND
WHAT THE MASTER. PLUMBERS
THINK ABOUT IT.
Met Yesterday Afternoon and Decid
ed to Parley No Longer with Their
Striking Employes Ouo Member
Delegated to Visit tho Larger
Cities and Secure Workmen Theso
Will Be Brought Hero nnd Olvon
Employment Contractor Stlpp
Says Ills Men Were Intimidated.
The plumbers had not, up to last
night, presented any formal demand for
an eight-hour day to their former em
ployers, but such an action will take
placo soon.
One of the most prominent members
of tho Master Plumbers' association
made an extended statement yesterday
afternoon to a Tribune man regarding
the position which has been nnd which
will be taken by the members of that
organization. Ho stated that the plumb
ers were not Justified In going out on
sympathy In tho first plat'e, and that
their present demand f- an eight-hour
day would not be considered for a
moment.
Ho said that tho plumbers had been
promised by their various employers
before tho existing difficulty began that
If the other branches of the Building
Trades' council were granted the eight
hour day that they would bo granted
It, too. Ho characterized the eight
hour demand as absurd, anyway, be
cause he said that tho average time
worked by a Journeyman plumber was
only a little bver seven hours a day
the year round. He admitted that there
were exceptions to this rule under ex
traordinary conditions, but maintained
positively that the peculiar exigencies
of the trade made a less than an eight
hour day an unalterable condition.
MADE LITTLE EFFORT.
He said that the master plumbers
had not up to the present time mnde
a determined effort, to secure labor
from outside sources, because they
were given to understand that the
Journeymen were not firm in the sym
pathetic stand they hnd taken with
the strikers.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon tho
master plumbers met formally and de
cided to parley no longer with their
striking employes. Ono of their num
ber was delegated to visit the larger
cities from which applications have
come for employment nnd examine per
sonally the men who have made the
applications. The best of these men
will be engaged and sent on here to
take the strikers' places. They will bo
given permanent employment.
A master plumber said last night:
"We do not propose to make any
further effort to conciliate our em
ployes. They told us they were anx
ious to come back, that they would
take advantage of the first opportun
ity that would permit them to do so
consistently.
"That opportunity presented Itself
when the carpenters raised the tie-up
as far as It nffected contractors against
whom there were no grievances. The
plumbers had no grievances against us
and could have come back without vio
lating any of their union rules or doing
any Injustice to their fellow-strikers.
Instead of this, they proceed to work
up a grievance and thereby set aslda
the opportunity they alleged they wcro
laying for. This, coming on top of
personal requests that came to every
shop asking that tho master plumbers
hold off for a short time In their in
tended importation of men, has com
pletely exhausted the patience of the
master plumbers.
WORK MUST BE DONE.
"I, for ono, will not stand for this
sort of thing any longer. I have work
on band that must be done nnd I pro
pose to do it. There is a limit to leni
ency and In my case that limit has
been reached. I will have my shop
manned with good men In a very few
days."
Six more contractors signed the
Building Trades' council agreement
yesterday. Contractor Apostollco. who
signed the agreement, has se
cured the contract for building
tho now St. Mark's Lutheran
church nt the corner of Washburn
and Fourteenth streets. Contractor
Frank Carluccl was out of town yes
terday nnd is not expected homo till
tonight, so that his decision In regard
to tho signing of tho agreement will
probably not bo made known until to
morrow. Contractor Peter Stlpp called upon
Sheriff Pryor yesterday to see If somo
steps could not be taken to prevent tho
almost forceful Intimidation of the
stone masons employed on the new
Speedway hotel which Mr. Stlpp
claims Is being done by members of
tho Stone Masons' union. Tho sheriff
informed Mr. Stlpp that he could not
Interfere until a breach of the peace
was committed. Mr. Stipp said that
his men were threatened Saturday.
Contractor Conrad Schroeder yester
day exhibited to n Tribune reporter a
$3,300 check, representing tho first pay
ment on the bolt and nut works con
tract. "That doesn't look much like a
tie-up," he said, as he folded up the
slip of paper and tucked It in a fat
wallet. "I have one building ready for
the roof, another almost ready and a
third that will bo ready by Saturday.
They will all be completed within tho
tlmo specified in tho contract."

BOTH HELD IN BAIL.
Hnmmcs' Assailants Will Have to
Answer nt Court.
John Evans nnd Qretano Prospcro,
who wcro arrested Saturday on a
chnrge of having assaulted J. P.
Hammes, tho well known labor leader,
wcro given a hearing before Alderman
Lentes, of tho Eleventh ward, yester
day afternoon. Assault nnd battery
and threatening to kill were tho of
fenses the accused were asked to an
swer. Hnmmcs tcsttiled that ho was In nt
tendanco nt a meeting of tho Stone
Cutter's union at Cnssesse's hnll Sat
urday ufternoon nnd after the business
of the meeting was concluded all re
paired to tho hotel below, whore somo
of tho members showed a dlsllko to
the manner In which the business of
tho meeting wns conducted nnd made
their disapproval public by clamoring
for a special meeting.
Evans, who Is a foreman In tho cm
ploy of Frank Carluccl, wns to be pre
siding officer of the spectal meeting.
Hammes stnted that ho remarked that
those who were desirous of holding
a special meeting were In favor of re
turning to work: thnt they had scabbed
before and thnt they were willing to
scab again. Evans, who heard the
remarks censured Hammes for what
he had said and by way of making It
forcible hit him In the chest. Hammes
went to the wall.
At this point Prospero arose and
delivered several blows on Hammes'
head, with threats to kill him If he
repeated the remarks. Hammes was
corroborated In his testimony by sev
eral witnesses.
Both of tho accused men were held
In $300 ball on the first charge, Pros
pero being held under $200 on the
charge of threatening to kill. Frank
Carluccl qualified as bondsman for
both.
GOING TO WASHINGTON.
Strikers Propose to Make an Effort
to Have the Carluccl Stone
Cutting Brought Back
to This City.
A committee of two, consisting of J.
F. Hammes and another member of
the Stonecutters' union, leave the city
this morning for Washington, D. C, to
confer with the secretary of the treas
ury nnd tho supervising architect or
the treasury department in regard to
the stone work on the new Immigrant
station on Ellis Island, New York har
bor. Frank Carluccl, of this city, has the
contract for supplying tho stone for tho
building, and just after the general tie
up was declared. It will be remembered
that he tendered his resignation to the
Builders' Exchange, thinking that the
stonecutters would go back to work.
This they refused to do, and, as previ
ously noted In The Tribune, Mr. Car
luccl sub-let the contract and the
stone-cutting has since been done In
Fort Wayne, Ind.
Now that the Building Trades' coun
cil of this city has opened work on
fair Jobs, and as Mr. Carluccl Is no
longer a member of the Exchange nnd
subject to no further monetary losse3
from that source, the stonecutters think
that the work should be done in this
city. The committee appointed will en
deavor to get the treasury officials In
Washington to use their influence upon
Mr. Carluccl to have the work brought
back to this city. The Trades' council
In Fort Wayne has already been ap
pealed to, but they have, up to tho
present time, paid little heed to tho
appeals sent them.
Mr. Carluccl was not In town last
night, so that his views of the case
could not be learned. The committee
will also confer with the national offi
cers of their organization and will get
them to use their Inlluence also in tho
case. Tho result of the committee's
labors will be watched with much In
terest. EIGHTH WARD CONTEST.

al Superintendent Russoll, who has had
the schedule presented by the train
men and conductors under considera
tion for the past two weeks, gave it

Tho mileage allowance per hour or

hardly a question, though, but that It
will be amicably adjusted.

In tho case of the conductors and train
