Son, Awranww L RACE TRACK Transformation Scene Takes Place at Alexander Island. A Novel Shaped Track and New Bu °/*‘fmgs—Racing to Commence Soon —Horses on Hand. A few weeks ago Alexander Island, at the Virginia end of the Long bridge, was a waste of marsh and lowland. Today there Stands upon it one of the most perfectly appointed race tracks in this country. ‘The track in question ts that of the} Grange Camp Association of Northern Vir- ginia, a racing organization composed of the Jones brothers, Thos. Darden and other well-known local racing men. The grounds of the association, comprising a hundred acres or so, begin at a point within a short distance of Jackson City, and run along and back of the river front for a mile or so. ‘The race track is shaped like the figure 6, the oval part being a six-furlong course, while a straightaway shute of five fur- longs forts the stem part of the figure. By such an arranged track races of four and five furlongs can be made straightaway. while in races over six furlongs and not ex- ceeding a mile and three furlongs _ the horses will twice pass the grand stand. The track is as wide, if not wider, than any other in this country, being S80 feet in | width in the stretch and on the turns, while | it is GO feet in width on the back stretch. It is almost perfectly level, the turns are finely thrown up, and the foundation is hard and solid. The soil is a sandy loam. A deep, wide drain runs parallel with the in- per rail the entire length of the shute and oval course, perfectly draining the whole | course. The wisdom of such an arrange- ment is best shown by the fact that, despite the unusuaily heavy rains of the past few days, the track was this morning perfectly dry ‘thoughout its entire length. In fact, Uhe ‘track is not only as safe and as dry as human ingenuity could make it, but it wi also prove to be one of the fastest in Amétiea, especially so in races of from four to tive furlongs. To the great majority of rategoers in these parts these straight- away faces will be as novel as they are in- teresting. i Everything New. Of course, everything on the track is brand new, but every feature about it evi- dences the fact that it is right up to date. The grand stand faces about northeast, and from it the grandest view of Washington and the surrounding country obtainable is had. Looking across the broad Potomac, the eye glances first upon hill-perched St. Elizabeth's, and then, sweeping northward and westward, from the glistening, gilded dome of the Library building to the stately mansion at Arlington, a picture of noble beauty and grandeur is beheld. The stand will seat about 1,000 people, and from it a simply perfect view of the track ts had. It is reached by two great broad flights of steps.In the rear is a prettily furnished ladies’ room, wtih every convenience. Be- neath is the betting ring, bar and lunch countef, and to the front is a conveniently arrafiged telegraph office. The grand stand runs parallel with the track, so that the confusing angle is removed. The judges’ stand, a neat, roomy, glass-in- closed one, is but slightly raised, thereby removing all danger of losing sight of the outside horre or horses. The timers will also find a place in the judges’ stand. A sheltered paddock, 60 by 100 feet, stands just to left of the grand stand, adjoiaing the secretary's office and weighing room. Between them and the paddock is the jockey’s room, containing twenty-one con- veniently arranged lockers. A few hundred feet beyond stands the steam pump house. Besides, a 50,000-gallon tarik is being built, | into which the water will be pumped from @ great well. When completed, water will run from this great tank into every build- ing on the grounds, and also to hydrants beside every stable, while here and there over the grounds will be many water plugs, to be, used in case of fire or for sprinkling the tracks. Long rows of well-built and commodious stables stand in the infield made by the staightaway track, and con- Veniently arranged kitchens are near by. The stables hold 300 horses. They are all occupied, and more will be built. To Start Racing. While here and there about the grounds finishing touches are needed, the course is practically finished, and racing could be commenced today, if necessary. It is ex- pected, however, that the track will be formally opened next Thursday or Saturday afternoon, when five or six races will be run. The day cannot be definitely de- termined until a decision is rendered in the suit for an injunction against the associa- tion, in which the complainant: seeks to re- strain the association from conducting rac- ing. it is understood that the case will be decided in the circuit court at Warrenton, Va., today, and the association is confident that it will be promptly dismissed. There will not be less than five races a day, the | purses being $200. An effort will be made j to secure a license from the National Jeckey Club, the organization which suc- ceeded tne ill-fated board of control. The management wish it understood that im- proper characters will be rigidly excluded from the grounds, and the best of order maintained. Everything possible will be done for the comfort and convenience of the race-going people, and especial accommoda- Uons ,will be made for the ladies. Mr. Gwynne R. Tompkins, the well-known horegeman and newspaper man, will be the racing secretary of the association. Among the stables already on the ground are R. Bradley, with 22 horses; F. Sale, 4; M. J. Daly, 10; 3. W. Street, 8; W. Garthe, le, 4; M. Daly, 7; —. Pheian, ‘ok, 10; J. W. Harmon, 12; W. ch, 8; Retreat Stable, 6; C.D. 'Mc- ; Hall & May, 15; R. Lloyd, 14; F.

A Big Sunday Fire in the Heart of the Business Section in Philadelphia. Fire consumed a half million dollars’ worth of store property yesterday in the heart of the business section of Philadel- phia. The flames were discovered about 12:30 o'clock in the cellar of the store of the Julius Sichel Company, dealers in dry gocds and millinery, 50, 52 and 54 North Sth street. Before the fire department ar- rived the flames had communicated with the upper floors through an elevator shaft. The stock was highly inflammable, and the entire property was gutted. The fire quick- ly spread to the wholesale millinery and straw goods establishment of L. Dannen- jbaum’s Son & Company, ‘adjoining, on Arch street, and their stock and building were’ totally destroyed. The two buildings belonged to the estate of Morris Dannen- baum." ‘The flames were confined to these two buildings, but adjoining stores on Arch and Sth streets suffered loss from fire, smoke‘and water. The origin of the fire is unknown. The losses are as follows: Julfus Sichel Company, millinery, dry goods and notions, $125,000. Partiaily insured. L. Dannenbaum’s Son & Company, whole- sale millinery, stock $150,000. Partly in- sured.

Kober i LATE SPORTING NEWS THEY PLAYED GOOD BALL. Orioles, However, Hit More Oppor- tunely and Wo: That down-shoot which Washington's base ball club is undergoing was not stop- ped at Baltimore on Saturday. Although Manager Schmelz's men put up an ex- cellent exhibition, making but one error, the Orioles took the ball by a score of 7 to 5. Ward played second base, and Hasa- macar right field, the former accepting™ine chances and making a double and a single. Radford at short also accepted nine chances. Mercer pitched finely, and re- celved excellent support. Wet grounds were responsible for a number of tumbling acts, one by Abbey in the third inning, hav- ing much to do with the scoring of several runs by Baltimore.

Manager Schinelz and the Washington ball club left this morning for Philadelphia, where they play today and tomorrow, pro- ceeding to Boston on Thursday. Maul, Mercer and Petty wiil do the pitching on the trip. Selbach remained at home to nurse an injured hand, Hasamaear taking his place in right field. Pitcher Esper failed to report at the de- pot to journey to Baltimore with the ciub on Saturday, and then it was learned by Manager Schmelz that the absentee had re- marked to a number of persons that he in- tended to leave the club. Should the report be true that the “Southpaw” has Jumped his contract the probability is that his base ball playing days are over. President A. L. Johnson of the Allentown state league team and Michael Kelly, the $10,000 beauty, are about to separate. Johnson is very sore at the babyish actions of Manager Kelly in refusing to play the last halt of the tenth inning at Harrisburg on Wednesday last, and so informed Kelly. They had a few words, and now Johnson has decided to release the “king.” Big Jack Milligan will act as manager of the team. Rain interrupted the game of base ball between the Kendall Green Deaf Mute Club of Washington and the Western Maryland College Club on Saturday. Up to the first half of the second inning neither team had scored. Washingto! Low Averages. The New York World has prepared and published the batting and fielding averages of the teams and players up to May 17. The club batting averages are: Philadel- phia, .317; Baltimore, .307; Pittsburg, 287; St. Louis, .286; New York, .282; Brooklyn, .280; Cleveland, .263; Cincinnati, .262; Chi- cago, .246;Washington, .245; Louisville, .240; Boston, .227. The club fielding averages are: Cincinnati, .951; Clevland, 48; New York, .945; Balti- more, .44; Philadelphia, .936; Pittsburg, 936; Louisville, .¥34; St. Louis, .931; Boston, 923; Brooklyn, .919; Chicago, .002; Wash- ington, .808. Willing to Strengthen the Team. ‘The Washington correspondent of the Sporting Life writes: “Before the team left Washington for New York I had a long talk with Treas- urer Wagner and Manager Schmelz about the make-up of the senatorial aggregation. I was bewailing the fact that the team was weak in the pitcher’s box and off-color at the short stop position. Mr. Wagner spoke up, saying: ‘I am going to make the same statement to you that I did to Man- ager Schmelz just before you came in. If you can point out to the satisfaction of Mr. Schmelz any one of a half dozen men who are better ball players than those under contract to the club now we will get them if it is possible. 1 realize that we might go to work and sign some new material and thereby make a grand bluff to indicate to the Washington patrons that we are doing everything we know how to strengthen the team. But before we sign anybody we want to be sure that it {s the sort of material which will help to win games.’” Trotting at Baltimore. ‘Trotting races have taken a great hold on the Baltimore public. A deal has been closed by which another track will be opened near that city. B. H. Demarest, the owner of a large stable of trotting horses, has leased the Arlington race course, and he will conduct the place as a trotting course, the initial meeting to take place in October. This will give Baltimore three trotting tracks within a radius of half a mile. The Road Record Broken. The Maryland state twenty-four-hour eyeling record was broken Saturday by Elmer C, Davis, in a race against time under L. A. W. rules. He rolled off 240 miles in fifteen hours, actual running time, The first 100 miles was covered in a pour- ing rain, which made the roads unfit for fast time. He then retired, and it was expected the unequal contest would be abandoned, but five hours later he man- fully started out to complete his task. The record made is startlingly good, in view of the conditions. Davis is but twenty-one years of age, and now holds all the state records. Willing to Fight in Florida. Joe Vendig of the Duval Athletic Club of Jacksonville, Fla., is in receipt of a letter from Jim Corbett, who is now in London. Corbett writes that he has de- cided to give the Duval Athletic Club the preference over all other clubs in regard to his fight with Peter Jackson. He also intimates that if Jackson refuses to fight him there, the latter will have to go with- out a fight. The conditions under which Corbett agrees to fight there are a purse of $25,000, to go to the winner, and each principal to receive $1,000 for training ex- penses. Vendig says that if Jackson re- fuses to meet Corbett in Florida, the Du- val club will hunt up another man, prob- ably Fitzsimmons, and match him against Corbett. hes First in a Flight From Chatham, Va. Mr. Howard M. Blandy’s flock of twenty- five homing pigeons, which were counter- marked and shipped to Chatham, Va., Fri- day night, were Hberated yesterday morn- ing by J. A. Merchant, who telegraphed: “Birds liberated at 6:15 a.m.” The drop wires were passed by the old storm bird Lynx at 11:03 3-4 a. m., followed by the C banded youngster Verbena at 11:04 4-4; time on the wing, 4 hours 483-4 and 493-4 min- utes, respectively; average speed per min- ute for the distance of 19.46 miles, 1,135 yard These birds did remarkably well, as they showed upon their return evidences of hav- ing encountered rain along the course, to- gether with adverse winds. Mr. Blandy ras town Lynx every year since 1889 and his homing qualities have well stood the test of four filghts from Chatham, Va., two flights Mr.e from Concord, N. C., (300 miles), two flights from Greer's Depot, S. C., (400 miles), and a year from Suawanee, Ga., distance, 5i4 miles. Verbena, registered No. C. 1651, has the distinction of being the first youngster traired from Chatham, Va., this year, and is the first youngster to ever be trained at this season, it being the custom among pigeon fanciers to train youngsters in the fall of the year in which they are hatched. Verbena is a sky blue hen, little more than four months old, hatched January 12 of this year by Frank Reamer and Black Wonder, record birds of 500 miles. Owing to its ten- der age it will be taken off these spring races and entered In its class, the young bird races of the fall of this year. ‘The rest of the flock will be counter- marked and shipped Friday night to Con- cord, N. C., distance 307 miles, to fly in competition, 27, with the Federation of American Homing Pigeon Fanciers. = Among the Wheelmen. The races at the state meet, League of American Wheelmen, at Lockport, June 16, will be as follows: One-mile novice; one- mile handicap, class A; half-mile League of American Wheelmen state championship (medals, three in number, will be made from dies owned by the New York state division); one-mile tandem, class A; one- mile club championship; five-mile handi- cap, class A; one-mile, League of American Wheelmen state cham- | pionship; one-mile open, class B (prizes for this race, $150 in value); two-mile handi- cap, class B; one-mile team race, three from each club; one-mile, county champion- ship; three-mile race, class A. The wheelmen of Asbury Park had a gay @me in celebration of the new town ordinance requiring the use of both lanterns and bells upon the wheels at night. The boys had out all the dinner bells, gongs, stable lanterns and “whatnots” obtainable and caused both annoyance and amusement to the people. Six hundred cyclists are in training for the big Canadian relay race, Sarnia to Mon- treal, and 400 more are practicing to act as pacemakers. Michael Brunner and Charles Fuhrman of the Buffalo Ramblers will take a three months’ tour through France and Ger- many a-wheel this summer. Frank E. Klipfel and Charles F. Brooks of the Buffalo Ramblers, over hilly roads, recently covered 123 miles in nine hours and fifteen minutes. Charles Murphy has begun work at Syr- acuse by doing a half mile in 1:001-5, He was paced by Callahan. = National Road Improvement Association will hold a convention in Asbury Park from July 1 to 5. Johnson is to make his effort to cover a mile under two minutes at Waltham, Mass. Salmson, the Swedish racer, won forty- three prizes last year. A new bicycle track at Pittsburg will cost $5,000, Chicago Athletic Club will have no class B races, ee is to have a race meet on June AFFAIRS, Getting Ready to Go to Richmond for the Soldiers’ Monument. There was a meeting of the League of the Sacred Heart at St. Mary's Church yes- terday morning. The regular weekly meeting and drill of the Alexandria Light Infantry wil! take place at the armory tonight. The company will then take final action on an invitation to go to Richmond on the 30th inst. to take part in the ceremonies :ncident to unveil- ing the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument. The boys will also take part in the confed- erate memorial exercises on Thursday. There will be a meeting of those who will take part in the singing on Memorial day at the Southcrn Methodist Church tonight. All'who desire to take part are Invited to be present. About five hundred people went to River- side Park to witness a game of ball be- tween the Shamrocks of Washington and a nine from Coxey’s army. They were dis- appointed, however, for the grounds were too wet and muddy for the teams to play. About twenty Coxeyites, in charge of Christopher Columbus Jones and Jesse Coxey, went down, taking with them Legal Tender'’s goat, which caused much merri- ment. They will play at Riverside next Sunday, if the weather permits, It is expected that the contra ‘or bull ing the new track at the Gentlemen's Driv- ing Park will be awarded this afternoon. Mr. Charlie Crook will leave for Staunton tonight, over the Chesapeake and Ohio road, to go into business. The rain Saturday night in the neighbor- hood of Mt. Vernon was the heaviest of the season. Mr. Amos Woodward and wife are visit- ing friends in eastern Pennsylvania. Despite the inclemency of the weather yesterday, the churches were well attended. In all but St. Paul’s and the Second Pres- byterian the resident rectors held forth. At St. Paul's Dr. Walker held forth and at the Second Presbyterian Rev. Dr. Camp- bell, general agent of the Virginia Bible Society, preached in the morning. In the afternoon he organized an auxillary to the society, composed of representatives from most of the Protestant churches in town. The following committee was ap- pointed to take charge of the matter: K, Kemper, John Herndon, W. W. Parker, Richard Tucker and James R. Caton, About 400 barrels of sugar came near being washed away at Reed’s wharf yester- day morning by the rapidly rising tide. A large gang of men were put to work and moved them before a great deal of damage had been done. The Norfolk and Western has leased ten engines from the Richmond and Danville with which to move coal from the Flat Top Tegion. The usual number of Saturday night and Sunday drunks were disposed of, and fines aggregating $60 realized. Albert Wood and Charles Jackson, both colored, charged with assaulting and robbing Lefer Blouse on Friday night, were held for further exami- nation. In the absence of the mayor Squire Thompson presided over the court this morning. Quite a number of people will witness the boxing contests at Dan Henry’s Thea- ter tomorrow night, under the auspices of the Pastime Athletic Club. The match between Peckham and Fitzpatrick is cre- ating a great deal of interest. It will be a fifteen-round “go,” and as both men are in good condition the outcome is doubtful, —_—-._— TROLLEY LINES TIED UP. Brooklyn Surface Road Employes Ob- ject to Buying Uniforms, An attempt was made by the conductors and motormen employed by the Atlantic Avenue Railroad Company in Brooklyn to Stop the operation of cars on the various lines of the company yesterday, owing to differences in regard to the requirement by the company that the men appear in new | uniforms yesterday. There are about 1,000) employes, and of these nearly 200 complied | with the order and purchased the summer | uniforms required. The suits cost each con- ductor $11.75 and each motorman $6.75, and the men are required to purchase them from @ certain tailor. The majority of the men rebelled at the requirement and held indig- nation meetings last week. They decided that instead of getting the new uniforms they would refuse to go to work yesterday. When the company heard of this police pro- tection was asked for, as it was feared that the men would interfere with the operation of the cars on the lines by the men who should appear for work. Notices were posted at the office of each line that only men in the new uniforms would be allowed to work. | The result was a combination strike and lockout, and the operation of the cars of the company was crippled. eee HENRY GUILLOTINED. The Parisian Anarchist Goes to Death With a Defiant Shout on His Lips. Emil Henry, the author of the explosion in the cafe at the Hotel Terminus, in Paris, on February 12 last, was guilliotined at 4:14 o'clock this morning. Every pzecau- tion was taken to guard against disorder, The guillotine was erected in the Place de La Rouquette. As Henry emerged from the on gates he shouted, “Vive la anarchy,” which he repeated just before he was seized and thrown on the guillotine. There was no disorder. Yesterday afternoon President Carnot re- fused the appeal for a reprieve for Henry. Counsel for the condemned man presented the appeal to the president, ani supported it with every argument at his command, but M. Carnot was inexorable, and his only answer to the counsel was that he must let justice follow its course. tee A Gasoline Explosion. Yesterday morning, about 1 o'clock, the explosion of a gasoline stove in the house |of Dr. Robert Douglass, No. 306 D street | | northeast, caused the calling @ of the fire department. The house and furniture suffered to the amount of about $200. A Great Gathering to Be Held in Philadel- phia Tomorrow. This City Will Be Represented by the Crack Team of the Capita Bicycle Clab. Ton crrow what is expected to be the largest and most important gathering of whist players ever held will take place in Philadelphia, the occasion being the fourth annual congress of the American Whist League. Since its organization four years ago in Milwaukee the league had 4 most marvelous growth. When it was formed, in 1891, there were but a handful of clubs represented. Now eighty-seven clubs are members, They represent nearly every state in the Urion and most of the Jarger cities. Henry Jones, better known as “Cavendish,” the great English authority, and Dr, William Pole, another authority, who reigned just before “Cavendish,” are honorary members of the league from Eng- land. Nicholas Browse Trist, the great American authority, and whose word has been largely accepted by “Cavendish,” and Fisher Ames of Boston, another famous whist expert, are also honorary members. It is estimated that there sayill be nearly 500 delegates present in Philadelphia to- morrow, every one of them able whist play- ers, from all parts of the United States. At the congress last year, in Chicago, there were about 300 delegates, which was the largest number that had ever come to- gether up to that time. Eighteeen clubs contested for the championship trophy, but a great many more will contend for first honors this year. W: ngton’s Famous Team. The Capital Bicycle Club of this city will be represented by Jules P. Wooten, T. P. Borden, H. N. Low and Mr. Barick. Last year this club made the highest score inthe club pair match. It is one of the strongest. in the league. In Chicago last year the additional attraction of the world’s fair made the whist tournament the largest that had been held up to that time. Eigh- teen clubs were represented, and it was, probably, the finest gathering of whist ex- perts ever brought together. The contest for championship honors was hotly con- tested, and was finaily won by the Minne- apolis Whist Club by a score of 1,014 points. The Chicago and Milwaukee Whist clubs tied for second place, at 1,009 points each. Then came the Wahpanseh Whist and Chess Club of Chicago, the Amrita Club of Poughkeepsie and the Hamilton Club ot Philadelphia, each getting over 1,000 points. The Trophies. There are two new trophies, one known as the American Whist League trophy, and the other the Record prize. The latter, a silver cup valued at $250, is the gift of the Philadelphia clubs, and is to become the absolute property of the club reaching the best general record in the various con- | tests. The American Whist League tro- phy is also a silver cup, sixteen inches in height, and valued at $0. It is to be held by the club winning it at the congress, and at certain intervals during the year other clubs can challenge for the cup. The fight for the championship this year promises to be close from the start. The eastern clubs will try to keep the Hamilton trophy in this part of the couatry for the next year, if possible. Among the promi- nent players from the Hamilton Club will be Milton C Work, E. Price Townsend, Eugene Ellison, Gus Remak, jr. E. A. Ballard and H. Townsend.

The continued rains of the past few days Proved to be too mvch for the fortitude of the Coxeyites, and, setting tired of floundering around in the mud at Camp George Washiagton, in Bladersburg, the commonwealers yesterday packed up the larger portion of their dilapidated outfit and moved it across the Eastern branch to a field belonging to Gecrge Stegmaier. The srovnd is high and the men are fairly well satisfied with the change, the only cause for grumbling being that it removes them from close social irtercourse with the cit- izens of Bladensburg and takes them a little out of line of the travel of the cur- ious. The headquarters of the concern, however, will remain at Camp George Washington, and speaking by Browne and Coxey will be contirued in the stable yard of the George Washiigton Tavern in’ the everirg: usual. The commonweal has dropped into a sort of humdrum existence that is altogether dull and uninteresting Day in and day out the program is the same, and the description row so familiar to the reading public of one hour's incidents at the camp suffices to cover all the rest of the time. Browne was not in evidence at the encampment yesterday, but he issued his usval order last night, which, after in- dulging in the familiar high-wrought sen- tences, closed with a tender reference to the death of the little daughter of one of the ccmmonwealers, and directed that roses be pinred to the headquarters tent in mem- ory of the child. A large number of the men attended services at St. Jerome's Church in Hyattsville yesterday evening, which were conducted by the Rev. Father Russell, while Dr. Livingstone also held a meeting in the yard of the Bladensburg Presbyterian Church, of which he is the pastor, Mr. Coxey addressed a small gath- ering from the panorama wagon on the subject of his pet hobbies, and indulged in his customary rosy prophecies about the final success of his movement. The “in- dustrial” army of “Gen.” Frye is expected to reach the camp tomorrow evening, in case a train can be chartered at Cincin- nati, but if Frye’s faithful followers have to foot it here it will be a couple of weeks before they get to the banks of the Eastern branch. Today everything was quiet in Bladens- burg and vicinity, and even the fact that Browne, Coxey and Jones were to hear their legal fate did not appear to interest the men as much as the question of what they were going to have to eat during the day. Some Recruits. About 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon a num- ber of colored men from Washington, bear- ing a banner with the inscription of “Knights of Labor,” called upon Marshal Browne and desired to become contingents SIGK PEOPLE CURED Eminent Doctors t Your Service Free Net a Penny to Pay for the Fallest Medical Examination.

One of the marshals stated that some of them had ‘remarked that if Browne was im- prisoned they would tear down the jail. The marshal added, however, that such remarks were not approved of and that efforts had been made to quiet them. A number of do- oo were made to the army on Satur- lay. Mr. F.O. Salisbury, chief of staff of Frye’s industrial army,veported to Marshal Browne on Saturday evening with a letter of intro- duction from Frye and was placed in charge of the California commune. He wore a red badge bearing the words “Industrial Army.” He stated that he had feft Frye at Cincinnati with 800 men and that he would be here in the course of ten days. Mr. Salisbury gave a vivid description of the hardships of the army since it left Los Angeles, Cal., with 720 men and how the men were without food for seventy-two hours in crossing the desert between Colton.Cal.,and San Antonio, Texas. He said that the views of the in- dustrial army coincided with Coxey and Browne's, as they wanted employment for the unemployed. ee FITZGERALD'S DELEGATION. They Propose to Hire a Hall When They Reach Washington. The Fitzgerald delegation of unemployed men, which started from Boston April 2: on a march to this city, arrived in Balti- more Saturday and held a meeting there yesterday, where addresses were made by Morris I. Swift and Michael Fitzgerald, the leaders of the delegation, and others. A collection of $8 was taken up to help them on their way to Washington. The delegation consists of about fifty men, all of whom, with four exceptions, claim to be regularly appointed delegates from Bos- ton labor unions. The exceptions are four weavers, who joined the delegation in New Jersey. Fitegerald’s Petition, At the meeting yesterdey Fitzgerald read the petition which he intends to lay before Congress. It is as follows: “The past winter the working people of the country have suffered as never before, although the country’s wealth and supply of food are almost beyond the reach of figures. This shows an economic condition pro- foundly wrong, but it is only the exaggera- tion of an evi. every year growing more pronounced and dangerous. The rank and file of the working people of the country, both farmers and citizens, are securing as Wages so small a part of what they produce that they are being Gegraded, and often they are without the necessaries of life. How long do you think the republic will stand if this injustice continues? The country is already a plutocracy. ‘The wealth power must be curbed and civilized or our days of national prosperity are num- bered. We, therefore, request you: “To provide farms and factories where the unemployed now, and at al! times here- after, may be able to apply their labor pro- ductiveiy for the supply of their own wants. “To amend the Constigution of the United States so that it shall affirm the right of | every one to have work. “To abolish interest-bearing bonds. “To furnish immediate employment for the unemployed by beginning the construc- ticn of good roads on a large scale through- out the country, “To nationalize the railroads, graph and the mines. “To appoint a commission to investigate the advisability of nationalizing trusts. “That all land not in actual use shall be oo open to those willing to cultivate i the tele- Not Identified With Coxey. According to the Baltimore Sun today the | members of the delegation are anxious not to be confounded with the Coxey movement, with which they say they have no connec-| tion. “We are not an army,” said Leader Swift, “and there is nothing fantastic about us. While we sympathize with the objects for which Mr. Coxey is working, we go to Washington on an errand different and broader than his. We have a different peti- tion from Mr. Coxey’s, which we will lay be- fore Congress.” ‘The delegation will, according to the a! nouncements made in Baltimore. leave tha’ city tomorrow morning and will march to | Ellicott City. They expect to reach Wash- ington tomorrow night or Wednesday. Their plan of procedure here will be to secure a hall and invite a number of Senators and Representatives to attend their meetings. ‘They say they will adopt oniy the methods used by any other committee or delegation to lay their complaints before Congress. “see FEARING TROUBLE.
