CHICAGO, March 30.—More than. twenty years ago Erick Nordstrom logt his sweetheart and sued the clty >f Chicago for damages. Yos- terday another suit for $30,000, an outgrowth of the old case, was corded in Nordstrom's name against the city. In the early nineties Mathilde Svenson came to the United States from Sweden. Erick loved her. Is suit was lost, he alleged, when ty detective circulated false stories about him and Mathilde married another. Nordstrom sued the detective and the city for $25,000. G. B. Swift, then mayor, agreed to pay the sum it the suit were dropped, Nord- strom claimed, but never did. In 1914 Frrick again sued the city, this time for $48,000, but nothing came of it, and now he has sued again. In the intervening years Nord- strom has filed some thirty suits against Individuals and corpora- tions, and actually won some of them. Mathllde long since has faded from the picture.

CLEVELAND, March 30.—Plans for the ersction ot a twenty-stary buildiag to cost approximately $1,500,000 have been announced by trustees of the First Presbyterian (Old Stone) Church. The bullding will be erected on Ontario adjoining the church, which is one of Cleveland’s landmarks. It will occupy space on which the chapel stands at present and wilj have a frontage of 100 feet on Ontario street and extend back about 170 feet on West 2d street.

S. Demanding that Masonry play its part in the bullding up of the nation, P. W. Weldner, secretary general of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite, for the Southern Jurisdiction, outlined the efforts of the Scottish Rite im Americanizing the country, in an ad- quired by the church, and the remainder will be arrauged for office purposes for the general road Labor Board. He contended that an analysis of the possibility ot physical production undertaken by competent economists proved that the physical resources, the plant, the la- bor power and the scientific knowl- edge of the Unlted States are such that a living wage was possible for all who work if fndustry was di- rected to that end. - > “That industry does not intend to pay this living wage Is clear from the way in which it squeezed the workers and the farmers during the periods of inflation and deflation,” he asserted. He also charged that nterests which he said were back of the railroads’ demand for a fresh- pay cut weref planning new rajds on the income of ‘all wage-earners and farmers when t:-ey emerge from the present depres- sfon. “This policy Is pursued,” he said, “because interest, rents and divi- dends are deemed more important than the payment of wage-earners of the means of buying regular supplies which their families need for health and comfort. Regional Conference Falls. Complete failure of the regional ne- gotiations between railroad manage- ments and the engineers and fire- men's_ brotherhoods in an effort’ to settle disputes over wages and work- ing conditions was revealed when the Railroad Labor board set a hearing i for disputes involving engineers and firemen's rules on all rallroads to follow the present wage hearing, which is expected to end April 15. The announcement was said by rallroad men to lend confirmation to reports of the split between engin- eers and firemen, and the conductors and trainmen’s brotherhoods. Con- ferences between the two latter or»l ganizations and the railroads are still in progress with prospects, they added, of an agreement. | With the announced desire to avoid carrying their troubles to the labor! board the big four brotherhoods, which have for years acted with a solid front, requested Secretary | Hoover to call the railroad and brotherhood heads together to at- tempt a settlement. Plans for re- | Elonal conferences resuited. During the negotiations Warren S. | stone, grand chiet of tne Brother- {hood ‘of Locomotive Engineers, and W. S. Carter, head of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, went into conference alone with a committee of eastern raflroad officials. L. E. Sheppard, president of the Order of Rallway Conductors, and W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Rallroad Trainmen, were left to hold separate conterences with the roads. Ask Board to Aect.

Investigating the theft of diamond | Jewelry valued at $5.000 from the res- idence of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Lu- quer, 1443 Rhode Island avenue, the last few weeks, Detectives Kelly, Jones and Jackson yesterday arrested Alexander West, colored, twenty-four | years old, 1457 S_street, employed as | in the Luquer home, fi.ndl charged him with grand larceny. It was affer an all-day grilling, the ! detective staled, that West admitted! taking two articles of jewelry, a dia- mond brooch and a diamond cross valued at $4.000, but denied taking a pin and bracelet that were reported | stolen. Last night Mrs. Luquer dis- covered that lace valued at $2,000 had been stolen, while Lynch Luquer, a son, missed a suit of clothes. ‘West, a former Pullman porter, told of having sold the $3,000 cross for §150, while the brooch, he said, was sold for $250. The detectives traced the brooch through five hands and recovered nine of the diamonds that! had been taken from it. Two other colored men are held by the detectives in connection with the investigation of the robbery. No c}r:nn has been preferred against them. impossible to reach an agreement and asking that the rules disputes again be taken up. Forty-seven railroads were involved in the western group, thirty-eight in the east, and twenty-five in the south- east. Charges of favoritism on the part of the roads toward the big four have been made several times during the present wage hearings. Leaders of the smaller labor groups have declared that the railroads wished to | reduce their labor bill at the expense | of the lower classes of workers, while retaining present rates of pay for the train service men. The brotherhoods have no national agreement, but work under separate agreements with the individual rail- roads. Most of the roads are now seeking relief from the railroad ad- ministration's application of the time- and-one-half rule and from the rule requiring additional pay for de- lay at terminals. Various other minor rules, applicable to the individual roads, are also under dispute. dress at a banquet given by the Grand Couneil, Royal ard Select Masters of the District of Culumbia at the SCot- tish Rite Temple last night in honor of the viriting General Grand Master of Royal and Select Masons of the United States, Fay H.mpstead. “Must Stop Attacks.” There is not enough respect in this country for the Constitution of the United States, declared Mr. Weidner; who pointed out that people wers flocking to this country, settling in communities and forming little col- onies of various nationalitics, instead of becoming Americanized, and that some citizens of the COUNLTY Were now questioning the good motives of their state officials, the Congress at Wash- ington, the President, and were even BoIng so far as to accuse the courts of the land of following popular opinfon in their decisions. “This must stop,” declared Mr. Weidner. The Scottish Rite is behind good American education and will support compul- sory education and the ideal of cne language in this country, he said. Fay Hemstead spoke on the merits of the General Grand Council of Royal and Select Masons of the United States. He recited a poem of his own composition, ‘“Sextennial’® for which he was created poet laure- ate of Freemasonry. There have only been three poets laureate and Robert Burns was the first, explaned Mr. Hempstead. In reply to a toast to Ame. ica vy Ben W. Murch, Past Grand ilaster, F. A. A. M., who presided as toasi- master, Representative J. C. l‘nm:;y the of Oklahoma declared that American home is the histor: place of America. the world have a different conception of America now, and we are the cen- ter of the eves of the world,” declared Mr. Pringey. The other speakers of the evening were: Charles C. Coombs, grand master of the Grand Lodge cf the District of Columbia: Delos W, Thayer, grand high priest of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Ma- sons of the District of Columbia, and John A. Moyer, acting grand commander of the Grand Commandery of the District of Columbia. Rev, Walter F. Smith, grand chaplain, pronounced the invocation.
