PARRY ENGINEERS ANDTHER SCHEME :Puts Through New Bill | Limiting Duties of Secretary. Just as the meeting of the Fire Commis- sloners was about to come to a close yes- | terday Commissioner Parry suddenly in- troduced a resolution that came as a sur- prise to at least one of the members of the board. Parry's latest-move is to keep Secretary McCarthy in the office all the time and not allow him to o through the | formajity of checking off the accounts in | the corporation yard,.as was heretofore his duty. The motion was passed by a | vote of 3 to 1, Commissioner Rolla V. Watt being the only man to vote against it. | No one thought that this latest scheme of Parry's would go through, as’the old | system worked well and there was ap- parently no need of changing it. When the board was first established it was the duty of the secretary to make the rounds of the corportion yards and to check oft all the purchases of the depart- ment and go over the commissary’s books | and see that everything was right. Now this will all be done away with and Mc- Carthy will sit in his office and earn his salary of $200 much easier than hereto- | fore. | The meeting was about to adjourn when Parry arose and introduced his resolu- | tion. Commissioner Watt, after hearing it read, arose and made a request that it be lald over for a week and that each of the Commissioners be furnished a copy of the resolution, as is the custom. But the other three members of the board did not take xindly to Watt's sug- gestion and it was Immediately voted down. Then Watt arose again and made a lengthy speech, opposing the measure vigorously and giving his reasons for his stand in the matter. Commissioner Barrett stood by Parry in the matter and he proceeded to argue | the question with Watt. They held the ! floor for some time, Watt all the time op- posing the measure in the strongest pos- sible terms. But all his good words were wasted, for when the issue came to a | vote the other three Commissioners, Par- ry, Barrett and Maestretti, voted in fa- vor of the resolution and it was passed. This latest move on the part of Parry willgome as a surprise to not a few, though his motives are at present un- Rs into a natural amphitheater by the erec- tion of a stage across the lower end.

WASHINGTON, July 10.—The markéd progress on the naval vessels being bulit in the shipyards of the. Pacific Coast is a feature of a bulletin issued to-day by the Bureau of Construction and Repair, showing the advance for June made on all warships under construction on the Pa- cific Coast. The battleships Ohio and Ne- braska have advanced respectively from seventy-five to seventy-seven and from twenty to twenty-one degrées of comple- tion. The armored cruiser California ad- vanced 4 per cent last month and stands 32 per cent completed; the armored cruiser South Dakota advanced from 28 to 31 per cent; the protected cruiser Tacoma, from 77 to 79 per cent, and the protected cruiser Milwaukee, from 19 to 24 per cent. ‘Work on the armored cruisers Tennes- see and Washington began last month and advanced 1 per cent. At the head of the battleships stands the . Missouri, 94 per cent completed. This vessel will be completed about Thanksgiving day and will be commanded by Captain W. S. Cowles, brother-in-law of the President. Progress on the other battleships ranged 1 to 4 per cent during the month. Work on the eight armored cruisers advanced 18 per cent. Of the protected cruisers the Cleveland has advanced from 97 to 98 per cent; the Denver from 91 to 93 per cent and the Des Moines from 86 to 83 per cent. Other vessels. with the engeption of the Galveston, have made fair advances. The Galveston is at the Trigg Shipyard, 66 per cent completed. e e a2 known. It may be that he is on the look- out for another colt to sell or his game may be larger this time, but at all events the wily Commissioner has something that he wants to accomplish and time alone will disclose his motive. At the meeting bids were received for an automobile for the chief of the de- partment. One was for $1775 and the other at $300. The matter was laid on the table. It was voted to raise the pay of black- smiths’ helpers in the department from $250 to $275 per day. The wage of the harness makers in the department was fixed at $% a month. John Doyle was promoted to the rank of captain in the department, subject to passing a civil service examination. —_———— Reduced Round-Trip Rates Via Santa Je.

Judge Murasky decided yesterday that Edward Bruce Elliott, who holds a lucra- tive position with Goldberg, Bowen & Co., did not treat his wife, Lillian Elliott, in a fit and proper manner, and awarded her an interlocutory decree of divorce on the ground of cruelty. He also gave Mrs. Elliott the custody of one of their two minor children and awarded her $0 monthly alimony to enable her to defray the expense of clothing, feeding and schooling the child. The other child was given to Elliott. The Elliotts were married at Berkeley in 1898. For a time they lived happily, but there came a change in Elliott's de- meanor. She said yesterday that more than a year ago he told her to go away from him because he hated her. This was followed by other remarks of a like na- ture, and she. became sick and nervous. She said she tried to act toward him as ‘a dutiful and loving wife, but he no long- er lgbed her and her endeavors were wasted. Mrs. Elliott’s story was that Elliott re- fused to allow her to accompany him to places he visited, and last Christmas when she asked him to take her with him he brutally remarked in the presence of a number of relatives and friends that h;a ‘was going to a place not fit for her to visit. Another reason given by Mrs. Elliott for a separation was the manner in which her husband treated their eldest child. She said that he once abused the boy in such a way that the little one be- came hysterical. Mrs. Elliott's cup of misery was filled to overflowing, she said, when her husband cut off her relations with her old friends and refused to allow her to visit them or to glve his consent to their calling upon her. D A suit for divorce was filed by David ‘W. Critchlow against Alice Critchlow for desertion. ————— Freedom for Chauncey Dewey.

President Holland Admires Men That Are Full of Ambition. The arbitration proceedings between the carmen and the United Rallroads yester- Manager Chapman testified that after careful study of the situation he was certain that it would not be practical for the carmen of this city to work but nine hours a day. President Holland was next called to the stand. He testified con- cerning his wife’s housekeeping affairs, and lastly Motorman Cluff, in the employ of the company, produced timé schedules of his own composition showing how it was possible for all carmen to work less than nine hours a day, and he volun- teered to show, Manager Chapman his mistakes if he would produce his time schedules bearing on nine hours' work. Manager Chapman gave the following testimony during the day: If the men worked but pine hours a day the company would be compex% to put on_a num- ber of extra'men. . Supposing & carman working nine hours a day went to work at § in the morning. He would be finished by 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The heavy traffic commences late in the afterncon and conse- | quently a large force of extra men who would | make only one or two trips a day would be employed. Some time ago I got a petition from some of the men asking that they be allowed to work nine heurs straight, without a rest or meals. I refused this request in the interests of the com- ( pany, for I thought that a man could not give | his best services to the company working nine hours at a stretch without anything to eat. RENTS ARE UNCHANGED. President Arthur Holland of the United Railroads was then called by Livernash. He said he was a married man and re- sided with his wife at 2423 Broadway. Recently he held a conversation with Mr. of the firm of Baldwin & | Howell, real estate agents, and that gen- tleman then said that there had been no | material change in the last five | years in the rents of homes usu. | ally gccupled by carmen. The United | Rallroads owned a few houses in this city and rented them to carmen, but the rents | had not been raised since the company acquired the property. He had talked over expenses with his actual cost of living here was much burg. The only thing he knew that had gone up in price was the cost of tongue. At the Palace grill they had raised this article 10°cents on the menu. He under- stood, however, that flour and vegetables %a.ltl.St]le soul of l)cer. 1 The best barley makes the best malt.

This rate was higher than they could get in a savings bank. He was unable to get 5 per cent for any of his investments, nor could he think of being able to safely invest his money and secure this rate of interest in the future. | THIS IS A HARD WORLD. | He said that he had no disposition to overwork his men. He described the | world as “‘a hard-working world,” and he | thought that no business man, lawyer or ‘ other professional man worked less than twelve hours a day. He said: | Personally T like hard work, and I also like |} men with ambition and who are fond of hard ! work. If I were a workman I would want to | ‘work more than eight hours a day. Men work- ing by the hour don't hurt our purses, and all | men who wish to work over nine hours a day are gratified in their desire when we can ar- range it. The plan of the men working only nine hours a day was shown to be impractical by Mr, Chapman, the last witness. | In answer to the question whether he | belleved the present overtime schedule | was fair he replied in the affirmative, | adding, “I think wages are extremely | high.” | MEN WILL GET” A DAY OFF. At the afternoon session President Hol- | land said ho did not know previous to the | present proceedings that car cleaners and others, such as ollers, worked without a | day off. In the future all men working | for a monthly wage would receive every | other Sunday off and they would still re- | ceive full pay. “Supposing that the nine-hour schedule proved practical, would you accept n“”‘ Livernash asked him. “I can’'t say that,” was the guarded an- swer. He thought the chief requirements for a platform man in a streetcar com- | pany's employ were honesty and sobriety. ‘ At this juncture Livernash read a clip- ping from The Call giving a description | of a scene at the Palace Hotel during the | visit of the late President Harrison. In the article in question Harrison praised carmen and sald he considered that their | responsibilities were more than that of a | pilot bringing in a ship from the ocean. ; President Holland would not admit that | the men were as skilled as pilots. | | | EIGHT HOURS ARE ENOUGH. President Cornelius of the "carmen's| union testified that aftér fourteen years’ | experience #s a carman he considered that eight hours was long enough for any carman to work in one day. The men had asked to have their time cut down to nine hours, as they did not wish to ask too many sudden changes at one time. He considered that the men now spend all the leisure they have nursing their strength to meet their work. “Do you think,” asked Moore, “that the nerve-racking is as much on a street car- man as on a professional man, say a law- yer or a doctor, who works fourteen hours a day?” “No, I won't say that,” replied Corne- lius, “but then lawyers and doctors who work fourteen hours a day generally re- tire after about twenty years’ practice.” “Well, I don’t know any lawyers who retire after twenty years’ work,” replied Moore, adding, ‘“‘can you name any?" “Why, there is Niles Searls, for stance,” sald Livernash. *Oh, Niles Searls; why, he has been too old to work for years and he is the only case I ever heard of of an attorney who could find time to quit practicing,” said Moore. WOULD ACCEPT SIX. “Wwell, Mr. Cornelius, I suppose you would prefer to work six hours a day if you could,” suggested Moore. “Yes, sir, I would,” said Cornelius, as he stepped from the witness stand. Frank E. Cluff, a motorman, then pro- duced his time schedules and explained how it practical to work all the car- men undér nine hours a day. J. A. Bowlin, secretary of the carmen’s union, was the last witness of the day. He was once a conductor on the Califor- nia-street line, but last January he was made the secretary of the union. His salary is $20 a week, and his hours are from 8 to 5. He knew of no work as nerve racking as a car conductor's. The case will be resumed on Monday and Livernash expects to close his case on that dav- P in- Honolulu. | to the Coast. ]IONOL‘(‘LU‘ July 10—(B cial Dispatch to The Call, Cable).—In an effort to bre the dea AUSTIN, Tex.
