By a decision arrived at after hours if discussion on the part of the roi^-workers in the Rink laat night i strike ballot is being taken today n the Industrial Hall.

Contractors All Refused Yesterday's ultimatum to the con- raotors resulted in the flat refusal ot the 45 cent rate by live contractors. While u itrong non-English speaking section of the workers seemed in favor of declaring a general strike, the probability is that the strike will be con- lined to the contracts where the *I5 cent rate is refused. This, however, involves the complication that men employed by thc city to build retaining walls are served with their material by the gangs working for contractors at 37 1-2 cents per hour, ll the 45 cent men stay with it while the others get only ,')7 1-2 cents they are "scab- SHIPPING REPORTS From the Dominion Government (Wireless Stations CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 MANITOBA'S BUDGET Telephones Show a Surplus Revenue of $110,000 (Special to the Optimist) Winnipeg, March 1.���The Provincial Budget presented today shows a revenue bt 13,847,320 with estimated surplus pi {612*180.

NO COLOR LINE FOR BILL TAFT APPOINTS BOSTON NEGRO TO A HIGH LEGAL POSITION Mr. W. H. Lewis Made Aaaiatant to the Attorney-General at Salary of $5,000. First Time Negro ia Given to Prominent a Position. (Special to the Optimist) Washington, March 1. President Tatt announced today lhe appointment of Mr. William H. Lewis of Boston to be assistant to the attorney-general at the Department of Justice, at a salary of $5,000. The appointment has created a lot of comment, for Mr. Lewis who belongs to Boston, is a negro. His legal ability is unquestioned, but the fact that hc has been selected for a position over the heads of several white men, is taken as an indication that President Taft has decided not to observe the color line in making appointments. This is the first time that a negro has been appointed to such u prominent position. ' lAl 8 A. M.) Tralngle���Cloudy, north five miles. Bar. 29 62, ther. 33. Sea smooth.

Donger in Your Shoes The elusive germ discovered in everything conceivable has been caught hiding in another stronghold by British scientists recently and the humble instrument of his propagation proves to be nothing more than nn old shoe. The shoe dealer and the cobbler are to be subjected to medical inspection if the health officers of Manchester carry out their threats, because, they declare, millions of germs are conveyed from one person to another by the common practice of trying on shoes and also by the transfer of germs from one shoe to another while in the cobbler's hands. In cases of tetanus, scarlet fever, eczema or erysipelas, every one is extremely careful to burn or disinfect the clothing but often the shoes are overlooked and these diseases are readily conveyed by the wearer to his neighbors, especially in the case of scarlet fever. The germ hunter is ever active, and it seems to the man who is in love with the good old times when we all drank out of the same rusty tin cup at the spring that we are not going to be permitted to breathe in the same room with another after a time, but will each wear our own little breath purifier. A man in Ohio recently went the limit when he insisted upon" carrying his own car strap, so that when he had to "hang" he would not be forced to use the device which had been besmirched by the grimy hands of his fellow travelers, and yet the precautions which we take and which our fathers never heard of are doubtless the only reason why we can live in our congested, overpopulated quarters and contrive to keep alive at all. So look out for your shoes. After Dinner Coffee Cafe noir is a strong decoction of black coffee which is served in small cups and is often partaken of unsweetened or merely flavored with a teaspoonful of brandy, or it may be sweetened with a spoonful of stiffly whipped cream on top of each cup. To produce Turkish coffee the coffee is put into a little metal pot in the proportion of two large tablespoonfuls of coffee, two lumps of sugar and half a pint of boiling water. Allow it to boil and bring it to a boil three times, j after which pou it off into hot cups. ! This coffee should be served without milk or cream. SS. High Price for a Husband Emilio de Gogorza, the operatic baritone is just about the highest-priced husband you could find in a tour around the world. According to rumors from Europe, Emma Eames, thc famous prima donna, who is known as de Gogorza'a "musical affinity," has coughed up $100,000 to get the big baritone as her hubby. Before Madame de Gogorza allowed her husband to get a divorce she insisted that he make ample provision for her. Her price was $100,000. De Gogorza hadn't the money. Emma Eames had. She put it up. They are to wed when the flowers bloom in the spring. Girls and Their Hair Athletic gh-ls should make a point of being so trigly put together that they do not fall to pieces in the stress of play or feel afraid that they may do so. Men sometimes scornfully say that girls cannot play games with an undivided mind because half of their gray matter is taken up with anxiety lest their hair is falling down, an anxiety so keen that their hands are forever going hairward to adjust slipping pins. Now, that is an aspersion which all athletic girls should ment) and they should make such comment impossible by arranging unruly locks in such a OUR DAILY RECIPE Macaroni Croquettes Break one-quarter of a pound of macaroni into half-inch pieces and boil rapidly in plenty of boiling salted water for about twenty-five minutes; throw in cold water for about five minutes to blanch, then drain.

GEORGE GOULD YIELDS CONTROL GIVES MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY TO ROCKFELLER FILLING UP OF BAYS Matter of G. T. P. Line Around Prince Rupert Waterfront Did not Strike a Blow���Had Probably Lost Confidence in His Ability to Handle a Railroad Campaign. George G. Gould has lost what is probably his last railway fight, and he has lost it before entering the ring. A fighter by nature he has surrendered control of the Missouri Pacific, the finest railroad property which his father. Jay Gould left him, without striking a blow. In the past he has fought desperate battles in the face of overwhelming odds, and lost them, notably in the case of his fruitless struggle with the Pennsylvania, but time has taught him discretion, and he has yielded control of this great line to the Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and Rockfeller interests without a show of resistance. These powerful American interests also had behind them the Deutsche Bank of Berlin, which represented the majority of the foreign shareholders in Missouri Pacific, and this combination of foes was practically irresistible. It is almost a year since the attacking ] party began the collection of proxies, and the gathering of their forces. This was carried out so secretly thai Gould's attention was not awakened, and when j the lawyers of his opponents demanded thc books and lists of shareholders of the company a short time ago, the old railroad president knew that he had lost the fight before he had begun it, and that he had no choice left but a wise reireat. It was more family tradition than belief in his ability as a great railroad president that had led him to retain control of the inherited properties for so long, and it will he more as a family than a financial loss that he will feel his recent defeat. COAL NOTICE The Hon. William Templeman has written to the city council stating thai he has instructed Messrs. Pringle & Guthrie to watch thc matter of the filling up of the small bays a omul Prince Rupert waterfront by the G, T. P. which is now before the Minister of Railways. The firm have informed the council that they have discussed the matter at length with the minister, who reserved judgment. In spite of the resistance of the G. T. I', through Mr. D'Arcy Tate, the i-ucstion will lie brought before the Board of Railway Commissioners. Meanwhile Messrs. Pringle & Guthrie are attending to the case, and will keep the council posted. They ask that the strongest possible proof of the value of these small bays to navigation be brought forward by the city, and state that they cannot immediately give an estimate of the probable amount of their account for services in thc matter.

Newton Once More Gently Reminds the Council Of It Probftbly the quiet manner in which Alderman Newton on Monday night asked the Acting Mayor whether he had heard anything yet of the famous fire engine on order, had more effect than if the redoubtable alderman had "lulminated thunder" about it. He called attention to the fire risk the city ran every day the fire engine delayed, and asked whether one or two smaller chemicals might not he ordered in case the machine broke down when it did arrive. Information regarding the far-off fire engine was not forthcoming but enquiries will be made by the city clerk for the fire committee.

Optimist Office. 14 w Take Notice A Message to the Workers Since the demand of thc Industrial Workers was sent to a committee for Investigation, the Optimist has purposely refrained from discussing the pros and cons of the men's request. That was in fairness to the committee. The question was subjudic, and comment while the matter was before the tribunal, would have been improper. Upon the decision of the committee, the Optimist thinks it better to make no comment. Public opinion is already sufficiently heated, and many are ready to lose their judgments. Comment on the matter may only still further inflame the men's passions. And nothing that could now be said can reverse the j.dgment of the city council. But bclore the men commit themselves to a decision to strike, we would urge them to cool reflection. With thc rights and wrongs of the question, it is idle now for either side to waste words on. That has already been made the subject of a decision. With the rights or wrongs of the case, the result of a strike is but little concerned. Strikes are won or lost by economic pressure, not by rights or wrongs. The question for the men to decjde first, is whether they are strong enough to win, whether a victory would be worth the price, and whether their surest route is not by more peaceable paths. The elements in the present conflict are so different to those in most labor disputes, wc would in all friendliness���and at the risk of being misunderstood- urge the workers to a careful weighing of their chances before precipitating a strike. In ordinary labor disputes affecting railroads or industrial corporations, the workers' chance lies in arresting the flow of dividends to share-holders. In the present MM that element is absent. The citizens are accustomed to using the plankways, and a tie-up of the grading operations would probably not inconvenience them enough to bring pressure on the council. The real estate men would suffer owing to the tie-up in thc market, but on the other hand, most of the real estate men are known to be opposed to the 45 cent increase, and it is probable they would rather sulfer for several months than ask the council to guarantee the increase to the contractors. The con'ractors have no shareholders clamoring for dividends to worry them into submission. They claim that while the men are working on the line for $3 for 10 hours, ihey will have no difficulty in getting laborers at $3 for 8 hours. The workmen would do well lo consider in face of thc certainty that a strike would be a long one, whether they would not do better to accept the sops offered by their friends on the council and wait until another council comes into power. Some of the aldermen have already expressed their readiness to retire if they can do so without incurring legal penalties The workers have received a lesson in politicians' promises which may be very valuable to them in days to come. All accounts not settled by thc 10th, service will be discontinued. City Scavenging Company Warning The public aro warned to keep away from the works while blasts are heintt fired. Persona persisting in amironchinir after being warned do tm at their own risk. S. P. McMORDIE&Co. 201-tf Contractor! BOOTS Strong & Garfield's OIL TANS The best wsterproof on the market Acting Mayor Smith replied that the plant was not doing all that waa expected of it yet. "Then," said Alderman Hilditch, "I still say that the department is not the credit it may seem in some citizens' eyes." As to extension work Alderman Hilditch was apprehensive. "It has cost about $42,000 instead of $22,000 to put in the plant we have," he said. "We cannot supply light at the promised rate of 15 cents per k.w. hour with the plant at its present cost. If we extend at the same rate as we built it will not be a profit earning concern." "It seems," said Alderman Clayton, 'that Alderman Hilditch is bound to get off on the wrong foot. He wants us, and the public, to believe that because thc first 100 k.w. cost $42,000, the second 100 k.w. is to cost at the same rate. This is not so. The initial cost of installing this plant was heavy but the engine is powerful enough. As far as criticism goes, the department of which Alderman Hilditch is chairman is the worst managed and the most expensive in the city." Wiih the wings of an angel of peace Alderman Newton entered the discussion. He pointed out that even if the light "output was lessened in summer, the plant might be turning out power. Then Mr. Love's salary would be justified. MAYOR MANSON IS NEEDED Scott, Froud & Co. Second Avenue " Boots and Shoes of Quality.

It is high time little Willie returned and squared himself with the electors. ' The decision of the Industrial Workers List night not to consider a "sabotage" strike, reflects credit on them. Let us all when we work, work fair, and when we light, light fair.

Streeta Department la Worst Managed and Costliest in the City, Saya Aid. Clayton. A little till batmen Alderman Clayton and Alderman Hilditch took place at Monday's council meeting. Alderman Hilditch expressed the opinion that as the summer comes on and the output of the light plant will decrease, the salary of $200 per month fixed for E. Love as manager of both the 'phone and light plants seems high. Alderman Clayton came in saying that the two departments in the city which are recognised ils thc most efficient are thc telephone and light departments. "When Alderman Hilditch's department is as ellicient il will be time for him to talk," said Alderman Clayton. "He liis - all along been promising to do great things in the way of improvements and cutting down expenses, but there is nothing to be seen yet. When his own department is in as good condition, it will be lime enough for him to criticise men who are doing their best to get something really done in this direction." Alderman Hilditch denied that the light plant was as efficient as Alderman Clayton made out. The saving in coal consumption he said was really due to the fact that only one boiler was being used. The light plant was not lighting all the area it had been expected to light. "It seems," said Alderman Clayton, "that Alderman Hilditch's information i n this subject is the same as it is on many other subjects. He knows very little about il. We are not using two boilers because we do not need two boilers, and thc saving in coal comes to about $26 a week." Alderman Hilditch asked the chairman of the light committee the direct question: "Are we getting out of the light plant the result we expected?" As an export uccounta \ Mayor Manson is going to prove of great i assistance to the cily council when he gets back from Victoria. On Mon- , day thc aldermen began to consider , the auditors' report on the city finances. They sat in committee of the whole, I but after a little discussion they all quit, agreeing that it will bc ever so i much better to let Mayor Manson stay- wit h the job for a day or two when he comes back so that he can unravel ithe mysteries of the figures and explain them to the council.

The Iron Mountain train was on its way in, when a number of masked and heavily armed men boarded the train, and proceeded to the express car. Thc messenger who was taken quite by surprise, made small resistance. He was bound and gagged, and the men after going through the packages, made oil, taking with them certain packages which they selected and the money box from the express car.

He was an officer in the British civil service, and has written many fine poems, some humorous, others marked by the delicate nnd tender pathos apparent in these verses. The poem has reference to thc bloody victory gained by the Germans over the French on the battlefield of Sedan, in France, September 1-2, 1870. Here, in this leafy place, Quiet he lies; Cold, with his sightless face Turned to the skies; 'Tie but another dead; All you can say is said.

This so complicates the situation that there is some chance yet that a general strike may be declared. The difficulty along with a dispute as to the manner of strike adopted, kept the workers up late last night at their meeting. From half past seven p.m. last night until one a.m. this morning they debated the labor situation in the Skating Rink. The seated section of the rink was densely packed, a continuous stream of men having poured into the building from the opening. From eight hundred to a thousand workers must have been there. W. Fraser presided. His post was an onerous one. Aid. Newton Explains To begin with in response to an invitation by the P. R. I. A., Alderman Newton gave his understanding of the exact intention of the city council as regards the 45 cent increase. Alderman Kerr, and Alderman Hilditch were also expected to be there, but Alderman Hilditch had not received his invitation, and Alderman Kerr was detained elsewhere. The burden of explanation fell on Alderman Newton. Alderman Newton said that the situation had been much complicated by the legal dilticulty involved. Had il not been for that the men would have had the increase right away. But the idea of the method taken was to avoid landing the city in entanglements. "That," said Alderman Newton, "is why we thought it prudent to get around the matter in a way to reach the end that we thought advisable. I do not think that any citizen will tiutl that he receives much less money than lhat asked for." The chairman asked Mr. Newton if he would kindly outline the scheme- by which the council were going to give the increase. What men were to get it and what men were not to get it'.' Want a "Legal" Minimum "Every individual on the city staff will receive consideration," said the Alderman. "Do you understand that without iLs being put out in its bald way? Every citizen worker with the one exception of those doing light work such as snow-shovelling, etc., will receive favorable consideration as I understand the intention of the council. Some may say 'Why ask a man to work for 37 1-2 cents at all?' The idea is to have some minimum scale. There are legal entanglements, and it was felt that there should be the minimum rate of 37 1-2 cents somehow so as to show in court if necessary that such a thing exists." The Chairman- "That is satisfactory." In reply to other questions Mr. Newton said that the reason the P. R. 1. A. was not notified of the council's decision was because the committee was "Frankly, a regular bear-garden," and formalities were overlooked. He held that he had adhered to his election stand and promises. He had all along intended "citizen workers," but by citizens he meant men of any nationality who were really trying to make their homes in Prince Rupert. The council woultl estimate the merits of citizenship claims of this kind according to length of time of residence in the city. A motion thanking Alderman Newton was cordially carried, and the meeting also carried a motion accepting the council's decision on the wage increase. Wants Destructive Strike Then began the trouble. The question of whut to do about the contractors was opened. W. Casey came forward with a resolution plainly advocating a strike on the French "Sabotage" plan, that is the workers to remain on the job, but to do as little work and as badly as possible, and in such a way as to damage the tools and machinery as if by accident. Men would bc fired, of course, but others taking their places would always develop the same studied and destructive incompetence. It icquired n lot of explanation in various languages to get this idea clear, and then Ihe mass of the meeting was not in favor of it. The word "sabotage" worried them, and Casey altered the expression to "Irritation Strike." Still the idea seemed too far advanced for some of the principal speakers, and was not approved by most. While some vigorous speakers both in English and other tongues advocated a straight strike, either general, or confined to the contractors who refused the 45 cent rate, there were also more moderate speakers. Mr. Shaw in particular appealed for delay. A motion that a cessation of work for one week be callid was lost. Another motion that an Irritation Strike be called was also lost. The chairman, as thc hour grew later, urged on the meeting the need for a motion straight for or against a strike. Favored a Strike A motion was accordingly framed to the effect that all workers in receipt of 45 cents per hour should work and all in receipt of less should strike. This was put to the meeting, and looked like being carried by a show of hands, and loud cheering, but Mr. Casey called the chairman's attention tp the terms of the P. R. I. A. Constitution which calls for a secret ballot on a strike question. The hour was too late for a ballot to be taken then, so the motion that the ballot be taken loday was put through instead.

Admission $1.qq U��f, FOR QUICK LUNCH AND QUICKSEItj -CAM. AT II. C. QI'ICK Ll N'CH- Is Alter Aid- Morrissey Dear Sir, -I notice in this Evening's Empire, Mr. Monissey's remarks regarding the alteration of grade and extension of Fifth street. May I ask if Mr. Morrissey has given the cost of such an alteration the least serious consideration, also has he come to any conclusion as to who should pay for these alterations'.' Fifth street at present according to the map is only 56 feet wide, while our main streets are 94 feet wide, the difference is almost the size of two lots. If these lots were purchased all along the line from Second avenue to Sixth avenue for street widening purposes, one can imagine what nice round compensative prices the ratepayers would have to pay for them. Perhaps the alderman or some close friend owns two such lots, or have inside property that by such an alteration would be converted into corner tots. Did Mr. Morrissey go on the council with the sole object of pushing extravagant expenditure on the junction of Fulton street, Fifth avenue, and Fifth street? We never hear of him in connection with anything else. He never mentioned : that such a necessity was so important i while electioneering. What is further, for the lust two j years Fulton street has been established I us u main artery through the city, and many people have invested their money on thut basis, if Fulton street, between Fifth street und Third avenue were converted into u side street I should think they would be entitled to com- pensution. Tuking into consideration all these ] expenditures, which would be necessary If the proposed alterations were made, j and this alteration would only affect ubout 1,000 feet of street, for the same amount of money we could have every street und avenue in uny of section,*! 6, 7, or 8 put in u hubituble condition which ut the present time muny streets ure not, while in section 5 mound Fulton und Fiflh streets und Fifth uvenue are well provided for.
