FOR BIG MACHINERY COMBINE. Plans Said to Be Under Way for Con solidating Plants With Capital of $50,000,000. Chicago, April 9 A special from Milwaukee, says: "Charles Allis, representing the great plant of the E. P. Allis Company, is in New York in connection with a proposition to consoli date all the big machinery and stationary en gine plants of the country.

The trust will it formed, have a capital of $50,000,000, and include over forty plants. They are located in. Milwaukee, Fort Wayne, Canton (O.) Vaikesbarre Pittsburg, Youngstown Cleveland and Hamilton New York, Philadelphia and Akron "William Allis said to day that the com bination had been under consideration for some time, but that his company had never given an option on the plant. "None of the other officers would confirm the report that the combination had been formed and that the Allis Company was in it. However, from the attitude of some of them when approached on the subject, it is apparent that it is only a question of a short time when the organization will be formed." OTTAWA THEATER BURNED.

Flames Spread to Hussell House Guests Fled in Night Clothes Loss Will Reach $100,000. Ottawa, April A fire which started in the Russell House block at 1:43 o'clock this morning destroyed the Russell Theater, one of the finest play houses in Canada, and damaged the Russell House, one. of the princi7 pal hotels in this city, before the firemen succeeded in gaining control over the flames. These buildings, with two others, occupy the block bounded by Queen, Elgin, Canal and Sparks streets. The total loss is estimated at $100,000.

The fire spread from the theater to the hotel with great rapidity and forced some of the 200 guests to make their escape in their night clothing. To add to the confusion the electric light wires were cut, leaving the hotel in total darkness. All the guests escaped, however, without injury. The "Belle of New York" opera company played in the theater last night and what scenery and costumes had been left in the building were lost. As the company left the city this morning some of their effects had been removed to' the depot.

Besides the hotel and the theater the block contained the office of the Free Press and another portion of it was occupied with offi ces. The loss on these is small. GUILTY BOYS ARRESTED. Three of Them Admit Disfiguring the Martyrs' Tomb in Fort Greene Park. Three boys, who admitted that they were the ones who disfigured and mutilated the Martyrs' Tomb at Fort Greene, were arrested last night and arraigned in the Myrtle avenue court this morning before Magistrate Teale.

They were held for examination. The prisoners are John and Thomas O'Rourke, aged, respectively, 8 and 10 years, of 138 North Portland avenue, and James Mariana, known among his companions "Jesse James," 8 years old. of 115 North Portland avenue. On March 25 an officer on duty in the park discovered that large pieces of the molding of the decorative stone work and also pieces of the granite pillars of the tomb had been broken off. The matter was reported to Commissioner Brower of the Park Department.

The Commissioner was greatly incensed at the wanton desecration of the tomb and offered $100 from his private purse for the apprehension of the guilty ones. This reward was further increased by rewards of $50 each, offered by William C. Booth, a brother of the late Mayor Booth, and Freeborn G. Smith. It is said that the damage done is estimated at about $1,500.

The matter was placed in the hands of the police of the Classo'n avenue precinct, and Patrolmen John Rhatigan and Jesse Murfitt hist night arrested the three boys. When arraigned in court this morning the boys pleaded guilty. They said they used a hammer and a cobble stone. The amount of damage done makes the charge against the boys a felony, but because of their youth the magistrate reduced the charge to one of misdemeanor and the prisoners were held for the court of special sessions.

WILL DEFEND SUITS BROUGHT. Lawyer Tells of Demands He Has Made Which President Feitner Characterizes as de There are hundreds of persons who will not pay the personal taxes they are assessed by the City of New York, according to the statement of Lawyer Stephen C. Hoye, without first resorting to a legal contest, and be, as their counsel, Is prepared to look after their interests just as soon as the City of New York begins to enforce the warrants. The Tax Department officials have violated the statute, Mr. Hoye declares, by refusing people assessed privilege of examining the tax rolls and in other ways to which he has already called their attention.

Mr. Hoye. believes there are. hundreds ot persons riot regularly assessed who have not yet intrusted their interests in his hands, but will do so after they receive a circular he is mailing to day. The circular, which announces that Mr.

Hoye is counsel for the Title Guarantee Company of Staten Island, states that the sender believes personal tax assessments to be invalid and requesls that the person addressed return an Inclosed blank, saying that they wish to be relieved of the personal assessment and vesting the lawyer with power ot attorney to take the necessary proceedings to relieve him of said assessment, together with all aotices sent by the tax office. Mr. Hoye is so strongly of the opinion that he has a winning case that he agrees to take the same for 25 per cent, of the amount the Is assessed to pay, with the stipulation that he will expect no remuneration unless successful. Whej tils to day. Mr, Hoye said that be had already been retained by many people who.

proposed to. fight a personal tax assessment; that he had already been getting evidence with which to make the fight, and that he was prepared to go into court just as soon as the time came when an attempt was made to enforce the warrants. It was not the proper course to begin an action against the city when the officials had acted contrary to law, he said, but to defend when the city should try to collect on warrants. This was according to a Supreme Court ruling. Mr.

Hoye, It seems, has already served three formal documents on the members of the Board of Assessors. The first of these was sent on March. 7 last, and was as follows: To Departments of Taxes and Assessments, City of New Ynrk To the lion. Thomas L. Feitner, Hon.

Railroad of New Jersey are balloting in secret to day on the strike question and if two thirds vote affirmatively they will leave their posts as eoon as the result is officially declared and the approval of the national officers secured.

The situation is a critical one and hinges entirely upon the result of the' remarkable election that is now in progress. A forecast of the result of the poll is well nigh impossible. Among the men themselves there is strong sentiment on both sides of the issue with which they struggle. A majority of the local leaders seem to favor a strike hut they in turn are opposed by others in the ranks, and the result of the ballot will be the only true measure of strength. The men will not discuss the prospective strike outside of their lodge rooms and the group of fellow workers whom they know, and are suspicious of the attempts of newspaper men to draw them out.

It is difficult to say when the result of the vote will be known. It is generally understood that the ballots will be collected by the (: local organizations and by them forwarded 1 to the brotherhood chiefs. Even then, if the necessary number of workers have declared for a strike there may be a conference of the chiefs before final action Is taken. The impression has been created that the chiefs are not entirely in accord on all of the issues of the" dispute. The company is preparing for a struggle.

men to take the places of any who walk out are being assembled at convenient points along the lines and held in readiness for any emergency, and it is evident that If there is a strike the company will make desperate effort to keep its trains moving. It has been admitted by officials of the com pany that men are being engaged. Speaking for. the company this morning General Manager Warren said "We have heard nothing further from the man despite our willingness to treat with them, and as far as I know there is nothinj; new. I am informed that the men are bal Jotlng on the question of a strike, but do not know officially or personally that such is the case.

Most of my information, anyhow, comes from the newspapers. "We would regret trouble with our men. for I assure you we have no desire to be other than perfectly fair. I have, no idea what the men will decide to do, but I hope they will be reasonable. Everything is moving along evenly and quietly on the lines." Grand Chief Morrissey Believes Matter Will Be Amicably Settled.

Cleveland, April 9 Grand Chief Mor rlssey of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, who has just arrived home from New York, said to a correspondent to day that notwithstanding the failure of the heads of the various labor organizations to secure a conference with Vice President Warren, he still thought the trouble on the Central Hallway of New Jersey would be settled satisfactorily to all concerned without a strike. "It is true," said Mr. Morrissey, "that the entire question has been referred to the members of various labor organizations on the Central Road and they are now taking a vote to decide whether or not a strike shall take place. I am inclined to think, however, that w.e shall reach an agreement with the company'before it will be necessary to adopt such a radical measure." "Wilkesbarre Division Favors a Strike in Certain Contingencies. 'Wilkesbarre, April 0 The employes of this division of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, it is said, have voted almost unanimously in favor of a strike, providing that Vice President Warren of the road still persists in refusing the brotherhood officials a conference.

It is believed here, however, that Vice President Warren will ask the officers and various brotherhood of flcials to return to New York and discuss the conditions. The vote of the men was completed to day. The men on this division are well organ ized. They say that If Vice President War ren maintains the attitude which rebuffed the grand officers of the brotherhood, a strike Is expected by Wednesday or Thursday. The strike will be more serious to this re gion than any other along the Jersey Central Railroad, as it would compel the sus pension, of work in many mines which have no other outlet for their product, and would force about 12.0Q0 miners to quit work.
