THE MORNING OBEGOfflAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1902. NEW BARBERS ON RACK STATS BOARD OF EXAMINERS HAS A BUSY DAY. Asplraat for Tentorial Hoaon Are Rigidly Questioned, aad Made to Skow Tkelr Skill. Took at this brush." said on of the State Board o Barber Examiners, as. he held up one of those whisk things used by barbers to brush off one's head and face after hair or beard trimming. "Originally these bristles were all -white and clean and might have been kept so; "we'll have to Jack this man up pretty strong on this." The brush -waa of a dirty color and little clots of greasy blackness were scattered all through it, adhering to the bristles. "All for the want of a little soap and water and energy," commented the exam iner. "Talk about germs why there's a billion In that, and the ordinary patron of a shop probably wouldn't notice it while the barber dusted it over his face and head." The brush belonged to the first of the row of applicants for barber's certifi cates, who were op erating before the board at 27 North Second street yester day. The board had hired the shop (a union place) outright for two days in or der to give the hold overs from the last examination and oth ers a fair chance to demonstrate their The man from ttio right to barbers' 11 barber. school. senses in this state. Many of the appli cants had failed at the last examination and were Anxious to try again. The board Is very serious and earnest about lte work and Is emphatic In saying that the operation of the present state law Is of greet benefit to the public and also to the barbers themselves. "It has raised the tone and raised the wages of the trade," said a member. "The first work done by the board after the law came Into effect was the removal of five shops run by Japanese, whose' places were simply fester-spots of disease. They employed 18 jap barbers, who shaved you for five cents and subjected patrons to the most dlsguetlngly filthy and unsanitary conditions Imaginable. They had no idea of barber-shop decency or cleanliness. For Instance, one place was supplied with a brass bowl, half full of slimy, black water and an Indescribable sponge. From this was made all the lather used In the shop, and each pa tron was washed off with t that sponge. The water was un changed throughout the day." "Yes," said an other member of the beard, "you have only to look around over Portland to no tice jwhat a striking ly clean, gentleman ly, expert lot the barbers here are and how careful of sani tary conditions. The law eliminates the Incompetents, the drunkards and the hobo traveling ele ment, whose habit A swell applicant is to follow in the from Astoria and bis train of Important kIt o tools events like 'fairs and the recent Elks' Car nival. The latter class has always worked an Injury to the local trade,, which has cutstayed all dull seasons, and is entitled to the benefit of extra business. "In former times barbers' wages ranged about ?8 and $10 a week, now $13 and half over $20 is the lowest guarantee at which barbers can be secured In 15-cent ehops, and $12 with half over $18 in 10-cent shops." "What do you mean by 'half over'?" "Why, you have $13 straight wages, and if your chair takes In over $20 during the week you get half the excess. Many bar bers can thus make from $20 to $25 or more a week." "Supposing an applicant for a barber's license is able to give one a good shave and hair out, with reasonable attention to cleanliness?" "We note his workmanship and his written answers to the questions. We moke reparate scores and if he makes 70 points in a scale of 100 we grant the cer tificate. But there Is much moro to the barber's business than cutting hair so that It looks all right or In shaving with out pain to the pa tron. Watch that young fellow over there, for instance the one who has the dirty brush. He has trimmed that hair nicely, but how awk ward are his move ment s he fiddles away clumsily' with the shears, and the neck cloth has fallen down from the man's throat to his lap, so that hair and lather "Tin re's in it." billion are being scattered over his coat. We had a man in here a short time ago who has Just graduated from the California Barber School. It would be Impossible for that man to keep a position in any shop on the showing he made here. "It takes years to make a good barber. A few weeks in a 'school' do not fit him. The old way is the best. The young man goes into some good shop and learns grad ually, first how a place should be conduct ed, how patrons should be treated, how to hone and care for tools, and finally tho boss permits him to use a chair to practice on some of his friends who come in to help him out and who are charged noth ing. When he has watched the other barbers and been coached long- enough, with the practice on his friends, he may be permitted to work on a few of the regular customers until at last he can call himself a barber." In the written pxamlnatlon each appll ant Is required to answer 10 of the ques tions at a time. The questions are Inter esting as showing the nature of he re quirements of a barber and are as follows;. SANITARY CARE. OF THE BARBER SHOP. What would be proper sanitary rules fqr a barber-shop?

UNION WAR IN DENVER ENDS Trades Assembly Will Affiliate With American Federation. DENVER, Colo., Dec. 29. The local la bor war is over, and in the future there will be but one trades assembly In Den ver. This condition was brought about by the ratification of a form of settlement by the two assemblies, which have fought against each other bitterly for the past year or more, the plan having been agreed upon by committees appointed for the purpose of deciding upon ways and means of getting together. Affiliation was the rock on which the ship of organized labor foundered a little, over a year ago. The question arose over the Firemen's Union affiliating with the American .Labor Union, an outgrowth of the Western Federation of Miners, or with the American Fedefation of Labor. The demand was made that the firemen join the National body affiliated with the American Labor Union, "and then came the demand that they Join the American Federation of Labor. A dispute arose between the representatives of both or ganizations, which developed into most bitter antagonism. The feeling ran high, and the strife spread as far north as Butte, Mont., and south in.to Texas. Dur ing this struggle dual unions were formed and engendered bitter feeling. The features of the agreement by which the two assemblies unite are very liberal. It is agreed that there shall be a pro vision In the new constitution setting forth the necessity of all craft unions af filiating with their National organizations, and that a standing committee be created to induce loczA unions to so affiliate. It Is also stipulated that the assembly shall affiliate with the American Federation of Labor and the State Federation, and that all organizers must have the approval of tho assembly. All new unions wishing to affiliate with the assembly must be or ganized under Its direct supervision. The question of existing dual unions will be dealt with by an arbitration com mission, composed of equal representation from each local concerned, and these to select a third disinterested party. TOKEN OF GRATITUDE. Splendid Gift by Chinese City to American Consul Fowler. WASHINGTON. Dec. 29. A striking manifestation of the complete confidence which the Chinese feel in the fairness and honesty of purpose and disinterest edness of the United States Government and Its officials, as a result of the Boxer uprising and the subsequent negotiations, Is afforded in a report to the State Der partment descriptive of the presentation of three magnificent silver vases to John Fowler, United States Consul at Che Foo, by the United Guilds of that Chinese city. One of the vases was 18 Inches In height and was said to be the most elaborate piece of silverware ever seen In that city. It was flanked by two smaller vases of the most beautiful design and workman ship. The presentation was mode by C T. Long, president of the United Guilds, who delivered a most Interesting address expressive of the esteem and apprecia tion felt by the Chinese for Mr. Fowler personally, and of the high appreciation of tho good offices of tho United States In China's troubles. Tills was the first Instance of a foreign Consul having been honored by the entire native city, but when the Consul left NIng Po for Chee Foo, every native official was at the dock to bid him goodbye; there were 2000 soldiers lining the road and for IS miles down the river was a continual din from the lunks, etc., until the great forts were reached, when a salute was fired, the first ever delivered In honor of a foreign consul. The presentation of the silverware took place October-1L and besides 10 Chinese gentlemen, there were present leading American citizens of that place, Captain Barry, of the VIcksburg, and several of his officers.

He Overlooked Word "3Iny" in Exe cuting an Order Coroner's Jury Discing Out Facts. WYOMING, Ont, Dec. 29. When the principal witness In the lnauest place, the responsibility of the awful wreck on me urana Trunk at Wanstead had given testimony, a chain of mishaps was unfolded, the absence of any one of which would have tended to prevent the awful scene of death. The principal witness was J. G. Kerr, the London dispatcher, who, up to this time, has been silent. He "No. 5 arrived at London one hour late. I ordered her to Watford for further or ders. I knew the freight was coming. To Carson, at Watford, I wired to have it pass No. 5 at Wanstead. I added, 'wait a minute; may bust It.' This was in the telegraphic cocle. I then started to send a regular order to Carson at Watford to have No. 5 watch for tho Wanstead siding and to have him sign and get Conductor McAulIffe'a signature. He told me No. 5 had cone. I then wired ! Wyomln gto stop the freight, but he also WILL PROBABLY RIGHT REV. DR. DAVIDS OX, BISHOP OF WINCHESTER. LONDON, Dec 20. The man who is most likely to be appointed Archbishop of Canterbury la Dr. Randall Thomas Davidson, Bishop of Manchester. He is CD years old, and after receiving an education at Harrow and Trinity College, Ox ford, was appointed domestic chaplain to the lato Archbishop of Talt In 1877, a position which bo retained under Dr. Talt's successor until he was appointed dean of Windsor and resident chaplain to the Queen In 1SS3. -He was mads Bishop of Rochester in 1S00, and tbence transferred to "Winchester. replied that It had gone. I then tried King's Court, and he said No. 6 had Just gone by. I told the chief dispatcher I was afraid No. 5 would meet with trouble. Then came the news of the wreck at Wanstead, and a request from Assistant Superintendent Costello to send an auxil iary. "I said: T may bust,' but did not, and continued with a regular order to have No. 5 watch for the freight train at Wan stead." William Carson, the Watford, operator, said: "I received a message to have No. 5 watch for the freight at Wanstead, but Kerr said, "Walt a minute,' and then bust,' which meant to destroy the order. In the meantime No. 6 came In and the conductor asked-for orders, for which I had displayed my stop signal, the sema phore. He sold: What orders have you?' I replied: 1 had orders, but they have been busted.' He then asked for a clear ance, whicn I gave him. He added: The boss Is on,' meaning Assistant Superin tendant Costello. I gave him clearance orders. Then Kerr called for a signature to his order, but I said It had been busted. He said no. I told him No. 5 had gone. I heard him calling King's Court to stop No. 5. I opened a commercial wire and tried to get King's Court, but could not. I heard King's Court say later that No. 5 had passed." - PROCEEDINGS AT INQUEST. Dispatcher and Operator Tell of Their Fatal Mlimnderatandingr. WYOMING, Ont., Dec. 29. The Inquest Into the cause of the death of the victims of the recent wreck on the Grand Trunk Railway at Wanstead 'was begun here to day. Dispatcher James Kerr, who sent the train order from London, testified that he sent orders to the Watford and Wyo ming operators simultaneously to have the express meet the freight at Wan stead. Shortly after, Wyoming reported to the dispatcher that the freight was slow In getting out, but.Kerr's order was properly repeated back by both operators, and Kerr marked It "O. K." Kerr asked Wyoming why the freight was slow In getting out. Wyoming re plied that he did not know. Kerr then called Watford and asked If No. 5 was coming. Watford replied "Yes," and Kerr said: . "Minute may bust It." Wyoming then reported the freight pulling out. Kerr said: "Let her go." He then called the Watford operator, who reported that No. 5 had gone, and that- he had busted the order for No. 5. Kerr then called Wyoming and told him to stop the freight. Wyoming answered: "I can't." Kerr said: "You must stop her." Kerr then called King's Court for seven or eight minutes before raising that office. King's Court reported that No. 5 had passed. In a few minutes Wanstead called the dispatcher, asking If the trains were to cross at Wanstead, as he had heard a noise and had run from his house, think ing there was trouble. In a few min utes Assistant Superintendent Costello, who was on the express train, called Kerr and asked for the auxiliary to be sent, as a collision had occurred. W. J. Hanna, who appeared for Carson, the station agent at Watford, cross-examined Kerr. At the afternoon session Dispatcher Kerr was recalled. Solicitor Pope, of the Grand Trunk, put him through a lengthy examination on the subject of tho com pany's rules for operators and dispatchers. The witness would not say that the King's Court operator, James Troyer, was remiss In his duties. Andrew Carson, the Watford operator, at whose door is laid the responsibility of the accident by the Grand Trunk offi cials, followed Kerr on the stand. He appeared to be cool and collected. He got the order for the two trains to pass at Wanstead, he said, and displayed the order board to stop the express. Soon after, he heard Wyoming tell of the de lay to the freight, and then the London dispatcher called the witness and said: "Bust It." He did not hear the .word "may" preceding the "Bust it." The ex press had stopped and the-, conductor anked for his order, but the witness told hIm 11 had been canceled and gave the conductor i clearance order. "Bust It." Is a common form of cancellation of or ders, he said. He did not get a formal ordor busting it. There was no written record of the order "bust It," The inquest then adjourned, until to morrow. Injnred Are Recoveries. LONDON, Ont, Dec. 29. It was re ported by the house surgeon at Victoria Hospital that tho condition of the In jured of the wreck was gratifying. All of them Improved during the day with the exception of Alexander M. Stewart of Chicago, who is very low'. The seriously Injured Francis Baker, of London; John Bird, of Chicago; James Burns, of Wood stock, and Flossie Cuthbertson, of Port Huron have Improved wonderfully, and are expected to recover. SKOW STORM THE CAUSE. If It Had Not Blinded Engineer. Wreck Would Have Deen Averted. MONTREAL, Dec. 29. Mr. McGuIgan, manager of tho Grand Trunk Railroad, In a statement explains that, had It not been for tho blinding snow storm, the Wanstead accident would .have been averted, as the road between Wanstead and Watford Is perfectly straight. The conductor, Mr. McGuIgan says, certainly went Into the telegraph office at Watford and obtained his clearance order. If the operator has an order which, lie claims, cancelled the 'original one, he must pro- BE ARCHBISHOP. duce Jt After the Coroner's Inquest Is concluded, the Grand Trunk will Insti tute an investigation. "In the meantime," said Mr. McGuIgan, "I don't feel Justified In making any further charges, but I will say that, so far as wo can ascertain, no superior offi cer of the road Is to blame." The loss of property will not exceed $10,000 or $15,000, but the company ex pects It will have to face a loss of $250,000 by the time the claims havo been settled. There can be no "blame attached to the engineer, McKenzle, Mr. McGuIgan says, and the charge that he was overworked Is not true. COLLISION ON THE SANTA FE. Engineer Killed,.
