' LOWED ON FLATFORM SOON Company Property Along Jefferson to Be Fenced In Immediately Said to Be Precaution Against Trouble Be cause Strikers Will Not Keep Away l ; From the Depot and Company' Grounds. . " Barricades that will effectually keep the non-traveling public off the de pot platform are to be constructed by the O.-W. Stakes marking the lo cation of the fence were placed today and will run from the south corner of the freight depot and proceed paral lel to the street to the platform of tie Bolton Bodmer warehouse.' Gates will be provided for at several places one of them allowing an entrance on the Sidewalk leading from Depot street and the express office to the O.-W. platform proper. : As yet no ex act plans are announced as to the han dling of" the public but some system atized method of allowing those who have tickets to go out oa the platform will be allowed. It is probable that the general public will nave' access only to the waiting rooms of the de pot and that to get out on the depot patform it will be necessary to show tickets, a"mehod In "vogue on union depot ' platforms. These m1nor i de tails' are' not announced but that the fence Is going "up is an assured fact. It will keep teams and automobiles oa Jefferson avenue, and will shut off from view all. trains as they come In, xcept to those who are allowed cm the platform. ' '. ,.' It Is said that the barricade Is be ' ing built as a precaution against trouble. The strikers tlo not obey the mandate ordering them off com pany property and that' the fence is being built to keep others than those who are traveling, 'off the company property which extends to the middle of Jefferson avenue. By the time the fence Is complete, which will be soon, ' regulations covering the situation w'V; be made known. , , s .. With the two buildings the freight housK) on one end and the Boltcn- Bodmer ware house on the other, and the block or more of fence a barri t&de will be established that Is fully two blocks and two streets in length.

Uncertaintleff still prevail relative to the automobile delivery system under consideration by merchants and groc ers of the city. A meeting was held laat night and, It 4a doubtful if the sys tern Is put on for another month. Detfl nlte announcement as to tbe adoption or rejection of the plan will be made soon, however. Four deliveries to the central residence districts and two to the most remote are outlined and four automobiles will carry the de liveries from all the stores belonging to the service If adopted. The in creased number of deliveries and the peed with which they would be en acted leads to the belief that the plan would be general.
