THE UNION CLUB WILL NOT MOVE.
N IMPORTANT MEETING DECIDES THE CUES


TIoN FOR A TINE, AT LEAST
The general meeting held last night by the union
Club had little business to dispose of beyond the cleo
ton OF members and the removal question. Last
spring. when the Manhattan Club negotiating Tor
the Stewart mansion committee Of the Union Ciuo
came forward and outlid the Manhattan by con-
siderable sum. The Manhattan Club took OK
captions to such action and some correspondence
passed between the two organizations. The result
was thai certain faction of the Union Club openly
criticised the action OF the clubs committee as
hardly consistent with the amicablc relations which
were supposed TO exist between the two organiza-
lions. When the meeting Of the Union Ciup 'ooh

parties, one in support Of the committee anu Vi

suited in a decision to lay the Stewart house prop'

the Manhattan people chance TO fulfil their plans ior

great expense necessarily attached TO removal would
not be warranted by the advantages of a change.

HE HELD THE BIBLE FOE WASHINGTON.
GENERAL WEBB, WHOSE GRANDFATHER WAS
MARSHAL AT wAsHINGToN's INAUGURA
TION, Is MADE A MEMBER Oh THE
CELEBRATION COMMITTEE.

An extremely interesting incident In connection Win
the preparations for the Centennial Celebration OF
Washngtons Inauguration President of the United
States is the election Of General Alexander 5. Webb
president Of the College Of the City of Ncw-lorh as
a member of the committee which viii have the
celebration In charge. General Webb, besides being
gallant soldier who fought bravely at Gettysburg and
on many another battle field of the Rebellion, Is the
son of General James Watson Webb, whose father
was Grand Marshal of the day on tho historical &C.
casion that is to be celebrated in April.
The following extract from the notes OF Genera
James Watson Webb, who was Editor of The Courier
and Enqulrcr,- will prove OF interest al this time:
At the first Inauguration OF Washington, as President
OF the United States, my father grand marshal or
the day. and General Morgan Lewis and Colonel Richard
Plat were marshaIS The semicentennal
anniversary OF that event was celebrated in New York
in 1899 and Johu quincy Adams, ex-President OF the
United States, the orator OF the day. On that

am aware that this has been attributed to another
but in view the fact that my father was the grand
marshal day and OF the high character OF Colonel

the accuracy OF tho statement.

minutes. Prominent party leaders have sgnlfed their

DID WILSON KNOW FREEMAN WAS CRIPPLED

DID WILSON KNOW FREEMAN WAS CRIPPLED
Tho recent trouble between Rudolph Aronson and
Francis Wilson the chorus girls OF the Nadjy'
company I'm Chicago has caused no end OF talk In local
theatrical circles Most of the comment, however, Is
directed toward Wilson'S assault upon Max Freeman
the latter carried out the orders of his chief
I'm serving the notice OF dismissal on the girls ca
"a, ed by Wilson for his company next season.
One well known manager, in speaking OF The case
yesterday, said I" 1t may not be generally known
that Freeman has hand paralyzed and that three
of the fingers false but It is quite certain that
wilson knew of this. He has been associated In the
same company with Freeman for two years and must
have been aware of his advantage when he struck
Freeman and followed this up by knocking him down
several times"
Another welLinformed person said that Wilson's
object in engaging the chorus girls he did was to
save time He leaves Aronsons company on May
s. and has to open at the broadway Theatre In The
Ooao ten days later As that is hardly enough time In
which TO prepare for any new production, Mr. wilson
thought to improve his opportunities by engaging his
people from the Same company with which he was
travelling and rehearse his own opera on the road
In addition to that, says this same oracle wilson
wrote to some Of the principals in the company now

His offers, however, were declined.

SELECTIONS FROM The MAIL.
THE TRUE POLITICAL ECONOMY.

To Ms Editor or The Trt0nns
Sir Every wage-earner in the United States should
thank you most heartily for the earnest and unrng
manner In which you have advocated protection TO
American labor, from the day that President Ceve-
land sent his free trade message to Congress to the
day OF HIS defeat Presidential candidate think
Il IS peculiarly gratifying TO the "Tippecanoe and
Tyler too- men OF 1910 that The Tribune OF the
people has held to the policy of protection to
home industries that was ably and powerfully
advocated through many years by Horace Greeley.
May the prosperity OF The Tribune increase and may 1t
find its way into the homes Of the South, and take
to them the true principles Of political economy as
taught by the fathers OF our Republic, ana eInpha
