SEQ 900 TIED UP TIC HI.
The Money Was RAISED by knights OF Labor.
but the Rank Won't Give IL Up.

The Knights OF Labor are p~uzzling their
brains in the effort TO devise means Of getting
possession of 500. 900 which was deposited in a
Paterson, y. j., bank some time ago by II mixed
trades district assembly of that city. At tn,
time the money WAS deposited the mixed dis
triCt assembly was very prosperous and had
collected the money to build n labor hall. Short
ly aftcrward some of the local assemblies with
drew from tho mixed district and organized
II trade district. Then the locals belonging to
the new district assembly demanded their
share of tho 10000. When tho demand was
refused they secured an injunction restraining
the bank from paying out any OF the money,
During the fight for possession Of the funds the
two district assemblies went to pieces.
Now tho general officers OF the Knights want
to secure the money for the benefit OF the order
in general. When they. made n demand upCI
rant. The General Executive Board could show
nothing in writing that entitled them to the
money. and there The matter rests while the
money continues to draw interest.
An attempt is To he made now to rc-unite the
two district assemblies so That the money can
be withdrawn from the bank. This compliCa-
ton is tho explanation given by the general
officers for II demand they made recently that
the officers OF each local and district assembly
give n bond plcdging themselves that in case OF
an assembly disbanding, Its property shall he
forwarded 10 the general officers forming the
General Executive Board.

A CLUE SUES FOR A TROPHY.
Decision That It Was Held Illegally BY Irving
Conklin md His Mother.

HA%cKENsAcK. July 1.-THE Oritani Field
Club members had an interesting session with
Justice Heath last night. The club officers had
brought nm action in tort against William Bell.
Irving Conklin and Mrs. John Il. Conklin. the
young mans mother. Last February there was
a shoot for the Oritani Gun Club trophy. Young
Conklin left town in the morning because the
weather was bad and he did not think the shoot
would take place. As the weather cleared before
noon the shoot proceeded. and George Ricardo,
Jr.. won. Ricardo and Conklin had previously
won the cup twice each. and this shoot made
Ricardo the owner under tho rules. But Conklin
protested the shoot as irregular. and Ricardo
could not get the cup.
William Bell, who had won tho trophy ut the
previous shoot. was said to have turned it over
TO Conklin, who. with his mother. refused to
surrender il. For these reasons tho three per-
sons were made defendants in an action brought
by the club officers for the value of the cup.
Ernest Rooster represented the Field Club.
while Prosecutor Stage appeared for the de-
PENDANTS. and there was an exciting trial, with II
large attendance OF club men and other citizens.
Justice Heath was somewhat confused by tho
volumes OF law hurled at him BY the counsel
and the manner in which tho witnesses wcre
handled. but after n long session hedecided that
the Field Club WAS entitled TO the cup or its
value. which was placed at go. The defendants
say they will appeal to the higher court.
