Mr.. HAYDEN CLAIMS DAMAGES.



AS the outcome of the recent unpleas-
antness In connection with the Office of
secretary of the National Geographic So
ciety, two suits at law to recover damages
have been instituted by the former secre-
tary, Everett Hayden. In one declaration,
by which it is sought to recover $1,000
the defendants named are Henry Gannett,
Frederick Haynes Newell, w. j. MCGEE,
Marcus Baker, Clinton Hart Merriam,
David T. Day and John Hyde. In the
other, by which the plaintiff desires 10 re-
cover $l5,Ooo. Adolphus w. Greedy, Henry
Gannett and w. ]. MCGEE are named as
defendants.
In the declaration first mentioned Mr.
Hayden recites that he was duly elected
secretary of the National Geographic So
ciety, receiving a salary of 81 $50 a year.
He at all times. he declares, fairly and
honestly performed his duties, yet the de-
PENDANTS. maliciously intending to injure
him, and to cause 1t to be suspected that
he had been guilty of violating the trust
and confidence imposed in him, published
defamatory libel In connection with GER
tain proposed amendments to bylaws. con-
GLIDING with the sentence: 1--WE feel that
the secretary, in taking this course. has
violated the confidence Of the members Of
the board"
Mr.. Hayden goes on to say that the de-
PENDANTS meant by their publication that
he as secretary OF the society, had dishon-
estly, covertly and unlawfully done certain
acts and things in violation Of the acts and
duties with the performance of which he
was intrusted. In addition to being greatly
injured, Mr.. Hayden adds he has been re-
quired to resign the office of secretary and
prevented from earning the salary attach
ed thereto.
The declaration in connection with the
second suit is, in general way, similar to
the foregoing. except that the form of the
alleged libel Is different. The defendants.
1t is charged published a notice conveying
the meaning that Mr.. Hayden had dishon-
estly, covertly and unlawfully caused 1t
to be announced In the public press that a
certain lecture OF DIR. Nansen would be
given under the auspices of the National
Geographic Society.
McCammon & Hayden are the attorneys
for the plaintiff.

ninety days by Judge Scott for assaulttng
Charles Quinn in the Temporary Home for
Soldiers on Missouri avenue The testi-
n:ony showed that Herbert is a desperate

the alleged offense. He denied the charge,
however, and told the court that he was
unable to use his right hand in which he
was wounded during the war and therefore
could lot fight.
