SOUBRETTES NEARLY FIGHT
over YOUNG WILLIAM BARRY.

William Barry, the young comedian
who played a weeks engagement at Lo-
throps early this season, was honor
ably discharged from custody in New
York Monday. His wife, Mildred, failed
to convince Magistrate Bremen that
she had been neglected or abandoned
by him. The young woman's admission
that Barry had given her $40 about a
week ago, killed her case against him.
The controversy between the come
dian and the little soubrette nearly
brought on a personal encounter be-
tween the latter and her r-in-law,
Mrs. George Felix Lydia Barry, in
front of Hyde & Behman's theatre. The
arrival of Patroaman Mutually warded
off a clash.
Several days ago, it will be recalled,
Mrs Barry procured a warrant for the
arrest of comedian Barry, alleging that
he had abandoned her in-New Bruins
wick and had not supported her in sew
eral weeks. The examination came up
in the Adams street court today. Mrs
Barry went on the stand and repeated

made when she first appeared in court

Post Office Clerks Association Cannot
Agree Upon Constitution.

SSl ClllCC SiCThS ASSOCldLiOn OdHHOI
Agree Upon Constitution.
There seems to be trouble ahead for
the United National Post Office Clerks
Association which was formed in New
York a few weeks ago. Sunday, in
New York, an attempt was made to
bridge over the chasm which existed
between the United and National as
sociations, but was without the de-
sired result.
The trouble is not considered serious
by Mark N. Skerrett of Worcester, who
is national secretary of the new assoc
citation, and he sees where it can be
easily adjusted. A clause in the con-
stitution of the new association, which
says that superintendents, heads of
departments and finance clerks shall
not be admitted to membership in the
new organization, is the cause. More
than 200 clerks in New York Joined the
new association, but a branch Of the
old National met and refused to con-
slider the new constitution. The new
association will get out organizers,
however and it is expected that its
path will be clear as soon as it's OBJ
1ects and aims are properly understood.

a window was found pried open. 1t is
thought that youngsters playing around
the place set it on fire. The ruins of
the fire in Dexter building, on Main

night, make it impossible for anything
to be determined by an examination.
