BRADY WANTS HIS MONEY.

BRADY WANTS HIS MONEY. Time was when Billy Brady, Jim Kennedy and Pat Powers were as brothers Now they are sworn enc mics and all because Brady thinks it is about time he received his share of the profits of the six-day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden recently. Brady Kennedy and Powers formed
 combination for the purpose of pro noting sporting events and dealt large
 ly in cakewalks and bicycle races. All went well until the bicycle race in Madison Square Garden last month. Brady failed to get his share of the receipts and brought suit for dlSso- lution of the partnership. He also asks that receiver be appointed to take charge of the moneys belonging 1 to the combination.
 Before Justice TruaX, in the Su- preme court yesterday, Brady applied l for an injunction, pending trial, to re- | strain Kennedy and Powers from dis posing of the moneys ill their hands | and for temporary receiver An adj | iournment was asked for by counsel | for Kennedy on the ground that he | had not time to prepare his reply to l the motion and could not argue the case. David Graber. on behalf of BraUN- opposed tiuN auJouIHIHeul. al- | leging that he feared Kennedy would 1 leave the state and take the money with him. so that when the receiver was appointed here there would be nothing for him to receive. He add l cj; that he defendant. Powers, had re- nained out of the state to avoid Ser- l vice of the papers. Justice TruaN granted q pOStpOnement until Thurs | day
 Brady says that the profits of the siX-day cycle race exceeded S12O0O, | and that he has been unable to induce Kennedy to divide the money, Ken nedy claiming the delay was due to Powers When Brady found Kennedy was about to start for California he brought suit.
 Jimmy Michael announced yester-
 day that he was through with Jim Kennedy, and would be his own man. ager hereafter. Michael and Harry Bikes have become fast friends and are going to Hot Springs, Ark, this week after q visit to the home of Bikes at Glen Falls. They will spend q couple of weeks in training at the springs, and then go to Jacksonville for the winter racing. McEachren, NValthour and several others of the fast bunch are also going to Jackson vile.
 There is need of q radical move in the administration of l.. A. w. affairs. The fact seems to be that the price of membership, $1, is not enough to cover running expenses and give the members what they want in the way of benefits, such as road books, sign boards and legislative work. Many thing an increase in the dues to S1oO would be the best solution and that
 it would then be possible to make it
 well worth the while of every one to be a member. Others think that it would be wise to do away with the state division organizations and let the national executive manage every | thing. This would give the national organization the So cents per member
 that is paid to the state divisions. Others think that it would be better to reduce the national body to a skele ton. with a secretary having nothing to do except issue tickets, and take a good part of the 40 cents that goes to the national treasury for the work of the state organizations. One Of the two measures seems necessary, for as at present conducted, neither the na- tional nor the divisions get enough of the 75 cents that is left after 25 cents of every dollar received for dues has been paid to the publishers of the
 Bulletin. A publication patterned
 after the C.. T. c. of England. that is alone worth the price of member ship would seem to offer a solution of the problem, but to get out such q weekly the dues would have to be in creased.
 Because of what seems a reliable canvass of the situaIlon. the officials of the New York state division have come to the conclusion that H. $. Earle, chief consul of Michigan. will | be elected president of the l.. A. w. at the national assembly when it
 meets at Philadelphia on February E. The western members seem to be solid for him, and confident of his election. They have not enough votes in the assembly to elect q president without the aid Of eastern states. such as New York, Massachusetts or Penn Sylyania. New York has not made any deal, and it can hardly be that the Bay State men have, because they have a candidatae of their own, so it
 is believed here that Pennsylvania is with the west for Earle. The New
 England vote will probably be split, as q number of the leaders are op- posed to the rule of Secretary Bassett. It is thought possible that the office of secretary and treasurer will be com
 bined. and that it will not go to Bas
