DESTROYS INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM
Bishop Potter Sees Stumbling Block
for Organized Labor.

Orange, N. j., May 22.-Speaking on
labor unions at a dinner of the Civic
club of Orange Bishop Henry c. Pot
ter said the conditions which confront
the people of America today are large
ly of their own making. He declared
that one person had more to do with
the situation than any one else and
that was the manager Of a shop or
factory, not because he tried to un-
derstand the interests of tSe working
man, but because he wanted to get
out of the workingman all he possibly
could for the benefit of his employer
nothing more.
Il believe" said Bishop Potter, the
folly of the labor organizations in sew
eral instances has alienated a great
deal of the sympathy that would other
wise have gone TO them. One thing
we must realize is that the community
is not made up of either laborers or
capitalists, but rather of those be
tween. who are very largely a1ected
by these differences.
The time may come when organized
labor may make itself so unpleasant
that il may not be able to stay in New
York. The great stumbling block III
organized labor is that the freedom
of the individual is invaded and that
has got to be corrected"

Special Agent James Ford, who has
caused Nelson's arrest.
Mr. Ford said that the man had
three stereotyped forms of letters
one asking for work, another asking

personal appointment. His plea was
always the same. Mr.. Ford says. He
was a Dane and an eX-army officer

deeming these pledges had nearly ex-
pired.
Nelson said that it was his mar.

to court, where she declared that she
had no knowledge that he had ever
written any such letters.

The defense was that the child was

verdict gives him the title, through
the child born to his wife.
Robinson gave positive testimony
that the child was born to his wife
and that she had nurssd the baby

testified to by other witnesses.
On the other hand a sister of Mrs
Robinson and Mrs. Methepy was pres

ures From Europe.

New York, May 22.-Under the dcs-
ignation. household effects, }. L.
Morgan will be able to bring into TINS
country most of his art treasures thai
are now scattered through the mu-
seums of Europe or are in his London
house. Mr.. Morgan has ordered his
agents to gather together all his paint
ings, bric-&-brac and antiques and II
is believed Americans will have an
opportunity of seeing one of the hnest
private collections in the world.
These objects OF art are appraised
az not less than $2.00o,000 and had
Mr.. Morgan imported them year ago
he would have been obliged to pay
almost S300. 600 as duty.
Many OF the paintings and smaller
antiques have been in Mr.. Morgan
Park lane house for more than year
and, therefore, come under the heao
of "household effects" which are mol
dutiable. 1t is said Mr.. Morgan's lease
OF a fine home in Park lane was made
more with a view to obtaining lega
residence for his valuable art treas
ures than to have dwelling hous'

department. Postmaster Genera
Payne announced that this deficiency
now aggregates exactly S227,i67. OF
which sl05,000 is in the free delivery
branch and $121 500 in the rural free
delivery service. The postmaster gen

existence OF the deficit and for the
first time publicly criticised the ad.
ministration of A. W. Machen, the
general superintendent of the free de
livery system, who is out on indefinite
leave of absence.

puests of honor were assigned their
places at the head of the board, and
the others filed in and took their re-
spective places. Rev. Joss invoked
the blessing.
The supper was a success and the
menu a novelty, each course ostensi-
bly being a product of some particular
locality in North Dakota. The fish

not get the judges speech, but he an
