CALLS FLATIRON
BUILDING A NUISANCE
New York Merchant Says It Defects
Wind and Damages His Property.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The fatiron
building is a public nuisance" is the
charge to be made in a $4,000 damage
suit brought by Gibson N. Vincent,
clothing merchant. He alleges that on
different occasions the wine has been
so DETECTED by the f1atfron that plate
glass windows in front of his store
were smashed, allowing his stock to be
damaged. Mr.. Vincent sets forth that
the natiron 'is Of an extremely peeu-
liar and unusual shape and air cur
rents sweeping around the structure
perform some fearful and wonderful
tricks. So fierce has become the dis
turbance at times that pedestrians
have been hurled Violently to the side
walk" Mr.. Vincent's bin Of complaint
declares that the f1atiron building is
when the wind blows from a northeast
eEly direction against theehigh easter1y
wall of the building such wind is d.
verted with great force and violence
down and into the street." Mr.. Vim
cent said that after the winds second
offense he consulted his attorney, who
told him such a case was without prec-
edent, but he believed he had a just
claim for damages.
Il take it, said Mr. Vincent, that
owners of the fatiron have corralIed
the wind and dumped it over on me
and that it is the same as If they had
flooded my place with water. 1 don't
know when the wind is going to blow.
There. rs no telling what's going to
happen. If they had corralled the sun
and directed it's rays into my store and
damaged my stock would have ground
for damages. Well have a new sort Of
experts on the stand to testify about
air currents. Well have architects
who have investigated the situation
and who will be able to describe ac-
curately the gymnastic stunts of the
wind

DELEGATE FROM ARGENTINA
SUBMITS HIS RESIGNATION
Customs Congress Doesn't Want to
Monkey With Monroe Doctrine.

NEW YORK, Jan. Pat the ses-
sion of the customs congress of Amer
lean republics today DR.. R. Alvarez de
Toledo, delegate from Argentina, sub
mitted his resignation. In the accom-
panying letter he said he was unable
to sign the report of the special COM
mittee appointed to consider the reso-
luton submitted to congress by him at
its last meeting and that he under
stood that his resignation would act
as a withdrawal Of the resolution. .
The resolution in question was that
which declared that the Monroe doe
trine ought to be extended to have
commercial application as well as po-
htical. The special committee, how
ever, reported, expressing sympathy
with the resolution SO far as h pur-
port was to extend and cement the po-
itical and commercial relations Of the
republics. The report continues that
the committee believes the matters in
volved in the resolution call for the ex-
erc1se of the treaty making powers of
the countries and hence were foreign
to the jurisdiction of the congress-. 1t
was therefore recommended that the
resolution be referred to the govern
ments represented. The report was
laid on the table.

SAY r u SOLD OUT
AT MINNEAPOLIS
But, as TiIIman Says, the Real op-
position Is Because of His Color.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 22.-The
nomination of DR.. w. D.. Crum, color
ed. to be collector Of the port at
Charleston, S. c., was the subject of
an hours hearing today by the senate
committee on commerce before which
the nomination is pending. Senator
T1llman, Mayor Smith, Of Charleston,
and Col. j. c. Hemphill appeared in
opposition to confirmation. They pre-
ferred charges that Crum had sold out
as a delegate to the Minneapolis Re
publican convention, and in support of
this charge read an affidavit in which
it was declared that he had been sent
to the convention as a Harrison dele
gate, but had shifted to the support of
Blaine on the promise of appointment
to the position of postmaster.
1t was made quite plain, however,
that the principal opposition was be-
cause of Crum's color, and Senator
Tillman admitted as much. He told
the committee that the people of the
South did not want their offices filled
by negroes, and" he said, so long
as they are so filled there will be
trouble. Oil and water will not unite
Ex-Gov. B.. FL. Pinchback, Of Louis
lana, and Representative Mckinley,
formerly Of South Carolina, both col
ored, appeared for DIR. Crum. They
declared that the charge Of selling out
at Minneapolis was unfounded, and
eulogized Crum as a man of education
I'M character. The committee ad-
journed without action.

MAJ. LYNCH SEEKS REFUGE
IN THE NATURALIZATION ACT
But This Does Not Avail, the Court
Ruling Adversely.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The court in
which Co. Arthur Lynch, member OF
parliament for Galway, is being tried
on the charge of high treason was
again crowded today. After reading
the deposition of an American, Lewis
Handley, who said Col. Lynch had
compelled him to take up arms. in be-
half of the Beers at Glencoe, but who
had got off through the intervention Of
n American consul, counsel for the
defense submitted that the prisoner
was protected by the naturalization
laws. He claimed thai a nan was en-
titled to become an alien 1t any time,
even after the outbreak of war. Coun-
sci contended that Col. Lynch took up
out secrecy and under the mistaken
belief that the naturalization act per-
mltted this. In any event, counsel add
ed, If the court decided the prisoner
was a British subject he ought to be
tried in Australia, where he was. born.
The attorney general, Sir Robert
Finley, argued hat Col. Lynch procur-
ed naturalization for the purpose of
hghtlng against his own country, and
even could naturalization cover the
prisoners subsequent actions, it could
not his anterior reason, namely.
adhering to the Queens enemy and
declaring his willingness to fight
against her forces"
The court decided that the natural
lzation act afforded no defense. Nat
uralization was preceded by taking an
oath of allegiance to the enemy, which
was a reasonable action.
