ing Him for Heresy.
Senator p. H. McCarren, the leader Of the
Kings county Democracy, has returned
from his post-election trip to the West.
He gets back in fine fettle but Indignantly
spurns the idea entertained by some Of his
friends that he has become fat and lost his
delicate grace Of outline. He was euthu-
siastic over his Western trip and recalled
his delight at viewing the petrified forests
Of Arizona and the Grand Canon. He said
he had seen the Indians, but he saved his
scalp and hoped to keep IL a while longer.
During a brief visit to Democratic head
quarters in Brooklyn Senator McCarren
made this statement about his heresy trial
before a subcommittee OF the State COM
mittee:
Il think 1 will go before the committee
II am wanted. I shall employ counsel
or rather the regular law committee OF the
organization will provide counsel. l shall
inform the committee that the only official
action taken by the Kings county Demo-
cratic organization was its ratification Of
the Buffalo convention and the State ticket.
I shall insist upon my right as an American
citizen to think as l please and to give ex-
preston to my thoughts. l will not be at all
displeased to have an opportunity to ad-
dress. the committee"

SINGER SUES "
Leon Rennay Game Over TO Go on -Four,
which He says wasn't Fulnlled.


which He says wasn't FULFILLED.
Leon Rennay. who came to America to
sing has remained to sue Rudolph Aronson
in the Supreme Court for breach Of con-
tract. Rennay asserts that he n Aronson
signed an agreement in London last May
whereby the b~arytone was to give at least
twenty concerts in the United States and
Canada, beginning in October. He says
that Aronson took a deposit of 81 900 in cash
and then went back on him.
When IL came time to sail for this country
the singer asserts Aronson cooled and
advised him not to start until January.
He came ahead, though, and found, he says,
that Aronson instead of having arranged
a tour wanted him to go back TO England
and return in January. BY that time,
Rennay says, Aronson agreed to nave him
properly doomed by the newspapers, with
reporters to meet him at the dock.
Rennay insisted on the terms OF his con-
tract and has brought suit because no other
satisfaction is in sight. He asks, through
his attorney Louis Steckler, for IS, 1000,
which Includes the 81 600 deposit.
Leon Rennay is often referred to as a
Frenchman; instead, he is an American
who mas studied and sung abroad for ten
years.

BAILEY THREATENS ACC USERS.
VIII Prosecute for Perjury Any one Who
Says He Got waters-Pierce Money.


Houston, Tex, Nov. Ex-senator Joseph
W. Bailey declares that Attorney-General
Davidson is in a conspiracy against him.
In a te~legraphed statement bearing a WASH
ington date the Senator threatens TO prose-
cute for perjury any person who testifies
that there are in existence any vouchers
for moneys paid to him by the Waters
Pierce Oil Company.
He adds that IL any such vouchers exist
they are forgeries, and says if any n has
made a statement that such papers exist
he has perpetrated an unqualified and de-
hberate lie" After injecting a counter
charge that the brewing interests
contributed largely to the work Of
placing Attorney-Gen Davidson in
Office and that the latter's department had
for some time been waging a political war
on him, the Senator declared that mo mat
ter II the statements made by the Attorney
General were true land he denounced them
as entirely fRlse) they would have no pos
sible bearing on the suit against the Waters
Pierce Oil Company" But, having been
dragged into that suit for political effect,
he will leave the national capital for the
Texas capital to-day, to stay at Austin until
this matter has been settled finally"

A lockout Of 900 chandelier makers by
five firms because Of a strike against Edward

was extended yesterday until the 200 men
in various bran ches are locked out. In a
short time several thousand more workers
in other branches in the trade may be thrown
into involuntary idleness.
The Christmas trade will be affected
unless the dispute is ended soon. The
reason given by the employers for the
lockout is that the emand made by the
strikers are unusual and unreasonable and
that IL they were granted any member OF
the employers association would be liable
at any time to face similar demands.
The demands OF the strikers are that no
pay be deducted from employees who are
late on Saturdays, that supper hour be
included in pay for overtime, that an en-
ployee who was discharged for refusing to
work overtime on the conditions prevailing
in the factory he reinstatcd and thai the
EMPLOYEES would refuse TO work with two
men whom they named. The company
conceded the first two demands before the
strike and refused 10 grant the last two.

Jingent, and his team mates took the ex-

had little difficulty in winning.
Eastern Looked Strong.
The manner n which Eastern had
pushed the strong Technical team in the
first game of the series on last Tuesday
gave the Fasteners confidence. and had
1t not been for costly errors the little
Light Blue and White southpaw would
have held the o streeters to a much
closer score. The twirling honors were
evenly divided between Dodd and little
Sidney Willis up to the third. but after
that with the exception Of a number Of
passes the Central man had the ad-
vantage.
Central was Handicapped from the first
by the abseEce of Bristow behind the
bat. Rihl who took his place was pain
fully injured by a foul tip and had to
be taken out Captain Willis came in
from second and did the receiving after
the accident. Hunter taking his place

the spectacular catch made by Bristol

fielder, after a hard run squeezed the
ball, turned a handspring and came up
