sented by Patrick j. Golden.

sented by Patrick j. Golden.
Patrick j. Golden Of s22 North Seventh

the County Court in Brooklyn yesterday
afternoon. Emile Gudsko, a butcher Of
South First and Berry streets, was the COM
planning witness. Gudsko had trouble with
a girl, who sued him for breach Of promise
Of marriage. He consulted Golden, who
told him he was a man of influence and

quently Gudsko was compelled to marry the
woman, and some time later he began an
action for divorce and the matter was re-
ferred to a referee, who, after hearing the
case, referred the matter to District Attor-
ney Clarke, who took 1t before the Grand
Jury and Golden was indicted for grand
larceny on a specific charge Of obtaining
$500 from Gudsko.
Assistant District Attorney Mccartney
brought out in the testimony that Golden
had told Gudsko that he could get him out
of his troubles. but that he would have
to put up considerable money. After
Gudsko had paid Golden 5000 and there
was no more money and the butcher shop
had to be closed Gudsko ascertained that
he had been an easy mark.
Some OF the expenses which Golden told
Gudsko he had been put to In his behalf

fuence Judges, 500; to doctor, $500; to

forth sounds like those from the Polo
Grounds last night when Tony celebrated
the forty-frst anniversary Of his start as a

MUM when the frat stunt came on, at s:16.
In the boxes and front rows OF seats were
many old time actors and politicians.
When the fourth turn came on the two
small boys who put out the stage announce
ments slipped out and hung up the simple
sign tony Pastor. The house let loose.
Tony came out and the audience stood on
it's feet and let 60 some more. After tho
audience had cheered itself hoarse Mr..
Pastor said:
Il am very much obliged for your kind
welcome and I hope o won't be disap-
pointed. I'm going to sing you a song I
sang Just forty-one year ago tonight,
'Sarah's Young Man. just forty-one years
ago tonight I embarked with nothing but
this song for Paterson, and I've been at it
ever since. III sing one verRe and maybe
more. All right, professor
Mr.. Pastor. although more than 10 years
of age, showed tho audience that he still
retains q singing voioe better than some
heard on the vaudeville stage Of to-day.
When he finished the house again let go,
and when Tony came on for his encore with
a few old time dancing steps it let 60 a third
time.
"I'l sing an old song I used to sing down
ON the Bowery that some Of you may re-
member he announced. I'm pleased to
see many here who used to st up in my old
Bowery gallery and sing it with me. They're
gone higher still. some Of them. There's
Senator Grady out there and-wel. l won't
name more, but zee II you remember the
old chorus to Down in the Coal Mine"
The audience caught on and fairly shrieked
the chorus.
After the song was finished down the
aisles came the ushers carrying wreaths,
horseshoes and baskets Of flowers, until
when they were all placed on the stage
Mr.. Pastor was surrounded by a wall of
flowers. The orchestra struck up Aud
Lang Syne" and the audience Joined in.
Major Burke, an old time variety actor,
came out and faced Mr.. Pastor.
-On behalf Of the White Rats Of America
I ask you to accept this basket Of flowers
as emblematio OF our friendship and with
that a large basket Of American Beauty
roses, with a white rat for a o~entrepiece,
was presented to Mr.. Pastor.

AMBASSADOR FROM CANADA
London Mail suEEests that Man from
Dominion Represent Great Brit
ain at washington.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Daily Mail this
morning takes up the agitation for the ap-
pOntment Of a Canadian as ambassador at
Washington in succession to Sir Mortimer
Durand. In an editorial the paper says:
Ii would be a wise course II the govern
ment Is anxious TO consolidate the empire.
Canada has suffered In the past through
the Ignorance or shortcomings OF British
dlplomatists; witness the Ashburton treaty
OF 1S42 (as TO the boundary line between
Maine and Canada). the oregon agreement
OF 1916 "a territorial dispute between Great
Britain and the United States which was
settled by treaty., and the Alaska boundary
arbitration. Never was there such an Op-
portunity for repairing these mistakes. II
cannot be alleged that a Canadian as am
bassador would be likely TO take up an
eXtraVaFant or dangerous position In his
treatment OF questions between the United
states and Canada. The Canadian frontier
is 3,CO0 miles long and II could be defended
only with difficulty. Canada Is so much
weaker than the United States that II will
never provoke a quarrel It's enormous and
rapid expansion justihes It's claim to a
larger share IN the conduct OF the imperial
policy and the time has arrived TO take II
Into partnership with the mother country.

NEEpIn a oldh COTIebpOuueul.J
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-(Special Tele-
gram )-Senator Allison will not reach this
city until after the Christmas holidays. The
delay in his arrival is not due to any un-
favorable condition in the senator's health,
but is the result of advice that has been
given him to the effect that the great ap-
preparation bills, over which he exercises
an Influence as chairman Of the senate
committee having them in charge, will not
be advanced sufficiently for his attention
until after January l.
1t is not likely that any measure except
the legislative. executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill will be before the senate
committee on appropriations before the
holidays. Senator Cullom is chairman of
the subcommittee having that bill in
charge, which subcommittee cannot COM
pete its work for several weeks because
Of the necessity Of hearing various officials
of the government and others who will
have something to say about items.
Mr.. Victor Rosewater, editor of The Beg,
arrived in Washington today to attend the
opening of congress on Monday. Mr.. Rose
water spent Thanksgiving with his wlre's
