Yesterday at the Tombs Police Court OF witnesses
TO find out whether the purchase and sale of strikes
in this CITY is common. Assistant District Attor-
ney Smyth under John Doe proceedings, conducted
the hearing, the magistrate sitting TO swear wit
nesses.
Among those summoned TO testify were Isaac
Brown chairman of the committee of the Plumb
ers' Association The proceeding grew out of the
arrest of John Murphy, plumber, of Soth street
and Lexington avenue, who arraigned in the
Tornbs police charged with attempting TO ex-
tort 81 900 from the firm of Bng Bing, who fore
closed mortgage building In which Murphy
had been doing the plumbing. 1t is charged that
Murphy called all the plumbers off from work at
two other operations in the hands of Bing & Bng
because the builders would not reimburse Murphy
partially for his loss the building which the
mortgage foreclosed.
The grand jury to-day will begin an investigation
of the relations existing between the journeymen
plumbers and the employers. In the mean time the
John Doe proceedings before Magistrate Corrigan
in the Tombs court will be carried to finish.

CHALLENGE FOR AIR RACE
Farman by Wireless Offers to Try
Skill scith the WTghts.

Officials of the Aero Club of America gave a
dinner last night at the Hotel Astor, at which
they talked over plans for the reception for
Henri Farman. the aeronaut, who will arrive in
this city tomorrow night or Saturday morning
on La Touraine. Gathered about the round
table were Alan r. Hawley. acting president OF
the Aero Club; Augustus Post. secretary; Cap
tain Chandler. Captain Thomas S. Baldwin and
Carl Denstbach.
A tug has been chartered to carry members OF
the club down the Bay to meet La Tourafne If
possible Farman will be brought to the pier on
the chartered vessel. Music will watt across the
waters from the pier to greet the incoming
champion Of the air. who upon landing. will be
ushered TO one of the fifteen waiting automo-
biles, which, at a signal will proceed TO the
Hotel Astor.
There the number of aeronauts who cannot
find place on the tug to extend to Farman their
welcome will be waiting to do him honor.
During the dinner wireless message was re-
ceived from Henri Farman challenging the
Wright brothers. one of whom is now in France.
TO a flying contest in this country for a $4,000
prize.
Aeronauts said last night that there was every
indication OF an international aerial contest in
this country within few weeks. The govern
ment tests of the wrights' and the A. NJ Her
ring aeroplanes will be completed in about six
weeks after which it is believed these men will
enter the contest Farman representing foreign
attainment in such matters.
Captain Baldwin left the city early this morn
ing for Washington to put his dirigible balloon
in shape for the government test at Fort Myer,
Virginia. He said last night that the coming of
Farman 10 this country was the most important
thing in aeronautics that had happened for a
