De NEOREYS STATUS ASSh|lED
KIDD MAY FURTHER PURSUE
BITTER CONTROVERSY.
Procures Copy Of Morrison Opinion
That Secretary Is Not Legal Del
egate to Central Labor Union.

From developments today it would seem
that the end is not yet of the Kidd-De
Nedrsy controversy, despite the recent
victory of Sam De Nedrey in his election
as secretary Of the Central Labor Union.
President Frank A. Kidd OF Columbia
Typographical Union has requested Frank
Morrison, secretary of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. for a copy Of his letter
OF opinion as to the right of the central
body to elect Mr.. De Nedrey a delegate
at large. Mr. Morrison has complied with
the request.
Mr.. Morrison denies the right Of the
Central Labor Union to elect a delegate
at-large. This opinion, read at a
meeting OF the central body, did not deter
MIR. De Nedrey's friends from eIecting
him both delegate and secretary of the
organization.
Mr.. Morrison when seen today said
there was nothing secret about the letter
of opinion. 1t is the opinion of delegates
TO the central body that Mr.. De Nedrey
may appeal from Mr.. Morrison's opinion
TO the executive council of the A. F. l.. at
its next session.
When Mr.. Kidd was seen this after
noon he said so far as he Is concerned
the affair is a closed incident He added
that the action of the central body was
revolutionary and against all principles
OF organized labor In having elected a
ueiesdte-at-large In the race OF the Opin-
Ion OF the American Federation OF Labor
as given by Secretary Morrison.
He explained that he only secured the
copy OF the Morrison letter OF opinion
to see in what language 1t is couched
Columbia Typographical Union will hold
It's regular meeting Sunday afternoon
Several members said today that the
kidd-De Nedrey matter will certainly be
brought before that body. One of them
intmated that II might be carried TO the
International Typographical Union and
thence to the court of last resort in the
labor world. the American Federation OF
Labor. at its coming national convention
Friends Of Mr.. De Nedrey asserted to.
day that even though he should be ousted
from the central body-though they saw
they have no idea he wilI-he will still
have chance TO be elected q delegate ia
that organization. 1t was through De
Nedrey's efforts that the Lamplighters
Union was formed. They limited that the
lamplighters could elect him to be their
delegate in the Central Labor Union
IL was also pointed out that there are
several delegates in the Central body
who have two trades and can belong Ia
the union representing either. One case
named was that of prominent labor
man who is both musician and ma
chinfst and works at both occupations

STILL BEING CONSIDERED.
No Decision Reached Regarding
Barry Statue Award.

Two meetings have been held this week
by the congressional Barry statue COM
mission They were devoted entirely to
the consideration of the design of the
statue. Further action hinges on the
adoption or rejection Of the revised model
by Andrew OConnor. who received first
prize in the recent competition Of artists.
There is decided opposition to this model
on the part of certain Irish American
societies which are said to favor the
adoption of the design of Jerome Conner
of this city, which the commission
awarded second prize.
The second meeting of the commission
was held at the War Department this
morning. Secretaries Dickinson and
Meyer and Senator Wetmore were pres.
that no decision had been reached ana
that ''the matter was still under consid-
Aeyation."

Gen. Keifer Admits Shame of

Money Granted for Addition to and
Improvement of the Presidents
Business Quarters.

When the House resumed consideration
of the deficiency appropriation bill today
the pending item was an appropriation OF
$13 500 for improvements to the offices OF
the White House.
Mr.. Champ Clark sharply questioned the
appropriation and also commented on the
expenditures heretofore made on the Of

criticism of the $4,000 appropriation

make this provision arose.

There was no further objection, how
ever, and the item remained in the bill.
The Brussels Exposition Item.
When the appropriation of $4,000 for
participation Of the United States in the
Brussels exposition was reached a dozen
democrats raised points Of order against
1T.
Mr.. Tawney said the President had
made this appropriation the subject of a
special message to Congress. and the ap-
preparation ought to be made. Belgium
had participated in our exposition, he
said. and 1t was only courteous to accept
their invitation.
Mr. Macon of Arkansas bitterly op-
posed the amendment and the chair sus-
tanned his point of order, SO the amend
ment went out
Mr.. Macon of Arkansas made a point
Of order against the item of $4,000 for
repairs to the Treasury building to pro-
vide additional accommodations for the
Office Of the supervising architect.
Mr.. Bartholdt Of Missouri said he hoped
Congress would some time provide a sep
arate building for this office.
Mr.. Tawney said the requirements of
the Office Of the supervising architect
necessitate the improvements and the
work Of the Office would be facilitated.
The point of order was withdrawn and
the appropriation allowed to stand.

The marine in question said that there
were several encounters among members
of the party. which included Sutton,
Adams, Rocker and probably Ctleys
while walking from the point where they
left the automobile driven by Owens TO
the scene of the final struggle.
He said that the party seemed to have
been engaged in a hot quarrel and that
they would stop every now and then and
appear to fight. This happened at least
twice before the final struggle began.
Apparently the members of the guard.
knowing that the party contained only
officers, hesitated to interfere with them
until affairs reached the point where the
order Of the camp made interference nee
essary. The naval authorities can, OF
course. order all those now connected
with the service to appear before the
court, and those marines who know any
thing Of the matter will be summoned.

PRICELESS VALUE OF
RECENT ACCESSIONS
Congressional Library Now Contains
a Total Of 1,712,6S5
Volumes.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Accessions OF
almost priceless value form a part of
the 1857 volumes which were added
during the last year 10 the library Of
congress. making the total number of
volumes in that great library 1,7O2 6S5,
according to the report Of the librarian
OF congress, made public today.
The valuable additions include a set
of the great Chinese encyclopedia given
by the Chinese gov eminent. China alone
among nations has attempted to embody
in a single library record the entire
knowledge of an epoch. The edition
sesms to have been a very small one. A
copy obtained in 1877, forms a priced
possession of the British museum.
Valuable manuscripts transferred to
the library from various departments
Of the government include ali the sap
plicatiOns for Office during Washing
tons administration, the original vOuch-
ers and accounts OF WashingtOn's eX-
penses during the revolution, and his
tOrical documents regarding revolution
airy pension claims.
Other valuable manuscripts acquired
include originals of speeches by Luther
Martin and James McHenry to the
Maryland legislature, relating to pro-
Ceedings in the constitutional cOnven-
ton of 1881. The McHenry document
has special significance from the fact
that it was hitherto unknown to his
tOrians.
