court adjourned in the Hains trial.
The rebuttal witnesses for the state
were principally army officers who
had been stationed at Fort Hamilton

and August, 1908, and had met and
talked with Captain Hams at that
time.

John f. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the defense, created stir in court by
questioning the army officers as to
what military authorization they had
for appearing as witnesses against
Captain Hams. lie brought out the
fact that Captain Henry w. Torney of
Fort Hancock had an order signed by
Colonel Hestand adjutant general of
the department of the east, directing
him TO appear at tho trial. Mr.. Nc
Intyre endeavored to show that other
officers had received the same orders
from Colonel Hesta2d, and asked
Captain Torney if he did not know
that i'll feeling existed between the
colonel and the Hams family. Captain
Torney was not permitted to answer,
but it was evident that the defend

there was antagon!sm against Captain
Hams in certain army circles.

POSTAL employees
READY FOR BATTLE
Throw Down Gauge TO French
Government

Paris, May THE famous p. T. T.,
that is the Posts, Telegraphs and Tel.
ephone Employees association, threw
down the gauge of battle to the gov
ernment by transforming i'self' into a
syndicate or union, under the law of
1884, thus placing the association on
the same footing with workmen's
unions, with the right to strike
against the state employers as the
workmen have the privilege OF doing
against private employers.
This defiance, which 10 nothing
short of open revolt, came as a sud
den and sensational sequel Of Premier
Clemenceau's failure to receive a dep
utation OF postal employees, who called
TO present demands for the redemp-
tion Of promises which they claim the
government made when the recent
strike was declared off.
