IN LITIGATION
WIRELESS sTocKHoLDER WANTS
100000 RETURNED
Plaintiff Declares Christopher Buckley
Usurped Management and Misap=
propriated Its Funds for
His Own Use
[By Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.-Christo-
pher A. Buckley, formerly prominent
politician of this city, was named as
defendant in an action for the recovery
of $S00,000, fired today by Edmund
Burke, a stockholder in the United
States Wireless Printing company.
Burke alleges that Buckley usurped
the management of the affairs of the
company and misappropriated its funds
and resources to his own use by or
ganizing herewith another company,
known as the Burlingame Typewriter
Telegraph company, freezing out the
stockholders of the original company.
The second company has it's factory
at Los Angeles. One of the allegations
of the complaint is that Buckley forced
the employees of the United States COM
pany to work for the interests of the
Burlingame company by the threat
that if they did not he would turn his
wolves loose" on them, meaning the
residents of the Bauer property in Los
Angeles, of which Buckley is trustee.
Burke asks for an accounting and
personal judgment for the sum named.
The other officers and directors of the
company are named as defendants, as
is the company itself.
Buckley is accused of making over
stock to himself and others, and of
having obtained 100000 by the sale of
such stock.

TESTIFY AS TO EFFECT OF
BIG MERGER ON BUSINESS
Attorneys in Suit Against Hartman
to Record Excerpts from
Evidence

CINCINNATI, Feb. 10.-After devot-
ing two days to hearing testimony re
garding the effect on general business
of the alleged merger of the Hartman
lines and as to the evidence of such
merger by the elimination of former
competitive conditions, it was an
nounced tonight that the attorneys in
the case would enter on the record to-
morrow various excerpts from the evil
dence submitted before the Hartman
hearing in the interstate commerce
case.
Railroad Commissioner GOthlin of
Columbus Ohio, was on the stand
during most of the morning and his
testimony brought out a number of
points desired by the government.
Several witnesses reported little bust
ness with freight solicitors because the
consignees governed the route of ship
mentS.
Almost without exception all testified
that since the union of the Southern
and Union Pacific agencies no prefer
ence had been shown in asking bust
ness by such agents as between those
companies.

Judge LaWIor Causes Some Misgivings
by Statement Concerning Ner=

Nemesis
GBy Associated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1O.-There
was an anxious stir among the princi-
pals in the Patrick Calhoun trial today
when at the opening of the morning
session Judge William P. Lawlor an
nounced that Assistant District AttoT-
new Francis j. Heney, who has directed
the prosecution of all the municipal
bribery cases, was too i'll to appear i'll
court today.
BY immediate consent of the other at
torneys in the case it was determined
that peremptory challenges, which were
to have been exercised this afternoon,
would be withheld until tomorrow, but
that the more important proceedings in
the trial would be resumed only after
the court had been further advised as
to Mr.. Heney'S condition.
1t was asCertained that Mr.. Heney' 6
absence today was due to a severe cold,
from which he has suffered consider
ably during the last few days. Judge
LawlOr first called attention to his alb
sence by remarking that Mr.. Heney' S
physician had forbidden him to leave
his home today, and the court then pro-
ceeded to make known the reason why
an ordinary continuance until tOmor-
row might not suffice.

Salary, However, Raised to $4,000,

[By Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Folowing
closely upon the discovery that Senator
Philander c. Knox could not, without
violating a provision of the constitution
accept the state portfolio in the Taft
cabinet, the senate today took prompt
action to remove the constitutional OBJ
lection.
Senator Hale introduced a resolution,
which was referred to the committee
on judiciary, providing that the salary
of the secretary of state be reduced
from $4,000 to $4,000, the figure at
which it stood before it was increased,
along with those of all other cabinet
officers two years ago.
In view of this resolution, Assistant
Attorney General Russell held that if
congress restores the salary the case
falls outside the purpose of the law and
is not within the law

NEW YORK MANAGERS DIVIDED
ON QUESTION
Marc klaw Declares Censorship Un=
necessary-Reformers, Alert for
Crusade, Point to CIeve-
land Experiment
LBy Associated Press.1

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-Theatrical
managers appear to be divided on the
question of immortality and indecency
on the New York stage, a matter that
was brought to the public attention
yesterday by Charles Burnham, presi-
dent of the Theatrical Managers as
sociation of New York
Mr.. Burnham declared there were
five shows in the city which, in his
opinion, should be suppressed. and he
said he believed the time is coming
when stage censorship in this city will
be necessary.
While not expressing himself on the
question of whether there were any
productions in the city at present
which should be suppressed, Marc
Klaw of the firm of Klaw &, Erlanger
said he did not think stage censorship
was at all necessary.
kIaw Opposes Censorship
There are plenty of existing laws
he said, ito stop indecent shows if
these laws only were enforced properly,
and do not see why a board of GEN.
sors would be advisable or useful
The present agitation against a GER
tain type Of plays in the city may be
attributed perhaps to the recent re-
marks Of prominent ministers here,
particularly those of Archbishop Far
ley, the head of the Catholic church in
New York, who last Sunday delivered
scathing denunciation of such plays
as tend to corrupt the morals of youth.
1t has been suggested that New York
needs a sweeping evangelistic move
ment and purity crusade, and several
we'll known ministers have been queS-
toned as to the feasibility of trying the
plan recently inaugurated in Cleveland,
Ohio, where a number of young men
and women endeavored for a short
time "to live as Christ would
Doubtful About New York
This proposal, however, meets with
but scanty approval, for, while all min
listers agree that such move might
be beneficial to New Yorks morals,
they do not believe that it would be
effective or meet the complexities of
the great city.
The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst per-
haps expressed it best by saying that
New York is a complication of pc
culiarities.'
Whether any action will be taken
toward the uplift of the stage by the
Theatrical Managers association as the
result of the suggestions of it's presi-
dent is matter of conjecture.
