To the Editor of The News:
 There has been much controversy, ana even up to a recent date, as to which Army corps broke the lines before Pot ersburgh. To settle this matter I have an official clipping which explains it- self and which will ask you to publish
 This matter was published % years since, but it appears it did not stop aH the cavil.

"Bought And Paid For"

Analysing the story of Bought and Paid For," William A. Brady's most recent New York Playhouse success, which comes for the first time to the Mahaiwe Theatre Great Harrington on Monday night, Sep. 30, one is forced to the conclusion that George Broadhurst, the author, wrote an exceptionally powerful drama because of the sim- plicity of his treatment to the theme. The plot is so straight-away that it might be written on a visiting card.
 The intense interest of the play is in it's pointed dialogue and the frank un- folding of his skillfully drawn char acters.

,BAIRD'S DENIAL
Lay Preacher Says His License is in
 Full Force.

Full Force.
 In the story of the allegations against L. w. Baird, the Falls Village real es- tate and insurance agent and lay preach CT, whose performances were rehearsed in more or less detail some weeks ago, it was related that at the hearing before Presiding Elder Wilson, in Canaan, on the Baird Blakeney controversy, the presiding elder, after Baird had made certain damaging admissions, ordered MT. Baird to stop preaching under the license issued to him by the conference. MT. Baird, who maintains that every charge brought against h1m is mali ciously false and inspired by enemies in Falls Village whose purpose is to ruin him and drive him out of town," says of this particular report that there is absolutely no foundation for it; that the presiding elder never ordered nor suggested nor advised him to discontinue preaching, even temporarily, and that his license to preach, is today, and al ways has been, in full force.
 The report, as printed, was based on information from sources worthy of all confidence, and came direct from the scene of the hearing. Inability of the informant, however, to recall positively the words of the injunction, or the fact whether it was uttered at the hear ing or subsequent to it and outside the chambers of inquiry, seems to rem der the information somewhat nebulous; i; and in the absence of any word from the presiding elder himself, 8 doubt may appear to exist, to the benefit of which MT. Baird is rightly entitled.
