BREAD STRIKE AvERTED.
Increase of Twenty-Five Cents
Day Granted Bnkers.

In granting an increase Of 25 cents
day to bakers, the managers of
Washington bakeries yesterday averted
the threatened strike of men employed
in the bread industry. The General
Baking Company. one of the largest
concerns in this city. has not yet grant
ed the increase. Bakers employed there
say they in all probability will go on
strike unless the increase is granted
by tonight.
Announcement of the increase grant
ed the bakers followed a meeting yes
terday afternoon in Washington Saen-
gerbund Hall, at which members OF
the committee appointed to negotiate
with the employing bakers discussed
the advisab ility of strike.
Members of the Central Labor Union,
at their meeting last night. were elated
at the action taken by the baking con-
Germs. They said that they thought
the bread makers of the city had seen
the justice of the demands of their
employees, and that the result Of the
negotiations had been a victory for
union labor.

Daring Deeds Please.

The performance was a notable one
throughout, and interest in it was ac-
centuated by the large number of trained
horses and the fearlessness of the riding
One horse walked on his knees; another
danced a turkey trot on a platform; an
other accomplished what looked sus-
piciously like the oldtime cochee-
couchee dance; several donkeys and bur-
ros, aided and abetted by a bunch of
clowns, created incidental merriment:
cowboys and cOwgirls picked up objects
from the ground while their horses were
running at topmost speed: one cowboy
rode, standing and straddling. four run
ming horses; Bee-Ho Gray. a clever roper,
lassoed six running horses at one time,

tion Of Ralph Pulitser will be decided
by Saturday. The magistrate has re-
served decision In afndavits submitted
by the Newspaper publisher which set
forth that in public speech before the

libeled the late Joseph Pulitzer. II Is
alleged in the afhdavits presented that
In this speech 0aynor said:
Joseph Pulitxer amassed a fortune
Of S5o.ooo.ooo by blackmail and inde-
ceney."
Attorneys Howard Taylor and James

litser. argued that the statement COM
planned Of was libelous under one de-
cision Of the court Of appeals and three
Of the appellate division. Taylor held
that the law OF libel was the same in
civil and criminal actions, excepting
that In the latter the offense had to be
"established beyond reasonable
doubt" The magistrate said that he
