ANOTHER RUMOR
THAT duke IS
TO TURN PRO.
~ S|NGA YN| vhAI nhn

Duke Kahanamoku made an unsuc.
cessful attempt tc clip his own re.
cords for the 220 and 440 yard swims,
at San Francisco. He failed in both
distances, and, according to the Asso,
ciated Press cable, was much disap-
pointed at disappointing the crowd
that turned out to see him perform.
Close on the heels of this news
comes still another rumor that the
Hawaiian water speeder is about to
leave the amateur ranks, and that an
offer of some sort too tempting to be
overlooked, had been made to him
during his present trip to the coast.
One Of the members of the Hawaiian
swimming team that went to San
Francisco for the Portola events, is
quoted as saying yesterday that If
Duke set the new marks he was after,
it would be his last appearance as an
amateur.
Other close friends of the swimmer
know nothing of such a proposition,
and say that Duke is too anxious tc
make another trip to the Olympic
gares to throw away his amateur
standing.
his is not the first time by any
means that the rumor of Kahanamo-
ku's professional debut has been
handed round. The watchdog of his
amateur standing has been w. T.
Rawlins, president of the Hui Nalu,
end as Rawlins is with him now, it
is certain that Dukes interests will
be watched, and that the offer, if it
really has been made and accepted,
must be very good one.

CALL GENERAL STRIKE
Of TERRA GOTTA MEN
Practically All of
the Local Plants
Are Out.
LONG EXPECTED

A general strike was caused today
in the seven principal terra Gotta
plants in this district 1t is estimat-
ed that approximately 1,500 men are
out While they are demanding an
increase extending from five to ten
per cent. in the various departments,
the primary cause for the strike is
declared by prominent labor leaders
70 be the discharge by employers of
men who have been interested in
union work.
The factories concerned, which are
practically shut down as a result of
the strike, are plants /, 2, and 1
of the Atlantic Terra Gotta Com
pany, the New Jersey terra Gotta
works, the South Amboy terra Gotta
works and the Federal terra Gotta
plant. Plant / of the Atlantic con-
cern is located in Tottenyille, Nos, 2
and 4 in this city and No 3 at Rocky
Hill. The New Jersey plant is at the
southerly end of Catherine and Cort-
landt streets in this city, the South
Amboy Terra Gotta Company has its
works in South Amboy and the Fed
eral company it's plant in Woodbridge
township, near Maurer.
With few exceptions practically
all workers in the plants are out.
Indications are that employees in
brick factories may follow with de-
mands for increased pay. The de-
mands of the terra Gotta makers vary
according to the class of work. Piece
makers declare they want no increase
but demand fair dealing, and to that
end they want a list of specified
prices posted in shops so that every
man will be treated the same in the
payment for piece work.
About a hundred men, principally
laborers, returned to work at the
New Jersey terra Gotta plant this af-
ternoon upon being informed that
they would receive an increase of a
cent and a half an hour 1t is the
intention of the local branches of the
International Brick. Tile anad Terra
Gotta Workers Alliance that there
will be no general ending of the
strike until the grievances of the men
, have been settled.
Frank Bntterworth, a leader and
organizer in the terra Gotta union,
is in the city. He will probably ad
dress the strikers at meetings to be
| held in Washington hall tomorrow.

MORE REASONS
Says Washington Has Inter

Special bv United frsss Tirs.

San Francisco, June 24.-District
Attorney McNab today added fresh
fuel to his controversy with the fed
eral department of justice, when he
made public correspondence relating
to a third case, in addition to the
Diggs- Caminetti and Western Fuel
Company cases, in which he charged
that Washington had interferred
with his work.
Six women which he characterized
as of the lowest type had been or
dered deported by federal judges and
denied freedom on bail, McNab said
in spite of this fact McNab declares
he was ordered by the attorney gem
erals office to have women admit
ted to bail Assistant Attorney Gen
eral William Herr sent the order on
October 12, McNab said. He init
mated that an attempt has been made
to procure the women's freedom by
bribery. Nevertheless, said Nc

With respect to transferring ripa-
rian rights at street ends to the city,
the riparian commissioners promised
to do the very best for the city that
they could under the law. However,
their first and last statements con-
cerning the city's request were that
under the law they must charge a
municipality the same price for
grants at street ends as a private in
diVidual or corporation, excepting
where the rights are desired exclu-
sively for public park purposes,
Prosecutor George S. Silzer suggested
a cheaper means of securing them,
which was by enaction of legislation
to have the state give the desired
rights to the city. He said no person
could go back of the law, and de-
clared that If the city continued to
want the rights and did not feel able
to pay for them, that they give legis-
lators public aid when they go back
to provide means for getting the
grants for little or no consideration.
The proposition met with instant
favor among many of the city Off
cials. 1t seemed to give them food
for thought, and as a result action
may be directed along the suggested
line.
The reception accorded the state
officials was most cordial one. The
program of the day WAS carried out
In excellent style. A point was
stretched in making the first inspec-
ton trip In automobiles during the
early part Of the afternoon, when
the mayor and aldermen sought Mr..
Fielder's aid in compelling the rail
road companies to make some I'M
provement on the Hall avenue bridge
over the Central tracks. Alderman
Henry w. Sandbeck, Jr., of the sixth
ward in which the bridge is situated
pointed out its defects. He said the
structure had not been given any
consideration by the railroads since
the time of its erection in 1888. The
acting governor was asked to use his
influence with the Board of Public
Utility Commissioners in an effort to
have railroad companies make some
repairs and improvements to the
structure.

SOUTHERN JAUNT
Manager Madigan Prepares to
: Send Blue and Gray Athletes
to Virginia for Games.

There is a strong possibility that the
Georgetown basketball team will make
another Southern trip this winter. as
plans are under way to have the Hill
toppers meet washington and Lee and
virginia Military institute on February
es and q. Washington and Lee TO be
played In Lynchburg. Va. and the Old
Dominion Cadets in Lexington. The
two virginia schools have Joined to-
gether and made Manager Madigan OF
the Blue and Gray auint very attrac-
tive offer to bring his team South on
these dates and the basketball execu-
tive on the Hilltop intends to give the
matter serious consideration before
committing himself.
Both W. and l. and v. NJ. ] are
prominent contenders for the South At
iantic basketball title and II the games
are arranged they will have important
bearing on the question. Georgetown
has beaten V. NJ. i. at the Arcade and
was scheduled to meet w. and l.. a
week ago, but was forced TO cancel so
the supremacy question is far from be-
ing settled.
The principle difficulty in the way OF
the proposed trip Is the fact that the
Blue and Gray Ave have been absent
from classes, on account of trips. as
often as the faculty will permit. and
| II the faculty will grant permission fol-
n two days absence. the OFFER will
probably be accepted BY Manager Madi-
