Warns Aqanst Prejudice.

[ I II. University created a sensation when he warned the delegates against the celebration taking on the aspect of a demonstration against non-English l speaking nations.
 l Prof. Munsterburg is professor of psychology at Harvard, is German by birth, a graduate of the leading Ger man universities, and generally known as not only being close to the German government, but a personal friend of the kaiser.
 He declared that although he knew the movement for the peace celebra- tion was prompted by the highest mo- tives, the delegates should not over look the possibility of danger. In dis cussing the plans for the celebration of the 100 years peace among the English-speaking peoples, Prof. Nun sterburg said:
 The crowd misunderstands it, and the crowd thinks it means more inti- mate dealings between English de- scendants of this country and Eng land, crowding out somewhat the non- English, and there are many who think the purpose of the whole movement is to bring America to the service of England in order to fight Germany That is certainly a most absurd mis- understanding, and yet it would be most unfortunate if such view got more strength, because, after all while England, the peace with Germany was never broken

Plot to Blow Up Blein Palace.

London, May 12.-Bleinheim Pal. ace, the residence of the Duke of Marlborough, is one of the buildings marked for destruction by the mill tant suffragettes. The news of the plot to burn the palace and destroy its famous pictures reached the Duke some days ago. Whereupon he i'm mediately ordered that the facilities hitherto freely accorded the public to view the palace be withdrawn for the present. Bleinheim is one of the greatest show places of England.
 The letter to the Duke says:
 T hereby give you warning that Bleinheim Palace has got to fall by the hands of the suffragettes, and be- ing a strong supporter of the move ment, but not for any violence, I give you this notice. The plot is being prepared now and the particular DOT tion to be damaged will be the pie ture gallery. No expense will be spared to ruin the palace"

WOULD WITHDRAW
CITY PRINTING BID
Baker Company Unwilling to
Take Contract Under Recent
Municipal Labor Law.

The Baker Printing Company,
which was the lowest bidder for the
printing of the annual reports of the
city, has notified Alderman Thomas
J. Lee, chairman of the printing COM
mittee of the Common Council, that
they wish to withdraw their bid.
The matter will be referred to the
city law department by the printing
committee.
When the bid was submitted on
February and received by the conf
mittee a protest was made by the
typographical union of the city on
the ground that the Baker concern
is non-union one. The contract
was not awarded at the time and in
the meantime Assembly bill No. 81,
introduced by Assemblyman Law
renee MeCabe, jr.. regulating the
hours of labor and fixing the COM
pensation for work done for munich
palities has become law.
The Baker concern in their letter
state that "they are unwilling to be
bound by the provisions of the act
and therefore beg to withdraw their
bid"
"If your committee can see its way
clear to award the contract under the
working conditions as they existed
before the passing of the law we will
be only too glad to stand by our bid
and will satisfactorily complete the
contract" the missive concludes.

already in their employ. The larger
railroads affected by the law are the
Pennsylvania, Lackawanna, Erie,
Central Railroad of New Jersey, Lee

sylvania 1t was stated that prepara-
lions to comply with the law are
being made and that some additional
men would be hired. 1t was not
stated at the offices of the Erie
just how many men would be
needed, but Superintendent Dickson
declared the road has number of
men in its employ who would be used
to make up the necessary compile
ment for crews
No additional men will be hired by
the Lehigh Valley. according to infor-
nation obtained at the Jersey City
terminal. The LackawAnna will hire
but six additional men. 1t was stated
at the Jersey City offices that the
road Is now operating some trains
with more men than the law requires.
Additional men will be obtained by
the Central railroad. but 1t was not
stated how many will be required to
comply with the new law.
