list himself and could prove by it that 139 were entitled to a vote. Sargas Benjamin then interrupted to make a hot speech in which he declared that Judge Hungerford or anyone else had no right to "but in" and interrupt their meeting and he would appeal to the bishop. The idea seemed a good one and Judge Hungerford said he would appeal to the bishop himself. Finally, the excitement being so in tense and violence ever threatening the police called the meeting off and elected everybody from the hall
 Not First Trouble.
 This is not the first time that there has been trouble among this group of Afmenians. At previous meeting held in Benz's hall some time ago it was necessary for the police to take a hand and clear out the angry mob.
 At the time of the Armenian tag day last fall it was feared for a time that trouble might result. Those of different nationalities who had been asked to assist stated at the time that because of the great jealousy existing between two factions of the Armenians they were afraid that trouble might result over the counting of the money. Accordingly, men who stood the high est in the community and having no interest in either side, were selected to count the cash. Then 1t was sent tda reliable house in New York, where it was again counted. But even then the jealousy was felt and one faction was continually afraid that the other might receive some little benefit that the other would not.
 In remarking on last nights affair, Captain Grace states that he ordered the hall cleared out not because he wanted to take sides with either fac ton, but merely on grounds of public policy. He realized that if both parties were not elected serious trou- ble was sure to follow.

 Plot Case.

New York, Dec. 2O.-Auth ority to send commissions to Germany and England to take testimony on behalf of pr. Herbert Kienzle and Englebert Bronkhorst, jointly indicted with Rob- ert Fay on a charge of conspiring to blow up munitions ships, was granted today by United States Judge Mayer.
 At the same time Judge Mayer ruled that the appointment of these commissions would not act as stay to the trial of the accused men, which is expected to begin early in January.
 Dum-dum bullets, alleged to have been manufa ctured for the allies by a Bridgeport, Conn. firm, were exhib- ited in court by counsel for pr. Kien- gle. I was claimed that Kienzle had secured information in regard to the manufacture and sale of these bullets and had submitted his proofs to the state department, that being his only participation in any German propa- ganda in this country. The commis- sion appointed on his behalf will ex anime his father, Jacob kienzIe. a manufacturer in Wurtemburg, re- garding correspondence alleged to have passed between the two.
