]. T.DOOLING SUED BY
MEANS FOR MILLION
Northern Trust Co. of Chicago
Also Defendant in Echo
of King Staying.

John 7. Doollng, Assistant District
Attorney Of New York county, has been
named as a codefendant with the North
ern Trust Company of Chicago in a suit
for 100000 filed by CASTOR B. Means
Means was tried in December, 1917, for
Mrs. Maude A. King. who died from a
bullet wound while on an automobile
trip in North Carolina. He was ac-
quilted and now alleges Mr.. Dooling and
others conspred to send him 10 the
gallows.
"A million? hope he doesn't expect
to get it from me-" laughed Mr.. Dooling
yesterday when he heard OF the suit.
This is the first I've heard Of It. How
ever. ! shall refuse to worry about 1t.
II is hardly necessary for me 10 say
that whatever ! did in connection with
the Means case did IN the line OF duty.
The charge that l or anybody else con-
spired against him is ridiculous"
Mr.. Dooling. who helped to prosecute
Means in the Concord, y. c., court where
he was tried for murder, was sent to
Concord by District Attorney Swami to
give the prosecution the benefit OF evil
dence which an investigation in this
city had uncovered with reference TO
Means's financial relations with Mrs.
King. The action OF the New York au-
thorities caused much bitter feeling
among Means's friends. and Mr.. Doc
ling's life was frequently said TO be in
danger in the North Carolina town. On
several occasions pistol play was mar
rowly averted and determined efforts
were made to scare" Mr. Dooling and
his men away.
Means's acquittal followed a bitter
legal battle. A contest over the will OF
James A. King, Mrs. Kings husband,
ensued. Means alleges that the North
ern Trust Company sought to obtain
the conviction of Means for the murder
Of Mrs. King In order to obtain control
Of the s3,000.0O0 King estate.

John Armstrong Chaloner, sane in
Virginia and still held insane by the
New York courts, believes he already
has won his battle of twenty-five years
TO have his mental competency recog-
nized In the State Of his birth as It is
in that OF his adoption. He Is here, pro-
tected by an order Of the Federal courts,
for the trial of a libel suit against an
evening paper. The paper. in Its plea OF
abatement, which will be heard in the
Federal Court tomorrow. asserts that
Mr.. Chaloner is not mentally competent
to sue before the law.
Mr.. Chaloner Ia going into court, not
only with the writ of protection to back
up his sanity, but with a decision of the
United States Circuit Court OF Appeals
for this district. rendered some years
ago. asserting that as the Virginia
courts, those Of his adopted State, have
decided in his favor no presumption can
be raised against him, at least in the
Federal courts.
Once this is recognized In t!is State,
even though in a Federal court as Mr..
Chaloner feels II must be tomorrow, he
is confident that the New York courts
can no longer withhold from him the
custody of his large estate and that he
will be permitted to vary the solitude Of
his life on Virginia farm with an occa-
sional visit TO the city for which he con-
fesses his love and admiration.
Mr.. Chaloner was in pleasant mood
yesterday afternoon. He was propped
up in r. big chair in his rooms a. the
Brevoort. Grady, the faithful negro
body servant who came to New York
with Mr.. Chaloner night before last was
absent. Grady had been out the night
before to see something OF New York
himself-and he was seeing more of II
this afternoon. Grady likes the city as
well as does his master.

RIVERSIDE TENANTS
IN VICTORY PARADE
Banners Calling On Others to
Fight Landlords Displayed
by Marchers.
SEEK NEW LEASE LAW
Standard Form to Protect
Apartment Dwellers Will
Be Asked.

Tenants of the Langhorne apartment
house at $50 Riverside Drive celebrated
yesterday the success of their fight
against an attempt on the part of the
owners of the building to increase rents
and began a supplemental campaign TO
standardize leases in this city. A pa
rade up Riverside Drive was held to cell
for an investigation by the Legislature
Of the matter OF rentals and lease forms
in New York was sent to State Senator
William Copeland Dodge OF the Twen-
tieth Senatorial district
The thirty-four tenants OF the build
ing who organized to fight the breaking
Of their leases. accompanied by their
families. marched up Riverside Drive
from 15Sth TO 160th street, across to
Broadway and back to the Langhorne.
headed by Lloyd Willis. chairman Of the
tenants committee; Henry S. Miller.
their counsel; Prof. Robert L. Schuyler
OF Columbia and George Nash. They
carried banners inscribed, Victory"
THE landlords couldn't get away with
It," This fight Is not ours alone" and
Organization wins" Tenants OF the
apartment houses along the route cheered
the procession.
The letter to Senator Dodge. signed by
Lloyd Willis and Samuel Newmark for
the tenants committee. pointed out that
there Is no standard form Of lease re-
quired at present In this State, and that
landlords are accustomed to slip in pro-
visions which seriously jeopardiZe the
rights of tenants, and that the latter,
owing to the present scarcity OF apart
ments in New York. are virtually at the
mercy Of the owners of the property.
They requested that before adjournment
tho Legislature appoint committee
with power to investigate and analyze
tho lea sehold situation in New York
city and other communities in the State.
After the parade Mr.. Willis said
THE Grand Jury inquiry has not been
abandoned ard we are very much
pleased with the help given us by Dis
trict Attorney Swami and his assistants
in investigating the matter. We will
keep up the fight here for others who
may md themselves in the same boat.
Naturally we are very much elated over
our victory. and we want to put n stop
to grating by landlords all over the
city. The poorer people are the vic
Tins OF the same system that We have
had to fight.
"In addition to the parade to-day we
propose to hold victory dinner early In
May and to invite District Attorney
Swami. Gov. Smith and Mayor Hylan."

B. R. 7. MEN EXPECT
ANSWER ON UNION
Receivers Position on Recog-
milton Probably Will Be
Made Known To-day.

Lindley NJ. Garrison, receiver for the
B. r. T. system, Is expected to make an
swer some time to-day to the request of
his employees that their demands for
recognition of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electrical Rail-
ways Association, with which they are
sfffIiated, be submitted to the National
War Labor Board.
The letter OF Mr.. Garrison, il he writes
one, will be read tomorrow night at 4
mass meeting OF the B. r. T. employees
in Arcadia Hall. Halsey street and
Broadway. Brooklyn.
What Mr.. Garrison Is likely to tell
the employees Is that he is in full ac-
cord with their desire TO allow their de-
mands for wage increases. shorter hours
or change in working conditions to be
heard by the National War Labor Board.
but on the matter OF recognizing their
newly formed union he is Arm in his OPP
position and will not treat with any
delegates OF the employees unless they
come to him as employees and not as
representative OF the union.
Therein lies the obstacle that has been
the direct cause Of nearly every strike in
New York city for many months Or
ganized labor knows that the National
War Labor Board allows employees TO
organize and do collective bargaining
through chosen agents. In every ind
ing handed down by that tribunal It
has insisted upon the justice Of this prtn-
ciple; but as that body is a commission
OF moral suasion only it's decisions not
infreQuently of late have been ignored
by employers.
The executive committee OF the new
union OF B. r. T. employees met yes.er-
day afternoon in the Hotel Continental
and discussed the procedure that would
be taken in the event Mr.. Garrison
makes an unfavorable reply TO their let
ter OF Saturday. One OF the committee
ga id that no strike vote would be taken
on Tuesday night, and that II a strike
would be called it would not be until a
week at least.
Mr. Garrison has made no plans as yet
for meeting n strike. THE system would
not be paralyzed. for the union officials
claim 10 have organized only IS per
cent OF the employees. and officials OF
the b. r. r. say this proportion is greatly
exaggerated. The proposition OF hiring
the hundreds OF returned soldiers that
are hunting jobs in New York Is being
considered The work does not require
skilled laborers, and an Official OF the
company said yesterday that while he
doubted very much that the Il, r. T.
employees would strike. IL soldiers were
hired they would be taken on perma-
nentiy and not as strike breakers.
