DECISION AWAITED

 Noise Or Music.

New York, May 10.--Numerous Scottish clans, awaiting a ruling as to whether the playing of bagpipes is music or noise, must abide their time, for Supreme Court Justice Whitaker reserved decision yesterday on the question. Tenants of No. 201 West 54th street told the court that the noise-or music-from the pipes in the Caledonian club, around the cor ner at No. 846 Seventh avenue, con- stituted a nuisance.
 Minus their kits, but clothed in heavy indignation, the clan chieftains appeared before Justice Whitaker and explained that twenty-five members of the club had gone to war, and when the braw lads returned they were entitled to a bit of cheer to the tune of the most beautiful musi- cal instrum ent ever invented.
 Present were Chieftain John Mac Lean of Clan Mackenzie, John H. Whiteford, the best dressed High lander" of Clan Lindsay; Alexander Caldwell of the Caledonians, James Donaldson of Clan Macdonald, and their counsel, Charles M. Beattie, Scotsmen all.
 The unappreciative listeners to the bagpipes are respectively entitled Goode, Ljunglof, Graf, Goepper and Staiber. The clubmen averred it could not be expected that they would take any great interest in Scottish af- fairs.

 "I is matter about which soTaly towards and political pimps could have no convictions" wrote the sena- tor Gan a partisan under suoh cir- cumstances ask what about 1920R Can a political party under such circuln- stances stand aside-can it jaYhawlS between the lines and still expect to hold the confidence and respect of a.. vigorous and brave people? Can it de- cline to have opinions? Can a ~e- publican of feeling and smelling around as a whtte-livered satellite of base expediency?

CAVE MAN METHODS
 CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Determined Suitor Abducts Sweetheart in Her Robe de Nuit

New York, May 10.-According to the generally accepted opinion among nOVellstS no woman can resist the ad- vances of a man who is original and masterful in his lovemaking. It seems that John F.. Carey, of No. 17 vingston place, Manhattan, man. ufacturer of surgical instruments, shared this opinion, but according to Mrs. Helen c. Waterman, young widow he outmaneuvered even the novelists when he broke into her home, at No. 234 Sterling street. Brooklyn, at midnight and carried her off in a taxicab without waiting for her to exchange her night robe for more suitable attire.
 Mrs. Waterman made her charges against Carey in the t'Iatbush police court yesterday after she had been taken from Carey's home by Detec- tive Joseph Mulvey. The detective stated that when he found Mrs. Wa terman she was still attired in her night gown and he lent her his rain coat to wear home.
 According. to the account given to Magistrate F7olweu by Mrs. Water man and Miss Marie Gaffney, who lives with her, Carey went to the house about midnight Thursday and, after placing strips of surgical tape over one of the windows broke it and entered. Mrs. Waterman ran out of her room and Carey, believing she had gone into Miss Gaffney's room, forced the door. He then followed Mrs. Waterman to the street, where he caught her and placed her in a taxicab.
 A wild ride to Manhattan ensued. At the Livingstone place address, Mrs. Waterman said, she appealed to a ne- gro nearby as she was being taken in to the apartment house, but Carey told the man his companion was in- toxicated and gave him some money to go away.
 As soon as Miss Gaffney recovered from her fright she telephoned the police, telling what had happened Detective Mulvey obtained Carey's homo address and rescued Mrs. Wa terman.

DE ORC EXPLAINS
Cuban Who Recently Lost Three Cushion Billiard Title to Cannefax, Tells Grounds for His Protest.

New York. May 10-Alfredo De Orc, who recently lost his three -cush- ion billiard title to Robert Cannefax, and who has since protested the match on the ground of a foul com- mitted on the second night, last night issued a statement of his side of the controversy. The protest will be reviewed by the proper authori- ties and decided on it's merits, but meanwhile the former titleholder feels that he has been unduly criti- cised for, as he asserts, merely dc lending his rights. Tn his statement he says:
 During the second nights play Mr. Cannefax made a foul on the white ball. and instead of stopping he then made a second stroke, thereby plac- ing the balls in an unfavOrable po- sition. Upon my claim that the balls should be respotted in their original position-which was very favorable the referee, Mir. Cutler. refused to do so, saying, I know. of no rule which allows me to do SO 1 imme- diately stated there was such rule, and called for the rule book. l con- tinued to protest, and stated, I ob- jGCt; I protest
 The rule covering tnlS point IS d0 follows: Rule 29-If, after having made q premature stroke, he makes a second or glaring foul stroke, It shall be assumed that he does so to prevent his opponent from having favorable position, and the opposing striker shall have the option of play ing on the balls as he finds them, or having them replaced as nearly as possible where they were when the second stroke was made.
 "The referee being in error on thls point of rules gives me the right to protest. This decision materially af- fected my chances of winning the championship, due to the manner m which my protest was received, and I only scored one point throughout the rest of the nights play, yet on the following night l clearly out-e played and outscored Mr. CannefaX. l have protested to the Brunswick Bake Collender company, who are the final arbiters in all professional billiard matches.
 q feel it is an injustice to me to create the impression that my con- duct is unsportsmanlille, as under the rules of billiards, as set forth above, am merely protecting my rights and those of my friends
