SEES RATTLESNAKE
ATTACKED BY CAT
Erie Employee Tells of Battle
Fatal to Both.

William Lessig. gateman for the
Erie Railroad at the grade crossing east
OF the bridge over the Ramapo River at
Ramapo, n. j., told yesterday a story
OF battle he saw between "a rattiesHake
and pet cat. 1t ended in the death Of
both reptile and feline.
Looking up the tracks Mr.. Lessig was
surprised to see a rattler about four feet
In length winding its way toward the
river. He picked up a club and was
about to start for 1t when. he declares,
a cat leaped out ahead of him and set
upon the snake assuming full charge Of
the affair. The cat got a fine hold on
the back of the rattler's head. according
to Mr.. Lessig. and he figured the battle
was as good as won. But the snake
fought desperately and in a supreme
effort succeeded in getting in a sting
which caused the cat to release its hold
and crawl away. In twenty minutes the
cats body had swollen almost twice its
size and the poison finally resulted in
its death. The snake had been no Sc
verely wounded that 1t was unable to
find cover. and when a large crow dis
covered II lying in the open field he was
too weak to offer any resistance and,
according to Lessig's story. was soon
swinging in the air as the bird made on.

WOULD-BE SUICIDE
SENT TO HOSPITAL
.Weingard Last to Be Ar
, raigned Under Old LaW.

Samuel weingard. s47 East Tenth
street, has the distinction of being the
last man to be arraigned in New York
State for attempted suicide, which under
the law is no longer a felony.
He had been in Bellevue Hospital
since August 20, when he was rescued
from the East River. and yesterday he
was taken before Magistrate Schwab in
the Harlem court. Weingard was at
once recommitted to the hospital on an
affidavit by DR.. s. C. Hewitt that he Is
of unsound mind. His wife told the
court his health had been bad BVur
since he had been questioned some time
ago concerning the robbery Of man
who had once employed him.
Mrs. Weingard told Magistrate Schwab
her husband had drawn $3.50 from the
bank the day he jumped into the river
and that $40 of the money with dia-
niond ring had been stolen from him.
The court ordered the $40 found In his
pockets turned over to Mrs. Weingard.
and told the police to see If they could
discover what had become of the rest Of
the money and the ring.

appointed 10 sit as a Judge in the case
between the people Of the city and the
traction companies, without having
heard sointilla OF evidence in the case,
showed plainly the trend OF the Com
missioner's mind.
so 1t is plain that you must reckon
with this undoubted disposition on his
part to grant these applications to the
railway companies. He heard the appli-
cation of the New York railway compa-
MES for a charge OF two cents for trans
fers and after sitting all day listening
to the testimony and the arguments he
pulled out of his pocket the decision in
the case deciding against the city and
In favor of the companies"
The Mayor declared that the Manhat-
tan and Queens Traction Company was
the same concern that refused to carry
out the provisions of its franchise for
the construction of certain lines. 1t
has enjoined the Board of Estimate
from resembling its franchise.
Public Service Commissioner Nixon
has made a law unto himself said the
Corporation Counsel on the receipt of
the Mayors letter, whereby he claims
the power to abrogate municipal fran
chises. Increase rates and abolish trans
fers notwithstanding the Court of APP
peals has emphatically said the Public
Service Commission has no such power.
He has absolutely reversed the Court Of
Appeals and the decision of his pre-
decessor Public Service Commissioner"
The Corporation Counsel cited the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals in the
Quinby case to uphold his declaration
that the Public Service Commission had
no right to increase fares.

MOTION SAYS NEGRO
HATRED INCREASES
Warns Against Unjdstified
Anger Against Whites.

TUsKBGEE. Ala. Sept S.-R. r. Mo-
ton, Booker t. washington's successor
as head of Tuskegee Institute. declared
In a statement to-day regarding recent
race riots In North and South that II
was difficult to understand why there
should be so much apparent suspicion
and bitterness on the part Of whites and
negroes.
II have never. known the colored peo-
pie to have more intense feeling toward
the white people that at the present"
Motion said, "and have never known a
time when there was less reason. i
never knew n time when the white peo-
pie of the South. not only the leading
white people but the average white man,
were more anxious than at present to
be absolutely fair and Just to the negro.
This is also true of the North.
There was never time when the
South, and the North, too, saw more
clearly the value of the negro as an
economic factor in Industrial operations.
never knew a time when Southern
white people felt more chagrined and
Inundated at the awful crime of lynch
Ing than they do to-day, and 1 never
knew time when they were more de-
termined to put down mob rule, whether
aired at black or white, than now.
1--WE. North and South, should make
up our minds that there is room enough,
there is opportunity enough for colored
and white to work peacefully and har-
mcniously here in America, each living
his life unhampered by an act or any
untoward attitude of the other, and
hope that our leaders in every COM
munity, white and black, will get to-
gether and smooth out matters that are
misunderstood, so that Amerira can
teach the world that black people and
white people can live peacefully and
tremendously in our great country"

1. r. T. REFUSED OFFER
OF STRIKE BREAKERS
Grand Jury Hears Story in
Collision Inquiry.

The offer of 1900 strike breakers to
pany two days before the calling OF the
recent strike was made by George D.
Barnitz. formerly a member of the Po-
lice Departments bomb squad and more
recently connected with private detec-
tive agency. for which he made the
offer. Mr.. Barnitz was summoned yes
terday before the extraordinary Grand
Jury which has been hearing testimony
upon the charge that the strike was the
result of collision between officers of
the Interborough company and men of
the Brotherhood of Interborough EN-
ployees.
After Mr.. Barnitz had given testimony
District Attorney Swami announced that
he would summon officers of the Inter-
borough and ask them to testify, after
signing waivers of immunity, in the
event that indictments are not returned
upon the testimony of other witnesses.
So far none of the Interborough officers
had appeared at the Grand Jury in
quiry. A subpoena was served upon
Frank Hedley. vice-president and gen.
eral manager. two days before the strike
started, but he did not respond.
According to Mr.. Barnitz he recalled
| to H. NJ. Norris. the company's repre-
| sentative to whom he made the Offer
of the strike breakers. his success in
tracing strike sympathizers who tried
to dynamite sections of the subway in
1915. He was told, Barnitz said, that
Mr.. Norris could not say at the time
whether there would be a strike, and. II
there was one. whether 1t would be nee
essary for the company to use strike
breakers. Other witnesses were EN-
ployees and former employees of this

so far as Canada is concerned, apart
from the approval Of the Canadian
Parliament.
Mr.. Fielding--I was not making any
statement. advancing any argument. or
contending anything. 1 was asking for
information and I have got II.
Sir Robert--My honorable friend may
have only asked a question. but the
Implication which ne made was very
plain to every honorable member. and
will be readily understood by the people
of this country. His suggestion was
that ratification by the Parliament of
Canada Is merely farce that the Gov
eminent of the United Kingdom pos
sesses such constitutional right in re-
spect of this Dominion that II can
Impose it's will upon us without regard
to this Parliament. I repeat that II such
Is the opinion of the honorable men,
Der he is thinking In terms of hun
bred years ago, and not Of to-day.
That closed the incident.
In Pointe Asks for Time.
The famous Article X. is giving cause
Tor thought to some of the members.
Ernest La Pofnte. member for Kamou-
raska, Que, one of the brightest men
self at the recent Liberal convention
with an eloquent ana witty speech in
classical English" said:
"The ratification of this treaty Is a
matter OF grave Importance, and we
must he given an opportunity to con-
slider II in all its bearings. BY Article
X. of the covenant of the League OF
Nations, IL we ratify The treaty we
assume an obligation to guarantee the
territorial integrity of thirty-two ma
tons, and 1t Is essential that we should
know just what this obligation implies
in respect of each nation. We caAnot
bind Canadian lives and Canadian money
for so many years to come without a
clear knowledge of what we are doing
Having had this treaty and all these
papers In our possession only two days
It is but fair that we should be az
forded some time adequately to consider
the subject"
William Findlay Macklean, member
for York South, said This very ques-
ton which is raised by my honorable
friend (Mr. La Pointe) Is the question
over which great discussion Is now
taking place In the United States
namely, our commitment under Article
X. for all time to certain obligations
As a nation on the American continent
we do commit ourselves for all time t
embark upon wars waged in Europe tt
maintain the integrity of all other ma
lions that are parties to the League Of
Nations. / think, therefore. that thu
question is entitled to the fullest con
sideration in this House. and that thu
people of Canada ought to know wha
we are committing ourselves to In re
gard to practically all the future war;
of the world"
The House adjourned until tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock to give the mem
bers an opportunity to read the treaty
copies of which were circulated In Eng
lish. and 10 permit the French text t.
be printed.

Admiral Albert Gleaves, in command
of the cruiser and transport force dur

day at a farewell luncheon given for
him by the Hoboken Chamber of Com
merce prior to his starting for his sta
ton in command of the Asiatlc feet.

scented to him in behalf of the members
a gold watch. The case had the four

miral Gleaves's name and rank were en-
graved upon 1t, together with the words:
HE took 'em over and he brought
'em back"
In response Admiral Gleaves referred
to the admirable manner in which the
citizens of Hoboken had cooperated with
the navy during the war.

RIGHT TO BAR UNION UPHELD.
Company Gets Massachusetts Court
Backing I'm Action.

BosToN, Sept. 3.-The Supreme Court
to-day held that the National Equip
ment Company was within the law
when It established as a condition of
employment at its Springfield factories
that the employees should not be union
men. A local union of the National
Association OF Machinists had sought to
organize the workers.
The court overruled a demurrer by
the union to the companys bill in which
T. was contended that no case had been
presented emitting the company TO re-
lief In equity or at law. and heard
testimony on the application OF the
company for temporary injunction
restraining the union from interference
with the company's business or en-
ployees.
