ONE SIDED DUEL
AMUSES LONDON
Sir Claude C. de Crespigny. 73,
Fails to Force Fight With
Lord Kenyon, 53.
CHALLENGING 20 YEARS
Men Are Cousins and Younger
Calls Elders Belligerency
DeliciOusly Absurd

Special Cu6Ie Despatch to THE HERALD.
Copyright, 1920, by TIE NEW yoRK HERALD.
LONDON, Oct 5-An echo OF olden
times stirred London to-day, but 1t
was stirred mostly with amusement.
A challenge to duel to the death
Anywhere, anyhow and with any kind
of weapons''-was issued by Sir Claude
Champion de. Crespigny. 73 years old.
to his cousin. Lord Kenyon. aged 81.
One could almost hear the clanking of
the armor of mailed knights between
these bellicose Lords, Sir Claude. who
is of Norman blood. demanding that
his honor be satisfied.
But Lord Kenyon is more modern.
He is an intelligent man of affairs and
simply regards the challenge as "de-
liciously absurd"
Sir Claude is a veteran sportsman and
world traveller. and is called "a pep
pery old Fellow The ageS baruaet. Who
has challenged Lord Kenyon before, but
whose challenge was ignored, said
"A hundred years ago DE Crespigny
che pronounced the name DE CreppinyD
would not have long to wait for O. Ken
yon."
Fcnd Dates Back for Years.
Sir Claude said that a family feud
has existed between them for years Il
having started when Lord Kenyon OBJ
Jected 70 a statement made by Sir Claude
about him during the South African War.
Said Sir Claude:
II held TO my views and opinions Tho
only natural thing for gentleman to 10
Is 20 fight
Lord Kenyon said that "a little quar-
rel started over n dispute concerning
some property he inherited from his
grandfather. who had three daughters,
one OF whom was cut Off, and trouble
arose over that
For twenty years. at intervals, this
kind of a challenge has been made and
always ignored" he said. I'm the TWEEN
tieth century we no longer think OF duels
connected with anything so ridiculously
Inappropriate as n difference over prop
erty.
1T is true that two seconds have been
named on my behalf but really II was
suggested that the duel was not n mat
ter 20 deal with seriously. At one time
or another ! suppose Sir Claude has
challenged the whole country"
Recall. the Days of ChivaIry.
Sir Claude r. tall and straight and
looks 10 be about SO years old and a
regular Don Quixote. he talks as IL he
thinks II IL all wrong that the world
should move on from those glorious days
OF old In the atmosphere OF which he
lives. So much is his home and fits fur
nishings part of bygone days that the
rattle Of the prosaic taxicabs In the
streets outside sounded a discordant
note.
Lord Kenyon Is quite the reverse
Formerly he Was soldier. but is now
vigorous man OF business. keen

physique. Perhaps " Is not out OF

possible
The amount at stake in any suit
brought in the Supreme Courts In
other counties must be in excess of $50.
To defend these actions, tenants many
of them poor families, must go to the
county where the proceedings are
pending. and the loss in railroad fare
and time would often amount to more
than even exorbitant increases in rent.
Justice RobitZek said that several cor

changing their offices. had made a

hardship, confusion and chaos. The

By FRED H.. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau The Age-HeraId. 221t2 First National Bank Bui1din,

Montgomery, November 1S.-(Spe- cial)-Railroads, operating in Ala bama, will be given another oppor;u- rity to convince the public service commission that the surcharge of 50 Ler cent on all Pullman tickets is a fair and legitimate assessment against the travelling public. The commission today granted their petition for an- other hearing and set tho case for December 6. The petition for the ex- tra levy on Pullman rates was denied early in the month
 Railroads now contend the commis- sion did not have sufficient evidence before it to show why the charge should be made. By the original order. the charge on Pullman tickets, which was established temporarily, would have been abandoned November 2S, but the commission granted permission for a continuation of the assessment un- til decision on the rehearing is rem dcred but in no event shall the charge continue beyond December Is unless the petition is granted.

 MT. Hoxsey insisted that the lund was not too great, and stated that he had reched the conclusion that the fund for depreciation and replacement should contain minimum of S1 per cent of the capital and a maximum of S9.5 per cent. He said his concluston was reached after figuring the fife of telephone equipment and taking into consideration all elements which gre faced by telephone company.
 The cities counsel also brought the admission from MT.

Hoxsey explained that it was absolutely neces- sary now to pay per cent for money, and that funds cannot be obtained with which to make necessary extensions and changes unless this dividend can be assured. He said the net revenue of 6.2 per cent could pay a dividend of 8 per cent and set aside per cent be- cause operating portion of the capital of the company is now in long time bonds which were obtained at less than Is per cent, many being as low as per
