SPEECHES TO Be READ
(By Associated Press)

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 2S-Testimony
to support the allegation that the Soc
1alist party required its candidates for
public office to sign a blank reslgna-
ton before election. was given by
Mayor George II. Lunn Of Schenec-
tady, today at the trial of the five sus-
pended socialist assemblymen before
the assembly judiciary committee.
John b. Stanchfield, associate coun-
sci, has indicated that he intends to
read into the records some speeches
at another point in the hearings.
In reply to question from Sey-
mour Stedman of Chicago, temporarily
directing the case for the defense. Mi.
pStanchfield said yesterday these
Z speeches included some by Assembly
man Louis Waldman and Charles
Solomon, defendants.
Mayor Lunn, who was read out OF
1.-THE party, told the committee that he
formerly was a member Of the Social
ist party and in 1911 was the party S
candidate for mayor.
He received a call at II o'clock the
might before the election from Charles
Noonan and Russell Hunt, party lead
iers in the city, who told him that he
Imust sign a document which proved
TO De an u0Odleu T6SlSHdtlou
This aroused my ire" he said,
''but l signed it."
Felt He Was Controlled.
After serving from 1912 to 1914 he
was renominated but not elected. He
attributed his defeat to the fact that
voters learned tha he had signed the
resignation blank and felt he was con-
trolled by the, Socialist local, rather
than by the citizens as whole.
"Therefore", said Mr.. Lunn, al
though he had refused to sign the
pledge at the time of his second
nomination, he decided in 1915, when
he was named for the third time, to
make public statement regarding his
reputation of that section in the party
constitution.
He said that he was much opposed
to the present proceedings against
the Socialists, although his antag-
onism to the party is very great. The
Socialist party, he declared, differed
from other political parties in that it
asserted its right to dictate the con-
troll, and distribution of patronage.

GOODRICH DECIDES
NOT TO ENTER RACE
FOR US. PRESIDENCY
General Woods Latest Picture.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2S.-Governor
James P. Goodrich announced Tues
day night that he would not be a can
didate for the presidency.
The statement says:
Il have been urged by my friends
to become candidate for the nomina-
ton for president at the coming Re
publican national convention. My
friends in this state have circulated
petitions asking that my name be
placed on the ballot at the primary
election to be held in Indiana in May.
1t, therefore, is both necessary and
proper that l now announce my de-
cision on this proposal.
while 1 am deeply grateful to the
thousands of Republicans in Indiana
who have signed the petitions and to
my friends in other states who have
given assurance of their support, l
have finally determined not to be a
candidate.
Sees No Hope for Success.
ut seems quite evident that if I
should become a candidate, others
would come into the state, as they
have perfect right to do, and contest
with me for the support of my own
state
This would make it imperative for
me to conduct. outside of the state,
the sort of campaign that is necessary
in order to afford any reasonable hope
of success.
81 am not willing to enter into any
contest simply for the naked honor
of having the vote of my own state,
and becoming what is known as a
favorite-son candidate"
Withdrawal of Governor Goodrich
as a candidate for the presidency, pro-
vides an interesting episode in the
bitter political strife raging in Indiana.
Senator James E. Watson was being
groomed for the presidency himself
until the governor loomed up as an
avowed candidate.
After an almost open break between
Watson and Goodrich, the governor,
backed by part of the state organiza-
ton, forced the senator to relinquish
his ambitions.

SHIRK co. CASE IS
COMPROMISED; WORK
TO START IN 1920

Case of the Richmond commercial
club against the United Refrigerator
companies, requiring the performance
by the corporation of it's agreement to
employ an average Of 100 working men
over a given period of time, which was
called for trial in the Henry county
circuit court at Newcastle, Tuesday,
has been compromised.
A new agreement has been made be-
tween the company and the CONNER
cial club, by which it is believed the
entire plant secured by the Refrigerat-
or company in 1916, will be in active
operation within the present year.
Negotiations to this end have been
carried on by attorneys for several
days, and the final contract was con-
sumated Wednesday morning at a
meeting of the directors of the COM
mercial club, and special committee
which. had the pending legation in
charge.
In consideration of the new agree
ment, the suit at Newcastle will be
dismissed, and the new contract is
substituted for the old one.
Must Begin This Year
BY the terms of the new contract
the company has until December 81.
1920, to begin active operation of the
plant, which it is agreed shall employ
an average of 100 men during three
fourths of a "a month period, such
period being the time of non perform
ance under the old agreement.
If at the end of this year the COM
pany has not, by itself, or through an
arrangement which it is privileged to
make with other manufacturers, put
plant in operation, then the CONNER
cial club, for year, has the privilege
of negotiating for the occupancy and
operation of the plant.
These negotiations shall be carried
on upon an agreed valuation or upon
value fixed by an appraisal company,
the proper expenses of all of which
shall be paid by the Refrigerator Com
pany.
Shirk Gives Assurance
Joseph H Shirk, a banker of Peru,
Indiana, is now in active charge Of the
refrigerator properties, and he has
assured the commercial club officials
that he recognizes the obligation origi
| nally made by his company, and that
he will make an active and good effort
to start the wheels moving in the
plant and put workmen on the pay
rol there.
The commercial club officers say
that they have confidence in Mr.
Shirk and they intend to cooperate
with him to the fullest extent
All parties to the negotiations were
| happy over the termination of the
litigation, and expressed themselves
as believing that the whole matter is
now on a workable basis.

the trial of Truman H. Newberry and
1913 Of his associates charged with vio-

today, with the arrival here of score
of defendants and veniremen whose
absence yesterday due to snowbound
trains, had halted the proceedings.

ors was generally expected to occupy
the first week of the trial, and there
were some who predicted that the
taking of testimony would be delayed
at least 10 days.
Although there had been intimations
that attorneys for the defense would
seek further delay in the trial to
permit of the presence of James O..
Murfin, of defense counsel. who is ill
at Detroit, no statement was made on
the subject, before court convened.
Martin w. Littleton, senior counsel
for the defense, had reserved the right
to enter motion for further postpone
ment this morning.
Gated his unwillingness to delay the
case on this ground yesterday and
ma de it plain that illness of defend
ants, outside of the so-called princi-
pals, would not halt the proceedings.
Two of the defendants were excused
from presenting themselves in court
daily, the Judge indicating they would
be given a separate trial.
To speed up the case which at best
is expected to continue four to six
weeks, the court day has been extend
ed to five hours-from 80 a. m. un-
til 4:3O p. NJ, with a two-hour recess
at noon.
