CONTRACTOR SUES
TWO LABOR GROUPS
Charges Employing Plasterers and
Union With Conspiracy to Force
Him to Pay Dues.

Suit for an injunction was filed to-
day in the District Supreme Court by
George w. Lee, plastering contractor,
kreSge Building, to prevent officers of
the Employing Plasterers Association
and Local No. 90, of the PlaSterers
Union, from interfering with one of
his contracts, by calling off the labor
ers employed by him. Lee charges that
the action of the unions is to force
him to pay dues to the associations
from which he had withdrawn last
April.
Through Attorneys Simon Hirshman
and AaronSon SI Shefferman the plain
tiff tells the court that he recently
made contract with the r. p. Witty
Co. to do the plaStering on an apart
ment at Rhode Island avenue and
Fifteenth street northeast on which
only union labor was to be employed
and which contained a provision that
the contract might be terminated II
the work was not pushed.
He charges that the defendants,
February 5, entered into a conspiracy
to compel him to pay the back dues
in the association by calling off the
laborers employed by him on the Job.
In addition to the two associations
there are named as defendants Harry
Fur, 2138 K street, president of the
local; Alexander Nelson, 1913 Buchan-
an street, an inspector for the associa-
ton; Harry Rithery, I'll Tenth street
northeast, business manager of the
local, and A. Bussard, 2129 G street,
president OF the association.

Lincoln Death Described
Letter Of John P. Usher Interior Secretary in 1865,
to His Wife, Pictures Distress in Small
Room Opposite Ford Thedter.

A hitherto unpublished eyewitness
account of the death of Abraham Linz
coin has been obtained by the Library
of Congress.
1t is a copy of a letter from John P.
Usher, Secretary of the Interior in Lin
coins cabinet. to his wife, written on
April 16, 1865, shortly after Lincoln
died. The copy was secured from Mrs
Wesley Taylor, a descendant of Usher.
The cabinet officer believed that he
also was intended for death by the as
saSsinS and naturally was in bitter
mood toward them. He went to the
Presidents death chamber as soon as he
heard on the street of the shooting and
remained there until Lincoln breathed
his last.
The letter follows:
THE papers have given you full ac-
counts of the diabolical deeds which
lately have transpired here. but as you
will be doubtless anxious to hear from
me personally, hasten to write you
word. On the day of the assassination
Of the President we had all been with
him and Gen. Grant at long cabinet
meeting commencing at IL o'clock. The
meeting was entirely harmonious and
the President never appeared to better
advantage He was inspired with the
hope that the war and strife were near
ly over and was meeting with his aSso-
ciateS to consider ways and means to
restore to the troubled States govern
ment and security. He was full of char
ity to all and only thought of dealing
with those who had led the people into
rebellion.
Two Arrests Ordered.
Among the last acts of his life be-
fore he left his chamber never to return
was to advise Stanton to book an order
of his for the arrest of Jacob Thompson
and Beverly Tucker If they should APP
pear in Portland, Me-, to take vessel
for Europe. You know his goodness. He
was too good. It is now probable that
the conspiracy for the assassination
was organized in Canada by these same
men.
1T is now thought that it embodied
destruction of the Vice President and
cabinet. Two men came to Fowler'S that
night and inquired for me and on being
told that had gone to a hotel, but Mr..
Fowler did not know where, they were
quite incredible and went away. A man
was heard by Speed walking on his back
porch and one was found at Stanton's
hidden behind a tree box, who ran
away. A person took cover at the Kirk
wood House, where the Vice President
was staying, and the next morning there
was found on his lawn a coat in which
there was pistol ammunition and be-
tween the bed a huge bowie knife. In
the pocket of the coat was found the
handkerchief of Booth and his bank
book and he sent card to Gov. john
son that day with a note upon it saying
he did not wish to disturb him, but
merely desired to know if he was in his
room.
$50 I think there is no doubt Of their
intents. There were six of the assassins.
They all drank together on that eve
ming at coffee house opposite the Ford

the beach at some far-away watering
place and bask in the sun. He wanted
to get his hand in at big game hunting
again, too, and thought he might take
a side trip into African jungIes.
Just one thing was annoying him. He
was going to have to entertain his
friends, and since he had no wife he
supposed he must get hostess. In
addition he needed a young man Of
pleasing appearance and good refer
ences to serve as his factotum. The
word got around and the genteel Mr..
Clayton was besieged with applicants.

FOUR IDENTIFY MAN IN HOLD-UPS
AS POLICE PROBE OTHER CASES
Apple Vendor Denies ACCUSE
tons After Radio Aids
His Arrest.
Theater Safe Is Blown Up
and Diplomats Liquor Re-
ported Stolen.

While holdup victims were identify
ing Emil Bryan Cundiff, an apple
vender, as the man who robbed them
Saturday night, police today were in
vestigating safe-cracking in a the
alter and the theft of liquor and money
from the apartment of a Bolivian Le-
cation attache in the Wardman Park
Hotel.
Although Cundif denied having per-
petrated the holdups, he was identified
by the victims of four of them, accord
ing TO police, and the victims of other
hold-upS will attempt to identify him at
police headquarters tonight.
Cundih was arrested early yesterday
by Detective r. j. Cox at Connecticut
avenue and L street a minute after the
detective had received a radio message
that hold-up had occurred in the
vicinity of the Mayflower Hotel. Cox
who was riding in a radio-equipped au-
tomoblle, was at Fifteenth and L streets
when he received the message.
Those who have identified Cundiff,
according to police, are Charles s.
Richardson of Roanoke, Va; Clifford
Sanford, 1853 Biltmore street: Norman
Goldman, 1880 New Hampshire ave-
nue.; Kay Needles, 2514 @ street. and
Milton Strauss, 1900 F street.
The capture of Cundiff, in the opin-
ion OF Inspector William S. Shelby,
chief OF detectives, is a striking ex-
ample OF the effectiveness of the radio
system used by the Police Department.

A nimble-witted confidence man with
grand manner and slick Zine" who
made suckers" out of several WASH
ingtonians recently, was in the port of
missing men today.
His name; so far as police were able
to learn, Is Robert G. Clayton. Perhaps
the G stands for cleverness. At any
rate, he slipped a fast one" over on his
somewhat gullible victims before diSap-
pearing, his pockets well lined with coin
of the realm.
The swindler was described to police
as an immaculate, ruddy complexioned
individual of about 40. His high fore
head and sprinkling of gray hair about
his temples combined to give him a dis
tinguished appearance. Apparently a
blue-blooded ariStocrat with money to
burn, he was as suave as they come.
His method was something like this:

DROUGHT BROKEN
OVER WIDE SECTION
Nearby Areas as Well as
Midwest Benefited-CoIder
Here Tomorrow.

With all mail and passenger planes
fogbound here since Saturday, the in
termittent drizzle of the last "a hours
developed into a steady rain, which
Weather Bureau officials said would
continue through the day.
Drought relief in the form of the
| first good rainfall since November came
to parched lands in IL States over the
week end.
| Although a precipitation Of only IL
| inch had been recorded here up to
| O'Clock this morning, the increasing
steadiness of the rainfall was expected
to have good effects in outlying dis
trictS of Virginia and Maryland, where
| the need for rain is acute. Today's
rain will be followed by fair and colder
weather, it was said. The minimum
temperature tonight will be about 80
degrees.
300 Men Laid Of.
Today's rain sent most of the 800 per
diem employees of the Office of public
buildings and public parks home to be
placed on furlough without pay tenn
porarily for the first time in many
months.
In the ordinary course of business,
per diem employees lose about so days
annually, due to inclement weather,
when they are sent home. During the
drought, however, Uncle Sam has had
to pay them $3.50 a day, aggregating
about $1,000. to keep them engaged in
cleaning up the parks and attending to
the plant life, so that it would not be
burned up in the intense heat. AS
high as $500 per day was spent for
water alone during the maximum period
of heat during the Summer.
Rain that the Weather Bureau de-
scribed as "godsend'' to farmers, fell
in belt extending from Western Penn
Sylvania Southwestward to Eastern
Texas, beginning Friday night and con-
tinuing today.
1t varied from half an inch in the
Ohio Valley to a downpour, totaling
four inches. at Fort Smith, Ark,
All of Arkansas, where the Red Cross
is feeding thousands impoverished by
the drought, received at least an inch
of rainfall.
The rain was heavy enough to
moiSten the top soil and prepare it
for Spring planting, and to relieve the
water shortage in most of the drought
area at least temporarily, Weather Blu
reau officials said.
Nearby States Get Rain.
Western Pennsylvania, Western Mary
land and West Virginia all received
about three-quarters of an inch of rain.
In the Ohio Valley, Indiana and Illinois
it rained approximately half an inch.
Kentucky had heavy rains, averaging
an inch all over the State, and even
more fell in Tennessee, which received
about an inch and quarter. Northern
Louisiana and Southeastern Oklahoma
had about half an inch
Practically no rain fell in the wheat
belt that includes Northern Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and South
Dakota.
No more rain is forecast for the
drought area in the next few DAYS, as
the low pressure area that brought it is
moving northeaStward
