This Was When the Walking Delegate Was Forcing Tiffany To Pay $500 to Avoid Trouble with the Labor New York, October first witness called in the present trial of Samuel Parks, on the charge of extortion, was Benjamin Thackara, who took the stand when court opened today.

Thackara is the man who it is alleged was sent today to the Tiffany corporation to see Parks and ascertain why the men employed by it had stopped working in some buildings in this city last December. He told of his meeting with Parks and of having asked him why the men had stopped work. Parks said, according to the witness, "Tiffany is fined $500, and if you're not prepared to settle, send Tiffany to see me." Thackara said that he asked Parks to go and see Tiffany, but the accused said: "You go back and tell Tiffany to go to and Jerome and the whole crowd." What Parks Said. David Frazee, general superintendent, employed by Tiffany studios, testified to an interview with Parks In a saloon January 5, when Parks again said that Tiffany was- fined $500. Later on, the same day, Frazee, accompanied by Lewis Schmitt, of the Tiffany corporation, visited Parks in his Schmitt asked Parks.

own home. why the the witness said, "fine" of $500 was Parks replied: imposed, and "Now, you're fined $500, and you are getting off light. -It ought to I be $1,000 am not in this business and for my health, you are getting off firms easy. Other have, done business with you don't me, and if wish to pay you like some other can fight minds firms, who changed their so quick." said: according to the witness, then Schmitt, "We have to pay this to do money in order "That's business?" is for it," said Parks; "but it "Does that sounds better." this money union?" go to the labor asked Schmitt. "It goes to Sam Parks," made by the was the reply witness.

accused, according to the Paying Business for Parks. "I have lost my. health lot of ungrateful working for a who would throw me down in a minute if not go right. I am did everything going away soon for my health, and after a few will not months you hear of Sam Parks in labor troubles. I've got enough to comfortable during the rest of me keep my life." Discussing the method of payment, witness quoted Parks as saying he did not.

take checks, and that he did not generally talk of these matters when there were two persons present. On cross examination Frazee admitted that his side had sought Parks because they had to. Witness stated that Parks said he should throw some work in their way, and that Parks said they could employ union labor or non-union labor if they saw fit, if they paid the fine. The court ruled out of order a dozen questions which Mr. Osborne asked in regard to the increased wages of the housesmiths and bridgemen and other benefits brought about by the union.

Frazee said he was mistaken when he swore the defendant said: "The money goes to Sam Parks." The words were, "The money goes to Sam Parks and a few others." As soon as court reconvened Jesse Lorrier, secretary of local No. 2, of the Housesmiths' and Bridgemen's Union, of which the defendant, Parks, is the bust: ness agent, was called and gave the names of the union men who were working for the Tiffany studios on December 30 and quit work on December 31. He Didn't Want a Check. Louis Schmitt, treasurer of Tiffany studios, was the next witness and hig story of the interview with Parks on November 5 was in the main corroborative of Frazee's testimony earlier in the day. Parks told them that the fine should be paid and until it was not a bit of work would be done on the Tiffany jobs.

The witness said that Parks' reply to his question as to whom the money would go, was "4t goes to Sam Parks, and you can 80 to any of the Arms that have done. business with me and And out that Sam Parks' word goes." Schmitt testified that Parks refused to accept a -check when he suggested that method of paying the "fine." saying: "You don't think that I was born I want bills and you can get them marked by Tiffany or Jerome, or any one you like. A stir went through the court room when witness told of Parks saying that he could employ non-union men. "Why, the union men will I said to the witness declared. 'Never Parks replied, 'I've got these muzzled and if any of them objects, will fine him $50, and he can't get another job in the Gave Parks $500.

Schmitt then testifed that he had gone alone to Parks' residence on January 7, two days later. and handed Parks an envelope containing the $500 In bills and gold. Both men had verified the amount. Parka then said that the mea casume work the lollowing morning, watch they Bid. During the cdross-examination Schmitt said that Parks told him that the Tiffany studios could employ non-union or union labor as they deemed At.

Parks had told the witness that the Heckla Iron Works had paid him $2,000, but not that he had distributed this among the members of his organization. He knew that Parks was committing a crime in accepting the $500 and Parks' intimation that he might report it to the district attorney if he liked had quite taken his breath away. At tne conclusion of Schmitt's testimony court adjourned for the day. Proves Hepert Untrue. Columbus, October Judge H.

SHEDDEN. Manager, ATLANTA, GA. THE PASSING THRONG. One of the brightest, most accomplished and attractive of Atlanta's women was disappointed in circus the other day. She said so to some friends and was later persuaded to write her after-circus thoughts.

There is a note in what she says that may prove familiar to many others. This is what she wrote: "In looking at the spectacular performance of the mammoth circus now in our midst one cannot help but be struck with the absence of the old-fashioned chivalry of the ring. Is it the passing of the circus lady of our youth with her gauze skirts and gracious manner? We no: longer see the mighty ringmaster bowing and scraping to the lady rider and we miss the clown, who, through all his buffoonery, knew how to be the true kinght errant of the circus lady. There was an element of Columbine and Pierrot in the old time one-ring circus which was full of sawdust romance and which we miss in the modern aggregation. transition is indicative of the new woman in every day life.

We no longer have the lady rider, but equestriennes and women artists. Even among the acrobats we find little to suggest romance. The women performers are as highly trained and highly priced as their brother actors. They work side by side on the trapeze and ask no favors of the gallery, but invite equal criticism with the men actors. "It may be the zeitgeist has changed, or it may mean that I am growing old, but I sadly miss the old time lady with her gauze skirts, her stereotyped smile, dainty hand kiss, from the new performance.

I want the ringmaster to bow and when she enters the ring, and I clown to serve her with the pretty grace of the true gentleman which is not by the grotesque us by all means continue to appeal to the imagination and to color even our amusements with the romance and poetry of chivalry. "If the madern circus his lost in romance it has gained in administration and the well-fed, jolly faces of the a army of followers is an improvement on the pathetic poverty of the time circus hanger- The easy management of the great crowd, the courteous and kind attention of each attendant attests the executive ability of the manager of the modern circus." "Dowie's Zion City is a very remarkable place." said J. J. Cook, of Chicago, at the Piedmont hotel yesterday. "I have 8 brother who lives at Waukegan, which is only 6 miles from Zion City.

INTIMATIONS ARE DECLARED FALSE Continued from First Page. Loan Association litigation in the United yours, CHARLES T. HOPKINS. LUTHER Z. ROSSER.

What John T. Pendleton Says. States court. We filed the original bill in this case and were actively and closely connected with the case until its final termination by a sale of the assets of the company. Just prior to this sale and after a proposition to purchase the assets had been made.

Hon. Don A. Pardee made a formal order of reference to Mr. Robert C. Alston.

The purposes of Mr. Alston's investigation were, first, to ascertain and fix the expenses of the litigation; second, to ascertain and fix the value of the remaining assets. The entire hearing was for the purpose of enabling the court to determine whether the bid made for the assets was a reasonable and proper one, under all the circumstances. This hear. ing was had in the usual way, in the place, after the usual notice to all parties concerned.

It was public, open and free. It was contested in part and the hearing covered several days. The matters involved were fully and fairly presented to: the auditor. He, as we believe fully and fairly considered the evidence and argument of counsel and filed a report which was satisfactory to all parties concerned, and which, after being considered by Judge Pardee, was confirmed by him without objection being made by anybody. We believed at the time, and believe now, that the price offered and accepted by the court for the assets of this association was a just and fair one under all the circumstances.

We were glad to obtain the price paid, and have seen no reason since that time to regret this action. It is not correct that Judge Pendleton was named as a recelver by Mr. Wimbish. Under the terms of the settlement the association and we were to "name the other. We name one receiver selected Judge Pendleton his knowlor consent and without any conferedge ence having occurred between Judge Pendieton and Mr.

Wimbish. Very truly Ellis, Atlanta, Wimbish October 28, Ellis, City. Gentlemen: In connection with the intervention filed in the Building and Loan case in the United States court I desire to state that I had no knowledge Fecelhatever, that I would be appointed after I was appointed and was notified of my appointment by Mr. Rosser and Mr. Hopkins, they stating to me that the attorneys who represented the association had selected one receiver, Mr.

Henderson, and they as representing the creditors filing the bill had selected me. So far as I now recall no one ever mentioned to me anything about the appointment of an attorney for the receivers. My best impression that I recommended Mr. Wimbish to the court simply upon the idea that he had the business in hand and was known to be well versed in building and loan law. On the trial of this matter before the -special master I furnished all the information in my office as to the value of the assets and gave the special master the beneft of all the information that I had with reference to the same.

Mr. Wimbith had attended te the legal business of the association and I do not think he had any Intimation whatever as to the real estate we had or the amount of It, or any other assets except the loans which were in suit which were turned over to him. I was thoroughly satisfied at the time that the finance company bought the assets that it was doubtful question as -to whether they would make or lose money. Very truly yours, JOHN T. PENDLETON.

Atlanta, October 26, EUs, (st 6 KIKs, Cm In reference to the intervention recently died concerning the sale of the assets of the Atlanta National Building and Loan Association, and in accordance with your request, will say that prior to the sale I made as careful an investigation of the value of the assets as- circumstances permitted, and that the value of the assets for the purpose of sale 88 found by the master was reasonable and fair, and I so testified. The valuations made to the receivers, upon which a portion of the estimates of value were based, were given by entirely disinterested parties, and the values set forth in the receiver's statement were as accurate and full as conditions permitted.

Pardee. passed an order referring to me as master the question- of the value of the remaining assets of the said association, with authority to take evidence and report the value of all the available assets of the association, the value of the real estate, Its locafion, its cost to the association, actual value and estimated value at forced sale; also the value of loans on real estate, the amount due on the loan, the location of the real estate, and in brief all the questions that might throw any light on the question of the value of the property, the availabie assets of the association still in the hands of the receiver at the date of the above reference. The receivers had already paid about, I think, 60 per cent of the withdrawal value of the stock. being about 75 per cent of. the aetual amount paid in by the stockholders on account of the stock.

The question before me was simply to value the remaining avail-. able assets of the association and report such value to the court, the purpose being to wind up the affairs of tie association as soon as practicable so that the stockholders might get what they were entitled to. In pursuance of this order I notified' counsel representing complainants, defendant association and "the receivers, and the two receivers, and a hearing was had. I made a full investigation of the questions submitted to me by Judge Pardee, considered carefully all the evidence as to the value of the assets, examined personally the entire records of the receivership, took testimony of the value of every piece of real estate And every unpaid loan, and made a full report to the court. So far as I know or have any reason to.

believe, the hearing before me was full, fair and without the slightest purpose on the part of any one to keep back any fact that might throw light on the questions to be decided The report I made in the case was carefully considered by me and I made a report covering the order of reference which was on consideration confirmed by Judge Very truly yours, R.
