SOME BAD WORDS; DISTURBS COURT
Cat Tries to Capture Bird in Cage and Shrieks Arouse
Judicial Ire at Trial of Man for Hitting an
Organ Grinder With a Brick
STAND BY CONNELLY
A public hearing to thresh out the ques
tion of compromising the city's suit agaliiHt
John R. Wiggins & Co.. contractors, Henry
Clay, former Director of Public Safety, and
other defendants In the so-called "contract
scandal," was advocated today by Holed
Councilman J O. Conroy of the L'lith Ward,
chairman of Councils' Law Committee.
"The public should be acquainted with
all the facts," said Mr. Conroy "Former
City Solicitor Ryan says that the defend
ants agroed to settle for ll.'IS 000. City
Soh'ltor Qonnelly recommends that tht city
ett'e for $40,000. Th?re Is a divergence of
opinion here hat ought to be cleared up.
"I arh In favor of having Public Service
, Commissioner Ityan present at the public
r hearing and have him tell us Just what con
versation took place between him and the
attorneys representing former Director of
Public Safety Clay and tho other defend
ants.". , '
City Solicitor John P. Connelly today de
clined to reply to charges by former City
Solicitor Ityan that he had suppressed
terms of agreement In the city's suit.
"I have absolutely no reply to make."
aid1 Mr. Connelly, who on Thursday recom
mended that Councils settle the suit for
MO.OOO. "My attitude Is the same today
as It waB yesterdny. I believe It Is bet
ter to settle for a certain sum now than
to undergo months and possibly years of
.litigation. r
"However, I am not the sole Judge Alam
bers of Councils will have something to
say before the matter Is settled out of
court. I have made my recommendation to
Councils, but If Councils suggest thai the
suit be tried I am ready to prepare for a
trial."
Mr. Ryan declined to add anything to
his charges made S'esterday. In which he
said Mr. Connelly omitted from the mem
orandum to Councils the final paragraph in
which he advised Mr. Connelly not to settle
the BUlt for less than $125;000. The pora
y graph In part read as follows:
Magistrate Wrlglev and the spectators In
his courtroom at tho Belgrade and Clcarveld
street police station, were nstunoded. Thoy
had a right to be. for the trlul of Felix
Xaradshl, 22 yenrs old. of 2910 Melvale
stieet, bad been Interrupted by n loud,
clear, shrill, angry, and seemingly feminine
oath. Interpreted nftcrwnrds, It had meant:
"Get the h out of here !"
No wonder, then, that Magistrate Wrigley
nrose from his Judicial bench and demand
ed that the bourt olllcers bring the culprit
before him for punishment. He also start
ed looking around, in the hope of locating
a woman who looked ns if she swore, when
insult was ,ntldeil to Injury, by a still
angrier and more shrill repetition: "I
said to get tho li out of here."
The sound seemed to have come from tho
corridor and court olllcrs ruxhed there
to bring In the swearing woman who had
marred the solemnity of the Judicial pro
ceedings, und they found the offender. They
nlho found the reason for thu oITense.
The latter was a cat, with Its back raised
and tnlt wagging. It crouched ready for
a spring at a parrot In- a cage. And the
parrot was nngry, very angry. For tho
third time she swore: "What In tho h
the matter with you, you d nut?"
The court olllcers pinched the parrot and
brought her before the magistrate, who de
manded lo know who owned It. Morris
Vetzer, nn organ grinder, 207 Catharlno
street, acknowledged he was the proud pos
(lessor of the bird. Ho apologized profuso
ly for her bad habits and Maglstrnto TVrlg
ley accepted It the apology, not the par
rot finally In god humor.
Vctzer wn3 the complaining witness
against Knrndskl, whom he charged with
hitting him on the nrm with a brick. Since
the assault, said Vetzer, he has been un
able to pl.iy his organ Zaradskl was held
In $500 ball for a further henrlng next
Saturday. Vetzer promised not to bring
his parrot on his second trip.

ily n BtaJT Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 20. Southern
States, which can exercise no Influence In
the election of a Republican President be
cause of their -overwhelming Democratic
majorities, will have so many delegates In
the Chlcugo convention next month that
they may determine who the 'Republican
nomlneo shall be, Just as they did. four
years ago.
After that there was a nation-wide de
mand f r a reduction in the representation
of States that could send no Republicans
to the electoral college.
With the Idea of bringing many of the
Progressives back Into the Republican
party, promises were made by all the lead
ers that before the next National Conven
tion there would -. a reapportionment.
HUT LITTMO CHANGE.
Such a scheme was worked out and rati
fied, but a comparison of the delegates In
the IK 12 convention, with those authorized
for the 1915. shows that the influence of
the South In selecting the Republican
nominee has been weakened but little. In
stead of having it.l per cent, of the con
vention, the Southern States, which can
contribute nothing In the general election,
will have 15.6 per cent,
Indeed, the reupp jrtlonment agreed upon
has proved a boon trang In some respects,
for It has reduced some of the big States
of the North In their representation Inline
convention,. New York, or example, will
have three fewer delegates than she had
four years ago. With New York a doubt
ful State, and the1 home of several men
whoBe names will be presented to the con
vention for nomination, many Republican
leaders are hostile to the reorganization
which weakened her strength.
DEI,KOATK APPORTIONMENT.
The following comparison shows the
changes made under the reapportionment
plan adopted:
