SOCIALISTS WERE UNDER PARTY RULE New York Members of Or- , ganization Must Sign Blank Resignations Before Election, Says Lunn. SPEECHESTOBE READ

(By Associated Press) ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 28 Testimony to support the allegation that the Socialist party required its candidates for public office to sign a blank resignation before election, was given by Mayor George H. Lunn of Schenectady, today at the trial of the five suspended socialist assemblymen before the assembly judiciary committee. John B. Stanchfield, associate counsel, has indicated that he intends to read into the records some speeches at another point in the hearings. In reply to a question from Seymiour Stedman of Chicago, temporarily

directing the case for the defense. Mr. Xpstanchfield said yesterday these speeches included some by Assemblyinian Louis Waldman and Charles 1 Solomon, defendants. Mayor Lunn, who was read out of the party, told the committee that he formerly was a member of the Socialist party and in 1911 was the party's (candidate for mayor. He received a call at 11 o'clock the (night before the election from Charles INoonan and Russell Hunt, party leaders in "the city, who told him that he 7r.U9t sign a document which proved i to be an undated resignation. "This aroused my ire," he said, "but I signed it." Felt He Was Controlled. After serving from 1912 to 1914 he ;v.as renominated but not elected. He .attributed his defeat to the fact that voters learned lha lie had signed the resignation blank and felt he was controlled by the- Socialist local, rather ;1han by the citizens as a whole. "Therefore", said Mr. Lunn, although he had refused to sign the pledge at the time of his second nomination, he decided in 1913, when he was named for the third time, to make a public statement regarding his repudiation of that section in the party constitution. He said that he was much opposed to the present proceedings against the Socialists, although his antagonism 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 control, and distribution of patronage.

Irish Clergy Opposes

Proposed Education Bill

fRv Associated Press)

MAYNOOTH. Ireland, Jan. 2S. strong condemnation of the proposed Irish education bill was expressed today at the assembly here of the cardinal, archbishops and bishops. Speakers described the measure as the most demoralizing scheme put forward for Ireland since the Act of Union. They declared that until Ireland was governing herself an attempt to abolish the existing boards of edu cation, as proposed by this bill, would lie resisted, as tha measure deprived the clergy of control. If it were put Jn force, it was insisted, it would be th duty of the heirarchy to instruct Catholic parents regarding the education of their children.

GOODRICH DECIDES NOT TO ENTER RACE

FOR U.S. PRESIDENCY

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 28. Governor

James P. Goodrich announced Tues

day night that he would not be a can

didate for the presidency. The statement says:

"I have been urged by mv friends

to become a candidate for the nomination for president at the coming Republican 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 Mav

It, therefore, is both necessary and

proper that I now announce my de

cision on this proposal. "While I 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, I have finally determined not to be a candidate. Sees No Hope for Success. "It seems quite evident that if I should become a candidate, others would come into the state, as they have a 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. - "I 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, provides 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 aa an avowed candidate. After an almost open break between Watson and Goodrich, the governor, backed by part of the state organization, 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 its 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 ben made between the company- and the commercial club, by which it is believed the entire plant secured by the Refrigerator 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 a special committee

which had the pending legation in charge. In consideration of the new agreement, 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 31,

1920, to begin active operation of the plant, which it is agreed shall employ an average of 100 men during threefourths of a 24 month period, such period being the time of non performance under the old agreement. If at the end of this year the company has not, by itself, or through an arrangement which it Is privileged to make with other manufacturers, put plant In operation, then the commercial club, for a 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 a value fixed by an appraisal company, the proper expenses of all of which shal be paid by the Refrigerator Company. 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 originally 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 co-operate 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.

Treaty Absurd, Says Count Apponyi, Writing Answer (By Associated Press) BUDAPEST, Tuesday, Jan. 27. Count Albert Apponyi is engaged in writing Hungary's answer to the terms of peace submitted at Neuilly by the peace conference. He said today there were many clauses which were impossible of fulfillment. "There are 60 absurdities in the proposed treaty. One of these takes away all our wood and Iron ore while another demands that we give wood and ore to the Austrians. What affects our people most is the loss of territory. As for the economic conditions wo know we can never fulfill them so they cannot matter so much. If a man asks me to pay a thousand dollars I may do so but if he demands a billion I know I can't comply and so should not worry." The depressing effects of the treaty are evident in Buda Pest. Wines are not served at hotels, flags are halfmasts and St. Stephen's Crown on the

Royal palace has been draped in

black.

Before senate leaders are ready to throw up the sponge and admit that further compromise negotiations on the peace treaty in the bi-partisan conference are futile, they will make another effort tomorrow to overcome the stumbling blocks found in Article X and the Monroe doctrine.
