"It is psrfoctly true that th . axecutiv ooneil of th Iron Worker' Union voted a monthly fund of 11,000 to be paid to John J. MeNamara.

"I have lately come from Indian apolis where I conferred with United States District Attorney Charles W. Miller.

The New Grand Central Palace waa transformed to day into an immense barnyard, and all day long it resounded with the cackling of hens, crowing of roosters, quacking of docks and geese, piping of canaries, while the sounds from other varieties of poultry contributed to the musical medley in tbc great building. The fifth annual exhibition of the Empire Poultry Association waa opened this morning and the show will continue through the week. Tomorrow the Cst Show will be add ed to the attractions.
