N. Y. Federation of
f Agriculture Plans
Fight on Whitman
Reprisals Threatened if Al?
bany Meeting Carries
Out Programme
Centre Fire on Frazer
Livingston County Bankruptcy
Record? Cited as Indication
of Counter Attack
The New York Federation of Agri?
culture, in order to make trouble for
Governor Whitman and his supporters,
has arranged a meeting for perma
ncnt organization, to be held at the
Ten Eyck HoteL in Albany, on Friday
morning, June 7.
The Whitman men have withheld
their fire, but holding the meeting in
Albany just as the pre-primary cam?
paign in favor of the Governor's re
nomination is on, Is likely tc provoke
reprisals against two of the organizers
of the federation, Seth J. T. Bush, its
secretary, and Samuel Fraser, its vice
president.
The Whitman men assert they have
evidence that Secretary Bush "double
crossed" John J. Dillon in his attempt
to obtain an officiai preferment at the
hands of the Gobcrnor. Mr. Dillon
formerly was on the State Food Com?
mission with Mr. Bush, and both were I
ignored by the Governor in appointing |
the Farms and Market Council.
The- Whitman men expect to make
Mr. Fraser do a lot of explaining by
calling attention to the bankruptcy
records in Livingston County, where
Mr. Fraser, one of the county's largest
fruit growers, filed petitions in bank?
ruptcy last month, with liabilities of
$72,000 and assets of $3,683.62. On tho
debit side were unsecured claims
amounting to $42,000 and secured
claims amounting to $29,000.
The Governor's political supporters
say the Federation of Agriculture is
not formidable because it never has
been able to federate the great agricult?
ural organizations of the state. They
call attention to the alleged fact that
the state granges and the dairymen's
associations have never gone into it,
and that it is in no sense a federation
ef farmers, but rather a political ma?
chine, organized in the interest of Mr.
Bush, Mr. Fraser and the Democratic
party.
The circular letter sent to about 2,000
farmer organizations around the state
inviting them to the meeting, says no
one but regularly accredited delegates

representing organizations that have
joined the federation and paid their
dues will be permitted to vote at the
meeting. A paragraph in the call says:
"If any additional Incentive were
needed to induce farmers to Join this
federation other than that of common
sense in uniting for the protection of
their own interests, it could be found
in the desperate efforts being made by
the politicians to belittle, misrepresent
and destroy it. The movement behind
this federation represents a call to
arms, a call to farms and a call to
reason."
The dues are $25 per delegate repre?
senting a farmer organization, and
every organization composed of at least
60 per cent actual farmers is eligible to
membership, and will be entitled to one
delegate up to 500 members.
Asks $25,000 Heart Balm
Girl Has Mining Engineer Ar?
rested for Breach of Promise
William J. Hammond, a mining en?
gineer, was arrested in his office in
the Equitable Building yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Murphy in a $25,000
breach of promise suit brought by
Miss Frances C. Currier. Hammond
was released on filing a bail bond for
$1,000.
Miss Currier alleges in her com?
plaint that Hammond promised, in
1916, to marry her, representing that
he was a single man. Since then, the
plaintiff Bays, she has learned that
Hammond was married when he made
his promise. Hammond has been in
Central America and South America
recently, and Miss Currier said in her
application for his arrest that she
feared he again would leave the juris?
diction of the court.
Miss "Currier included In her com?
plaint a copy of a letter which she
said Hammond wrote to her, and which
in part reads:
"Wish you could go to Colorado
with me. Wouldn't it be a delightful
jaunt? I would love you to death.
Well, dearie, that life together is yet
in store for us."
Miss J. M. Stoughton Engaged
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Stoughton,

of their daughter, Miss Josephine M.
Stoughton, to Humphrey Cuyler Tif?
fany, son of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Walton Cuyler Tiffany, of Newburgh.
Anti-Saloon League Will
Move to Larger Quarters
More room, more power, more drive?
this is the new slogan of the Anti-Sa?
loon League, which to-morrow will
move from its old quarters In the Pres?
byterian Building, 156 Fifth Avenue, to
occupy the entire sixteenth floor in the
modern loft building at 906 Broadway,

"The move was made imperative,"
said William H. Anderson, state super?
intendent, yesterday, "in order to get
sufficient room for work for the com?
ing campaign to elect a ratification
Legislature,"
