HEARING ADJOURNED The dispossess proceedings brought against the Poughkeepsie Hotel by the Morgan House Company, in an effort to get Henry 8.

Duncan to vacate the property known the Windsor Hotel, came up before City Judge Conger, in city court. The case be was adjourned for one week, when a trial by jury will be held. fled at the time, the case was called Ing the verified answer, which WAS for trial, Mr. Duncan, as president of the Poughkepsie Hotel Company, denied that he owed the Morgan House Company any money at all, 'alleging that it had been fully paid and more than that it was indebted to him. The lease he states provides that the Morgan House Company should complete the building which had failed to do.

It was also understood he says that if the Morgan House Company failed to complete the building, the Poughkeepsie Hotel Co. WAS authorized to have the work Anished and charge he expenses to the rent account. As a matter of fact, he states that the Poughkeepsie Hotel Company has more than paid the Morgan House for all the rent that would be due, having paid' the taxes. insurance, interest on bonds and the other items, counter charge, Mr. Duncan sets up the claim he has been injured to the exetent of over $10,000 by the failure of the owning company to complete the building and will ask that this amount be paid him for the loss he has sustained.

In a statement made to the EagleNews, Mr. Duncan says he has not called upon them to pay the interest on the bonds, but he did not propose to see the holders of the bonds lose i anything so long as he could prevent it. He 19 not going to let the case stop where it is, he says, it is going to carry it into other courts. He also promises some revelations that will astonish the residents. of this city before he is through.

Willett E. Hoysradt, as attorney for Mr. Duncan stated Thursday afternoon, "You can take it from me this thing is going to be fought out to the limit. Morgen House Company has not lived up to its agreement with this tenant, and has posed him to the criticism of the pub. lic and we are now going ahead and give the whole affair an airing, and let the people of Poughkeepsie see who is right." "The hotel is prosperous and it should not be made to suffer in its credit in such an attempt as this to force the issue." Statement Made By Mr.

Miller In a statement issued by W. Lloyd Miller, president of the Morgan House Company, he says: "This case is as simple as A. B. If the Poughkeepsie Hotel Company pays its rent, the Morgan House Company can pay its own bills. The only issue is, how much is due.

Mr. Duncan admitted about February 1 that his company owed something. He has paid nothing since. Certain items which he claims to have paid and charged as advance rent we claim have not been paid. Many items are not proper charges against us at all, The directors of the Morgan House Company have been taking care of the personal obligations of the company out of their own pockets." "Answering Mr.

insinuation that he had advenced considerable sums to individual directors of the Morgan House Company," Mr. Miller added, "I do not believe that any director--unless it be Mr. Duncan himself, who was a director but is such no longer--has seen the color of Mr. Duncan's money since he took possession of the property." The Jury was drawn immediately after the case was adjourned. The following names were drawn from the city box.

E. V. GRANT. 317 Main St. 1w-m23 DUBOIS CALLS FOR REMOVAL OF MATTINGLY Immediate Action Necessary to Free Schools from Menace of Bolshevism.

UPHOLDS EAGLE STAND "They preach' disorder, sedition and revolution and all un-American doctrines openly in this community, gloss them over with high sounding phrasles, circulate dangerous instincts literature, human- peal to the lowest ity in terms of uplift- -save the word and defy us all to stop it," stated Mark G. DuBols Thursday In approval of -the Eagle editorial againat Mattingly. of our good friends tells me that sixty or more Bolshevikis meet Sunday night and preach destructien of Church, State and Marriage-they believe in neither God nor decency. Here is the practical work. out of doctrines which this school teacher and the Rand School of Science uphold among the intellectual perverta which we haye with us.

"We are not compelled to, endure, these things. Free speech in democracy does not mean freedom to destroy civilization, to break down belief in God, to destroy our, faith in the Constitution and what teaches. The international rule of a proletarlat, class domination of any kind, are abhorrent to the American spirit of equality of opportunity and government in which all classes are represented and in which no class rules. "Radical Socialists, of which Mattingly is a type, I hear in their own words and I read in their literature mean to establish rule by workers' (won't workers), in and this country, to abolish brains remove the 'makers' of work by force. or otherwise, to seize this government, socialize: industry, nationalize our womanhood--what an animal and atrocious are going to make brutes of all of us.

"This work is not going along any further. "If the Board of Education will not remove Mattingly some of the vigorous, useful men of Poughkeepsie are going to take steps that will end this menace, stop this sacrifice Americanism on the blood stained altar of internationalism, prevent this ruin of what we have all worked to build up. To have vicious gospel teacher in the public schools as their preached by men who recognize leader is an impossible situation. It has existed too long and gone too far. Renting halls for these apostles of destruction to rant in should be stopI ped.
