LAKEWOOD WOMAN,
HE|RESS,, IS SUED
AS AN |MPOSTOR
Co-Heirs of Grouse Estate Say
Mrs. McVickar Is Not Daugh-
ter of Late Millionaire.

LAKEWOOD, Oct. 29.-Dorothea Ed
garita Mcvickar, who is living in splen-
did style here, and who has been re-
garded as a $1,000, 900 heiress since
she was brought forward after the
death of D. Edgar Grouse, of Syracuse,
N. Y, as his daughter, was yesterday
attacked in a suit in Syracuse by the
other heirs of Grouse, as a changeling.
On September 26, when Mrs. Nc
Vickar reached the age of 81, she was
to have received outright $780, 900, but
on September % an order was obtained
which restrained the payment Of the
money until the settlement of the pres
ent suit. Grouse died fifteen years ago,
and Immediately thereafter there ap-
peared in Syracuse Mrs. Siegbert l..
Kosterlitz, who has since married and
is known as Mrs. Eula H. Potulicka-
who claimed to be the widow of the
millionaire. She had with her a little
girl between 8 and 6 years old, and she
claimed that the child was the daugh-
ter of Grouse and herself.
The woman made a demand for
So, 600, 900 of the SIS, 000,0 900 estate in a
lump sum for her daughter, which
proposition was accepted by the
twenty-seven heirs.
1t is reported that the heirs have
brought suit because they bear great
resentment against Mrs. Potulicka for
what they believe was a cruel impo-
sition upon them and an unwarranted
attack upon the private life of their
relative.

Wright lives with her mother at Nc
Whorter and Chestnut streets.
The couple were apparently happy
until the fatal wedding ftbur. Arrange
ments had been made for the knot to
be tied by a Presbyterian minister, and
Cunningham, according to his W
story, spent the greater part of $3.50 he
had saved for clothes and a wine sup
per.
Cunningham was indeed a jolly Jack
tar, but when Amelia said "No" sim
ply because Phillips was too old, in
her opinion, to act as sponsor. Cum
ningham, with the boys, retreated to
the hotel, and all hands devoured the
wine and good things, but the toast.
instead Of being a merry one, was a
sad one.

THOUSANDS MORE
IN EVENING STARS
PENMANSH|P TEST
School Superintendent Poland's
Endorsement Adds to Long
List OF Competitors.
STRIVING TO WIN RICH
PRIZES FOR BEST WORK
Essex and West Hudson Pupils
Are All Talking
About 1t.

The high approval which DR.. Addison
B. Poland, Superintendent of Public
Schools, gave to THE EVENING STAR
Penmanship Contest yesterday has
quickly shown results, thousands of
children who had not already entered
the contest sending in their specimens
of handwriting.
The conditions of the contest being
so simple that the youngest child can
understand them and the awards Of
$3.50 SO divided that older children will
have no advantage over younger, have
proved wise, the result being that chill
dren of all ages are competing.
Incidentally a new and greater inter-
est in perfect penmanship is being in
culcated in the school curriculum of
pupils, and DR.. Poland expects that
the pupils will indicate a material adj
vance in the study and performance OF
legible handwriting.
Any pupil in any school in Essex
county or the towns of West Hudson
may send in as many specimens of
handwriting as desired. the only rules
being that each specimen must be ac-
companied by the published coupon and
the written words:
"The Evening Star is read in our
home.'

DECLARES MORGAN
HEIR TO S0MMER
AND HIS POLICIES
Assemblyman Martin Tells Re.
publicans Shrievalty Con-
test Is Big Issue.

Assemblyman William Parmenter
Martin was the principal speaker at the
Republican m~ass-rneeting in Electric
Park last night, the burden of his argu-
ment being that Sheriff Sommer had
given an efficient administration and
urging the election of William F. Nor
gan to succeed him.
That the popularity of William Har-
rigan, Democratic nominee for sheriff,
has alarmed the Republicans was indi-
Gated by the repetition of each speaker
last night in all of the Republican
meetings that Mr.. Morgan would fol-
low out the policies laid down by Sheriff
Sommer.
"A lot of people think" Mr.. Martin
said, that it is a question of
whether we will have a Sheriff who will
enforce the law or one who will wink
at the Sunday law. I say this is not
the question. The question is whether
or not we shall have a man who will
continue the work Sheriff Sommer has
begun.
The spacious hall at the park was
well filled, and the closing remarks of
Mr.. Martin brought long and hearty
applause. Previous to him Frank j.

William H. Wiley, candidate for Con-
gress; A. R. Denman and Ira Budd,
