CHESS CHALLENGE Is
ACCEPTED BY BRITONS,

Acceptance of the challenge issued
by Captain Louis j. Wolff, of the Co
lumbia University chess team, on be-
half of that university, Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, Cornell. Brown and Penn
s~ylvania, to play for the Rice inter
collegiate trophy by cable has come in
a letter from N. j. Roughton, president
of the oxford University Chess Club,
who acts both for his own university
and Cambridge. The date, March FL,
appears to be acceptable.
The rules which the American COM
mittee proposed are not dealt with
satisfactorily, nor is the question of
representation met squarely. No OBJ
stacles, however. are placed in the way
of the Americans, and the points in
doubt are left with the British um-
pire to decide. This is Walter Penn
Shipley, of Philadelphia, president of
the Franklin Chess Club. The matter
of drafting the rules to govern the
contests hereafter is left for future
discussion.

FIND EMPTY BLEACHERS

Lawson will have to do the SAINT
thing in Lake View. He has promised
To do so already. Now when a baseball
magnate has to do this in order TO
break into any community it is pretty
bad. Then again there is an ordinance
on the township books there prohibit
ing baseball on Sunday. and it will
only require one gentleman in that
whole Lake View place to arise and
demand that the ordinance be passed
to a Ina reading. Doesn't Mr.. Law
son know this?
If he doesn't and wants any further
information on the matter let him dip
in here and the story will be told.
You can make money in baseball If
You have a good team and only have to
pay for the team. But when you have
to hand out TO every Tom. Dick aud
Harry then the box office receipts will
have to come high and they won't
down to the place l refer to.
Hero in Newark conditions are diff
ferent. The Stallings aggregation will
have first call, and if George will only
put a winning team here Mr.. Lawson
will find empty blcachers and tenant
less grand-stands for his players.
Newark Will support A good winning
team of major league calibre. not two
! teams. The sooner my friend Lawson
learns this the better off he will be.

for a watering trough on the banks of

going on that the new league is going

will vie with the %Stallings landmark

TROUBLES OF WIFE
AIRED IN COURT
TRIBULATloNs FOLLOW FAILURE
TO SECURE FINAL DECREE
Former Husband NegIects to Ask for
Final Divorce Decree and AnnuI-
ment of Wife's Marriage
Results

The marital tribulations of Mrs.
Annie r. Gidney were again aired in
the superior court yesterday, when the
suit of her husband, Stephen w. Cid
ney, asking for annulment of their
marriage on the ground that final
decree of divorce had not been OBJ
tained following a divorce three years
ago.
Mrs. Gidney who was then Mrs. Will
cox, sued for divorce, and her husband
filed a cross complaint. An interlocu
tory decree was granted to the hus-
band who then vent his way, with a
mind free from thoughts of final de-
crees and a determination to forget
the past in a life of single blessed
ness.
His former wife was also unmindful
of this formality and so when she was
wooed by Gidney in Sawtelle another
ceremony was performed and. the
couple lived more or less happily un-
til recently, when Gidney, learning of
the failure to conform to the law S
demands, asked that the marriage be
annulled on the ground that no final
decree had been issued.
Mrs. Gidney, learning of the action
placed a cashiers check for $1,000, de-
posted in a Santa Monica bank in a
receptacle where 1t could easily be pro-
cured, and refused to return the valu-
able bit of paper to the man in who's;
name l. was deposited. The husband
however, regards this fact lightly and
says he will file a bond guaranteeing
the bank against loss and draw out
the money himself,
The annulment was granted and as
she left the courtroom, Mrs Gidney
was heard to say: II knew they would
do something like that"

BOARD DISCUSSES
AUTO STAND PLAN
WILL REQUIRE SPECIAL FORMS
FROM APPLICANTS
Question of Limiting Passenger-car-
rying Vehicles Under New Traffic
Ordinance Is Being
Adjusted

Police commissioners last night wres-
tied with the problem of the complica-
tions brought on by the new traffic
ordinance.
The question how to limit and appor-
ton the hack and auto stand is one
which the commission must settle, and
the pigeon noles in Secretary Charles
McKeag's desk are bulging with ap-
plications and petitions.
To add to the problem the Municipal
league has just demanded that affi-
davits be required of all applicants
stating whether they have offered any
consideration or compensation for the
use of any street space-an act that,
according to an existing ordinance,
voids such application.
The commission finally decided to
have new forms printed under the new
traffic ordinance on which all appli-
cants must answer certain questions
before the cases can, be acted upon
Another question Is whether in grant,
ing permit for certain space the
owner of more than one hack or auto
shall be allowed to send a substitute
machine or rig as soon as another one
is hired and off the reserved territory.
The commission will probably so de-
eide, but gave out nothing official last
night
