TIRED Of TOMBOY
LIFE" SAYS GIRL
WHO SEEKS DEATH
Mary Dessenfy, of Elizabeth,
Was Near=Victim of
Trains Wheels.
Especial to the Newark star.1

ELIZABETH, Sept. 16. = 1t was
learned here today that the young girl
who attempted suicide yesterday by
throwing herself under the wheels of a
Staten Island railroad train is Mary
Dessenfy. Jerseys most famous TOM
boy. the same comely girl who at the
age of Is years rode the bumpers from
Elizabeth to San Francisco, dressed as
a boy. She is now recovering at st,
Vincent's Hospital, Staten Island, from
the hysteria induced by her narrow es-
cape from death when she was dragged
by policemen from the path of speed
ing locomotive. She refuses TO say
whether she is grateful that she was
rescued. Her attempt to die, she says
was made because she was "tire9 OF
being tomboy."
The strange career of Mary Dessen-
fy, who is now 20 years old, which III
side of five years soured her upon rela-
tives, friends and the world at large
impelling her to self f-destruction, be-
gain in this city in 1905. One bright
morning in the spring of that year hel
father, Martin Dessenfy, who still lives
in the family home in Broadway. drove
her from his door. according to heI
story, branding her incorrigible.
Donned boys Garb.
Thrown upon her own resources sl,e
soon made up her mind that she would
fare better in the world dressed as q
boy. Accordingly she donned male
clothing and thereby soon came to the
attention of the police.
After the Elizabeth authorities
learned of her partially to boys
clothes she disappeared and nothing
was heard from her until she reap
peared two years later. Examined by
the. police she declared she had just
returned from the Pacific coast. whittier
she had travelled impersonating a
tramp. She again tried to return to
her home, but her father was obdurate
When he closed his house to her she
threw cobblestone through one of his
parlor windows. She was then lodged
in 1ail and examined by criminologists
Their report was that if a bone were
extracted from her skull she would be
cured OF her criminal instincts. APP
parently the authorities, never took
sufficient interest to have the operation
performed
She came TO the attention Of the po-
lice several times during the past two
wears. and last year she was commit
ted to the State Hospital for the Insane
at Morris Plains. She escaped from
that institution a few weeks ago and
nothing had been heard of her until
her attempted suicide,
She was identified at the Staten
Island hospital by Warden Dodd OF
the Union county jail. To him she said
she would consider returning to Eliza
beth to become good girl instead of q
bad boy.

 Question ArISing.

Washington. July 12.-PoSsissent diplomatic oppostaon on shc part of Germany against the policies H tho United States has brought sut 8 sftua. tion which is rapidly approaching the acute stage
 The latest of ths ssyies Of inctdsnts is the recognition 0 the Madriz fas+ tion ia Nicaragua by the Kaiser in terms amounting to an encourage mont of the zelssan regime In an alleged personal letter o Apxu 26 the Germ an emperor addressed Madrix as Great and Good Friend" and con Usastated htn On his election as president
 Knox Had Not Recognized Madrta.
 Although 1t Is within the preroga- tive of the Kaiser to recognize what ever government he chooses. his jumping into the Central American arena in this faskion at the present time is looked upon by some authori- ties as throwing down the gauntlet to the United States. which has been rec ognized as the guardian of Central American affairs.
 Secretary Knox holds that Madriz has not been elected by his fellow citizens, according to the Nioaraguan constitution, despite the "merited con tidsnoe" referred to by the Kaiser.
 This action by the Kaiser might be overlooked were it not for the unmis- takable signs of German hostility to America, manifeS cd in connection with other incidents. The difficulty began with the legislation affecting American contracts with German pro ducers The Reichstag practically in validated the contracts entered into by the individual mine owners with American manufacturers. Subsequent ly an adjustment was made modify
 Two Former Incidents.
 The second incident was the aban- d0nment of the German American ex- position in Berlin because German manufacturers, who feared an Ameri- can invasion The United States en- LtT6Q lQlO lulS SQlloA4e Wllh buG btSL intent, to strengthen the friendly re- lstious between the two countries and a commission representing this gov ernment was apposated. Shortly after wards, 1t was announced that the ex- position had been postponed and re gently 1t was abandoned altogether.
 The plans of the American corpora ton. which was negotiating for a rail road concession involving the eXpend- iture of $100,000eo0, were approved by the Turkish parliament. But the German ambassador to the Port inter posed the objoc>iCa that the proposed road would interfere with the Gel man line to Bagdad, an. that it was in vio- lation of Turkish mining laws.
 The state department has main tained an attitude of reserve regard ing these incidents. Phe grave ques- ton today, however. Is whether Ger many proposes to carry its antt-Amer- icsn diplomacy into the western hem isphere and extend it 10 Central American interference.
