 ASKS $1,OOO

For stealing his wife, Elias Sulik of Jackson avenue, Stratford, brings suit against his neighbor, Joseph Sarnick1 of Sheridan street. The suit is for s1,0OO, and as the defendant has neither the money or property to release himself, he is now registered at the North Avenue House.

He adds that he has worked himself into the affections of his wife, and that she has left him, the plaintiff, to live with him, the defendant.

CRIPPEN STILL RETICENT
 BUT GIRL IS HAPPIER

Quebec, Aug. 3.-With a Bible and half a score other books to keep him company, Dr. H. H. Crippen today settled down to await further devel- opments in his case, confident that his friends in England and Lawyer Newton, who has been retained by them, would take care of his inter- ests. The London dentist is closely following the instructions cabled by Newton that he refuse to discuss the case with anyone, and as a conse- quence Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, who has been hoping to ob- tain confession from his prisoner, is rather chagrined.
 Both Crippen and his companion, Miss Leneve, have recovered from the physical collapse that followed their arrest on the liner Montrose. The girl Is more light hearted and happy that she has been since her arrival. She was much encouraged when she received a cablegram from London telling her that her parents had en- gagged counsel for her.

Director Barrett Fools Doctors on
 His Tropical Liver
(special from United Press.l

Special from United Press.)
 Washington, Aug. 3.-John Bar rett, director of the Bureau of Amer tcan Republics, has fooled the doc- tors. Because of his tropical liver" acquired during his diplomatic ex- perience in various countries, Direc- tor Barrett had to forego a trip to Buenos Ayres to attend the Pan American conference. Under the doctors orders he remained at home to prepare for surgical operation, to be undergone in England, for the purpose of removing a portion of his liver. Doctors prescribed a diet and put him through a preliminary course to prepare the liver for the ordeal.
 Barrett submitted without reserve. He ate what he was told to and didn't eat what he was instructed to let alone. To the amazement of the physicians the recalcitrant liver, in- stead of ripening for the operation, began to shrink. The hump began to disappear and it now looks as if 1t would fade away altogether.
 The doctors are dreadfuliy disap- pointed but Director Barrett is hap py.

CHARLTON CAN STILL BE TAKEN
 BACK TO ITALY
Special from United Press.)

Washington, Aug. 3.-The State De- partment today decided that Porter Charlton, who killed his wife at Lake Como. is still extraditable under the treaty with Italy,.
 It was announced that the period covered by the postponement of the case at Charlton's own request, should not be included in the 40 days pre- scribed as the time in which Italy could claim the prisoner. Forty days from the date of the arrest period ended last night but most of this period covered by the requested post ponement.
 The fact that Italy has not asked for him within the first 40 days which offered plenty of time, is considered most significant. It Is not believed that Italy, if it had desired Charlton, would have depended upon the United States eliminating the time elapsed since the postponement.
