EckERT CLAIMANT A FRAUD
Admits to Surrogate That Her Story
Of Marriage Was Fiction

New York. April 1.-THE woman
calling herself Mrs. e. L. Davies or
Dore admitted to Surrogate Cohalan
Monday that her story told to him a
few days ago that she had been mar
ried to the late General T. T. Eckert
in his ninetieth year was pure fiction
The surrogate told her son, James A.
Dore. who brought her to court, that
she was evidently feeble minded and
ought to be put in some institution.
On the witness stand the woman
said:
II don't claim to be the generals
widow. said 1t because was afraid
of Clendenin Eckert Ten of his
friends came up. was in an automo
bile with General Eckert but never
married him"
The surrogate asked her if she had
not once alleged that she was the wild
ow of Andrew Harmon of Brooklyn
and she finally said she couldn't rem
ember. Finally she broke down and
the surrogate excused her and advis-
ed her son to have her taken care of.
Henry M. Earle, counsel for Glen
denim Eckert in the will contest said
that the woman's remarks about his
client were too ridiculous to be dis
cussed seriously.

HErrY GREEN TO MOVE
VIII Leave Her Flat and May Live
at Waldorf


New York, April 1l.-More high life
for Hetty Green, the woman of some
thing like $40,0O0,00O.
No more Hoboken for her. The lit
tie fiat over there will be closed May
l, the regular moving day, when her
lease will be up, and Mrs. Green 1t
is understood, will take up her life
with her son, the large and mighty
Col. Edward II. Green, who jumped
from Texas to the Waldorf a year
ago.
No one will undertake to say how
long Mrs. Green will remain at the
Waldorf For there were predictions
when she moved into the Plaza a lit
tie over year ago that she had
thrown economy and simple life to
the winds She had done nothing of
the kind High life palled on her
and she went back to the dark and
sombre Hoboken fiat for another
year.
But Colonel Green is a large and
hearty man who can't be hid under a
bushel nor in Hoboken fiat and he
insisted on seeing some of the good
things of life when he came TO take
up his residence in New York. Al
ready Mrs. Green has spent several
days at the Waldorf with her son
and she seemed TO like the life we'll
enough to take it up.
May be one cause of the change of
mind is the fact that she was taken
the other day with Indigestion, from
which she is yet suffering. Whether
it was the cooking in the Hoboken
fiat or some other place that brought
on the illness is not known, but the
report of her decision to change home
followed closely upon the attack.

He Announces HIS Candidacy; Would

Indianapolis, Ind, April 12.-Gover-
nor Thomas R. Marshall is an avowed
receptive candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination for President in 1912
He has authorized members of the
Indiana congressional delegation to
declare that he will be pleased If the
Indiana delegation presents his name.
The only reservation the governor
makes Is that he will not seek the no
mination actively himself He insists
that he Is a firm believer in the old
fashioned idea that the office shall
seek the man. and that under no cir
cumstances should any one attempt
TO manipulate conditions to bring
about his nomination for the presiden-

The governor declares that while
he Will be pleased to have his own
state present him at the next nat.
ional convention for president, that
under no circumstances does he care
to be considered for vice president. He
makes that statement because of re.
cent stories that he would be willing
to run for vice president with cover.

GOOD WORD FOR "HOBBLES"
Lawyer Says They Interfere With
Successful Shopping.

Baltimore. Jan. PA man has been
found who sees one redeeming quality
in the "hobble" skirt. He is Eugene
0Dunne, former deputy states attor-
ney In talking to the Teachers Lit
erary association about women thieves,
he said:
THE system for the successful prac-
tice Of shoplifting is somewhat affect
ed by the styles Of dress, If the pres
ent style can be called dress" he
said, impressively. For instance, a
favorite methCd used to be for the
shoplifter to spill the jewelry or goods
off the counter and then, with profuse
apology, pick them up and in so doing
select for personal reservation just
what she wanted and hang the same
on one of the many hooks appended to
a circular garter easy of access.
"This was simple task in the days
Of long, loose, flowing garments, when
each separate skirt was a veritable
wardrobe of hooks and pockets. The
clinging skirt and 'hobble' make this
practice impossible, and bending down
is also made very difficult by the
present style of women's apparel"

BOUGHT HIS OWN DOG
Philadelphia Policeman Is Victim ot
Thieves Who Altered His Pets
Visage With Paint.


Philadelphia, Jan. "a. - Two dog
thieves are working Philadelphia on
an entirely new scheme. They first
paint spots on him and then sell the
animal to the original owner. Up to
date only one man has acknowledged
being a victim.
Policeman Thomas Benz lost his
pet poodle last week. After offering
a reward without result the police man
gave up the animal for good. On Fri
day night two strangers went to the
home of Benz and offered to sell
dog for SO. They had the dog with
them and the animal appeared to be
especially friendly. Benz for a time
thought he was real dog cbarmer,
but last night he learned his mistake.
"Rube.' as the new pet was named,
went into the yard and got dirty
Benz decided he needed bath I'm
mediately the pretty black marking
disappeared and Benz discovered his
original dog, now he is looking for
the men who took his money.
