SAYS DIVORCE IS
EQUAL RIGHTS EVIL
Cardinal Gibbons Declares
Women Given the Ballot
May Overstep Bounds.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 18.-Cardinal Glib
bons, dean of the Catholic Church in
America, told $50 men at the City
Club luncheon here that If a his
torian ever wrote the Decline and
Fall of the American Republic 1t
would not be due. to an invading
army, but to the criminal sloth,
negligence and political apostasy of
our own citizens. Before his address
he said in an authorized interview:
Equal suffrage, in my opinion,
would tend toward increasing divorce,
which is a social blot on the United
States and is the greatest evil of the
day.
IF woman had equal political rights
with men there is a probability that
on the slightest p~rovocation she
would seek divorce. Given such
equality they might overstep the
pounds. Women. under the present
conditions, are too prone to &c to the
divorce courts, and political equality
might make them more so. 1t might
have the effect of turning their heads.
divorce Is increasing in the United
States. The evil prevails here more
generally than in any other country.
We must get back to the gospel. The
laws should be made more strict, Sc
that 1t would not be SO asy to dis
rupt the ma rriage ties on f1imsy pre-

SLAIN, is
BROTHERS, THEORY
Police Search Long Island for
Clue of Missing To-
bacco Man.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Unless
Henry Luyties. the tobacco dealer
missing since September 6. is found
today, his brother Otto will send pri-
vate detectives to shore towns of
Long Island to look for a clue to his
whereabouts. Otto believes his brother
went to one of these towns for the
weekend and met with foul play be-
cause of the roll of bills he had dis
played.
Luyties drew $500 the day he dis
appeared. The taxicab chaufeurs
who drove him about have been
found and have given a satisfactory
account of themselves. Luyties insist
ed on leaving his taxi in the middle
of the runway leading from Seventh
avenue to the station.
The action Is taken by some of the
missing mans friends to indicate that
Luyties intended TO take a train on
the Long Island railroad. which has
an entrance between Seventh and
Eighth avenues.
Otto Luyties, brother of the miss
ing man, is of the opinion that his
brother has either been murdered in
some out-of-the-way spot OF that he
suddenly went out of his mind and
was unable to find his way home.
William G. Schmittberger, whose
detective agency has been investigat-
ing the case. thinks there is a oma
involved and is bending his energies
In hat direction.

BOARD Of HEALTH
CHARGES DENIED
City Law Department Claims
1t Furnished Contract
Forms.

That the city law department CO.
operated fully with the Board of
Health In laying out its scheme for
the purchase of supplies by compet-
tive bidding was asserted by City
Counsel James r. Nugent today.
The Board of Health, at a meeting
last night. declared that 1t had tried
without success for five months TO
induce the law department to pre-
pare forms of contracts. ETC., neces-
sary to put in effect its plan.
THE Board of Health in this mat
ter, as in all others, received the
same prompt attention from this de-
partment as is given every other city
body said Mr.. Nugent. II was sur
prised to learn of the criticism, for
long ago l knew personally the forms
asked for had been submitted, and.
so far as I was aware of, believed
that they were in use.'
George e. Carpenter. assistant to
Mr.. Nugent in the law department,
told of having prepared the forms
them to Special Inspector
Andrew J. Brady, of the Health
Mr.. Brady said he did not recall
having received the particular papers.
He carries documents between the
Health Board offices and h law de-
partment, he said, but he seldom
knows the contents of envelopes
given him.
The matter came up last night
when DIR. Theodore w. Corwin moved
that the board stop buying supplies
men who had their office IN
their hat and patronize only estao-
lished stores. Then it was that the
law department was severely cr1ti-
cised for holding up the board.
Notice was received from the Civii
Service Commission that on the ads
vice of the encouragement the sal
airy of Edward Donnelly. a janitor In
the employ of the health department,
had not been sanctioned. Donnelly'
who recently resigned, had not been
paid in four months, and has $l4t
coming to him. 1t is probable that
some action will be taken by the
board against the commission.

BLACK HAND GANG
BLEEDS COBBLER
Harrison Man in Dumb Despair
Accedes to Each
Demand.

A surprising story of the efforts of
a gang of thugs to despoil Joseph
Lombardo, an aged shoemaker, of
the little hoard he has collected after
years of work, was told to Chief of
Police Michael Rodgers, of Harrison,
today.
Lombardo, whose shop is in North
Fifth street. Harrison, but who lives
In Kearny. has, 1t is said, been sys-
tematically robbed of hundreds OF
dollars through threats of violence
and other harm to him and the mem
hers of his family during the past
two years.
Always anxious to shield his family
from fright, Lombardo has withheld
all news of the acts of the black
mailers. Accordingly his daughter.
Mrs. Lupito, vas surprised on Mon
day when two men entered her
fathers shop, and representing them
selves as detectives from Elizabeth.
ordered him to give them 800.
Lombardo remembered that his
son John had been arrested in the
Union county city a month or SO ago
and asked his visitors what would
,be the penalty of refusing to heeo
their demands.
Your son will go to prison. they
are said to have told him, and you'll
90 with him.
Trembling and not needing the pro-
tests of his daughter and a friend
who was in the shop Lombardo sig
nailed the pair to follow him and
started to leave his shop. His friend
also made for the door when one of
the detectives barred his way.
give this man S. and make him
mind your shop" he ordered Lom-
bardo.
The shoemaker obeyed this order,
and then walked to the West Hud-
son County Trust Company. where
he drew out the 800 demanded and
paid 1t to the men. They left him
promising that they would call on
him again soon.
