RUSHING SUIT
FOR DIVORCE
ISLAID OVER

The Rushing divorce suit, begun yes
terday before Vice Chancellor Stevens,
has been put over until March %.
Startling disclosures concerning the
married life of Mr.. and Mrs. George
M. Rushing, formerly Of S59 South
SThirteenth street, were made on the
stand late yesterday.
Mrs. Matte r. Rushing, now of Pat
erson. brought the suit for divorce.
Her husband, who is contractor, of
G2G Clinton avenue, filed an answer and
cross bill.
After Mr. Rushing had told of en-
gaging a maid, woman detective,
May West, to spy on his wife, he re-
lated several instances which pointed
to intimacy between Mrs. Rushing and
A. d. Tooley, of Brooklyn. Mrs. Rus
ling was placed on the stand. She de-
MED the allegations of undue intimacy
with Mr.. Tooley and corroborated the
latter In his statement that their
friendship had been simply Of the pla-
tonic order
Mrs Rushing was minutely examined
as to the number of times Tooley is al
legged to have kissed and embraced her.
Asked If he had kissed her March rs,
1911 when he had luncheon at her
house, Mrs. Rushing answered that he
had not.
Counsel inquired If Tooley had kissed
her before going to lunch or after lunch
and Mrs. Rushing replied angrily;
HE did not No. STRIP
According to the testimony of Mr..
Rushing, the cause of his leaving home
was the scene he encountered when he
came home suddenly with two de-
tectives and found his wife and Tooley
together In the library. The two chill
dren of the couple, Earle H., ii years
old, and Thelma, aged 8 years, are at
present living with their father at the
Clinton avenue address. In their Pc
titions both wife and husband assert
the children should be placed In their
care.
The STAR wishes to correct the
statement that Edith Frank, Mr.. Rus
ling's stenographer, is named as CO.
respondent by his wife. This correc-
tion is made without solicitation. as
the STAR does not wish to injure Miss
Frank in any way.

Parole.

AS a sequel to the pathetic case of
the seven Stramberg children, who
We're found shamefully neglected and
starving in a room in which their par
ents lay in drunken stupor last No
vember, two women appeared at the
Second Precinct Police Court today and
said the Same children had again been
abandoned to charity.
This time, according to Mrs. Annie
Hopkins, the aunt of the children, the
father himself has run away.
When il was found last November
that upon 11-year-old Gertrude Stram-
berg, the ''little mother" of the family,
had devolved the hopeless task OF
keeping the children together and car
ing for the pitifully starved little baby.
Judge Herr sentenced both father and
mother to a year and day in jail in
default of a fine of $50 each.
Subsequently, upon the recommenda-
tion of Jared w. Kimball superinten-
dent of the Children's Aid Society,
Stramberg was paroled. He obtained
his old position as a macbinist at 2E
Runyon street.
Encouraged by the advice of AIs
Kimball he started to provide for his
chliQreu, VINO were restored 10 lIbf

He had to pay s14 a week. however,

Stramberg drew his pay Wednesday.
Yesterday he kissed his children and
said.
Pm ..going away-forever. Youll
never see me again. Kiss ue good

Mrs. Hopkins said he then went
away. and has not returned.
Those women have been vultures'"
exclaimed Mr.. Kimball, when told of
the police court incident today. "The
man was weak and he came from jail.
Yet he was willing to do what was
right He gave $14 week for the
support of his children. 1t was a
grating game. Probably he did get
discouraged and ran away. Just as
soon as there is no more prospect of
graft they want someone else to
shoulder the pauper side of the ques-
ton. And the children suffer.
IF they will come to me I will talk
to them in righteous spirit that they
are not likely to relish"
Acting Judge Othring had told the
women TO report to Mr.. Kimball

WEAVERs WILL WALK OUT.
Windham Silk Company Claims Times Do Not Warrant a IS Per Cent. Wage Increase.

The silk weavers in the employ of the Wlndham Silk company held a meeting in A. B. s. hall Saturday af- ternoon. John GCldeh, president of the Textile Workers Of America, was pres ent and repsrtcd that he had had a conference with the officials of the company, who informed him that they could not afford to pay more than they Wore at pres mt paying.
 The weavers recently demanded a raise of l5 per cent, but the company considers that this is an exorbitant re-
 quest in view of the conditions of the silk industry, especially at the present time There are approximately three
 score of weavers employed by the company at present, possibly a few under that number. as several have recently got through and found em- ployment elsewhere, temporarily, at
 least
 When Mir Golden made his report to
 the assembled silk weavers a general discussion Of the situation followed. some favored striking and others de-
 sired to continue to work along as at present. but when the question was put To vote there was a sufficiently strong lukewarm sentiment to advo- , cate Walkout which will result this lMonday) morning after the Weavers have entered the mill
 1t should be understood that the or- ilcials of the company have not re-
 fused 10 grant the E per cent de-
 handed but volunteered the informa- hon that at present they could not afford to pay the increase demanded. The company will not be the losers by i the proposed walkout it is understood, as shutdown at this time will in reality be 2 saving to the silk com ! pany' who have always kept their em-
 ployes at work practically Meadily.
