Adds $1,000
To Building Fund

Though somewhat chagrlned when the
announcements of the different teams of
workers showed that only $50 941.35 had
been subscribed to this date for the
building of a new home for the Y. w.
c. A., the managers of the campaign
for raising the funds are not disheart-
ened, and urged the campaigners to
renewed efforts. The announcements of
the teams made at the daily luncheon
of the workers showed that 1926 IS had
been subscribed to the fund today.
The surprise OF the day, that Is, the
pleasant surprise of the luncheon hour,
was the announcement that A. Lisner
had subscribed another $1,000. This
makes 5000 that Mr.. and Mrs. Lisner
have given to the fund.
other surprises were in the forms
of announcements that several philan-
thropic persons had agreed to sub
scribe sums of money with the pro-
viso that the campaigners raise the
100000 for the purchase of the site
and the erection of the building.
Immediately following the announce
ment of the days subscriptions Ed
ridge Jordan, in charge of the mems
teams. introduced John Barrett, di-
rector of the Bureau of American Re-
publics.
Mr.. Barrett lauded the work done by
the woman workers in the campaign
for funds and urged the men to try
and outdo their female companions
in collecting money for the project.
Mr.. Barrett caused a great deal OF
| mirth among the campaigners by saying
| that the men had made such poor
showing as compared with the women in
the campaign that he thought 1t right
that men in the room should be made
| to pay for speaking. The speaker then
subscribed $50.
It was announced today that the
| teachers In the graded schools Of the
! city who wished to contribute could do
| so at the headquarters of the cam
| paigners, 1923 r street northwest.

Under the bill as it stands these pay
lments directly out Of the Treasury are

payment of monthly instailments does
not apply to the money which Is con-
ItTibuted by employees, but only to the

HELD
in STATE AND
U. S. COURTS
Charged with Selling "Oleo"
Which Was Not Proper
Iy Stamped.

Based on the report Of A. Adams,
chief chemist of the internal reyenue
department, a charge of having oleo-
margarine not stamped as required was
today preferred against Henry Reed, Of
259 Randolph avenue, Jersey City.
Reed was given a hearing before Uni
ted States Commissioner Richard
Stockton, who fixed bail at $1,000 for
the federal grand jury.
Immediately after being released on
bail Reed was taken into custody by
Plainclothesman King, of the First pre-
cinct, to answer a charge made by the
State Board of Health authorities In
spector Louis Grenade made the sec
ond complaint, alleging that Reed sold
oleomargarine colored with aniline dye
and represented it to be butter. This
charge was made under the ure foo
act. Judge Hahn fixed bail at $500 for
an examination.
On February 1 Reed was arrested at
the instigation of the State Board of
Health authorities. The horse and
wagon he used in selling the commod-
ity were seized by the internal revenue
officers and a sample of the goods sent
to Washington for analysis. 1t has
been intimated by the government off,
GERS that an unlicensed "oleo" plant
may be uncovered as a result of the
arrest.
The trial of Reed before the fed
eral grand jury on the charge made
by the internal revenue men will be
held about April 10.

The new suspect was infatuated with
Miss Mary Curle, a Baltimore girl,
who ran away from he7 home and lived

of Violet or olivet Leonard.
He was heard to utter the threat. III
the presence of Mrs. Taylor. that SIT
would be bad for any person who IN
terfered with his courtship of the girl.
The electrician afterward quarreleo
with Mrs. Taylor inc accused her OF
having caused the girl to go away to
some place where he could not commu-
nicate with her.
Less than three days before Mrs.
Taylor was killed by the bomb the
electrician had a stormy interview with
her. 1t is believed that the quarrel
was over Miss Curle.
The ase against the mar is further
strengthened by the fact that those
who have examined the fragments oil
the fatal bomb say that it must have
been put together by an expert.
For months during the early part of
1911 this man paid close attention to
Miss Curle. During the summer he
managed to get her to a seaside resort
for three weeks and this brought upon
him the enmity of Mrs. Taylor. She

arranged by her admirer.
The clashes were more frequent as
the fall advanced. And hen came
the arrest of Mrs. Taylor, who con-
Quoted the apartment as Mrs. Walker.
The accusation concerned the alleged
was thought to be a minor.
1t was also discovered that the man
who accompanied Mrs. Taylor when she
leased the Seventy-seventh street
apartments was a west side bartender,
instead of a member Of a prominent
family here. This man came from
Richmond, Va, and is we'll known In
the tenderloin section.
A search is being made among the
package express companies for the
possible deliverer of the bomb. A
theory has been advanced hat the
death-dealing machine may have been
intrusted to SUI. a concern for de-
livery to the fiat.
Those detectives who are trying to
discover where the portions of the
bomb were obtained have procured
many specimens of dry batteries. But
they have failed to find the exact size
and brand that were used in the in
fernal machine. A positive clew in
this development today was being fol-
lowed eagerly by independent investi-
gators. 1t was learned.

O0TGER WILL IS UP
FOR CONSTRUCTION
Adaptive Grandchildren's Status
Complexities Question
as to Residue.

Nearly a dozen lawyers in Vice
Chancellor Stevens's Court of Chan
Gerry today represented as many bene-
~ficiaries of the complicated will of Mrs.
Clara J.. Dotger, who died August rs
1910. at her home, So Montrose avenue,
Mountain station. Mrs. Doteer, who
was the widow of Andrew Dotger and
one of the executors of his estate
valued at over a million dollars, left
several legacies to her kin. She had
no children of her own.
The will provided for a residue fol-
her niece, Clara Seidensticker, to be
disposed Of. as the will stated, "ac-
cording to my instructions to her."
It develops that Mrs. Dotger had
lett Instructions to Miss Clara Sell
densticker to dispose of certain sums
without the Formally of law. This is
n Of the complications.
Another difficulty arose over the
grandchildren, who were children Of
Florence LIE Van Logo Richards,
daughter Of a deceased brother Of the
~testatrix. These grandchildren re-
ferred to in the petition as "problema-
tical' had been adopted by MI. Dot
ger, but his wife. the testatrix. had
never acknowledged the relationship.
The estate left by Mrs. Dotger nde
litigation amounts to about $S4, 200. OF
this amount the will provides for
Iegacies amounting to $25. 1000. 1t is
the residuesw which is in dispute.

FEARS JAIL,
WEBS GIRL.
NOW SUES
Conductor, Threatened with Arr
rest If He Didn't Marry,
Seeks Annulment.

When a man is confronted with the
alternative of marrying a girl or 60
ing to jail and he choose the girl, is
he entitled to an annulment of the
marriage on the ground of duress..
This question came up in the final
hearing before Vice-Chancellor Stevens
in the suit for annulment of the mar
riage of Albert Ortley, a trolley con-
ductor, and Anna McCrea, of thfs city.
On the stand today the defendant
stated that she had sworn falsely when
she married Ortley because she was
told she must make a specific charge
against him in order to cause his ar
rest.
yice-Chancellor Stevens thought
that the alternative of jail was not
duress. but only what is contemplated
in the crimes act. He ordered the at
torneys to submit further briefs.

Many Indians Affected
with tuberculosis

Pierre, March 12-An effort to con-
troll tuberculosis among the pupils OF
the government Indian school at the
Cheyenne agency has been commenc-
ed. There are sixteen affected pupils
in attendance at the school and these
are to be given special attention as to
separate quarters, and table with a
special diet for their benefit. The
home life of many of the Indians IS
such as TO tend to the spread of tuber-
culosis when it once gets hold in a
family, and the work of the govern
ment school is in the line of demon.
stration work in results of proper care
and attention in regard to this dis
ease.
