TITANIC MOURNERs
MAKE PROTEST

HALIFAX, April 27.-Dissatisfied
with the lack of organization they
found here and the inability or unwil-
lingness Of the local White Star offices
TO handle the situation, thirty claim
ants of the Titanic's dead met at the
Hotel Halifax las night to get a def
mite working plan.
Although a diplomatic attitude was
preserved by most of the speakers, now
and then Indignation was shown at the
in which the seekers for infor-
nation had been delayed n turned
aside.
When the conditions which had been
complained of continued word was
passed around, and the thirty men,
who came from all parts of America,
met with Mayor Chisholm and three
or four of the more prominent citizens.
The White Star officials were at first
unwilling to enter the conference, but
finally sent p. c. G. Mitchell from
Montreal and y. G. Jones, the local
agent. The object of the meeting was
stated to be a desire to cooperate with
the White Star Company in the effort
to make the work Of identifying and
claiming the bodies OF the dead as
smooth as possible.

JUDGE PARTNER IN
CUlM PILE DEAL

2 SCRANTON. April 27.-Evidence that
Judge r. W. Archibald, of the United
states Commerce Court, was concerned
in the deal for culm piles, located near
this city. as charged in a resolution pre-
scented in Congress. came TO hand here
Yesterday when a record of an option
for the culm pile in question was found
in the recorders Office. The option is
Tor the Robertson and Law half of the
culm pile and is made out to Edward
Fl. Williams. who, it is alleged in the
charges filed against Judge Archibald,
was associated with the jurist in the
deal. Judge Archbald's name appears
on the option as witness" to the Civ
ing of the option.
Speaking of the charges yesterday
Williams said that Judge Archibald had
done nothing for which he could be
censured, inasmuch as he simply acted
as a partner in the deal. That
his influence as judge was such that
he got a low figure from the Erie COM
pany for its half of the culm pile is
denied by Williams, who points out
that the Robertson and Law half Of
the pile was secured at a much better
rate than was their half.

HURLED DISHES At
HER,, WIFE CLAIMS

NEW YORK. April 27.-Charging
that her husband, Louis, hurled dishes
and boiling coffee at her, to say moth
ing of ~appropriating 5000 of her
money, Mrs. Miriam Herzog, daughter
OF "Old Man" Schnitzer, the east side
money lender who died recently, leav-
ing an estate of 81, 900. 900, yesterday
filed a suit in the Supreme Cour for
separation.
Mrs. Herzog appealed to Justice En-
LANCER for an order directing her hus-
bany to pay $50 weekly alimony pend
ing the trial of the action. Newman
Levy, son of Abraham Levy, appeared
for Herzog, and decision was reserved.
The couple were married February
90, 1898, and have two children. The
s15,0 900, which Mrs. Herzog alleges her
husband invested in real estate for his
own benefit, is declared by Herzog to
have beer given to him by Mrs. Her
zog's father as a dowTy prior to their
marriage.
According to Attorney Levy, "Old
Man. Schnitzer made out two checks,
one for $4,000 and the other for $4,000,
payable to his daughter. Herzog re-
fused to go on with the marriage cere-
mony under that arrangement. and the
checks were destroyed, and n for
SIS. 900 was made out to Herzog.
Then, 1t appears, Schnitzer tried to
induce Herzog to invest the money in
the Schnitzer business. HerEog refused,
and Schnitzer began a suit to ecover
the SIS, 900. An attachment was issued
at the ~instigation of Schnitzer against
Herzog's bank account, and finally
Herzog secured an order removing the
attachment.
Herzog says he is an invalid and
lives with his brothers at sH PARK
avenue He attributes his marital
woes to the interference of his wife's
father. and declares the lawsuit started
by Schnitzer was responsible for the
breach between himself and wife.
Mrs. Herzog AYERS Herzog began
m~istreating her soon after their mar
rage. On one occasion, she says, he
threatened to kill her with a knife.

BANDITS HELD HER
CAPTIVE, SHE SAYS
HOboken Girl Tells Thrilling
Tale of kidnapping in
Brooklyn.

HOBOKEN, April 27.-Escaping from
a gang of ~desperadoes. who h says
kidnapped her in Brooklyn and carried
her to a mountain region in Lacka-
wanna county, Pa, Mrs. Eva Meyer
of So Jefferson street, this city, Il years
old, sought Chief of Police Hayes and
told him all about her remarkable al
venture. She was accompanied by ner
sisters husband, Patrick j. Murray,
who said that he joined the band TO
rescue her. The two made their escape
at night from a deserted shanty on a
mountain, but not until a number OF
shots were exchanged with the bandits
did they get safely out of the region.
Mrs. Meyer, who until her marriage
to John Meyer, May 10. 1910. was Miss
Eva Verducci. says her husband was
the leader of the gang. She had not
lived with him since November, 1910,
but when working in a factory in Dan
haitian she received word on April 5
last that her husband was lying dead
in q house in Brooklyn she fastened
there. She found him alive and sur
rounded by a number of men coms
panions. Accepting an invitation 10
drink a glass of beer, she says she lost
consciousness Immediately after taking
it and came to foul days later. Sitting
by her bed was her husband, who told
her she was In Archibald, Pa.
There were also -four other men and
two women, Kitty Clark n Frances
salvini, friends of her husband, in the
room.
Murray, her brother-in-law, said he
learned where the girl had been taken
and arrived at Archibald the same
night, representing to the gang that he
wished TO become a member. When
they were settled for the night in a
deserted shanty the two slipped out.
They were detected in the act, how
ever. and fired upon, giving several
shots in return, but made good their
escape.
Eva's sister. Annie Verducci, before
her marriage to Murray had a similar
experience, when she was stolen from
her home at 302 Adams street, Ho-
boken. in July. 1910. She was rescued
from a gang of Black Handlers from a
house in the woods at Nyack.
