CHARGE SHE
WANTED HER
CASE LOST
Testimony in Henry Divorce
Suit Causes Sensation
in Court.

The testimony of Albert IL. Bier
worth, a New York lawyer, brother of
the woman who is named in the an
swer to.a divorce suit by Fred II.
Henry against Lena X. Henry, that
Henry wanted Bierworth to handle
Mrs. Henry's case in a divorce suit In
a way that she would lose, created a
sensation before Vice-Chancellor How
ell today.
The bill vas filed by Henry last year
and Charges Mrs. Henry with leaving
him in 1908 and refusing to return. He
asserts that in october, 1903, four Years
after they were married, she began
quarreling with him and that when he
pushed her away she caused his arrest
for assault and battery. The case was
dismissed.
He further alleges that when he re-
turned his wife was gone. Mr.. Henry
said their domestic unhappiness was
due to the fact that his wife was seven
p at the time of their marriage she
took a dictatorial attitude and an air
of superiority.
In answer to the allegation of her
husband, Mrs. Henry testified that she
did no go back to her husband be-
cause he was living with Lulu ]. Scho-
field, as husband and wife, going under
the names of Mr.. and Mrs. L. J. Scho-
field. She further testified that Miss
Schofield had at various times given
her husband presents. She denied
specifically that he lost his job because
of communications she sent to his en-
ployers.
She admitted that she was older than
he, but said that did not cause her to
treat him unkindly. Both testified that
when he came to ask her to come back
and live with him he gave the ason
that he had to pay for her support, and
it would be cheaper If they lived to-
gether.
Mr.. B~ierworth, who is married to q
sister of Lulu j.. Schofield, testified
that Henry called on his sister-in-law
continuously from 1899, and 1t was not
until 1906 that he knew that Henry
was a married man. He said that he
thought Henry and his sister-in-law
were going to get married, because he
knew of preparations that were being
made to rent a fiat. 1t was then that
he said that Henry once asked him to
handle Mrs. Henry's case In such a
name that she would lose the case
when Henry sued her for divorce.

POLITICAL
ACTIVITY
Board OF Works Employees
Must Abolish "VOte=
Getting"

The prevention of "pernicious politl-
cal activity among the employees of
the Board of Works will be taken up
by Commissioner Charles f. Kraemer
at the meeting late this afternoon. DR..
kraemer will make a motion that the
board adopt a rule similar to that in
the police and fire departments, for
bidding its employees from being ac-
tive members of any political party.
DR.. Kraemer said this afternoon that
this refers to Democrats as well as
Republicans.
The reason for this. as explained by
DR.. Kraemer, is hat during election
time most of the 900 employees of the
board are active, politically, and spend
much of heir own time and the time
of the city in furthering the interests
of their particular candidates. DIR.
Kraem~r does not consider that this is
fair and will ask the commissioners to
stop it.
When | was nominated for the
Board of Works. aid DR.. Kraemer,
the Civil Service Association asked
me to declare myself in favor OF
against civil service. L signed a paper
favoring civil service. When | was
elected | found most of the employees
sanguine and sure of their jobs. AT
election time | saw them in their wards
canvassing and working for their party.
During the day instead of attending
to their duty they would pass out cir
culars and cards and political litera-
I.t.o DH,,0 4l.-1- l.. : - I'LL
Il will also ask the commissioners
to consider another phase of the ques-
tion,'' continued DR.. Kraemer. Take
the leaders of a district, the active
workers, who have done much to elect
any of the commissioners. Suppose
they, as employees of the board, are
derelict in their duty or become in
toXicated, how can the commissioner
who owes such men a great deal politi-
cally ask that they be discharged?
Would a commissioners prefer charges
against a man who had helped to elect
him? 1t would not be natural.
81 hope the commissioners will adopt
the rule [ suggest. I think it is for
the best interests of the party. l took
up the matter with the commissioners
recently and they seemed to ridicule
the idea. They laughed at it. / think
it is a move that makes for efficiency
in the department. / will ask that the
Civil Service Commission take up the
matter making it a violation of the
commission rules to be active in poll
itics. / think employees of the Board
of Works Who are active politically
should be penalized."
Before DR.. Kraemer was seen on the
subject the other commissioners were
asked about it. They were told it was
being talked about in the City Hall
and asked what they had to say. None
of them would admit that they had
ever been told about the matter, Com
missioner Denman said that there must
be some mistake and that the reporters
must nave been misinformed. DR..
Kraemer declared most emphatically
that he had talked freely to the COM
m~issioners and asked their opinion
with reference to his plans.

treasurer at first. But it was discov-
cred Tuesday hat there had beer so
large a defalcation in Vanderoef's
firm that reorganization would be nee
essary.
Vanderoef gave himself up and was
arraigned before Magistrate Fre3chi in
the Combs Court.
Il lived beyond my means" he said
simply, as he was led to the prison. II
spent more than I earned and Tn
ready TO take the consequences. Let
me add that there wa. no woman in
the CASE
District-Attorney Whitman will pre-
sent the case to the grand jury at
once.
Scarcely a man in New York city
was known better to the wholesale
white goods trade than Vanderoef. He
entered the employ of the Van Keuren
& Thornton Company as a messenger
boy and rose until he was made
treasurer.
Soon after he was placed in this po-
sition fourteen years ago Vanderoet
began to steal. He had come to know
Broadway at night and there vas
scarcely an evening that he did not
appear at the Imperial, where he came
to be regarded as one of the best
~"spenders' in his set. When he was
entertaining friends 1.-The sky was the
limit" The wine bills he paid were
enormous at times, but their size did
not appear to discomfort Vanderoef.
How he could steal so large an
amount undetected is not readily ex-
planned. The eason given by com
pany officials was that. being in com
plete charge of the finances, he was
able to draw a check to the account of
a creditor and deduct the amount from
the office balance when the check came
back through the clearinghouse.

Hill, Bloomfield, by Police Recorder
Cadmus. of that town, on complaint of
Ernest Wilson, of Dodd terrace, East

Cured in Halcyon Park. Bloomfield,
where peace is supposed to dwell at all

over the right of way.
The physician was in his automobile,

physician, according to Wilson, could
talk better and more expressively than
he, and used language that was more
forceful than elegant.
DIR. Gilbert will be given a hearing
before the recorder tomorrow night.
