of DR.. william E. Carr, of this CITY,
and heiress to 100000 from the estate
OF her father, DR.. John d. McGill, Is
defendant in suit for $4,000 damages
instituted by the wife of her chauffeur
for alleged alienation of her husbands s
affections e..
Mrs. Mary Mayer, the aggrieved wife
says that her husband Walter Mayer,
and Miss McGill made long automobile
trips together, going to Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, and other States. She
charges that her husband began to pay
special attentions to the pretty divorce
in April. 1872, soon after he entered her
employ.
Miss McGill now lives in Jersey Cit
where she went following her seParat'
from young DR.. Carr. She declines
discuss the sensational suit in any
ticular, referring all ouestoners to
counsel, Gilbert Collins, former Su
preme Court Justice, who also refuses
TO talk about the case. declaring that
his clients defense will be set forth in
her answer at the proper time.
Defense of Driver.
According to Mrs. Mayer she accused
her husband of undue attention with
Miss McGfll and he replied:

and fve-year-old son. and the court
ordered him to pay 81 week, which
Mrs Mayer asserts Is not ample, as
she has been forced to work in a pencil
factory In Jersey City.
Miss McGill became the wife of DR..
william B. Carr, son of DR.. William
P Carr. a prominent Washington
physician. in 1909. The marriage was
kept a secret for several months.
Contested BY Dr.. Carr.
The divorce suit was filed in the
District Supreme Court by Mrs. Carr,
and was bitterly contested by DR..
Carr, who said that the domestic diff
flcuities were due to the interference
of his wife's father. There was tes-
tinory to the effect that DR.. McGill
had practically challenged his son-in-
law 10 a duel, and had made threats
that he would "break" the young ply
sician.
DR.. McGil was a brother Of the late
Alexander T. McGill, formerly cham
ceIlor of the State of New Jersey, and
son Of the former governor of New
Jersey.
At his death DIR. McGilI left more than
81 600 600, three-fifths OF which went to
his daughter. The remainder he left to
his son. Alexander T. McGill. Young
McGiIl some months ago was in an au-
tomobile accident in which h s COM
panion received injuries which resulted
jn death. McGill was badly hurt, and
in the hospital for weeks. He is under
indictment for homicide in connection
with the accident, and his license to
drive a car in New Jersey has been
revoked.

MCAneny Names Committee TO
Regulate Height of Buildings.
ALL INTERESTS PROTECTED
Men Appointed Representative
of Diverse Industries IN
All Boroughs.

/ Borough President McAneny, as chair
man of the Board Of Estimates commit
Tee on the regulation of the height, size
and measurement OF buildings within the
CITY limits announced yesterday the ap-
pointment Of the advisory commission
which. under the plan discussed by the
Board of Estimate, is TO take over the
greater part of the work.
According TO Mr.. McAneny's statement
the committee sought to make the com
mission as representative As possible not
only Of all the boroushs, but Of the vari-
Gus interests that must necessarily De
considered when decisions are reached
The plan Of inquiry is broader than mas
been commonly supposed.
The commission viii consider not only
the regulation of the height OF buildings
but the question of their proper proper
ton in other respects and according TO
location and uses. and. incidentally Will
give attention to the proper grouping ana
distribution Of buildings with relation 10
the general need of correct city planning
and the relief OF congestion.
Mr.. McAneny explains that for these
reasons the commission. as appointed
contains among its members not only real
estate brokers, men interested IN the
financing of real estate operations archi
iects. builders and lawyers, but rapid
transit experts and representatives OF
both labor and social work. He added:
Unless the public spirited and pro
cressive real estate interests of the city
can be made to see that some proper reg
,llation of the height and size of build
ings is a public necessity. and that the
broader distribution of population and oil
attendant real estate activities VIII be- TO
their own ultimate interest. II does not
seem TO the committee that there IS much
probability that the height of buildings
will be regulated. We have, therefore
taken especial pains to bring within the
commission some Of the most representa-
tive Of the men of this type
The fun commission is as follows:

PREPARING FOR SHOW

of several large real estate and brokerage
concerns from Canadian cities.

reserved 700 square feet OF floor space
at the Palace, includes firms from Hamil-
ton and Toronto, but the interest aroused
by the suggestion that real estate men
from across the border could proiitaoly
Join in the exhibition will probably bring
further additions to the group within the
next few days.
Strange as it may seem, the cher
motive of the Canadian real estaters' IN
coming 10 this city is not 10 stimulate
interest in their properties among in
vestors in the States While their cX-
hibitions will naturally have greater or
less effect in that direction. their principal
object is to famillarize themselves with
New York development and selling meth
DDS.
For the attainment OF this end the snow
will afford almost unlimited opportunities.
Practically all OF the prominent develop
ment companies will be represented, and
their rivalry in displaying the attractive
features OF their various properties VIII
result in showing the invaders from the
North country about all that there is TO
show about this city and its envrons.
The exhibitions of Wostchestcr County
and other communities will also en-
phasize the importance attached TO the
idea. being tried this year for the iirst
time on a large scale, of attracting the
visitors attention to an entire section
rather than to the property OF single
concern OF individual.
Preparations are already under way for
giving the Canadians opportunities to set
first hand impressions of the city

able TO visit VIII have realistic presenta-
