MAYOR Anglers CARM0DY
Causes Resignation of DISCIPLE
nary Training School Head.

Francis y. Carmody. president Of the
board Of managers of the Brooklyn Dis
culinary Training School, which will
probably be abolished if the views of
Mayor Gayncr are carried out. sent his
resignation to that official yesterday. He
gave As his reason that the Mayer had for
some time refused to fiji four vacancies
in the board. because "thc institution was
being investigated"
This, Of course, was no excuse It all.
Mr.. Carmody wrote TO the Mayor. as
YOU very well know. Any normal mind
can see-and therefore you saw-that
there is no connection between the two.
Because of your refusal TO act the April
meeting of the board went over for want
Of a quorum. and important committee
work is hampercd and neglected.
81 favor the abolition of the school un-
der proper conditions. but think this
result should be accomplished IN an or
derby and businessiike way-not through
a course of executive inaction AID neglect
Of duty. You have shown yourself irdif-
ferent TO the interest of the school and
hostile and unfair TO its managers in the
above way and I'm countless other ways.
and I will not be further responsible for
the school under your administration IF
the city's business"

HUSBAND AGAIN SUED
BY $l0,000,0O0 WIDOW
This Time Mrs. Nevada Van Vokenburgh
Wants a Connecticut Divorce and Wont
Change Her Mind.

Mrs Nevada Van Volkenburgh. VINO is'
now I'm Europe. has instituted another sun
against her husband, Philip Van NolKeh-
burgh. this time for an absolute divorce
on the ground Of desertion. The suit Is
brought I'm the Superior Court of Wind
ham County, Conn. II is said that TINS
time Mr.. Van Volkenburgh has been prop
orly served and the hearing has been set
for May 6.
Mrs. Van Volkenburgh. the "slo,Ooo,oo0
widow" and her husband have taken their
troubles to court before this. Always
heretofore the difficulties dissolved before
the actions came TO trial. She brought
suit against her husband for separation IN
this state. but before the case got To
i,Irv Mrs. Van Volkenburgh decided she
didn't want to separate from her husband
after ali. Then she sued him TO get $780,
600 a year TO supply her with the neces-
stiles of life. While that action was pend
ing a summons in a suit for divorce was
served on her by her husband. She alleged
that she was never properly served In that
action. shortly afterward both actions
were dropped.
In the first suit which Mrs Van 'olken-
burgh attempted to bring against her hus-
band she found il impossible to serve him
with the papers. This time, as the SUIT Is
brought in Connecticut. service by publlca-
ton is permissible. and w. NJ X. olcott
counsel for Mr. Van Vokenburgh, said
Yesterday he believed the service was ac-
cording to the laws of Connecticut.
Mrs. Van Volkenburghs deposition has
already been taken. so she need not cur
short her European trip merely to appear
personally in the suit against her hus-
band.
According 10 the order of service Mr.
Van volkenbureh must appear in Putnam
Conn. on May and make answer to his
wifc's allegations
The Van VolkenburChs were married on
November %, 1909. Shortly afterward
they separated and Mrs. Van Nolken-
burch took IN hcr residence in Pomfrct
Conn. Three years residence Is required
by the Connecticut statutes before action
can BE- begun in that state. Mrs Var
Volkenburgh did not ovcrstay her time 10
any great extent She sailed for Europe
about three weeks ago. at about the time
the action for divorce in Connecticut was
instituted.
There was report yesterday that an
agreement had pecn reached regarding
alimohy and that 1t was improbable that
Mr.. Van Nolkenburgh would contest the
suit.
The sudden and temporary decisions
which marked the various suits Mrs. Nah
Volkenburgh has brought against her hus-
band were typical of her before she mar
ried Philip Van volkenburgh. The mar
