a handsomely gowned and refined ap-
pearing young woman was was ar

to the police that she is the wife OF
Lieutenant w. S. Rickert. wealthy
young naval officer stationed at the
Brooklyn navy yard.
She also informed the police that
she is a daughter of Mrs. Anna Copp
of So Long avenue, Pittsburgh, that
! she met 4 ientenaut Rickert Al Cnney
Island and married him three weeks
ago after rapidfire courtship.
Resisting every effort of the police
: to discover, her identity the young wo-
man did not weaken until she was
confronted with some letters which
were found her rooms. These let
ters were from Lieutenant Rickert
and indicated that she was his wife,
the police say In one of the letters
the lieutenant made an appointment I'd
meet hs bride in New York on Sunday.
She broke down completely and wept
when she saw the letters. The young
woman's mother was sent for. In the
opinion of the police, the fair prison
er is keptomaniac.
Mrs. Rickert was arrested Friday in
a local department store. She was
seen, it is alleged, to extract a purse
from the handbag of another woman.
When she was searched two silk dres-
ses closely wrapped and bearing the
tage of the store were found conceal
ed upon her person.

ARGENTINE BEEF ARRIVES

Butter From Siberia and Australia
Also Awaits Tariff Drop.
New York. Sept 15.-The first COM
mercial shipment of Argentine beef
that ever reached New York was
brought here by the steamship Van
Dyke from Buenos Ayries. 1t consisted
of 1000 quarters, and on account OF
the high price of domestic beef the i'm
porters expect to make good profit
on their venture.
Butter from Siberia and Australia is
here in bond waiting to make its de-
but into the American market along
with the beef A full thousand firkins
Of the Siberian product, weighing
about IA pounds each, are stored in
warehouses waiting the passage of the
new tariff bill, which would reduce the
present six cents tariff on butter to
two and a half cents. Delivered in
to the refrigerators, the Siberian but
ter has cost 20 SIS cents pound and.
adding the tax under the proposed tar
iff, 1t would come to the. dealer at
23 1-S cents. about five cents under the
prevailing prices for butter of similar
grade from domestic dairies.
Some of the experts declare that
the Siberian produce is as good as the
best grades of domestic butter. A
smaller quantity of Australian butter
and also a little from Canada also is
here in bond awaiting the opening Of
the gate into the American market.

HUNDREDS VIEW
SULlIVAN'S BODY
"Blg Tim. Was Killed by a
Train Is Days Ago.

New York, Sept. 15.-Hundreds OF
friends of the late Timothy D. Sullivan
representative in congress- thronged
the Sullivan club house at q Bowery
to view the body, which was brought
from the morgue to lie in state here.
1t has not been explained why the
name of big Tins" tailor and the
name of one OF his guards, which were
on his clothing and hat We're not in
.vestigated His linen also bore his
initials and the name of the maker
was in his shoes. Despite all these
marks his body was listed as "un-
known.
4 ba(l1 had; lain for Is days in
The n0rgue and was on the way to
Potter's Field when it was identified
by Larry Mulligan, his step-brother.
Sullivan, who was i'll, eluded his nurs-
es in the early morning of August 81,
and a few hours after was struck and
killed by train at Pelham Parkway.
So many friends and relatives i'd
entitled the body at the morgue as
that of the beloved Bowery politician
that wonder is expressed that it was
permitted to lie in the Fordham NOR
que 13 days without efforts being
made to run down the several clews-
that of tailor's label in the coat and
the name of one of his nurses in the
band of the hat he wore when he was

The Law Forbids Benevolent Be-
quests so Shortly Before the Giver's
Death.
Allentown, Pa, Sept. 15.-AllentOwn
stands amazed over the probability
that the will OF former Judge Edward
Harvey, it's greatest lawyer, president
of the Second National Bank and OF
the Allentown Hospital. is invalid, In
so far as. his s250,000 bequest to the
Allentown Hospital is concerned, as
the last codicil covering it was made
less than 80 days before he died
The alleged flaw in his will, which,
Mr.. Harvey himself drew with con-
scientious care, recalls the flaw in the
will of his lifelong friend, the late
Chief Justice Paxon,. whose charitable
bequests, notably that of almost ST.
100000 to the Buckingham Farm
School were set aside.
In the first draft of ms will, execu-
ted July /, 1903, Mr.. Harvey first of
all bequeathed $4,000 in trust for the
benefit of his aged aunt, Miss Augusta
his home be kept up in the same style
as though he were living as long as
she lived After her death this $50r
900 was to go at once to the Allen-
town Hospital. the income to go to
the maintenance fund. There Is no
question OF the validity OF this be-
quest, as it was not changed later.
Further on, in this original will, Mi.
Harvey, after making a number cf
personal and charitable bequests, has
this provision: "All the rest of my es-
tate / give and bequeath onehaif to
my two sisters, and the remaining half
to the Allentown Hospital, to be used
for maintenance.
In a codicil, dated August 21, Of
this year Mr.. Harvey changed this
section of the original will, after MAX
ing a bequest of $4,000 to the Phoebe
Deaconess and Old Folks Home, OF
this city, to read: II give one-thiyd OF
the remainder of my estate to my sis
ter, Sara NJ. Newell, of Doylestown.
another one-third to my sister, Emily
H. Rex, of Norristown. and the re-
naming one-third to the Allentown
Hospital, to be used for endowment
fund and income for maintenance.
This codicil is less than 80 days
old, and, it is declared by competent
attorneys. cannot stand under ~
laws OF Pennsylvania. It issdeel
that the revocation Of the one shalf &
the estate to the hospital in the origi-
nal will is valid. but that the new be-
quest of one-third to the institution In
a codicil less than 30 days old can
not and will not be confirmed by the
courts.
It is stated that when Mr.. Harvey
made his codicil one relative annoyed
him very much by objecting to his
bequest of $4,000 to the Phoebe Home.
In answer to this objection Mr.. Har-
yey said: Il have given to my sisters
100000 outright more in the codicil
than in the original will. And have
further arranged the will so that each
sister shall receive one-third of the
residue instead of one-quarter. Now,
rather than have you defeat my inten-
ton to make small beauest to the
Phoebe Home, | shall not make any
change at all The relatives, seeing
a total gain of about 100000, consent
ed to the codicil.
