ration brought yesterday by Gregor
Skolnik, violin virtuoso and concert mas
Clara Skolnik In the petition filed In the

years his senior.
So severe were the unharmonious
strains OF their married life. SkolnilS says,

the fame OF his high artistic position was
hardly strong enough TO make up for hts
unhappiness. and IL was only by a "su-
preme effort OF will' that he refrained
from taking his own life. His loss OF
weight Is explained partly by his COM
plant that IN the six years OF their mar
riage Skolnlk was compelled TO cook all
his own meals.
The Skolnks were married when he was
nineteen and she thirty-ono. Ills wife
SAYS Skolnik induced him TO give up his

dition was much better. When he re-
turned from abroad aboard the lmperator

taken 10 the Hotel st. Denis, which Is
run by his half brother. Lawrence Multi

Toward midnight last night the word
went out along the Bowery that the big
fellow had come back once more. and
hundreds OF those who had received his
bounty in life went TO pay their debt In

SCEPTRE Of SULLIVAN
WILL FALL TO FOLEY
Former Sheriff Left in Undis-
puted Control of Tammany
Forces on East Side.
CONGRESS PRIZE IN DOUBT
Seat Left Vacant in House May
Be Filled by Julius Har-
burger or State Sen
ator Fitzgerald.

Gradually former Sheriff Thomas r.
Foley leader OF the ID Assembly Dis
trict. has been assuming the sceptre that
so long was held over the TammIny
forces on the lower East Side by the Sui
livans Now that big Tim Sullivan has
died. Foley will be in undlsputed control
Only recently he showed his influence in
forcing settlement OF the leadership
fight against Senator John c. Fitzgerald
in the Sd District something that even
Big Tim had not been able TO do IN
his weakened mental condition
For years Foley has been a force in
Tammany. but never sat in to repre-
sent the entire East Side IN the Tammany
councils until recently. lie was one Of
the eight "conspirators" at the Demon-
leo conference which turned down Mayor
Gaynor for denomination. lie. as much
as any other man. was responsible tor
the selection of Chairman Mccall.
There was some speculation yesterday
as TO when the successor to Big Tim
as Representative from the 18th District
would be chosen. and as TO who the can
didate would be. Several OF the big
Fellows" friends said 1t would be trib-
ute TO his memory 10 leave the seat va
cant FOR the present. lie was elected last
fall but owing to poor health never went
10 Washington 10 be- sworn IN. The vote
OF that district is not needed there.
II Is too late now to select candidate
at the primaries. but a special primary
could be called at any time. The choice
could be made at the coming election, and
IL may be done then in order TO avoid the
expense Of a special election. There is
another vacancy in Congress from this
city. Francis Burton Harrison having been
Philippines. Both primaries could be
held at tie same tlme.
Senator John c. Fitzgerald, leader OF
the Sd District, has long been anxious TO
go 20 Congress. He succeeded big Tim
in tho State Senate. and his enemies ac-
cused him Of trying 10 get the nomination
for Congress that Big Tim got last fall.
However. the Sullivan fight on Fitzgerald
Is over. and he may be named 10 succeed
Sullivan now. lie would not want 20 re-
sign from tho Senate, however. as long
as tho SulZer impeachment proceedings
were on.
Sheriff julius hamburger. who lives in
Sulliyan's district. Was mentioned yester-
day as his successor in Congress Mr..
hamburger Is now on the Tammany ticket
as candidate for Coroner. lie could re-
sign. however. IN time TO accept the nom
inatior for Congress. A candidate for
Coroner could be substituted by COM
mittee on vacancies.

Frank Farrell, Deverys brother-in-law,
ana Dave Johnson. had a big racing sta
bic. He won a lot OF money and he lost
a lot. lie got out OF the game i'll 1907 and
never went back though he never LOST an
opportunity to place bet.
Many stories are current IN the East
Side concerning big Tim one OF the
favoritcs is that once in an election IN
Sulliyan's district three Republican votes
showed up. and he went 10 Tammany
Hall TO apologize to Richard Croker.
II knew about two Of them said Sui
Ivan. "for they have Republican JOBS,
but for the life OF me can't account for
the third guy"
Years ago, before the East Side began
to call Sullivan The Big Fellow, he was
generally known as DRY Dollar suil-
van" but that name gradually gave way.
IL was said that when Sullivan was still
at school he found a revenue stamp that
had been attached 10 "A beer barrel lie
took the stamp TO school with him and
held It against the stove. when the
teacher asked him what he was doing ne
replied: Drying a dollar That was
