WASHINGTON, April 26.-Miss
Alys Meyer, daughter of President
Tafts secretary of the navy, was
married today to Lieutenant Ray
mond p. Rodgers, U. S. N, formerly
a White House aid, only it was not
as Alys Meyer that she became a

Whats your name?" he asked
when she and her husband be
called at the bureau.
"Alys Meyer she answered, not
pausing to spell the word out. And,

WANTS UNCLE SAM TO
EQUALIZE LABOR HOURS

WASHINGTON, April 26-An
amendment to the constitution, which,
when ratified by thirds of the
States, would give Congress the power
to make uniform the hours of labor
throughout the United States, is pro-
posed in resolution introduced IN
the House today by Representative
Curley, of Massachusetts,.
Representative Curley contends
that the difference in the hours of
labor in many States, varying from
forty-four hours week in Massa-
chusetts to sixty-six hours in the
Southern States, creates an "unwar-
ranted discrimination in favor of
manufacturers located in States
where the long hours prevail.

SHOP AND
FLIGHT A MYSTERY
Market Street Firm" Got Nc
Money, but Its Originator
Puzzled Merchants.

The police are mystified over the
calling himself A. F. Perry, jr., who
rented store at BAT Market street,
and Immediately began requesting
merchants to take stock in a hotel
supply company at 1925 in gold coin"
each, but who skipped before any of
his desired victims had time to COM
ply with his request He left a
rambling letter behind, telling the
uselessness of putting the police on
his trail, and threatening exposure of
their business methods if the mer-
chants "squealed."
The store was rented several days
ago from a real estate firm, and a
check, which proved to be worthless
drawn on the Westchester Trust
Company, of Yonkers, N. Y, was
given in payment. Immediately upon
assuming possession the firms name
was painted on the windows and 110
empty barrels were placed insideA
Drew on the Bowery.
Five men were imported from
Bowery lodging house. in New York,
and a desk was purchased from the
w. B. Woods Company, another
worthless check for $18 being given
in payment. Thus equipped for busi-
ness letters to merchants in Com
merce street telling of someone who
was operating in the FIRMS name in
different cities, and offering to supply
more information if the merchant
would bring his books to the Office
of Perry & Son for comparison with
the latter's books.
From the rambling letter left be-
hind 1t was believed that the object
of the last request was to get pos
session of the firms customers, as
the writer threatened to inform the
customers of the firms business
methods If the police We're notified
but. in the event the matter was
kept quiet and the customers were
given better treatment, the list would
be returned on July 1.
After a rigid investigation Lieuten-
ants Harris and Mcconnell, of Chief
Corbitt's staff. reported that no money
had been obtained, and that no mery
chants had shown their books.
The five men, who said they had
been hired to pack china, were sup
piled by the police with carfare to
New York to prevent them becoming
a charge on the city.

EXPECT WARRANTS
IN GRAFT EXPOSE
Jersey Officials, Trapped by
Dictaphone, May Soon
Be Arrested.
Especial to the Newark star.I

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. April 26.--
Attorney General Wilson is expected
to look over the evidence secured by
Jack Whiting a Burns detective. by
use of the dictaphone planted in Had
don Hall. on which the Rev. William
Fisher, of Ocean City. declares he
will swear out warrants for the ar
rest of w. Scott Hand, a member of
the Ocean Boulevard Commission,
Leaning Rice. engineer of Cape May
county, and William j. Johnson. a
freeholder Of the same county.
The detective does not say that he
paid money except to one man, and
the dictaphone records do not men
tion any transfer of money, but con-
tains some damaging testimony as to
previous deals of similar character.
The scheme, involving the collec-
ton of graft. was to link Beasley's
Point and Somers Point with a troll
ley bridge spanning Great Egg Har
bor bay. The officials. ii is alleged,
promised to vote a franchise to the
detectives. who represented them
selves as New York trolley magnates.
In return for gratuitles.

KIN OF INVENTOR
SUING FOR $4,000
Cases Involving Conspiracy
Charges Against Prominent
Essex Residents in Court.

Motions in two cases where persons
prominent in Essex county are
charged with conspiracy and where
the amount of damages involved is
large were argued before Chief JUS
tice William S. Gummere in the Su-
preme Court today, decision in both
cases being reserved.
The first case was that of Mrs.
Katherine Allison Welsh against
Frank L. Dyer, former president of
the National Phonograph Company
an Edison concern at West Orange,
and Dyer Smith. a patent attorney,
in which Miss Welsh seeks to recover
$500 damages for patent rights
owned by Abram r. Welsh, now de-
ceased, and of which she alleges that
the two defendants conspired to OBJ
tain possession of unlawfully.
The matter was before the chief
justice on a motion by Conover Eng
lish, of McCarter & English, to dis
miss the complaint on the ground

1t is alleged in the complaint that
Dyer, after being iterested in the case
of Welsh by Mrs. Thomas A. Edison,
took advantage of the illness Of the
man and made an effort to obtain the
letters patent from him.

On the death of Welsh, in 1910, Mr..
Dyer says he turned over to his ad-
all papers he had of
Welsh's, including those bearing on
the patents. He also says that Miss
Welsh now admits she has an assign
ment of all the patent right of her
brother and that they are now in her
possession.
Mr.. English contends that the right
to start a suit charging conspiracy
expired with the death of Mr.. Welsh,
but a different view was taken by

matter for two weeks to allow Mr..
