SAYS DIVORCE SUIT
RUINED PRACTISE
Doctor Declares His Income Has
Dropped from Several Thou
sand to $665.

That patients object to treatment
by a physician whose wife is suing
him for divorce was the substance
of a statement made today by DR..
Albert Pitts, of Plainfield, to former
Governor John Franklin Fort, who
is hearing testimony in Mrs. Pittis's
application for permanent afimony.
He was explaining how his practise
had been dwindling since his marital
troubles first took a legal turn, until
it now nets him only 1865 year.
"I used to have a practise that
brought me several thousand dollars
year" he declared, but 1t has
been shattered by these divorce pro-
eeedings. My patients now are most
ly Italians and negroes"
For the past few months, Mrs.
Pitts has been living on temporary
allmony of $50 a week on an order
made by Vice-Chancellor Stevens.
In her application she says her
husbands income in $4,000 a year,
which includes the rentals from his
property in Plainfield. and his ninth
interest in an estate left by his
father, Thomas Henry Pitts.
Mr.. Pitts was placed on the stand
by his counsel, former Senator Ried,
and submitted figures setting forth
that his plainfield property is as
sessed at $6S,675, and that with his
share in his fathers estate and his
practise it brought him s6.4s0.52 last
year. His expenses. he said, were 3d.
271 SO, leaving a balance of $3.2O9.93.
Mrs. Pitts. who was Miss Ida Caro-
line Borsum. is living with her
parents Mr. and Mrs. Louis Borsum,
at 1893 South street, this city. She
startled fashionable circles in Plain
field in September. 1911. by separating
from her husband and beginning ac-
ton for divorce on the ground of
cruelty In one instance she charged
that her husband had assaulted her
in their automobile enroute to West
field. and that she had to appeal to
the police in that place.
In recommending the decree. for
mer Governor Fort characterized DR..
Pitts as a man of "sullen, morose
temperament" and referred to Mrs.
Pitts as "a quiet. modest little worn-
an of good intelligence and refined
association" She is represented by
Mason II. Richardson, Walter /.
Auten and Charles S. Shreve. DR..
Pittis's attorneys are Judge Runyon
and former Senator Ried.

Like sheep going to be slaughtered
the gullible public in its mania to
get something for nothing blindly
puts it's hard earned money into the
Golfers of the fake auction houses.
These buyers prove the truth of
Barnums saying that Americans
like to be humbugged.
With a full realization of their
methods and that complaints will
undoubtedly be made to the authori-
ties, every reasonable precaution Is
taken by the auctioneers in question
to beat the case should a complaint
end in a police court, and with this
much of the law on their side the
case is usually settled by the refund
of the money.
In a recent visit to several of these
places by a reporter for The Evening
Star more modern methods than
having "bidder-in" were displayed.
Instead, the auctioneer raises the
prices by nodding his head at an
imaginary bidder. In one case a
pair of genuine lace" curtains were
put up. The price started at 10
cents, went to ~ cents, ana then
suddenly leaped to so cents, when
two unsuspeeting housewives inno-
Gently raised the price to So cents. at
which price dozens of others pairs
OF curtains were sold.
Extois His Own Honesty.
In a similar manner a genuine
hand painted set of hotel china" was
sold. The auctioneer, who talked for
five minutes on his honesty and ex-
planned that he could not give this
stuff away if it were not for the
fact that it was sent to him on con-
Segment, said that the reason the
set was being sacrificed was because
the cups and saucers to the set had
been broken. Six dinner plates were
first offered, and after knocking
legitimate dealers on their prices, the

WE copy the following from World s Work: A word of warning to the busi- ness world. During the spring and summer the most important schedules of the tariff will suffer reductions in the rates of duty. The election of a Democratic Congress was a command of the people to do this very thing. For tupately for the business interests of the country. Mr. Wilson and Mir. Underwood are not men of destructive or radical temperaments. They are not doctrinaires. They will proceed cautiously; for they know the value of commercial security and the danger of great sudden changes. And they, no doubt, will have more to do with the extent of reductions than any other two men. So much for the new Ad- ministration and the new Congress and the command of the people ?
