ADMINIsTRATTvE BOARD MAY CON-
sTRUCT SEWERS wHaN AP-
PRECIPITATION rs MADE,
WITHOUT REFERENCE.

In following up his suggestion OF
several days ago that the city might
save money by furnishing the outdoor
poor with coke from the gas works in
stead of spending about 5000 an
nualIy for coal, Commissioner Hirseh-
berg offered resolution at the meet
ing of the administrator board di-
recting Superintendent Knowles to
store $4,000 bushels of coke to be
used on order from Superintendent
Cabell. of the City home, who has
charge of the distribution of fuel to
the city's outdoor poor.
q This will save the city the sum
OF xz.S11.40 a year" explained Com
missioner Hirschberg. and the coke
produced at the gas works may as
well be used as coal. 1t is Just as
good"
Superintendent Cabe1l was instruct
ed to advertise for supplies for the
City home for the next three months,
the bids to be opened on February
18th at noon.
An opinion of the city attorney
was read by the board yesterday in
which the board is shown to have
the right to construct sewers when
ever the money has been appropri-
ated. without further reference TO
council.
The sale of the dancing pavilion at
Byrd park TO r. B. Walton for 500
was allowed. provided he removes the
structures within thirty days.
Nelson Evans was elected orderly
at the City home, in place OF L. z.
Hulcher, resigned.
The board determined to employ
two. additional men at Byrd park, and
instructed the keeper 10 have the
benches at the park reprinted.

On motion Of Mr.. Beck, a resolu-
ton was adopted prohibiting the erec-
.tion of signs on buildings lower than
ten feet, and more than three feet ex-
tension over the sidewalk.

PHEuE JUSTICE APPEARS IN
DIVORCE COURT IN NEG
YORK.

NEW YORK, Feb. t1.--Mra Mar
garet Mackie. daughter of Prescott
Smith, one of the leading trial law
Yers Of Ohio. who was elected iustice
Of the Supreme court Of Cincinnati
in the fan of 1871, and who died OF
heart failure last April told Supreme
Court Justice Hendricls today Of the
troubles she experienced when she
was compelled TO 60 on the stage to
support herself few months after
she became the wife of Cecil ID.
Mackie.
Mackie, who goes under the name
of Cecil Mackie. is being sued for
separation on the ground of non- SUPP
port, and in asking Justice Hendrick
for alinony Mrs. Mackie said that
her husbands present venture In
profitable and that he Is able TO pro-
vide for her.
Takes 10 the Stage.
The Mackies were married on De-
cember 2. 1911, and after a honey
moon at Sharon, Conn, went to live
at sf1 West One Hundred and Thir-
teenth street, Mrs Mackie was called
home to console her mother after her
fathers sudden death, and when she
returned she and her husband went
to live at the Forest Hill inn. She
said that after they had staid there
three weeks her husband gave Al
check for their board bill which was
rejected at the bank. and then, find
ing that her husband was unable to-
support her or provide the neces-s
saries of life, she took an engagement
with q theatrical production known
as The Romancers." under the stage
name of Margaret Randolph and re-
ceivcd IS performance
Mrs Mackie said that during the
ftfrna ha MIA oh y,t -
live at the Hotel st. Margaret at her
husbands suggestion, but after she
had become indebted there her hus-
band filed a petition in bankruptcy
and notified the hotel that he wouldn't
be responsible for her bills. Mrs
Mackie said she felt insuited by such
action because her husband had not
given her penny for four months.
Stranded In Syracuse.
The following letter. written by Mrs
Mackie to her husband from Syracuse
on January Sth, while she. was on the
road with THE RomaneeFs," was SUBJ
mitted to the court:
II think this play win close Sat-
urday. ! wouldn't be surprised il We
were all here for life. 1t failed hor-s
ribly, and Ii looks as though the part
ner with the money had disappeared.
Heaven knows how I'll get back To-
New York III see Yen at the St
Margaret III anything In to be gained
by 1t, but never expect to get out OF
Syracuse"
Mackie told the court that he has a
salary of only s25 week. and that
he has been sending her all the money
he could spare. He said that when f1u
first met the plaintiff she was the di-.
vorced wife of George r. Burgle-s
hause, who sued her for abandon
ment when she left him to go on the
stage. Justice Hendrick denied the
application for aIimony.
