AND VANISHED
Nolan, Sued for Divorce, AS
serts Furniture Also Went
When Wealth Fell to Wife.

It was not love and poverty, but
love and wealth, that FLASHED in the
Court of Chancery, Jersey City, yes
tcrday.
Mrs. Katherine Lindley Nolan, who
Inherited an estate valued at 100000,
asked for a divorce from William No
Ian, who struggled for years to main
tain an humble home in Long Branch
for her and their six children. Nolan
still labors in Long Branch, while
Mrs. Nolan and the children, the eldest
twenty-three and the youngest ten. oc-
cupy fashionable quarters in the Ber-
gen Heights section.
As a charge Of absolute desertion
would not stand, Charles Simpson, for
Mrs. Nolan, asked Vice-Chancellor
Griffin for permission to amend the
complaint and substitute constructive
desertion. Decision was reserved.
Love and wealth were strikingly
contrasted in court when Nolan ap-
peared in an ill-fitting suit that showed
service, while the wife wore an ex-
pensive tailor-msde suit and had dla-
monds sparkling at her throat and on
the finger where her wedding ring was
formerly worn.
Mrs Nolan charged that since Octo-
Der /, 1910, her husband had not con
trbuted to her support. 81 don't
want him 10 support me, either" she
added, because | do not need It. and
Pm clad he left me. would never
consent to go back to him"
The husband declared in his defence
that his family took advantage Of his
absence one day TO pack up and depart
without word to show their destlna-
ton
"When I returned" he added, 81
had no home My wife took every
stick Of furniture with her. | traced
her and the children to Jersey City.
Now she is living in one OF the finest
houses there, has plenty of money and
doesn't love me any more"

Gallatin Wheeler, Jr., clubman and
broker. and Mrs. Claudia Carlstedt

few days ago. She il living at the
Hotel McAlpin.
When Claudia Carlstedt married
Albert Gallatin Wheeler in 1898 she
had won a wide reputation in comic

the New York Athletic, was member
Of j. b. Russell & Co., banking and

about S2,000,000. and his father, head
Of the corporation that built the Chi
cago tunnels, was rated at $l0,0OO,OOO.
The couple had been living at the
Dakota Apartments, in 1910, when Mrs.
Wheeler began a suit for separation,
alleging that her husband had aban-
doned her. She also made allegations
Of extreme cruelty, including the
statement that Wheeler had removed
all the furniture from their apart
ment, compelling her TO sleep on the
floor The court gave her decree
Of separation and $4,000 alimony.
Since then she has returned TO the
stage, and has spent much Of her time
in Europe.
Subsequently. on the petition Of
Wheeler, the alimony was reduced TO
5000 a month The Appellate Division
finally fixed the alimony at $4,000
year. Then there came change IN
the financial affairs of Wheeler, and
he told the court he could no longer
pay his wife the alimOny. His father
testified that he had advanced the
money that put him in the brokerage
business and made him member OF
the Stock Exchange. Wheeler ad-
mitted only that he had abandoned
his wife. but said he had good ground
for his action. go,
Despite her charges. and while

DAUGHTER LEFT
OUT OF WILL
Mother Asserts She Was HaraSs-
ed by Woman That She
Had DiSinherited.

Ms. Isabel II. Birmingham, wife o.
Sterling Birmingham. was disinherited
in the will Ct her mother, Mrs. Fannie
l.. Harris, filed in the SurrOgates' Court
yesterday because, as the testatrlX
said, "sho has seen fit to harass and
annoy me in the peaceful and quiet en-
Joyment Of my estate and has caused
the instigatiOn of troublesome, ma
licious, annoying and expensive litiga-
ton in connection with the estate Of
my late husband, John II. Harris"
Harris, who was ice-president OF
the Henry K. Worthington Company,
left in trust for his wife for life 1876
shares Of the Worthington stock, valued
a. $4,000 and paying per cent. Mrs.
Harris was TO have the income for life
and at her death her two daughters and
son were 10 receive the principal. The
son died before his mother, so that the
two daughters were entitled TO the
stock.
The litigation was a proceeding
brought by her daughter to have her
removed as trustee Of the estate Of her
husband. because she borrowed money
on some of the Worthington stock,
owing to her reduced circumstances.
Mrs. Harris left her entire estate,
which consisted Of $4,000 dividends Oh
the stock, TO her daughter Miss An
toinette s. Harris, but the principal
will b. divided by the two daughters.
Mrs. Harris also refers to a lack Of
affection which her granddaughter,
Mazda Birmingham, displayed. Where
as my granddaughter" she says. has
recently omitted calling on me and has
failed me in my need, l do not feel
that she cares for my love. But being
mindful of the fact that she is under
the influence Of her father and mother,
| will give my granddaughter a dia-
mond and pearl ring, provided she ex-
hibits TO me acts of kindness and of
love between now and my decease."

by Sleuths-Campbell

Repetition Of that affection described
by the police as "bombphobia" was ap-
parent yesterday afternoon, when
door in the Criminal Courts Building,
sweled by Thursdays rain, swung TO
with a crash that shattered the thick
plateglass and brought several de-
tectives, who have been unusually nc
tive since bomb was found in the
Tombs court on Saturday.
Joseph Regain, clerk in the office
of the District Attorney, narrowly es-
capped injury when he was showered
with broken glass as he was about to
pass through the doorway. Many peo-
pie in the building were apprehensive
of danger until the real cause of the

In his reply the magistrate expressed
the desire that the pastor would long
be spared 10 educate all social revolu-

Henry Bruerc surprised the members

he frankly stated he believed II would
be desirable to abolish the Office of
City Chamberlain. They saw visions
of Getting credit for cutting out Of the
budget the $l2, 900 which is the amount
of his annual salary in that position.
But in the next breath he told them
that the Board Of Aldermen had no
power to abolish the Office. as char
ter amendment would be necessary.

REVELATIONS KILL
CITY EXAMINATION
Examiners Friend
by Curious Aid Wins as
Fingerprint Expert.

As result of revelations in tho
State Civil Service Commissions in
quiry, the municipal commission an
nounced yesterday that it had can
celled the recent examination for
iingerprint experts and had abrogated
the eligible list already promulgated.
Ii was shown by the state commits
sion that the woman candidate who
passed first on the list was for many
years a trained nurse in the employ OF
DR.. De Forrest, one of the two eX-
aminers, and had never worked as a
ingerprint expert, but had studied the
system for few weeks IN Washing
ton, in the bureau of the Navy De
partment which is under the direction
of j. II. Taylor, the second examiner.
From that bureau the prints used in
the tests were taken. The successful
candidate admitted that she had been
allowed access 10 the files of the bu-
reau and had taken some Of the prints
home 20 study. She passed first over
Police Lieutenant Frederick Kuhne,
who has been i'm charge Of the finger
print bureau at Police Headquarters
for seven years. and who had obtained
numerous convictions Of criminals on
fngerprint evidence.
II was explained by DR.. De Forrest
that the successful candidates high
rating was due TO her superior educa-
tion, being a high school graduate and
q trained nurse. II was shown, how
ever. that TO another woman candidate,
who had worked in the courts in Brook
Ign for a long time as an expert and
who held three degrees. those of b. A.,
NJ A. and Ii. B., had been given q
much lower rating.
DR.. Moskowitz, president Of the Mu-
nicipal Civil Service Commission, in eX-
planning the cancelling of the eXamina-
tion, said yesterday:
1--WE have had the experience papers
of the successful candidates gone over
by other examiners, and there is a
wide divergence in the ratings of the
several candidates by the two sets Of
examiners. There has been much criti-
cism Of the examination, which,
whether warranted or not, we do not
care 20 have surround this or any other
Of our examinations The list is. there
fore, set aside, and new examination
viii be held as quickly as possible
1t was in this examination that an
employe named Scott in the service Of
the municipal commission marked the
papers of candidates in the chart test,
uenplte INC laCL NIoI ne was h4iHotiA d
competitor in the examination.
The Municipal Civil Service Commits
sion is readvertisinG the examination
for Superintendent Of Employment
Agency TO obtain wider competition.
In the new advertisement the maximum
age limit Of fifty years is waived alto
gether. DR.. Moskowitz, referring to
the fact that the original advertise
ment debarred Mr. Sears, now employed
temporarily as superintendent, stated
that even had the question Of Mr..
Sears taking the examination never
arisen the commission would undoubt-
eddy have readvertised the examination.
