Iunard liner Lusitania were Jerome n.
Jerome. the English author; Mrs.
George CORVALLIS West, known on the
stage as Mrs. Patrick Campbell, and
James Barnes, the writer.

for years, came over for tour of the

readings from his books.
Mr.. Barnes, who went to the front in
Belgium and France TO procure mate
rial for his war articles, declared that
the needless destruction of property IN
Louvain and Rheims was not the work
cf any individual German commander,
but was merely the enforcement OF or

Ahe will appear in "Pygmalion," by
George Bernard Shaw. Mrs. Campbell

Mrs. Campbell was loud in her
praise OF the conduct of the English
women in the present crisis.
ut is little short Of miracle she
said, "the way in which, at moments
notice. they have shown themselves Sc
capable Of self-sacrifice, hard work, en-
ergy and cool courage. All individual
onyicty and sorrow is bravely put aside
bv them. 1t looks as though only the
next generation in England will know
what JOY is"

for England Without Re-
membering Her.

Mrs. Ida Raymond Broadhurst in

Court, yesterday that her husband,
George Broadhurst, the playwright. has

Justice Ford granted the application
OF Mrs. Broadhurst 10 place on the

her husband. which represents the
amount of alimony due on October J..
The separation decree provided for the
payment Of that amount each month to
October and $3.50 a month thereafter.
All the payments were made until the
first of this month. The alimony
checks came TO Mr.. Broadhurst through
Thomas W. Broadhurst, whom the
playwright's wife regarded as his
agent.
Mrs Broadhurst communicated with
Thomas W. Broadhurst and he IN
formed her that he had nothing for her
and that her husband had taken all his
money with him. The agent said that
he knew nothing about further pay
ments.

hurst, who has been under the care OF
his father since the separation Of his
parents, that Mrs. Broadhurst learned

JUSTICES PROVIDE
COMMERCIAL COURT
Two Parts Designated for the
Exclusive Trials of Suits
Over Paper.

The City Court. which is overcrowd-
ed with pending cases. has adopted new
rules to hurry along the trials. Acting
on the recommendation of the New
York County Lawyers Associations
committee on practic and procedure IN
the City Court, of which former JUS
tice Robert l.. Luce is chairman, the
justices have designated Parts III and
" for the exclusive trials of suits IN
volving commercial paper, goods sold
and delivered and rent cases. This
form of litigation makes up perhaps
80 per cent of all that is brought in the
City Court, and the arrangement. 1t IS
expected, will cut down the usual time
for trial from six months to about
two and half weeks from the serving
OF the summons.
This will make the City Court the
great commercial tribunal of the city,"
said Mr.. Luce. "and should be of i'm
mense value to commercial interests.
The City Court is behind about a
year on its calendar. and the justices
have been sitting an hour longer each
day to relieve the situation. This move
has affected jurymen. W. B. Needham.
a juror in the part of the court where
Justice Finelite is sitting this month,
objected to the arrangement yesterday.
Mr.. Needham wrote a letter, saying
that he considered the long hours a
hardship on the jurors. Justice Fine
lite admitted it was hardship. but
said that as he and his associates were
willing to work overtime the jurors
should rot complain. but do their duty
in the same public spirit.
