WOMAN POISON PEN"
WRITER DISCOVERED
Former Asylum Inmate, Says
Titus-No Arrest.

George F Titus, formerly a police
Inspector and now a private detective,
announced yesterday afternoon that
the identity of the writer of the poison
pen letters TO young women following
the announcements of their engage
ments or weddings is known. lie added,
however, that, as far as his clients are
concerned, there will be no arrest.
For some weeks past a number Of
prominent young women have received
letters in which the writer said TO each
that the man about 20 become bride
groom was the father of the writer's
twin children.
When fifteen such letters had been
received Inspector =. i. Fitch was put
on the case He called in W. j. Kinsley,
the handwriting expert.
In the meantime eX-Inspector Titus
and his partner, ex-Captain Barney
Kelleher, were called in on case Of a

ave went right after the case" Titus
said yesterday, "snd in few days we
found that the letters were coming
from the immediate vicinity Of a GER
tain asylum, the identity of which do
not care 20 disclose.
Yesterday we clinched our case. The
woman who has written the letters was
a former asylum inmate. She is now
living with her folks, somewhere in
the suburbs. She comes of an excel
lent family, and apparently takes a
fiendish delight in creating trouble for
young folks during the happiest period
of their lives while they are engaged
or on their honeymoons."

THEATRE FOR GABY
JUST FOR A NOD
Millionaire to Give Her a Play
Home in Broadway, SO
She Saws.

Gaby Deslys. the vivacious French
comedienne who changed the history
Of Portugal. need only nod her pretty
head and she will have New York
theatre. The offer to make her a pres
ent of one comes from a prominent
oh, so prominent! -American million
sire. Not only that. but IL is stated
that the actress, realizing that it was
her nodding made her Gaby. is about -
squiesce.
The tale has something more than
Broadway rumor 10 recommend II, for
II came from the lips of Gaby herself
and was confirmed last night at the
Offices Of Charles B. Dillingham;, Gaby's
manager. Yes, indeed, the offer has
been made, il was admitted. II will be
called the Theatre Deslys. and it Will
be the most swagger playhouse in New
York, or anywhere else. for that mat
ter-but the name of the giver? Aha.
that Is the secret.
Gaby is at present in Philadelphia
with the stop! Look Listen!" COM
psny. 1t was from Philadelphia that
the rumor first came, and it specified a
kind of theatre that dear old Philadel-
phia would simply not tolerate for
minute. For it is to be French. that
theatre, and the acts will come from
certain portions of Paris, and it will
not be a bit of use of ones arriving al
the theatre before 10 o'clock in she
evening, because the entertainment will
not really get under way until that
hour. When il will stop is another
question.
EVERYBODY who heard the story last
night thought that he or she knew the
name Of the mysterious millionaire. and
occasionally it was whispered into a re-
ceptive ear. The man is at present IN
London, il was said, and ne has been
known to do things Of this sort before.
So why not? asked Broadway, aud
paused in vain for reply.
The information 10 be obtained Mt
Mr.. Dillingham's Offices was bit more
definite. The house will seat 900 and
will open next season. 1t was said that
Mr.. Dillingham; will undoubtedly mau-
age the theatre. but it will just as un-
doubtedly be owned by Gaby. 1t will
be on Broadway, Of course. and not
many blocks south Of the Winter Gar
den. And such theatre! Oil
All satins and silks and soft. luXuri-
ant magnificence- is Gaby's idea,
il was said. Perhaps there will even
be incense. If Gaby does the planning,
as she certainly will. there is really 40
way Of telling where she will stop.
Perhaps she will not stop at all.
And the mysterious New York and
London millionaire it is unlikely
that he will come over for the open
ing. In fact, il is unlikely that he will
ever identify himself publicly with the
enterprise On the highest and most
authority, there are said
TO be reasons.

OLD MOTHER LOSES
FIGHT ON CONVENT
Court Upholds Her Daughters
Choice to Quit Home for
the Sacred Heart.

Mrs. Maria Buccellato was all alone
in the dark little East Side kitchen In
the back bedroom a child fretted for its
supper, but there was no one TO help
the feeble little old grandmother. That
had been settled forever in Justice
Giegerich's court in the afternoon. An
gelina, the baby Of the family, pretty
Angelina, had turned her back on her
mother and had gone away with the
sisters of the Convent of the Sacred
Heart TO become a nun.
Justice Giegerich had expressed ju-
dicial approval of her choice.
81 am Catholic myself" he said, ad-
dressing the lawyer. Jerome Licari.
Tell your client I should think she
would feel proud to have her daughter
enter a religious order and devote her
life 70 God, when so many other young
women of her age and attractiveness
are giving themselves to the pursuit of
pleasure"
Mrs. Buccellato wept and kissed her
daughter goodby.
The case came into court through
the mothers fear that Angelina was
being restrained at the convent against
her will Last Friday she caused writ
TO be served on the sisters TO bring her
daughter to court. Yesterday it de-
veloped that Angelina had made her
choice voluntarily.
II was six months ago that the pretty
twenty-year- girl disappeared from
her home, at 1928 East Eleventh Street.
"Her mother was sick for her a
whole month" said the little girl from
Upstairs who was interpreting. "She
never heard from her all summer. Then
one day she got letter she should go
by Fort Washington In the subway.
There she found her girl in the con-
vent. Her hair was all shaved off. Her
mother cried to see it. Then the girl she
cry, too. Her hands were all red from
washing. They don't have any servants
there. The girl said she didn't want TO
stay there any more"
In court yesterday, when questioned
BY Justice Giegerich. Angelina said she
had changed her mind, and that she did
wish 70 stay at the convent. She had
told the sisters she did not like her
home because her big brothers beat her

Philadelphia. Nov. 30.-John Wana-

sion, generous heart and fat pocket

regard to the labor situation. followed
the expression of this doubt.

but that he did not have plan to
stop the war;
Il said to him, You are manufact-

member of your party is an author;
a fourth has no profession or business,
and so on and so on. When we get
across the water we couldn't get a
door to open in Downing Street, at
Potsdam or in the Wilhelmstrasse.
There must be the government behind
this peace movement. Why don't you
buy the ship outright and give 1t 10
President Wilson, and let him use II
when the opportunity arises to make
such a step in the interests OF peace ? "
Coming after an expression Of great
respect and regard for Mr. Ford, no
one could detect any bitterness or
scorn in Mr.. Wanamaker's words. 1t
seemed simply the pricking of bubble,
and thus the members Of the club
seemed 10 take it.
Mr.. Wanamsker continues;
"If this war is to be fought out TO
the bitter end, the sooner it is done
the better"
