time religious custom. Church life is
being interfered with by golf, autOmo-
biles, country life and a very liberal
outlook on life.
1t is certainly a changing world we
are living in, but we should not COM
plain for in most ways it is for the
better The masses of people are be-
ginning to look for something that
cannot be bought in a drygoOds shop.
There is a modern interest in things
called ideal, which is a step higher up.
We are becoming less materialistic,
more spiritual As a nation we are
growing in appreciation. We are more
poetic, we love art in all its forms.
Our interests are broadening. We are
more altruistic. Scientific advance
ments are being encouraged. 1t is a
satisfaction to know we are climbing
in our changes, not retrograding.

Mrs. Kathleen L. Onffroy has again

Having lost this most important
point in her litigation with her hus-

the suffering of the mother who is now
deprived Of the comfort and compan-
ionship of her little ones is to be as
suaged by the payment of s25 week
6limony until the court has finally
passed on the merits of Onffroy's suit
for separation and his wifes counter
claim.
II is about two weeks since Mrs.
0nffroy, driven to desperation by the
absence of her children, Roland T..

the 0nfroy home, at 725 Riverside
Drive. Mrs. Onfroy obtained a writ
of habeas corpus TO compel her hus-
bank 30 produce the children in court.

altogether too slowly for the anguished
mother, so she took the children away

aWaV After Fight.

Otto l. Roehr, of East Rockaway,
Long Island, VINO went suddenly insane

cupied bungalow in East Rockaway
for about a year. The family also
has a house at +s7 Prospect Place,
Brooklyn. Late Saturday night Roehr
crossed the lawn TO the home OF his
next door neiGhbor, George L. Smith,
and accused him of Saying things
about him" Mr.. Smith tried to quiet
the man, believing the heat had af
fected him, but his oyertures toward
peace resulted OILY in sending Roehr
away with the muttered threat TO re-
turn and ak" the whole bunch.
The Smith family had retreated into
the house, with Mrs. Smith on the
verge Of hysteria, when Roehr returned
with a shotgun. He poked the muzzle
through a screen and remarked, calmly:
"Now, in three seconds I'm going 10
begin killing you. Which of you want
10 go first?'
Alarmed for their lives, some one Of
the family turned out the light. Roehr
continued AZ the window, Smith says.
for some FIVE minutes. during which
the family escaped from the room.
Then Roehr took up a position on the
porch, announcing that he would get
them when they came out. One of the
family escaped from rear window,
hurried of and notified Sheriff Petit.
The Sheriff arrived and after a coun-
Gil of war, Roehr was tricked into APP
preaching the fence, where the Sheriff
stood While this was going on a
deputy got the shotgun. Roehr was
handcufed, but put up a lively fight,
his six feet Of Drawn telling we'll in the
battle, as the marks upon his adver-
saries attest,
Roehr's family are the principal
stockholders in the Roehr Publishing
Company, Of Brooklyn, which publishes

SCUDDER REFUSES
CIRCUIT A HEARING
Cropsey Objects, and Justice
Agrees to Refer the Case
to Another.

Justice Scudder refused to hear ar
qument in the Supreme Court, Brook
Ign. yesterday on an order to sho"
cause why a certificate of reasonable
doubt should not be granted Edward
NJ Grout. under sentence for perjury
in connection with the affairs OF the
Union Bank. The justices decision
followed an objection Of District At
torne" CropseN who stated that he dld
not want Justice Scudder to hear the
motion and asked thai the matter be
referred TO another Justice.
Mir. Cropsey's stand in the matter
is the result of a controversy between
him and members of the bench during
the preliminary motions in the recent
Grout trial In a public speech at
that time Mr.. Cropsey referred TO GER
tain justices as "hand-picked' and as
"bosom friends" of Mr.. Grout. JUS
tice Scudder was among these. When
the Grout order was called for argu-
ment in Special Term Mr.. Cropsey at
once arose and said:
"The District Attorney is ready, but
respectfully asks that this matter DE
referred to another Justice. This re
ouest is based upon certain statements
made by your honor concerning the
defendant, the District Attorney and
the present management of the District
Attorneys office"
Justice Scudder interrupted:
~ do not think it necessary to go
further into those matters at this
time" he said. Perhaps some ar
rangement can be made as TO going be-
fore another Justice. If ! understand
the practice, there is power in this
court 10 send the case to some other
department or some other Judge
Stephen c.. Baldwin, counsel for Mr..
Grout. objected at once to the sending
of the matter before another justice
and there was some further colloquy.
Justice Scudder then declared that he
would try to find another justice who
would hear the argument.
Grout is in the city prison under
STAY of sentence. The stay expires on
Friday.
