already at work this idea, as result of the
advent of the jitney bus.
The present agitation seems to point to a greater
use of automobile bus lines in cities and towns Of
all sizes.
The normal function of such lines would be not
directly to compete with the street cars except at
points Of great congestion. They would rather
operate over streets and through districts not
served by transportation, carrying people to the
Meeting points of the car lines and opening up
territories.
1t not inconcevable that the traction interests
will in the end find the motor bus valuable factor
in solving the problems, both of congestion and of
tapping districts which for reasons of expense street

MARRIED TWO YEARS;
80 .4- PARTED FIVE TINES
Couples Marital Disputes En-
dangered by Friends Troubles.

Strangely mixed are the matrimonial
affairs Of William Henry Schlichter,
who, as a member of the Wholesale
millinery firm Of the Edward Rierdon
Company, receives about $4,000 a year,
and Mrs. Henrietta Marion Schlichter
The introduction of one Bingham into
the case is responsible for the COM
plications. Mrs. Schlichter sued her
husband for separation, and no
brought a counter claim for divorce,
naming Bingham, who, although well
known TO wife and husband, is not men
toned by his full name.
Five times the Schlichters separated
in two years Of married life. II was
during one of these trial separations,
that was to end in January. that the
husband, according to his allegations,
discovered Mrs. Schlichter's interest in
Bingham.
Mrs. Schlichter's story about her in 9.
Ierest in the mysterious Bingham diff
fers from that OF her husband. She
relates that her present position is due
TO her friendly intervention in his fam
lily affairs with intention to help him
bear his burden. She alleges that
Bingham, threatened by her husband
with a $4,000 suit for alternating her
affections, has made two afidavits for
Sehlichter. Another alleged considera-
tion was a promise of job, says Mrs.
Schlichter. The wife says that Bing-
ham confided TO her that he was mar
ried and that his wife and child were
in Buffalo. His father, he is quoted
as saying, knew nothing Of his mar
riage and already had quarrelled with
him because of his great expenditure
of money. Mrs. Schlichter says she
advised Bingham to tell his father OF
his marriage and publicly acknowledge
his wife and child. She added that I'M
less he did so, she would. Bingham did
not and Mrs. Schlichter did.
Schlichter told Justice Platzek that
he earned $4,000 last year, but that be-
cause Of the war his income would be
curtailed next year. The court awarded
the wife sl25 month almony and $500
| for counsel fees.

FAKE WINDOW AID
COSTS 500 FINE
Fraud, Exposed by Trib-
une, Prosecuted by Fur
nishings' Association.
CLERK CONVICTED;
DENOUNCED IN COURT
Misrepresented Manhattan y
Brand of Shirts-Sign Let
tered TO Deceive Public.

Abraham Goldstein, a clerk for Lee
Oppenheimer, haberdasher at 1875
Broadway, was fined 500 In Special
Sessions yesterday for advancing the
sale Of one brand Of shirts by means OF
a flake" window advertising card. The
trick was exposed by Samuel Hopkins
Adams, of The Tribune, through his
Window Bats" column last August
The court denounced 1t as patent
and fragrant fraud"
Goldstein dressed his window up
with a large shirt display and inserted
a placard with the words in large
type, Manhattan Shirts" A careful
examination Of the sign at close range
revealed in small type, too fine to be
read by the person outside, the word
Borough" By means of this device
he sold off Manhattan Borough
Shirts" while the buyers thought they
were getting Manhattan Shirts"
The expose in Window Bats was
noted by the Manhattan Shirt Com
pany. Then the case was turned over
TO the Wholesale Mems Furnishings
Association, for which Harry w. New
burger, of Rector Street, is counsel
This association is cooperating with
The Tribune "Ad-Visor" investigation
bureau. 1t was found that the shirt
window was in the hands of Goldstein,
the clerk. He was arrested. charged
with falsely and fraudulently advertis-
ing Manhattan shirts.
All the evidence, as noted in The
Tribune, was introduced in court. De-
fence was made that the word "Bor-
ough" on the sign relieved the defend
ant of all culpablity. The court de-
clared that it was patent attempt to
defraud, and imposed sentence of ten
days in city prison or fine Of 800
Goldstein paid
Mr.. Newburger. attorney for the
Furnishings Association, wrote the fol-
lowing letter TO c. Il. La Vigne, inves-
tigator for The Tribune's honest ad-
vertising bureau:
"My Dear Mr.. La Vigne-Pursuant TO
your request, ! wish to state that a
conviction was obtained to-day in the
Court of Special Sessions through the
efforts Of the Wholesale Mems Furnish
ings Association against one Gold
stein, an employe of proprietors of a
mems furnishings shop at 1879 Broad
way, near Fifty-third Street, for false
ly and fraudulently advertising Man
haitian shirts.
Before pronouncing judgment the
court characterized this particular ad-
vertisement as a most patent and flag
rant kind Of fraud, and sentenced Gold
stein to pay fine Of 800 or be CON-
mitted to Jail for ten days. The fine
was paid"

TO ORGANIZE NEEDY.
CHRISTMAS PLAN
Salvation Army Baskets Start
Off Scheme to Have Poor
Aid Poor.

Commander Evangeline Booth, of the
Salvation Army, has a plan for making
thousands Of dependent persons in this
city independent. She will begin
Christmas Day by sending out from
the 9th Regiment Armory, on West
Fourteenth Street, G,000 baskets con-
tanning 10000 individual dinners.
The names, addresses, conditions Of
life, reasons for poverty and all other
data concerning each friend who re-
ceives a Christmas dinner, or any other
benefit through the Salvation Army,
will be collected. Then, after New
Years. with all this information at
hand, Commander Booth will perfect an
organization among the poor for the
poor. II is not enough TO create ro-
CARNATIONS Of citizens who will take
an interest in the unfortunate, she
says. The needy must be organized to
overcome their own needs.
"Of course, organized poverty and
organized restitution do not have
pleasant sounds" said Commander
Booth, "but these will be converted
into organized encouragement.
"Many thousands of persons are un-
fit TO support themselves simply be-
cause they have lost courage. Let us
get these people together, have them
condole with each other and exchange
condolences. | am sure good results
would follow. We will welcome those
who have lost in the struggle for e1-
istence, who feel that they can't float
alone"
Colonel f. J. Parker, the social sec
rotary, and other Salvation Army lead
ers said they were in full sympathy
with Miss Booths suggestion. per
sons who take baskets from us at
Christmas belong to tbr helpless, not
to the vicious, elements of society"
Colonel Parker said Fifty thousand
of these will be cared for In some way
in the metropolitan district this Yule-
tide. Business conditions have solved,
temporarily, the problem OF unemploy-
ment for those who are willing TO work,
but we still have with us the sub
standard men and the unfit"
