PHYSICIANS WIFE
DIESFRONT DRINK
In NEGROSLUMS
Body of Mrs. IF. Sinclair,
Prosperous Philadelph-
ian, Found After Search.

Atlantic City, July In a grimy
little hall bedroom of negro boarding
mouse in the slums Of this city, they
found to-day the body of Mrs. John
F. Sinclair, the wife of a well known
Philadelphia physician.
A week ago she was the mistress OF
a handsome house in Chelsea. Then
the dipsomania against which she had
fought for years drove her from her
home. She disappeared, and private
detectives and police found no clew OF
her until the wasted corpse was discov-
cred to-day, stretched upon filthy bed
in the lowest quarter of Atlantic City.
Her husband, who had struggled
with her against her affliction, knew
what TO expect when the crazed woman
gathered together some pieces of jew
elry and disappeared. She had gone
away before on the same errand.
There would be day or so of anxiety,
and then a pale, racked figure would
creep back home, to play the role OF
the prosperous physicians wife until
the craving overthrow her again.
This time two days passed and then
three and there had been no word from
her. She had never stayed so long
before, and DR.. Sinclair called in rri-
vate detectives. The clews they found
led nowhere, and ever-increasing anxi-
ETY. drove the physician TO appeal TO
the Philadelphia police. These found
several pieces of the jewelry in pawn
shops, and there the trail ended.
Two days ago, a haggard figure in a
dress once handsome, now torn and
stained, wandered aimlessly through
Archer Street, Atlantic City. The
negro inhabitants watched her climb
the rickety steps of a cheap lodging
house and enter. She hired a tiny
room, stretched herself OF the cot 1t
contained, and died The proprietor
Of the house notified the police and
the county physician gave a certificate
of death from natural cause to Jane
Doe" To-day negro undertaken
was commissioned to bury her.
When he appeared at the City Hall
for a permit, q detective overheard
the description he gave CT the woman.
Il followed closely an advertisement
which had been inserted by the Sin
clairs in the Atlantic City papers. He
went with the undertaken to the house
where the dead woman lay and then
telegraphed DR.. Sinclair.
Aged by the long week Of suspense,
the doctor and his son came TO Allan
tic City and identified Mrs. Sinclair.
She. still was clothed in the gown she
had worn when she went away. On the
left side of her neck were several
wounds which might have been caused
by a fall, or might have been the result
of an attack.

Herman Miller, Of Stapleton, the
healthiest baby in Richmond Borough,
had the biggest day of his nine months
existence yesterday. Probably Her
man did not know what it was all
about, but some day his mother will
tell him.
In the morning he was dressed up
spic and span for the parade Of babies
in their carts from the milk station on
Dock Street to the Office of the Health
Department, in Stapleton, q mile away.
Herman knew the milk station better
than most Of his 266 young competi-
tors, for his home, Sl2 Van Duzer
Street, is right near the station and
Herman has been n regular patron.
While Herman sucked his thumb and
essayed a few gurgling sounds, the
judges gravely informed him that he
had attained a perfection percentage OF
1856. After the blue ribbon had been
pinned on his new white dress. he was
bundled into a big touring car with

veloped child, and another award to the
baby who had derived the most benefit
from the station.

Emerson, Deputy Commissioner OF
Health, representing Commissioner ).
s. Goldwater; by DR.. Josephine Baker
head Of the Child Hygiene department.
Mrs. Edward Z. Wisely, chairman OF
the committee in charge Of the con-
test, and the Rev Pascal Narrower, OF
the Church of the Ascension, New
Brighton.
Regardless OF the prizes, all the 267
mothers were congratulated on taking
advantage Of an opportunity to learn
more about bringing up the future cit
liens Of Richmond. As result Of the

KEPT PAJAMAS IN SAFE
But at That Brooklyn Politi.
clan Lost New Raiment.

Sheriff Charles Odell, of Suffolk
County, stopped in front Of the coun-
ty Jail in Riverhead, Long Island, yes
terday, and moppeI his brow.
"Gosh," said he, "I'Ye got worse
mystery now than who stole that
100000 rope of pearls at SouJhamp-
ton. I've got to discover WHO stole
Selah B. Strong's pajamas."
Strong is a lawyer, with an Office in
Brooklyn and a home in Setauket,
Long Islard. He is prominent as
reform politician in Suffolk County.
Some one entered his Brooklyn Office
recently and stole from his safe a
suit case. In the case was new pair
of pajames. Strong says he thinks
some political enemy robbed him.
Sheriff Odell quit working on the
Jewel mystery long enough yesterday
TO stop every politician who came
within hearing OF the county building.
Did you steal Selah's paJamas ?"
was the stern query lie put to every
one, but not a man would admit he
had the missing rarnen:.

TENNIS WIZARD
HELD ON CHARGES
Police Say Touchard Con-
feSSed Stealing Golf Balls
from Employers.

Gustave Fitzhugh Touchard, national
indoor tennis champion. waived ex-
animation before Magistrate House in
Norkville Court yesterday. where he
was charged with stealing twenty-fOur
dozen golf balls, valued at S2S8, from
lis employers, the Abercrombie e. Fitch
Company, Of SO West Thirty-sixth
Street. He was held in $4,000 bail.
Touchard refused to make any state
ment in court. He was not seen at his
apartment, "a East Forty-eighth Street,
after he left at a. m. TO appear in
court.
Il is reported that an affidavit in the
possession of detectives assigned to the
case will show that Touchard confessed
TO the thefts which have been puzzling
Abercrombie e. Fitch for several
months. Frederick E. Hill, treasurer Of
the company, refused to talk about the
arrest Of the young tennis expert. He
referred reporters to the firms lawyers,
Chadbourne, Hunt & Jaeckel, at 80 Lib
erty Street
Since Touchard had been manager Of
the golf supply department, his en-
ployers, the police say, have lost more
than S400 worth of golf balls. De-
tectives say they saw the tennis cham
pion leave the store with a new suit
case, followed him TO sporting goods
store further uptown and allege they
saw him dispose Of a large number Of
golf balls.
Close friends of Touchard say his
gembling habits have been dominating
him since his young wife died in May,
1914. She was before her marriage
Miss Emeline Holmes, youngest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jabish Holmes, Of
1OS East Seventy eighth Street She
died at the home of her parents after
giving birth to son.
Gustave Touchard is twenty-six years
old. He began his spectacular career
as a schoolboy on the public courts,
formerly in 18th Street, near Amster-
dam Avenue. From small local tourna-
ments he gradually emerged as a "frail
wizard" of the courts. In 1910 he won
the national indoor championship, and
the following year, with Raymond D.
Little as his partner, helped take the
national doubles championship away
from Alexander and Hackett In 1918
and 1914 he again won the indoor title,
and last month added the New Jersey
state championship 10 his laurels.
When he filed a petition in bank
ruptcy in 1912 he specified that the
bulk Of his S3,033 liabilities were gam

When the last beam had been lifted,
Bick jumped TO his feet, grinned,
brushed off his clothes, and started TO
walk away. His clothes were not torn;
there was not a scratch on him.

c. L. c. Porter, Widows Only
Son, Suicide in Home on
Riverside Drive.

Children were playing In the big,
airy hallway Of the apartment house
at $50 Riverside Drive yesterday after
noon. Two dolls had been put to bed
in the vestibule. Outside, across the
park, the waters OF the Hudson
cleaned in the sunshine. 1t didn't
look like spot In which there could
be any violence, yet upstairs in that
house a young man, Clifford L. c.
Porter, the only son of his widowed
mother, lay dead by his own hand.
Porter, who was only twenty years
old, read manuscripts for the George
II. Doran Company, publishers, at 3S
West Thirty-second Street. Lately fell
low workers noticed that he seemed
tired What they didn't know was
that he had great ambition TO excel
as writer himself, and that when he
went home at night he would sit up
until $ o'clock in the morning, some
times, toiling at his writing.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon two
shots in his room were heard. His
grandmother, Mrs. Lucie Paget, was in
the apartment, but, old and deaf, she
heard nothing. But the superintend-
cnt Of the building, August .Carker,
heard, and called TO Harry Parish, the
agent. Together they ran to the apart
ment, and were admitted by Mrs.
Paget.
The men forced young Porter's door,
which was locked. and found him lying
on the floor, fully dressed, with two
bullet holes in his head. A 32-calibre
automatic Colt revolver lay beside him
L. L
side it were two bottles, one labelled
acoonite, the other gel!semium. In each
only few drops of the poisons re-
NAMED. Determined to die, he had
swallowed the contents Of both bottles
before aiming the revolver ut his head.
Porter's employer could think Of no
reason for the deed.

Miss Reda Houseman, twenty-six
months old, of 40 Brook Avenue,

per cent, but since she has had three
times as long to attain her perfection
the judges figured that il this contest
the young gentleman should precede
the young lady.
Master James Shurley, the only
negro baby entered in the contest, won

His frs. and only six months have
been spent with his parents at 80
