FOUL PLAY
In MOYNAN DEATH
Daughters Unable to Find
Check for $4,000 He
Had Leaving Home.

The body of Richard Moynan, of 2l26
Sixtv-sevelth Street, Brooklyn, found
on the tracks Of the New York Central
near Dobbs Ferry Friday morning, was
identified by his three daughters yes
terday They were further concerned
over the absence of check for $4,000
which they believe their father had in
his possession at the time of his death.
Mrs Wagner, one of the sisters, stated
that she had seen her father leave with
the check.
Moynan told his family in going that
he would be gone a few days 70 close
up a big deal upstate in connection
with his business as a motion picture
nromoter. He was so certain OIL us
success that he had planned trip TO
San Francisco for two Of his daugh..
tiers from the proceeds. No trace OF
the check was found on what was lett
of his body after score OF night
trains had passed over it.
Moynan apparently did not tell his
daughters Just where he was goirg, and
the authorities of Hastings on-Hudson
and Dobbs Ferry have failed to md
any one with whom the dead man
might have had business connections
in either of those places. Motion plct-
urc people there have never seen MN:
Miss Helen Moynan. who first read
Of her fathers death in a newspaper
while riding home on a Brooklyn ele-
waited train. suspects that he may have
met death through violence. 1t is be-
lieved he fell or was pushed from the
train, and his daughter inclines to the
latter theory. as no trace of the check
which it was known he had can be
found.
Moynan was retired widower. con-
sidered wealthy by his neighbors. lie
was fifty-two years old, and had six
daughters. two of them married. lie
was formerly in the real estate busl-
ness, and did other promoting. HIS
todv was taken to Brooklyn yesterday
and the funeral will BE- held this even
ing at his home. the Rev. Herbert Co
vile. Of the Church of the Advent. Of
floating Burial will be in Greenwood
Cemetery on Monday morning.

his wife gave him did not equal that
amount, he said.

with revolver in her hand, intending
to end her life.

fed that his wife met Mills in the
West, obtained divorce and married
him.

FIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT
Citizens Will Help Make the Affair a Memorable One.

Already the local firemen are plan- ming for the forthcoming big firemen' $ day in Canaan, when the annual tour nament of the Harlem Valley Fire. mems Association will be held here probably on Monday, July 5-although the event has usually been held on Labor Day.
 The Harlem Valley Firemen's Asso- citation is comprised of nine fire com. pam, S--Canaan, Lakeville, Millerton, sharon, Am mia. Dover Plains, Pawl- ing, Millhruuk anA Philmont, and the annual tournament iS held, alternately, in these respective towns and iS an inn portant and lively occasion, bringing, besides the tircmen, with six or seven brass bands, hundreds of visitors from surrounding localities. The Canaan boys have participated in a number of these events and are naturally dcsirous of returning the hospitality they have enjoyed, in manner that will make q favorable impression upon their visit. ing comrades and reflect credit upon the cordial hospitality of their home town. To this end it is essential that the people of the town cooperate with the firemen in arranging welcome and entertainment in keeping with our re. putation for generous providing and sociability. Details of the manner in which the people may cooperate with the firemen will be worked out in due time, and it is safe to predict that the firemen will not find their fellow I T. T. stantial helpfulness when the time comes.
 Canaan is proud of its firemen, who have, on repeated occasions, shown their readiness and ability to fight with good effect for the protection of the homes and property of the citizens.

Wife Tells Stories of Astonishing
 Treatment by Husband.
 A Waterbury account of the divorce proceedings of Mrs. Erastus Johnson against her husband, who was until recently the proprietor of the stage route from Canaan to Southfield:
 Mrs. Iris l.. Johnson, of Glenbrook arstwhile of Canaan, characterized her husbands treatment of her as mildly as any woman who has ever sat us chief witness in her own uncontested divorce suit. She said, Well he treated me with great lack of consid. cration." "
 It is usual for wife under such con ditions to tell horrible story of phy- sical suiferings, black eyes and broken bones, and tell how her husband was one of the worst mon that ever was born.
 Mrs. Johnson married Erastus S. Johnson, Canaan farmer, April 30, 1906. She had been living in Glen rrook, but she moved into Litchtield County with her husbanl.

 She hal him arre,tcl twice for non support and he left her. He made an effort to secure a divorce in Ohio, but failed.
 When she served him with divorce papers he retained Attorney :. A. Her man to contest it. Then he decided he would offer no resistance. Again he changed his mind and hired Attorney William W. Bierce. He let Bierce go finally and retained l.. J. Nickerson, the pride of Litchfeld County. Mir. Nickerson contended himself with sit ting in the court room. He arranged with Attorney Cressey, who represented Mrs. Johnson, about the alimony and the court fixed the amount of $500.

OVID GILLETTE FLIES
Canaanite Has Novel Experience Soar
 ing Through the Air.

Editor News: I promised to write and let you know how it seemed to fly. Well, this morning about nine o'clock we walked down to the hangar on the pier and engaged for short trip phe weather wus ideal, bright sun, clear air and after putting on cap and goggles and oil coat to keep the spray off while on the water, We climbed ill. The driver cranked the machine and another man pushed little and we slid down an inclined plane into the water.
 We kept going faster until we were clear or the water, then we gradually arose till we were a thousand feet high more or less and sailed along the edge of the bay about mile, then back, and before landing in the water the operator tipped the boat up and started down as if we were going head first in- to the water, but we didn't as he turn ed it up again. It was like one of those dreams you have, of falling but never striking. He did this two or three times, then came to the water and ran right back up on the plane where we started.
 It was a delightful ride and one never could forget the sensation of sailing through the air like bird. The boat, where we sit, is just wide enough for two, and the passenger sits beside the driver. The propeller is just one blade, spoon shaped at both ends and hung in the middle and is driven by 75 h. D. gasoline engine at terrific speed to raise the boat as they want to.
 Now MT. Editor, if you want the ride of your life, come down to the Sunshine City and get it. Several ladies went mp after did and tried to coax Mrs. G. to go, but she would have none of it, contenting herself with taking snap shot of us. o. P. Gillette,

JOHN BECKLEY LOSES
Must Pay Damages to Woman Injured
 Shaking Rug.

John G. Beckley, of the Hartford Times staff, has lost his case before the supreme court, by a decision handed Town Tuesday in Hartford. It was q case brought under the compensation act, by Mrs. Alvah Bayon, a house. work woman. and involved the ques- tion of employers of less than five per sons. The woman was injured while shaking a rug. She was awarded damages by the compensation commits 5ioncr and MT. Beckley took an appeal.
 "There are two questions of law to be decided," says the opinion. Are employers who regularly employ less than five within the scope of the law, and if they are, does failure to con- ply with the provisions of Section 30, Part 5, deprive not only them, but also their employees of the benefits of its provisions ?
 "It is clearly the intention on the part of the legislature that it applies to all, " saws the court. I've cannot poll the legislature, but we think that em- Dloyers having less than five are in cluded in its provisions. When an employer complies with the act, he is under it provisions and when he does not, he loses his right to common law defense, says the court.
