Wife and KerfOOt Retain
Same Lawyer - New
Action Planned.

The $4,000 alienation suit brought
against John Barrett Kerfoot. author
and former literary editor Of Life,
by his brother-in-law and chum. Fred
erick William Hunter, for the alleged
breaking up of the Hunter home, took
on a new turn yesterday. 1t was dis
covered that Mrs. Hunter and Mr.. ker-
foot had employed the same lawyer
George H. Engelhard, of Engelhard q
Pollak, III Broadway take care OF
their interests.
Mr.. Fngelhard told The Tribune that
he had been retained by Mrs. Hunter
for a long time previous TO the aliena-
ton suit brought against Mr.. kerfoo''
He also said that action would be taken
Immediately on behalf of his clients.
At the Office Of Mr.. Hunters attor-
new. Carlisle Norwood, Of So William
Street. it was said that the Hunter pair
were not expected "to kiss and make
up"
Mr.. herfoot yesterday afternoon
modified his frst statement that MS
erstwhile friend Hunter had brought
suit against him merely out OF Spite
but said that it was due to "retaI,a-
tion." What cause he had given MI
Hunter to retaliate he refused TO say
was Mrs. Hunters separation from
her husband due to incompataoiiity or
was there some other reason =. Mr.
Kerfoot was asked at his bachelor
apartment, 227 Riverside Drive:
Haven't the least idea" replied the
man who had lived in the same house
with the Hunters at l27 East Thirty
seventh Street and Freehold, y. D.,
from June Is, 1899, until September
10, 1914.
Mrs. Hunter, who is now at her
family home in Freehold. N. J., was
deaf TO all inquiries yesterday, but she
characterized her husbands complaint
against Mr.. Kerfoot as "most ridicu-
lous."

KISS AND FORGET? MRS. MORSE SAYS
NO, SAY HUNTERS SHE'S UNMARRIED
Denies Writing Bigamy
Note to Perkins-Sus-
poets an Enemy.

Quite unexpectedly the mystery of
the letter received recently by District
Attorney Perkins, purporting to come
from Mrs. Quincy T. Morse, of SAT Riv-
erside Drive, suffrage worker, in which
she was made to say she had commit
tea bigamy, was cleared up yesterday.
Mrs. Morse didn't write the letter.
Besides, she never was guilty of bigamy.
She could not be, for her husband died
and she never married again. The ex-
PLANTATION is that the letter was written
by an enemy of Mrs. Morse to embar-
rass her, said Colonel Alexander S.
Bacon, her counsel, in a suit to recover
SO 900 from Hugh NJ. Creighton, stock
broker. Creighton was to testify yes
terday. Mrs. Morse, accompanied by
her lawyer, went to the Supreme Court,
where the examination was to take
place. This is the letter received by
Mr.. Perkins:
81 was married ten days ago. My
husband is a lawyer OF great abiilty
and distinguished fanny. Oh ms
fathers side he is related TO Supreme
Court justice and on his mothers side
to d recent Ambassador to England
"The suffrage club of which | am a
member will support me, and conn
IDENTIFY expect the national organization
will do the same. | don't mind telling
you that | confded my purpose to Mrs.
Pankhurst when she was my guest some
months ago, and she gave it her I'M
qualified approval.
According to the law have commit
ted bigamy, and | challenge the Dis
trict Attorney to prosecute.
MRS. GURNEY T. MORSE"
"Mrs. Morse did not write the letter.
said Colonel Bacon yesterday. What
is more, she is not married nor was she
ever divorced from her husband. He
died in Kentucky some time ago. The
letter, We have learned, was written
by an enemy to embarrass her and get
her into trouble"
Creighton did not appear for exam
nation. His lawyer obtained an ad-
iournment.

WILL CALL "STAYOUT"
WITHIN FIVE WEEKS
Believe Move Will Silence For
ever Old Anti "Place.iri-
Home" Argument.

"Our idea in having a one-day wom-
ans strike in New York City is to spike
40. all time the big anti gun, 'Wom-
ans place is in the home!'" said Mrs.
Norman de r. Whitehouse yesterday
after a meeting of the Empire state
Campaign Committee at oOo Fllth ave-
nue..
tions, both social and industrial, were
represented. They voted In favor OF
the strike, and fourteen CLUBS sent III
letters urging 1t.
awe know that the 'antis' will call US
laviess for advocating what will
amount TO a tie-up of industry for one
whole day, for you must remember that
one-third of the women Of voting age
in New York State work outside the
home and that they are employed IN
ali but three trades. We do not desire
10 cripple industry or inconvenience
EMPLOYERS" Mrs. Whitehouse contln-
ued. "but we cannot see any way to
avoid those unpleasantnesses and yet
make q strike which will prove our
point. We are merely trying to show
that the phrase 'Woman's place is IN
the home really has no meaning under
modern conditions, and our method OF
proof will be TO have women stay, for
one day at least, right where the
ants say their place is"
The strike of women will be called
either during the last week in Sep
TENDER or the first week in October.
The idea to keep up the demonstration
for a week was not looked upon favor
ably by the committee because the in
tention of the suffragists is not to in
terefere with industry, but merely to
bring the theorist TO realization, OF
the change in modern conditions that
forces women 10 go out of the home
whether they will or not.
"But our greatest problem said

BAND STOPS PANIC
AS STAND COLLAPSES
Gay Music Succeeds at Field
Games When Police Fail.

Lively tunes played by band Of
undismayed musicians proved more eff
fective than orders from excited police
men in stopping panic at the fifth
annual carnival of the Keansburg Asso-
citation at Keansburg, n. j., yesterday.
While thousands were watching ath-
letic games arranged for Changers
Day" a part of the grandstand col
lapsed, hurting three hundred specta =
tors to the boardwalk.
In the confusion women tainted, men
fought to extricate themselves from the
debris and save their children, and the
police seemed helpless. Just then the
bandmaster waved his baton, the banl
played a march, just as though nothing
had happened, and the panic quoted.
Four physicians were summoned to
attend to ten persons who were serious
~ injured.

TWO DIE IN HOTEL FIRE
Smoke Suffocates Guests and Flames
Catch Them in Hallway.

Two men, prevented by binding
smoke from cropping their way to safe
ty, died yesterday in a fire which de-
stroyed three floors of the American
Hotel, at SO Montgomery Street, Jersey
City. Their bodies were found by fire
men after the blaze had been extin-
guished. The police hope to be able to
identify them.
The blaze started when fifty men,
mostly night workers, were asleep on
four floors of the six story building.
Three alarms were turned in. Men half
dressed were hustled tothe street by
the fire escapes as the flames cut off
the stairways. When the blaze was
finally under control the iremen ex-
plored the building, found the victims
in the corridors.
The hotel records were saved, and
through them the police hope to iden-
tify the men.

No one here doubts the sincerity Of
the officials who are investigating the
lynching, but Georgians generally rec
ognize that the chances are hundred
